The further We delYe INTO the

Whether poor attendance Of pu.
pills comes from indifference Of
parents, sleeping public opin-
ion or a lax enforcement of com
pulsory attendance laws or from
all Of these things--the penalty
falls hardest and most directly
upon the children in their lost op-
portunity for an education
though society must pay heavy
toll in the need for its own SHINING
against such children.
AS a concrete example Of the
magnitude and gravity Of these
problems in some Of the states,
take Pennsylvania. The enroll
ment in her public schools for the
year ending July ). 1918, reached
the colossal figure Of l,46l ,937
The average daily attendance in
her public schools for that year
was ,l66,5l3-7making her aver
age daily absences climb to The
startling number 291, ,424, The
cost OF enforcing the compulsory
attendance law in Pennsylvania
for the same year was l96,99l7l,
These figures cover both rural and
urban schools. The latest avail
able statistics on separate attend
ance in urban and rural schools Of
Pennsylvania (l9l0) show that
the number attending daily il
every 100 enrolled in the urban
schools Of that state was ~. while
in the rural schools il was only
7G.6. II is evident, therefore, that
the rural schools Of Pennsylvania
had a larger per cent OF pupils in
the 295 .424 daily ahsentees than
did it's urban schools. Yet Penn
sylvania is one Of the six states
with the highest daily attendance.

WOULD LET SENATE
 OVERSEE S|SAL SALE
Mexican Planters Propose That Senate Committee
 Take Charge

Washington, April 1.-Representatives of the Commission Reguladore, the or ganization of Mexican ssal planters, financed by American capital, which con- trols Yucatan's supply of binder twine raw material, informed a Senate investi- gating committee today that they had or hand 125,000 bales of sisal and pro- posed that the committee supervise the sale of the entire amount
 This action followed charges and coun- ter-charges by the agents of the commit tee and the International Harvester com pany and suggestions that the American farmer was facing a serious shortage of twine. The committee adjourned for the day without considering the proposal and Chairman Ransdell said he could not say what would be done with it. The offer was to let the committee dispose of the 125,000 bales at the present prices to such manufacturers as within 15 days gave as- surances that the twine was needed for manufacturing purposes and was not bought for speculation.

USED NOVEL MEANS
 TO GET PICTURES
Many of Wild Animals Were Taken
 by Camera Concealed in Papier Mache Cow

Not the least interesting feature of the moving pictures of wild animals which pr. John w. Ruskin the noted natural ist and Arctic explorer. will exhibit at the Bijou theatre for the coming week is the manner in which MT Ruskin and his party lived while securing the pictures, and many of the artificial devices adapt ed in order to take many of the pie lures.
 As has already been announced, the fa- nous Ruskin "close-to-nature' motion pictures of wild animals, reptiles. birds and insects taken in their native haunts, will be shown at the Bijou theatre twice daily beginning with the matinee Sunday afternoon, throughout the week.
 Possibly one of the most ingenious de- vices used by pr. RusSin was COW made of substantial framework, F feet in height, and covered with papier mache and painted to resemble the COW in na- ture. A door in the side was made large enough for them to get through h. side. the operator was able to sit upright and place the Tense of the camera to a small opening in the neck of the 1ml- tation COW. It was placed in clearings and in other spots where animals came out. either to eat their food or drink This device enabled Dr. Ruskin to get within 10 to 30 feet of everything that he wanted photographed
 Ten years is long time to work he said. ito get pictures together, and only after an enormous expense, the sac rificing of the lives of six men and an endless amount of patience, courage ana ingenuity, enabled us to bring back to the public the living creatures or tne earth, shown in their natural haunts' without hunting them by armed natiVes' dogs or catching them in traps Won- derfully portrayed by our film

Metropolitan Life Vice Pres ident Finds Big Improve ment in Southern
 Conditions

Haley Fiske of New York, vice presi- dent of the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance company, is in Birmingham, accom- panied by a number of the prominent officials of his company. MT. Ffske ar rived last night to attend a meeting of the managers and agents of the company in Alabama, and he and the members O. his party are registered at the Tut wiler.
 A business session will be held by the agents and officials of the company to- day, and dinner will be rendered to- night at 6:30 o'clock at the Tutwiler. MT. Fiske will make the principal ad dress at this meeting and a number of the other officials will make talks. About 200 agents and managers for the com pany in Alabama will be present
 In addition to MT. Fiske, other officials of the company here are F. O. Ayres and E. K. Frankel, both of whom are vice presidents; Dr. A. s. Knight, medi- cal director; William H. Stewart, super intendent of agents; E. c. Remington. supervisor and others.
 T have been highly gratified at the situation I have found in the south' said MT. Fiske. "We hold these meet iEgs every three years and I have just visited Richmond, Raleigh, Jacksonville, Atlanta and New Orleans. Business con dit1ons in the south as in the rest of the country are showing a wonderful im- provement. The people are making more money in this country than at any time in our history. There is every indication pointing to a continuance and we are most optimistic over the outlook.
 While I have only just reached Bir- mingham and have not had time to make any investigations here, I have heard very fine reports regarding the business conditions in this district The business done by our company is usually a good barometer, and we have shown a splen- did increase in Birmingham and Alabama recently. Our company has more insur- ance in force than any other in America, the total being more than $3,200, GOO, ,OOO. Our men are adding 10000 policies each week, which gives some idea of the vol ume of our business.
 ''I have heard much of Birmingham and this district recently and I was ex- pecting to see signs of great improve ments and developments, but I find that my expectations were not up to the con- ditions as they really exist. Birming- ham has as metropolitan appearance as any city in the country of twice its size"
