that he intends to return the rail-
roads to private operation at the end

bers apparently centered.

Democratic Leader Martin of the Sem
ate declined to comment
Other republican leaders, however,
declared that legislation at this ses-
sion for return of the railroads vir-
tually was assured. Regarding the
prohibition recommends ton. predic-
lions were general that the repeal
legislation requested would not be
enacted, although some prohibition
advocates favored the Presidents
plan. fearing the wartime act can.
not be enforced properly, and that
the result would be prejudicial
against the permanent prohibition act

Expected to Relieve
Shortage

Washington, Oct. %. - Concur
renee of producers representing 80
per cent. of the beet sugar output
in the country has been received by
Attorney General Palmer in reply
to his suggestion that ten cents ii
pound to wholesalers was a fair
price for the new crop.
This is an increase of one cent
over the old price. With the price
question thus settled, officials eX-
pect that great quantities of/sugar
withheld from the markets until the
situation became stabilized now Will
be released to relieve the shortage
Mr.. Palmer will confer in Boston

containing no licensing provision.
At his request the board will meet

POPE URGES LEAGUE OF
WOMEN TO FIGHT THE
"TNDECENCY OF FASHION,

, of youth and the betterment of the
family schools.
"The Catholic woman" said the
Pcntiff, "besides feeling it her duty to
be virtuous. must feel it her duty to
appear such in the fashion of ner
clothes, repudiating those eXaggera-
tions of fashion which show the cor
ruption of those who designed them
and bringing an evil contribution to
the general corruption of manners
fashions contrary to that modesty
which should be the fairest ornament
of the Christian woman"
The Pontiff strongly urged the for
nation of a league of Catholic women
to fight what he termed the indecency
of fashion, not only in their own
clothing but also of that of persons in
families who approach them.
