HOPES FOR END

settlement Of the nationwide Goa
strike was held out tonight by Pres

Mine Workers of America, who de.
clared he was optimistic as to the
possible results OF conferences be

Only operators OF the central com.
petitive fields, comprising Illinois, In.

later invitations to other operators OF
other coal fields, possibly resulting
in enlargement of the central field

the soft coal industry.

night from Pittsburg, where he spent
the day, declined to discuss the pos

Washington, Aug. I6.--Leaders OF
the striking railroad shopmen, B. NJ

department of the American Federi.-
,lon of Labor; w. HkJohnson, presi
dent of the machfHists' association
and ]. P. Nocnan, >ehi& of the electri-
cal workers brotherh9od, waited over
Sunday in Washingtos, expecting 10
resume with President Harding to-
morrow the Negotiations for strike
settlement which were reopened on
Saturday. There was IN the meantime
:, gathering of general chairman of
the strike organisatieBs on several of
the Eastern railroad systems, chiefly
machinists' representatives,, who re
ported on existing conditions, and dis
cussed strike policy witt the national
leaders.
Nothing was Forthcoming from the
White House concerning the possible
new negotiations which might result
between railroad executives and Pres
ident Harding in furtherance of the
settlement attempts. In spite of thc
refusal of the road arrangements to
accept President Harlmg's reQues
that all strikers be 1cmstated with
full seniority in consideration of n
calling off of the sriEe it Is known
that paths of communication between
Tie administration and the more
prominent railroad head lcmain com.
pictply open.
Union representative remained
firm in the opinion that President
H"rding would not ask them to COM
prise further on seniority points; held
out the impression that !hcy had gone
to the limit in accepting his original
o'fer, and professed complete ignor-
ance as to what his reconsideration Of
the problem might develop.
The union leaders expect other rail
road unions not on strike to follow up
tomorrow the program of making
representations to the president CON
cerning the bad condi,iun into which
they claim the strike had put railroad
rolling stock. This was begun Satur-
day by legislative agents of three of
the train service brotherhood organi-
cations, the engineers. trainmen and
firemen and enginemen, and the init
nation left that while not contemplat-

The separate conference between
the shop craft spol;esmen on the
Southern railway and the manage
mcnt will begin tomorrow after two
day postponement. The Southern, act
ing apart from all the other large
railroads, has offered to settle with
it's men exactly on the basis Of Pres.
ident Harding's proposals. The union
policy has. been hitherto emphatically

E~GG-EATING HEN Is
DIFFICULT TO CURE
Cut Her Head Off as Habit Is
Practically Incurabic.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
An e%gg-eating hen is a bolshevf
that is liable 10 corrupt the rest q
the flock with her uleconomic notion
regarding r%ations. She should be r.
moved to a place where her eXampl
will have no effect on her sisters, a.
she should have her head cut off. ia
the habit is practically incurahle. Poul
trymen of the United States Deparr
ment Of Agriculture say it can be pre-
vented by taking proper precautions
Eating eggs begins usually when an
egg has broken in the nest. or when
II has been cracked by freezing and
then thawed out. Keeping the nests
well supplied with straw or other nest
ing material will reduce the danger
Of b%reakage, and darkening them will
reduce the chances Of broken eggs
being found by hens. 1t is a good
in cold weather so that none will be
frozen.
Hens that are not properly fed will
have a ravenOus appetite for eggs,
both the shells and the contents, so
that providing a well-balanced ration
Is some insurance against the develop
ment of the habit. In winter there
Is particular danger that some lack
in the feed will develop an abnormal
appetite, so plenty of animal matter,
such as meat scraps, and lime in the
form Of oyster shells or bone, should
be taken to provide II.
Another bad habit enjoyed by these
dietetic bolshevists Is feather p~lucking
from themselves or from other mem
bers Of the flock. Improper feeding,
insect pests, and too close confinement
are the usual causes for starting this
habit. But it Is not so hard to cure
as egg eating. A plentiful supply of
animal and green feed and good range
or plenty Of exercise by feeding in a
deep litter, and freedom from insect
pests will usually bring the fowls back
to a normal appetite.

In the geological laboratory at sgd

cimens of the platypus and the echid-

reptiles and mammals. The platypus Is
a nocturnal animal found in the quiet
upper reaches of rivers, and 1t still plen-
tiful there, despite the demand for its
fur. 1t is now vigorously protected
by law. 1t feeds on fresh-water
shrimps, aquatic snails, and worms.
Its duck bill is an extremely delicate
and sensitive structure, as the platy-
rus finds much of it's food by touch
in the soft mud. Cor breeding pur-
poses the platypus builds a tortuous
tunnel in the river bank, sometimes
80 feet long. At the end a chamber
is %eXcavated and a nest made of roots,
gum leaves, and reeds. Usually two
eggs are laid, which are attached to

HELP lMVALiDS TO FORGET
Presence OF a Canary or Goldfish In

Beneficial Effect.

Next time you sit in a room, the
furnishings of which include q bowl
of goldfish, consider how much time

they swim slowly about or dart about

Probably you will conclude you
were INDUCING the usual tendency Of
the normal person TO be attracted TO
moving objects. In sick persons and

That psychology OF this attraction
was given by DIR. Edward N. Leavy,
