Ol'TIXO r<m NKW rOBK'S POOR.

“Cheer I’p" Slugs (bo North River to Ibe TeiieniCDt Dwellers. You may know H.e great river tip and jdown with an intlmaey determined by your occupation, your proylnquity and your soul, says the New York Herald. You may know It where It Is th" Hudson, with headlands overlttnplng blue on blue, or where It ts called North River, because it is on the west, and Is no more a river but a tide cut by a thousand keels. You may know It luxuriously from beneath the n*«'iiing of a white gilt yacht, or hurriedly from the crowded deck of a ferryboat, or with the hungering thiill of the homeromar when the tired ship Is warped into her pier. There are many ways to know the river, but you may never know It deeply enough to say "Rod made It" until y ou see It and feel It and breathe it. from the ratling of a recreation pier on a muggy summer night, backed by a couple of thousand of the people who manage somehow to be cheerful though they will never get a right good rust till they are dead. Take a poor, sodden, pulpy disintegrating lump of human flesh, with the soul of It very still and feeble Inside, drag It out to a wooden place over the water, away from the dishes and the suds and the stench of gas aud metal, tilow clean, fresh air upon It, and brush Its deadened nerves with a quickening bar of music Would you believe It? The lump has come to life again, and moves and even smiles, and before the evening passes will be planning another day’s work for to-morrow. The pavllllon i« filled. Every seat r.round the bandstand Is taken and benches by the railings. Scores of people are walking arm In arm from end to end of the long, coot tunnel In the thick, hot nipht. Manners ure nu free os the air. It’s "Katie” here "Billy" there, and nowhere any affectation or pretence. That Is worth noting, that for downright simplicity

a recreation pier on a sweltering night makes an admirable model for the world. These are working people, into whose every pleasure a certain sadness creeps because there Is so little time between a toil and a toll, and so seldom any real rest until the end. It Is a complicated mixture of races on the pier. If there Is any perceptible preponderance you would say It Is Irish. But you have no sooner reached that conclusion than Italy overwhelms you with volubility and vowels. A liobrew family, aloof and happy, has a bench close up to the music. The boy of ten and the girl two yea-s younger detach themselves, with parental permission, and go for a promenade. Nothing could he grander than the assumption of masculine authority which the little chap assumes. He puts out h‘s chest lifts his head snd smiles upon all the world as he escorts his sister through the crush. "I don'd see der Rosenlobens here to-nlghd," says the mother. "I vondei " "Vy. don’d you know, mamma?" shouts the eldest boy. “Last nlghd, when dey vas here In der preezes, dh*r bouse vas burgled, an * 1 * * * * * * dey ganuot afford no recreation* no more.” Uimentation.s follow till tho nuslc renews, and t.ll else Is forgottna There are children of many i'»ro» and many degrees of cleanliness. Most of them are in rags, most of them ate pale, but all are self-con-tnlnoil and hold. The toils and perils of the water front graduate them early Into life. There is a boy with (•ue arm missing. You will see many like him on the west side. Such a procession of childhood along the pier! Here is a stanch, •mall man of nine, limping with a stone bruise, marching past like n Teterua in a Grand Array parade. Another, with the wistfullost face Rnd the oddeit covering of rags, has certainly stepped out of one of J. O. Brown’s pictures for a rest from that eternal pose. There are notably few men In the assemblage You ask one of the uniformed guards where the men are and he Jerks hi* hi-nd to one side toward the river front. “They’re mostly up there In the ialoon» Jawh}'," he explain*

Greater Efficiency Enabled Railroads to Meet Country’s Growing Demands. The American railroads are more than one-third of the railways of the world. The truffle hauled on the rail ways of the United Suites Is now three times us great as it was twenty years ago. In four months now the railroads carry us much freight and us many passengers as they did then in a year. In the three months alone of the harvest movement in 11)11) the truffle equaled that of ilo* whole year of iv.lt>. In 181)8 freight ton miles carried by the railroads of the country were more than 100,000,00»,000 a year. In It) 10 they were more than ‘J.'O.I•00,000,1>00, In 191.1 more than 100,000.000,000 and in 1018 more than 400,OOP,000.000. Altliough the railway mileage Inerensed o’ ly about 65 per cent since l'*'.)0, Irn provements In trucks, terminals, equipment, etc., have been so marked that the volume of goods carried (measured in the mimhcr of freight tons earned one inih*) Increased more Umn live times from 1800 to 1017. Increased Efficiency. Taking account of both freight and passenger service, the railroads in I’.MIO hauled 1150,000 traffic units (freight tons curried one mile, plus passengers carried one mile) far each railway employee. By 1017, the last year of private operation of the railroads prior to the entry of the United States Into the war, that l'.>,000 hud beet) increased

