There will be three more diagrams,
ending Saturday. But you have then
another week in which to work over
your ideas, for the time limit does not
expire until Saturday, April %.
That means you don't have to hur-
ry. And you can use all II diagrams,
or as many more as you wish. There
are absolutely no restrictions as to
number. The more the merrier, and
the better chance I have to get some
thing different to wear at the beach
this summer.
Remember, the two girls, old,
young, blond or brunei, who send in
the best designs will each be given a
bathing suit as a reward. The max
imum cost Of the suit to be $40. It's
worth an effort.
Hundreds Of designs have poured
in, but the winner may yet be to
come. 1 don't know. There have
been some very chic ideas, and their
range has been wide. Some of the
Cne-piece ones have been much to
my liking. And there have also been
some skirt effects that caused me to
Hnger Maybe I'll have to get two
suits for myself
Artistic ability, have emphasized,
is not the most considered quality.
Taste of design and ability to blend
cOlOrs make the big impression. But
you needn't use cOIors for your draw
ings. Indicate on the margin the
material and color. Pen and ink,
pencil or cOlors, it makes no differ
ence what your design is outlined
with.
Get busy and help me-and at the
same time maybe you will be help
ing yourself. The young lady who
was given the Castle gown last year
said she didn't know much about
drawing-but she certainly knew all
there was to know about style.

THE RAILROAD PROBLEM

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in III recommendations to Con-
gress with regard to the railroads OF
IN" country. makes : practical confess
sion OF its inability to solve Il problem
it has so long devoted its best abili-
ties 70. Il is not surprising that 1t
has thrown up its hands. when the
trans po7tation systems themselves are
n a state OF like bcwilderment. \
central control authority seems to be
the best proposition that has been
submitted as way out Of IN" present
confusion Outright government own
ership looks like dangerous alterna-
tive in handing over 4 vast and COM
pick business to a governing power
that cannot untangle its own admins
trative difficulties.
1t would be highly presumptuous for
layn,en to point out AM scheme for
solution OF the great problem whsn
experts have failed IN III" attempt.
Eut the question will persist. have the
railroads been given fair show OF
their ability 10 extricate themselves?
Have they not been more the victims
Of too many bosses. too much conflict
ing and duplicating regulation than
falling through any inherent incompc-
;.ucy on their, part. The greatest
marvel Of the whole situation is that
the railroads have been able to per-
form as we'll rs they have under the
pillar to post policy they have been
subjected 10.
4 sane observer Of the unhappy sit
uation suggests that satisfactory
,,ian OF the government would be,
along with its other purchases from
steel and equipment companies. to
buy outright 100 900 cars. more or less.
md lease these TO whatever railroads
rnr help the government most in its
var prerarations. After the war the
government should then sell them at
lair market price to whatever rail-
roads needed more cars under peace
conditions. The guarantee OF la'r
profits and leasing of rolling stock
would enable the railroads to come
through the war in sound condition,
and 10 avoid thr dangers inevitably as
sociated with unwholesome political
paternalism.
