WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Chief in terest in Washington today centers in the meeting held this morning by the union leaders, and the possibilities of a settlement being effected in the rapidly spreading rail strike. But lit tie hope is entertained, however, that any action may result which will give substantial relief to the situation. With the rail chiefs homeward bound after the publication of their answer to the Harding proposals, no imme- diate steps toward further mediatory steps are contemplated. A general inn } pression prevails that as result Of the opertors' stand the strike is des- tined to be fought to finish, though efforts of the union leaders, it is said, toward effecting a compromise would be continued.

Arriving in Washington, the committee called upon President Harding and delivered the operators reply to the Executives last proposal for settlement of the strike, after which conference was held with the heads of the railroad Brotherhoods.

 The leaders of the labor organiza- tions remained in Washington last night in anticipation of a conference here the following morning. The union leaders have withheld their re- lection of the Presidents proposals.

These are some of the pearls
Of wisdom from Evelynda-
If you want to know why the
producers of plays lose their
sweet dispositions and their Sun
day school vooabularies, get &C
quainted with Evelynda At the
Haw Theatre.
Evelynda is an actress by the
grace of heaven and . peking-
ese. She is an artist who spe-
eializes in the hard roles-such
Is Vienna and Parker House.
She loves her art-but food
comes first.
The only exercise that the
Evelyndas of the theatre get is
walking across the stage. They
arrive in motor cars, all wrapped
up in furs, but not in their work.
They come to rehearsal as II it
were a tea at the Ritz, and they
are surprised when the stage d.
rector seems irritated instead of
handing them a cookie.
When we think of Evelynda in
"The Last Warning" we actually
feel sorry for the producers. Of
course, the Shuberts have. some
thing laid by for a rainy day, and
AL Woods smokes twenty-five
cent cigars, and Arthur Hopkins
has a hand-painted golf bag. and
Flo Ziegfeld's credit is good at
the grocery store in Palm Beach,
and Mike Goldreyer has an over
coat for every day in the week
but the boys pay dearly for these
distinctions.
Evelynda is their jinx.
She is the sort Of person who
thinks she can act, and never
thinks again.
She won't look at a man until
after Dun's and Bradstreet's
have looked at him first.
She has plenty of clothes, but
she never wears many at time.
She has clearinghouse
reach, and a pawn-shop grasp.
She can set a man back two
weeks at one meal.
She won't 60 out alone with a
man, however, unless they're
chaperoned by a bankroll.
When the bankroll is gone the
party is over.
And yet she is a good-hearted
thing. Shed give away her last
years hat.
And educated, too. She be-
lieves that the slaves were freed
by Harriet Beecher Stowe, and
that Abraham Lincoln wrote a
book called From q Log Cabin
to the White House." She thinks
that Harding is a better Presi-
dent than Wilson because he's
not so thin, and that the Ku Klux
Klan Is some new remedy for
sagging muscles. In the course
of time she will discover that
Clemenceau Is no longer a young
man. and that three shows a day
are not given at the Metropolitan
Opera House.
Meanwhile. she's having a
lovely time and really enjoying
life.

Radio
Revelations
TN one apartment house In New

York there are thity-seven
radio receiving machines.
which Is really q small reprssen-
tation when It Is recalled that
there are eighty-six families in
the house.
The other day the messages re-
ceived over tho radio machines
were strangely scrambled and
the owners were mystified. One
OF them going to the roof to ex-
anime his aerial wires discovered
that a new family had mistaken
the aerials for clothes lines and
had hung the weeks wash out on
them. The sounds which
emanated from the receiving
sets downstairs were strangely
punctuated with fiappings.
A similar accident occurred in
a downtown apartment inhabited
by number of chorus girls who,
by mistake, hung their lingerie
out to dry on the radio aeriais.
The music that resulted in the
receiving sets was said to be the
most enhancing jazz that had
been heard since the radio craze
started.
One industrious housewife in
Harlem has connected her radio
set up with her sewing machine
and finds that, during programme
hours, the set operates the ma
chine at varying speeds. During
lecture by Professor Montague
Bhks Of Hokum College, on
"Hog Raising in Argentina" the
machine runs very slow and
sometimes the wheels hardly turn.
However, when there Is an hour
of jazz by some cafe orchestra,
the machine runs at lightning
speed and the good lady has to
be very dexterous to avoid hav-
ing her fingers caught under the
flying needle. She sewed twelve
shirts and three nightgowns for.
her husband In fourteen minutes.

