HOW EDUCATION PAYS.

The value OF time spent In school
in acquiring an education is striking
ly set forth In the Des Moines Daily
Capital The attention or boys who
are tired OF going TO school Ia called
TO me following facts: The average
educated man gets a salary OF 1000
year. He works forty years, max.
ing a total Of 10000 in life time.
The average day laborer geB $50
per day. In forty-four years he
earns $4,000. The difference OF s22,.
900 equals the education. To acquire
this earning capacity II takes twelve
years at school or 10s days each
year, or 2,1e0 days. Divide $4,000
the value OF an education, by 2,l6o
OF days getting II, we 6nd

CUMM|NS HITS SHAW
SHOWS ANIMUs or RECIPROCITY
CONGRESS BY RINGING ~
PERSONALITIES.

Chicago, Aug. t7.--The reciprocity
congress this morning listened 10
some scathlng words from Gov. Cum.
minis, Of Iowa; heard a report from
the committee on resolutions and de-
ferred action on the latter until this
afternoon. The resolutions as pre-.
sented recognize the principle Of pro-
lection as an established policy or
our country, but advocate reciprocal
concessions by means OF dual, or max.
imum and minimum tariffs, as the
most adequate and practical method
OF relieving the strained situation.
They urge that the question OF gched-
ules and items to be considered IN
such reciprocal concessions shall pre-
ferably be suggested by a permanent
tariff commission 10 be created by
congress and appointed by the presp
dent which shall consist OF economic,
Industrial and commercial expertB.
They also urge early action by con.
gress.
Cummins In his speech took crack
at Secretary Shaw, saying that the
secretary OF the treasury committed
a grave ofrense against propriety by
saying the treaty with France gives
France everything, and the UnIted
States nothing. HE has never read
the tariff" said the speaker. The
welfare Of few jewelers. was consid.

day in the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia by Nikolaus Auth, through
Attorney Leon Tobriner, against the Trad
ers' National Bank, Michael A. Dugan and
others. the object being to have the court
surrogate the complainant to the rights OF
the Traders National Bank in five shares

ment Association. 1t is explained that the

it with the bank as collateral security for a
previous loan.
