Berlin Claims That Russians Sustained Check and That Not One Man of Those Who Cross ed River Survived.

London, July 12.-Although the eX- tent of ground which has been gainc by the British offensive is not great there is general satisfaction in Eng, land at the success attained by the army of Gen Haig during the F days of fighting, and the belief exists that the adjusted positions now occu- pied will make possible greater achievements.
 The capture of Contalmaison, Ma mejz and Trones woods gives the British a line running almost due east and west, so that the Germans to the north can be attacked on the flanl, when the guns are brought up for the second phase of the operations.
 To the south of the river the French are in position somewhat similar to the British, and likewise can attack the German flank south of Belloy and Estrees. For the moment, however, the two armies are engaged in pre-

the building of handsome modern

of illiteracy.
! At the Anderson convention of the
South Carolina Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs. held in May of this
year, the slogan. mo Illiteracy in
South Carolina in 1920" was enthu-
siastically adopted. The menace of
illietracy had been made the theme
of the convention. The club women
of the State were very much in earn
est
When it is considered that there
are more than $4,000 white adult
illiterates in South Carolina. one is
prone to the opinion that the club
women. as much in earnest as they
we're. took upon themselves pret-
ty big contract. if. indeed, they did
not map out for themselves an i'm
possible task. Yet, with Kentucky's 8
splendid example before us, and
knowing that what has been done
can be done. it was not altogether
idyllic on the part of the club wo-
men of South Carolina.
few years ago Kentucky adopted
the slogan, "No Illiteracy in Ken
tucky in 1920" and establishes
moonlight schools. In two years
10000 illiterates were taught to
read and write.
Nineteen and twenty is three years
off, and what was accomplished in
Kentucky in two years can be ac-
complished in South Carolina in

cannot, however, make good their
slogan alone, without help, without
cooperation on the part of the State
government and all those agencies
whose aid and cooperation would
render the accomplishment OF mo

NOvHLITERACY in 1920"

When the federal census was taken
in 1910 only two States in the Union
were reported to have more than 25
per cent illiterates. One OF these
States was South Carolina
During the past six vears-since

greater percentage of illiteracy
If another federal census were ta-
ken tomorrow, South Carolina would
be shown to have made very little
progress along this line since 1910,
although undoubtedly some progress
has been made, but not enough to
affect South Carolina's relative posi-
tion among the States in the matter

Tor is there provision made for them
other than through private sources.
For these night schools in mill
towns and villages Miss Julia Selden,
or Spartanburg, graduate of Con-
verse College, who has been WORKING
for several years to provide the op-
portunity for our illiterates to bet
ter their condition and to awaken In
them the desire to do so, is largely
responsible. Her pioneer work in
Spartanburg county has furnished
inspiration to earnest men and wo-
men in other counties where there
are large mill populations, and so to
her is credit due
But what has been done and what
lis being done is not nearly sufficient.
If you will go among your friends
and acquaintance and make the
statement that there are in our own
State Of South Carolina $4,000 grown
white men and women who cannot
read and write their own names.
your friends and acquaintances will
more than likely throw up their
hands IN holy horror. Perhaps they
some OF them, will ask you where
they are. these $4,000 white adult
illiterates.
They are not all in the cotton
m, tnp Nhn ;.s..
particularly in need of night schools
or moonlight schools, as they are
called in Kentucky, and the litter
ates in the rural districts of South
Carolina present the greatest prob
lem for the reason that in the mill
towns the illiterates are easier to
reach, easier to get interested; ana,
too. in many cases, the mill man
agements provide the ways and
means for night schools. In the
sparsely settled sections it is differ
ent, and more difficult both to in
terest the people and to provide the
means.
However. scattered here and there
throughout the State there are bea-
con lights burning. One of the
brightest OF these is Miss Mary Eva
Hite's night school in the Bethea
community of Aiken county. Here,
in addition to teaching "A regular day
school, Miss Hite and her assistant
taught a night school pupil who had
long ago celebrated his 60th birth
day. He was one of the thirty-one
night school pupils last year. some
of whom lived several miles from the
school house, and this old man won
the prize for attendance for the ses.
sion. He VIII be enrolled again this
year.

MAKING MOTOR TRUCKS PAY
Must Be Recognized as of the Highest Importance.

The average owner of a motor truck fails to get the full value of his in vestment on account of the haphazard manner in which he uses 1t. With modern equipment modern methods should be adopted, and the principle recognized that standing equipment Is a dead investment. The loading and routing cf the truck should be carefrily studied to keep 1t moving as constantly as possible, but as a rule two-thirds of the working day is wasted in loading and unloading, as a result of lack of foresight and sys- tenn.
 Loads should be assembled and properly placed beforehand to insure quick handling, and ample space kept free for equally rapid discharge; and n this connection the extended use of detachable bodies, enabling entire loads to be handled by a single opera ton, and the truck started off again without delay, is worthy of more gen. eral consideration.

VALUABLE TIRE TIPS
THEIR OBSERVANCE WILL SAVE
 MONEY FOR OWNER.
Neglect Is Responsible for Many Deplorabie Accidents.

Always turn corners very slowly.
 Don't keep spares out of use too long.
 Keep tires inflated to full recon mended pressure at all times. regard less of hot or cold weather.
 To prevent inner tube being pinched because bead Is not in place securely. apply stove polish or graphite to rim.
 Start and stop slowly and never slide the wheels. Brakes are more effective when the wheels do not drag.
 In turning around never let the front or back wheels touch the curblng. There is no surer way of running cas- ings.
 When tires have been removed 1t is a good plan, when replacing them, to place the worn or outer sides toward the car.
 Fill all cuts promptly with the best cement and tire-cut filler, but, better still, have the tire vulcanIzed, making the repair permanent.
 Use the very best inner tubes obtain able. If the imitation pressure Is lost, even to small extent, the casing will be rapidly destroyed.
 A new case should be further inflat- ed every few hundred miles to offset the lost pressure due to the stretch of the casing when first used.
 Never run against curb when stop ping. This breaks the side walls of the tires and bends and breaks the rims and rim Jugs or bolts. Small cuts, when noted, should be properly and promptly cleaned and re- paired, all grit and sand being first removed before repairs are attempted.
 If you notice one of the front tires beginning to wear down exceedingly fast, 1t is well to have the wheels measured up for proper alignment i'm mediately.
 Some customers neglect dusting sOapstone Inside the case when chang ing q tube-Others use the soapstone so sparingly that 1t does but little, if any, good.
 If the two front wheels do not run exactly parallel, one of them Is always subject to q drag or a diagonal grind which soon wears down the tread ex- cessively.
 Car-track riding shortens the life of the tires because of the constant chaf- ing that takes place between the upper part of the rail and the tire. It should be avoided at all times. Sand blisters follow small cuts if re- pairs are not promptly made when in- spection detects small tread cuts. Sand is made of glInting, sharp, stonelike particles which. when they enter the l tread, cut and hack their way and de- stroy the tire.

PeriIs in Weak Auto Accessories.

American manufacturers excel in developing special appliances and methods of manufacturing, but unfor. tunately all have not the reputation ot producing goods that are reliable. The aut0mobile-accessOry business has grown tremendously during the past ten years, and Is now an important in- dustry in itself, aside from the manu. facture of motor cars.
 In the race to produce accessories cheaply and insure large profit, says Machinery, the strength of some of the tools furnished has been reduced to the danger point, the result being some deplorable accidents. For example, an automobilist recently was crushed be heath his car, which he had jacked up in order to repair it on the road. The jack broke while he was under the car and the weight of the car fractured several ribs and caused serious in- ternal injuries.
