RURAL SCHOOLS
Are Interdependent with Development of
Nation for Modern Civilization.

Portland, Ore, July l2.-American rur.
al schools and the development of the
nation for modern civilization, are inter
dependent, asserted Mrs. Mary G. c.
Bradford, superintendent of public in
struction for the state of Colorado, in an
address before the school patrons section
of the National Education association
here yesterday.
Pointing out that more than half the
children of the country receive their in
struction in the rural schools, the Colo
RADIO educator declared it was easy to
see the Importance of giving the major
ity of the school population of our coun-
try such advantages as will enable them
to transmit the best traditions of Amer
lean life and thought to future genera
tions."
Mrs. Bradford urged the county unit of
school administration, or at least great
numbers of consolidated" schools, the
utilization of school plants for commu-
nifty development, and standardization
of school work.
"Ample educational facilities for all
country children must be afforded by
any school system claiming to do eff
cient work." she said. "The country
child is entitled to instruction from pro-
fessionally trained teachers and to the
use of schoolhouses and Fairgrounds ar
ranged in such a way as to conserve
health and comfort and develop appre-
citation of beauty and the use of power.
"The community is entitled TO the
possession and use of such buildings for
all purposes tending to enrich the COM
life and to tighten the bond of 1
unity.
The rural school teacher is entitled 1
10 salary commensurate with the cost

lctivity and community leadership. The
eacher also is entitled TO home en-
sironment of comfort added TO. at least,

These things are TO be obtained. Mrs.
Bradford said, by campaigns Of education

SECESSION TALK
HEARDIN QUEBEC
Religious Press Urges the
Separation of the
Province
CONSUMPTION
BILL THE CAUSE
Talk of New Republic Levy
ing Tax on st. Law
renee Trade

Montreal, July l2.-The secession Of
Quebec from the Dominion of Canada is
urged by French Roman Catholic papers
in that province which is strongly dis
affected over CONSUMPTION. The clergy
also are taking an transformations but in.
fuential part in what appears to accord
with popular sentiment
Two church organs that openly espouse
secession are La Croix and Ideal Cath
clique, both considered semi official in
struments of the archdiocese of Mont
real.
Archbishop Bruchesi ordinarily does
not interfere with secular utterances on
the part of the church press. But to-
day loyal Canadians are expressing the
opinion that his grace could very proper
ly take action in this vital matter
Ideal Catholique in advocating seces-
sion editorially suggests new French
renee. The proposed government, it says,
would be in position of advantage over
the remainder of the dominion, as it
could impose taxes on all goods passing
from Ontario down the st. Lawrence, re-
ferred to as "our river" The editorial
says:
Free in our actions, fearing no more
the Anglo-Saxon rancer, we could easily,
under the regime of lower Canada, make
the majority in Ontario listen to reason.
1T has been well said that the Prov
ince of Quebec and the maritime prov
inces have all the natural riches desir
able. We have nothing to envy the
other parts of Canada. The new terri |
tory of Ungava, which we have annexed |
of late years, offers us another inexhaus- |
tible resource. Two hundred million in |
habitants could easily live in lower Can
ada"
The plea that voluntary enlistment
will meet all the need of the military
hardly applies to the Province
Of Quebec. OF the total French Canadian
of $4,000 only 1000 came
from that province. The population of
Quebec is l,605,339 French Canadians and
|l3,l03 English Canadians. Enlistments
ire few and assertions many. One
french Canadian battalion had to be dis
landed because it's quota could not be
lied

MOTOR FEES VARY WIDELY.
States Lack Uniform Basis for Registra-
ton and License Charges.

