uary 5, 1919, aged 81 years, 10 months
and IA days. She was a member of
Zion M. e. church and strong in the
faith of a Savior's love, saying the
only thing that caused her to wish to
remain. longer was to be with kller
children and friends, and more espe-
csssfsy Ac4fe grandson VINO Is now In
France. She was not person to form
large numbers of acquaintances and
friends, but those whom she did she
held very dear. Mrs. Fouts being
very fond of reading and especially
the Bible and Christian Advocate,
some months ago she found on the
cover of the Christian Advocate a
motto written by DR.. Frank Crane, en-
titled Mother" which she laid away
saying to the son with whom she made
her home, 'I am going to keep it as
it so identically represents me and
you" Following is the poem:
"She is my mother said the young
man, but call her my baby. She is
eighty. years old. Old people are very
much like babies, and we ought to
love them, for of such is the Kingdom

up things. When 1 was young and
helpless she took care of me, now 1
am taking care of her. l am paying
my debt. She never left me alone
when 1 was an infant; now I do not
leave her alone. She was patient with
me then; now 1 am patient with her;
she fed me; now l feed her. l clOthe
young life for me, am glad of every
and keep her. She sacrificed her
chance have to sacrifice for her. She
loved me when l was ignorant, awk-
ward, needing constant care, and all
because l was hers; born of her body
and part of her soul; now every fee
bleness and trait of childhood in her
endears her to me, for no other rea-
son except she is my Mother. By so
much as she is a tax on my time, at
tention and money, I love her. She
shall not triumph over me in the day
of judgment, for my tenderness shall
equal hers. She watched with me until
/ grew up; I shall watch with her un-
til she steps into Heaven"
She is the last of family Of twelve
children and was the daughter of Gil
liam and Susan Regan. She was mar
ried to Nicholas Fouts January %,
1860. To this union was born two
children, John Wesley and David
Webster Fouts She leaves two sons,
their wives and eleven grandchildren
to mourn their loss, but their loss is
her eternal gain.

T. Washington, Jan. 15.-The policies

! director general Of railroads, to sue
ceed William G. McAdoo, will be ad
vocation of five-year continuation Oh
government control or early relin
enlistment of the roads to private
centrol unless Congress promptly en-
acts remedial legislation.
Mr.. McAdoo's policies are my poll
e1es and / intend to carry them out
. through the existing railroad organi-
szation," he. telegraphed today. to reg
fona1 directors, Immediately after an
-rol1ncenert of his appointment which
was made by President Wilson by ca
bic and on recommendation of Mr..
McAdoo. The new director general
S :, declared for a square deal for
labor fair treatment of railway own
ers and patrons and closer under
standing between the public and the
government on railroad questions.
f Before the senate interstate. com
merce committee, which is conduct
ing hearings on railroaO legislation
Mr. Hines, probably next week, will
make an effort to show the govern
ment's difficulties in supervising the
railways with the control period linn
tied to 81 months. AS assistant di-
rector general he advised Mr.. McAdoo
during the formulation of the recon-
Lnendation for fve-year extension of
federal management. He was called
in as Mr.. McAdoo's principal assistant
Immediately after the, government
took charge Of the railways in the
final days of 1917.
Mr.. Hines first official act today
was to delegate the railroad admins
tration's case in the New York ma
nne Workers' strike to the war labor
board for settlement. IN a statement
she pledged himself to "a square deal
for labor with not only ungrudging
out sincere and cordial recognition
OF it's partnership in the railroad en-
terprise.' -
The idea of combining the several
hundred private lines into few fed
eral concerns has been considered by
Mr.. Hines but he said the questions
relating to that subject were so nu-
merous and perplexing that it was
confusing to- try even to list, them.
He believes, however, that it will he
an advantage to have the railroad
pFoblem discussed during the next
campaign, basing this on
TIE feeling that sentiment of tAesAa-,
tion is not sufficiently crystal1ized to
permit Congress to enact legislation
that would be satisfa ctory.
The director general said he fa-
vored discussion and testing of fed
eral control over period that would
give needed information. to the coun-
try, after which Congress would be
able to act with greater safety. While
he advocated immediate return of the
railroads to their owners if the ex-
tension is not granted, he pointed to
the possible labor difficulties and
financial problems of the roads as
against this plan.
