Railroads figures that minimum of six
train trips will be required for each
soldier between the time he arrives on
the East Coast, visits home and arrives
on the West Coast for embarkation.
That adds up to 12,5O0,0Oo train trips,
assuming that some men will take less
than the minimum six trips because of
discharge.
Why You Can't Find a Seat
Add to this unprecedented load the
fact that railroads are now carrying
roughly 100000 tons of Army freight
and express per month and moving
about 80 per cent of all Navy freight,
then you have some idea of the task
facing American rolling stock and sound
arguments why you can't find a seat for
that vacation trip or berth in an over
night train from New York to Wash
ington.
And that isn't the entire picture
Passenger traffic on railroads this year
is expected to reach the unheard-of
figure of los ,OOO, 100000 passenger miles.
That is nearly five times the traffic in
1889 and two and one-half times the
load in 1918. The job is getting done
and this is the factor hard to believe
with 80 per cent less equipment than
was used in 1918.

Waves Reach New Milepost as Vital Military Unit
BY Julia Edwards.

The novelty of the uniform has worn
OF. The fanfare has died. Civilians
hardly notice thousands of them shop
ping, eating and playing. The WAVES
will be three years old July 80.
Twenty thousand OF them in Wash
ington will celebrate that day as the
close of the year in which they ceased
being a novelty and became an insti-
tuition.
For the first time on an anniversary,
they can see the end of the war in sight.
Some Navy officers believe peace will
end the corps usefulness. Others al
ready are talking about continuing the
women's reserve after the war
Il hope there will be some place for
them when the war is over" Capt.
Stanton B. Dunlap, commanding off,
Ger of the Anacostia Naval Air Station,
offered without being queried. Then
when we need to build up large or
ganization we will have the groundwork
ready"
Make Service Career
Some WAVE officers have learned in
the last year to like the Navy life well
enough to make the service a career.
The vast majority of WAVES inter-
viewed in the Potomac River Naval
Command, which has the greatest con-
centration in the country, hope the
fourth year of the women's reserve will
be their last in uniform.
ME. I'm going to get married" said
Specialist 2/c Vivianne Lambert, squint-
ing at the Anacostia Air Field from the
control tower. Then she went back to
telling off" the pilots over a radio mi
crophone, telling them when to land
and when to take of.
An increasing number of married
WAVES are leaving the service to raise
families. More expect to get out under
the rule allowing wives of overseas vet
erans to leave.
The Navy Needs Them
The majority. however, are calmly
doing their jobs convinced that the
Navy cannot get along without them for
some time to come.
With 86 600 members now, the WAVES
want 10000 more half of them for Navy
hospitals. Some will fill jobs vacated
by limited servicemen for whom dis
charge provisions have been relaxed.
The WAVES have no figures on their
own turnover nor on the number of
WAVES it requires to run the WAVE
organization. They say they have
actually released 50,500 men for duty
afloat or overseas and have taken over
$1,000 other jobs, many of them created
by expansion of shore establishments.
In Responsible Posts
In the past year. many have stepped
quietly from minor posts into respon-
sible positions.

of a WAVE lieutenant when you see

unloading of freight and serving as
switching crews.
The association says there is an ur-
gent need for 100000 workers, particu-
larly on lines west of the Mississippi.
1t is estimated that $4,000 skilled and
$4,000 unskilled workers are required If
American railroads are to get the job
done. The most pressing needs are for
engineers, firemen, conductors, brake
men, switchmen, hostlers, train dis
patchers, cooks, porters, walters, black
smiths, boilermakers, telegraphers, elec-
tricians, machinists and track workers
and helpers.
Single. Track Areas
There are other factors to bear in
mind when considering the freight
problem, as the flow of raw materials
are shifted from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. In the East there are many
railroads over which traffic can be
routed. In the West there are only
nine transcontinental routes reaching
the West Coast south Of the Canadian
border Long stretches of these lines
are single-tracked.
Warren C. Kendall, chairman of the
Car Service Division of the railroad as
sociation, recently reported that West
ern roads don't have a great lot of
margin capacity" and that he did not
know of "a single car that is now NOV
ing unnecessary material west of the
eastern rim of the Rocky Mountains"
It can see no end of the period in
which we now are-where we have to
get everything we can out of every car
in circulation. This applies to passen-
ger as well as freight cars" he added.

ing out technical assignments. There
are thousands doing routine and some
times tedious work.
In the Photographic Once and in the
Bureau of Ships WAVES work beside
civil service employees.
The WAVES say they fare better than
the Government girls. They have no
housing problems. The food is cheap
and good. Only few complain of a
civilian attitude: THE WAVES are
here to take orders. Give them the
nasty jobs"
The Navy had to use WAVES because
1t could not fill the jobs with civilians,
said 1t. Comdr. Helena Barry ONeill,
personnel officer for 1,10o WAVES sta
toned at the Bureau of Ships.
The Dividends Are Coming In
No WAVE Is assigned to Job that
could be filled by a civilian until civil
service has tried and failed to fill it,
said Comdr. ONeill.
Called upon to keep the Navy going,
the WAVES had to train totally mex
perienced girls. The dividends are
coming in now.
A former physical education teacher,
1t. Frances Lewis decides what equip
ment should go aboard every tender in
the feet and sees that 1t gets to the
port when the ship is launched. Once
an engineer held that job.
When the WAVES were organized,
they were offered three ratings. Today
they have 38 different ratings, plus sea-
men and hospital apprentices.
Without them the photographic Of
fice could not have operated. said Rear
Admiral George Sloan Bryan, its head.
The feet would have stayed in port. It
can't move without maps.
Making Maps
WAVES are making maps from aerial
photographs sent back by Navy pilots
and from soundings made by the fleet.
Their work lis intricate and eye strain
ing Most Of them had an art back
ground but no drafting experience when
they came.
In the worlds most complete photo
graphic laboratory at Anacostia,
WAVES work in the darkrooms, operate
movie projectors, print, polish and edit
movie film.
Artists from Hollywood studios are
linking and painting special effects on
the thousands of drawings required for
animated training films. A WAVE
photographer takes pictures for Navy
:ecords of airplane crashes at the Naval
Station.
Teaching Flyers to Shoot
The WAVES have had no trouble
teaching men how to shoot down Ger
man and Japanese planes since the
Bureau of Aeronautics developed devices
on their synthetic training equipment
for keeping the score, according. to
Comdr. d. L. Hubbard, director of the
program.
One of the many machines operated
by WAVES teaches fighter pilots how to
shoot without going of the ground.
The technique is to coordinate flying
with the stationary guns on the wings.
A fighter pilot has to aim his whole
plane.
The student sits in plane, complete
except for engine, and shoots at enemy
planes darting and diving before him on
a movie screen. Behind him, the WAVE
operates the movie protector and shows
him what he is doing wrong. When he
makes hit, the plane on the screen goes
up in flames.
The WAVES are too busy to worry
what they will be doing when their
fourth anniversary rolls around.

