wave, and the day Is long past
when one will find an inexperi'
enced operator in any OF the
reliable shops. They really are
obliged to learn the work thor
oughly before they are permit
ted to do a permanent wave.
Some of the reasons for a
wave failure may be due to the
physical condition of the GUS
toner, a mixture of chemical
coloring, or lack of preparation.
The safe way is, always tell the
operator if you have used any
dye, rinse, restorer, or bleach.
Then it will be a simple matter
to test the hair to determine
just how much heat it will
need.
When the operator tells you
to have some reconditioning
treatments, he is really doing
you a great favor, as he would
much rather do the wave at
once, rather than risk letting
you go out to some other shop.
So Just take his advice and you
will not be sorry.
We know there is seldom any
trouble about waves now. even
when there is dye and coloring
on the hair, as the methods are
so improved, nearly all waves
are perfect. When there is a
disappointment. we are gener'
ally called upon for advice or
sympathy, bur we are not going
to scold the operator. They feel

Prayer for a Letter

o Eros, god of love, pray
You speed this letter on its way!
Let him have hungered long
for it
But let its flippant tone admit
Nothing of this inward glow
Let him hope and yet not know:
While his heart is strangely
stirred
By a pert and piquant word.
Let this faltering pen Of mine
Betray me by no hating line,
Yet let these words somehow
convey
All the things I dared not say!

The book covers a long span,
beginning with the time when
the ink was hardly dry on her
diploma from the Convent of
Notre Dame, Milwaukee, till she
came to New York to become
successful newspaperwoman and
magazine editor.
Famous
Anecdote
Miss Jordan tells at first hand
many newspaper stories which
have since become classics. The
famous one about John L. Sulli-
van refusing to box for the en-
tertainment of the Prince of
Wales, later Edward VII when
the pug stoutly maintained: If
me fri'nd Arthur Brisbane amt
there, I don't box" At that
time Mr.. Brisbane was London
correspondent of the New York
Sun. And the last thing that
the prince wanted was to have
his august mamma, Queen Vic
toria, know that he had wit
messed a boxing match by an
American prize fighter. Miss
Jordan gives Mr.. Brisbane'S YER
sion CT this story, as she does
Of many another, during the
three years when she was his
assistant on the New York Sun
day World.
AS a cub reporter, Miss Jor-
dan covered the Lizzie Borden
trial, the perfect crime of the
century. She has some inter
esting high lights on the trial of
Carlyle Harris for the murder of
his schoolgirl wife. She tells an
amusing episode about a day
spent with Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Jennings Bryan at Red
Hook, N. j.. and the JOY Mrs.
Bryan took in the rustic of her
first silk petticoat.

chance that this stacking of the
payroll will 90 out this fall. Another
estimated S1OO,OOOOOO could thus
stay in railroad treasures.
The final helping hand" is the
recession itself. BY that l mean
that the railroads in the last twelve
months have learned how far they
can stretch their dollars. Com
modify prices are way below a
year ago. In material buying alone
the roads are probably saving at
the rate of $3O,OOOO0O annually
compared with 1887. Moreover,
thousands of employees have been
discharged. In spite of higher wage
rates, the payroll is $25,OOO,OOO be-
low last years level In addition
there have been hundreds of small
economies which collectively
amount to a big sum.
Now, of course, as their business
increases the railroads expenses
will also increase. More men will
have to be put back to work, more
money will have to be spent on
road bed, depots, etc, more equip
ment will have to be bought. How
ever, a big portion of the total
savings of $485 100000 should be
carried into net income. The in
dustry's annual deficit has been
running around $300000,0O0 Hence,
if all these estimated savings take
place, the carriers should again
be able to pay their bills and meet
the interest on their bonds.
Basic Problems Not Solved
Therefore, I am hopeful that
the danger of more railroad re-
ceiverships has gone by for the
time being. In fact, railroad securi-
ties may score a sharper gain in
price than any other group over
the next six months But do not
forget that the above betterments
in the rail situation have not al
tered the long term, underlying
problems of the carriers. For this
latter reason, wise investors are
now beginning to reduce their rail-
road holdings. Often it is not safe
to wait too long for the anticipated
higher prices. Everyone cannot sell
at the same time.

recent stump WITHOUT dulllIlOllol
receivershipS. This improvement IS
typical of the sharp ups-and-doWns
which the industry has experienced
since 1881 For seven years the
carriers have had one foot in the
grave. Yet every time people start
burying the industry, it suddenly
springs back to life!
This time the rally is due to a
number of factors First, there is
the spectacular upswing in busi-
ness. Freight carloadings were
down to 100000 at the low point
early in June. Now they are around
100000. This jump is striking at
the railroads biggest basic prob
lem, namely,-the steady loss in
traffic since 1929. If gross revenues
could be pulled back to a reason
able level, most other problems
would vanish. There is a possibility
that the present rally in business
will turn into a real prosperity
period. If the current improvement
we have already had in carloadings
is maintained, carriers revenues
should be boosted S1000OO,00O an
nually.
Rate Increase Real Aid
The second aid to the industry
is the freight rate increase granted
last April. At that time, with the
outlook so gloomy, with traffic
dropping so fast, and with month
ly deficits so huge. this advance
in rates seemed insignificant. Now.
with traffic rising and better bus
mess ahead, the added revenues
from the higher rates are becoming
more and more important. Based
on today's traffic level, it is esti-
mated that this rate change should
yield Sl000000O0 a year in addi-
tional revenue. Bear in mind, also,
that this figure will continue to
mount as loadings multiply.
The next favorable item is the
fare increase. Most eastern roads
boosted tariffs from 2 to 2ls cents
per mile on July 25. In the long
run, l believe that the lower rate
would be better. I am opposed to
solving any industry's problems by

increasing the price of its product
or service. However, in the case
of the railroads, 1 think that il
was necessary to do so at this
time. The higher fares may yield
S30000.OO0 a year in new revenues
Wage Cut Ahead
Then there is the possibility OF
a wage cut. A year ago, employees
received a rs per cent boost in
pay. This was absolutely unwar-
ranted. Now railroad managements
say that because of huge losses
in revenues, workers must take a
Is per cent cut. The seniority rule
prevails in the railroad unions as
in most other unions. For ten
years the carriers have been forced
to lay off workers as other trans
portation methods took away their
business. For this reason, the ma
jority vote has fallen into the
hands of the older employees.
The latter, apparently sure OF
their jobs, seem more interested
in the amount of money in their
pay envelope than in the number
of men at work or in the total
payroll. The net result is that rail-
road wages are today the highest
on record and the number of work
ers the lowest in forty years. Now,
my guess is that the rail unions
will compromise as part of this
compromise, employees will take a
wage reduction Of between and
7l2 per cent. Based on current
payrolls, this should save the in
dustry above $l0O,OOO,OO0 annually.
Feather Bedding Bad Business
In addition to the pay slash,
the so-called Feather bedding
feature may be kicked out. The
latter means giving employees pay
for hours they do not work. Union
rules say that covering 100 miles
IS equivalent to a days work. These
rules have existed for years. To
day, fast trains run 400 miles in
a few hours, but their crews are
paid for FOUR days work! In ad-
dition to, or as an alternative to,
the wage cut, there is a good
