FORMER SECRETARY KNOX APPROVES WILSON'S COURSE
 IN PROTEST TO ENGLAND

adverse conditions If the British right of search was extended so as to make our commerce unprohtable, that would be just cause for more than an expression of regret from do not know whether it has reached that point or not. Conner cial men know more about that, but I can readily see where it would be harmful. Men do not carry on com merce with the idea of having their claims collected by diplomatic rela- tions. l imagine it is more the fear Of this than what actually has hap pened that has inspired the note of protest.
 { @The present controversy is not covered by treaties It is entirely a question of international law. Whether the certification of car goes by the United States would clear up the situation, I do not know. American commerce has a right to deal with any nation It Is not the business of the government to- su- pervise cargoes sent from here. There always is a way that comm cree can be carried on even under the present adverse conditions It is that way thatII believe President Wilson is seeking to find. There must be a way, although cannot now point it sout."
 Something Like 1s12
 MT Knox sees similarity betwee the conditions that brought about the war between England and Amer ica in 1912 and the present situation, but would not be specific.
 @Oh, yes. there is a similarity = he said. sThe contentious in thee present situation are not novel But conditions are so different at this time from what they were in 1812. While I cannot see anything strik- ingly siInilar, there are sinnilarities. =
 Concerning the Englsh contention that Great Britain is justifled in seizing American ships designated Ito neutral ports through a precedent established by the United States dur ing the Civil War, MT. Knox was non-comnita1. He gave as his req son for refusing to make comment that he did not care to express an opinion without examining decisions of the United States supreme court.

 MT. Knox said he could not recall this case. He refused to say wh ether, if there were no others, this deci- sion would establish a precedent for England to follow in it's present course.

HIGH SCHOOLS Of
COUNTRY GROWING
Report Shows There Are r.
100000 People Attending
Institutions.
BY victor Elliott.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Twenty
two million persons were enrolled IN
educational institutions in the United
States in 1914, according to the annual
reports of the commissioner of educa-
ton, just issued.
Nineteen million of these were in
elementary schools; 1,374,000 in sec
ondary schools. both in public and
private; and 10000 in colleges and
universities.
Close TO another 100, 600 were in
normal schools preparing TO be teach
ers. 81. coo were in professional schools
and the remainder were scattered
through other types of institutions.
The teachers for this educational
army numbered 700. 900 of whom $50,
600 were in public schools.
In point of rapid growth the public
high school still presents the most i'm
pressive figures. the enrolment in
1914 showing S4 600 more than in
1913.
Seven hundred and fifty million dol
lars was the cost of education for the
year, according 10 an estimate made
b the bureau of education. on this
point the report says:
This three-quarters of a billion is
a relatively small amount when COM
pared with other items in the public
expense.
1T is less by ssOO.OOO.OOO than the
cost Of running the federal govern
ment: it is less than one-third OF the
nations expenditure for alcoholic Ii
quors: il is only a little over three
times the estimated cost Of admissions

United States for the same years.
Greater Than Cotton Crop.
Measured in terms Of products CT
the soil. the United States spent
somewhat more for education in 1914
than the value Of its cotton crop.
somewhat less than the value of its
wheat crop, and less than half the
value Of the annual harvest Of corn;
while the nations bill for education
was less by nearly n hundred millions
than the value of the exports from the
harbor OF New York in the calendar
year just passed
Very little increase is vet 10 be
noted in the average term for public
schools.
Between 1910 and 1919 the increase
was from 1873 DAYS a year TO ISL
La growth OF only siX-tenths Of a day
in three years.
Attendance has improved. however.
The average number of days attended
10y each person enrolled increased
from US in 1910 20 1856 i'm 1913.

commonly regarded as unhealthy and
even poinosous. This belief probably
arose because Of the close resemblance
Of the plant to its allied relative the
nightshade. or belladOnna, and had, of
course, no foundation in fact. 1t was
not until the early part of the 10th
century that the tomato came into
general use as a food in northern Eu-
rope and even in the United states.
Since about 1885, however, the use
and cultivation of the vegetable has
grown to such an extent that it has
now become one Of the most import
ant of our garden crops.
Canning Develops Industry.
When a successful process of can
ming the fruit was evolved the tomato
industry at once assumed large pro-
portions. Ii was found that for all
cooking purposes the canned fruit was
as good as that fresh from the vine
and as result the tomato has become
a staple food the year round, and mil
lions of dollars are now invested in
canning factories in the United States.
whose chief output consists of toma-
toes.
From statistics compiled by the Ma
tiOnal Gamers association for the
year 1914 il is learned that among the
tomato producing states Maryland
ranked first with a production of 3,
S30.OOO cases OF canned tomatoes:
Delaware second with 1885, goo cases;
Indiana third with 10000 CASES. The
total production for the whole country
amounted TO 1929. 600 cases of toma-
toes and about 5000. OOOcases of to-
mato pulp. (used in making catsup,
sauces, soups. etc. The total was
therefore over 0,00O. 600 cases OF "a
twC-pOund cans each, or an output of
100000 cans, weighing 100000
tons. and having an approximate value
of $2S,OOO,00O. If these cans were
placed one on top of the other. the re-
/ sulting column would be very nearly
$4,000 miles high. or if placed end to
. end in row would encircle the earth
one and a half times at the equator.
These figures deal only with the can
ned product Of factories keeping ac-
| curate statistics. When we remember
| that perhaps twice as many more are
/ eaten raw and canned by the thrifty
| housewives and Girls Canning clubs
we may set some idea OF the import
ance in our national economy OF the
