would be replaced by iron rims
which would fit the rails of the rail-
road track. This task would be on
ly small one for the many automo-
bile factories. The question of oil
and of chaffeurs has come up, but
the engineers have answered them
with convincing figures. There is
stored in France at the present time
thirty times more petroleum than is
needed Immediately. Managing per-
sonnel for the machines could quickly
be CLEANED from their former opera
tors of the war.
1t is proposed to continue operating
the main roads with steam locomo-
tives, but all the minor roads and
branch lines could be operated with
camions. 1t is estimated that an ad
dition of 10000 camions to the draw
ing capacity of the present locomotive
power would supplement the trans
portation of France by an amount of
80 million tons a day.

CATS IN FASHION IN LONDON
Ladies of Mayfair Have Taken Them
Up as Pets.


BY Reciprocal News Service.
LONDON, December 29.-"To let
the cat out of the bag" must have
come from an old fad in England,
probably in Elizabeths time, and now
again coming on top in the cycle of
fashion.
For the ladies of Mayfair, Belgra-
via and other London contact points
of wealth and beauty, have taken up
cats. They have taken them up IN
bags; and the bags are heavily en-
broidered and so capacious that only
the head of the cat peeps out.
At fashionable tea a-place in Bond
street today, no fewer than six women
appeared with cats in bags; and at
least one of them lowered her saucer.
into which she had poured her small
apportionment of milk, to the level of
her lap, and then the cat had lap.
Even men have been seen carrying
cats in bags in the parks. While the
fashion is to hold the bagged cat in
the arm, one original woman had a
short handle to her bag, and pussy in
a lump swung at her knees, peeking
out over the top all the more wist-
fully.

gin April "a, 1920. Under the new

FRENCH TRANSPORTATION CRISIS

A solution of the transportation
crisis in France is being proposed by
two engineers who served in the Great
War. The present crisis has arisen
from a lack of locomotives, lack of
coal and from the bad quality of the
coal obtained. The solution which the
engineers propose bears no analogy to
those which have been offered hereto
fore.
They propose to utilize in place of
the locomotives. automobile camions,
which are now lying unused in hun
dreds of military fields. Oil would
be used for fuel. An automobile cam
ion can carry or pull "a charge of only
four tons on an ordinary roadbed, but
when put upon rails, Without an alb
normal use of gasoline, the machine
can pull forty-ton loadA The aver
age French freight car weighs only
about ten tons, and the passenger
ears are also light in weight.

waiter Of Gender.

The bell of Scottish church was
giving out very poor tone and a
committee was appointed to inquire
as to what was wrong and to report
on the best means of putting it right.
After an examination the members
were divided i'm their opinion and the
kirk officer, who was in attendance
with the keys. was asked his view.
"Fine. A. ken what's wrang wi the
bell" he remarked; sits she-yin"-
meaning that it was of the feminine
gender. Pressed to explain. he added:
'It's tongue owre lang-it's needin'
to be ciippit!" hnd this turned out
to be, really the fault. The tongue
had become loosened to the extent
of an inch or so, and was overlap

Conduct is the outward evidence of

They are usually the product of a

about the one thing that causes the

be patient and wait you will have the
power of changing many a problem

city and county"
Instead of filming persons guilty Of
minor attractions of the law and where
q Judge has 1t in his discretion to fine
or free the defendant, the jurists pro-
pose to give the accused chance to

the resultant-better Americanism and
better citizenship.

XMAS SALES OF
j. S. SECURITIES
WILL BE HEAVY
Government Asks Everyone Il
Give War Savings
Stamps as Gifts

Sales of War Savings Stamps ant
Treasury Savings Certificates to tn,
banks of the Twelfth Federal Reserve
District, in anticipation of heavy hol
1day demand of these securities fol
, Christmas presents, are greater thar
for any period during 1919, according
to reports of the San Francisco Fedora
Reserve Bank. AS early as November
20 the bank reported shipment or
chat date of 100000 worth of Treasury
Savings Certificates, to eighteen banks
of the district. This was the largesi
amount of these securities shipped or
any one day up to that date since the
close of the war.
Conservative estimates predict that
the demands of banks alone throughout
the district will reach the quarter OF
a million dollar mark for the holiday
trade in War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates. This is
not taking into consideration tremeI.
dous demands looked for from the post.
offices.
The Government is making an in.
! tensive appeal to the people of the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District to
give War Savings Stamps and Treas
ury Savings Certificates for Christmas
presents, not only because America
needs every cent she can get to finance
her war debt of twenty-six billions of
dollars, but also to stabilize prices as
much as possible by cutting down the
demand for luxuries. Most Christmas
presents fall under the head of lux
uries.
In letter to the banks of ths
Twelfth Federal Reserve District. on
the subject, Governor John U. Calkfns
of the San Francisco Federal Reserve
Bank said:
"The Christmas holidays are almost
upon u.s.. Everything points to ire
mendous outlay of money in the pur-
chase of holiday gifts, the greater por-
tion of which | think am safe in
saying will be luxuries. The present
situation demands not that more
money be spent in the purchase of lux
uries, but that we curtail as much as
possible, with the consequent benef-
cial contraction of credit
Therefore, appeal to you as a fell
low banker to do everything within
your power to stimulate the purchase
and giving of War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates as Christ
mas presents in place of the usual
needless end expensive gifts. 1t seems
to me that the responsibility of lead!
ing mems minds along the ways Of
thrift and simple living rests to great
extent upon the bankers of the country
and in asking you to push the sales
of Treasury securities during the
Christmas holidays, / am asking you
only to take advantage of an oppor-
tunity to meet this responsibility"
In addition, Christmas posters car
rying an appeal to give War Savings
STAMPS and Treasury Savings Certif-
Gates for Christmas presents will b
distributed throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District, and all banks
have been asked to include a similar
appeal in their advertising.
