CHILDREN CAVORT
 ABOUT WHITE HOUSE
Egg Rolling Festivities On Lawn Re- sumcd for First Time Since
 Back In 1917.

.-
 Washington. March 2S-The young sters of Washington took possession of the White House lawns today for the first Easter egg rollings since 1917. All the kids of the city were free to come and go at will in Pres ident Harding's backyard for the whole day and they poured dowr, every street and by every car line, each armed with a basket of colored eggs to deluge the great sweep of lawn in a flood of laughing, shouting and growing childhood.
 Kids of every age and color appar- ently seized the opportunity. It was their day and long before the big iron gates swung back to admit them and the presidents own band, the Marine band, tuned up to help things along for the presidents guests. there was noise and excitement around each en- trance.
 The grownups were not invited. They could get by the guards only as humble attendants of the youngsters but there were thousands during the day who lined the fence and looked smilingly over at the rioting groups on the big lawns.
 The weather man had predicted a sudden drop in the summer-like tenn perature but he was good natured about it and held off. giving the youngsters fine, bright weather with which to open the frolic.

HARVARD FOOTBALL.
Head Coach Fisher Looks Over Squad at Beginning of Spring Practice.


 at Beginning of Spring Practice. Cambridge, Mass, March 2S.-Head Coach Robert T. Fisher surveyed the prospects for the Harvard football eleven of next fall when spring prac- tice for the gridiron squad began to- day. He found a likely backfield in the making, but limo full of holes Of the 50 men who reported their in- tention of taking the three weeks drill, most were candidates for line positions and Fisher said he would devote much of his time to them.
 The Crimson spring season this year is starting later and will be shorter than in recent years making it possible for Captain Keith Kane of the eleven to report for crew ac- tivities and possible place in the varsity boat where he rowed last year. .@s+

BODY DISCOVERED
 BENEATH SIDEWALK
Nocturnal Visit of Woman in Chicago to Improvised Crypt Discloses
 Another Mystery Case.

Another Mystery Case.
 Chicago, March 2S.-The midnight visit of a we'll dressed woman to a sidewalk crypt resulted in the dis covery early today of the body of an unidentified man who had been dead about two months. In his hand he held a rosary.
 While Walter Jonas. a night watch man at factory on the northwest side of the city was making his rounds at midnight, he saw a woman ap- proach the sidewalk that adjoins a vacant lot and which is elevated about ten feet above the lot. The woman stopped, scraped away quantity of cinders and stones from the embank- ment and crawled under the sidewalk. When she disappeared, Jonas sought a policeman and returned to the hole. The policeman found the mans body. The woman had de- parted. The police are searching for her.
 The head of the body rested upon a parcel of mems apparel wrapped in the paper of a fashionable store on Michigan avenue. Doctor. Edward Hartigan said he had been dead about two months and was S5 years of age. The police expressed belief that he had been murdered but Dr. Hartigan said the marks found on his skull might have been caused by contact with cinders.
