PIywood in AirpIane Construction.

Plyw0od Is wood Of any variety that
has been cut by machine into thin
layers and glued together again In
such a way that the grain of one layer
runs at an angle to the grain of two
adjacent layers. The strength Of n
plywOod panel, In two planes. greatly
exceeds that OF steel. With some wood.
by combining cuts, It is even possible
to get greater resistance to stress In
all three planes than steel affords.
though 1t Is rarely necessary to go so
far. Ordinary wood used for airplane
construction Is not required to with
stand severe stresses In more than
two planes. What piywood means to
airplane construction is well illustrat-
ed by the De Hnviland-4. Before that
method OF using wood was invented
the best alrplane wing rib weighed 7.05
ounces, and was capable Of sustaining
a load of only so pounds. Since then
the plywood rib used on the De Havi-
land weighs 5.12 ounces and will carry
a load of PA pounds.-Popular Me-

This Is Estimate of Force Re-
CURED by Interchurch World
Movement Program.
5000 new MISSIONARIES
TO GO TO FOREIGN FIELOS
Burden of Preparation Rests Chiefly
on Denominational Schools
and Colleges.

More than 100000 workers will be
needed during the next five years in
the world campaign planned by Amer
ica's Protestant churches affiliated
with the Interchurch World Move
ment More than 5000 new mission
aries are TO be recruited for the for
eign fields alone, and thousands of
other workers, lay and clerical, ure
to be secured for churches in the af-
filiated organizations of this country.
Where are they all to come from?
1t used to be the notion that the
only essential equipment needed by
person who proposed to devote his
life to the church was call" On
the other hand, the modern mission
worker knows that, while devotion to
duty is an absolutely Indispensable
requisite. it must be supplemented by
highly specialized training. As much
executive equipment is required, ii is
commented, to direct II congregation
rs to direct Il business. for the sue
cessful clergyman must know modern
life in all its many sided phases quite
as well as Biblical history. The mis-
SloiaiN nowadays must OtNen lcaCn
agriculture, carpentry, hygiene or
sanitation to pnve the way to the gos
pei.
Most of the church workers of to-
day are trained in church schools and
colleges, the Interchurch survey
shows. A preliminary survey of edu-
cation in the United States made by
the interchurch has brought out the
fact that 30 per cent of the ministers
and missionaries in service hive re-
ceived their education in institutions
under the control of the church. To
these institutions the church must
look, it is believed, for most of its
future workers.
Part of the fund that is to be col
lected by the Interchurch World Move
ment will be apportioned among the
denominational schools and colleges
| supported by the churches which are
taking part in the campaign.

CUBA OWES MUCH TO GORGAS
Work Of American Medical Officer
Converted Island From Plague
Spot to Pleasure Recort.

Cubans take a great deal of pride In
the Prado, a splendid avenue about two
miles in length extending from
charming park to the Havana water
front. Several years ago the tourist
who had walked on the Prado was
generally held to have risked his life
by mingling with the crowd, when yell
low fever scOurged Cuba annually.
Malaria was also frequent. and Ha-
vana had the reputation of being one
of the unhealthiest places In the
world.
In 1901 General Gorgas. then a
major, became sanitary officer mt Ha.
vana, and dealt so effectively with the
terrible plague that by 1910 not n
case had originated In the city. The
successful fight against the fever was
due to the remarkable discoveries by
American physicians that these dis
eases were transmitted by mosquitoes
The fight against yellow fever helped
to curb other epidemics.
Havana has generally been extraor-
dinarly prosperous. Under the harsh
Spanish rule, at time when only n
tenth OF the land In Cuba was culti-
waited. the island was able to pay
Spain between S2O,OOO.0OO and 100000
600 annually. The world shortage of
sugar has made this prosperity of the
past seem n small matter. Million.
aires have been made over night. the
Cubans having so much money and
entertaining so many millionaires from
America that Havana is not a good
place for a poor man to visit.