orchestra was playing the POPULAR
favorite, "Hot Lips"
A development Of the radio,
thing Is the new radio hat for
women, It was discovered by .
woman In Flushing, l. I. She,
bought a new hat in . millinery
store and started UP the street.,
wearing it. Soon mysterious
sounds seemed to surround her.
She could hear snatches Of
lecture, fragments of a bedtime
story and bits Of dance music, all
in a strange tumble. She be-
came very nervous as the sounds
followed her and enveloped her ,
wherever she went and whether
she walked fast or slow. She
rushed into an electrical store
and tainted. The proprietor also
heard the strange sounds and
they seemed to emanate from her
hat. He examined this and found
that the wire framework was so
constructed that it formed a
perfect aerial and messages from
5everal broadcasting stations
were received.
A large crowd was attracted
the other day to the clothing
store Of l. Mendelbaum, in the
vicinity Of Delaney street. A
clothing dummy, standing in
front of the store had suddenly
come to life and, though its lips
moved not, it was delivering a
fine address on: 1.-THE Future of
American Drama" After the
crowd of scared people had
grown so large that police inter
ference was necessary, the
proprietor hit the dummy on the
head with a large club and
dragged it into the store. He
stripped the clothing from it
while it was unconscious and,
with the aid of an expert, dis
covered that the wires in the
dummy's body made very good

Home Economics
MRS. P. G. WALKER

The Home Economies De- partment was added to the school this year, the work being related with the Smith, Hughes work.
 This includes a four-year course in cooking and sewing. This first years work has been quite success. The class en- rolled fourteen high school girls who have been greatly interested. Our school has the best equipped work room in the county and the girls enjoy their work.
 We feel that our school, in putting in the Agricultural and Home Economics departments, is doing what all rural schools should do-giving the boys and girls opportunities to make good-and also to create a de- sire to stay on the farms.
 The success of our school along these lines this year is an inspiration to both pupils and patrons to forge ahead and do greater things in the future.

CLOSING EXERCISES
 HELD FRIDAY NIGHT

The closing exercises of the Oil Trough High School were held Friday Evening, May 5. The weather was somewhat unfavorable but the building was filled to overflowing and a large crowd stood on the out side. H. c. Dasher, Professor of Agriculture, was master of ceremonies.
 The interior of the building was beautifully decorated for the occasion.
 The program began at 8::30 and lasted for more than an hour. It was, indeed, an in- spiration to see so many large boys and girls interested in their work, and to hear them read their papers on various interesting topics of the day. The only pity is that more boys and girls have not so good an opportunity thru centralized schools to better prepare them selves for a great and useful life.
 We were pleased to have with Us Judge Gray of Bates vile, who gave a very interest ing address toward the close of the program. His words were full of valp able advice to the young, as he admonished them to prepare for a great and useful life in the future. We are certainly glad to see men like Judge Gray so inter ested in school work.
 The grammar school depart ment meant to render a pro- gram the later part of the week but owing to sickness and bad weather, it was postponed un- til Monday evening. It was very interesting and enjoyed by all.
 The program for the Junior High School was as follows: Opening Song.-Chorus. Salutatory.-Reece Cravens. Quartette.-J. H. Hill, H. J.
 Harris, H. H. Stephens,
 H. C. Dasher.
 Valedictory.-Alfred Neal. Presentation of Certificates.
