NIGHT SCHOOLS OPENED
More Than 900 in Washington Last
Year Sought characterization.
Illiteracy Widespread.

Ernest l.. Thur3ton, superintendent OF
Public Schools of the District. has Of
fered to the Bureau Of Naturalization OF
the Department of Labor the co-opera-
ton of the schools under his supervision.
thus insuring the participation Of the
District in the national movement In
augurated and now being carried on by
the Bureau of Naturalization for the
Americanization of the candidates for
citizenship throughout the country.
The night schools of the District OF
Columbia opened last night. Students
who have a knowledge of the English
language may enter any night school.
Foreigners who have no command of
the English language may attend the
night classes at the Jefferson and Thom-
son grade schools, where the main weight
is on teaching the English language. al
though incidentally attention is applied
to phases of United States history. and
other matters that tend toward a knowl-
edge of the country and the develop
ment of American spirit.
The Bureau of Naturalization will,
from month to month during the cur
rent scholastic year, furnish Mr.. Thurs
ton with the names and addresses of
aliens residing within his jurisdiction who
file petitions for naturalization and de-
clarations of intention. This will en-
able the school authorities to get into
touch with such applicants and give them
valua BILE assistance in preparing for citi-
zenship.
Statistics show Needs.
Last year there were 6l0 who applied
for citizenship in the District. Since
July l. 1910, 1,6ss aliens have declared
their intention and 1,07l have filed final
applications for citizenship.
The necessity for the education of
aliens residing in the District is clear
Iy shown by the following figures
taken from the latest statistics avail
able:
The foreign-born white population
in 1910 was 24.351. or "a per cent of
the total population. or this number
11.73s were males who had attained
their majority and only GAIA were
shown to have been naturalized.
In 1910 there were 5.0s2 males over
81 years of age who were classed as
illiterate. OF these. $40 were foreign
born whites and 391 were native
whites. the percentage of illiteracy be-
ing 6.s for the former and 0.6 for the
latter. The percentages in 1900 were
90 for native whites and so for for
eign- born whites. thus showing that
while there has been a decline in the
proportion of illiterates among the ma
tive whites there has been a marked
increase in illiteracy among the for
eign-born whites.
There were 1.349 white persons 10
years of age and over in 1910 who
were unable to speak the English
language. as compared with only 254
in 1900. an increase of 431 per cent IN
ten years.
Among the approximately 100000
foreign born residents in the United
States in 1910. 1.650.361 foreign-born
whites were classed as illiterate.
These illiterates are the natural prey
of designing and scheming foreigners
and natives as well and are compelled
to pay tribute. both in cash and blood.

Must Have HeaIthfuI Sleep.

Edison. the inventor, has been quoted as saying that little sleep is necessary, and that the time will come when mankind will not sleep at all. and therefore not waste fourth or fifth of valuable time of the 24 hours of the day in condition equivalent to death. At the moment, of course. MT. Edison was breaking into the role of the professional humorist. All of the thing called nature demands rest, and the most eloquent description of misery ever written was that in Mac beth." when it was declared that the murderous thane should sleep no more that he had murdered sleep. So the person who fails to have healthful sleep has in one way or another mur- dered sleep.

Thrifty Hogs Fed on Forage Crops.

Thrifty Hogs Fed on Forage Crops. The rape should be sowed in three plats and at intervals of about three weeks.
 The rape stalks should net be too closely pastured after the leaves are eaten of. When this plan Is followed, the rape should be from 14 to IS inches high when the pigs are turned into it. For less intensive feeding, where fewer animals are to be kept on the same piece of ground for a longer period, rape is sown broadcast with oats and clover. Five pounds of rape. six pounds of clover. and one bushel of oats are sown to the acre. The swine should not be turned into this until the crop Is from eight to ten inches high, after which each acre with a good stand of the crop will sup ply Is spring pigs with forage for the rest of the season.
 Clover, before it becomes matured. is 8 most valuable forage crop for swine. For the corn belt. clover and corn make one of the best combina- tions known for cheap pork produc- tion. Because of the tendency of clover to kill out, it is most satisfactorily grown in a rotation with other farm crops rather than in small plats to be intensively stocked. But whether or not clover is a satisfactory forage for swine depends largely on the season as affecting growth the stand. and the state of growth at which this is fed. Under favorable conditions, red clover has been found even more profitable than rape as forage for spring pigs. The value of alfalfa for growing swine has been fully demon strated in the western states. where 1t is grown abundantly. but in some of the north central states it has not as yet. in those states, the value of this forage crop cannot be fully es- timated.
 The use of clover. alfalfa, rape or a red-cloverand-oat mixture properly grown for forage should make sav ing of from 25 to 30 per cent in the grain ration for growing and fattening swine. To get the best results. the crop must be carefully seeded. fed at the right stage of growth. and never overstocked at the beginning of the feeding period or trampled when the ground is wet. An acre sown to these crops, properly grown and cared for. should furnish forage for about four months for 15 to 20 spring shoats. Then. to finish the animals for mar ket, heavy grain feeding is begun.

COOKS MUCH RICE AT ONCE
Housekeeper Recommends Her Way as Time Saving and Making for
 Economy.

In winter, owing to the low tenn perature, I cook large supply of rice at one time, as much as four cupfuls. The wholesale cooking saves fuel and enables me to have con- stant supply on hand, which l use in the following way:
 Some use as side dish with meat instead of potatoes, for l find it is cheaper and more nourishing, pound for pound, being in addition much easier to prepare. While the rice is still hot, line ring mold with about one cupful of it, and set away to shape and cool At the same time, l set aside in a small pan enough for small pudding on the fol- lowing day and another portion I beat with eggs and at once shape as rice cakes for breakfast. Sometimes I save a portion to be used with cro- quettes. I serve the ring of rice with leftovers of any kind of meat, heated with warm, rich gravy, filled into the center of the ring, which makes a substantial second meal. Sometimes combine it with a cheese sauce.-Ex- change.

 Though there are not the same num- Der of dressings, there are a number made by adding different ingredients to the ordinary dressings. The best known and most popular of these are French dressing. mayonnaise, thousand island and roquefort cheese. The sim plest of these salads is the hearts of lettuce with thousand island dressing, or the requefort cheese dressing. The Romaine salad Is good either with the French dressing or with the roquefort cheese dressing.
