Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, May 13.-That there
VIII be gradual Improvement in
freight service during the coming
weeks is the opinion OF State Rail-
road Commissioner Charles Webster.
who has just returned from the hear
ing on shipping conditions held last
week before the interstate commerce
commission at Washington.
In fact there has been a noticeable
improvement since the roads went
back to private management March
l, Commissioner Webster declares.
Car loads of lumber are now coming
thru from the western coast in much
when the roads We're under govern
ment control.
The big problem right now is to
get the cars out into this middle west
to move the grain and the live
stock" said Commissioner Webster
in discussing conditions. THE seri-
BUSINESS of the situation was put up
strongly to the commission at the
conference in which representatives
OF livestock organizations. grain men,
traffic managers. and railroad repre-
sentatives participated
Big Effort to Move Grain.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has plan to get the railroads
to collect all of their own freight
cars In so far as possible onto their
own lines so that those needing re-
pairs can be repaired. No one road
will repair the cars of another and
with the cars scattered over ali OF
the lines there is not SO much repair
ing being done as there would be II
each line could get hold of it's own
cars.
The congestion at traffic centers
in the terminal elevators must be re-
lieved before grain can be moved
from country districts. a big effort
is to be made to get this grain NOV
ed"
Commissioner Webster stopped in
Chicago on his way back to Iowa to
attend a meeting of the committee
investigating the proposal OF the ex-
press companies to increase their
rates. The express company repre-
sentatives reported at this meeting
that losses from damage claims,
thefts and similar losses had in
creased from two million to twelve
million dollars annually.
Senator a. B. Cummins. chairman
of the senate committee on railroads.,
has announced that he will call rail-
way executives before his committee
and make inquiry into what is being
done to supply cars for the agricul-
tural districts.

hood diseases. Every mother
knows the symptoms, but the
mistake that most mothers make
is in failing to realize that the
child is not fully recovered after
the eruption and fever disappear
The air passages are still inhamed
and If this Inflammation Is not
cleared up, the air passages may
be weakened, thus paving the
way for pneumonia or serious
disease of the lungs.
Nightly applications Of Vick's
vapoRub will aid nature in
relieving this inflammation. Be
cause Vicks acts locally by slim

out the inflammation, attract the

"Footlights and shadows" Olive Thomas newest Selznick picture, which opens a three-day engagement at the Lyceumj theater tomorrow night, sets new mark of achieve ment for both the star and producer. For Miss Thomas it offers opportuni ties for emotional and dramatic act ing greater than any of her previous photoplays, and for the producer it represents possibilities in the line of elaborate staging, and artistic effects that very few, if any, screen attrac- tions have brought forth.
 The element of mystery and sus- pense is we'll developed in this new play, which deals with the strange adventures of Gloria Dawn, beauti- full actress who is the star in the "Midnieht Revue" Her strange eX- periences begin when, in the middle of the night, d man admits himself to her apartment with his own key. He then collapses with brain fever. and Gloria, to avoid scaTtlal, an- nounces him as a distant relative. Then follows a series Of compllca- tions which make the solution Of the plot of the most intense interest.
