when the meeting began.
The Russian situation, particularly in
relation to the political upheaval in Hun
gary, was considered.
During the day the Hungarian revolt
and it's effect in bringing bolshevism into

improvements, Tho
Cash is Short; Means
Employment.

Pittsburgh, March 26.-Dispite the fl
nancial predicament of the railroads, the
railroad administration plans to carry
out as much of its Improvement program
as possible. TO keep labor employed ana
roads in repair w. d. Hines, director
general of railroads, declared in an adj
dress, tonight. He asked for a more ade-
guate understanding on the part of The
public of problems facing the railroads
during the war and in the immediate fu-
ture. and presented suggestions for op-
Grating roads privately under public r"g
uation as permanent solution of the
problem. He emphasized that the ability
of the railroad administration to finance
itself in spite of the failure of its ap-
preparation does not mean that 1t Will
not need the appropriation as soon as
congress meets again.
Roads to Have Word on Work.
Referring to the Improvement pro-
gram. Mr.. Hines said:
Unfortunately, the impression has
gone out that the railroad administration
has decided to cut off all Improvement
work, including additions and betterments
and maintenance. This is not a fact.
What has happened is that we are tax
ing steps to give the railroad corpora
tions full opportunity to determine
whether they should assent to the work
which they must finance"
Proposing eventual private operation
with government supervision, Mr. Hines
said:
my own view is that moderate
guaranty on capital should be prescrib-
ed tby the government) so as to give a
reasonable assurance to capital, and that
there should be right to IL participa-
ton in any profits made in excess of
that guaranty, so as to furnish the need
ed stimulus to private initiative.
United States Would Regulate.
81 further believe the government
should be strongly represented on the
boards of directors and that these gov
ernment directors should constitute an
important part of the regulating body
which prescribes the rates.
II do not believe these fundamental
changes can be successfully carried thru,
except by the construction of compara-
lively few great railroad corporations
each of which will so combine the pros
porous and unprosperous roads as to
present fair average result"
Reviewing government operation of
railroads during the war, Mr.. Hines said
IL was iiIJoI taht that tic puUuC uIlucT
stand the accomplishment of three great
results. First. conflict of priorities was
eliminated and unification of control pre-
vented serious congestion. Second, thru
government control, railroad labor was
given wage increases and improved
working conditions. Third. the govern
ment provided for adequate financing of
the roads. which otherwise would have
been almost impossible.

there is still a fight for suffrage in
many states and the federal amendment
unratlfied.
The object of the new organization.
which is in the form of two houses, one
composed Of delegates from voting states
and the other from non-voting states, is
to secure protection in their right to
vote to the women citizens Of the United
States by appropriated national and
state legislation and to increase the ef-
fectiveness of women's votes in effecting
better government.
Delegates from the non-voting states
shall compose the house of delegates
and those from suffrage states the house
Of voters. Matters affecting legislation
in full suffrage states shall be restricted
to the house Of voters.

Regrets She Did Not Hear of
TanIae. Sooner.
Gains Fifteen Pounds and Over
comes Trouble.

@Since I began taking Tanlac have
gained fifteen pounds and it has been
many years since I felt as well as 1
do now" was the statement made by
Mrs. lola Copeland, who lives at 23lS
Waldron Ave, Kansas City, Mo, in
talking to the Tanlac representative
the other day.
MY only regret is that didn't hear
Of Tanlac two years ago." continued
Mrs. Copeland, for it was then that
my stomach began to trouble me. 1
had very little appetite and it seemed
that no matter what l ate 1t would
sour on my stomach and cause gas to
form so bad that often I had fainting
spells. 1 was badly constipated and
at times I got SO awful dizzy that 1
would almost fall before I could catch
hold of something to balance myself.
I got so weak and felt so tired-out
all the time that was not able to
take care of my children and 1 had to
give up doing my housework entirely.
Il spent hundreds and hundreds of
dollars and tried every medicine
ever heard of but it seemed that 1 was
never going to get anything that would
do me any good. Finally I started
reading about TanIac in the paper and
when my husband suggested it I de-
cided to give it a trial And now
am certainly glad I did for I am able
to eat just anything I want without
ever having the least trouble with my
stomach or with gas forming. 1 am
no longer constipated and have about
forgotten that 1 ever had a fainting
spell or dizzy spell As L told you, l
have gained fifteen pounds and can do
all my housework and take care of my
children all by myself. I feel so
thankful for what Tanlac has done
for me that I want you to publish this
statement of mine so that women who
are troubled like 1 was will know that
Tanlac is ju the thing they need"
