since congress could not or would not
pass the necessary legislation By that

Wednesday issued a proclamation set

companies should be able to prepare

business under their ownership

congressman and railway officials as
were interviewed, and the latter ex-

would be ready by March l, to carry on,

act suitable legislation and the inter

rate increases as will make It pos

Immediately after the issuance of

all officers and employees Of railroads
to redOuble their efforts to produce

Delay of the Germans in signing the

The house of commons as whole
received the scheme with approval,
but there is little hope that it will

chance of It's success. Lloyd George

Viscount French, lord lieutenant OF
Ireland. He declared 1t was not only
despicable and dastardly, but one OF

Business Interests Women.

All wives of rich men are not
chiefly interested in spending the
money their husbands make. Some
are as keenly interested as their
husbands in the development of the
family business. An amusing but
excellent illustration of this type of
wife came to my ears the other day,
through a financier familiar with the
facts. A wealthy man who is devel-
oping with extraordinary activity
and success a very large enterprise.
to celebrate an anniversary, gave his
wife a very substantial check to
purchase a pearl necklace. On in
curing some little time later how
the quest for a suitable necklace was
progressing, the wife confessed that,
instead of squandering the money on
herself. she had secretly bought
shares in her husbands company!
The fact that the shares declined
quite a little after she had made her
big purchase did not worry her very
seriously, as she had absolute faith
in the ability of her husband to
build up an extremely profitable en-.
terprise. Her faith has since been
justified. for the shares have advanc-
ed very sharply. But she has no in
tenton of selling. She knows that
her investment will be worth a great
deal more by and by. She regards
the whole thing as a drama of grip
ping interest, as a vast play in the
course Of unfolding. 1t is no longer
the money in it that interests hcr:
1t is the fascination of greater and
still greater achievement in spite of
innumerable obstacles which might
well have discouraged a less resolute
will than her husband possesses.
(Parenthetically, on the next ami
versary which came around her hus-
band presented her with an even
more choice string of pearls than
the one she resisted buying.)-