1t cost motor vehicle owners in the
United States in 1916 an average of S7.36
per car for registration and license fees,
according to figures compiled by the Of
fee OF public roads, United States de-
partment of agriculture, in circular 70,
just issued, Automobile Registrations,
Licenses and Revenues in the United
States, 1916" New Hampshire secured
in 1916 a gross revenue OF slg.67 and
Vermont $l9.02 for every motor car,
while Minnesota, where the registration
is for three year period, received only
about so cents annually for each car. In
South Carolina and Texas no annual reg
istration fees were required.
No well developed and definite basis
exists for determining in log;ca, man
ner the fees to which different cars shall
be subject. In some states the fee is
based on the net weight of the vehicle;
in others, the carrying capacity, the horse
power or some combination OF these fac
tors is used. Requirements cor regis
tration or licensing Of chaufcurs, owne,
operators and dealers vary widely. In
most states motor cars are taxed also as
personal property. In Idaho, iowa. Mich !.
igan, New York, Oklahoma, rennsylva-
MIA and Vermont the registration fees
are in lieu of all other taxes
The tendency recently is 10 increase
the registration fees required for motor
trucks, usually in proportion to weight, !
IN view of the deteriorating effects Of
heavy truck traffic on roads.

CHICAGO SOUTH SIDE
SHAKEN BY BOMBS
One Man Killed, Score of Buildings Dam
aged By Explosions in Widely
Separated Sections.

Chicago, July l2.-Three bomb explo-
sions in widely separated sections of the
south side early yesterday caused the
death of one man and the fatal injury
of another, damaged score of buildings
and drove dozens of families into the
street. Two of the explosions are laid
at the door of the "black hand" the other
to labor trouble, according to the police.
The bombs were exploded in buildings
with stores on the first floor and apart
ments above.
Silvia O'Connor and his brother, James,

59th street when the explosion occurred.
Silvia was killed instantly and James

How to Run a Summer Carnival.

The July Womsn's Home Companion
says:
"A successful carnival for the benefit
of church in our city has recently been
held by a group of members and friends
who live on one square. The porches
and lawns on both sides of the street
were gayly decorated with japanese Lam
terms and colored lights.
Each porch or parlor was given up
to a different attraction. In one home
there was dancing at five cents couple
for each dance. On another porch you
could, for a small charge. indulge your
musical taste by listening to good rec
ords. Salad, sandwiches and coffee, ice
cream and cake, candy, faneywork,
kitchen helps. and a grab bag for the
children were other features.
A sightseeing automobile coined mon
sy at FIVE cents ride for a short trip
around few blocks. and was especially
popular with the young people"

ITALY'S CROPS EXCELLENT.
Wheat, Potatoes, Vines and Olives Show
Excellent Prospects.

Rome, July l2.-Crop prospects in
Italy are promising. Wheat everywhere
is up to the average and in the south it
is unusually good Potatoes, which have
been planted in increased quantities also
are good. Vines and olive trees have
not been affected by any disease and
barring injury from bad weather there
should be an excellent vintage and an
abundant crop of olives. Rice fields also
are satisfactory. On the whole the sit
ustion, notwithstanding exceptional con-
ditions incident to the war, is encourag-
ing.

REDUCE DAILY MEAT RATION.
Hoover Wants Everybody to Eat One
Ounce Less and Save for the Allies.

Washington, July Ito conserve the
nations meat supply, each person in the
United States is asked by the food ad-
ministration to cut down by at least one
ounce the amount of meat eaten each
day. Recent studies, it is stated, show
that the average daily per capita con-
sumption is nearly one third of pound
of beef and one-ifth of pound of pork.
The adoption of this suggestion, it is
believed, will relieve the demands of the
armies at home and abroad and also
leave larger supply for the allies.

EAT CEREALS TO
REDUCE FOOD COSTS
Plan Is Called the Most Practical Means
of Reducing Table Ex-
penses.

