NEARLY HALF MILLION
 DEPRIVED OF SCHOOLING
Rx,aAssncinted Press

Washington, December 9.-Be.ween 90o,- 600 and 10000 children were deprived of schooling last year as direct result Of the shortage of teachers. according to estimates made by P r. Claxton, federal commissioner of education. in his annual report made public tonight. No relief for the situation is seen by the commits sioner, who added that, while from no,oOO needed during the coming year, we shall have at the outside 5000 prepared teachers to fill vacancies, or deficit of at least S0,0OO"
 Of even greater moment than the ac- tual shortage, the report said, was the increase in ''sub-standard" instructors. More than half the 35o,000 teachers Of the nation, it added, are not prepared, according to any reasonable standard, for the work of teaching.
 The reasonable standard of preparation is placed at a high school education plus two years of professional training
 One-fifth of the approximately @OOo high school teachers in the country, the report stated, are intending to seek other employment. To fill such vacancies as would be created by the teachers carry ing ont their intention, and to fill ap proximately 5000 places created by the normal growth of hg'h schools not more than 5000 eligibles will be available.
 The result will be that in high schools alone ''15000 to 2400o of the positions can not be filled by adequately prepared teachers"

 In fact she just said right out that there was no happiness left for her. tried to reason with her, but as well reason with the sun, moon and stars. told her I'd buy her anything under the sun she wanted; I'd buy her another vase five times as handsome and ten times as pretty and fifteen times as ef- fective; anything to appease her, but it was like talking against brick wall. She would have none of my logic; what was worse, she'd have none of my prof. fered vases; not a Satsuma nor a Sevres, Coalport nor yet Dresden nothing could compensate for the loss of that nasty little old blue and white thing, so I left her in tears; not mine, but her tears, you understand, and sneaked away like thief in the night"
 Perhaps it was an heirloom" I sug- gested, and that made, 1t valuable"
 As yet I have never discovered the real cause of its value.' said the c. O. B., dejectedly. All I know is that whatever made it so valuable was a tremendous, wonderful, unknowable reason.

Declares Neither England Nor World
 Shall Have Peace
By Associated Press

Washington, December 9.--The wid- ow of the late lord mayor of Cork. Mrs Muriel MacSwiney, presented to- day to the commission of 100 investi- gating the Irish question, her story of the hunger strike in Brixton prison in London, her husband and of his death. and the details as she had wit messed them of attempts by the Irish republicans to gain freedom for their country.
 Mrs. MacSwiney concluded her testi- mony with the declaration that Eng land shall have no peace that the world will have no peace until our republic is recognized" Miss Mary MacSwiney, sister of the late lord mayor, recalled to add details to the story she told the commission yester- day, added to the declaration of her sister-in-law the assertion that the coming winter would be "Ireland's S Valley Forge" and appealed for Amer ican aid not, she said, for the men and women of Ireland, but for the chil- dren.
 The coming winter in Ireland" said Miss MacSwiney, will be hard The British have destroyed our crops, our supplies of food. The men can get on the women can stand the suffering But it is for the children I plead. We must have help this winter"
 The widow of the Cork lord mayor declared there was no choice for Irish republicans but to stand together, whatever the cost, and continue the fight for independence She said it was such spirit that had actuated her usband to refuse food until death.

INSURANCE MEN MEET
By Associated Press

New York, December a-Life insurance in it's relations to many other phases of American life was discussed today be- fore insurance executives from nearly every state in the Union and Canada at the fourteenth annual convention of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents.
 There will be no substantial reduction of taxes in the near future said Repre- sentative Nicholas Longworth, member of the House ways and means commit tee, which frames revenue measure. He predicted that Congress would make a cut approximatng 8 billion dollars from estimates aggregating more than four billions presented by the executive de- partments. This, however, would not permit any general reduction in taxes.
 Life insurance companies of America have loaned more than s23o 0o0,0U on city and farm real estate mortgage in the first 10 months of this year, accord ing to Haley Fiske, president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, another speaker.

1.-THE OLD HOMESTEAD"
 AT THE JEFFERSON

Plays come and go, but '-rhe Old Homestead" seems destined to live forever. This classic drama of rural life was presented at the Jefferson theatre last night, and seemed to cre- ate as much laughter and as much moisture in the eyes of the people who saw it as it has done on many other occasions. Neither has it lost it's draw ing power, for there was a well filled house
 Since Denman Thompson first won fame in this play it has been acted several thousand times, in practically every town in the country that boasts theatre, but 1t is still amusing and still holds first rank among the plays of it's type. At time when the stage is largely given over to the sort of en- tertainment that ld-fashioued people have never become quite accustomed to, it is good to see a play that deals in the simple verities, telling a story in which sentiment and humor are 1 nicely blended, without trace of the sophistication which characterizes most of the modern dramas. The company is headed by the vet eran, William Lawrence. He has been identified with the part for years and long ago became famous as the quaint 1 old farmer, Joshua Whitcomb of Swan zey, N. II.
 | The familiar story is unfolded by a competent company, including dou- ble quartet, whose singing is a flea | ture of the performance. Charles Car
 ter. another veteran, as Cy Prime; Joseph Ward as Happy Jack" who
 is saved by the kindness of Joshua
 Nelson Riley as Henry Hopkins, and
 Rene Darcy as Aunt Matilda, were conspicuous in a large cast. The Old Homestead" will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre for
 the remainder of the week, with a
 matinee Saturday afternoon.

