Gone is the nice, but slightly formal
young woman who adorned 50 many OF

go down to the post office and have a
look for yourself.
The other girl had figure that sort
Of melted into the background. A
heavy. Grecian type of robe fell In
folds about her.
The new girl is wearing a silken
gown, blown about her by breeze.
NondeScript at best describes the
hair of the hazel-eyed girl of yester.
year. but Miss 1898 is definitely red
haired and blue-eyed. She has Cupid
bow lips, uses rouge and lipstick and
instead Of bound-up or plated hail
she's let her tresses down. And she
doesn't wear stockings.
High Army officials declined com.
ment. They said the poster was turned

PRESIDENT PLANS
NO RAIL MESSAGE
Congress Canvass Shows
Legislation Impossible
at This Session.
BY the Associated Press,

ny tne ASbocl&tc0 EfeBe.
President Roosevelt said today he
did not contemplate any special mes
sage to the current Congress urging
the enactment OF railroad legislation.
Talking to reporters at his press
conference, he left the impression that
the question Of such legislation WAS
entirely up to Congress.
The administration learned, mean
while. from an eleventh-hour con-
gressional canvass that it could not
count on enacting immediate legis-
lation to alleviate the financial plight
Of the railroads.
Even q new program of the Recon.
struction Finance Corporation to
hasten operation Of the bankruptcy
"wringer," leaders agree, has virtually
no chance Of consideration at this
session.
Unyielding opposition of the rail-
road brotherhoods to liberalizing Fed
eral loans to the carriers has blocked
that proposal. The unions based their
stand on the railroads order for a IS
per cent wage reduction.
Apparent stalemating of the legisla-
tive program, Chairman Jesse Jones
Of the r. r. G. said yesterday. meant
that debt-burdened roads would have
to keep scratching, hoping for an
upturn in trafic"
Confers With President
Mr.. Jones made his statement after
. conference with President Roosevelt.
Afterward he talked with Senate
Leader Barkley. Democrat, Of Ken
tucky and Chairman Wheeler of the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee
Senator Barkley said he had ad-
vised Mr.. Jones that only an op-
timist" could hope for enactiEg any
measures not already on the pre-ad-
journment program. and that railroad
legislation was not ION the docket"
Mr.. Wheeler refused to discuss de-
tails Of Mr.. Jones legislative pro-
posal. but said:
If the administration has q bill it
wants to put through to speed up re-
organization Of bankrupt railroads,
will do all can to help put it through
at this session, but I don't believe it
can be DONE"
Bill Is Recalled.
Informed persons said the admin
istration had approved a bill which
would confer on circuit courts original
jurisdiction in railroad representations
The measure would transfer to the
| courts some Of the functions now per-
formed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
A proposal to stave OF bankruptcy
for some roads by advancing Federal
funds until permanent solution of
the railroad problem could be Effected
was held up in the Senate Banking
Committee. The committee approved
1t at one time. but recalled 1t from
the Senate calendar after the roads
announced their intention to cut
wages.
