OPPOSED TWO-YEAR LIMIT
Chairman Sims vigorously opposed the
two years limitation as adopted, declar-
ing that it would affect the valuation Of
railroad securities. Representative Mon
tague insisted that it least two years
would be required for the railroad in
terests to adjust themselves after the
war. Those voting for the two-year

The Senate committee left unchanged
the original provision in the bill fixing
the rate of compensation on the basis OF
the annual railway operating income for
the three years ending on June 30, 1917,
and the House committee also is expected
to agree to this provision which was
suggested by the President
Amendments forbidding increased COM
pensation to roads based on their earn
ings or surplus accrued during the period
Of government control and put into the
property were accepted.
CANAL SECTION AMENDED
The section authorizing the President
to purchase and construct canals was
amended SO as to permit only OF their
utilization.
The section providing for an appropria-
ton of $4,000, 1000 to be used as a revolv-
ing fund from which to pay any defi-
ciences that may result or to provide for
additional facilities was retained by the
Senate committee. The fund would pro-
vide the government with working capital
for the operations of the roads.
In providing for the termination Of gov
eminent control is months after the war,
the Senate committee further amended
the bill so as to authorize the President,
IL in his opinion necessity for further
control should terminate, to relinquish
supervision over all roads before that
time. Discretionary power to determine
up to July 1, 1918, which are necessary
in the government operation plan, also is
placed in the President, but after that
time he could not exclude from govern
ment control any road without its con-
sent.
The amendment authorizing the Presi-
dent to initiate rates permits appeal
either by the carrier or shipper to the
Interstate commerce commission, which
is to investigate and determine their
fairness. This section and the one fixing
the time of government control were
bitterly debated in the committee and.

NORWICH PASSES HALFWAY POINT

Tn ten more working days of the Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan drive Norwich can give it's individual answer to the tricky peace winnings of the Huns by subscribing at least $11G,260 per day. Nothing short of that will save the Rose of New Eng land from the reproach of having failed to meet it's quota of s2 260 900 and failing to give as the Norwich boys are fighting over thereto the utmost.
 This is the business statement to date on the Norwich Liberty Loan:
 Quota to be raised. .. $226o 900
 Raised in g days.... 1,157, 400
 To be raised in 10 days, $1,102 500
 Norwich is past the half way point, Chairman William H. Allen was able to report Tuesday night, but there must be no stacking in the purpose of the people to put Norwich over the top. Thousands more of the citizens of Norwich must begin to save their money and lend it to the government in the form of subscriptions to the Fighting Fourth Liberty loan. So far the total number of subscribers has been 3,0l6. The committee has set out to have at least 10000 sub scriptions here, which is about TOO per day for the ten days that are left. TherS were 254 subscriptions on Tues day for $S5,200. It is therefore evil dent that there are hundreds more people each day who should be counted in on the loan if Norwich is to support the ecommittee's intention at least to equal the number of sub scribers to the third Liberty Loan

TWO NEW SHADES IN FURS
 FASHIONABLE THIS SEAso

As noted yesterday, the leading furs for sets this season are mole, lynx and Alaska sable.
 The most fashionable shades are taupe and the tint called Lucille, which is a soft brown. In cut, two styles are modish, the stole and the open pelt, the latter of course including the head, paws and tail
 The popularity of lynx is pronounced this fall the best examples of this pelt and of fox coming in the smoke shades, which are on the taupe hue. Silver lynx is also 8 fashionable fur, new, and difficult to get. Black lynx and Alaskan sable are developed in some swagger sets Black wolf is also strong in popularity. Hudson seal for scarfs and muffs makes a big bid for favor
 That soft, dainty fur, chinchilla, is but rarely seen, the South American skins being so rare and so high priced as to make this fur practically off the market
 Time was when furs were not donned until the first snow would fly Now, however, the fur season is year round one, the vogue for summer furS having helped toward this change in feminine fancy. This has been great season for summer furs, white angora and Thibet especially having sold even in midsummer for wear in mo- toring, at the shore or in the noun tains. Many far-seeing women have bought winter furs for summer wear, thus get ting double service out of the hand some. neckpieces.
 The best Informed dealers predict that the day of the red fox has waned and that from now on the darker shades of peits-those on the taupe tint-are to have the call. All muffs of the newest cut are round. and the really stunning among the comfy and beautiful ones have the head and brush of the animal as a smart finish.
 A military suggestion is developed in the design christened the "canteen huff" which is a round shape, dropped down in the center. A handsome taupe huff in this shape sells at from $50 to $50.
 As to the cost of scarf sets in the fashionable wolf fox and some lynx the price tag shows marks ranging from $35 to s65.
 It is a curious fact this year that women who shop for fine woolen ma terials for suits discover that the price of coat in such fabric is. nearly that of a good fur coat So many of the l materials come in mixtures as re- uuired by government regulations. that when one chances on really, truly wooden goods they are priced at g figure to stagger the shopper.
