raj pupils enrolled on the school reg
lister actually attend school during
the year.
In theory, the North Atlantic states
have a rural school term of 1891
days, but in practice, because of the
poor average daily attendance, the
actual rural school term is less than
12O days; in theory in the South Az
lantic states it is 1875 days, but in
practice because of the poor average
daily attendance, it is less than so
DAYS; in theory, the south central
states, it is 117.6 days, but in prac-
tice, because of the poor average
daily attendance, it is only 100 days;
in theory, in western states it is 145
days, but in practice, because of the
poor average daily attendance, it is
only 1915 days.
1t must be remembered that these
figures deal only with the average
length of the rural school term as
based upon the enrolment of pupils
in rural schools. No attempt is made
to take into consideration the large
number of rural pupils who should
have been enrolled, but who were not
because of lax enforcement of com
nulSOrv' attendance laws or an entire
lack of such laws, or on account of
ignorant or selfish parents who kept
their children out of school for the pur-
pose of coming their own flesh and
blood into a few paltry dollars-or
worse still, allowed their children to
grow up in idleness and ignorance.

THE AlRSHIP A FACTOR IN
EUROPEAN WAR ZONES.

Paris, July 29.-An airship at 1000
yards height is able to make observa-
tions over a surface of ground 800
miles in diameter, according to infor-
nation collected in the discussion of
the services that aircraft has render
ed during the war. An aviator at
1000 yards height has within his Wis
ion a zone 70 miles in diameter. Ac-
cordingly, the Able MoreauX of the
Bourges Observatory has figured out
that an aviator of the entrenched
camp of Paris at 1000 yards height
is able to see as far as Chartres, Or
leans, Beauvais, Amiens, and the Ger
man front beyond Compiegne, with
the city of Laon.
This visibility, calculated mathe-
matically, is rarely possible, how
ever, in practice, because atmos-
pheric conditions are seldom just
right for it.

Treat Your Battery to a Drink,

II is very easy matter in the
summer time when a motor car Is
used every day to grow careless about
some of the important parts Of the
car.
Because Of the increased amount OF
driving, however, and especially drlv-
ing at night, the storage battery can
not be neglected If the owner wishes
to get results from his starting and
lighting system.
A storage battery needs plenty of
water in the summer time just like a
human being on account of the
warmer weather, n battery should re-
ceive pure distilled water every week.
The reason for this is explained by
the Willard Storage Battery company,
who say:
Warm weather makes the solution
in the battery evaporate rather quick.
". This solution is what gives The
battery It's life and if allowed to set
below a level with the top of the
battery plates, these plates Will be
exposed to the air and the exposed
portion will be damaged by oXidd-
tion.
"In addition to this damage to the
battery, if the owner neglects to fill
the cells with water, the generator
on his car will overhead his battery
and ruin 1t in very short time.
This matter of giving the battery
plenty of water is so important that
we have instructed all our service
stations, (Which number over SOO) to
advise car owners in their respective
territories regarding these points, and
to fill batteries with water whenever
requested"

When the Zeppelin raids have been

"the women have come out of their

played an important part in the
scheme of afraid warnings and have
set a very good example of the whole
country
"In Dublin, when the bullets were
flying and fires were raging, the
women stuck to their work in the
exchange, and it was due to them
that communication was kept up and
that we are able to obtain the mill

bellion."
More than $4,000 women have re
