The failure of the conference at
Washington of the presidents OF
eleven large eastern railroads to
reach a conclusion upon the pro-
posed redivision of freight revenues
between trunk lines west of the Hud-
son river and the New England
roads is disappointing, but not final.
A second conference will begin at
New York tomorrow. to which the
heads Of all railroads affected by the
proposed changes have been invited.
and at which there will be a chance
to compare and verify the exhibits
of the carriers. If current reports
are correct, nine out of the eleven
presidents who participated in the
Washington conference were ready to
make satisfactory agreement. and it
is possible that the objections of the
others may be removed at the later
conference.
The actual decision of the question
involved rests, Of course, with the in

A New Department.
washington PoSt)

The House committee on education.
Of which Representative Fess is
chairman, in it's report recommending
the passage of bill for the estab-
lishment of a Federal department of
education presents some striking
arguments in support of the propo-
sition. It places the United States as
ninth in rank among the civilized
nations in the matter of education,
which will come as a surprise to a
majority of the people, who held the
idea that this country was leader
in literacy. 1t also quotes former
Secretary Of the Interior Franklin K.
Lane to the effect that illiteracy alone
is responsible for an economic loss OF
1926, 900, 900 year in this country.
1t is carefully explained that the
pending bill does not attempt to. set
up standards or to exercise any au-
thority over the conduct of the
schools. 1t seeks through govern
ment cooperation and aid to encour-
age education throughout the coun-
try and leaves to the States all de-
tails with respect to courses of study,
plans and methods. Nor does it APP
propriate any money, but fixes limit
of $4,000 900 year which Congress
may appropriate, or any part of 1t,
and the States can only secure por-
tions of an appropriation by comply
ing with the provisions of the act
after the method provided in the Fed
eral good roads act.
For years there has been an insist
ent demand for the establishment OF
q department of education in the gov
eminent, with view to coordinating
the Federal agencies already exist
ing for the furtherance of education
and to extend the scope Of the work.
Whether the impressive report of Mr..
Fess' committee will have the effect
of bringing this movement to fruition
remains to be seen. 1t has a strong
appeal, but the demand for economy
carries great weight with Congress.
Doubtless much will depend upon
what Mr. Harding has to say upon
the question of education and public
welfare in his inaugural address.

Racing in Bronze Age,
Archaeologists Now Say

That horse racing In England ante
dates that OF ancient Greece and Rome
and goes back to the bronze age is the
conclusion Of a special Investigator who
is writing a series OF articles on Stone
henge for the London Times. This
writer believes the mysterious monu-
ments on Salisbury Plain mark the re-
mains Of what was once the most prom
inent centre of inhabited Britain and
that the peculiar earthwork known "a
the Cursus, near by, was, as It's name
implies. a race course where primitive
man tested the speed OF the prehistoric
British horse. The Cursus Is about n
mile and half In length--Derby dis
tance-with risin gground at either end
and at the sides, which, this writer sug-
gests, afforded clear view to many
thousands of spectators. At the west
ern end there Is n loop which may have
enabled the competitors to turn and
cover the course a second time.

Fred Post Spent Two Years
Breaking and Making
Belle Of All.
BY GURNEY c. CUE.

When Louis Z. Stoddard played the
periods out Of seven at the first interna-
tional polo match In England week
ago 1t was demonstrated that the twen-
tieth century race horses is not without
stamina. Polo men here believe he did
the same thing in the second match on
Wednesday, but Capt. II. Fl. Holmes, in
reporting this game for THE NEW YORK
HERALD, did not repeat his admirable in
| novation Of giving the name Of each
pony ridden by the American players,
so that no word has yet been received to
confirm this belief Fred Post of East
Williston, i. l., who developed Belle Of
All, says. however that In 1919 Mr..
Stoddard played the mare In three
periods of every game in which he took
part, and he does not doubt the New
Haven horseman has done the same
thing again IN the cup matches.
Belle Of All is registered in the Amer
lean Stud Book for thoroughbred race
horses. and is by Cunard out of Black
Mary, by imported Star Shoot. BY an
interesting coincidence. she was foaled at
FL r. Bradley's Idle Hour Farm. near
Lexington. where Behave Yourself. win
ner Of this years Kentucky Derby, was
bred. Mr.. Bradley brought her to New
York with his race horses In 1916, when
she was three years old. Being deemed
too small for racing-she Is q scant 1871
hands high-she was sold to Howard
Phipps OF Westbury, L. l., to be de-
veloped for polo. Mr.. Phipps found her.
as he thought. incorrigible. and gave her
away to a carpenter in Westbury, who
got enough of her IN just one week, and
pasesd her along to Joseph Murphy, who
trains for e. d. Morgan. Murphy, too.
was ready to sell after weeks ex-
perience with the self-willed, headstrong
huzzy, and no went to Mr.. Post to find
buyer ..H
Knowing all about the mare and real
izing that II she could be thoroughly
broken and hammered she might be a
champion Mr.. Post paid Murphy $3.50
for her. For a month or more he fed her
carrots and sugar TO get on the good
side Of her, but 1t was no go. Whenever
he rode her on the polo field she would
bolt or stop and refuse to play. Pa
tience and kind treatment having failed
to reform her, he finally gave her what
he called a good tanning. From that
day on she was a different mare. She
recognized that he was boss and she
began to show the qualities which have
made her queen of the polo field. It
required time, however, and a lot of
time, to make her the finished player
she Is to-day. At the end of year Mr..
Post sold her to Mr.. Stoddard, who left
her in his hands for another year OF
schooling. She was played in slow
games. always with great care not to
handle her roughly nor rouse her temper,
and she continued to improve until she
was a match for any pony at Meadow
Brook.
Though the plain looking little thor
oughbred stands scant 15.1 hands and
weighs less than 1000 pounds she could
never be worn down even when her 100
pound owner was riding her in three pc
riods of every game in which he played
Mr.. Post says she Is as fast as a bullet
and can get away like a shot out of a
gun. Her conformation and quality en-
abled her to take first prize In her class
