Body Co-ordinate With Commerce .Commission to Look After Public Interest. WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Recom mendations of the Association of Rail way Executive for return of railways to private operation under conditions that will insure adequate revenues and maximum service to the public were laid before the .house committee on interstate and foreign commerce today by Thomas Dewltt Cuyler, chairman of the association. . Congress under the plan would direct the Interstate commerce commission to "approve rates which will enable the railroads to be self-sustaining," the rate-regulating authority to be vested exclusively in the central commission and regional subcommissions. There would be no guarantee of income or dividends by the government. Board to Have Broad Powers. Broad regulatory powers would be vested in a federal transportation board to be created as a co-ordinate body with the interstate commerce commission. This board, to be composed of three commissioners appointed by the president, would be charged with "general oversight of transportation from the point of view of the public interest." It would relieve the inter state commerce commission of all functions except rate regulation, valu ation and accounting. In regulating rates the commission would act upon certification by the board from time to time of the amount of revenues needed by a railroad to pay operating expenses and a "fair return" on the value of its properties and main oredit sufficient to attract new capital necessary for the expansion of facili ties. It was believed, Mr. Cuyler said, the railroads should have from $700.- 000,000 to 11,000.000.000 of new capital annually for expansion of facilities to meet the growth of population and industry. Power to Combine Lines. The proposed board also would have authority to distribute traffic when necessary to relieve congestion on certain lines, to require the use of joint terminals when in the public in terest ana in times of national emer gency to consolidate all lines into a unified system. It also was recom mended that congress authorize the consolidation of existing lines into 'strong, competitive systems" when considered to be in the public inter est. The association recommended.

Myrtle L Gist, residing at 326 Chestnut Ave., South Pasadena, Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs. Gist is the wife of a well-known mem ber of . the Los Angeles police force, and her Improvement since taking Tanlac has created a good deal of favorable comment among her neigh bors and friends. "But making me gain thirty-three pounds isn't all Tanlac did for me," continued Mrs. Gist, as she told of the wonderful change. "I had been in dreadfully run-down condition for three years and finally suffered a complete physical breakdown. I had no appetite and the little I ate didn't agree with me. I was so dreadfully nervous I could get no re-tful sleep and would often lie awake all night long worry ing over my condition. Practically all my strength left me and 1 lost weight until I was almost a shadow. "My condition finally got so bad they sent for my mother in Oregon to come here and stay with me and when she got here I was down in bed hardly able to raise my head from the pillow. Mother said she had several friends In Oregon who had taken Tanlac with wonderful results and she got me bottle of the medicine. It seemed to help me from the very start and In a few days I started to get hungry. Then I began eatln,; nourishing food and could feel my strength rapidly return ing. I began to r-leep soundly and would wake up in the mornings feeling rested and refreshed and I soon was able to walk about the house. I im proved every day and now I feel sim ply fine, have a splendid appetite and can eat anything I want and enjoy it without any bad after effects. As I' said before, I have actually gained thirty-three pounds and for the first time in many months I am able to do my ovii housework without any trou ble. I now feel so happy over my won derful Improvement that I just get out in the yard with my two children and romp and play with them and enjoy it thoroughly. I will never cease prais ing Tanlac for the wonderful change it has brought in my life." Tanlac is sold lr Portland by the Owl Drug Co. Adv.

The Oregonian Announces for ' Publication Beginning Sunday, September 7 General Ludetidorffs Story of the World War It Is Not a Defense or Justification of Germany's Crimes It Is a Frank Confession of the Most Colossal Failure of Might Against Right in the World's History. His Revelations Will Startle the World Ludendorff, arch-Teuton militarist, admits that f rom 1916 on the German cause was hopeless. He lays bare the impotence and weakness of both the German armies and the imperial statesmen. The Teuton side of the war has been shrouded in mystery and up to the present time, no one who knows has spoken. We know so much of our own side of the great struggle. Germany was so silent about her internal troubles and defeats, always emphasizing her temporary successes that it seemed at times as if the balance of victory was all on her side. But Ludendorff discloses the real condition of Germany just before and during the war. His story will be complete the his tory of every battle and campaign. .
