LABOR FOR BETTER EDUCATION
Compulsory education to the age
Of 16 is advocated by the educational
committee of the Illinois State Fed
Grafton of Laber- in convention at
Peoria.
With the present requirement Of IA
years, 40 per cent never reach eighth
grade and about half of the children
do not complete grammar school
The report in part reads:
Conditions are such as make it
difficult to support children and keep
them in school. This is evidenced by
the fact that wherever the free text
book system has been established the
school life of the children has been
prolonged.
1--WE are of the opinion that the
most effective way of exercising this
control, restraint and guidance over
the children is in the raising Of the
age of compulsory attendance at
school by law to 16 years, supple
mented by the introduction Of voCa-
tiOnal education into our public
schools between the ages of IA and
1G, as outlined and recommended in
this report"
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-10-23

Chicago Federation of Labor, another
singIe-taxer, is for Sullivan. On the
county judgeship, he said today:
eff Owens had been nominated in
the primaries, 1 would have bolted my
party and gone on the stump for Cum
nea for county judge. AS the situa-
ton stands, am supporting the
whole Democratic ticket. At that, it
wouldn't break my heart to see Cum
nea elected
Frank Comerford's stand for Sui
Ivan is one Of the surprises. He
PANIED Sullivan early IN the primary
campaign. And probably the worst
name Sullivan has hurled at anybody
in this campaign was when he fired
back, calling ComeTford a notorious
mountebank."
The situation win be still more
mixed when Adolph Germer, Social
list candidate for senator, begins his
speaking tour in Chicago. Germer is
a member of the executive board of
the United Mine Workers of America
and as a practical miner is pitted
against Raymond Robins, who has
also swung a pick underground.

Ohio State Picked
to Win Big Six Meet

COLUMBUS, o., May 23.-The an
nual Big Six track meet among the
Ohio colleges was held this afternoon,
with greater number of entries than
ever before. Preliminaries in several
of the events We're run Friday and
this morning on Ohio field.
Ohio State is generally conceded
first place in the Big Six, but other
coaches predict that the men under
Coach Castleman will not roll up as
high score as last year. A number
of stars who probably will scatter
the points are entered from smaller
schools, and these men are expected to
win number of places that last year
went to the Ohio State team.
The o. S. U. team expects to take
first place in the pole vault, the shot
put, the hammer throw, the discus
and the long distance events. The
State relay team is also expected by
Coach Castleman to win that event
Miami, Dennison, Wesleyan, Oberlin
and Cincinnati teams are expected to
spring some surprises and several rec
ords are threatened.

THE AUTO sKIFF.

Fom the very earliest days of boat
building it was realized that the body
of a vessel must be shaped to cut
through the water readily; but with
the design of vehicles on land little
thought was given to air resistance
until very recently, when our high
speed machines have shown US that
air resistance is an important factor
We are beginning to realize that fuel
costs may be kept down If our auto
mobiles are designed to plow through
the aid with q minimum Of head and
skin friction. More attention has
been paid to this abroad than in this
country. Automobile bodies are grow
ing more and more like boats. Log
ically the smaller the engine the more
necessary it is to pay attention to
streamlines in the car body.

ARMY AUTO IN SERVICE.

An armored automobile was lately
given some actual work in operations
in Morocco, this belonging to the
Spanish army. The present car is
provided with an especially thick plat
ing, and it covers the whole of large
power car SO as to give it the appear
ance Of square van. Steel plate is
used which is said to be proof against
usual bullets. The new car is YER
liable travelling fortress, and is di-
vided into three parts, the front for
the diver, the middle part, which con-
tains the firing outfit and has slit
windows with flaps, and the back por-
ton, fitted out as an ammunition hold.
On the top of the car are double flap
doors which open nearly the entire
roof in order to give an outlook, and
there are small side windows also
placed near the roof for lookout pur-
poses. The main lookout window is
in the front end of the car, and above
the drivers seat.

MOTOR CAR FOR
TRANSPORTING HORSES

Edmond Blanc, of Monaco, a we'll
known sportsman, has found that his
horses suffered on the journey from
the stables in England to the Riviera
and return, because of the frequent
transfer from railway car to boat,
and from boat to car This had the
effect of rendering them nervous, and
their performances at the race track
were not up to par. The necessity
of devising some means of transport
ing the animals without changing
cars was evident. This led to the
design of portable stable. 1t con-
sists of motor truck body, which
may be lifted off the chassis and put
aboard train or boat as the case
may be, without disturbing the horse
inside. The interior of the car is well
padded inside to protect the horse
against injury, and the sides are fitted
with shutters to provide ventilation.
The horse does not feel the fatigue
of travel so long as he does not have
to leave his stable.

WONDERS OF THE GREAT

Germany leads the world in the
work of charting the highways and
trails of the air, so that in time, it l.

to speed along on an aerial voyage
with the same fixed assurance of hi
course possessed by the man on the

into unfamiliar spaces, tracing these
great currents, estimating their speef

MRS. LAFFERTY's THREAT.

Mrs. Alma Lafferty, somewhat Of
a disgrace to her sex, and to the
cause of woman suffrage, says:
"One thing we women will impress
upon the governor when the time
comes is that the militia must not re-
turn to the strike fields. There must
be peace before the federal troops
are withdrawn. II the militia returns
there will be the worst bloodshed the
country has ever seen. There will
be revolution"
Isn't this nice way for woman,
who was honored by her constituents
by being elected to office, to talk7
Who will start this bloodshed7
Manifestly the strikers.
Who will encourage this bloodshed! :!
People Of the Alma Lafferty stripe.
If the militia Is called out It will
be because the strikers have refused
to give up their arms, because they
have started another row, and because
demagogues and agitators will en-
courage the strikers to defy the au-
thorities Of the state.

A San Francisco undertaken has
built funeral car that is far more
than hearse, for, in addition to the
space for the casket and flowers, there
are accommodations for thirty
people.
A single vehicle, therefore, may
take the place of q whole funeral

standard truck chassis. The wood.
work is solid mahogany and it is up
holstered with S-inch morocco leather
cushions. 1t is fitted with electric
lights and fans, and rivals parlor

18 feet high. In order that it may
be able to make the sharp turns in
the aisles Of the cemeteries, the
wheels are cut under. = ;

GREELEY, Colo, May 23.-Em-

Weld County Commercial club. The
bureaus will be devoted to the fur

others. A similar bureau has been in
