SAYS MORE BOYS GO
 TO THE HIGH SCHOOLS

According to pr. Leonard P. Ayres, di- rector of the Russell Sage foundation s department of education, Alabama's most marked departure between 1890 and lsls has been in the increased attendance or boys in the high schools. The increase has been from IA to 28 per cent The increase is one of 100 per cent.
 The report shows that of the United States the west has risen in the scale or lteracy, while the east has backtrached in comparison.
 Another significant showing is the rela tive standing of the country's territorial possessions. Hawaii is twenty-third, Ca nal Zone twenty eighth, and Porto Rico forty second.
 Montana now occupies first place with California and Arizona next in line. Lowest average salary is that of $25 per month in North Carolina and the highest average that of $SS in Utah.
 Since the war high school attendance throughout the country has greatly in- creased but the new pupils have been mostly girls, the boys going to work to earn the high wages.

A COMPROMISE ON LEAGUE PLANK IS
 FORCED BY LODGE
toontinued from Page One,

Crane had torn. For it is Murray Crane who brought the League of Nations to Chicago. No one has seen Murray Crane. He is as mysterious as the League of Nations itself which eye Of man hath not seen, though ear of man hath heard much about 1t. Murray Crane had retired from politics, it was officially announced from Massachu- setts many days ago. but persons say that Murray Crane is here near the boss, and that he brought the League of Nations with him.
 Jim Watson arrived from Washington a few days ago. and at that time the League of Nations had been left at Pres ident Wilson's doorstep. Jim Watson came here in the full consciousness that the League of Nations would never be met here. But now Murray Crane is here and the league is with him, mad young senators gnash their teeth and fine ladies ruefully count the number of gowns they have left in their trunks which the Rlackston has not yet seen. The taradid- dles of the League of Nations took six months to dispose of it at Paris and eleven months to dispose of it at Wash ington, and the end there is not yet.
 The question in the Blackstone all day and all night yesterday was, Shall we mention the league or not? And if we mention it, shall we mention the Lodge reservations to the league covenantT On this question the republicans divided, as in Washington, into the milds and the wilds The milds said that the league must be mentioned. The wilds said that it must not, and young senators dashed their canes upon the ground and said the republican party would disappear.
 LEAGUE A LIVE ISSUE
 One thing is iclear-Washington is not Chicago In Washington the league was totally, finally and forever disposed of. 1t was bitter-ended and reservationed to death, but in Chicago it was very much alive.
 The delegates had their own view of the league, and it was not the Borah-Johnson view One of them Illustrated it graphical lv. He drew line at one side of a piece of paper. He said, MT. Wilson is here. He drew a line at the other side and said. And the republican senators pro- poe to stand here They would surrender all that intervening territory for occu- patton by MT. Wilson I don't believe in it. It Auld be as if Marshal Joffre. when tW Germans violated France, had e.ected to meet them clear at the western side of this country along the coast of the Atlantic ocean. We can't give the whole league and every kind of league to MT Wilson,"
 The truth is that Johnson got hold of the wrong tail In Washington he had the United States Senate by the tall. ana thought he had the republican party by the tail. Since he came to Chicago ne has discovered his mistake

COOSA POWER BILL
 YET MAY BE SAVED
Attorney Generals Opinion Is That Presidents Sig
 nature Makes It Official

Capt. ". P. Lay and other members of the Coosa-Alabama River Improve ment Association have reason to be- lieve that the water power bill, erfs abling tho power and navigation devel- opment of the Coosa, shall have been saved by the Presidents signature and that it will be law.
 This action is expected at any mo- ment.
 Senator Underwood on Thursday morning wired Captain Lay as follows:
 The attorney general has just de- livered the President an opinion that it is within his power to sign the water power bill after adjournment of Congress within ten days from the time he received it.
 Have just had talk with Secretary Payne. who made original objection to bill, and he has now agreed to withdraw objection and recommend to President to sign. so l believe that within forty-eight hours the water power bill will be signed and become law N
 If the water power bill is signed the Alabama Power Company will forthwith announce plans for doubling it's present hydroelectric capacity. This. presumably will be by building a sixty five-foot power dam at Dun northi of Wetumpka. This dam will generate as much power as lock 12, where the company has it's present hydroelectric plant, besides removing another large portion of the Coosa river rapids.
 If the bill is not signed the com pany will have to revamp it's power development plans and develop on some of the sites which it posses on non-navigable streams.
 The provision of the constitution re- 1ating to the Presidents signature to bills, article l, section ', reads in part, as follows:
 THE LAW
 If any bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days Sundays exeepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be law in like manner as if he had signed 1t, unless the congress, Dy their adjournment prevent it's re l. turn, in which case it shall not be law"
 This section is taken to refer to negative action on the part of the President In that case adjournment of Congress which finds bill un- signed nullifies that bill unless the President takes positive action and signs it. But the Presidents right to affirmative action lasts for ten days after he has received the bill.
 In other words, the water power bill is dead by reason of adjournment of Congress if the President does not sign it, but it is law If he does sign it.
 The objection of Secretary Payne is understood not to have been basic one but, owing to his newness in of- flee, he was unwilling to assume re- sponsibility for the bill without thor ough study of it. This the early ad- journment of Congress, following it's passage, did not allow him.
 In answer to a query, the following telegram was received from Senator Oscar W. Underwood yesterday:
 "Presfdent has not signed water
 power bill up to 5 o'clock this aft
 ernOon. Under Attorney eneral
 Paimer's ruling, he has until mid-
 night Friday. think he will sign.

On the great plantation of an Amer ican rubber company in Sumatra one of the chief difficulties of the plantation managers is to keep the sources of drink ing water free from contamination.

Puns Have Their Brief Day

One is sure that elbow sleeves will
last a season or two at l~east--their
comfort and becomingness assure
that. But puffs never endure long;
they are too trying to the average
wearer. Just now. however, puffs are
quite the rage and many Of the new
frocks have sleeves pulled between
shoulder and elbow. There is one
thing about a puff; 1t can always be
ripped off when one has tired of It,
and some other trimming substituted.

rather quaint with puffs finishing the
short sleeves, and puffs at the sides
Of the skirt carry out the style. A
smart feature Of this costume is the
fiat panel running down the front of
the skirt with bouffant drapery
massed at the sides. This is an idea
much fancied at the moment. Some
times founces or rufles run around
the skirt at sides and back. the
straight panel remaining at the front.