Railroads Working Miracle

This may not be the end of Army
needs There is talk now of giving
the Army another 1000 Pullmans, which
would mean extending the civilian Pull
man travel ban well beyond the present
450-mile limit.
ODT also has served notice on tray
elers using coaches that they may find
trains cancelled at moments notice
as result of Army demands. On Tues
day, all passenger coaches, baggage and
express cars and diners and club cars
we're ordered placed in theoretical pool
to be made available on demand for use
of the armed forces.

When the big liner Queen Elizabeth
docked in New York recently with 1880
veterans of the war in Europe, Ameri-
can railroads within 48 hours provided
81 complete trains to take the men from
the staging area to reception centers.
Those 81 trains were made up of 233
tourist cars and coaches, 81 kitchen cars
and AZ baggage cars.
The Army estimates that in the next
10 months 100000 men will return to
the United States, either to be dis
charged or to proceed to the Pacific after

TO help solue the railroads
naanpoaoer problem the Army
is furIoughing 10000 troops,
many of them former railroad
men.
This past week the War Production
Board granted a high priority rating for
materials and components in the con-
struction of 664 new passenger cars, the
first authorized since the war. Produc-
tion will begin soon. WPB promised, and
will reach the rate of $50 cars per quar-
ter for the first three months of 1916
and 400 cars during the second quarter
of next year.
Will Increase Capacity
Railroad experts in WPB say the new
program will increase rail transporta-
ton capacity by about 100000 pass
enger miles by next July l. Railroad
men hope they don't arrive too late.
Meanwhile, keep asking yourself, when
you start to consider travel, 'Is this trip
necessary just remember that it Is
for thousands of boys going home for
the first time in years, and other thou
sands heading for the Pacific.

First World War, railroads had availa-
Bile $4,000 passenger-carrying cars. In
1918 these trains Travelled 42,676, ,000, 900
lieved they had established record
that would never be beaten.
New Car Construction Frozen
Between the two wars passenger car
numbers dropped to $4,000, even though
for the last five years before this war
there was an annual addition of 300 new
cars When the Japs attacked at Pearl
Harbor, American railroads had on order
another 400 cars. With the exception
of 1900 special troop sleepers built at
the insistence of the railroads by De-
sense Plants Corp. and operated by the
Pullman Co., there has been no new car
construction thus far in the war.
In 1899, passenger traffic was esti-
mated at 22,651 100000 passenger miles.
With virtually the same equipment, rail-
roads in 1914 handled 95 SIS, 900 900 pas
senger miles, more than four times that
of 1889. The 1945 passenger load is ex-
pected to exceed that of 1914 by about
10 per cent.
Is there any wonder that people talk
of miracles in the railroad business?
Last Sunday the Army came into pos
session of 895 additional sleeping cars
for exclusive use of troops. This was
accomplished through the Office of De-
fense Transportation banning sleeping
car travel for hauls under $50 miles.
This gives the armed forces about 5000
sleeping cars or nearly two-thirds of the
total available Pullmans in the United
States.

ahead of this. The
time table provided for arrival at East
Coast ports during June and July of
100000 men, plus 100000 by air. The
actual number returning during this
period will be at least one-third greater.
Peak of Troop Travel
Maj. Gen. C. P. Gross, chief Of Army
transportation, estimates that the peak
Of troop travel in this country will occur
in November when 100000 troops will
be moving. And this does not include
travel by individuals on furlough,
emergency leave, passes or In groups
of less than 40 (the Army considers or
ganized troop movements as involving
more than 40 men, This group may
raise the total to 1000 900 by November
The use of rail facilities for shipping
Army freight also will rise. The peak
is expected next April, when Gen. Gross
estimates the load will amount to H.
100000 tons.
1t is obvious then that the present
pinch in train travel will continue una

to the war with Japan will relieve the
strain. And after that will come the
flow of men back from the Pacific.
Exclusively for Troops
The Association of American Rail-
roads points out that some 5000 coaches,
or 40 per cent of the total, are being
used exclusively for organized troop
movements. Should the Army get an
other 1000 Pullmans, the number of
sleeping cars for troops will total close
to 5000, also, even without the new
construction program.
Railroads have another problem. It's
the inevitable problem of manpower.
This was underscored recently with the
announcement that the Army was fur
loughing 10000 troops, many of them
former railroad men, for period Of so
days to help Western roads to keep
going. The men are being used for
variety Of jobs, including loading and
