theory that Samuel Cord, wealthy real
estate dealer and lumber merchant OF
Philadelphia and Laurel Springs, n. j.,
was murdered last Monday as the out
ONE of a lumber transaction involving
more than a million dollars. Olaf Peter.
son, partner OF the dead man in the
Buchannon Lumber Company. who was
arrested AS a material witness. told the
Prosecutor to-day that he believed this
lumber contract was at the bottom of
the mystery.
Both men were also officers OF the
Florida Land Improvement Company
and "A check for $4,000 to this concern
as a first payment on $l25,0OO from the
Florida Lumber Company was due to-
day. Whether this check arrived TO-DAY
or not the Prosecutor would not say, nor
would he illuminate the report that a
contract covering this matter between
the two companies had been found in
peterson's pocket.
MIR. Kraft refused also to give the
names on two unsent letters found In
Cords pockets. one of them was adj
dressed to "A married woman and the
other to an unmarried woman.
Peterson has given the authorities
considerable Information regarding the
lumber deal. and the detectives are
working on the idea that this transac-
ton, which apparently would have
meant much to Cord, aroused the
enmity OF his competitors, A boy EN-
ployed in the office OF Cord in the Bull
lit Building in Philadelphia has de.
scribcd a man whom. he says. he was
forbidden To admit to Cords Office.
Peterson says he will spare no expense
in tracing the murderer or the persona
who instigated the crime.

THE IMMIGRANT CHILD.

Every immigrant child arriving at
United States port of entry will
henceforth be reported Immediately
to the school authorities in the local
Iity to which he is destined, so that
/ he may be placed in school without
loss of time and without Danger oil
being shunted OFF INTO unlawful EN-
iployment This is made possible by
Icooperation between two Federal bu'
Ireaus-the Bureau Of immigration oil
the Department of Labor ana the Bu'
reau of Education in the Department
| of the Interior.
Bureau of Education officials point
out that the success of the plan VIII
depend almost entirely upon the
school authorities. II the attend
ance officer follows up at once the
families where the newly arrived I'M
migrants have been received, 1t Will
be possible to enroll every child In
school. Otherwise, the child is apt
to accept employment and be forever
beyond the influence of American ed
ucatiOn.
1t is pointed out that about 10000
children between the ages of and
Il6 enter the United States annually;
So per cent of these come from non
English speaking countries, particu
larly from southern Italy, Poland
Russia, Lithuania, and other eastern
and southern European and Asiatic
countries. Unless these children
come into contact with American life
through the public school. they are
likely to grow up ignorant of Ameri-
can institutions and thoroughly unfit
for citizenship.
DR.. P. P. Claxton. Commissioner of
Education, has communicated with
| city and county superintendent
throughout the United States, urging
them to use every effort to seek out
the children reported to them by the
immigration authorities and see that
they are enrolled in school.

sEERtEY ON SUFFRAGE.

AS Mr.. Homer II. Seerley, PreSi
uent of the Iowa State College al
Cedar Falls, was for many years su
perintendent. of the Oskaloosa
schools, his IDEAS will be of local in
tereSt. In a recent interview he
said:
Equal suffrage is a necessity tC
the present civilization because il
will require all women to have a def
mite local residence and acquire a
personal interest III the welfare OF
any community where they Temporal
rily make their homes. This is par
ticularly true of all self-supporting
single women who are following va
riOus occupations and who ought
20 have a legal situation which re,
quires them to recognize their re
sponsiblity for the conditions that
exist in society. Public school teach
ers could be an influential class OF
workers for the amelioration of So
ciety, yet they are but weak repre-
sentatives of such power as person
.alities when they have no authority
to assist in such acts as are essen
tial to that amelioFa tionI The pres
ent pubic school teacher in the ma
jOrity of communities is not a mem
Der of a local church, of local organ
iZatiOns, social, intellectual or char
table, and, hence, does not feel that
it is any of her business or interest
to be thus identified. She is occupy
ing the position of a member Of so
ciety and hence slfe can contribute
but little to the great work that is
being maintained for a higher and q
better civilization. Suffrage is need
ed by the women for themselves iii
order to give them opportunity to de
velOp character, capability and con
science as individuals and in order tC
cause them to share in responsible
ity and citizenship the same as men
Deprive any class of men of suffrage
and the opportunities for full devel
opment are closed. So women
should have the opportunities and the
privileges of being American citi
Zens in the fullest sense"

THE ROCKS OF AGES.

