'FIFTH OF DRAFT Tees
ILLTTERATE,' LANE

Fifteen millions Of iIliterates con-
stitute great danger" to the Amer
lean democracy. Secretary Of the In
terror Lane yesterday told the Educa-
tion and Labor Committee Of the SEN
ate in urging the passage OF a bill
for steps to cure illiteracy. 49,
E.,fI doNpot mean to say. that these
people themselves are dangerous, "
Secretary Lane said, but thoy are
easy victims for propaganda and the
germ OF discomfort.
with the signing Of the aTmistice
our morale broke down because our
motive, our big, objective was gone,
we had won the war. We must have
new motive and we must have a
program for national progress.
The situation in the world and in
our country is such that it does not
allow for party consideration"
Estimates of the Interior Depart
ment show that & there arc fifteen
million ilIiterates in the United
States, Secretary Lane said. and that
there are, three millions OF farmers
who are illiterate.
Twenty per cent OF the men draft
ed into the army were illiteratcs," D."
said the Secretary, ''and we had to
spend millions of dollars in teaching
men the meaning of the word for
ward and halt"
Congress and the administrative
branches OF the Government must
work together to create new motives
for the American people to work for
i'm order that the spirit of discomfort
may be allayed, Secretary Lane said.

BLANTON ATTACKS

Republican member of the House who
has measures to oppose his tactics in
continually demanding a quorum.
The West Texan struck terror in

enforced stay at home,
Blanton was speaking under unani-
NOUS consent on the subject on the
Department OF Labor. His attack on
that bureau was but a summary Of
the charges he had made during the
past eseveral months.
DEPRESSING. Mr.. Blsnton paid his
respects to several Republican men,

Congressman Fess OF Ohio came in

because "hc dared to gag me-
BIanton declared that Republican
members woull not have the nerve

TREATY WITH TURKS
BEING MADE READY

PARIS, Sept. 12.-The drafting of
peace terms with Turkey was the
work before the Supreme Council
pected here today to have a part in
the conference. He will be assisted by
Field Marshal Allenby, commander Of
the allied forces in Asia Minor.
The question of the future schedule
of work for the peace conference also
will be taken up. Many members Of
the conference are urging that an ad-
journment be taken after the exam
ination of Rumania's reply to the
peace conference notes.
\ plan for the settlement of the
question of the Tcschen mining dis
trict, in dispute between Poland and
Czecho-SIovakia, was adopted at yes
terday's session. 1t was agreed that
plebiscite be taken in the district,
as Jointly proposed by the Polish
and CzechO-Slovak delegates.
The decision Of the supreme council
/ for plebiscite is generally inter
preted in peace conference circles as
meaning that Tescheu will revert to
Poland, inasmUch as the Poles are in
the majority in this S1istrict. In this
! event provision viii be made to pro-
tect the economic interests of Czecho-
Slovakia.
This agreement solves one of the
most difficult problems which the
supreme council has faced. .
The delegates of Czecho-Slovakia
apparently are satisfied with the set
tlement. They will depart from Paris
! for Prague tomorrow, leaving only
one representative here.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious. as il dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing TO use is just plain
muIsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expen-
sive soaps or>anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any
drug store. and a few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about a teaspoon
full is all that is required. It makes
an abundance of rich, creamy Ia
Their, and cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and is soft,

and easy TO handle. Besides, it
