GIVEN NAMES OF PRESIDENTS
Historical Applications Bestowed on
SUBMITS Of Mountain Range In
Old Vermont.

Heretofore when M spoke Of the
presidential range everyone every
New Englander, at least-knew. with
out further particularizing. that Mount
Washington and its attendant SUBMITS
was the subject. writes Allen Cham
berlain IN the Boston Evening Tran
script.
Henceforth one must needs be more
specific. since during the last year a
rival presidential range has appeared
on the map In Vermont. That region.
hitherto generally spoken of as the
Bread Loaf Mountain section, lying
between Middlebury gap and the Lin
Warren pass, was but little
known, except In Its southerly portion.
until the Green Mountain club men
ran their Skyline trail through. They
found there q maze of unnamed sum-
mits grouped as in council. and SEEM
ingly worthy OF being recognized as
individuals of distinction.
Just north OF these heights il the
rugged mass whose SUBMITS have been
known for % than half A century AZ
Mounts Abraham and Lincoln. Quite
naturally the idea of a new presIden-
tia range arose and, with great pdrti-
san restraint, four Of the neighborlng
mountains were therefore named
Mount Grant, Mount Grover Cleve-
land. Mount Roosevelt and Mount
Woodrow Wilson.

TEACH CORRECT READING
OF NEWSPAPERS

One editorial writer for The Silver
State makes a suggestion that stu
dents of Spanish in the local high
school translate an article appearing
in that language in this issue, and
submit their efforts for republication
in English. The matter is al inter-
esting local story. furnished by a
Spanish writer whose idiom and die
ton are acknowledged to be excel
lent. 1t would be excellent practice
for the students-practical work, as
it were-and besides would be a very
interesting thing for local readers to
observe.
Spanish is unusual, perhaps, in
English newspapers, and the novelty
of translation might form a special
appeal to students. But intelligent
reading of the weightier news and edi-
torial matter is coming to be consid-
cred, by many educators. a most i'm
portant branch of common and shigh
school education. yellow" newspa-
pers, so-called, have induced a style
Of reading as frivolous as the lurid
matter set forth In their pages, tbs
often averred. That pupils in public
schools should be taught to read
newspapers and to read them intelli-
gently, was the statement made in
Chicago last week by James F. Hosic,
noted citizen of the Windy City, who
spoke before the National Council of
Teachers In English.
"The newspaper is the most power
full factor In forming opinion in q
country which is governed by public
opinion" said Mr.. Hosic, land in or
der to have good newspapers we must
have an educated clientele.
Like everything else. newspapers
are as good as their readers. All
look forward to the pos
of improvement in the quality
of their papers as the reading public
responds to a better and more digni-
fed treatment of current events"

No More Shiny Domes.

After the wonders which we have
seen worked for the soldiers who suf.
fered Disagreement during the war,
it is not surprising that plastic sur
geons are turning their attention to
improving civilians also. Usly noses,
projecting ears, harelips and all sorts
OF other obstacles to good looks Will
probably be easily corrected In the
not-far-away future. The most In
teresting thing along this line which
has been recently discovered Is that
no one need suffer from badness any
more. BY grating q piece of skin
from some part OF the head where
hair is still growing onto the bald
patch. a new covering Is said to be
insured.

THE ADMINISTRATION
SMILED


In a public hall in Washington the
other day William Z. Haywood, noto-
rious leader Of the I.W.W., whom
some older citizens of Winnemucca
have cause to remember. and who is
now under a t~hirty-year sentence for
violation of the espionage law, adj
dressed an audience containing M
thousand people. He extolled the
Russian soviet government. hoped
the United States would not be the
last to follow the example of Russia.
and called on American workers to
open the prison doors" before they
themselves were imprisoned for ex-
ercising the right of free speech.
1t is reported that secret service
men, local Washington detectives. and
policemen in uniform. were in the
hall and that no attempt was made
to interfere with the speaker. This
is not the first time that red propa-
gandists have been allowed to dis
seminate their poison under the very
eyes of government officials at the
national capital, and probably other
instances will occur before March A.
After that date the United States gov
eminent will have a new virility and
will find a way to deal effectively
with those who urge its overthrow by
violence.

FIJI Fashions.

Mr.. r. w. Dalton. In his report Of
the trade Of the FIJI islands. says:
"Shirts are gradually gaining In popu-
larity among the Fijians. All kinds
of soft tennis shirts with collar and
pocket or collar and two pockets sell
freely. These shirts are usually worn
for dressy occasions. when the ma
tives are generally clothed in white
or cream. There is an increasing de-
mand for khaki shorts and trousera
The shorts are either plain or with
buckle knees and r being worn by
Fijian men beneath or instead Of a
loin cloth. There II also a large sale

1t would be interesting and good
practice il the Spanish class at the
high school would translate the story
printed in that language In this issue
of The Silver State. and hand 1t in for
publication in the next issue of The

do with the visit of Bruno Erquiaga to

Federal Trade Commission Re:
ports Coal Operators Make
Enough to Pay Miners.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-The Pres
ident has made public the majority
and minority reports Of the coal COM
mission appointed by him after the
recent coal miners strike was called
off. The majority report, with a 27
per cent increase. almost doubles the
award of Fuel Commissioner Garfield,
which was rejected by the miners.
The award includes the significant
statement that the coal industry is
''speculatively over developed"
The miners have insisted that coal
owners profits can absorb wage in
creases.
"A:recent report Of the federal trade
commission furnished ample mater
ial to back up this statement" the
miners said. I'm the central Pennsyl-
vania coal field, for example, this re-
port shows. that there was. an advance
in the cost of the labor required to
produce ton of coal from 80 cents in
1916 to $1.36 in 1913, or 81 cents,
while the amount: realized by the oper-
ator for the sale of coal advanced from
$1.36 to $2:49s an increase Of $1.13; or
more than double the increase in the
cost of labor during the same period.
/ "According to the figures of the
federal trade commission, as brought
out in the exhibit, labor's share, in
each dollar paid by the public has
actually decreased by Is per cent since
1916, while the operators share has