Tin* following table shows the Increase in efficiency <>f American ntilrnmls since 1000, which enabled the railroads to keep pace with the growth

of the country:

Ton miles Increased UMKi Passenger miles Increased.. ITO'T) Truckage Increased 50% Cars and engine Increased.. 75% Workers Increased S5% Output per worker Increased iit)% Average train load Increased 110%

These figures show that the traffic hauled by the railroads of the country has Increased more titan three times as fust us tlie trackage, more tliau twice ns fast as the equipment and more titan twice as fast as the number of workers. This has been made pns slide by far sighted Investment of new capital to increase the efficiency of the transportation fueilities and thereby enable the railroads to Increase tin amount of truffle handled and reduce the amount of labor required to bundle It.

Urge Adequate Rates. In a resolution adopted by the Assn elation of l.lfc Insurance presidents tin* heads of the country’s large Insar a nee companies express their attitude toward the railroad situation as follows : "llehaliilltutlon of the railroads and establishment by law of rates adequate io provide for the present and future detnnnds of our growing commerce aud to stabilize the* credit and securities of the roads.’’

Protection for Public. Tin* executive cotmeil of the National Association of Credit Men in a public statement on the credit situation of the eomitry says: "Tin* council In Its consideration of the transfer of the railways to private control felt that It Is of (lie highest Importance tlint the railways be protected front the dangers of receivership and the piddle assured against uuin tomipted set vice.”

Large Capital Expenditures Required. Says Hines—Impossible to Do All Now. In order to keep pace with the growth of business and production in this country and the demand for Increased transportation facilities at* enormous amount of railroad work must ho done In the next few years which will require the investment of billions of dollars of new money. This is essential not only to maintain the j railways nt their normal high standard : of service and efficiency, hut also to make up for ordinary expansion and Improvement lus'ils on existing lines i which were Interrupted by the war | and to a large extent deferred alto- '

get her.

Railroad managers reallz.e that even If the necessary new capital was avail- j able it would be practically a physical | Impossibility for the railroads to accomplish any large part of this delayed and accumulated work during the present year. Consequently the most vital needs of the railroads will receive lirst consideration in the plans for the Immediate future so that the : public demands in the months of heaviest traffie may be served as efficiently , ns possible. Vast Amount of Work to Be Done. Walker I' I lines. Director General ] of Railroads under government control, emphasized this task facing the railroads after their return to private i operation in a letter to Senator Albert i B. Cummins, cliairtunn of Senate Inter- i state Commerce Committee, and Rep- ! resen’itlve John .1. Kselt, chairman of the House Committee on Interstate and | Foreign Commerce. Mr. Hines pre | sented this phase of the railroad probI cm to them in urging the necessity for pressing the railroad legislation j and to point out Unit delay would "sc- ; rlously impair the public service by | virtually suspending improvements aud the acquisition of equipment." “In order to keep abreast of tin* , growtti of business in this country, ’ wrote Mr. Hines, "It Is indispensable I that railroads should continue to spend I large sums in the acquisition of new equipment, tin* enlargement and unith'ii- { tlon of terminal* and the construction j of additional and the enlargement of | existing shops, engine houses, turn- ! tables, etc., and In the carrying for- i wiird of normal programs for the revl- ! slon of grades, eonstruetion of additional main line tracks, longer and more numerous passing tracks, etc. “A vast amount of work now remains to bo done,” he added, "which the Intervention of the war has necessarily delayed and accumulated, and the result is that during the year 1920 J very large capital expenditures ought to be made to make up for the Interruptions inevitably due to the war and to prepare the railroads to serve adequately the Increased traffic throughout 1 the country. "In the year nr two prior to the beginning of federal control lids work I was largely arrested by Hit* difficulties | of securing imiterkils mid labor und { also by llie difficulty of securing new capital. During the year BUN lids work was largely restricted to things whloli could he promptly done und which would have a relation to winning the war und also restricted by the rear city of materials. The result was that comprehensive programs for developing the railroads were largely Interrupted. “During the calendar year 1919 there has been unavoidably an almost complete stoppage of all these matters be cause of the prospect cf early tormina I tlon of federal control and the resulting Indlspcsition on the part of Congress to make appro,T iationt."

