The Arizona State Fair Commits sion will meet in this city next Sat urday, May 31 for the purpose of starting the next state fair off with the proper degree of eclat, and the commission will stay in session for four days
 The first session of the Fair Com mission after period of quiet such as has been gone through during the past three months, is always a very important one as the plans must he laid and the work started that will make or break the fair next fall. The nature of the busi- ness therefore will preclude the pos siblity of the general public being admitted until June 2.
 The superntendents of the var ious departments will have to be chosen and the premium lists will have to be revised. There is also the question of d greater degree of publicity this year than last. It has been customary heretofore except last year to have regular publicity matter sent to all the papers. Last year this was not handled from a bureau of its own but directly from the of flee of the secretary The secretary had plenty of other work to occupy his attention.

"I heard several-~of them when l was in Europe" he says, and l found that the language of their motors is the same as that which We hear in this country The drivers are interesting and all that but I like to hear the sputter of the exhaust valves on the cars. and I know I will have no diff ficulty in understanding everything they say"
 Paul R. Martin, general press di- rector of the Speedway, speaks French. but has declined the task of becoming official interpreter for the foreigners on the grounds that he is so busy talking English to the newspapers that he hasn't time to camp on the trail of the Europeans. Besides. he doesn't relish the idea of brushing up on the irregular verbs during warm weather.
 One suggestion has been made for handling the situation (which savers of the trip around Robin Hoods barn. It has been learned that ZucarrelIi. the round pilot of one of the Peu- geot cars is an Italian, but that he also speaks French. Zucarrelli could learn the wants of the Frenchmen and make them known to Ralph De Palma in Italian. De Palma could then translate the Italian into Eng glsh. for the benefit of those in charge Replies could be made over the same circuit But suppose that an idea should strike a Frenchman right at the time when De Palma might be tuning up his ear. would the Italian American take kindly to the idea of breaking off in the midst Of a ninety mile an hour lap to tell Zucarrelli to tell the Frenchmen that the laundry would be delivered at 1 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon?
 Yes, this international question is of more interest around the speedway than the Montenegrin affair. but it will probably be solved by the em- ployment of an interpreter who speaks French. Italian and English

NEW POSTMASTER-GENERAL HOPES
 TO ESTABLISH ONE-CENT POSTAGE

Albert S. Burleson, the new post master-general, faces many intricate problems in connection with the operation of the post office system throughout the country.
 According to those well posted in Washington, he comes well qualified for this position. Postmaster-Gen- eral Burleson is a native of Texas, and was educated at Agriculture and Mechanical College, Baylor Uni versity, and University of Texas. He was admitted to the bar in 1884: was assistant city attorney at Austin, Texas, from 1886 to 1890: attorney of the twenty-sixth judicial district from 1892 to 1896, and was a member of the Seth. 57th, 18th. 59th, Goth, 61st and 62nd congresses: He has been a deep student of postal affairs for many years.
 One of the important matters which the postmaster-general will be called upon to deal with will be the establishing of one-cent letter postage. He has indicated to repre- sentatives of the National One Cent Letter Postage Association that he heartily favors one-cent letter post age, and hopes to bring it about just as soon as a satisfactory adjustment of affairs can be had.
 He strongly favors efficient service in the department; adequate com pensation for post office employees, and an equalization of postal rates. He hopes that one-cent letter post age is not far distant and that it may become a monument to the ad- ninistrative ability of the depart ment of which he is head.

Confusion of Tongues Ex- ists in Indianapolis With Race Drivers of Many Nations Jabbering To- gether About Events.

"Ach himmel," Ma Foi," Mamma mia''-an of which go to represent the sounds which may be heard around the office of the Indianapolis Motor speedway nowadays. Word has been received that the foreign drivers who will pilot cars in the third annual 800 mile International Sweepstakes race, May 30. do not speak English and it will be neces- sary to have an interpreter for them when they arrive in Indianapolis for practice Hence the rehearsals in linguistics which it is alleged now form regular part of the daily routine at the speedway office
 We'll have to start language school for speedway employees" said Theodore F. Myers. auditor of the speedway Since the race has be- come so international in character that it is attracting drivers from all nations. I am in favor of adopt ing Esperanto or some other com mon tongue as the official language of motordom One thing, though. makes me feel at ease. If a foreign driver captures one of the prizes I don't believe he will have any diff ficulty in reading the figures on his check. and with that my worry ends"

