railroad securities arising from feder-
al control of S862,000,O0 Many of
these loans were made to weaker
roads to prevent receiverships during
federal control
Loss on Liberty Bonds.
"'No one will contend that the gov
eminent will realize the full amount
invested. If all the securities owned
by the government, including invest
ment in Liberty and Victorv bonds
sold on the market for cash, it is
quite probable that the loss to the
government in these transactions
alone would total more than $780,
100000 on a total investment of more
than 1906, 100000 including the in
vestment in inland waterways.
Assuming that the railroad securi-
ties owned by the government would
shrink $25, 100000 by the present
conversion thereof into cash the total
loss to the government chargeable to
federal control and operation of rail
roads amounts to $1,375, 100000,
leaving out of consideration any ques-
ton of under-maintenance."
Besides the fund for the railroad
administration the committee recon-
mended applications aggregating 3d.
100000 for miscellaneous govern
ment services, the principal one be-
ing $7,000,000 additional for caring
for war disabled soldiers and sailors
by the war risk insurance bureau.

SHAVE" SAID SHE,
GETTING into CHAIR
PATRONS OF A SAVANNAH ION
Socialist ARE TREATED
TO UNUSUAL SIGHT.

SAVANNAH.-A shock the size
of an Albermarle Pippin in May
when the buds begin to bloom ana
the robins to mate was thrown at
twenty-five Savannah men this morn
ing at II o'clock when Miss Celeste
ITremonte. 25, debonair and pretty,
strolled with nonchalance into
downtown barber shop and just as
'nonchalantly climbed into the char
presided over by the proprietor and
ordered 'em cut off. When the vlca-
rious task of extracting minute whls-
kers from the pretty dimpling skin
had been completed Miss Tremontee
demanded a massage, a hair tonic and
a shampoo.
All eight chairs were full-when
Miss Tremonte walked in. All
eight chairs were full when Miss Ire
monte walked out. And the same
occupants sat staring. The BARRIERS
had ceased to work, excepting the
boss, whose usually cherry and placid
countenance was overspread with the
tinge of a deep blush, which mounted
slowly to his forehead and invaded
the roots of his hair.
Calls it Common.
Before going out> Miss Tremonte
addressed the manager: "Sir, this
may seem a trifle unusual to you. but
nevertheless, in ten years the same
performance won't be so very
strange. Where l come from ladies
although not making it a daily habit
of visiting barber shops do not feel
the slightest compunction in going in
to one when their hirsute adornments
become beyond a rational control"
The lady was clad in a silk crea-
ton that became her elegantly. Atop
her charming head sat a little hat of
Partisan persuasion, of classification
unknown to the reporter. Little
brown pumps, polished to perfection,
augmented the attractive appearance
of the tiny feet, which tinkled on
the marble floor of the shop like
liqueur glasses in a New Orleans
bar.
"Whiskers" Invisible.
The hirsute growth on her face
was scarcely visible And otherwise
it would have required a very intel
ligent individual to point to any part
of her which needed at the moment
tonsorial attention. However, she
walked in and got it.
The reported met her at the door.
He addressed her: MAY Ter have-er
the pleasure of saying ? fey words
to you, Miss er-erer."
''Tremonte," said the lady,
"shoot."
The reporter CROPPED a while be-
fore he got his voice. Then he ask
ed: "Do l understand, Miss Ire
monte, that you just got shave in
there? ?" He pointed inside the guild
ed emporium.
yes" observed the lady, zone
wouldn't hurt you"
They didn't call the marines, but
they PACED an ambulance to carry
the reporter back to the Office.

RAIL CONTROL COST
u. S. A HUGE sum
TOTAL LOSS WILL BE CLOSE TO
$1,375, 100000. HINES ASKS
FOR MORE MONEY.

WASHINGTON.-Total loss to the
government growing out of the fed
eral control of the railroads was es-
timated by the house appropriations
committee at more than $1,129,000,-
600 This includes 1925, 100000 es-
tlmated as guarantees to the rail
roads under the terms of the trans
portation act.
The actual loss during the twenty
six months of active government
control was placed at 1904, 100000.
government had loaned S862,000,-
600 to the railroads and said that
since much of this went to weaker
lines to prevent receivership during
federal operation all of this sum
probably would not be recovered.
The committee was reporting on
the emergency deficiency appropria-
ton measure in which 100000, 900
was included for the railroad admin
istration.
Director General Hines has asked
for $420,000,000 to wind up the adj
ministration affairs, but the commit
tee put the total $330,000,000 and
recommended that the treasury be in
structed to purchase S90,000,000
worth of Liberty bonds held by the
railroad administration, thus making
available the additional amount for
winding up the administration af-
fairs.
Cost to u. S. Discussed.
The committee explained that it
had made the reduction because the
transportation act provided $20,000,-
600 for settling claims against the
government growing out of federal
control.
Discussing the cost of federal OPP
GRAFTON of the roads, the committee
in its report said:
Clearly it was not the purpose Of
the director general of the railroads
to give the impression that 1904, 000,-
600 would cover total losses sustained
by the government during federal
control, nor should it be inferred that
1925, 100000 shown as the additional
loss the government will suffer be-
cause of federal control is the only
loss which the government will sus-
tain.

claims of under-maintenance made

made for the operation of the roads,

Arrangements have about been completed for the final basket oall game in the series between the Ft. Seward team and the White Pass Athletics for next Saturday nigh.
 As the plans are now the Peter son is to come up in the afternpon of that day and remain until mid night so as to Permit of an informal dence after the game.
 The game played last Saturday night was one of unusual roughness both teams indulging in unEportS- man like tactics. From the side lines it would appear that the yts- itors begun the rough stuff an3 tEa home players took it up. It IS hoped that the Saturday game will be one according to rules. and that the spectators may be treated to an athleic contest such as one nigh; expect to witness on a basket ball colrt and not a slugging match.
 The score stands one game for Seward and one for the Athletics.
 While 1t was the intention to Day fiee games the fact that Billie Bled- soc intends leaving for the south on tho next steamer and Walter Watts will be in Whitehorsc Over Satur- days for thebalance of the season takes away from the Athletics two of the strongest players and 1t is believed doubtful if their places could be fillef with men strong enough to put up a contest with tho soldiers.
 The game Saturday will decide tho championship of the teams on Lynn Canal.
