Vampire Girls
Worse Than Flu
Wave. She Says

II declare the flu is quiet
harmless disease compared with the
epidemic of vampires; heaven knows
where it's going to end" declares
Mrs. Josephine Lawrence, of the Chi
cago Bureau of Social Service, who
has just added a vampire department
to her work of inquiry into broken
homes.
II have received hundreds = yes
thousands of letters from California,
Virginia, Montana, Utah - heaven
knows where not-asking me to eaten
the vamps-by correspondence. II
necessary.
"A woman 60 years old, whose hus-
band, II, had been lured by vamp
came to me with tears in her dear
old eyes. This is her story:
We had been married forty
years, and. he's been faithful. But
the Vamps got him and my poor old
heart is broken. A vamp has him
lured and 1 can't get him to pay any
attention to me.
81 sat up all night watching him
and his conscience sleep. He wasn't
troubled at all. He has his vamp
but why, l have nothing! I'm OLD
and not foolish, but / love my hus-
band. I'm almost insane with worry.
Pm going to catch that vamp if
it's the last thing L do" said Mrs
Lawrence. THE old fool! The vamr
herself is more than 40"
She had her secretary carry out a
big writ basket full of one days re-
quests to catch he and she vamps.

M'ADOO URGES RAIL GRASP

railroads cannot be controlled by the
government for a longer period than
twenty-one months after the return
of peace. Within a tWenty-one
months period no substantial devel-
opment Of existing waterways can be
made nor can their operation in so
brief a period afford any adequate
test of their values.
upon the return of the railroads
to private ownership, which must be
made within the twenty-one months
period, as the present law provides,
the cut-throat competition of the
railroads under private control with
the partially developed waterways
will effectively destroy water trans
portation as heretofore and the peo-
pies investment in these facilities
will continue to be Of little, if any,
value.
81 have urged the congress to ex-
tend the period Of federal control of
the railroads for five years because
that will give us time to develop
some of the most important existing
water routes and coordinate them
with the railroads and prove their
worth as a part of great American
transportation system.
81 also feel that the government
should control the railroads and the
inland waterways for a period of
five years so that they may in turn
be co-ordinated with our govern
ment merchant marine which has
been built at a cost Of more than
two billion dollars and which under
existing law the government controls
for a five-year period.
