to Col. T.. w. Ryan, director of the

WOMEN OF EGYPT ARE ACTIVE
interest In Affairs Outside of Home
Draws Comment From High
Commissioner.

London.-Egyptian women are at
last beginning to take an interest In
public affairs, particularly in the
schools. Viscount Miner in his re
port as high commissioner Of Egypt
says that no change in that country in
the last few years is more striking
than the awakening interest of women
in affairs outside of the home.
The commissioner added that q few
years ago 1t was rare to find a moth
er showing a direct personal interest
In the welfare of her daughter at
school. All this was left to the fa-
ther, who often had to overcome the
mothers opposition to the education
Of her daughter.
During the last few years these
conditions have changed in the larger
towns where mothers now visit the
schools and discuss their daughters
progress with the head teacher" said
the report.
This change Is attributed by the
high commissioner largely to educa-
ton, and he predicts that its influ-
ence will be potent on the future prog
ress of educational development in
Egypt.

A SAMPLE DEAD ONE

Lieutenant Gramstorff, of Everett,
Mass, is down at the dock anxiously
looking seaward. He is impatiently
waiting for his body to come home from
France where he didn't offer up his
life for his country's cause. There
seems to be little difference between
the lieutenant and the war department
of Pansy Baker, the gent with "a pas
sion for efficiency" To Lieutenant
.Gramstorffs home not long ago came
the official notification that he was
dead, whereupon the lieutenant at once
wired the war department that the
notification was greatly exaggerated.
But Pansy flatly refused to kickin and
came back with an emphatic repetition
of the declaration of death. Again
Gramstorff denied it, this time a little
impstiently and angrily. But Pansy
proved to be stubborn brute, deter
mined to have his way. Back he came
with an order to Gramstorff to remain
dead and announcing that just to prove
that he really was dead they were send
ing him his body home from France to
be decently inferred at government ex-
pense. And that's why Gramstroff is
walking patiently to and fro on the
dock and looking out to sea occasionally
the while he carries nice little bouquet
to place on his coffin when it comes.
There's war department efficiency for
you, and we'd like to hear tell of any
one who can match up with it for
thoroughness and completeness. BY
the way, how do you suppose this dead
man voted at the recent election? And
where will he go after his funeral?

CANADIAN WHEAT
BREAKS PRICE

Record-breaking imports of wheat
and flour from Canada are cited by the
Federal Trade Commission in a report
on the cause of the recent break in the
market price of wheat. The Commits
sion does not assert, however, that the
importations are the cause of the break.
The fact is cited and the reader is left
to draw the inference that in the opinion
of the Commission the importations
and the decline are related.
Undoubtedly the importations have
been large factor in breaking the
price, as also is the possibility of still
larger importations in the future, under
the free trade law now on the statute
books by virtue of Democratic legis-
lation. But the importations do not
tell the whole story. The Federal Re-
serve Board started deflation process,
after having encouraged initiation, at
just the time when it would catch the
farmer with crops on his hands pro-
duced at initiation costs. 1t is true that
many others than farmers have been
caught in the deflation net, but none
have suffered in as great proportion,
nor are any others as helpless as the
farmers.
Both the importations and the de-
flation program may be properly
charged to the Democratic party. 1t
was the Wilson Underwood tariff act
of 1918 that put wheat and wheat flour
on the free list, and it was a Demo-
cratic Federal Reserve Board that con-
trolled credits all through the war and
that controls credits now

Those who are readiest to give others
a piece of their minds usually havn't
enough to spare even a small piece of

Few question the past of polite

From the way thester managers ad-
vertise their "bathing beauties" you'd
suppose chorus girls are the only folks
that keep clean.
When a modern man meets an old
fashioned, modest girl, nowadays, he's
a lot more embarrassed than she is.

ARMED GIRL R0UTS HAZERS
Rescues Escort Who Shot Sophomore
In Free for All Fight Among
Students.

Chicago.-Antagonis between soph-
Omore and freshman classes of the
Waukegan high school developed into
a gun battle and free for all fight In
which one student was shot and an
other beaten into insensibility. The
students involved were from some OF
the most prominent families.
The row started when three boys
and two girls drove up to attend a
party. They were seized by five haz-
ers. Carl Ambrose, boy escorting
the girls. drew revolver and shot
Theodore Lick, sophomore. Neil Dick
son, an upper classman, tore the gun
from Ambrose. The masked youths
beat Ambrose into insensibility. Two
of the girls then took a hand. One
obtained the gun and fired two shots.
The masked boys ran, leaving their
wounded companion.

Michigan Rail
Case Up Soon
Question OF Fare Increase To
Be Heard Decemember Is
By Commerce Comm.