Crepe de Chine, Especially Brown.
The exodus to Southern resorts al
ways sees great many crepe de chine
dresses brought out, but this year
they have n new Significance, for they
are not only in the lighter colors but
In dark shades for street wear. This.
no doubt, is due TO the fact that Paris
has featured crepe de chine frocks
very largely during the late winte.
and spring. Particularly pretty are
those of brown. We do not, as a rule,
think of brown Us n spring color but
this season will see a great deal of it,
not only in these lighter silk fabrics,
but in brocades from which are fash
ioned more formal frocks. One is
amazed at the beauty of these new
brown tones; they are real achieve
ment in dyes.
Brown crepe de chine is used to de.
velop an interesting frock. 1t has
ever so many new and interesting fea-
lures apart from the coloring of its
fabric, which is light in tone-almost
on a beige shade. Ii is girdled with
n deep, rich brown velvet ribbon, the
ends being allowed to stand straight
out.
The dress is of chemise type, drawn
in tightly at the waist by the dark
brown belt few inches below the
.t,tIt 90. .l..I, a
tunics, one on either side. Another
youthful idea is carried out In the use
of white organdie and net guimpe
like the guimpe of n little girls frock
1t shows above the neckline of the silk
dress. which Is gathered. and its little
undersleeves peek from beneath very
short sleeves of silk. Attached TO
the guimpe is harem collar of or.
candle and net. This collar may be
considered by some rs an extreme fea.
ture. and for that reason it Is made
so that 1t may be easily detached.
Dots That Blend With White.
Dotted crepe de chine also plays a
prominent part in our new clothes.
While n frock made entirely of this
most effective when combined with
plain fabrics. II Is frequently used In
combination with plain white voile.
This summers organdies are In
beautiful shades; browns as well as
bright coral being among them. En-.
broidering organdle with wOrsted is
new idea In trimming. Loosely.
twisted yarn Is selected and the stitch
worked in such way as to give the
appearance OF the wool being split.
Skirts of organdie frocks are entirely
covered with this wool embroidery.
A bright coral orgnndie dress has
the waist made in the form of n tiny
shawl, to which, at either side Of the
front. buttons white lingerie vest,
extending below the waistline In apron
effect. This Is an elaborate vest, be.
ing completely covered with hand EN-
brOldery and drawnwork. II Is the
only trimming on the frock other than
tiny sash Of the material. This. In.
stead of being made double, rs such
sashes usually are. Is OF single piece
OF the organdle, bound on either side
with bias piece of the fabric. A
strip OF material treated in the same
way Is used for little bows and tied
about the sleeves. which nre so short
that they are little more than shoulder
caps.

"WHo'S LOoNEY NoW?"

Twenty-three years ago there was a
Woman Suffrage measure before the
North Carolina Legislature By sub
stantial majority, it was referred to
the Committee on Lunatic Asylums
On the Goth day of August last, the
| North Carolina Legislature passed a
| bill providing machinery for women
! voters in future elections Not that
the North Carolina Legislature has
changed its views on the woman stuff
rage question. 1t hasn't. 1t voted
heavily against woman suffrage only
| few days before it voted to create the
| necessary machinery for recording the
will of the women voters at the polls.
North Carolina merely bows to the in
evitable; that's all. And with char
acteristic North Carolina chivalry, it
was one of the bitterest of the anti
suffrage bitter-enders, Harry Grier,
who offered the bill comforting on
county authorities the power of ad-
hitting women voters to these ballot
box privileges which an amendment to
the Constitution of the United States
now confers upon them.
Thus the Old North State is able to
read it's title clear to consistency on
the one hand, and to chivalrous court
esy on the other. There is, of course,
nothing surprising in that. 1t is what
might have been expected Of the old
commonwealth. But there are still
certain questions remaining unanswer-
ed For instance, were the North Car
DINA legislators who voted to refer a
woman suffrage measure to the Com
mittee of Lunatic Asylums themselves
''looney," or, were the Legislators of
thirty-six States 'looney" when they
voted ratification of the woman suf
frage amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution?
And, again, how far was this pos
sible lunacy of the North Carolina Leg
islature twentythree years ago then
shared by the country at large? Here
is an interesting field for experts in
mass psychopathic afflictions-Har-
veys Weekly.

