INDEPENDENT RAILROAD
BUILDING ABOUT OVER

The day Of independent railroad con-
struction Is about over and further rail-
road building must be done mainly by
the existing systems, Judge Robert 8.
Lovett, chairman Of the executive COM
mittee of the Union Pacific. told the New
lands committee yesterday.
People will not invest their money In
new speculative ventures. which may not
succeed. he said. unless there Is chance
for a large speculative profit which un-
der railroad regulation as 1t now exists
is no longer possible. and, therefore, most
new construction must have the backing
OF strong existing systems with ample
credit

TWINKLE, TWINKLE,
LITTLE HAT! fine!
Makes Mi-lady Look as Though She's
Smilins-Yes, All the Time.

The twinkle hat made its DEBUT on
street yesterday.
Everyone has seen the postal card pic
ture of President Wilson which smiles
when a series of little paper stats on
which the picture is printed are MADE 10
move backward and forward.
Some clever person has invented sort
of cloth that is just as elusive. 1t looks
like rather open. stiff net that is much
coarser than fly screen. On one side OF
the net are little scales that quiver with
the slightest movement. sometimes clos
ing up the holes in the net entirely and
other times leaving them wide open.
The fashion now is to use this new
twinkle cloth on the rims of hats, with
a small band of heavy stiffening. The
rim is rather large and turned down.
The idea Is to have the rim Of the hat
turned down so much that man must
look through the rim to see the eyes of
the lady.
The effect Of the twinkle cloth" Is to
make the eyes of the lady seem to smile
continually-in fact. perfectly charm
ing effect.

GET MUSTARD PLASTER
and FORGET To DIE!
Dr.. Mary Walker Says Doctors Kill
Pain by Causing Worse Pain.

DR.. Mary Walker exposed the doctors
last night
when they are called to see some man
who has a pain in his 'tummy, said
Dr. Mary, they put on a mustard plaster
and the plaster burns so bad that the pa
tient forgets all about the original pain.
The doctors would be in tight place
without counter-irritants.
Modern surgery is mostly develop
ment of the mustard plaster. or counter
irritant. The operation so turns the
thought of the patient from the pain in
his appendix, and so shocks him during
the operation, that he forgets about
everything else"
DR.. Walker said that medicine and doc
tors kill more people than pains ever did,
and that when a person got sick the log
ical thing to do was to distract the atten-
ton Of the patient from the pain with a
joke or with a mustard plaster.
IF a man Is dying and you put on a
plaster that is hot enough to make him
forget his pain. he'll probably recover"
concluded Dr. Walker.

BUILD BOMB SHELTERS
Index Them for Public Use in London
VIII Close Schools.

London, Oct. 17.-London's bomb
proof shelters are being card-indexed
in preparation for further German
raids. Sufficient tunnels, arches,
crypts, Easements and substantial
buildings have been inventoried to ac-
commodate one million persons.
In makig this announcement today
Sir George Cave, home secretary, de-
clared an advisory board of prominent
surveyors will be appointed to make
a canvass of bomb-proof shelters in
Greater London. He said the gov
eminent had decided to make it a reg
ulation under the defense of the
realm act to require every one posses0
ing a bomb-proof shelter to place it at
the disposal of the public.
The decision of the educational au-
thorities to close all the London
schools during the last week in Octo-
Der is perhaps the most interesting of
the many steps being taken in antic-
ipation of the recurrence of the Ger
man raids as soon as the moon is up
again. Air raid shelter placards are
being distributed thruout the metro
politan area.
Many substantial forms of relief for
air raid victims and their relatives are
announced a result of a conference
of the mayors of the various London
bOrOughS.