THE WRINKLE MOSLEM. Vexing Lines in the Face Due tc Many Causes and an Index of Character^-The Finger Tips Offer Will Smooth Them Out—Sun anc Wind Made Wrinkles. The wrinkle problem Is the most serious one a woman ever has to solve^Jn taking care of her good looks. Even the weight question is simple compared to it, for whereas a woman can always control her pounds it is not always that she can subdue her wrinkles. Wrinklfs come into a woman's face at varying times in her life. There ate children who show wrinkles between che eyes. These are almost always due to defective eyesight, and If the eyes are properly attended to the wrinkles will go. Wrinkles can frequently be counted In the forehead of a girl of 18 and the debutante when she stands by the side of her mother shaking hands may have wrinkles travelling across her brow. These are the questioning wrinkles, the Hues that come from peering into the future. At 25 most women have wrinkles; at 30 almost all women have them. At 40 wrinkles may be said to be universal, and it is not until she has passed the 40 mark and begins to long to look young again that the average woman realizes that it is the wrinkles that make her look old. There are smiling wrinkles and wrinkles of character and beauty, so It is said, but no one believes it. In the eyes of the world all wrinkles are ugly. Wrinkles come In the forehead from various causes. One of these is tight shoes. But on a shoe a number too short or a letter too narrow and, the forehead will begin to wrinkle. Tight shoes are responsible for tha set lines around the mouth as well as for the deep wrinkles between the eyes. The woman who has indigestion will have sacs under her eyes and little furrows at the corners. The woman whose head aches all the time will have furrows stretching upward from the corners of her mouth to her

ears.

Then there are the lines that run up and down between the eyes. These lines are caused by disappointment, had temper and all the other disagreeable thinps. The forehead Is a groat index to character. If your forehead Is furrowed It Is pretty safe to say that your disposition Is furrowed also. There are wrinkles that are very d *t) but can be taken out easily. Sun “i inkles, which are caused by a drive in the sun without suitable protection, ran he taken out in a night. The same is true of wind wrinkles, blown into the face on a rough day. They can be taken out with the linger tips and massage cream. There is a woman whose skin is pink as a rose leaf and as thin as paper. It Is always out of repair, for the reason that It is so delicate. Yet • he roaches, drives, walks, golfs and docs other athletic things without regard to her skin, because she knows she can easily cure It. Her greatest remedy Is cream of milk. When she comes back at night from an outing she has brought to her a bowl of real cream. With it ate a basin of hot water and a little •oft white facial scrubbing brush. With these the woman repairs her damaged skin. With the hot water she daubs i,er face, putting It on gently with the brush. She does not scrub, but applies the hoi water, leiting It trickle off her face into the basin. She thus beats her skin thoroughly. Next comes the application of cream. Taking a palmful of it she spats It on her face until her warm

■ kin I* covered with It. She now lies back upon the cushions to let the cream dry on the face. It takes ■ bout three minutes. She applies more cream, this time massaging it In and particularly going over the wrinkles which looked •o deep and menacing. It is the work of perhaps ten minutes all told, but it ts pleasant and cooling and the results are satisfactory. Finally the cream is lightly dashed off with the hot water, and then her face is ready for Us cloud of powder. If a wrinkle remains in the forehead or around tho mouth It gets another dose of cream, and the finger tips travel gently over It, sending the cream Into the countenance. By dinner time her face is dear and smooth not a wrinkle remains. The wrinkles that run around the mouth are of an entirely different nature. They are the wrinkles very likely of age. and it is more difficult to take them away. These mark# must be treated over night. The woman with these liner around the mouth and perhaps a network extending up to the top of the ears must go to work upon them with all diligence. Night Is the time and tho best hour is the retiring hour. The secret lies in nibbing the wrinkles in the right way. One’s skin Is like fur to a certain extent, for there is a right wev to mb and a wrong way. The :.t way is across the wrinkles, so that they are not made deeper. The ugly furrows that sometimes con.i* between the eyes can bo treated with strips of plaster, whi. h will keep the skin stretched for a while and so give It a chance to recover Its strength, or one can have tbim tubbed out with little roller*
