WITH NEW BODY Democratic Leaders Virtually Give Up Hope of Holding Necessary Hearings Washington, Dec. 5. The next Congress, a Republican one, will de termine the future of the railroads. This was assured when Democratic Senate and House leaders, aware of the legislative task ahead of them, v irtually gave up hope tf being able to hold the necessary hearings In rommittee to thresh the matter out thoroughly In both branches of Con gress and to pass a bill to cover the railroad situation. It was considered by these leaders that as many big appropriation and reconstruction measures as well as Ihe revenue bill, on which there Is a bitter fight, will have to be passed upon between now and March 4, ma ture deliberation could not bo given to the railroad problem which it de serves. There Is a possibility that the Sen to interstate commerce committee will begin probing into the railroad situation. If it does the railroad question will go no further this ses sion. So far as the House is con :erned it Is the intention there to let the railroad matter rest until the next Congress is called.

ROYER WARNS OF GROWINGDANGER Crowds at Christmas Time Are Liable to Spread In fluenza Abroad in Land Shop early, avoid crowds and nvert Ihe dunger of contract ing Influenza, Is tho warning sound ed to tho Christmas shoppers of the state by Dr. B. Franklin Royer, Acting Commissioner of Health. With tho approach of tho holiday shopping season, said Dr. Royer, too much stress cannot bo laid on tho necessity for tho public to avoid crowding*, in the Btores, many of which are poorly ventilated at best. Tho influenza danger has not passed and reports from various sections of the state show that the disease 1B continually flaring up in many communities and will probably be with us throughout the entire win ter. I doubt if there is a com munity, large or small, in the Com monwealth that can truthfully bnaßt that it is absolutely free from this disease. Influenza is spread largely by droplots caused by sneezing, cough ing and spitting and it is a disease spread in crowds and in poorly ven tilated places. Therefore, the un usual and unnecessary crowding so common tn the stores during the Christmas shopping season is sure to result In an increased number of influenza cases unless the people will protect themselves. Let the Christ mas buying begin at once. Those persons who are habitually eleventh hour shoppers will do well to re member this warning. The store keepers should co-operate by be ginning at once to display their special holiday goods and to hire a sufficient sales force to handle the Increased business without tax ing the capacity of their clerks and necessitating their Risies being crowded with anxious people. A recurrence of the recent terr ible epidemic would be a sad \ end for the approaching holiday sedson, and this can be prevented if the people will avoid conditions which tend to spread the Influenza. Show Little Desire For Old Home Towns Cnnip Meade, Admiral Md., Dec. 5. Having failed to see France many men ure acting upon an impulse to try Baltimore, Philadephla and Wash ington flrst as a .place for employ ment rather than to go directly back to their home towns. Of 600 who bought tickets 137 decided to go to destinations other than those from which they came. By doing this they had to pay the full rate. That so many men, rejoicing in the opportun ity to go hack home, should decide to venture elsewhere was a surprise to many. There are men from every state in camp now, many especially from the far west and far south. It is certain that many home folks are going to be disappointed.
