Bill introduced In Senate and
House In Their Behalf---Th
Church Organization Will
Also Give Practical Aid.
WILL PROMOTE EDUCATION
The Significant Movement of the
Times Is That of the Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South---Will SpenS Mil
lions Among the Uneducated.

The fact that several thousand sol
diers were unable to understand the
orders given them from their superiors
and that many, many thousands could
not sign their own names to their
questionnaires brought to light con-
dition so serious that two Southern
Representatives at Washington are
now introducing bills to promote the
education of illiterates throughout the
length and breadth of America. Sena.
tor Hoke Smith, Of Georgia, has intro
duced bill in the Senate Ito promote
the education of illiterates, of persons
unable to understand and use the Eng.
lish language, and other resident per.
sons of foreign BIRTH" and the same
measure has been introduced in the
House by Hon. William B. Bankhead.
of Alabama
The introduction of this important
bill means a great deal to the South,
which, because of it's negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne q
reputation for illiteracy out of proper
ton to that of the rest of the coun-
try. Just what steps will be immeui-
ately taken as the result of the passage
Of the education of illiterates bill at
Washington cannot be stated at this
time, but, certainly, practical meas
ures will be put into operation for the
establishment of schools in both rural
districts and cities.
Other organizations besides that of
the government are at work on the
same problem-the establishment of
schools in the heart of tenement dis.
tricts and rural communities being q
matter of first Importance with all OF
them. One Of the most significant
movements of the times in this con.
nection is that of the Centenary of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, because that denomination will
expend within the next five years over
100000 among the uneducated
classes in the Southern and Western
States. The church is to raise fund
of S35 100000 in an eight-day drive in
April, the financial campaign being
part of the Centenary Celebration OF
the denomination. The money is be-
ing raised with a view to putting the
work of the church ON business
basis, the church considering its duty
to the illiterates here in America to be
among the matters of first importance
which 1t should undertake. A survey
has been made and the result of the
campaign will be the apportionment of
$4,000, 900 among the various illiterate
population as follows: Mountain pop
ulation, $750,00o; Immigrant, 100000;
negroes, $500, 900; Indians, $3.50 900;
cotton mill population, s1b0.000; Chris
tian literature for all of them, 100000.
With the definite step undertaken
at Washington, with one denomination
already completing its plans for fur.
thering the work among them, and
with other churches and organizations
getting ready to join hands in their
behalf, it is more than possible that
the illiterates of the South are In
fair way to soon become educated citt
gems of the United States.

A Never Failing Way
to Danish Ugly Hairs
(Aids to Beauty

No woman is immune to superflu-
Gus growths, and because these are
likely to appear at any time, II is
advisable to always have some della
tore powder handy to use when the
occasion arises. A paste is made
with some of the powder and water
and spread upon the hairy surface;
in about minutes this is carefully
removed and the skin washed. You
will then find that your skin is en-
tirely free from hair or fuzs. Be
sure, however to get real delatone.

Self-Sealing Property
Claimed for Bonner Tubes

Bonner tubes have the property of
sealing themselves after puncture so
that no air is lost. Ernest D. Story,
president of the Story Rubber Corpora
ton, which manufactures and distrib-
utes the tubes, says that even he has
been astonished by the rapidity with
which sales have mounted
The selfsealng quality is result
of the way the tubes are made. En-
bodied in the tread side of Bonner
tubes is a strip of non stretchable fab
ric upon which the rubber of the tread
is built more than twice as thick as
usual When the tube is inflated the
fabric prevents the tread from expand
ing and the extra thick rubber is great
ly compressed. 1t is the compre ssion
acting on the principle of valve which
seals the tube automatically if a pune
ture occurs.
Announcement is made by the Story
Rubber Corporation that Harry G
Shaw, for many years with the Hendee
Manufacturing Company, has become
treasurer. He extends an invitation to
acquaintances to visit him at the Office
of the corporation, Sixty Stree,
and Broadway.

Brake Lever Guard
Attached to Cole Cars

The grease in the universal joint
when heated in the course of cars
operation, has tendency to run out
This can hardly be overcome either by
the design of the universal or the kind
of lubricant used. The centrifugal ac-
ton of the universal has tendency to
whirl the grease up against the floor
boards and should there be any aper-
lures in them, the grease gets an op-
portunity to find its way into the body
of the car and to the clothing of the
passengers.
In many automobiles the grease is
thrown through the slot through, ,.whic h

this, the Cole Motor Car Company has

Barren SalesroOms
About One-Third Usual Number
of Cars Now on Display

c. H. Larson, the Oldsmobile Com
panys president, calls attention to the
fact that by actual count the cars on
exhibition along Automobile Row are
less than one-third the number that
has hitherto been regarded as normal
for the season.
To-day the manufacturer of every
reputable machine is finding it no easy
matter to keep production near re
quirements," says Mr.. Larson. 1T is
not with an unduly optimistic spirit,
either, that | state it as my belief that
the various motor works will continue
to face heavily growing business.
This is indicated by the increase in
automobiles in the short period of the
war. Our population grew perhaps 10
per cent in these four years, but our
motor cars increased more than $50
per cent.
tremendous as this expansion OF
motorized America may seem, we have
just scratched the surface. Our rea
strides will come when mechanical
efficiency reaches an approximation OF
its future power, and when science
brings fuel cost to the level it must
some day reach"

Body Work Nowadays
Proof Against Rattles

There is no excuse nowadays for

president of the Morrow Motors Cor
poration, metropolitan distributors of
Templar and Saxon cars. There was
time when people used to complain
that limousine and sedan bodies, after
few weeks of use, developed squeaks
and rattles. Such noises were most
annoying to women who were at all
inclined to be nervous, and indeed
anything but pleasant for the passen-
ger with good, strong nerves."

No attempt is made in the salon to
bring together huge number of vehi-

preceding annual exhibitions, is rather
to select from the worlds leading pro-

them in surroundings that permit of

Separate Sales

For Essex Cars

Since its New York debut. made on

Essex cars have been sold in the Met

president of the Hudson Motor Car

In order to take care of this tre-

the situation in more adequate man
ner, Mr. HOupt announces that he has
organized a separate and distinct retail
sales force to handle the sale of Essen
cars. He has also decided to separate
the Hudson aud Essex salesrooms. He
will cut through the southerly part OF
the Broadway salesroom and will de-
