ment of empty cars suitable for

enective trom all lines holding in
- t ! .1 . '
excess oi ineir ownersnip 10 xne ter
ritory producing said commodities
for the purpose of immediately
Cloying the presentvand impending
accumulation ot said commodities.
V Seek Car Return.
"Second, that an order be en
tered requiring a systematic return
to the carriers serving said tern
tory of the classes of cars required
for the transportation of said com
modities until said carriers shall
have received and shall retain . 100
per cent of said classes of cars
owned by them; and that the com
mission make said order to cover
such other classes of cars as may
in its judgment be necessary to
meet any present emergency and
future requirement with respect to
Other kinds of traffic."

"We also believe that the carriers
should be furnished with funds to
stioolv themselves with sufficient
(I cars and motive power to meet im
mediate and future needs, the por
lion of the $300,000,000 loan to the
carriers by congress to be used for
equipment purposes is wholly in
adequate. Congress should be en
couraged to make an adequate ad
ditional loan to the carriers re

coercive methods used by some ' of
the representatives of federal re

banks and recited the gun play used
on officials at Wood Cone's bank

emphasizing quality in their materials, are admirably
suited. They're simple, yet graceful in line, with just the
necessary "touch" of trimming to give "character" to the
appearance of every wearer.
We unhesitatingly recommend these Coats to women who
desire garments of style and service at a moderate cost.
Ever reluctant to give up the graceful lines of the Cape, Mi
lady will be overjoyed at the new models for wear over smart
frocks. Voluminous collars, odd draplngs and linings of the
delightful - printed silks distinguish the Capes of 1920.
Duvetyn, velours, tricotine and silken fabrics are used in
obtaining the Cape's becoming silhouette.
The Gingham Frock Deserves Its Popularity .
and its important place in the vacation wardrobe. We are especially proud of the models in this
showing, for they have that something in the past only attributed to frocks of sheerer, more ex
pensive fabric smartness. They are really pretty in their individual stylinp, with their attract
ive patterns and snowy organdy trimmings. And they are so very moderate in price that to own
several delightful models is no hardship on one's purse. .
