Jo a general Inclination to make the

course. Aspiring townrd greater clean-
"'ness we tend 11 1 the same time (If there
'is anything In nroverbs) toward creater
godliness, which makes It look as though
we were getting somewhere, nil around.
Locally, however. It Is becoming a
matter of considerable concern whether
those of us who live In hotels and apart
ments will be able, without great effort,
to keep from slipping back toward the
hebdomadal tub of a generation ago. Jt
Is the war, as the French say. Hotel
and apartment owners. In congress as

maximum number of bath towels to he
Issued, or rationed, If you prefer the
more timely phrase, to each guest. More

ELECTRIC RAIL LINES
FAVORED BY M'ADOO
Most Economical Transporta
tion Power, Says Secretary.
Loan Outlook Bright
By the United Press
WuxhliiKton, Aug. 12.
Advocating electrification of rail lines
as the cheapest and most economical
transportation power. Secretary McAdoo
today returned to his varied duties after
two months' travel for his health
McAdoo stated that his western trip
convinced him that "If tho Government
had permanent control of the rail lines,
electricity would be used as motive
power In every Instances where It could
be obtained." He added that the prob
lem of developing current by water
power was one of the most Important
in. the nation. Only the fact the rail
roads are held under temporary Federal
direction forbid the expense of harnesj
ing the nation's streams, he e.plalned.
The Secretary's first official statement
forecasts over" helming success for the
fourth Liberty Loan. .
"America Is In the best condition she
ever has been to meet the war's flnan
c'al demands," the tecretarj' said "Her
! crops are excellent. There are ample
funds In virtually every community to
move them, and If the money Is not
there the Government will see that such
funds are available."
Revenue legislation will require the
secretary's immediate consideration, he
said! After he has thoroughly ac
quainted himself with the status of the
revenue program nnd the country's
financial nH'ds, announcement of the
amount and terms of the fourth Liberty
Loan will be made, Ml'Adoo concluded.
Anxious to Fight Germans
Henry Starr, leader of the famous
"Starr" gang, and now
serving a sen
tence of twenty-five years in the
Oklahoma Stat penitentiary at Mc
Alester, for train robbery, said recently
that If the Government would furnish i
him with a .44 Winchester nnd send blni
to France, he would guarantee to kill '
one German a day. "And If I don't,"
said Starr, "I would be willing to re-'
turn and serve out my time."
