Why Spain Lays Behind.

In thousands Of villages and small
towns In the interior of Spain no one
knows how to read or write. There
are in Spain 10000 rural villages with
out schools Of any kind and many
thousands which can be reached only
by bride path. there being no high
roads or railway communication Of
any kind. Attendance at board schools
Is voluntary, not obligatory. Seventy
six per cent. of the children in Spain
are illiteratc, and this is especially
noticeable in the capital.

STATE AUTO LAW
is SUPREME IN CITIES

San Francisco, Oct. 16.-The s.. tie
law governing the speed of motor
vehicles is paramount ever all munici
pal and county ordinances.
This, in brief, IS the sense of de-
cision given today by Attorney Gen
eral Webb at the solicitation of lis
trict Attorney Hynes of Alameda
county.
The state law of 1912 permits
speed of Is miles an hour in the b
mess sections of cities, 10 miles at
crossings, 20 miles in residential
tricts and 80 miles on open highways.
Cities, however, may regulate the
details of their own traffic, such as
the manner of making turns, parking
cars, stopping at crossings for inter-
secting traffic, and the like.
All fines collected must go into the
county treasures. Various city treas
uries, under the decision, must make
considerable refunds and whole net
work Of small ordinances not in agree
ment with the state law is swept
aside.

FIRST THREE GUN
TURRET FOR NEVADA 4

Boston, Oct. 16-Within few DAYS
there will be installed on the new
battleship Nevada at the Fore River
shlpyards, the first three gun turret
ever placed on an American battleship.
They will be the best protected of any
in the world and will be the heaviest
turrets ever set up, weighing on the
average about so tons, or some eleven
tons heavier than the turrets or the
Argentine battleship Rivadavia, which
was considered the "last word' in
naval construction.
Each of Nevada's turrets will have
fourteen-inch guns, the most power
full on any United States battleships
and rivalled only by few in the Brit
ish and German fleets. They will
weigh about 147,500 pounds each, will
be 50 feet long and will throw a pro-
Jectile weighing 1,400 pounds each.
The latter will carry much larger
amount of high explosives than the
of5-Dound proJectlle OF the 12-inch
pieces.
Two of these three-gun turrets will
be installed, one in the fore-castle deck
and cne on the quarterback, with
two-gun turret behind and slightly
above each other so there will be
five fourteen-inch guns pointing ahead
and similar number facing astern.
Thus the fire of all ten guns may be
at either side or almost
directly ahead or astern. The advan-
Iage of such an arrangement has deep
|y impressed naval authorities the
world over. The New York and Texas,
lhe only American ships now in COM
mission with fourteen inch guns, carry
them mounted in five two-gun turrets
instead of four as on the Nevada and
Ter sister ship, the Oklahoma.
1t is estimated that about three
more months will be needed in which
10 complete the work of laying on the
