$4,000 PUPILS ON PART TIME.
The Usual Congestion in the New Yors
Schools-Gary System Extended.

New York, Sept. l5.-More than 500,
600 boys and girls, according to boarC
of education estimates, have reported fol
enrolment at the public schools. Tn,
exact figures of the registration will not
be available for a week, but il is estimat
ed that between $4,000 and $4,000 pupil:
will be put on part time for lack of ia.
cilities.
1t is thought that the high schools
will be more crowded than ever before
Many pupils, more this year, it is be-
lieved, than in any recent years, left
school in June hoping to get work dur
ing the summer and quit school, but they
have been disappointed, and so will 90
back to spend another term or year at
school work.
The Gary plan has been put into opera
ton at public school 2s. in the Bronx.
Half the pupils arrived at school at $3.50
and began class work. At 9:30 the other
half reported and went to work in the
vocational departments. At 1890 the
sections changed places, the first going
TO the vocational departments and the
second into the classrooms. The school
day ended for all the pupils at $3.50.
Only one school was ready for this plan,
Is have been designated.

Many Delegates at the San

San Francisco, Sept. l5,-Urging hel

10. III. p. Belmont of New York, as gen.
eral chairman OF the women voters con.

luncheon yesterday which preceded the
first business session of the convention.
Mrs. Belmont said: "The woman voters
of the IL enfranchised states of orr
United States are here to form body
polite 1t is the first time in the his
tory of the world that women have
moved politically. What does it signi
fly? 1t means now, as il always has and
always will, that when women come to-
gether to work, the moral, better side
of humanity intends to assert itself.
The western woman with the power of
her ballot will give to her enslaved sis

this sisterhood of women voters is the
power politically of the near future. Let
us plead with you to form no alliance
with any existing mans political party.
For 20 centuries, remember, you have
been led to believe your work was to
patch up the evils terminated by mans
so -called civilization. 1t is time for us
women to have civilization of our own.
Let us create a new code of honor, diff
ferent standard of morals"

SEARCH FOR TIN IN AMERICA.
Alaska has Furnished Interesting Field
for Investigation.

In view Of the interest in an adequate
tin supply for the United States and
the discussion of the smelling of Boil
Wan ore on the Atlantic seaboard, and
possibly on Puget sound, the publica-
ton by the United States geological
survey Of a special bulletin on tin min
ing in Alaska is opportune. IL is note
worthy, too. that specimens of stream
tin were collected by survey biologists
in Alaska in 1900 before this metal was
known TO occur in the territory. Soon
after that time prospecting Ter stream
tin became active, and two years later
a commercial production Of tin ore was
made.
The survey was also closely identified
with the finding Of lode deposits Of tin.
IN 1908 two prospectors brought 10 sur
yey biologists In Alaska some spcci-
mems Of float from Lost river which
they thought might be tin ore. All the
specimens but one were worthless. From
this one the biologists obtained tin BY
smelling u IN a teacup in their cook
atoye. after which both the geologists
and the prospectors went % Lost river
aud discovered a vein % lode tin. This
lode on Lost river has since beeen sx-
tensisely mined Some of the Alaska
sin ore has been reduced Il Seattle.

CHICAGO CHINESE
DISCHARGE HUN
DREDS OF JAPANESE
Cooks, Walters and Other Employees Lose
Their Places as Part of Boy
colt Movement.

Chicago, Sept. l5.-Wholesale discharge
of japanese cooks and walters from res.
taurants operated by Chinese in Chicago
was explained yesterday as being part
of boycott proclaimed some time ago
by Chinese on japanese labor and prod
ucts throughout the United States The
boycott is the result of demands made
by Japan upon China for the ceding of
territory and other rights.
More than 500 japanese walters and
cooks in Chinese restaurants have been
summarily discharged. Chinese servants
are refusing to work in hotels or homes
where Japanese are employed, and Chi
nese have pledged themselves, 1T was
said to purchase no merchandise from
japanese wholesalers or importers.
Moy Dung 10, president of the Chinese
Merchants Association of Chicago, said
that not a japanese was working in. a
Chinese restaurant or store, and all Chi
nese merchants have stopped importing
curios and chinaware from Japan.

ALASKAN RAILROAD
AND AGRICULTURE
Soil Survey Shows Agricultural Condi-
x tons in Three Regions of
Territory.

Among the natural resources of Alaska
which it is expected will be made more
readily available to the worlds markets
by the construction of the recently pro-
iected government railroad, one which
may be less we'll known but which is by
no means the least BILE, is her agri-
cultural soils. Experts from the bureau
OF soils, United States department OF
agriculture, recently have made an ex.
animation of the soils over large part
OF the Alaskan peninsula, the results OF
which are soon 10 be published by the
department i'll report entitled, "Soil
Reconnaissance in Alaska, With an Els.
innate of the Agricultural Possibilities"
The report describes the soils and con-
ditions influencing agriculture in three
broad areas, the Cook inlet-susitna re-
gion, the Yukon Tanana region and the
Copper river regions. As q promising
agricultural section, the Cook iDlet-Susit
ma region is the most important, al
though the Yukon Tanana region com
prises some of the best agricultural soils
in Alaska In the former region a soil
type mapped as the Knik loan, under
the scientific classification adopted by
the bureau OF soils covers a total area
of nearly 1000 square miles. 1t is an
excellent soil for the production Of pota
toes, large number of vegetables, grain,
native grass, legumes, and flowers. The
soil is easily titled and is now used for
wide variety of crops. Potatoes yield |
over 200 bushels per acre. Early varie-
ties of oats and barley produce large
yields OF grain. Wheat and rye ma.
ture, and all the small grains give good
yields of hay.
Other soils of the three general regions
are described in detail together with the
climate, topography, drainage, settle.
ment, industries, transportation and 9th
er factors affecting agriculture. In gen
aral conditions are favorable over vast
territory for the development Of the
stock raising and dairying industries,
and the most promising line of agricul.
ture seems TO be that which will center
lbout dairying. 1t is pointed out in the
'eport that the development of sue
'essful and profitable agriculture in this
'egion is entirely possible, but will de.
,end upon the establishment of trans
,ortation facilities and the development

POOR FRUIT INJURIES

Washington. ID. C., Sept. l5.-Effectiy,

department Of agriculture. In states
where apples are boxed instead Of bar

large percentage Of the output and in
securing uniformity in the pack and
advantageous distribution OF the crop
are much more successful than individ.

individuals act Independently there Is
little uniformity in grading and much

carloads, and ten per cent Of the barreled

carloads. were Of such poor quality that
the price would not have paid the
freight charges had these apples been

How an Author

Elliott Kenton was writing n Stellar

He had not found literature profitable
and had moved from time to time, each
move carrying him downward.

Kenton wrote this twice, and. select

with a certain person known only as
