WRECKS BARE
BAD CONDITION
OF RAILROADS
Heavy Loss of Life Shows
Sore Need of Immediate
Upkeep Action.
JOBS FOR THOUSANDS
Demand Made That Lines
Borrow Public Works
Funds for Repairs.
BY MARSHALL MNEIL
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. Further
government pressure on railroads to
borrow public works funds to bring
their plants and equipment up-to-
date is expected here.
The major reason is to provide
employment for some of the $780,
900 railroad unemployed. Another
reason is to maintain safety of the
carriers. This latter reason is dis
cuSSed here today as a result of the
three recent wrecks that cost TWEEN
ty-five lives.
The interstate commerce commits
sion bureau of safety is inveStigat-
ing all three wrecks.
The last wreck, on the Erie near
Binghamton, N. Y, caused w. P.
Borland, director of the safety
bureau, to denounce the use of the
wooden passenger car, telescoped be-
tween two steel coaches when milk
train crashed into the rear end of
the Fries crack f1ier.
Bitter in Criticism
Borland was almost explosive in
his criticism of the use of the wood
en- car by the Erie.
"ThereIl be some explaining to
do" he declared.
He pointed to the recommended
ton which the I. C. c. has made to
congress for years for law to pro-
hibit use of wooden cars between
steel cars.
The Erie wreck resulted in hor-
rible deaths for several of the vic
Tins, one, according to press dis
patches, being found hanging from
a window of the telescoped car, the
top of his head sheared off against
a window casing.
I. c. c. records show that total
of more than ten thousand wooden
cars still are in use in passenger
service, but most are relegated to
branch lines.
1t was no later than five days ago
that Joseph Eastman, federal CO.
ordinator of railroads, appealed to
arrangements to repair and modern
ize their equipment, maintain their
roadbeds and structure.
Work Sorely Needed
There is so much deferred main
tenance and other work which sore
ly needs to be DONE" Eastman said,
in his letter to managers of carri-
ers and labor leaders, that this not
only will help the country, but he
of the soundest economy"
He added that much has been
done" in this direction already, but
reminded the carriers that the pub
lie works administration was en-
powered to lend funds for this pur-
pose and that thus far no appica-
tions had been filed.
1t has been estimated that as
much as $1,O00000,0OO might be
spent on deferred maintenance.
Donald R. Richberg, before he be-
came general counsel for NRA,
stressed this in appearing before
congressional committees last spring
for the railroad brotherhoods.
There is no question:" he said
then, that expenditures of between
one billion and two billion dollars
ought to be made to rehabilitate the
railroads and to repair the depre-
citation in carrier properties caused
by a long period of under-main-
tenance."

