President IIarding's Railroad Confer,
enCe

A great deal of interest Is centered in
the call for conference OF the rail-
road officials from President Harding
Those railroad officials spoken to had no
definite idea yesterday as to the matters
that will be brought up at the meeting,
but they generally assume freight rate
reduction will be suggested and dis
cussed with the apparent view Of hav.
ing schedules on various classes of
freight voluntarily reduced by the trans
portatton companies. and have this step
followed by wage reductions and other
measures expected to reduce materially
operating costs.
There IS confident BELIEF among the
railroad officials some good will come ont
Of the conference and that it will serve
in all events to clear up some Of the
cloudy points in the transportation con .

the swallow. The goddess finding her

year, at Easter, lays the gaily colored
eggs that are the symbol Of the awak-
enlng Of earth and the renewal of life.
This Is the neurological explanation
of the connection of Easter eggs and

stories telling why the sportive hare
is responsible for the brlght-hued eggs
at this spring festival.
