For A Railroad
Wage Tribunak
Conference Called To Create An
Important Court.

Washington, February l6 President
Wilson's proposal to create joint com
mission to hear the.wage demands of the
urion railroad workers, if such is not
provided by law, will be, laid before the
heads of the rail corporations here Lite
this week. -:
The railroad executives, through T..
Dewitt Curler, president of the Associa-
ton of Railroad Executives, were asked
by Director General Hines today to send
committee for conference on the mat
ter. A definite date for the meeting was
not fixed, but Mr.. Hines plans to have
the conference to complete its work be-
fore the general convention OF the union
committee next Monday to consider the
Presidents settlement plan.
Officials were uncertain to light as to
the attitude which the rail heads would
! assume with respect to the voluntary iris
buni,l suggested by the President, who
told the union leaders, in his communi-
cation proffering terms of peace in the
wage controversy, that he would seek
the co-operatio, of the corporations which
will receive their properties from the
government march,. Public statements
of many of the rail Off :Als in recent
months have indciated an uncompromis-
ing attitude on the subject of increased
wages-uncompromising unless the COM
panies were allowed more revenue thro
higher transportation rates.
Union leaders were skeptical Of sue
ces' of the efforts, and argued that the
, Washington would not have the power
! to bind all roads to the program outlined
by the Director General Union leaders
asserted the corporation officials seldom
have stood together, some even refusing
to enter into any kind of general agree
ment except as to rate classifications.
The conference between Mr.. Hines ar
the committee from the Association of
Railroad Executives, therefore, will
bring to head an entirely new problem
aside from the differences on W ge ques-
lions.

how much did that last cold cost you?
A man may not always stop work when
he has a cold, but perhaps it would be
better If he did. 1t takes about ten
days to get completely rid of a cold M

be much shortened by taking Chamber

Personal Appearance.
Suggestions Made by Mary c.
Silk In The Maryland Farmer.

Much is said about cooking, babies
and pennies, and oftimes we forget
there are other things in life. The
most overlooked and neglected part
of our lives being our personal APP
pearance.
We can be both neat and clean
but, that granted; are we pleasing
to the eye? Grace and health are
closely related. If every kitchen had
a mirror there would be fewer ugly
women.
Our general pose az we stand--ls
the chest in, the shoulders sagged,
the stomach protruding? Let us pull
ourselves up taller. How much bet
ter we look. Suppose the shoulders
droop, then the chest and an addi-
tonal weight of say ten pounds fall
on the lungs; this weight is passed
on to the diaphram, and then in turn
to the stomach and intcstinrs. Re
suits: compressed intcstincs and con
stipati"n with its complications.
Let Us stand AS though we WIRE a
diamond breast pin that We wished
to show the world. Let Us not tip
I'D thu. chin, but let us raise the back
of tie skull high in line with the
spine. DO we not look better?
Now suppose we walk in front Of
the mirror. Do we lope, shuttle,
stride, or do we move with grace or
dignity?
e. Let one of MS next take ii seat in
front OF the mirror. Did she sit
nervousl. on the edge, or did she
seat herself with bumps way back So
that tn. spine might rest against the
chair lack? Some folks look like
dwarfS when they sit down. The
crowding of the intcstines in sittiI &
has much the same effect towards
constipation as does the incorrect
posture Of standing.
What do &e do with our legs and
feet once. we are seated? No person
could c..lrvince us that our feet and
ankles were SO homcly as can a mir
ror that gives a view of ourselves at
ease" Some people, otherwise mod.
est, cross their knees and then are
surprised that their daughters do the
same. Others show real genius in
twinn.g their legs around those of
the chair, and have notion that
their skirts hide it. Others throw
their ladies out of line 10y resting
their toes on the floor back under
the chair, the skirts resting inglor-
Ioll>ly on their leels. To place the
feet iln, IN the floor. to let the shoes
prutrudr little from under the skirt
is not I" he ranked in in portarce
with eliminating the fly or properly
feeding ihe baby, but, like the clean
tabi,,inilt or the tooth brush, il is
one Of The refncments of civilization
irrespective of its hearing ON health.
1t is the duty of every woman to
look as well as she can. She may
not ir' I"autiful or even good looking
but she can look we'll groomed. Ev-
cry one has charm, it may be her
expression, her smile, her eyes, her
hair, pr rhaps her figure. it is rid
iculouS for woman TO think that
because she has a growing family she
need pay no attention to appearance,
Children are always proud of a moth

KEEL CANAL IS
 0VERRUN WITH
 FOREIGN SHIPS

HAMBURG, Sept. 22 (by Associ- ated Press).-In one day last week 22 steamers passed Cuxhaven on the way to Hamburg or to enter the Kiel Can ships to come into the Elbe :n "A hours since the early days of the war, and these ships were hailed with in- tense satisfaction here as a sign of better times. Five years ago it was a dull day when only a score of yes sells arrived. The Hamburg Ameri- can line alone usually had from 25 to 30 big ships in port and the harbor was so crowded with shipping that acute
 In those days few flags other than those of the German companies were seen in the harbor. Today Hamburg is literally under foreign colors. Ship ping companies of all the principal na- tions have set up offices here md the formerly powerful German lines, hay ing lost their ships, are acting now only as agents. American, British, Japanese, French, Spanish, Dutch and Brazilian companies display their advertisements in the shipping papers. Advertisements of German concerns are so few that one must search for them.
 There is some life again in the har- | Dor but the ships are nearly all foreign and one passes long rows of splen- didly equipped docks and warehouses, once hive of industry, but now emp ty and still. And in the absence of the many ships that used to make Hamburg a thriving commercial cen ter, trade has died away and the great market places on the waterfront are practically deserted. Before the war Hamburg had become one of Europe's chief coffee markets. Now only a few sacks of that staple find their way here
 While Hamburg was losing it's glory as a port, death was taking a heavy toll of the so-called royal heads" of the big German-American companies, the Hamburg American line and the brothers Adolph and Edward Woer- mann, who guided the affairs of the great Woermann Indian and African lines. Africa House." the scene of their labors, was the nerve center of Germany's vast colonial trade. It stands today silent memorial of Ger man imperialism
 l It is realized that Hamburg faces long uphill struggle to gain it's pre- war prestige. A well-known banker told the correspondent he believed Hamburg had irretrievably lost it's financial power and would never again enjoy the independent position it had in the past.
 Germany" he said lis more close ly united today than ever before. 'This means that Hamburg must work not only for itself but for all Ger many as we'll. Until the country as a whole begins to get back on it's feet, Hamburg's progress toward recovery will be slow.
 At the monument, unemployment is a grave problem there. Between 30,- 900 and 35,000 workers are unemployed and Hamburg is spending more than 100000 marks a week in donations to them. Labor here is generally dis contented and strikes are frequent
