KANSAS CITY HAS
 CAR SHORTAGE

Kansas City, Mo-. Aug. 27-With wheat bins in Kansas City elevators practically empty and wheat arrivals inadequate to meet the demand for shipments to other markets and for export, the freight car shortage is clearly reflected here.
 Slightly less than 100000 bushels are now stored in local elevators which have a capacity of between 5 and 20 million bushels. A year ago the supply was nearly 9,000,000. The amount in storage here has increased only a few thousand bushels since the harvest.
 The shortage of cars for grain shipment in the Southwest has never been more acute, according to grain company 0mcials here.
 A critical situation in business and financial circles was predicted by local grafnmen unless the car situa- tion is improved. It will take 28 months, at the present rate, for the railroads to move wheat now in Kan sas, according to Judge Clyde M. Reed, Of the Kansas court of indus trial relations, who is Investigating the car shortage.

ished by officials not to go unless they had accommodation on the isl and. Few needed it, however, and that night the beaches were almost covered with persons unable to get shelter or unable to pay the high prices resulting from the influx.
 Thousands went to resorts ny mo- tor cnar-a-bancs which have become very popular this summer because of high rail fares and inconvenience of crowded trains.
 It is a custom in England for many people of the less influential classes to marry on bank holiday" the first Monday in August. They take their fortnight vacation for the honeymoon. At one village two hours before a train left for a popular nearby resort 20 couples were lined up in front of the village church waiting their turn for the parson to do his duty.

Kansas City, Aug. 27-Secretaries of all state councils of defense have been called upon to meet here Sep tember 13 and IA, in an effort to consolidate more than 5000 organi- cations in different parts of the country who claim as their object the combating of fred" propaganda. Call for the meeting was issued by J. J. Metcalf, of Des Moines, Iowa, secretary of the Iowa state council of defense during the war and by J. c. Mohler, formerly secretary Of the Kansas council. Many of the state councils have ceased to function The object of the meeting here, it is stated, is to determine as far as pos sible what alleged patriotic organiza- tions are deserving of support, as well as to formulate "Americanization'

[ LARGER CITIES OF ENGLAND HAVE
 GREAT EXODUS

London, Aug. 27-Never has there been such an exodus from the larger cities of England to seaside and will lage for the vacation period as this year. Railroads and coastwise steamship companies have been un- able to cope with the traffic and lack of housing facilities at the more pop ular resorts have forced thousands to sleep on the sands until they can ar rsnge to get back home.,
 August, partly because of custom >.zarrnest of the cool English sum- Country.
 This year the government decided to raise railroad fares to 75 per cent above the pre-war level in order to recoup some of the losses incurred in operation by the government. This increase was made in face of a solid press campaign against it and was announced to become effective Aug. 6. Consequently thousands who had planned their vacations later changed their plans to avoid the fare increase. The decision to go early came too late to arrange for accomm odations at resorts and thousands left home with the idea of taking a chance on getting rooms. The result was con gestion everywhere.
 At some of the London stations people waited seven hours to catch trains Trains to Brighton were heavily loaded long before the hour of departure. At Liverpool they took positions Friday night to obtain places on the boats Saturday to the popular Isle of Man. The boats were loaded as rapidly as they could be docked but thousands were left be- hind when Saturday night came. People on the wharves were admon-

Registration Figures Compiled BY
Fisher Show Increased En-.
rOllment.

So far there are about $50 more
pupils registered in the Rock Is
land public schools than last year
at this time, according to figures
given out by the superintendent Of
schools, E. c. Fisher, this morning.
At present there are about 1890
pupils in attendance in the various
schools, including the high school.
Last year, according to Mr.. Fish
er's records, tho entire enrolment
was 1872, giving this year q lead
of close to $50.
The difficulty encountered, this
fall by the officials is not lack of
space but Of distribution. There
are some districts that are over
crowded in some grades while 9th
ers have only few pupils in the
same classes. This trouble il be-
ing rapidly remedied and by the
first of next week the schools will
be going nicely.

AN ACCURATE INDEX.

Il only 92O teachers were employed in the high
schools Of the United States Today high school teachers
number more Than $1,000
The difference between 1920 and $1,000 high school
teachers, graphically measures Americas material and
spiritual expansion during the past generation.
The figures are accurate Index OF the prosperity
that is lifung and more families 70 that state Of
mdde-class well-belng wherein the labor Of the child
not required for the support OF the family These -
ures Indicate, too. fast growing appreciation on the
part OF parents Of the value OF education and recalls the
vanishing type Of odfashioned father who liked to say:
what was good enough for is good enough for my
children"
But above all else, the statistics reflect the democratic
trend OF educational methods and programs in America
Il doesn't take old man to remember The time when
high schools were regarded largely as institutions for
children Of NE wel-to-do And indeed high school
courses had restrictive and arstocratc tendencies Their
mission, largely, was TO prepare limited number Of
boys and girls 10 pass college entrance examinations
