TIME TABLES TO GO
 AS WAR ECONOMY

London, April 6.--(Special )-One war time economy that the travelling public in England may welcome is a reduction in the output of railroad time tables. These little booklets here are to a large percentage of the people just as myste- rious as they are the world over, and there Is the added inconvenience of hav- ing to buy them as one does a newspa- per. They are not handed out for the asking, as in the United States.
 In deciding to reduce the issue of time tables the railroad had in view the cur tailment of the consumption of paper. in accordance with the governments restric- tions on the use of paper in every con- ceivable instance. At first it was sug- gested that time tables be suspended en- tirely during the war, but this was voted down. The compromise suggested Is to have only one general public time table put out by each railroad company and that the price be raised from 2 cents, as at present, to 6 cents.
 The question of discontinuing the whole of the posting on billboards at station platforms and along the lines is also un- der consideration.

'BANKHEA ROADS ! BILL IN L|MEL|GHT;;
 PASSAGE IN SIGHT Senator Now Believes Col leagues Will Pass It Within the Next
 Ten Days

Washington, April 29.-(Special.) )-Sena- tor Bankhead is making a determined eff fort-in the end to be successful-to se- cure the passage in the Senate of the good roads bill, that which provides for government aid to the extent of $75,000,- 900 in five years in the construction of model highways
 Sometime ago. as is remembered, the steering committee of the Senate gave Senator Bankhead three days in which to bring his bill to a vote. On account of the desire of every member to dis cuss the merits of the bill, the sugges- tion of innumerable amendments and a mild filibuster, the three days elapsed before the vote could be ordered. The way was then cleared for the considera- tion of the report of the conference com mittee on free sugar. and the Hollis rural credits bill.
 When the good roads bill was displaced fear was expressed that it would never see the light again before next fall. But the senator on the first lull called up the bill. It was considered an hour. The following day he did likewise, with sim liar success. And it happens that the road bill is again in the limelight and is submitted each day to short consider stion. In the end the vote will be called. The senate will give the bill thirds majority, it is indicated.
 Senator BanlShead said tonight that he thought it probable that the bill would be passed within 10 days It will then go to conference. The House some weeks ago passed the Shackelford good roads bill, and as substitute for that bill, the Bankhead measure was offered in the Senate

EXPORT
 RECORD FOR FEBRUARY

American exports for February reached a total of $409, ,S36,525 ac- cording to an announcement made today by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, of the Depart ment of Commerce. This is the high est point ever reached by the export trade in this country and exceeds the high mark for December, 1915, by $50,000,000 It exceeds the total for January by $s3,O0O,OOO. The decline in January had been taken in some quarters to mean that the record fig ures for December had marked the high tide in the flow of American ex- ports. The total exports for the first eight months of the fiscal year 1916 are $2,5s6,3 ,570 and it now seems probable that the exports for the whole fiscal year will reach $4 .O0O,- 900 ,000.
 February imports also set new high record, being valued at $193,- Soo,lIl [, WHICH lS dbOul PIu,VVV5uuO more than in January, and much above the total for any earlier Feb ruary. Over two-thirds of the months imports entered free of duty.
 The excess of exports over imports amounted to $215,901 .408 in February and to $1 .295 PIT ,462 during the eight months ending with February. Last year February showed an excess of $174,6S2, ATS and eight months period an excess of $57S, S,S34 ,390, or less than one-half that of the current period.
 The international gold movements for February included imports valued at S6,016,006, against $12,726,942 for February, 1915; and for the eight months, $32S,054,3 1892 in 1916, against SAG, ,267 ,209 in 1915. Gold exports in February totaled $13,684,667, against $1 ,053, ,S79 in February, 1915; and in eight months, S47,741,5 ,575, compared with $40, 3S7 ,009 in like period of 1915. The current fsca! year to the end of February showed a new in- ward gold movement of $2S0,312,S17, while corresponding period last year showed a new outward gold move ment of $94,119,S00.

favorably upon all the schools by set ting a new and higher standard to which the level of work in each school must be raised.
 The report lays emphasis upon the development of 'fiefd work" in con- nection with the professional train ing of social workers. Miss Abbott declares:
 "The most characteristic feature of the school curriculum, the feature that has most sharply differentiated the work of the school of philan- thropy from that of the department of sociology in the university, has been the organization of field work. and upon this growing emphasis has been laid. Field work in this sense has come to mean a system of social apprenticeship. From the first, the professional schools have real ized that social work could not be undertaken without actual practice work in the office of a good social agency; that students could learn how to do only by doing under expert SUD- ervisiol"
