The United States railroad admins

for over two years has controlled the
operations of the nations railway sys-

with the passing at midnight of the
230 lines that had been merged into
one gigantic system into the hands Of
the private owners. The private in

competition as of old.
The transfer was without incident.
and there was nothing to indicate TO
the travelling public that there had
been a change. Of the big staff Of
directors who controlled the roads
during the time they were under gov
ernment direction Director General
Hines alone remains. He has no au-

operations of the various lines and
merely remains to clear up the many

and it is expected the plant will be in operation by August 1, unless con- greSs should fail to further support the undertaking. Helium is extract ed from natural gas by a secret process.
 Construction of the plant, the only one of it's kind in the world and at a cost of approximately $5,00O.000, was started during the world war following a series of experiments conducted by army anI navy experts here and at Petrolia, Texas. Beyond the fact that a inf1ammable, non- explosive, gas had been developed, the results of the experiments have remained a secret. The helium plant, since it's construction started, has been under military guard. A naval lieutenant is in command.

Revival Of Chapter Production

| Revival of Chapter Production
Distressing conditions in hospi-
tails and homes throughout eastern
and central Europe recall Red Cross
workers to garment-making tasks.
The attention of Red Cross chap
| tors has been called by General
Manager Frederick c. Munroe to
| the suitable conditions prevailing IN
eastern and central Europe and an
anneal IS made to Red Cross work
ars TO undertake simple forms of
production to provide layettes for
| babies and garments for suffering
men and women. Recent reports
from Europe show clearly that IN
the eastern and central countries
disease, starvation and destruction
are almost everywhere. From a
humanitarian standpoint alone, the
cbapters and branches of the Amer
lean Red Cross should face the sit
nation. in addition to humanitarian
consideration, self-interest demands
that our people should do every
thing in their power to help these
countries back to normal conditions.
| II is evident that if we sit quietly
by and allow typhus and other
epidemic diseases to spread over
Europe and permit the coming gen,
Grafton to grow up under-nourlshed
| and unfit to meet their duties, the
whole health and economic structure
of the world will be affected. 1t
is neither possible nor desirable to
consider chapter production on the
old basis with it's attendant expense
and it is not necessary to provide
chapter work rooms. The garments
needed are all of simple manufac-
ture and can be made by women
meeting in the neighborhood sew
ing circles or in their own homes.
The fact is there is need for press
! ing into active service again the
needles that were laid aside when
rehabilitation eliminated the de-
man for comforts for the soldiers
in the camps and in the trenches
and for the defenders of the flag
upon the seas. But this time it is
not a matter of comforts for the
fighting men but of covering for
| the nakedness of thousands OF child
| rem and clothing to replace the tat
tered rags that constitute the ward
robes of countless adults impover-
ished by the world war and its al.
termath of Affections.

Justice Holmes of the Supreme
Court of the UAited States, while
