President Austin as "the most sue
cessful in the history of the col
lege," commencement exercises were
held this morning at the Oklahoma
College for Women. Seventeen stu
dents received degrees.
Beauty" was the subject of the
commencement address, delivered
by DR.. r. S. Hyer, president of the
Southern Methodist University, Dali
las, Tex. "The most beautiful thing
in the world" said DR.. Hyer, as a
pure, white human soul" To have
a pure white human soul, he de-
clared, one must have faith, cour-
age, knowledge, bravery, virtue,
self-restralnt, Godliness and kind
ness.
He dealt at length on faith, de-
claring that Rockefeller's faith in
oil enabled that man to garner In
his millions; that Carnegie's faith in
steel was the road that led him to
financial success.
DR.. Hyer pointed to the worlds
rapid advancement and declared
that one must be alert to succeed.
He declared that Edison has modi-
fled the adage, Success comes to
those who wait" to read that Sue
cess comes to those who hustle
while they wait" He urged that the
graduates keep up their love for
studies and books; that desire for
knowledge should not end with grad
uation.
Dr. Hyer discussed the religious
phase of life. Christian principles
must be a part of u.s." he said.
The speaker talked in conversa-
tional tone, addressing his remarks
directly to the students. The talk
was a comparatively short one, but
well delivered and to the point.

ates marched across the stage where

tiOn rings.

mencement, the life teachers certifi-
Gates were presented by President

rell, was given by Rev. Samuel Pear
son, pastor of the Congregational
church here. Degrees were con-
ferred and certificates presented af-
ter the commencement address.

Rate Slice Ordered.
(By The United Press.)

Washington, May PA sweeping
reduction in freight rates through
out the country was ordered today
by the Interstate commerce commits.
sion.
The reductions are to be effective
July 1.
The reductions ordered will cut
the present rates about ten per cent,
the decision of the commission
stated.
The commission also declared
that railroad rates in the future
would be based on return of 3-4
per cent on the aggregate value of
the lines, as compared with six per
cent under the EschlCummins law.
The provision of the Esch-Cummins
law recently expired and the COM
mission was given the right to fix
a new rate Of return.
The commission declared that the
cuts today which affect all inter,
state freight rates, would not de-
crease the earnings Of the railroads
below the 3-4 per cent level agreed
upon by the commission.
In making the reductions the COM
mission cut nearly in half the freight
rate increases authorized August 25,
1920.
In the eastern district the forty
per cent increase Of August 25, 1920.
was cut to 2G per cent.
In the western district the previ-
GUS 35 per cent increase was cut to
21b per cent.
In the southern and mountain Pa
cific districts the previous rate in
crease of 25 per cent was cut from
25 to 12h per cent.
Inter-territorial rate increases of
August 25, 1920, averaging 80 1-3 per
cent were cut to 20 per cent.
The announcement of the rate cut
today came as surprise. 1t had
been supposed that the administra-
tion would continue its efforts to
reach voluntary agreement with
the railroad executives by which
greater rate reductions could be put
into effect at once.
The decision came as a surprise
to the railroad executives whose
committee, appointed as the result
OF the White House dinner Saturday
night, was to meet the commission
thursday for the further discussion
of rate reductions.
The commission called on the car
riers to notify it by May 81 whether
the rate reductions prescribed will
be carried into effect without a
formal order by the commission.
The commission said it was inn
possible to make findings respecting
electric roads as whole, and there
fore held that its ruling should apply
to all roads, "other than electric
lines not operated as part of the
steam railroad system"
The rate cuts do not apply to milk
and cream when the revenue from
the transportation thereof is not in
cluded in freight revenue"
The commission stated that its
decision was based upon realiza-
tion that normal traffic may not
we'll be expected until the present
widespread expectation of rates re-
ductions is realized or dispelled."
Further the commission said:
1--WE are of the opinion that gen.