leges to be teachers are also quitting.
A recent study made by the National
Education association shows that N ore
THAN hundred thousand teaching po-
sitions in the public schools are now
vacant or filled by teachers below
standard.
And that the output OF normal
| schools and teacher training schools
shows a decrease of thirty per cent
in the last four years. The bureau of
education states that there will be at
! least hundred and ten thousand va
cancies in teaching positions in the
elementary schools of the country this
! coming school year, with only thirty
thousand graduates of teachertraining-
institutions to fill them. One-third of
the eighty-four thousand teachers now
in the high schools are reported as in
tending to leave their positions to en-
ter some other profession next year.
The greatest possible number Of new
eligibles for high school teaching is
eight thousand, so that nineteen thou
sand of the twenty-eight thousand va
cant positions cannot be filled by ade-
quately prepared teachers"
Seventeen hundred school superin-
tendents report that 52,79S teachers
resigned during the past year, or
twenty-five per cent of the total num-
Der of teachers under these superin
tendents. On that basis the number
of designations in the whole country
would be 143, 900. And in February of
this year, in the middle of the school
year, the bureau of education found |
that 1929 schools were closed be- |
cause they had no teachers.
A democracy must depend for sue
cess largely on the education and en-
lightenment of it's citizens That de-
ponds on the character of the public |
schools, which in turn depends upon
the teachers Anu the character of |
the teaching force must rest upon what
the country pays it teachers. 1t is
paying niggardly salaries, and the
teachers are quitting. These figures
point to a peril as grave as an enemy
invasion, and one that can be met on
y by putting teachers salaries up to
a decent level.-Duluth Herald.

THE SHAME OF TEACHERS
PAY.

Vernon Kellogg, writing in the
North American Review, sets forth {
picture of Americas valuation of edu
cation that is shocking and depressing
point of what America pays it's teach
ers, which is admittedly the most vul
nerable viewpoint from which to judge
the position of education in America
Though the situation has been fair
1y well adjusted in Duluth and some
other cities, in the country at large
the showing is nothing short of amaz-
ing. That America, which grudges it
self no Injuries, which absorbs pleas
ure cars faster than the factories can
produce them, which has made the mo-
Vies a multi-millionaire industry. and
which feeds and houses itself on high
er level than any other country on
earth, should yield such misery pay
to its educators as the average shows,
is appalling.
Mr.. Kellogg shows that in the school
year 191S-1919 ten per cent of the
teachers in 1872 cities scattered over
the country were paid less than $500
year, forty per cent less than $500,
seventytwo per cent less than $1,000,
1912 per cent less than $1,000, 98A per
cent less than $1,4OO, and ninety-nine
per cent less than $1,000.
Compare this with the wages paid
.workmen in almost any field of in
dustry.
Compare the earnings of those who
train children with the earnings of
those who train horses.
''Only four teachers in a thousand"
says Mr. Kellogg, supposedly the
chosen few of largest native ability,
broadcast education, highest culture and
most extended and comprehensive ex-
perience, were paid as much as fifteen
hundred dollars year, or $125 a
month
Inquiry among the 12S teachers in
one of the largest high schools in New
York city showed that eighty per cent
are forced to do something outside of
school hours to exc out their in
comes
The average salary of elementary
school teachers in the United States
in 1918 was $606, and of high school
teachers $1,031. ''The average salary
of teachers in New Zealand in 1918
was considerably over fifty per cent
more than in the United States, the
prideful land of the little red school
house,
"Slave labor" Mr.. Kellogg calls it:
and it deserves no better term. He
adds: 1--WE might say to the teach
ers: You are not really owned slaves
you are only slaves to your consci-
ence or inertia; you can quit if you
want to. They may not want to- but
they feel that they have to. So they
ARE quitting. And the students who
had begun preparing themselves in
the normal schools and teachers col

The most painless stretch of road
in Redwood County is so because of
the efforts of a certain Payne. Six
miles of road just west of the first turn
onto the Wabasso road are a sample
of what is possible in the way of road
building and upkeep, and they are as
they are because of the good workman
ship and excellent judgment of Sher-
man Payne who has this particular
section of the road under his immedi-
ate charge. Every wrinkle has been
ironed out, every chuck hole filled to
a smoothness past belief. even the
weeds have been cut, glory be, 1t
isn't necessary to take anyone's word
for this state of perfection. Every
car driver who has driven westward
this summer has learned for himself
through the force of contrast After
having bumped the ruts up to the Wa
basso corner, then slid along for six
miles, over glass-like smoothness
which terribly tempts driver to
step on err into another spasm of
roughness like unto the 1st, said driv-
er takes both hands form the wheel
to implore blessings upon real road
maker. What Mr.. Payne's methods
are we don't know, but we ven
ture to say that eternal vigilance
and hard work are part of the price
of his success. The road is monu-
ment to his worth as citizen of the
County. 1t has been suggested that in
some way Mr.. Payne's name should be
made known to the grateful users of
the road and the Gazette most heartily
agrees with this suggestion.
