riers overcome sharp declines in
business and revenue.
The meeting was called for II am.
at the Southern Railway Building.
A committee of six appointed by
President Roosevelt-three from
each side-will submit the complete
program to the administration. Mr..
Roosevelt said Friday he hoped con-
structive railroad legislation could
be enacted by the 1889 Congress.
Informed persons said prospects
for congressional approval of new
program improved last week when
the carriers dropped plan to cut
wages IS per cent. The railroads
claimed the reduction would save
them S2500O0,0O0 annually but al
most 100000 workers voted to
strike rather than take the cut.
Hope for Sounder Policy.
J. J. Pelley, president of the Asso-
ciation of American Railroads, said
the cut was abandoned not so much
because an emergency presidential
board suggested it. but because ex-
ecutives hoped that out of the pres
ent situation would come q ''sounder

Both management and labor, as
we'll as the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the emergency
board, have proposed measures they
believe would help the carriers. All
agree that although a marked up
turn in business would eliminate the
necessity for many of them, the
railroads should be given more au-
thority in the meantime to carry
out their own reorganizations and
consultations. should receive limited
Government assistance in the form
Of long-term, loW-rate loans, and
should have their rate-making pro-

In addition, the carriers proposed

Make-Up Goes
 Sky High
By BETTY CLARK AP Feature Service Writer

Red-haired Jacqueline Cochrane, Americas No. l woman flyer, has sensible ideas about beauty.
 Mandarin fingernails and artifi- cial eyelashes are Ceiling Zero to her.
 Nimble- witted, quick moving, she opened couple of windows, ordered afternoon coffee, moved her chair to a more conversational position and kept friendly interview going all at the same time. No single-track action for Jackie Cochran, winner of the 1888 Bendix air race and holder of 293 m.p.h speed record for women flyers.
 What does she do about makeup when she's flying? Doesn't wear any rouge.
 You get pale at high altitude, she explain. So rouge just stands out in one big spot"
 Likes an eye cream 'Uo keep my eyelids from drying" Otherwise she uses a normal makeup. There's a foundation cream with an oil base. C'Your skin gets dry in high altitudesD Then lipstick and powder. That's all.
 In summer, she likes a grease up-foundation cream that makes you look all bright and shiny and is worn without any powder.
 You ought to wear that some times" she suggests to her inter- viewer in typical feminine fashion. Just touch of paste rouge and your lipstick. It's young = looking and very attractive with sports clothes
 "Jackie's" beauty tips, by the way, spring from real Knowledge of the cosmetic industry. She owns chain of beauty parlors, manu- factures cosm tics line, has worked in beauty salons herself on and off since she was eleven years old.
 T bet you I could tell most of the preparations of the biggest houses with my eyes shut" she says seriously.

Male Teachers Are Lured Back,
 increase Salary

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. Men are staging a comeback as teach CTS of the next generation.
 The office of education of the United States says that better wages are bringing men back into the school rooms.
 Around 1880 some 42 per cent of the nations teachers were men, but by 1920 most of these had de- serted the rule for other pursuits. In that year only IA per cent of the teachers were male.
 Since 1920, however, there has been a steady increase, and at pres ent more than 20 per cent of the teachers are men. Tn the same pe- riod salaries have steadily in- creased to an annual average of about $1,200.