Argument in intrastate railroad-rate
cases affecting Michigan, Ohio, Illinois,
Nebraska, and Florida will be heard by
the interstate commerce commission
Dec. 13. The question involved, as in
previous cases, is the authority of the
federal commission under the transpor-
tation act to control intrastate rates un-
der certain conditions.
Mandamus proceedings against the
secretary of the treasury have been in
stituted in the District of Columbia
Supreme court by the Grand Trunk
Western Railway company to require
payment of an interstate commerce
commission certificate calling for $500,
600 as due the road under the guaran-
ty provisions of the transportation act.
Justice Mccoy issued an order return
able Dec. Z, requiring Secretary Hous-
ton to show cause why the writ should
not be granted.
While the Grand Trunk company is
the only petitioner in the case approx
imately $400,000,000 claimed by the
railroads is involved in the litigation,
according to a statement issued tonight
by the Association of Railway EX-
ecutlves.
Temporary injunctions restraining
state officials from interfering with the
establishment of the three and one-half
cent fare rate authorized by the inter-
tate commerce commission were grant
ed fourteen railroads operating in Hi
nois in federal court. Arguments will
be heard within ten days. Attorney
General Brundage has opposed the
new fare in intrastate commerce as a
violation of the state two-cent fare Law.

Church Movies
East Jordan Methodist Church
Takes A Big Stride Forward.
Innovation Favored By The
Bishop, Dist. Supt., And
Official Board.

Movies will soon become a part OF
the community service program of the
local Methodist Church The newly ap.
pointed pastor has had several years
experience with church movies, being
his own operator most of the time. He
furthur believes that the church can no
longer afford to neglect to use this mar
velous invention.
Not many years ago people objected
to the organ and piano in church, for
they said, ':.These instruments belong to
the devil" We have learned, however,
to use all kinds of musical instruments
to the glory of God.
The day will come when the number
OF churches using pictures will be
greatly increased, though the number
now using them totals about 1900.
1t is not generally known that it was a
minister who invented the flexible film
making movies possible.
Let us just briefly enumerate some
OF the reasons for entering this field.
1) Because Education by Visualiza-
tion" is one of the most effective meth
DDS OF teaching.
~ The church exists to serve the
community and not to exploit it. FIX
hibiting clean movies is one way of SER
wing the community.
(2) The Mems Club of the Methodist
Church is pushing the program for all
they are worth and are out raising the
money necessary to purchase the
machine. People are responding in a
large way. Parents can bring their
children to church on community night
fully assured that they will see nothing
but clean, and wholesome pictures.

Taken by years this shows that wa
ges increased Is per cent, 1909 to 1916,
while efficiency decreased Is per cent;
1916 to 1918, wage increase % per cent,
efficiency decrease 81 per cent; 1918 to
1919, 25 per cent, efficiency decrease

1920, wage increase l27 per cent, eff
cheney decrease nearly 81 per cent.
On an eight-hour basis the cost to the
consuming public of getting bricks laid
has gone from $40 for /, 1000 bricks to
SO for 531 bricks, or from $4.00 a
thousand to $3.50 thousand for the
mere work of laying, to say nothing OF
the terrific loss due to delay. To ex-
press it in percentage, the cost to the
public for getting brick laid has increas-
ed 362 per cent since 1909. Added to
other construction costs it does much
to explain the shortage OF housing now
so prevalent. AT the rate the sunion
bricklayers have been going since 1909,
by 1880 we might expect them to lay
no bricks whatever and draw $3.50 an
hour for their idleness, which is the
ideal situation for which the Russian
bolsheviks have been striving.
"This condition of affairs is by no
means confined to the bricklaying
trade. 1t is to be hoped that the fig
ures put out by the Indiana association
will be followed by others concerning
other trades, in order that the public,
of which the unions are part, may see
the terrible situation into which we
drifted.
"Nor can il be considered a mere CO.
incidence that this awful slump in the
efficiency of certain unionized trades
began markedly to manifest itself at
just about the time that the Wilson Ad-
ministration cravenly surrendered to
the railroad brotherhoods by passing
the Adamson law under duress, and
within year after the Administration
put into operation the heinous cost
plus system which has done more to
demoralize the labor market than any

other method employed under the de-
featist Wilson regime.
''ln the face of such conditions
Messrs. Gompers, Morrison, and Woll
are challenging employers to reduce
wages and a huge fund is sought to
combat any attempt to balance wages
with production. These gentlemen ex-
hibit no intention OF increasing labor
efficiency and the piece-work basis is
anathema to them. Whoever calls at
tention to their delinquencies is con-
demned by them as a reactionary and
slave-driver, and the Republican party
is accused of being the arch-enemy of
labor. Il wish the higher wage to
abide, on one explicit condition. de-
clared President-designate Harding in
his speech of acceptance, that the
wage Garner will give full return for
the wage received Certainly the
American sense of fairness can concede
no more and will ask no less. 1t is the
firm belief of many students of the la
Dor problem that the workers in the
trades are anxious and willing to give
value received for the high wages ac-
corded, if certain OF the meddling labor
leaders will only leave them alone, but
until such leaders are repudiated by
the workers themselves the country
will suffer from coerced inefficiency."

