What makes il possible for one wheel
10 reverse while the other goes ahead,
running on a wet pavement with the
brakes applied?
The differential action will allow one
wheel to revolve clockwise, while the
other turns anti-clockwise but with
the brakes applied and holding well
neither wheel should turn. In the
case you mention the brakes evidently
were slipping and thus permitted the
wheels to turn.

FUNDS TO TEACH FARMING
any criterion

One of the finest bits of cooperation between the fed eral and state is seen in the new systen for teaching scientific agriculture.
 The last congress in the smthLeyer act established fund for agricultural extension It was provided that dollar of this fund should added to every dollar appropriated by state for the purpose The amount voted is not great The first instslment which became available last July, amounted only s4SOOOO And yet the surprise of those interested in the measure every state in the Union has advantage of the oppor- tunity.
 Chiefly result of this measure there are now more than HOO agricultural agents at work in the various states going through the rural districts and teaching the best modern methods of conservation crop rotation crop disposal stock breeding etc. This admirably sup Demeus the county advisor" work already begun by many cooperative farmers and business organizations and by some of the state agricultural departments
 The isn't destined to remain so small For inc coming year there will be s6OOOOo available from the federal fund, and by 1922 there will be s9OOOOOO ap proprated year And from the present ndlca tons the states will use up every dollar of it.
 It goes without saying that this is one of the most valuable economic purposes for which the government could spend money There is probably other field in which dollar bring such big in private pros pery and national resources. Out Of national expen allure Of billion dollars year. the voted for this object seem trivial indeed

The thing about preparedness is that t is go-
 ing to ocst the American people heap of money Our navy and army have always cost us more per soldier and sailor and gun and ship those of any other nation. Now the expense for any particular defensive unit is going be higher than ever
 The government has met with an unpleasant surprise
 in letting contracts for two new batteships It finds that the ships built for anywhere near the us ua price. The private shipyards can get all the work
 they from the beIigerents at prices nsuring them huge profits and they're interested in srengthins American unless Uncle Sam will pay them war prices
 The same situation is likely to be found in every branch of expenditure for armament Guns will cost more, ammunition will more automobiles and fuel and uniforms and all of supplies will cost more. Even in the government shipyards and munton shops labor and materials will cost more
 The extreme miitarsts navalists are blithy giy en ignoring such matters. They talk freely of stand ing army of 25OOOO men, reserve of a million or two a big Englands and enough munitions stored up to fight great war without either counting the cost or suggesting how it is to be met
 It is unquesionably necessary to strengthen our de lenses The sentiment of the nation is in favor of great CT preparedness But We are already spending s25O. oOOOOO year on our army and navy and the compara lively moderate plans submitted by president seem to involve the doubling of that expenditure for several years Whatever congress does in the matter needs be done in sober judgment exact reckoning of the and the economical expenditure of ey cry dollar. Our money will buy all too little defense at best, if past military and naval history affords any criterion.

TEACHING ENGLISH
 OBLIGATORY IN CUBA
 SAYS AN AUTHORITY
Order of Anti-AmeriCan Secret ary of Public Instruction Will Be Contested on Ground of Its ConStitutionaIity.

HAVANA, Cuba, Nov. 25.-The con- stitutionality of the order recently is- sued by the secretary of public instruc tion to discontinue the teaching of English in the public schools of Cuba is being questioned. and it appears at present that the matter will be the subject os an appeal to the supreme court unless President Menocal should by decree, reverse the ruling Of the secretary of public instruction.
 The Havana Post paper published in English, in an editorial which is said to be inspired by high legal au- thority, contends that the teaching Of English in the public schools is oblig- atory in all grades except the first by virtue of military order number 226 of Is99 which, among dther military orders of the First Intervention, have been made laws of Cuba. The terms of the law are most explicit and leave no discretion whatever in the matter to the department of public instruc- tion beyond the arrangement of the courses of study It Is pointed out by the newspaper that the military order of 1899 directed special apprOpria- ton to cover the expenses of English instruction in the schools and it is con- tended that this money cannot be le- gally diverted to any other purpose.
 Article ". of the Platt Amendment Law. which is included in the famous amendment of the constitution of Gu ba, says: "Al acts realized by the United States in Cuba during the mili- tary occupancy shall be ratified and held valid and all rights legally ac- quired through them shall be maintain and protected"
 The Post therefore contends that not only have the children of Cuba been robbed Of the right to instruc- ton in English guaranteed them by the law of the land, but that the dep rivation of this right constitutes a vio- lation of the amendment Of the con sttution
 The abolition of instruction in Eng fish in the public schools a:ects most seriously the children of the poor, for there is not a single private school in the island in which English if not in- cluded as an important feature of the curriculum. It is declared that there is no doubt the action of Secretary Garcia was prompted by his anti-Am- erlcan feeling. it being asserted that among educational authorities gener ally there has been no demand for the abandonment of English The
 secretary is reported to be in favor of the substitution -pf French for Eng
 fish. but the practibility of this is not
 plainly seen since the French consti ltute one of the very smallest colonies in Cuba.

A TRIUMPH OF DEMOCRACY

When Booker IT. Washington died, the other day he acclaimed throughout the nation as one of the coun trys greatest He honored by southern whites well by northern whites. His own people had sometimes differed with him and heaped reproaches on him through imperfect understanding. Now they saw with sudden ceamess that he had been not only the leader of their the man of loOoOooO but he had personined their in its struggles toward real freedom.
 More than that all Americans who thought about this remarkable black all have recognized that he proved America be in truth the of opportun U. He was a triumph of American democracy if there ever was one.
 Could there be any greater contrast than that between the Virginia slave boy parenuess nameless and home less an outcast sleeping under the wooden sidewalks Of Richmond and the received on equal terms by presidents in the White House compelling respect and honor making whole nation forget the outward marks Of the negro in instnctive recognition of the man?
 His life is evidence enough that our democracy is still true judgment of SO unbiased by outward circumstance life still so flexible our country is u so rul Of opportunity for personal initiative that any of our human units move around freely and make themselves whatever places they are to occu py
 There can be no doubt that the waif who named him self Booker r Washington and died Doctor" Washing ton made his own place absolutely He picked up edu cation as he had picked up crusts of bread. He put himself through Hampton and then about establish ns a institution. of type, for the uplifting Of his lelowuesroes. He made Tuskeegee famous around the world He worked a set of ideals for his peape and Go a remarkable extent made them follow those ideals.
 He gave them what they needed. He told them the truth about themselves even while he recognized theh higher aspirations. He kept them from the specious lure of the white mans culture" the petty and ir ritong demand for social equality" He bade them de negro should make himself the best and finest possible negro. instead Of trying to make himself imitation white man And in that doctrine, and its successful preaching la yanother triumph of democracy.
 Our national salvation lies in each constituent race giving to the nation the best of it's own native abilities. That is the way our national life enriched. Therefore in trying to make good negroes instead of imitation white men, Dr. Washington was powerful prophet Of the gospel of Americanism.
 He told the negroes to put money in the bank, buy their own homes 10 cultivate their land His eachlne was primarily industrial He made his people better farmers He introduced them into skilled trades. He urged morality and responsibility. For these things he saw were the fundamentals which the eyoly- od it might rear nober superstructure.
 Eventually the negro may give great music great literature great art The ancient Egyptians, il should be remembered were negroes Even tney are racial element of real value to democracy thanks largely to the Virginia slave boy.
