heated offices where the regulation of
the temperature is not within your in

fellow workers or employers are not

misfortune to be so confined, try and
make up for 1t by giving yourself the

Night is the time for mental and

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Here is a
winter costume to delight the eye,
with its rich, effective simplicity. It's
general line suggests the ever-popu.
lar Jersey, with its close-fitting bodice
and the new tight sleeve. The gown
is constructed of dark velvet and the
lavish braiding is done in silver SOU
tache.
The velvet of the bodice is almost
concealed by the intricate meander-
ings of the silver cord and the collar
and cuffs of black fur add another
touch of sumptuousness.
The braiding appears again on the
rather narrow underskirt which peeps
from beneath the full overskirt OF
velvet. The 5raiding is also used on
the modified pouch pockets. where
the design is more distinct than that
on the bodice.

Railroads United for
War, Willard Reports
$50 Lines Have Responded to
Every Suggestion from Ma
tional Defence Council

Baltimore. July 10.-Daniel Willard
chairman of the committee on trans
portation OF the Council Of National
Defence, in a statement declared to-
day that the American railroads have
at last been nationalized for war pur-
poses and are working as one system
in the present crisis.
"The essence OF the railroad situa-
ton" said Mr. Willard, ais that 693
railroad companies, operating IN forty
eight states and controlling 263,O0O
miles of road. are responding ad-
mirably TO central direction from the
so-called war board OF railway presi-
dents. They have responded 20 every
suggestion made by the Council of Ma
tional Defence through the war board.
They have made all transfers Of
troops on schedule without serious dis
ruption Of regular traffic. They have
tremendously increased the supply Of
coal cars, the transit of grain. and met
the needs of the government at least as
promptly and effectually as if they
were under direct government author
ity."
Mr. Willard explained that last sum-
mer the railroads worked out with
Colonel Baker, of the quartermaster
corps OF the army, complete scheme
for war time railroad operations, and
that this scheme, since elaborated and
perfected. had worked so we'll that
during the last two months the rail-
roads, though handl lC vastly more
ton miles than ever afore. have been
constantly Transporting troops in con-
siderable numbers without in the least
interrupting regular traffic"