Scientists hesitate to estimate geo
logic time in terms of years. Such
estimates have, however, been made,
and one published by Prof. Charles
Schuchert in 1910 states that about
Il2,OOG, 900 years have elapsed since
the close of the CaTbOniferous age,
an age, as the name suggests, IN
which great deposits OF carbon, III
coal. were being formed in many
trarts of the world This age has
been divided by biologists into the
Mississippian, Pennsylvania, d
Permian epOchs, of which the Missis,
sippian is the Oldest and the Permian
the youngest The Pennsylvania
epoch alone is estimated by Schu'
ebert to have covered 2,l60,0GO years,
and animal life is supposed to have
eristed on the earth for over $4,000,
900 years before that time.
Geologic periods are recognized
primarily by the animals and plants
that lived in them, so that the study
of fossils plays a very real and i'm
portant part in the progress of geo,
logic knowledge. Rocks OF Carbon
ferrous age, as shown by their fossils,
have wide distribution in the Unit,
ed States, and they are apt to abound
in these remains of plant ard animal
life. The fossil shells which are
found in them. however, may vary
greatly from point to point, because
the animals they represent lived in
different periods OF geologic time or
in different regions in the Carbonif-
erous ocean. In this connection a
recent publication of the United
State Geological SurVey-Bulletin 544
describes the fauna OF the Wewoka
formation of Oklahoma, a formation
consisting OF a group OF rocks OF
Pennsylvania age in region where
the geology is not as well known as
in the upper Mississippi and Ohio
valleys. The report describes l4O
different fossils, some OF which are
new to science, while others have a
distribution well-nigh as wide as the
continent and a range as long as all
Pennsylvania time.

THE GREAT WHITE WAY.

Pella Chronicles: What mas be-
come of our former enthusiasm re-
garding the Great White Way? 1t
has been a long time since we have
heard anything in the nature of a
boost for that shortest and best road
across the state. If We want people
to know we have such a road, we
must let them know it through the
newspapers and otherwise. We re-
peat a suggestion We made a few
years ago Why not let every town
along the road prepare a few things
of general interest about the town,
it's people, and it's history and have
photographs of inteSting objects
in a neat pamphlet. These are the
methods used by the towns of Colo
RADIO, California and other states i'll
the tourist business, and we see no
reason why it would not be advan'
tageous for the towns on the Great
White Way. There are many things
of interest at Pella worth putting
into such a pamphlet, and, no doubt,
every town along the road has some
thing that would interest a traveller
from a distance A proper advertis-
ing of these features would not only
bring travellers through the country,
but would cause many to stop OFF for
short stay to their satisfaction and
our profit. Why not?

JApANs DAY OF RECKONING.

The United States doesn't stand
alone in Directing to Japan's attempt
to bottle up China. Great Britain,
Japan's ally, is as much concerned
about it as We are. The London
Daily News said last week:
"Japan's demands in their new as
in their old form invite threefold
judgment-that they conflict with es-
tablished rights of other powers, that
the violate the principle of equal
rights and that they are inconsistent
with either the integrity or the SOW
ereignty of China. The net effect OF
acceptance by China will be that in
time China would become something
very like a dependency of Japan.
And it gives Japan this wise advice,
which the United States can we'll sec
ond and emphasize:
The European war has given Jap
an a tempting opportunity, and pos
sibly no other power would have re-
sisted it, But there is wisdom in
moderation, and the Japanese gov
eminent would do well to consider
whether it is taking a long view in
exploiting it's chances so merCilessiy.
There is a future as well as pres
ent to be taken into the reckoning
