Commissioner McChord filed a special
report In which he fully concurred with
the statement of the majority report that
1.-The efficiency Of our transportation
system could only be secured through
unification of operation during the period
of the war; but wholly dissented from
the view that this unification might be
effected by the carriers themselves. Com
missioner McChord's report said that the
, committee which called itself the Rail-
road War Board was the fifth committee
that the railroads had had in Washington
to deal with the transportation situation
since November, 1915; that the first two
committees were given no real authority
and that the members were hampered by
the unwillingness Of certain railroads to
carry out their instructions; that In re-
spouse to the suggestions Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission the third
committee was sent to Washington, in
January, 1917 but was not given the
promised power and therefore, was not
received by the commission; that in Feb
ruary the fourth committee was sent to
enforce car service rules, but not all of
the railroads would agree that these rules
were workable and the agreement was
therefore incomplete and inadequate; and
that although the resolution of het rail-
for the operation Of the railroads lin a
continental railway system" and that the
pooling of cars, the operation as a unit
the placing of facilities at the disposal
OF railways in other territories as needed
were essential steps in the coordination
OF railway operations, the board did not
take these steps until Nov. %, 1917, more
than seven months after it's formation.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2s. A plea for the
elimination of cigarette smoking by
women in moving picture films. except

managers Of the international Anti

The appearance of cigarette smoking,

respectability among high school and
college girls, threatens Che element of
WOmanhood that must mother the
American Of tomorrow
"The presentation OF films in which
women, ostensibly respectable and of

cigarettes, is setting vicious and
harmful example before our boys and

Another important decision of the
court upheld the right Of gas compa
