 After an investigation, the local po- Mice department announces that the headquarters of the plotters is not in Washington. Local officers declare that they had heard of such plotting, but that their information was that all literature bearing on the plot came out of Chicago.
 The department of justice has inter- ested itself in the situation for it is re- ported that the newspapers and period icals of the black race, which. breathe defiance and urge revolt, are financed by the I. w. w.
 The department, however, has taken no action as yet against the Messenger and the Crisis radical negro period- icals, published in New York. South erners have repeatedly urged that they be excluded from the mail.

 we are preparing a funeral march for the general staff bill. Tell us your ideas as to how we should proceed"
 The general staff bill is regarded as militaristic. It provides for very large army, 550,000 men, a very large gen eral staff with plenary power, and uni versal compulsory military training. The indications are that the Congress will enact bill providing an army of about 250 900 with a general staff shorn of war-t time power, and provisions for an enlarged national guard warmly en- couraged by the government.
 General Sibert who, at one time was second in command to General Pershing, and who is native of Alabama, testl- fled before the House committee on military affairs, that he was opposed to an omnipotent general staff It was his expressed opinion that the general staff should be charged with collecting and distributing supplies and relleved of all other responsibility.
 In reply to the suggestion of MT; Mckenzie. printed above, General Sibert said:
 Enact bill along the idea of that prepared by Representative Dent ot Alabama l have carefully read that bill. and believe that it will meet all requirements"
 The army, under the Dent bill would number 250,000. Other features of the bill eare for the national guard units, making such units amenable to a ou- reau the chief of which will be na- tiona1 guard officer. It does not pro- wide universal military training.
 General Sibert favored untversal training but did not express favor of universal compulsory training. He stated that if universal training was not provided, the national guard of the sev- eral states should be materially ln- creased in number. Q

Teacherless Schools.

1t was recently predicted that the
schools of this country will soon be
short $4,000 teachers, and that $780,
900 children will be without instruc-
ton, unless more young women are
induced to take up this work. It is
felt by all educators that the schools
will not be on normal basis, until
teachers receive salary advances equal
to changes in cost of living.
While the taxpayers are grooming
and getting ready to meet this situa-
lion, it should be possible to fill the
gap, by employing married women
who formerly taught school. They
will not have the latest educational
methods. But they will know more
Of life than the young teacher and will
have had more experience with chill

Millions of women have had this
useful experience. With this reserve
available, no school ought to be clos

town should be able to form in this
way a list of competent substitutes

The Efficiency of Advertising


If in town where the merchants
rad never advertised much, they
7hould form the practice of using pub
lefty, what changes would take place
On non-advertising basis, if store
buyers did find some special lot hay
ng exceptional worth for the money,
hey would not be able to attract pub
lie attention to it, and it might take
them long time to work it off.
On an advertising basis, if store
buyer had chance to pick up large
lot at reduced price, he would have
confidence TO go ahead. He could buy
very largely in excess of the usual
demand, depending upon advertising
70 bring in a lot of customers who
would buy in advance of actual needs.
The first result of advertising, then,
is to make it possible for merchants
to do business in bigger way, to buy
in larger lots at lower pricees, to take
advantage of special opportunities
and give their customers the benefit.
