MORE FUNDS NEEDED
|. TO HANDLE RAILROAD
TRAFFIC, THOM SAYS
Counsel for Railways Declares
S1,250,OOO,OOO viii Be
Needed Annually to Increase
Their Facilities
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Nov 24.-RailroadS
will need s1,25O.OOO additional capital
annually for the next ten or twelve years
to increase their facilities to handle the
country's growing commerce, Alfred P.
Thorn. counsel for the railway executives
advisory, committee, told the congress
sional railroad investigating committee
today. About $3.50. 100000 year addi-
tional will be required. he said, to re-
fund maturing indebtedness.
To attract investors Mr.. Thorn sug-
gested that federal regulation should re-
divided between the states and the CEN
trail government.
"It has been found" said Mr.. Thorn,
that the wealth of the country has been
increasing at the rate of or per cent
a year and the same ratio of increase has
held good as to the demand for trans
portation AS the forces which have at
fected the growth and development of
the past apparently still continue in full
operation, and may reasonably be ex-
pected to continue for the next ten or hf-
teen years at least, the investment In
railroad facilities to meet the large re-
quirements of the future must conse-
quently grow at a corresponding annual
rate Of increase"
! The estimate of $1.25o.000 for addi-
tional transportation facilities includes
nothing for extensions into new terri
tory, he added.
Where is this money or any sum ap-
proximating it to come from asked Mr..
Thorn. This problem is one OF vital
interest to the public because on It's
successful solution depends the COM
mercial facilities of the country. Would
it do to confront the investor, when ask
ing for this great investment, with a
situation where the revenues. of the rail-
roads are not subject to the control of
the investors, but are fixed and limited
not only by governmental authority, but
by many unco-ordinated state authorities
in no way responsible 10 each other, and
where the railroads cannot control and
the government cannot and does not linn

"a Lady Can Be a Lady Any

.Barberet Who Knows
BY HONOR TANNING.

CHICAGO. Ill. Nov. 25.-Bernice. the
boss barber, stropped her razor and
deftly raised a hot towel from the face
of an "open-faced" youth, while she re-
peated this axiom that was old when
the first prude was born:
"a lady can be a lady anywhere
take that straight from me-"
Eight little barberets in a row across
the T-nite-tiled. white-ceilinged shop
nodded approval and one piped: That
goes double herei''
Bernice was not talking to hear her
self talk, after the manner of the male
barber. She meant what she said; she
was squelching freshie; a task that
has to be done several times day.
From this you will gather that in

departments estimate was based on a
field survey of cotton marketing no rep
resentative cites in the nine Principal
cotton-growing states.
The department calls attention to- the
fact that cotton producers can have a
large share in improving these condi-
tions, and ii urges growers to familiar
ize themselves with grades and to in
sist that the. proper classification be
given their bales by buyers. Emphasis
also is placed on the economic impor-
lance of securing proper ginning. ade-
