British Girls Turn Vamp
Because They Can't
Get Husbands

LONDON, Oct 27.-Because
million or more women in England
have no expectation OF marriage they
are deliberately lowering themselves
In dress to make themselves at
tractive to men, according to DR..
Leonard Hin, noted British physician
and student OF sociology. lie said
today:
bizarre colors low cut dresses
transparent stockings and short
skirts indicate the intensified struggle
OF women for making themselves
sexually attractive. The one and
only reason for this Is that the war
has decreased the number OF mar
riage males to such degree that a
million surplus women In Britain will
never have an opportunity to marry"

PLAN NEW LAW FOR
|. RAILROAD FINANCE
|. C. C. endeavoring to Keep
Roads in Exercise Of Its Con- .
troll Over Security Issues.

Now that the provisions of the
transportation Act. giving the Inter
state Commerce Commission control
over issuance OF securities. and also,
to a certsin degree, over the spplica-
ton OF the proceeds thereof. are In
force, IL is becoming apparent that
railroad financing methods as here
tofore practiced. Will undergo some
modification. The change, in fact,
has ALREADY begun.
Banking firms, particularly the
primary houses which are the first
purchasers OF most OF the larger Sc
curity issues, have realized some OF
the implications OF the new order.
and not with unmixed satisfaction.
They are aware. for instance, that
plans for security Issues and for re-
organizations must be submitted to
the commiss ions division OF finance.
which is required by law to hold a
public hearing on each application
for approval. This means some de-
lay, and that involves the delicate and
troublesome task of timing a public
security offering TO the cspricious ap-
petite OF the investing market.
MEMORIES or OLD RATE CASES.
with the hsunung memory of the
weary months through which the rate
cases OF old used to drag their length.
some Wall Street bankers have been
apprehensive that the time consumed
in obtaining Federal authority to sell
securities would mean that the rail-
roads might fall into the chronic
condition OF missing their market"
Such apprehensions, IL one may judge
from events to date. are groundless,
for at least two reasons. One Is that
the division OF finance, under Director
Colston, a man of long experience in
railroad law and finance, has been
quick to see the need OF expedition
In affording railroad needed capi-
tai.
The other Is that such applications.
drawn up on forms prepared by the
division of finance, are submitted in
such detail that little time is required
in the hearing to bring out all the
pertinent facts. AS a rule. no opposi-
tion develops.
The mere fact that Federal control
Of securities has actually supplanted
that OF the dozen or more states
which formerly exercised such pow
ers, is admittedly a great offset to
any possible disadvantage ii may en-
tail That was the purpose of the
law, and to all intents and purposes
IL has been achieved. In one case, a
state in which the applicant carrier
operates, made formal EFFORT to
save it's Jurisdiction OF securities, but
apparently nothing has come Of IL, at
least not yet.

various yards was listed as fol-

G. D. COLCORD.
P. S.-We reached Park Rapids
Monday evening and are making our
headquarters at Birchhaven, the beau
tiful summer home Of Mrs. Joseph
Roach, who with her daughter, Mrs.
Axel Roise, and grand daughter, the
charming, Miss Gladys, and Roach are
living in the place. Birchhaven is
lovely beyond power Of description
and comprises sixty acres of heavily
wooded land bought by the late Joseph
Roach some eight or ten years ago.
The house, commodious two-story
structure, with great enclosed porch
commanding a splendid view of Long
Lake, is built of pine logs, and was
so we'll constructed that it can be oc-
cupied, winter or summer. 1t has
great fire place and the mornings
are so cool that Mrs. Roach usually
enjoys little fire in it. The estate
is equipped with ice house, and well
Of spring water and the home is sur
rounded by towering pines and birch
trees. The ground is springy under
ones gentle tread from pine needles
that have been dropping for ages, and
as I sit here can reach out and touch
wild strawberries, blueberries and the
little bright red wintergreen berries
that grow in abundance turnout the
woods. Raspberries are ripe and
there are gooseberries in profusion.
Mrs. Roach, who has lost none Of
her typical thrift and energy, delights
each day in getting out and picking
berries, and is canning big supply
of the delicious fruit. Just now a
cunning squirrel sits at my feet. A
thousand birds are singing in the
trees. The sun is just coming up
over Long Lake. thought l came
up here to fish, but I'm tempted to
just spend my time filling my eyes
with these wondrous sights.
Mrs. Roach suggests that the Minot
folks build lodge up here which
could be occupied at will during the
season.
Upon our arrival we found Mrs.
Axel Roise preparing the evening meal
and she served some choice black bass
which she and the Misses Roach had
caught themselves that day. After
an eighty mile motor ride, there's
nothing that hits the spot, like black
bass fried in corn meal, served piping
hot, with blue berries for dessert. It's

We wound up the day with fishing
excursion and then a plunge in the
clear lake.
Bob Graham, Bert Stewart and some
more Of those light sleepers ought to
come down here. There's something
about the smell of the pine trees and
the sound Of the breeze thru them
that lulls one into the sound sleep Of
a school boy.
Rev. P. w. Erickson's cottage is
just opposite Birchhaven on the other
side Of the lake. The Taylors are
camping there. That's where John

II have heard many silly Negro ad,
vocates of segregation boast of how
much money they can raise for a
Negro enterprise, too blind to see that
most any white man will contribute
literally to any movement that will
keep Colored people away from him
and make them acknowledge their in
feriority. In fact, the most dangerous
enemy of democracy with which we
have to contend, and the most serv-
iceable capitalistic tool, is organized
charity. The large donors to these