NEW YORK, Sept. THE bill
~ lowy bosom is back, the up
holstered hip heaves again into
view, and the bullying bustline is
about to bloom anew on the
modish American woman-and all
because some thirty years ago
little Brooklyn girl gazed at the
Venus of Melos and murmured to
herself, Gosh! Amt that some
thin!"
The little Brooklyn girl grew up
into an actress, and as Mae West
she has devoted most of her life
to unselfish revelation mot to say
exploitation of those feminine
curves which a whole generation
of woman learned to conceal.
Take it from the best informed
couturiers, the hour-glass figure is
back. The kind of figure that
caused grandfather to twirl his
mustachios and muir, "Ah! Fine
figure of woman, that" Or even
the kind that caused father to
lean out of the buggy and NUT
ter to himself, "Some SHAPED"
TINE new Paris clothes tacitly
l. admit that the flat-chested,
tabular hed-Slat figure is out. A
little pinching at the waist now,
and little bullying above and be-
low that line.
A very frank admission that
women are made up of curves in
stead of angles; rounded swell
ing above the waist, an undulating
ampleness below it.
Away with depression, repres-
sion, suppression, at a single
sweep. Long live expression, con-
feSsion, and exposition!
All this is very much of per-
sonal triumph for Mae West. Like
every zealot who triumphS in a
long and holy crusade, Mae West
has suffered for her cause.
When Irene Castle was convert
ing nation to bObbed hair and
the slender silhouet, where was
Mae West? Doing a Weight-lift-
ing act in vaudeville, that's where
she was, and being just as buxom
about it as though Irene Castle
never had existed.
When the short skirt, and
Marlene Dietrich were focusing
Attention on legs, where was Mae
West? She was being Cleopatra
in a Shubert Revue number called
"Shakespeare'S Garden of Love"
and a very swell Cleopatra she
must have been, too, for it's high
ly unlikely that the Serpent of
the Nile was addicted to ten-day
diets.
MAE WEST has worked long
1V1 and hard in comparative OBJ
security for this moment of tri-
umph, been true to her curvilin-
ear ideals when famished fapperS
Scoffed.
She even has been cast into
dungeon Ooh, we'll, served a term
on New York's Welfart islanO
for her devotion to the idea that
a woman should have something
and show it,"
Who could begrudge her vindi-
cation at the hands of the high
est fashion authorities of Paris
and America?
One thing in justice ought to
be made clear at the outset. Mae
West is none of your 'big-horse"
women of the spear carrying era.

or pull, or power, but it's hu"
man despair-the Little Eel
lows gnawing need and pitiful
despair. And so there is some
thing you can do-something
that's more potent than the
most willy political scheme
YOU CAN PRAY!
YOU CAN PRAY FOR
THOSE MEN WHO ARE
FIGHTING IN WASHING
TON TODAY!
Never mind if you're not the
praying kind. Never mind if,
with the years, you've lost your
faith in prayer. Pray now.
Have faith again now. For
never before was it so desper-
ately needed. America needs
it. Those men who are fight
ing to save America, need it.
Make mistakes? Of course
they have. OF course they will.
Who hasn't? Who won't?
Wouldn't you, il you stood in
their shoes? And would it help
you to have everyone nagging,
shopping, sneering - watching
to see you make your first mis-
take?
It wouldn't. You know it
wouldn't. You'd want, instead.
to have someone believe in you.
You'd give anything if someone
would help you to keep on be-
lieving in yourself.
THEN GIVE THOSE MEN
THE BREAKS YOU'D ASK

Let's forgive and forget the
foolishness and the crooked

A WAR AGAINST MISERY
AGAINST IGNORANCE AND

Pray as you've never prayed

sick at heart, and God only
knows how weary! They've
done their chores, plenty of
chores, long since. They've
earned their rest. No possible
money or power or fame can
ever repay them for what they
are going to lose in the struggle
that lies ahead. Yet, with all

What Is a Platform
Between Politicians?"

The nomination of Mr..
Roosevelt was almost a fore
gone conclusion long before
the recent convention met
and his supporters were in
control of the convention
and of the platform commit
tee. The planks that went
into the platform reflected
the purposes of the man
who was likely to be nomi-.
mated.
These purposes were so
positive and clear that they
could be stated bluntly in
few words.
Thus the brevity of the
platform last year-and it's
clearness.
Even so, the long expert
ence of/the people with plat
forms and their easy repudi-
atiQn left most in a cynical
frame of mind.
"What is platform be-
tween politicians ?"-and the
average man shrugged his
shoulders.
When, therefore, President
Roosevelt moved instantly
toward the fulfillment of the
platform promises, taking
up one after another, and
getting speedy action, all
within four weeks, the worst
of the cynics were startled
by the novelty, and found
themselves believing.
It is a sad comment on the
meaning Of party promises
in recent years that the
Presidents action on the
promises this year is found
so extraordinary as to call
forth a perfect flood Of edi-
torial comment.
A party actually has had
a definite program.
1t actually has announced
that program in a platform.
And actually it is writing
it's promises into law.
This is a miracle!
