Oppose
Federal Operation
Rails, Poll Shows

Washington, Nov. 20.-Out of
every 900 Americans, some IT'S are
opposed to Federal operation of the
poll completed today by Pathfinder,
national news weekly published in
this city.
Conducted on countrywide
basis, the poll asked the question:
EDO you think the government should
run the railroads." In percentages,
the answers disclosed IT'S voting
mo" and only 225 voting eyes"
Many of those interviewed volun-
teered the information that they were
against government operation be-
cause they felt such a step would
lead directly to outright ownership.
Although political affiliations had
little to do with this attitude, Re-
publicans were found to be least in
favor Of government operation, while
those who voted Democratic in 1886
were less positive in their objection.
ut is noteworthy" Pathfinder de-
clared, that the majority of those
questioned were conversant with the
economic importance Of railroads in
the United States. Thanks to the con-
siderable amount that has been writ
ten about it these past few years, the
rail problem is no longer something
known only to few specialists. The
poll clearly indicated a remarkable
public aWareness Of the significance
implicit in such figures as these:
"G) With more miles of track than
9nV other nation earth 100
cent Of the combined world totaD.
the railroad industry Of the United
States represents an investment of
rs billion dollars. CD Because in
surance companies and banks have
invested heavily in rail securities
and stocks, all Americans with in
surance policies and bank deposits
have an indirect interest in the fin
anclal condition of railroads. CD Di-
rectly employing at present about L.
600, goo workers, u. S. railroads have
a daily payroll Of about five million
dollars and pay out approximately
one million dollars in Federal, state
and local taxes every day. CD In
directly employing another million
workers in supply industries, rail-
roads spend an average Of about one
billion dollars year on regular SUD-
ply purchases. And 60 given the
right conditions, Americas railroads
could spend another billion dollars
a year on new equipment With these
facts understood by the majority of
those pOlled the answer to Path
finders question was enphatically
negative"

Question What do you mean by a
"super-fatted" soap? Is there any
difference except personal preference
IN toilet soaps?
Answer IA super-fatted soap is
one in which alkall content has been
reduced to a minimum. Just as some
water is hard and other water soft,
and so is easier on the skin, so soaps
vary, and some lather more freely in
one than in the other. Some toilet
soaps have a vegetable oil base, others
the usual fatty base, combined with
synthetic scent to eliminate the odor
of the rest of the contents, or just put
in for good measure to make them
more pleasant to use. Alkali is very
drying to the skin, therefore those
which have the least in are better to
use for skin health. Don't believe
everything you hear said about toilet
soaps, either for or against one brand
or another.
Question 2-One member of my
family is tall and slim, another short
and inclined to stoutness. What kind
of materials and dresses should we
wear?
Answer 2-Height is always easier
to dress, and slimness can carry to
advantage many fabrics not becoming
to other types. Women who are so
blessed can wear either plain or print
ed fabrics equally well. If they are
too tall they can cut height by wear
ing diagonally figured, striped or
plaid fabrics. In the latter case the
Figured material should be worn a.
bove the waistline. Short tunics, pep
lums, and coat effects also do this.
Women who are short and stoutish
should stick to plain fabrics, or small
figured prints: long lines in both
coats and dresses; wear nothing that
emphasizes the waist-line too sharp
| ly. For daytime street and house
clothes, longer skirts than her taller
sister. All evening clothes are long
this season, so she will be quite all
right on that score. In wearing
stripes, if at all, they should run YER
tically to give the effect of height.
Question 3-What is offended bou-
quet" in a perfume?
Answer 3-One in which the frag-
rance is not that of single note. You
might easily combine roses and vio-
lets and mignonette in bouquet to
either wear or have in your home, or
lilacs, mimosa and honeysuckle, or
sweet peas, heliotrope and jasmine,
but when you lifted them to your nose,
the fragrance would blend, mingle,
and no one odor would be predomi-
nant. But if you took a bunch each
of them separately, of carnations. of
gardenias, or of liliess4of-the-vallev
and inhaled their fragrance, you would
lrnow instantly what each one was.
The same thing is true of perfumes,
although YOU could put very few to
such a test as this.
In addition. there are manv COM
r,e+ely new as we'll as hauntinglv IA
ro;l;ar notes IN perfumes. but when
cdors are combined thew form blend.
These we call blended bouquets.
