Inui, will keep its hold on the people
against the invading baseball, though
it may have to see the American
game promoted to an equal footing.
There are 48 standard holds used by
Japanese wrestlers. A fall is counted
when any part of the body above the
knees touches the ground.
Against this, understood by every
Japanese and surrounded by tradition,
baseball must make headway. It is
making it, but so far has gained
ground only among the colleges, where
it is the rage, as football is here.
Crowds attend the games, especially
when American teams, such as have
visited Japan recently, are taking
part, but they are more like the foot
ball crowds in tIis country than the
baseball mobs.

Canada's Capital.

The old seat of government In
French Canada was the city OF Que
bee. Under British rule the capital
was Montreal, but as a result of a
riot in 1S49 the government was re-
moved and alternated between Toron-
to and Quebec until 1858, in which
year Queen Victoria selected Ottawa
as the capital of Canada. Ottawa was
founded under the name of Bytown in
1929 and was Incorporated in 1854
when the name was changed.

Diseases That Ravaee Armies.

Modern science has done much to
Danish disease amongst soldiers, and
the scourges of smallpox, malaria and
cholera, which in former campaigns
have killed more men than bullets,
have lost much of their menace for
fighting men. There still remain,
however, diseases such as dysentery,
pneumonia, and enteric, which are
likely to break out amongst bodies
of troops unless careful precautions
are taken by the men themselves.

in which she shows how women can have
the smartest clothes at modest prices.
Writing an article entitled "The Comic
in Dress" Miss Gould tells in part as
follows about some of the sights to
be seen on Fifth avenue in New York
City:
Fashion announces the wider skirt.
The sensible woman adopts the new
fashion in q sensible, decorous way;
but not so all women. For instance,
there was the stout woman ! saw.
"She was big and Jolly looking, and
she came down the avenue like a bal
loon on the end Of stick. Ii appar-
emily had tried her very soul to mince
along in the tight skirts of last spring,
80 now she was reyeling in an extra
wide skirt. She bounced and beloved;
her feet we're risky in their new free
dom. prancing as If in gay new dance.
ACROSS the way there was another
mdicrous. looking person. Apparently She,
too, knew all about the vogue of the
wide skirt. Her skirt was wide and
very. very short; but, alas, she was
quite too broad for this new fashion.
In appearance she was plain and short
and heavily built all over.
"lou would imagine that intuitively
she would select long skirt and an in
shoe Instead. her skirt WAS
eight good inches from the ground and
her thick ankles were pnca spd in white
spats. Surely she was a sight to see:
but in no way did she add charm to the
vista"

coLoRADo'S COUNTRY EDUCATION
System Has Far Fewer Advantages Than
City System.

while city children enjoy the best
that money can buy, country children
must be content with the ragged edges
of our public school SYSTEM" asserts G.
| g. Sargent, OF the Colorado Agricultural
college, in a report on Colorado rural
schools received by the United States
/ bureau of education.
Professor Sargent, who investigated
! the smaller country school districts in
Colorado There are ,725 such districts
with less than $50 children of school
| agej is led to the conclusion that "the
district system has something funda-
mentally wrong about it,"
One county was found that had 1907
independent districts, consisting of 32l
directors, with supervision over 1922
children, director for every 20 children.
One district did not for seven years re-
port a child, yet kept its independent
organization. elected its school board each
year, levied no taxes and spent no mon
ey for education" I'm one county were
found three and a wo-teacher school
just one mile apart on a level road "with
the only impossible barrier between
them" Mr.. Sargent declares, "an imag-
mary line forming district boundaries.
Furthermore, the teachers passed each
other twice a day in going to and from
their schools" In another section Of
the state "a four mile radius will include
all of the habitable posts Of seven sep.
arate independent school districts, having
total Of 500 children Of school age, II
teachers, and property with an assessabls
value OF over 81 100000"
OF the l,725 school districts of the
state having not over $50 children, the
average school census for the past eight
years was 72.l74, while the average en-
rollment was only 64.3s5, or IS per cent.
OF the census. "While Colorado has COM

however. that school age" includes all
children from six TO 81 years of age,
