Washington, Feb. 2l.--Declaring
the Transportation act failure
both in theory and effect, William G..
McAdoo, Director Geenral of Rail
roads Girin" the war, said yeStcr-
day that the carriers were drifting
toward government ownership, which
to him seemed the only apparent So
1utiou.
The railroads. Mr.. McAdoo said,
mad not been put into the condition
desired despite the payment of mil
lions of dollars Of taxpayers money
to them under the terms of the
Transportation act.
. The increasing Of rates clearly has
mot solved the railroad problem, Mr..
McAdoo declared. While the larger
roads are showing better returns.
The smaller lines are not profiting By
the new rates, he added.
+. The proposed plan for the consoli-
,dation of the railroads into number
of systems was declared to be i'm
practical.
Mr.. MeAdoo thought that the car
:riers should pav for. their labor at
IFS market value just as they have -
purchase their steel from the mills
at The market price irrespective Ct
their earnings.

The average number Of pupils per

 She says it is difficult to tell of the work of this club as it has not set rules to guide it in It's researches, and that It's object is to study the links between psychological phenom- ina. The clubs aim is to discover fundamental Mws and beauty, and things that are eternally lovely and good and to make individually ap- plicable these eternal laws which have guided and inspired mankind since the beginning of the world. It is seeking to find through the study of many opinions and cults the one foundamental and universal truth. common to all.
 The club was organized about five years ago for the study of psychology in any or all its phases by a small group of women, including Mrs. Sum ter Bethea. Mrs J. b. Penney. Mrs. c. c. Adams. Mrs. Neil Wallace and the late Mrs. J. O. Hannum
 This Is the first year In which they have gone into the vast field of re- ligious psychology. though previous ly they found much interest in aca- demic psychology. as expressed in the works of William James and Stanley Hall.
 At each meeting there is talk or paper given by the leader for the day, after which an open forum Is held in which every member speaks of impressions that grow out of the subject treated of

 Standing all day, or sitting in cramped positions and often with wet feet, young girls contract deranged conditions, and before they are hardly aware of it they develop headaches, backache, irregularities, nervousness and bearing-down pains, all of which are symptoms of woman's ills. Every mother who has daughter suffering from such symptoms should profit by the experience of Mrs. Richer and give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compounds fair trial.
