Railroad Construction
Shows Enormous Increase

Between 1890 and the end of 1917
there were constructed in this country
about 100000 miles of steam rail-
roads. bringing the total TO 260 900
miles This was an increase of about
65 per cent. IN 81 years and an aver
age of a little less than 1000 miles
per year. During the past two years.
while the Government has had con-
troll OF the roads, there has been no
new construction to speak of. Nor
Is there likely to he any railroad
building of consequence in the near
future unless a policy is adopted by
the Government which will encour-
age the Investment of new capital in
the transportation business. AS long
as investors are worrying how to get
their capital out of railroad stocks in
which it has long been tied up they
will not be keen to put more capital
in unless the right kind of encour-
agement is offered. In the meantime
the country's traffic has been wonder
fully expanded by the war and adj
ditional transportation facilities will
be greatly needed" - Philadelphia

News of Interest to
Military Men
MEN

Organization of New Guard
and American Legion
Aided by Veterans

This column will be given over
on Wednesday and Saturday to
news of the various military socie-
ties and organizations of this COM
munity. Regular Army, National
Guard. Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, American Legion, Veterans of
Foreign Wars and Spanish -Ameri-
can War Veterans are going to fur
nish interesting items of local mill
tary news. In other words the mill
tary news of Harrisburg and vicin-
ity will be "mobilzed" in this COL
umn twice a week for parade"
The military column will give ali
the "buddies" a chance to get ac-
quainted with each other.
There has never been n time when
local military organizations ana So
cleties are as active as they are to-
day. The new Pennsylvania Ma
tionat Guard is being reorganiZed
by live wide-awake young Ameri-
cans, full of pep and red blood"
From the splendid start that has
been made in the reconstruction of
the Governors Troop and the
Eighth Infantry everything points
to the fact that these organizations
will he on an even higher plane of
efficiency than ever. They will he
organizations of which the COM
munity may he justly proud. The
American Legion is Il new force in
this country. Its members Continu-
ally preaching 100 per cent. Ameri-
canism and taking an active part in
all movements .for civic. state and
national heterment are living lives
Just as unselfishly and nobly dur
ing peace as in war. The Veterans
of Foreign Wars and other military
orga nizationS are putting forth the
same fine platforms and are work
ing for the same find ends as the
Legion.
Not only in PRINCIPLES and organ
lied work do the military organiZa-
tions have much in common but
they also believe in good. whole
some social activity. There are
planned for this winter many en-
smokers and dances.
If the success of these entertain
ments may be measured by the one
given in the Chestnut Street Audi
torium on December by the Amer
ican Legion there will be many
good times in store for the service
men of Harrisburg.
II is believed that the military
column of the Telegraph will he q
decided success in promoting the
interests of the commune
ity. 4 unity of thought and purpose
will make the Wednesday and sat
urday 'parades'' a success.

Indoor Heat Wrinkles

AS the skin tends to expand in a
warm atmosphere, cheeks and chin

astringent lotion should he used by

ounce of pure powdered saXo1ite -
one-half pint OF witch hazel. Battle
the face in this dai.y-parlict..r,y y
before receiving guests, or before
going out for theater, dance or other
social affair.
The lotion, which of course is per-
fectly harmless. gives almost imme-
diate results, erasiny wrinkles and
smoothing out the flabby skin most
remarkably. The face is wonderfully
refreshed and rejuvenated in appear
ance. BE sure to ask the druggist
for the powdered 'saxolite.

ASK DISSOLUTION
OF MONOPOLIH
Liberals Score Political Par
ties Then Take Step Designed
to Eradicate Poverty

ST. Louis, Dec. dissolution of
monopolies is the only solution OF
the economic and industrial prob
lens facing the nation, according TO
the report of the program COM
mittee, submitted to-day to the MAJ
tional Conference of Liberals in ses-
sion here.
The committee said its report was
designed to eradicate poverty ana
squalidness."
The two principal political parties
are arraigned and while it was said
the conference was not called to
form u new political party. the re-
port declares that the growing con-
troll of basic RESOURCES and industries
by the trusts has Great ed the con-
viction that no relief can be secured
except by the formation of new
party"
There is widespread feeling"
the report continues, that there is
no real difference between the old
parties; that both are controlled by
financial interests which constitute
an invisible government, unrepresen-
tative of the people, and for this
reason an effective program in the
public interest will not be formulated
by either of them ut the coming ma
tional convention"
The report especially assails the
alleged steel, beef, oil, milling and
coal trusts, and asserts that by
monopoliZing patents and the rail-
roads, the organizations have pre-
cluded all others from competing
with them.
Under public ownership of rail-
roads this particular alleged mono
poly would be broken and freight
cars would be distributed equally
among all industries, the report says,
and to break up the alleged patent
monopoly it was suggested that all
pat ents be open to use, by anybody
by payment to the owner of Il roy
atty to be fixed by the government.
AS an auxiliary means of dissolv-
ing these alleged trusts, the report
suggests public ownership of all pub
lie utilities and food storehouses and
demands that no land. including
national resources, be held out of
use for speculation or to aid mono
poly"
A more equitable distribution OF
wealth among those who contribute
to its production is demanded, but
the report urges that this be brought
about in an orderly manner and not
by the obstructive process of revo-
luton"
Those on the program committee
included: Amos Pinchot and Allen
McCurdy, of New York; George l..
Record, of Trenton, tax commits
sioner of New Jersey, and ]. II. \.
