ACTIVE FUTURE
FOR RAILROADS
Williamson, of c. B. & o., to
Take Presidency of
New York Central.
BY HOMER L. ROBERTS
United Press Stan Cnrresnnndent

STOCKTON, Cal, Nov. 13-An
active and prosperous future for
American railroading was seen by
three leading transportation execu-
tives today in discussing a shift Of
railway control in which they are
central figures.
President Frederick E. William
son Of the Chicago, Burlington 81
Quincy revealed he is planning to
accept the presidency of the New
York Central, where he began his
railroad career under Patrick E.
Crowley, the retiring executive.
The elevation of President Ralph
Budd of the Great Northern to Will
hamson's post with the G. B. 81 @.
was taken for granted from remarks
made by him and Arthur Curtiss
James-the latter regarded as the
~man behind the scenes" in the new
railroad picture.
: And finally, Vice President Will
liam G. Kenney of the Great North
ern was described as the probable
candidate to succeed to the presi-
dency Of this new transcontinentaI
line.
The statements were made by the
officials on their return from Bieber,
Cal, where they dedicated a new
mountain line which brings the
Great Northern into California from
Chicago and st. Paul-realizing the
dreams of Empire Builder" James
j. Hill from the time he began ex-
tending the Great Northern west.
President Budd viewed the new
Great Northern Western Pacific
line as one of many signs. of re-
turning prosperity. James added a
word of caution.
Prosperity is not coming back in
ten minutes" he said. But it is
my hope that the bottom of the
depression was reached four weeks
ago when the new bank system was
Brought out. Since then we have
mad a marked increase in COM
modify prices, which, in the final
analysis, is unrnistakable evidence
of returning confidence"
Williamson announced himself as
mot one who believes the railroads
have seen their best days and that
transportation will be taken over by
motor trucks or other means"

its readers the highest points Of
whisky difficulties, and described
in detail a brawl in front Of a
Chicago saloon, brought about by
the antics Of several DRINKS.
The people of indianapolis, at
that time. also were sarcastic about
the failure Of gentlemen of public
note to bring a railroad through
indianapolis, as they had promised.
And newspaper men were given
the benefit of the doubt in those
days. In one story reporter who
had aided two girls involved in a
scandal was described as a good
man of the press" That was be-

the long hall, and there she places the

With Borah it was different. The
Idaho Senator came Of a deeply relt-

He spent his youth on a farm, but hts
bent was far more toward reading than

It would not be dificult to imagine
either of these two Senators as sue

will be convinced.
Watson loves the dramatic He IS
famous for his ability to make nice lit

Much of this Is true also Of Borah.

made by the wind. Perhaps that is why
powder puffs are named as they are
But how many women remember that
the device for applying powder is ac-
tually q puff" and not something
which could be more accurately de-
scribed by the word scrub?
The way many women use these
dainty accessories which are meant to
be used as puts Is one Of the causes of

will have to work overtime, for no one
wants to be seen with q shiny, perspir-
ing face. But please, when renewing
the makeup during the day, don't just
simply take out your pun and scrub it
vigorously over the skin, driving the
powder into the pores. Remember that
the pores in q warm, perspiring skin are
open and that using the puff incorrectly
opens them still wider and then fills
them up with powder.
If possible, before applying more
powder freshen the complexion and
close the pores by wiping the face with
pieces of absorbent cotton which have
been dipped in an astringent or a skin
tonic. Then apply the powder, patting

True, after putting there is usually
an excessive amount Of powder on the
skin, but this is easily remedied. If
at home, remove excess powder with
that necessary beauty accessory-the
brush of camel's hair. If one is not
available merely remove excess powder
gently with q piece of clean absorbent
cotton or a clean linen handkerchief.

THE CARPENTER BEE.

Hymenoptera.
TINE first apartment house builders
in America were the lady car
penter bees. The builder not
i only made them several stories
high but often two rooms wide
A roof entrance as well as a ground
floor entrance were provided for the
jewellers.
The mother bee has slept away from
draught and danger all Winter. In
the Spring she comes out into the sun
home for her children. She is very
determined builder, and woe betide
any one who tries to interfere with her
during these days. She Is about the
size Of bumblebee and Is dressed in
dark blue or black velvet. Her wings
glisten in the sunlight. Her strong
Jaws are used for cutting away the
wood She polishes with her tongue
and has secretion in her mouth
which she spreads over the walls to
make them smooth and damp-proof.
A rafter. dead tree or any wood with
a soft interior is her choice for
home-site. She sets to work at once
on the tcp-floor entrance. The front
hall is about an inch wide and the
length of her body. The front legs
take the sawdust from her mouth and
hold it until the pellets make pile
the size of a pea. She goes to spot
nearby and deposits this carefully. She
Is a canny builder and saves every
scrap of the material excavated.
The hall completed, she turns to the
right and digs straight down for IL
inches. 1t takes about two days to
remove each inch of wood. The saw
dust pile grows and at last the long
tunnel and ground-floor entrance are
completed.
The pile of sawdust now receives
her attention. Taking a grain Of this
in her mouth, she covers 1t with a
salivary secretion and goes into the
last hallway. One inch from the en-
trance she CLUES q pellet to the side
of the wall second pellet is added
until a circle Is complete.
The second row is begun, and soon
the opening gets smaller and smaller
until one tiny pellet closes the studded
door. She fiies away from the roof en-
trance across the fields and Is lost to
