RA!I, CHIEFS TALK
WAGE CUT FIRST
United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Reduetion
in railroad wages may be asked by rail
road executives before they will agree
to reduce freight rates, it was learned
here today.
Executives in the dinner conference
at the White House Saturday were
rather reluctant to approve as large re-
dhctions in rates as the president wants.
The rail executives also are said to
have raised another objection to big
cut in rates, namely that the reduction
would cause increased traffic, necess-
tating additional equipment which could
not be purchased if receipts were re.
duced.
Should the executives insist on fur
ther wage cuts, a voluntary agreement
to cut rates lower than the interstate
commerce commission feels it is justi-
fled in doing under the law, seems very
doubtful.
The strongest opposition would be
raised to reductions in the pay of the
rail workers by union heads. The White
House dinner, it is becoming known, was
far from a "harmony FEAST
There were several sharp exchanges Of
views, after the president expressed his
view that the lowering of freight rates
was the key to Il complete industrial re-
vival.
Railroad executives admitted earnings
had been increasing in recent months,
but said the rate is now not more than
fair return.

ing it.
The lady disappeared from her
fountain following the 1920 football
game between the Oregon Aggics and
the University Of Washington. The
Aggics won the bitter contest, their
first victory over the crstwhlc Sun
dodgers in Is years, by lone field
goal.
The defeat rankled in the hearts of
loyal sons Of the University of Wash
ington. A delegation concentrated
their most guileful wiles into vamping
"The Lady of the Fountain" with such
success that she was loaded into an au-
tomobilo and taken away to Portland.
The statue is lfc-size, so the fact was
acclaimed as worthy of inclusion in the
college pranks of fame.
Finally the truth leaked out and a
John Doe warrant was sworn out by

WAR PICTURE WILL
NEED SPECIAL CARS

PARIS, May 23.-Ocean transporta-
tioD experts are puzzled by a problem
raised by the acquisition of an -Ameri,
can organization of the immense war
panorana, known sthe Pantheon de la
Guerre, which is to be taken bodily from
Paris to Ne wYork for exhibition.
Not since the transfer from Egypt of
the obelisk which is now in Central
Park, has such job been tackled.
The Pantheon de la Guerre, which
consists of canvas nearly so yards
long and about s yards high, showing
six or seven thousand portraits of war
chiefs and allied statesmen standing out
in startling relief against background
of the battlefields of France, has been
purchased for tour of the world be
ginning in New York.
The canvas cannot be cut in pieces
and put in pieces and put together on
arrival. 1t must be shipped in one
piece, entwined around an immense
wooden roller. Not many steamships
have facilities for such feat of trans
portation and when the Pantheon goe:
on tour in the United States, specia,
railroad cars will have to be built for it

When 4 Girl Mnrries
By ANN LESLIE

I could almost imagine her about to snatch Toms letter. I contrived a smile. It might banish her emotions and prevent an ugly scene. It might
 precipitate it. After a second I took my eyes from Daisy's face and glanc-
 ed down at the letter in a manner which I intended to have suggest un-
 concern. Then I reached over to a
 wrought-iron table on which lay an antiuue paper-cutter-which was a
 dagger once upon a time. no do tbt.
 Lifting the paper-cutter carelessly,
 I cut the flap of the cheap envelope
 Tom had enclosed in his note to
 Daisy. Lifting out a sheet of ruled noto-paper, I read:
 Dear Donna Anne:
 'sThe carpet of invisibi1ity must still be in existence. And it's evil dently come into the possession of the last chap in the world you'd choose to have own it. I'm sorry, but it looks as if we are coming back with an empty game bag and that precious black fox you want won't trail along from the Northwest to deck your victorious shoulders.

 By the way, hope you saw Miss w and offered her the clue to my seeming bad manners. I hate to give anyone so fine and dainty the ugly 1 impression of remissness from the point of view of loyalty or social
 knowledge. Do straighten this out | for me, Donna Anna, like the fine 1 friend you've come to be. And If l ever you want any little thing ex- | pIained to friend Jimmie, just count | on a like service from, your friend | Ton.''
 I reread the last two sentences | Nothing, it seemed, could be clearer

BECOMING COLORS

The woman who knows exactly which colors are best suited to her has an enviable gift Few women realize the enormous importance that color plays in their attire. for color acts not only themselves but every one they associate with. Almost everyone is susceptible to it's influence and yet very few realize it.
 There is the well known case of a man who lived in house with a red living room for 15 years and then suddenly went crazy. A few months away from the house and he was completely cured. There are any number of cases of people whose eye sight has been strangely affected also by looking too much at red. Red, in
 fact, is always a dangerous color. Some people are very much depressed
 by green and some people have a hatred of yellow. There is an old story of a dog who used to bark ex- cited4y whenever he Saw anything purple There are all sorts of queer tales about the effect of colors upon people.
 I do not mean to suggest that you 1 should take all these things into con | sideration when, for instance, you are 1 choosing a new hat. I only want to l suggest that you choose colors which
 suit your own temperament. Do not | deck yourself out in red if you are 8 | quiet and demure little blonde; do not wear purple if you can possibly find
 any other color. Do not wear vivid 1 shades with a sallow skin and do not
