RETURN OF ROADS
TO OWNERS ASKED
R. R. and Utility Chiefs Adopt
Resolution Urging Change
by End of Present Year.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct, IRE
turn of the railroads to private owner
ship not later than Dec. 10, 1919, is
urged in a resolution adopted by the
national association of railway and utili-
ties commissioners at the closing SEES
sion Of its annual convention here yes
terday afternoon. The resolution states,
however, that the transition should be
made with as little disturbance as pos
sible and recommends that the existing
interstate and intrastate rates, passen-
ger and freight, initiated by the
Encouragement, be continued in force
for a period not beyond July /, 1921.
The association proposed several pfn-
ciples for consideration by congress in
connection with remedial railroad legis-
lation now pending, These principles in
clude:
That provision be made for prompt
merger of all carriers lines into a uni
fled system in times Of stress or emer-
gency, and the merger, within proper
limits, of the lines and facilities, to such
an extent as may be necessary in the
public interest to meet the reasonable
demands of the country domestic and
foreign commerce.
That railroad construction be limited
to the necessities and convenience of
the public.
That securities of Interstate roads be
under the control ofthe government.
1nat deNelOpment or Inland water
ways and coordination of rail and
water transportation systems be en-
couraged.
That a transportation board be
created to study rail, water and high
way transportation conditions, the func-
ton of which would be wholly advisory
and the findings of which would be re-
ported to the interstate commerce COM
mission.
That federal incorporation of railroads
should not be required or permitted.
That in view of the inherent social
and practical objections TO the estab-
lishment of q definite guaranteed re-
such provision should not be included
In the laws,
With respect to wage controversies
the association went on record as favor
ing the development of some plan for
the final disposition of such disputes.
The resolution stated the associations
belief that the responsible ity of capital
and labor was equal and that rates
should be established on a basis which
would permit payment of Just wages to
employees. Public service, it was de-
clared, should not be jeopardized by
strikes and %lockouts.
A resolution offered by Paul p,
Haynes, of the Indiana public service
commission, seeking to obligate the
commissioners of the various states to
base all utility valuations on a prudent
investment instead of the cost Of re-
production theory, vas made a special
order of business for the next session
which will be held in Washington. ID. c.,
Nov. 9. 1920.

There is probably nobody in this world who hasn't at some period
in his career desired to own a bungalow. A bungalow is a long, low.
rakish-1ooking house with a porch in front and an ash can behind. You
get into it by going on your hands and knees and you crawl out back
ward, for there generally isn't room inside to turn around without up
setting two or three dollars worth of furniture. The roof Is so close
to the floor that when you get into a bungalow you feel like the porcine
portion of a ham sandwich.
One way to build a bungalow is to follow the advice of the maya
zines. According to them, you can build a bungalow for any price from
$45O up to 100000, and you can go a little higher than the last.

IMPROVED HOUSING CONDITIONS
IN WASHINGTON.

Washington, D. c., June 19.-The
congestion in Washington, d. c., which
resulted from the influx of war work
ers, has now been considerably rev
ed, according TO a statement of the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion. Fully 10000 persons have left
Washington since the signing of the
armistice, and a gradual further reduc-
ton will cause living conditions in the
Capital City to continue to improve.
The Commission states that it is in
formed by the Washington office of
the Homes Registration Service of the
Department of Labor that it is in a po-
sition to provide rooming and boarding
accommodations for all who apply for
them. The Homes Registration Ser
vice constantly maintains a list of
available rooms in private houses.
Where two persons share a room, the
room with board, that is, the two prin-
cipal meals of the day, may be had
for $40 or $42.50 a month for each
person. In addition, the Government
conducts attractive residence halls in
which about 1000 women are accom-
modated. A separate oom with board
in the Government residence halls
costs $45 a month. Every comfort and
convenience is provided.
Notwithstanding reductions in some
branches of the service, the force in
Washington is so large that hundreds
of vacancies in permanent positions
are constantly occurring. Stenogra-
piers, typists. and bookkeepers espec-
tally are in demand. Full information
and application blanks may be obtain
ed from the secretary of the local
board of civil-service examiners at the
post office or customhouse in any city.

so just as Dashaway Davis and his

~endeavors to run away and Belle and
Jack pursue him, the Hindu Tiger
Worshipers appear on horseback and
restrain Jack and Belle from continu-
ing their chase of Tiger Face, although
they do not harm the two. AS Tiger
Face leaves he calls back that they
can have the pact of Three" when
they return the Tiger idol to him. But
they do not have the little image, nor
have they any idea who, of the many
persons searching for the valuable to-
ken, has it just then.
Tiger Face returns to the Temple
and tells Salonga of the promise he
has made to Jack and Belle. Then
they place the pact of Three in the
cage with the tiger for safe keeping.
By this time Hilda, the maid, who all
along has been serving the Hindus and
! Shotwell, is revealed in her true colors
by Peter Strong, who tells Belle that
she sold the Pact of Three" to Ran
