Time ELEMENT IN HEALTH
OF PRESIDENT HARDING
fCont1nued from page II

Presidents respiration, which was
thirty-six instead of t~hirty-two, he
said. He explained that thirty-two
had been the low point, but thirty
six was the correct figure.
At 1920 O'Clock President Harding
was awake and his physician, Brig
adler General Charles T.. Sawyer,
went in to receive a report from the
doctor in charge during the night,
Lieutenant Commander Joel I.
Boone, on how the executive had
rested. The President apparently
had slept later thah he did yester-
day.
Time seemed today to be the chief
element in the recovery of the Presi-
dent. It also was regarded by his
physician as one of the most un-
certain.
The question, when will the
President be able to ~travel?" found
about as many different answers
among members of the Presidential
party as there are persons in the
party. The physicians attending the
chief executive, however, would not
even yet venture an opinion.
1.-THE Presidents convalescence is
going to take time" said Brigadier
General Sawyer, MS PHYSICIAN Dut
in answer to the question as to how
much time, all that General Sawyer
would say was:
you never can elect a time to
be sick. You likewise never can
elect a time to be we'll"
One thing was certain and that
was that the President was making
progress toward recovery at the
beginning of the day. He obstain.
ed considerable sleep during the
night, and just before he dropped
off to sleep, General Sawyer "toof
stock" as he phrased it, and found
all indications favorable. Among
those indications was a normal tenn
pe~rature, less labored and more reg.
ular breathing, and pulse that whil'
still rather high, seemed to show
no indications of increasing.

BUS SERVICE CONFERENCE

CONTINUED from paxe u

we must Sct for the beneht OF
the travelling public" Mr.. Coan said.
las soon as possible we must draft
a drastic, effective ordinance cover
Ing the situation and every COM
munity should back the other up in
seeing that the new legislation is
uniformly enforced. The bus equip
ment should be standardized so that
1t reaches a stage of perfection and
the public may be better protected"
Mayor Chase, of South Amboy,
suggested as the first step in solv-
ing the problem, the naming of a
committee whose duty it will be to
draw up a working bus ordinance,
applicable to all municipalities con-
cerned.
Mayor Smith, of Keyport, declar-
ed that the doors are wide open"
to bus operators desiring permits in
that place and that every applicant
would be given fair consideration

sidered lowering the license fee
charged bus operators he said, in
order to lessen the hardships upon
them.
Mayor Wilson, in his remarks,

was in favo, of granting a permit to
