WOMEN GROWING TALLER; OUTDOOR LIFE IS CAUSE PHILADELPHIA. Pa.. Jan. 10 Women are growing taller and heavier, according to Dr. R. TaitMcKenzie, director of physical education at the University of Pennsylvania. "Statistics of women's colleges covering a period of 60 years show the average college girl of today is an inch taller than the college girl of 1860," he said.

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Government officials, financiers, railroad men and economists recognize the railroad problem to be one o? the most Important that confronts the nation. At this time plans for'the consolidation of the railroad companies into comparatively few great competing systems are to the fore. Incidentally the Interstate Commerce Commission, acting In accordance with the Cummins-Esch transportation act, is now engaged in the consideration of such a project, with the : possibility that the Commission will -formulate some plan of consolidation within the near future. Such. mergers as would be worked out by the Commission would not be compulsory under the provisions of the transportation act. The roads are left to follow the recommendations of the Commission or not, according to their desire. Cummins Has Bill. It was learned today, however, that Senator Cummins, chairman of the senate interstate commerce committee, has included in the program of railroad legislation whioh he expects to introduce when the new congress comes into existence, next March, a bill to compel the consolidation of railroads into various competing systems along the lines that shall be rec

ommended by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Quite a number of suggestions for the consolidation of the railroads into a few competing systems have already been advanced. Among the plans which the Commission is said to be considering are the following: Plans Advanced. 1. Plan of Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. 2. Plan prepared by E. W. McKenna and L. C. Fritch, vice-president of the Rock Island lines. 3. Plan of F. J. Lisman, proposed in an article in the Railway Age. 4. First plan of Edward Hungerford, published in the Saturday Evening Post. 5. Plan of John E. Oldham, a Boston banker. ' All of these plans provide for competition among the various systems in each section of the country. Suggestions Vary. The number of systems into which the roads would be consolidated under suggested plans vary from eight to twenty-five. Those who are urging the consolidation of railroads Into a limited number of competing systems assert such action will provide the solution of the problem of credits. They contend that consolidation would hasten the necessary readjustments of capitalization of the roads. With uniformity of capitalization, they argue, and with only a small difference in the cost of operation, it would not be necessary to limit the earnings of individual companies in order to create an equality of conditions. Despite the fact that members of congress have no intimation as to what Mr. Harding's policy will be. after he

assumes the presidency, on, the question of the appointment of postmasters for first, second and third class offices, they are being subjected to a terrific bombardment on the part of Republican party workers 'who want these post office jobs passed over to them just as soon as the Wilson administration passes into hitory. "Drive" Impressive. The "drive" being conducted by the Indiana job-hunters is a particularly impressive one. Congressmen, however, have no authority to make recommendations for appointments of postmasters in their districts so long as there exists a preidential proclamation, issued by President Wilson, placing all postmasters of first, second and third clas offices under the civil service, and so long as there remains on the statute books the law which provides that postmasters of fourth class offices shall be under the civil service. Mr. Harding would have authority to annul the proclamation pertaining to first, second and third class postmasters. There are those who doubt he will do so, and there is no reason to believe the law pertaining to fourth class postmasters will be repealed. First, second and third class postmasters are appointed for terms of four years, dating from the time their appointments are confirmed by the senate.
