ADULTS LEARN
TO READ AND
WRITE EASILY
Experience Of Moonlight School
Teachers Shows Adults Learn
Easily Under Their Plan.

The most dense learn to read and
write in a six weeks term Of moon
light school. The everage student Of
from Is to so years CT age learns to
write lette rim one to three weeks
and to read many pages in his first
book by the third or fourth week. Stu
dents from go to so years Of age usu-
ally require three to four weeks to
learn to write letter because Of stiff
fened fingers and, also, require long
er to learn to read because Of dim eye
sight. Not one of any age who has
attempted It has failed to learn unless
1t was some feeble minded person, and
even some Of them have made progress
One Of the most remarkable in
stances in the history of Kentucky's
moonlight schools was that of Fred
Lonzo White, man aged 3S, who was
able after three evenings to write
short letter. His letter is on exhibit
ton. Another was the case or young
man drafted for the army in Powell
county. A teacher was sent by the
Kentucky Illiteracy Commission to
meet the men in Stanton and to give
them few lessons before they en-
trained. This young man being
bridegroom was anxious to write
back to his bride, so he put in most
of the day and until 10 o'clock that
night and then wrote his bride a legi-
BILE note Of five lines beginning, Dear
Darling" telling her where and how
he was and where he was going. Sen
ator Meriwether Smith, of Harrods-
burg, tells of a young man who con-
fided to him that he was going home
without registering, being ashamed to
confess to the Board that he could not
sign his name. The Senator took him
in his office and in thirty minutes
taught him to write his name and he
then registered. Senator B. c. Lewis
of Barbourville, is the author of a
good story. He says that a man was
running for school trustee in Knox
county. His opponent charged that
he was not eligible in that he could
not sign his name. Some of the ac-
cused mans friends took him out be-
hind the school house and practiced
him on writing his name for twenty
five minutes secretly and then pro-
duced him with a flourish, stating that
false and malicious charge had been
made and that he was now ready to
sign his name, which he did.
A middle aged colored woman, with
little assistance from her mistress,
learned to read twenty-five lessons In
her first book in one months time.
Thousands of instances could be cited
where eager students have accom-
plished almost miraculous results.

form-how the two wounded lovers
are placed under the care of their
sweet mistress, now a war nurse, and
how she solves the most difficult pro-
blem that woman can be called on
to face, are all set forth in this great
drama of the screen.
If you come to my theater on to-
day, when "Ronnie Annie Laurie" will

promise that you will see one of the
sweetest, cleanest tales of love and
patriotism that have ever been writ

staring failure in the face, finally
achieves brilliant success. While the
photoplay is essentially comedy, 1t
has an interesting lore story, and all

come weak and have been irregular In
action. My back has ached, too, and
has been very weak and lame across

Kidney Pills for this trouble, they
have never failed to relieve the COM

A shortage Of labor is contributing
TO the seriousness of the housing stu.

yesterdays session of the Joint legls.

housing conditions. Abram |. Elkus
chairman of the State Reconstruction
Commi ssion, and Frank Mann, Tene-
ment House Commissioner, were pres
ent.
Ihe witnesses agreed that the diff
Guilty of obtaining loans no longer
stands in the way Of the RESUMPTION of
pre-War building operations Albert
Schwartzler, Of Schwartzler Brothers
pioneer Bronx builders, declared the
LABOR shortage was greater deterrent
to building than the high cost of ma
tcrials.
The labor proposition is our big
drawback he said. The unions can
not control the men, due to the labor
shortage. The men demand more than
the UNION scale and the unions can't
help you''
Harris Maran, a builder of eighteen
ars'>experience, testified the cost Of
materials and the cost of labor have
ciamped tight lid on his building
operations. He said he is afraid to risk
ms own and other peoples money in
bulidlng investments under present
conditions. The testimony of seven
teen other builders was in substance
the same. They said the campaign of
the last two months to yet moro build
lng loans has been fruitful. but that
other obstacles are now in theiv way.
Although they testified that the prices
of building materials is strangely uni
form, they were unable TO produce
proof that combination is in control.
At the close of the session Mr.. Elkus
DECLARED an inquiry into the high cost
Of building materials should be started
ibmediately. Mr.. Elkus said that the
building going on at present does not
interest the average workingman, as
the rents will average about SIS a
room. The rest of New York State is
also facing q growing housing crisis,
Mr., Elkus said. partly because business
men are trying to attract industry %
their towns without providing shelter
for the wokesr.
