Letter to Supt. E. z. Bass

Dear Sir: We would like to set
your boys and girls at work on Ills
question in arithmetic and casuistry
A farmer is fatting three hogs in
three small pens: they have equal
room and straw and care, and are
fed in these three wrys: first hog,
on a certain proportion OF milk
and cooked cornmeal; second hog,
on the same, half water: third hog,
on the same. half water and sawAlst.
How long will it take, how much will
they weigh, how much will they cost
and wIat'l be the profit on the
threes
And similar question in pigmen-
try That same farmer is gong tc
paint three barns the same size; and
he says TO three painters: "what'll
you take 10 paint that barn?'
First painter scratches his head a
few minutes and says: Eli do it for
5000
Second painter: "S75."
Third painter: "$o7 .4e"
Will they each get a barn to paint.
or one get two, or one all three, or
nobody amy: and whatl they make
on the job?
That's about how painting goes
sometimes.
But there is a way to reckon: S. n
gallon. The difficulty is in knowing
how many gallons to buy. There's
a way OUT of that

SALVADOR Is ACCUSED.
Charged With Aiding Honduras With
Munitions Of War.

Advices received by the State Department
today through Minister Corea of Nicaragua
are to the effect that the small steamer
Empire, which in the past has figured con-
spicuously in hlibustering expeditions is
being utilized for the transportation of
munitions of war from Salvador to Hon
duras. The information came to the Mica
raguan legation here in a cablegram from
the minister of foreign affairs. Senior Corea
lost no time in communicating the fact to
the State Department. He had long con-
ference with Assistant Secretary Bacon,

tended for Honduras. He has wired the
Nicaraguan consul in Salvador to be on
the alert and to afford him all possible
information about that shipment. 1t is
believed that by Encouragement the EN-
pire will meet the Newport at sea and
have the 600 cases of war material
transferred to her.
While Senior Corea would not disclose
the nature of his talk with Assistant
Secretary Bacon, it is presumed that
steps looking toward Intervention by
either the United States or Mexico were
discussed.