THE GREAT LAKES
STRING QUARTET

The Great Lakes String Quartet, ex-
ception chamber music organization,
will be heard here on the Lyceum
course next Thursday evening.
Chamber music, originally written for
the few and until recent years occupy
ing a supposedly inaccessible niche in
musical appreciation, is now fast be-
coming one of the essential features on
programs outlined by all progressive
musical communities.
The Great Lakes String Quartet has
earned splendid name for itself be-
canse of its achievements in chamber
music.
Authoritative critics have united in
praising the work of this company.
Among the newspapers which have
commented enthusiastically on the
Great Lakes String Quartet are the Chi
cago Tribune, the Chicago Post, and
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The following cutting from the "Cin-
cinnati Enquirer" will give some idea
of the qualities. OF this excellent organ
ization
"The performance they gave last
night, especially of so elusive and deli
cate work as the Debussy quartet,
bespeaks earnest preparation, sincere
study, and attentive rehearsing. The
total balance is excellent, the color
agreeably varied, and the technical ef-
ficiency of the highest order. In
quartet of the demands placed by
Debussy, the mettle of all ensemble or
ganization can best be ascertained, and
to the credit of the visitors, be it said,
that their accomplishments was a no.
table one. There was a sensitiveness
in the playing which was of the high
est artistic sense"

STATE FACES SHORTAGE
OF REFRIGERATOR CARS.

With 5000 cars OF potatoes, 800 cars
OF apples, and a considerable amount
OF small truck to ship, Michigan farmers
face a shortage of refrigerator cars
which will make it necessary for some
shippers to use box cars instead, accor-
ding to the state farm bureau.
In conference with H. o. Halstead,
superintendent of car service of Pere
Marquette railway, and Carl Stewart,
of the Michigan public utilities commits
ion, the farm bureau traffic department
reports it has secured an endorsement
of plan providing that box cars lined
by local cooperative associations at
their own expense be returned to them.
If the Michigan public utilities COM
mission issues an order covering this
proposition it will become effective in
all railroads in this state. Mr.. Halstead
has already stated that the Pere Mar
quette will agree. To become effective
outside of the state the interstate COM
merce commission will have to is
sue an order. To secure return of
cars under this plan cooperative asso-
Citations would have to notify local
agents and divisional freight agents,
giving car number, consignee and des-
tination.

$3O9,OOO,OOO
Authorized Nov. 2.


The constitution of Kansas prohibited
the state from engaging in internal i'm
provements, but this difficulty was re-
moved by the referendum at the recent
election. That state may now pay one
fourth of the cost to not exceed 100
miles OF road in each county and not to
exceed $4,000 per mile.
The amount of bonds authorized in
the state of Virginia was not fixed in
the referendum measure, but the legis-
lature may under the law vote bonds to
the extent of approximately $50, 900, 900.
A proposal was approved in Cali
fornia increasing the interest on the
state highway bonds from AZ but not
to exceed per cent, which will permit
the state to dispose of the $40, 900, 900 in
bonds authorized in 1919.
The $29,00O 900 bonds authorized in
New Jersey are for the purpose of pay
ing the states share of the cost of a
vehicular tunnel under the Hudson

IMPROVEMENT CLUB
CELEBRATES
PILGRIMS ANNIVERSARY

The Improvement Club entertained
the faculty of our public schools and
the school board at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. w., p. Porter, Tuesday eve-
ming. The program commemorated the
the 3O0th anniversary of the Landing
of the Pilgrims. A very interesting
paper was given by Miss Porter, re-
counting the experiences of the pill
grims and emphasizing their contribu-
ton to our history. This was followed
by poem read by Mrs. Fitch and illus
trated by tableaux which showed the
Pilgrim Children in an English garden
and later in Holland with their Dutch
playmates, the embarking of the Pill
grims, their landing on New England's
shore, the first wash day, the meeting
house scene, the conference with the
Indians, and the finding of the first
Mayflower.
Among those taking part in the tab
leaux were Mesdames Dicken, Mikula,
Richard Supernaw, and Howard Porter;
Messrs. Keyworth, Webster, Mikula,
Howard Porter, Wells, Speltz, and
Watson. The Pilgrim and Dutch child
rem were represented by Helen Bam-
ber, Evelyn Webster, Mary Jane Por-
ter, Ruth Parks, Martha Monroe, Gene
Bechtold, Edward Carr, Billy Parks,
and Billy Porter
After the tableauX refreshments
were served and a social time enjoyed.
