MANY SUBJECTS
BEFORE MEETING
New England Railroad Conference Con-
siders Transportation
Problems.

Boston, Sept. 25.--Railroad operation
of steamship and trolley lines, uniform
railroad legislation and other transpor-
tation problems were discussed yester-
day by the New England railroad con-
ference, consisting of members appoint
ed by the governors of each of the New
England states.
The discussion indicated, according to
one who participated, sentiment in
favor of the retention by the New Eng
land railroad system of the Long Island
sound steamship lines on the ground
that passenger and freight traKc could
be better handled and with better con-
troll, the public interests would be better
protected
What New England shippers should
do with reference TO a line OF steamers,
operating through the Panama canal to
Pacific ports, was another subject
touched upon. 1t was asserted that
freight could be shipped from New Eng
land ports to Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco in l4-knot steamers in II days,
at cost of SO ton. This, it was said,
would be in half the time and at half
the cost of rail transportation,

HOPE TO WIND UP TO-DAY.
And Present Tariff Bill to Congress
Tomorrow.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 25.--Great in
terest centered to-day about the de-
cision of the tariff conferees to exempt
from the income tax that portion OF the
premiums on mutual life insurance poll
ces returned by policy holders as divi-
dends. Such action was unexpected.
Under the decision reached last night
all life insurance companies win be
treated similarly. No part of the in
come will be exempted except that part
of the premium returned as dividend or
rebate.
The conferees to-day took up the final
work on the bill, hoping to finish late
to- day, so that matter could be laid be-
fore Congress tomorrow.

PRESENTS BOUGHT FOR SHOW
Exploiting Ones Own Vanity in Be-
stowal of Gifts is Poor
Policy.

The most miserable Christmas pres
emit, the kind that no human being is
rich enough to afford, is that which
is bought to make show, to exploit
ones own vanity.
When you are tempted to buy a
show Off present, remember that the
recipient has some rights. One who
understands will be made unhappy
by that kind of gift. You know your
self that when you receive a pres
ent that represents a great sacrifice
on the part of the giyer it makes
YOU feel miserable, even when the
right spirit is behind it.
The cost in money is about the
poorest of measures for any kind of
gift The thoughtfulness in IT, the
recognition of desire for things I'M
asked for. the affection that goes with
il. counts for much more. Every
Christmas each of US receives a mes
sage that means more than the most
expensive gift. Yet we forget that
sometimes in the perplexing selection
OF presents for others.-Woman'
