PUT Their WITS TO WORK
Spanish Post Office Clerks Did Really
creditable Job In Solving Rebus
.,.f, q .on Envelope.

A curiously addressed letter passed
through the post Office at Madrlo'
which was .deciphered and correctly
delivered, Notwithstanding all difficult
ties, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The address was a perfect rebus. At
the left hand side was the figure OF a
lady :; it was clear, therefore, to which
sex the recipient should belong Over
the lady's head the sun was rising;
hence her name was Inferred to be
Aurora. For her surname stood hill,
with castle at its foot, which gives
us Monies , Castillo"
Next comes the town, for which the
plan Of a city was drawn, on which the
ALEXANDRIA was legible. This indicated
Granada, but In order to leave no
doubt possible, pomegranate was
drawn beside the plan. TO complete
the address q number was indicated In
one Of the streets Of the city plan.
The postal authorities took three
days to study this curiosity and then
triumphantly delivered the letter to
"Senoritay Aurora Monies y CASTILLO,
Azacayas, No. 20. Granada" and SO far
from scensuring the sender, they had
the envelope photographed and a copy
printed in the Madrid newspapers, as q
proof Of the intelligence Of the depart
ment. ,",~' - =

FOR KNOWLEDGE
IS INCREASING EACH YEAR

Washington, Sept. % Capital
News Service). - Reports from
throughout the United States are to
the effect public schools, colleges and
universities, have found it impossible
to care fer the great number of stu
dents who clamor for admission to
these institutions. Washington off,
cialdom, discussing this situation, sees
a healthy sign in this intense desire
on the part of the young people of
the United States to get an educa-
ton.
This condition has existed, accord
ing to school and college heads, since
the war. 1t has resulted in atten-
ton being centered as never before
upon the need for improved school
facilities adequate compensation for
instructors, and the making of such
provision for the future as will enable
all who desire to improve their minds
to be given that opportunity, and
under the most favorable auspices
possible. :.
Among those seeking admission to
American institutions of lcc-ning is
found an increasing number of stu
dents from foreign countries. The
Orient, even, is furnishing it's quota:
AS an example, her royal highness,
the Princess Tarhata, niece of the
Sultan of Sulu, visited Washington
recently on her way to attend an in
terror college in Illinois. In response
to a question, the Princess said she
selected the college to which she was
going out of desire to acquire as
much as possible of American train.

DIRECTIONS FOR GOOD LAWN
Good Judgment and Much Work
Necessary, But the Results Will
Be Found Worth While.

Success or failure In lawn-making Is
based on the preparation Of the seed
bed, which necessarily requires great
care and good judgment. The physical
condition of the soil may be greatly
improved by growing some soil-build-
Ing crop preparatory to seeding. The
land should be turned and sub-soiled
to a depth of 6 to IL inches, and
narrowed until 1t is thoroughly pnlver-
lied. Before turning, liberal appli-
cations e to 10 tons per acre) Of
well-decomposed stable manure and
800 pounds Of lime should be applied.
When a perfect seed bed has been
made, apply 600 to 500 pounds Of
9-4-4 commercial fertilizer and harrow
thoroughly into the first few inches of
soil. ~.
The lawn grasses should be careful
~ selected, and only those grasses or
mixtures used that are adapted to that
locality and are capable of making
good sod under existing conditions. A
mixture of Kentucky blue grass, Ber-
muda, and white clover is especially
suitable to the partially shaded lawn,
the. blue grass predominating In the
shaded portions Of the lawn and the
Bermuda in the sunny spots while the
clover keeps the entire lawn green
throughout the winter. 49,.
The mixture should be planted dur
ing early October, using 30 to 30
pounds of blue grass, four to five
pounds Of clover, and proportionate
amount Of Bermuda roots per acre.
The seeding Of the blue grass and
clover should follow the planting OF
the Bermuda. which should be planted
in rows Is inches apart, dropping the
roots IL to Is inches apart and cover
ing three to five inches deep with al
ternating rows. Separate sowings OF
blue grass and clover should be made.

by use Of mechanical seeder. The

FOUR PRIZES OFFERED
i := IN HEALTH CONTESTS

/. flour prizes, each og $25, are being
offered this fall by DR.. Mabel >.
JJlrich, director of the Health Service
department for the Northern division
of the Red Cross. The subjects OF the
four contests are.
A set of twelve health posters or
q "health PREMIER" ~ <
A scenario for moving picture
play, illustrating some special health
activity:
A health playlet, and
A plan for making any school dis
trict "the most healthful district in
the state"
Only students at Normal schools
and rural teachers will be eligible
to complete for these prizes.
The posters should be designed
with the idea of using them for
teaching chillden the fundamental
health rules, such as the necessity
for much sleep with open windows,
for drinking milk rather than coffee,
for brushing the teeth twice day
at least, for having vigorous exer-
else. Twelve posters, each illustrat-
ing different rule, constitute the
set. They should be on double
weight Bristol cardboard, % by 2S
inches in size. II the pictures cut
from magazines are used for decora-
ton, the name and date Of the maya
zine should be placed on the back. A
health primer may be submitted In
stead of the posters, and it should be
in the form of simply made booklet
containing pictures and verses IL
Illustrating health rules.
The scenario should be one reel in
length, and like the playlet is. in
tended to present in dramatic form
the all-important lesson of health. 1t
should be adapted for presentation
to an audience of children.
The playlet should be written with
the idea of having it acted by chill
dren, perhaps as part of their hygt-
enc work. For this reason, it should
have only one act or at most two
acts; and the scenery and costumes
should be simple enough so that 1t
may be put on in the ordinary rural
school.
In formulating the plan for max
ing a school district more healthful
conditions in the average rural com.
munity should be kept in mind, and
all details should be worked out te
make it entirely practical. A plan
that has been tried successfully
would be especially valuable.
All entries for these contests
should be sent in to DR.. Ulrich at
the Northern division headquarters
at Minneapolis before December 1,
1920. The judges will be leading
health and social workers of the d.
vision. Their decisions will be made
December Is, and the prizes awarded
at once. Each manuscript or set OF
posters submitted should bear num-
Der and the name of the person for
which it stands. No names should
appear on the manuscripts or posters
submitted.
II further information regarding
the health contest is desired, applica-
ton should be made to DR.. Mabel W.
rich, Director of Health Service,
Northern Division, at Minneapolis.
