one of the Daily News staff of foreign
correspondents:
Almost all Russian villages that
have sufficient number of children
possess one or more schools. During

sorry attendance ut village schools for
all children. Tifty-one per cent Of

eleven years attend the schools. For
the last ten years the number of per-
sons who know how to read and write
Increased by per cent. The war has

ton in newspapers and schools.

FEARS HE WILL BE CRAZY
Georgia Man Wants to Find Some
Way to Stop Counting Razor
Strokes.

Moultrie, Ga.-Edgar r. Bruton Of
this city says that he is afraid he is
going crazy if he doesn't find some way
to stop counting strokes of his razor
when he shaves.
If he cannot devise some way to
break the habit, he declares, actual
madness stares him in the face.
Several months ago he decided that
he would see how many strokes it took
to shave. He counted, shaving in his
usual way, and found that he used too
many. Then he set about systenati.
cally to reduce the number. Counting
each time he shaved and eliminating
the useless strokes he managed at the
end of few months to cut the daily
operation down. But now he has found
that he can't keep from counting.
