SPANISH SHIPS
 RETURN TROOPS

MADRID, April 11-R)-According to an announcement made by the government this evening, vessels un. der Spanish registry will shortly be. gin to bring cereals from the United States to Spain. Spain will be giv. en the privilege of importing Am. erican cereals under the condition that Spanish ships will stop at Bor. deaux and take on loads of Ameri. can soldiers and war materials for the United States.
 The plan will be of much benefit to both countries and is viewed with satisfaction here. Spain is badly in neeed of cereals and can only pro. cure them from the United States. Under the agreement the transporta. tion of American troops back home will be greatly speeded up and the soldiers get home quicker than has heretofore been considered possible

PIG TROUGH METHOD USED
TO CURE FLAT FEET

Take that old pig trough in your
back yard, turn it SO that the open
part is to the ground, grease its slant
ing sides, and then try to walk on it
without falling for the length of twen-
~ feet
This is "A device that one Of the col
leges has instituted for the disabled
men with flat feet who are in training
there under the Federal Board for No-
cational Education.
The sides of the trough aren't easy
to walk on even if they are polished
in this case instead of being CREASED.
To walk on il requires the turning in
of the feet, and this constantly raises
the arch. and helps the defect in the
instep. II is "A great scheme which
has been inaugurated for the men.
Some OF these colleges and schools
are determined to make these boys,
who are handicapped with wounds or
disabled by their war service, leave
their halls better trained vocationa!ly
and physically.

WHY CLOSE THE SCHOOLS?

Closing schools as Il means of con
trolling epidemics Of measles, whoop-
ing cough, scarlet fever, diphthcria,
smallpox, and poliomyoIltls should be
considered as last resort, to he used
only when thorough and systematic
application of other measures fail to
effect control. As "A method it Is un-
scientific, clumsy, and unsatisfactory
for il fails to control and results in
the loss of school time and money.
The modern method of careful daily
ins nspection of infected schools, iSola-
ton os sick children, and quarantine
of contacts. is both more effective and
economical.
Such is the summary of report made
by committee of the Bureau of Ed
ucation cooperating with similar
committee of the American Public
Health Association.
There has been a progressive aban-
donment of faith in. and practice of.
closing schools as n means of controll-
ing epidemics affecting school children
Such exceptions as occur relate to the
following special conditions; made
duate medical supervision of schools ;
severity of epidemicS that delies al
efforts at control and epidcmics in
which the etiology of the disease Is
unknown, such as infantIle paralysis,
epidemic meningitis, and possibly II
few others.

PRESIDENT WILSON HAS THE
PEOPLE GUESSING ON TREATY

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 10.-Who
is responsible for the present delay
in bringing about ratification of the
peace treaty?
The truth may come as a shock TO
the many friends Of the league of na.
tons and peace treaty who had be.
lieved President Wilson was ready to
accept series Of reservations and in.
terpretations that would not impair
the league or the efficiency of the peaco
treaty, but it is fact that Mr.. Wilson
not only will not take the initiative in
making compromise and he has re-
fused to permit Senator Hitchcock to
engage in negotiations with Republi-
can senators looking toward that end.
The Nebraska senator is, of course,
free to enter into such compromise
with opposition senators but what
would be the eventual attitude Of the
president toward the compromise Is
absolutely unknown even to Mr.. Hitch
cock. There is much perplexity over
the position which has been adopted
by the president and criticism of his
course being expressed by friends as
well as foes.
Because after all, it is true that the
tactics of the senate leaders and the
record of what transpired in debate
at the closing hours of the session es,
tablished clearly the uncompromisine
position of the treaty opponents. The
willingness of the president to accept
compromise Is now on record. Most
people have taken it for granted that
| Mr.. Wilson would accept a compro-
mise eventually and that he was stick
ing to his guns very much as a man
in u commercial bargain who wants
to hold out until the last minute,
But so far as the republicans are con
cerned the hour for compromise has
arrived. They have passed a resolu-
ton providing far an unqualified
adoption of the peace treaty In anoth-
er form made to their order. 1t Is re.
ported that twenty republican senator's
stand ready to agree to reservations
which 40 democrats may accept, thus
making 65 senators in favor of rat
iiication of the peace treaty, which is
one more than necessary,

SHELTER WILL BE LOCATED
HERE 1T is THOUGHT

The locating of smelter in Tucum-
carl is one of the leading topics of the
day. The company has not chosen be-
tween Tucumcari and Carrizozo, but
with the advantages of Tucumcari be-
ing located at the terminal of the Daw
son railroad, with plenty of good wa
ter close to the coke fields, etc, this
city will likely be chosen if the citizens
who can afford to will take hold and
help the Chamber of Commerce make
it worth while.
Mr.. Phipps had intended to give the
News an extended article in regard to
the smelter, but it was necessary for
him to go TO Ancho on business mat
ters and he failed to arrive home in
time to write the article and get it in
for publication.
