Oenernl Hlnes, In what he termed
"valedictory comments"' on theerieraj
railroad situation before the National
Press Club. He counseled public pa

lie said, the prospect of successful res

Mr. Hlnes plans to retire as director
general next week, nnd therefore, he
said, he could tpeak with "a reasonable
degree of detachment" wltn respect to
railroad problems.
The principal problem Is the broad
question of financing, Mr. Hlnes said.
He estimated the annual needs of Jhe
roads "conservatively" at .$1,000,000,

facilities nnd the general rehabilitation
of the properties.

Her Utmost for Philadelphia
Mayor Moore Says :
The agencies of Philadelphia are not sufficient
to do any part of the work that this great insti
tution (Voung Women's Christian Association)
is doing and therefore the city must depend on
public-spirited citizens to help this organization
which does so much for the city and public at
large. We hava had a great many drives but
this one is a basic one. The Y. W. C. A. is an
institution whose ideal is the preservation and
protection of the lives of young women, those
who are going to bring up the young and upon
whom we depend for the future of the country,
and is worthy of our support. The work of the
Y. W. C. A. is of the greatest value to human kind.
The Y. W. C. A. has $600,000 to go to
reach its goal of $1,000,000
