 HAVE No SHOES
 AND ARE NAKED

PARIS, July 16 (by Associated Press).-The ministry of foreign af- fairs of Montenegro maintained in Paris by Nicholas, formerly king of that country, has issued an official communique, quoting the newspaper Republique of Belgrade concerning the Serbian occupation of Montenegro. The article says:
 "The people of Montenegro are naked and have no shoes. They are too weak to work and earn a living be- cause a majority of the population has had little to eat for the last eight months or more. Many infants are dying and the children in many cases have been unable to go to school be- cause of weakness. This economic misery which is indescribable is az gravated by the regime of the authori- ties, of occupation, maintained by force and corruption. The oppressors, sent by the government of Belgrade, excite the people to anger, then kill them Those who are not killed are thrown into prison"

ENID BENNETT IN
 "THE VAMP" TONIGHT

No one who has seen the Womanly charm and grace of Enid Bennett can imagine her in a "vampie" role, as that term is generally accepted for sirens of the screen. The title of the play in which she is booked at the Empress tonight, "The Vamp," is, in fact, satirical, and the play itself delightful mixture of girlish simplicity and daring.
 As Nancy Lyons, wardrobe girl with a musical show, she has heard much about "vamps" and their success in life. The man she loves is slow to nropOse. so she borrows necessary f1nery and lays her plans. So we'll does she succeed that wedding bells speedily ring. Later, in grave crisis, she finds the old witchery still holds good, and uses her fascination to ex- cellent purpose.

 Much of the actual health care of the children must be accomplished by the home, by health boards and other organizations. But the school is the universal, the officially credited and the strategic agency to lead in the educational program of health.
 '"The most vital item in the re- sources of any country is the welfare and health of the children. No coun- try is really civilized which does not possess a national intelligence and sense of obligation relative to the health of the children and an effective complete practical program of health care for all the children of the na tion."

DEFENSE OF
 OUR SCHOOLS
 BY PROFESSOR

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 16 (by Associated Press) ).-Insufficiency, not inefficiency, in dealing with pupils not gifted with academicability is the great fault of Americas public school system, Will C. Wood, California state declared in an address at the National Educational Association convention.
 Defense of the school system against critics was voiced by MT. Wood Criti- cism, he declared, came from business men, who said some school graduates could not read and write; from manu- facturers, who charged boys lack sense of responsibility; and even from Ahe universities, which alleged many high school graduates lack general in- telligence.
 'It is broad indictment and I make no sweeping denial" MT. Wood said. SI would declare, however, that the school cannot be held responsible for all the shortcomings and frailties of human nature. We are attempting to educate all the children and a consid- erable portion are not endowed with minds capable of academic develop ment The school can develop brains but cannot supply them"
 MT. Wood declared his answer would be an unequivocal mo" to the considered in the light of their rela- tion to our national life?" One reason he gave for his belief was that the school was 'the great and fundamental reason for the success of the Amer jean people, for it kept open path way of opportunity for all the children of common folk" Another reason, he said, was that 90 per cent of our war time soldiers, who turned the tide to victory, were products of the schools. "A nation that can turn from peace to war so successfully in seventeen months as we did, cannot be said to have a failing school system.
 Faults of the school are faults of nsufficiency. There has been insuf- ficiency of vocational education, insuf- fciency of physical development and
 
 ''The national commission on the emergency in education has mapped >out a plan to help overcome in- sufficiency in our schools. It IS planned on the ground that Americas hope is her public school system. It has attempted to provide federal aid for Americanization, for overcoming illiteracy, for physical education, for teacher training and for equalization of educational opportunities in the schools It remains for us teachers to take this far-reaching program to the American people, not for the sake of ourselves, but for the sake of the children we teach and the country we serve and love-"
 Health work, as conducted in Amer 1ca's public schools, was described as ca disgrace to the nation" by Dr. Thos. D. Wood, member of the Columbia uni versity faculty, in his address.
 "Principles of universal training must, in a manner consOnant with the spirit and methods of democracy, be Interpreted and applied in the univer- sal compulsory health and physical care and training of all the children, !" he declared.
 Children of our country deserve as effective physical care as livestock and as careful attention and cultiva-