The most practical means OF reducing
table expenses without decreasing the
wholesomeness and adequacy of the diet
lies in increased use of cereal foods, es-
pecially belled grains, mushes and breads
made OF corn meal and cereals other
than wheat.
Cereals contain most of the important
food elements which the body needs and
yet are comparatively inexpensive. They
are primarily a source OF starch, needed
by the body to yield energy. They fur
nish also considerable quantities of pro-
tein, one of the most important and
usually one of the most expensive food
elements, needed to build the body and
keep it in repair. In addition, cereals
furnish mineral matter, fats, fibre and,
if part of the bran is left in,
little known substances which regulate
body activities.
Cereals, therefore, may be used as the
relatively inexpensive basis for meals.
In them it becomes necessary only TO eat
with them comparatively small quaint
ties of higher priced foods to make up
4 proper balance among the needed ele-
m ants

Uses for Lemons.
Lemon juice diluted makes an excel.
lent mouth wash.

A lemon poultice will cure felon.
Cut lemon at one end, scoop out little
of the pulp and thrust the painful finger
into the lemon.
The juice Of one half lemon in one half
glass water taken before breakfast will
correct torpid liver and prevent bilious
ness.
Lemon juice will whiten the skin and
will remove stains from the hands.
Lemon juice will allay the irritation
caused by insect bites.
Lemon juice and salt will remove rust,
ink and fruit stains from white goods.
Making Currant Jelly.
Pick over currants and remove all |
stems and leaves and then place them in |
an enamel-li lined preserving kettle with !
a few of the bottom berries crushed to |
prevent burning. When hot, crush ber-
ries and strain through a double layer
Of cheesecloth. Do not press the Juice
from the crushed berries, but take hold |
II the opposite corners and roll the mass
pack and forth in the cloth. A more
transparent jelly will be obtained if the /
uice is strained through flannel bag.
After measuring the juice put it into
he clean preserving kettle, bring it to a
,entle boil and skim. Then add little
ess than pint of sugar for each pint
# juice and bring to boil again. Sugar
hould be heated before placing in fruit
uice.) The time required for boiling ;
fter the addition of the sugar should be
bout four minutes. Skim and pour into
terrified jars taken directly from hot |
later.
The glasses of hot Jelly should be
laced on board and the board set in
cool sunny window where there is no

Cereals interchangeable.

When animal foods or other nitroge-
nous foods, fruits and vegetables also are
used in the diet, the various grains may
be interchanged freely as availability,
cost, or preference dictates. The starch
of all the cereals is practically the same.
Protein, fat, and mineral matter vary
somewhat in the different kinds. but so
slightly that the difference need not be
considered in the ordinary mixed diet.
In such a diet, therefore, corn or oat-
meal, for example, may be satisfactorily
substituted for wheat when the latter is
scarce, without detracting from the
OF the meals.

Forms of Cereal Foods.


The most common form in which cerea
| food is consumed is bread. The food
value of bread. however, comes from the
cereal of which it is made, and it makes
| little difference whether we get our cereal
ration in baked or boiled form. If ce.
reals are to be made a more important
feature of the diet, mushes and boiled
grains, as well as baked doughs, should
be eaten in greater quantity Practi-
eally any of the cereals may be used in
making some type of bread. Wheat has
been most used because its gluten makes
possible the raising of the dough with
yeast, Flours and meals of the other
grains, however, may be made into bak-
ing powder breads and many of them can
be substituted for some of the wheat
-four in making yeast breads.
Breakfast foods should be chosen care.
fully if economy is desired, since the
form in which the food is purchased
largely determines the cost. Meals from
which mushes may be made may be OBJ
tanned for a few cents a pound, while
specially prepared grains may cost up
to As cents or even more per pound Bulk
breakfast cereals, such as oatmeal, COM
monty may be purchased at lower prices
than the same kinds put up in cartons.
One way to lessen the cost of break
fast foods is to buy whole grains from
a feed store and grind them coarsely
in a coffee or other hand mill. The
cracked grains, when sailed properly,
boiled thoroughly, and served with but
ter or sugar and cream or milk, make
wholesome and palatable foods. These
home ground grains, used alone or with
-four, also may be used satisfactorily
in bread making. Boiled grains, such
as rice, barley, corn meal or hominy,
may be used in the same way, or any of
these may be combined into dishes with
cheese, eggs or meat, which add both
flavor and heterogeneous food elements.