It is said that the captain is seriously con sidering the advisability of stocking the small stream which flows through the speedway grounds with frogs. and that he called up a horticulturist U ask whether il was too late to plant macaroni and spaghetti

LIBEL SUIT INVOLVES
 QUESTION OF PROOF
Interesting Point Raised In Action of Colonel Roosevelt
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcHl

MAIAt9 o FIFE, May 24-After the selection of jury and the opening statement by counsel for the plaintiff in the libel suit of Theodore Roose- Welt against c. A. NeWett which be- gins, here next Monday, Judge Rich ard C. Fiannigan, among his first duties. will probably be called upon to rule just how much proof will fall on the plaintiff and how much on the defendant. The points the local law yers are agitating are whether Colonel Roosevelt must prove that the drunk en charge was lbeIous or whether his claim for damage will be suffi
 ciently set forth in simple denial of the editorial charge, leaving to the defense the burden of proving the truth of the allegations in the editor ial printed in the Iron Ore during the presidential campaign of last year.

Last year the Italian government gave official notice to it's female em- ployes in the telegraphic service that they could not marry under the age of 28 years Recently new order has been announced that no married woman need solicit admission into the service.
 At Winnipeg, Manitoba, a labor re presentation committee has been formed for the purpose of securing labor representation upon all public bodies for the purpose of organizing the working class into one consoli- dated political body w. B. Simpson was elected chairman
 Labor Commissioner Powers of Mi chigan reports that of the 50,000 per sons by which the number of em ployes in manufacturing establish ments was increased in 1912, only sos were children between 14 and 1G Years of age. This is said to be due to the employers liability law and effective factory inspection.
 The 90,O0O members of the Brick layers and Stonemasons. Interna- tiona1 Union are preparing to vote on the question of affiliating with the American Federation of Labor It is said that other trades have been gradually encroaching on the trade of the bricklayers and they decided to join the Federation for self protection.

lLLITE RACY.
Attrib buted to Lack of Educatio nal
 Facilities in Country.

Not immigration, but the lack of edu- cations opportunities in rural districts,
 is chiefly responsible for the relatively high rate of illiteracy in the United States according to a bulletin by A. C. Monahan. of the bureau of education The rate of rural illiteracy is twice the urban rate, despite the fact that ap prOXimately three-fourthS of the inn migrants are in the cities. Still more significant is comparison between children born in this country of for eign parents with those born of native parents. The illiteracy among native born children of native parentage is more than three times as great as among native children of foreign par entage," says MT. Monahan, largely on account of the lack of opportunities for education in rural America.
 The bulletin is of special value at this time because it is brief, clear, nonsenSational statement of the rural school problem. It does not attempt to gloss over unpleasant facts. It gives full recognition to the positive advance that has been made in many rural districts and to improvements now under way, but in general finds finds conditions far from satisfactory.
 Among other things, MT. Monahan finds 226,000 one teacher schoolhouses in the United States, of which 5000 are log buildings still in active use. All though more than 60 per cent of the children in the United States are en- rolled in country schools, the rural az gregate attendance is only 51 per cent. The school buildings and grounds in most country districts are in a con dition that is only approached by homes Of the most shiftless residents of the district" and the average teach ing in these one-teacher schools is of very low grade.
 The bulletin is illustrated with pho tographs of good and, bad rural schools from the log schoolh6use to the con- solidated school; right and wrong heat ing in country school; a canning fac tory and school garden connected with a Louisiana school: and map show ing the system of local school super vision as it prevails in the several states The purpose of the map is to show how real the need is for the kind of business-like supervision of the country schools that has led to such efficient results in the city.
 With the help of recent expectations made by congress the bureau of edu- cation has undertaken to make careful study of the needs of the TUT al schools, and the bulletin just is sued is one of the first definite re- suits of the work. "It is in no way either complete or exhaustive" says Commissioner Claxton, but it is the best possible under the circumstances and with the facilities now at our disposal. In complete as it is, this bulletin makes very valuable con- tribution to a clear understanding of the rural schools as they actually