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The spread of onion smut into the
large northern onion sections and Its
increasing prevalence each year have
emphasized the Importance of prac-
teal means Of control for this desease.
After careful experimentation. special
lists of the United States department
Of agriculture recommend n solution of
formaldehyde In the furrow with the
seed.
Onion smut is caused by fungous
parasite which lives in the soil and,
when once introduced, spreads slowly
to adjoining areas. In the spring, at
the time when the onion seeds are
terminating, the smut spores, or seed
bodies, also germinate and infect the
young seedlings, causing brown to
black elongated blisters within the
scales or leaves. which often split
open, exposing the powdery black
masses of spores. Affected leaves
usually are slightly thickened and
often curve downward. Many of the
young seedlings are so heavily at
tackled that they die within three to
five weeks after termination. Others
may survive until harvest time and
reach the warehouse or market.
Controlled by FormaIdehyde.
A peculiar and important fact about
onion smut is that the onion plant can
be attacked by a fungus only while in
the young Seeding stage. After the
plants are about three inches high
they become Immune to infection by
the smut fungus. and onion sets or
seedlings three to four inches high

GOOD FARM HOUSES FAVORED
Essential That Dwellings Be Close to
Other BuiidInus-Fiowers
Aid Appearance.

The dwelling is the headquarters Of
the farm business. Chores are done
before breakfast and often after sup
per, the stock need close attention, GER
tain farm seeds are kept in the house,
the hired man may sleep there. and
the women folks often take care of
the poultry thus 1t is almost essential
that the house be reasonably close to
the other buildings. says the United
States department of agriculture.
The value of the house constitutes
an important part of the real estate
value of the farm. On the higher
priced corn-belt farms the value Of
the dwelling represents from to Is
per cent of the real estate value Of
the farm, while In the eastern part Of
the United States this percentage Is
more commonly 20 per cent or over.
The beautifying of the yard by
shrubbery, flower beds, and good
lawn involves the occasional use of
manure, the Introduction of fertile
soil, the use of team and of small
farm tools. all of which are available
on the average farm.

transplanted to smut-infested soil will
not contract the disease. In the large
commercial onion districts of the
Northern states. where the use Of sets
or seedlings Is impractical, advantage
Is taken Of the fact that onion smut
can be controlled by the application of
solution Of formaldehyde in the fur
row with the seed. Since the young
onion Seeding Is susceptible to the
disease for only a short time, 1t is nec-
essary to use only enough OF the dis
infectant to keep the fungus in check
in the soil close to the seed. The ap-
paratus for applying the formaldehyde
solution consists Of galvanized iron
tank, which is attached to the onion
seeder. Such an attachment Is Illus
trated and described in detail In Uni
ted States department of agriculture
Farmers Bulletin 1000, which will be
sent to any applicant upon request.
Care Necessary In Applying.
Great care should be used in apply
Ing this treatment. since too strong n
solution will prevent the onion seed
from terminating. while too weak n
solution will not hold the fungus In
check. Repeated recent experiments
conducted by the department of agri-
culture In the Racine (Wis) district
have shown that 200 gallons per acre
will give the most satisfactory results
and that there is no advantage In this
case In using stronger solution than
1:12S Zone pint of formaldehyde to six
teen gallons of water). Where there
is serious objection to using this
amount of liquid, because of difficulty
of application. the quantity may be
reduced to 120 to $50 gallons, but in
this case stronger solution should be
used (twO plnts of fOrmaldehyde to
sixteen gallons of water). Raising the
strength of the solution beyond this
point entails danger of reduction of
the stand, due to Seeding injury.
In sowing onion seed for onion sets,
as they are grown In the Wisconsin,
Illinois and Indiana sections by the
single-row method. about twenty times
as much seed is used per row as In
the case Of large bulb production. This
fact does not necessarily alter the
quantity Of formaldehyde solution to
be applied, since the same amount Of
soil surrounding the seed Is to be dis
infected In either case. Results Sc

mula by onion-set growers Indicate 1t

Mechanically-as people will do

and tomato seed. This condition
should prove favorable to extensive

Replies to Inquiries addressed to
representative seed dealers showed
that few in Industrial centers. par
ticularly In the East, were selling from
10 to 80 per cent less seed than last
year. The cause. apparently. was the
shortage Of labor on truck farms.
Compared with normal conditions be-
fore the war, the reduction in these
Eastern centers ranges from 10 to As
per cent.
On the whole the sales to home gar
deners seem to be larger than those of
last year, ranging from per cent
increase in some sections to so per
cent in others. Dealers In the most
NortherIy cities were unable to report
adequately because the season had not
advanced sufficiently at the time re-
plies were sent in.
