GETS FRENCH CAR CONTRACT.
Pullman Company to Build Wooden
Cars for Allied Army Use.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2s. 49, The Pullman
company of this city is figuring on a
contract with the French government
for 10000 freight cars and is throwing
out a dragnet all over the country for
steel. II will not get enough steel right
away to strain the net very badly. A
SHOEMAKER remarks that if he accept
ed all the orders offered him he could
not complete delivery before 1920. In
this ease the amount of steel required
is not great, for the ears are to be
wooden and only those parts that are
used in the most ordinary cars need
be of steel. They will not even have
steel underframe. The railroads of
this country have nearly given up the
idea Of getting steel cars, because
that is an almost impossible task il
deliveries are to be made within q
reasonable time, and are therefore
resorting to wood. 1t is not necessary
that these French cars shall be OF
steel. They are of the simple four
wheel variety. 1t is therefore as
sumed that this order is to meet mill
tary requirements, and inasmuch as i
cannot be filed entirely for som,
months, one may presume that tn,
French government is looking for II,
early cessation of the war.

EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS.
Present Methods of Training Need
Revising Badly.

We seem to cherish the agreeable
hypothesis that all our boys and girls
grow up equal, that all are frst-class,
and all alike fitted for the intense and
varied requirements of modern life. On
this hypothesis we plan complacently
our educational and training systems.
The disparity between what we wish
for aud what we get comes out soon
enough but not until the results are
past remedying or, if remedial, have
already involved great economic loss.
The proof of the error in our origi-
nal hypothesis is furnished by the large
numbers of persons who fail hopeless
~, by those who waste time and money
in changing occupations before they
find one suited TO them, by those who
never find occupations in which they
do well enough TO be entirely independ-
emit. In the state of New York, with a
population of nine and one-half mil.
lions, there are nearly three hundred
thousand persons who are registered
every year as unable to take care of
themselves, either by reason of phvsi.
cal disability, mental defects, or crimi.
nality. For every one whose ineiliciency
leaves him stranded on state or prI
vate charity, there are doubtless three
or four who, though practically of nc
constructive use, have escaped regis
tration. 1t would, perhaps, not be fan
out of the way to assume that 10 pei
cent of the adult male population OF
this state, are, for some reason or other
and for shorter or longer periods, in d
position. of approximate if not absolute
economic dependence.
The percentage of failures in our col
leges is extravagantly large. 1t is least
where the requirements for entrance
are high. Seventeen per cent of one
class was dropped from the academic
department of an eastern university
well known for its rigid examinations
In one of the best American schools OF
technology, not more than forty out
of every hundred men entering receiv,
diplomas at the end of four years. A re
cent review of ten consecutive claSse,
i'm fourteen American colleges showet
as an average result that from twenty

COUNTY WINS INDIAN TAX SUIT
More Than Half Million Involved In
Test Case at Pawhuska.

Pawhuska-In test case submitted
to District Judge R. H. Hudson as the
result of conference In which the
government and county and state
authorities were represented in rela-
ton to the taxation of the surplus
lands Of the Usage Indians. the county
Of Usage won first blood.
The subject came up to the court
in re-appeal by Franklin Hickman ON
the action of the board Of county
commissioners in refusing to grant a
correction of assessment. Judge Hud-
son held unconstitutional section IA,
chapter 152, session laws 1911, provid-
ing for the correction Of assessments
by the county commissioners, in that
the title to the bill does not clearly
indicate that the board of county
commissioners have any duties to per-
form.
Commissioners are without any au-
thority to make any corrections under
the section.
CAS- the result Of conference it was
agreed that this case should be car
ried to the state supreme court at
once for final decision irrespective
of the decision Of the local court. II
Judge Hudson's decision is upheld the
entire state is involved, as all coun-
ties have been working under the
section, About 100000 Of taxes due
on surplus Usage Indian land is like
wise involved. The government is
willing to settle the taxes for the
Indians if the commissioners are given
the authority to make the adjustments
asked under the stipulations submitted
to the court.

U. s. ARMY LEADS WORLD

"The United States Army or a
Career" is descriptive booklet,
amply illustrated with pictures,
many Of them in colors.
"The Army of the United States
is the best fed, best paid and best
kept army in the world" 1t is de-
clared in the book.
In considering the pay of soldier,
1t should be borne In mind that 1t is
practically clear money, as all neces-
sary expenses, such as board, lodg-
ing. clothing. medical attendance,
and practically everything in the
way of necessities, except laundry,
are provided without cost to the sol
der.
In referring to pay after retire.
ment and provision for death or dis
ability, it is cited in this work that
there are few Industrial institutions
in civil life that take such care of
tnelr employees when they become old
or when they have served faithfully
the major part of their lives, as the
government does with regard to its
soldiers.
To illustrate, continues the work !;
take the case of man who works for
a private firm for thirty years, and
what will he get at the end of the
time? Usually, If he has become old
in the service, he is no longer want
ed, and is thrown upon the world.
and unless he has been able to saw
and accumulate he has nothing upon
which to live. Even If he has been
saving, he probably will not have saf-
ficient to keep him the rest Of his life,
while II ne has served the govern
ment as soldier, he not only has the
