RAIL CONTROL BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
President Gets Rate-Making
PoWer-To Retain Roads
Two Years After War.
NOW GOES TO CONFERENCE

The administration railroad COntrOI
bill was passed by the House yester-
day, S37 to 6. with two democrats and
four republicans voting against it.
They were: Democrats. Thomas of Ken
lucky and Gordon of Ohio; republicans,
Chandler of Oklahoma, Dennison of IL
linois, Haugen of Iowa and Ramseyer
of Iowa.
The bill now goes to conference In
the late hours of debate the House re-
versed action taken earlier in the day
and voted. 211 to 165. to give the Presi-
dent the rate-making power. An amend
ment to make the period of government
operation after the war one year in
stead of two was also reversed when
the bill came out of the committee of
the whole and was voted upon in the
House.
To Confer Over Differences.
The Senate previously had passed the
bill. which now goes to conference for
settlement of differences between the
two houses. The House bill provides
for the return of the roads to their
owners two years after the war ends.
instead of in eighteen months, as the
Senate draft proposes. and the House
measure vests final rate-fxing author
ity in the President, while the Senate
would leave this power in the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
These two sections of the bill caused
spirited fights in the House yesterday.
Opponents of these features won mo-
mentary victories when the bill was
but on final vote proponents marshaled
their forces, mostly on the democratic
side. and succeeded in putting through
the bill with these features intact
as framed by the committee.
Strength Shown in Test Vote.
An amendment by Representative
Sweet of Iowa, giving the rate-making
power to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. was adopted in committee
of the whole, 1874 to 157. This showed
almost the full strength for the amend
ment, as when the vote was taken on
211.
In the committee of the whole an
amendment by Representative Esch of
Wisconsin to limit tenure after the war
like the Sweet amendment, it was
thrown out on final passage, EOS to 166.
Both Senate and House leaders be-
lieve the conferees will be able to reach
d speedy agreement on the disputed
section. Administration officials have
urged prompt action on this and the
war corporation bill, so the way may
be cleared for the third liberty loan,
and it was expected efforts for quick
action would not cease until final pas
sage in both houses.
Senate's Compensation Plans.
The Senate bill definitely provides
that the basis of compensation shall be
just return on the average net oper-
ating income for the three-year period
ending June 80, 1917, but the House
bill is a little more elastic.
The House adopted an amendment
which would give the President dis
cretionary power to take into consider
alton money spent for improvements by
the roads between June 80 and Decem-
Der %, 1917, the day they were taken
over.
The Senate defeated an amendment
specifically requiring that such expendi-
ture should be included. Many House
members view their amendment as a
compromise, and think it will be adopt
ed by the conferees

TRY GRANDMOTHER OLD FAV-
ORiTE RECIPE OF SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to se.
this mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at ai-y
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle of this time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the grcy
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
