DEAF FAIL TO
ATTEND SCHOOL
Supt. Blattner Addresses Ap-
peal to Officers, Asking
ing Aid in Getting All.

According to the estimate made by
j. w. Blattner, superintendent of the
North Dakota school for the deaf at
Devils Lake, contained in a letter ad-
dressed to local authorities, there
should be about $50 leaf children of
school age in the state of North Da-
kota.
The enrolment at the school for
the deaf was ~ninety-four during the
past year, SO that about one-third of
the deaf in the state We're kept out of
the school. The superintendent APP
pea!s to the people of the state to
send their deaf To the school sc that
they may avail themselves of the priv
ileges that are theirs for the asking.
The appeal is as follows:
When we consider the helpless
condition of deaf children who are
without an education. growing up in
ignorance and becoming a burden
upon the community and the prey of
the evil and the designing, we cannot
but be impressed with the great i'm
dren in school. BY giving these leaf
people an education, we make them
happy. intelligent, self-supporting.

every means in Your power toward
finding these children and reporting
them to me. The compulsory educa-
tion laws of our state apply to the
deaf AS Well as to the hearing, and
under the law, the educational au-
thorities of our county are required
to report these children. shall
therefore ask o that you have the
local officials diligently seek IL all

SNAKES ON HOSE

Paris. July 2.-Makers of fashion
are now concentrating their
attention upon Women's stockings.
This is probably accounted for by the
fact that the new style gowns make
h stockings about the most conspic-
uous part of womens' attire.
Here are some of the effects estab-
lished as a result of the fashionable
and s~tyle-setting Grand Prix turf event
at Longchamps:
Hosiery bearing embroidered snakes
birds. butterflies and even notices
Most of the stockings were pink, al
though some where white. and ever a
few purple and even green ones We're
seen. Bands of diamonds and other
precious stones also were seen, both
on stockings and set in the shoes.

FORECAsTINR EARTHQUAKES.

A number of years ago a great
earthquake occurred in Chill. Later
the California earthquake wrought
havoc at San Francisco. On the day
after the a Francisco disaster an
eminent American geologist pointed
the three Americas. following the
Andes in South America and the coast
range in this county, was a great fault
line. along which readjustments OF
the earth's crust were liable to pro-
duce earthquakes.
He pointed out that, there having
been a slipping and readjustment in
the southern section of the fault line.
and then a corresponding one in the
northern section, it was reasonable to
presume that the middle area would
have its corresponding disturbance.
He declined to predict: but his analy-
sis was widely presented as a predic-
ton, and before many months hac
passed the thing actually happened
in HI exa region he had indicated
the west coast of Mexico and Cen
trail America.
Predicting earthquakes has not
been generally attempted but that
case presents an instance Of scientific
knowledge at least guessing right.
Therefore especial interest must at
tach to the suggestion of Prof. George
Hallock Chadwick. who occupies the
chair Of geology of st. Lawrence Uni
versity. He points out. first. that
there is an ancient line Of fault
through the Appalachian region. from,
Quebec to Alabama. In 1868 a ire
~mendously violent earthquake shook
The upper parts of this region, and
Prof. Chadwick, by the same analogy
that made a prediction of the Mexico
shock. declares there is possibility o!
more shocks along the Appalachian
line.
The Appalachians are a far Older
mountain system tina the Rockies
and Andes Therefore. their area is
less liable to earthquakes. But it~has
had Widespread and destructive
shocks in thep asst, and it is not for
shocks in the past, and it is not for
1he future is assured. Geologically,
1863 Is not far in the past.

PANAMA CANAL TRAFFIC.
Tonnage Will Exceed That of Suei
Within Two OF Three Decades.
(Scribner's MagaZine,)

The simplest and most concrete
measure Of the service rendered by
the Panama Canal will be the tonnage
Of ships that use the waterway. This
can be forecast with a fair degree OF
c%ertinty, because it is possible to as
ceraain. how much traffic now moves
by routes that would be abandoned
in favor of the canal route. and i,
Is easy to find rout how fast this avail
able canal traffic Is increasing.
The history of the Suez Canal, the
great interoceanic highway with
which the Panama Canal is closely
comparable, is an open book. Las,

Of 20.275,0o passed through the

The shipping using the Panama
Canal annually during the first year

and 1916. will amount to about TO-.
$1,000 net MS AT the-end of ten
years the tonnage will doubtless have
reached 10000 00 net tons. Tho
prospect thus is that the Panama

SMOKING MADE HARMLESS.

Nicotine is the poison that turks in

This Is the method. Soak the to-
bacco in fresh, pure water in an
earthen dish for about an hour, then
remove the tobacco and dry 1t out Of
doors.
4. Chemical analysis Of the water in
which the tobacco has been soaked
shows that a very large percentage Of
the nicotin has been dissolved. This
solution. incidentally, is a useful poi

other plants.

the Suez tonnage continue to increase
at the present rate, the volume Of
shipping served by he Suez Canal in
1925 Will be double hat passing
through the Panama waterway. 1t is
hardly probable that the Suez' tom

present high rate; while 1t may Well
happen that the stimulating effect of
the Panama Canal upon industry and
trade has been underestimate. Even
tually, at the end of two or three

The Panama Canal is always
