Ever since il began It's work. more
than two years ago. the Virginia Blu
rcau of Vacations has found itself. con-
tinuously hampcrcd by the lack of OPP
portunity for training In social work
i'm Virginia. Desirable positions re-
curing such training came continually
to it's notice. hut there were practi-
cally no trained applicants. and no
opportunity for unframed applicants to
secure training in Virginia. The re-
suit was that positions in Virginia had
to he filed by applicants from the North
and West, while Virginia girls were
left without positions and without OPP
portunity for training.
This need for training within the
state for it's own home material had
also been keenly felt by the various or
gnnizations in Richmond land other
parts of Virginia engaged in activities
more or less closely related to social
work. To crystalline thought upon the
subject the Bureau of Vacations call

SOME VICTORIES.
What Has Been Done to the Saloon
and How It Stands Today.

From a recent article in The lnde
pendent by William A lien White IN an
article styled: Government OF the
People, by the People. for the People,
we take the following as showing
something OF what has been done to
the saloon and its present standing:
DREAMS COME TRUE
"The saloon banished from half the
psop3e OF America and from more than
halt the geographical area OF the land !;
a majority in Congress against the
saloon, the courts against it, the
churches militanty against it, and the
body of public opinion so strongly
against the saloon that time-servlng
politicians of both parties are afraid
of their former aily--all this and wo-
man suffrage in twelve states, more or
less restricted woman suffrage IN halt
a dozen others. This is the dream
come true of the long-haired men and
short haired women Of the palmy days

RAILROADS HARD HIT.
No Other Important Industry Has Suf-
fered so Much Recent Years.

The railroads were the last import
ant industry IN the country to shov
the effect of the revival of trade, ant
: they have shown 1T least, while tn,
prices for railroad securities on tn,
exchange have Jagged far behinc
those fer lndustrlals.
The simple reasons for this are fount
IN the many repressive laws of the
last few years and, even more import
antly. in the rate situation.
Ocean freight rates have, unde,
pressure of the law of supply and de.
mand. advanced from sou to 700 pei
cent. Prices of several metals ano
manufactured chemicals have advanc
ed as much.
Steel and iron products are sold at
constantly higher quotations. So stand
ard commodity as copper is now sell
ing for "a 1-2 cents per pound. as
against II cents before the boom set
In.
But whatever the cost OF their prod
uct or whatever the demand for 1T, the
railroads cannot ask any more return
for it. 1t is IN consequence of this Sit
uation that the railroad mileage ,con-
structed IN 1915 IS actually the small
est since 1864, and that in October,
1915. greater mileage of railroads
was in the hands of receivers in the
United States than at any time in our
history.
With the OF 20 of the roads lncreas-
ed constantly ~ advances IN wages and
taxes and special prescriptions OF the
state and national authority, their in
come availap,e for interest and divl-
dends has teDGr to decrease during
recent years.
Few peoria dsysat that government
regulation OF the railways has come to
stay, and that much good has been
done through it, 1t IS fact, however,
that investors Will put money into
anything that looks hopeful rather
than railways. American Review of
Reviews for February.

new GERMAN RAIDER
Sinks Seven Merchantmen and Brings
Prize Into Newport News.

Last week German commander
steamed into Newport News with a
merchantman Appacn, formerly owned
by England. 1t had been captured
some days before some 800 miles OFT
the Spanish coast. 1t was captured by
a German raider named Moewe. The
raider had previously sunk seven other
merchantmen.
The Appam carried nearly $50 peo-
pie aside from the prize crew of about
rs men. All were prisoners. The
ship had been mined and the passen-
gers were warned that any attempt to
overcome the prize crew would result
in the ship being sunk at once.
There is a story afloat that there are
two German raiders aAoat, both of
which slipped out of the kiel canal
some time ago and eluded the British
war vessels patrolll.. the North Sea.
The Appam Will likely be lnterned
for the war as any attempt to put to
sea would be sure to result IN the YES
sci being captured or sunk. All
prisoners aboard have been released.