PATRONAGE DROPS;;
 WANTS RATE HIKE.
Representatives Urge Weight and Decreased Custom Basis
 of Pullman Surcharge

Montgomery, December 9.-(Spe- cial.)-With passenger traffic officials and members of counsel for practically every railroad operating in Alabama present the petition of carriers for au- thority to levy surcharge of 50 per cent on Pullman and chair car travel over the lines in interstate business was taken up before the public serv- ice commission today.
 The hearing continued throughout the day, with c. B. Northrup of the Southern Railway system; F. J. Robin son, passenger traffic manager of the Central of Georgia, and w. A. Becker, passenger traffic manager of the Southern, as the principal witnesses.
 When the session was adjourned to- night, the railroads had presented their case, and a decision from the commis- sion is expected within the next 10 days.
 President Sam Kennedy of the com mission conducted the examination of the witnesses, and his opinion, as ex- pressed during the hearing. was that the railroads have no more right to charge more for a person riding in a Pullman or chair car on fast train for the same person to ride on a slow train in a day coach. Mir. Kennedy also took exception to the statement of MT. Becker that the railroads really furnished the Pullman service, as the Pullman company had no rails on which to operate it's cars.
 A great deal of technical information as to weights of day coaches, Pull man and chair cars was presented to the commission in relation to the ton miles of passenger traffic hauled in the one or the other. During the ex- animation of MT. Northrup, who is of general counsel for the Southern sys- tenn, he admitted that perhaps it would have been more practicable for the railroads to have sought its additional revenue from the Pullman company and let that company go to the railroad commission for the amount required.
 President Kennedy interposed the statement that the increase in Pullman charges as sought in the petition for authority to the railroads to levy this surcharge would mean general re- duction in the use of the Pullman cars And when this comes" he said, "the Pullman company will be with us ask ing higher rates for its service"

ALABAMA FARMER
 REDUCES ACREAGE
Agricultural Commissioner Says Planters of This State
 Are PraCtiCing Diversity

Montgomery. December 9.-Alabama has already done her full part toward cutting cotton acreage, in the opinion of Commissioner of Agriculture M. C.. Allgood, expressed in a reply to a Georgia editor. who sought the Ala bama officials cooperation in con- Junction with the commissioners of other southern states in a general acreage reduction movement.
 If other states would do as well as Alabama" said the commissioner, "the acreage would be reduced sufficiently
 Mir. Allgood said that the state led the south ih yield of sweet potatoes. velvet beans, peanuts and syrup and that next years records would see even more Of these products and less of cotton.
 The commissioner said that the Ala bama farmer would not be financially able to raise a normal crop of cotton next year If he so wi1led and in his opinion the 1921 acreage would fall much below that of 1920 without any outside organization influence

I broke the vase the oculist told her that it was only question of time when she would be blind. Think of it! But my sister said never a word; sim ply thought over 1t bit and finally de- clared that if she must be anything she'd rather be blind than deaf, because she had a horror of not hearing every thing that went on. Directly she asked me If I could find her some books on the Braille system, and she said she could amuse herself learning it. Now what do you think of that?"
 Christian fortitude." 1 said.
 But wasn't 1t the most pathetic thing you ever heard of?" asked the bachelor. much wrought up. Think of not shedding tear when she heard she was going to be blind the rest of her life, and crying like her heart would break when I knocked a little old 50- cent vase off the mantel. How do you account for it?'
 Because" I said. "A woman's req son."
 Stuff and nonsense" growled the bachelor. That's just it Women make big hullabaloo over little things and never seem to attach an atom of importance to the big things of life It makes me tired. They will fuss and fume over frills and furbelows, or they will try a fellow till he swears and cusses because he throws ashes on the rugs or his soiled linen on his bedroom floor, yet if he embezzles a large sum and is sent to the penitentiary they would stand by him till the bitter end and never say an unkind word to add to his sufferings."
 "A woman will have mysteries if her husband brings a stranger home to din- ner," the bachelor went on, without telephoning her, but if he was brought home with his hand shot off or his leg punctured, she would sit by him for hours and nurse him and drive all the anguish away and dominate the situa tion like a thoroughbred"
 That's a woman's way" said. Tt is inexplicable-to men-but it's hers by divine right of gentleness, womann- ness and tenderness"
 The reason I've never married" said the crusty old bachelor. shaking more cigar ashes on our brand new rug, till I wanted to punch his head, is because I do not care especially about solving enigmas as lifework. If could ever know any woman well enough to prophecy what she would do under any given circumstances, I might consider marrying. But I cannot. Womankind is a sealed book to me, She would all ways keep me guessing. All the fe- males I know keep me guessing, and it's not good for man to guess too much, therefore my single state.''
