matter could be brought up and in
vestigated at any time. If such a move
were made, it was contended. specific
instances of disfranchisement would
have to be cited before an inquiry
could be undertaken.

PRESENTS SHELL
TO BARGE CLUB
Built in 1869, Craft Has Been in Con-
tinuous Use Since.
(ey The Associated Press.)

PHILADELPHIA, April "a four
Dared shell. in which two worlds
rowing championships and a number
Of national championships were won,
has just been presented to Philadel-
phia Barge Club by Ellis +. Ward,
former rowing coach OF the University
of Pennsylvania.
Built in 1869. the thin cedar craft
has been in continuous use up until
two years ago and is still in good
condition and though a little narrow,
has been used as a model by boat
builders in this country for years. 1t is
~ feet long.
Originally the shell was built for
an English crew. the Renforths, who
rowed against the Paris crew of St.
Johns. New Brunswick. for the worlds
championship. This was the first
race I'm which the shell was used, and
the English crew won The boat was
named the "Dunstan on Tyne.
Shortly afterward the shell was
purchased by the mayor of Pitts
burgh as a souvenir
In 1871 another match race was ar
ranged for the championship OF tho
world, 10 be held at Saratoga Lake.
Ellis Ward and his three brothers
had gained the reputation of being the
best American blade welders. but were
without a shell. They ordered a new
boat from Robert Jewett, of England,
who built the "Dunstan on Tyne" but
ne disappointed them. Shortly after
ward they received a telegram from
the mayor of Pittsburgh offering 10
sell them the "Dunstan on Tyne.
The Wards accepted. They found the
boat marrow and hard to set up,
but they soon mastered 1t.
The race rowed over a fourth mile
course, and the Wards won, setting
new record of "a minutes, 40 seconds,
which still stands. They defeated
two English an dthree American
crews. The Ward crew was seated
as follows: Ellis Ward, bow, $50 lbs;
Gilbert Ward, 2, los pounds; Josh

was 3c1-2 years, Ellis being rs while

CHIPLEY FORMS
WOMAN'S CLUB

CHIPLEY, April 9.-Mrs. R. D. Reed
of Milton visited our city during the
past few days and addressed the ladies
Of the city with a view of organizing
a woman's club. She made a very
interesting as well as instructive talk
outlining the purposes and object Of
the orga nization, and urged the ladies
to project an organization.
AS result, strong club of "a mem
bers is organized, with Mrs. w. C.
Jockey, one of the most prominent and
jealous workers for any and every
thing tending to develop the city and
community as president and with
Mrs. F. B. Galloway, vice-president;
Mrs. E. H. Hale, recording secretary;
Miss Marian Campbell, treasurer, and
Miss Lucy Daniel, corresponding sec
rotary, all of whom are active pro-
gressive ladies of the city. Under
their guidance much good will result
to the city and community.
Mrs. William Seasons, state chair
man Of the music department of the
state organization. was present at the
organization of the local club, and
made a very entertaining talk on
music. She is a believer on teaching
music in the public schools of the
state, and any one having the pleas
ure of hearing her will be convinced
that she is correct, and that the teach
ing Of the art of singing in the schools
of the state will have a great influence
for good. It is believed that some pre-
gressive legislator will take up her
idea and write it into the laws of the
state.

LARGE MEMBERSHIP
IS TOO UNWIELDY
Five Hundred Members Enough for
Ideal Liberal Arts College.

BOSTON, Mass, April 9.-When a
liberal arts college reaches an enrol
ment OF 500 it ought to stop and or
ganize a new college unit with a sep
arate faculty, and a dean indepen-
dent Of the other, is the opinion of
President II. Murlin of Boston Uni
versity. His statement was made in
connection with the action of several
colleges in limiting the number of stud
ents.
my conception of the ideal liberal
arts college is one having a faculty
OF so and a student body of not more
than 500" said President Murlin,
when the members exceed thesise
the organization is too large and it
would be better to divide into units.
Separate colleges ought to be estab-

deans acting Independently of each
other
such a development which savors

come widespread in this country
however although few American
universities are tending towards the
English tutorial system.
This theory does not apply to the
colleges of commerce or business ad-
ministration which have different
problems than do the liberal arts col
leges."
The tendency toward great increase
in student enrolment is practically
over, in President Murlin's opinion.

Murlin. 1t is doubtful If the enroll

normal increase in the entering class

THE abnormal increases in enroll
ment during the past three years
have been due to the delay caused in
the education of hundreds OF young
men by the war and the general pros
perity. Then too, the efficiency of
the college graduate in the war has
caused a widespread appreciation of
the benefits of college education.

NATIONAL SYSTEM

TRENTON, N. j., April 9.-Instal-
~Iation OF a national system of color
signals for the control of motor traf-

similar to the standardized use of red
yellow and green in railroad systems
is suggested by highway officials of
New Jersey. who have approved a
bill for adoption of that plan in that
state.
The bill which contains measures
approved by the Committee of Stand
ards of the American Association of
State Highway officials, would have
red signs TO indicate first degree dan
ger such as railroad crossings, dead
ends OF roads. or lift bridges: yellow
indicating second degree danger at
curves or grades, and green showing
moving or traffic danger only to he

SOWING TU7NIPS TO
 FOLLOW VEGETABLES
No Better Crop to Utilize Vacant
 Spaces in Gardens,
They Are Useful for the Table, and to a Limited Extent Will Supply Place of Potstoes-Reasona-
 bly, Rich Soil Needed.

(Prepared by the Omit G States Depart
 mcEt of AIlicuIt t'r)
 As a crop to utilize garden space after early vegetables have been har- vested, nothing is better than turnips. Turnips shOuid be planted in most parts of the country about July %, but in the extreme South as late as the last of August and can be left in the ground until after several light frosts or all winter In the South. They are useful as a table vegetable, and to a limited extent, will supply the place Of potatoes. It is the general opinion of specialists of the United States De partment of Agriculture that the American public could consume many more turnips than it does, a fact sf particular interest this year when there seems every indication Of e eur tailed potato crop.
 For field sowing, turnips are usually broadcasted. The particular require ment Is a reasonably rich soil finely naked and leveled off 10 avoid water collecting in pools. The seed should be sowed sparingly. One homely rule Is to take the quantity which seems sufficient and divide it in half. After the seeds have been scattered on tho surface of the ground, they should be raked in. This may be done by drag ging a piece of brush over the ground. The surface should be we'll smoothed. It Is a good plan to SOW turnips just after a rain, giving them opportunity to sprout before crust forms. Alter sowing, they will need little attention until harvest.

number, by forcing them into idle ness.
 It is an obvious fact that no single influence is more important in re- tarding the recovery of industry than the high forfeit charges which have been adopted fo the purpose of enabling the railroad companies to meet the wage-increases, aggre- gatiug more than 100 per cent, which hovo bacn granted since the begi1- ning of the war. The effect is vastly more serious because of the fall of prices, as freight charges have be- come a much larger percentage of the Val.e If the products than they were before.
 The necessity for fair returns upon capital and fair wages for employees can hardly be the subject of argu- ment, but how is the public to deter mine what is fair in both of hese cases? Obviously it must be done through some public agency-a body of men representing the public. It IS necessary to have organization governmental order to carry out all social aims, and to put confidence in the agencies of government and sustain them. They are not infai- lible, and they ae answerable to the public for the manner in which they discharge their responsibilities, but criticism of them should be well-in- formed and directed to specific faults of administration. It is a symptom of social incompetency for people to raise a great outcry against a court or an administrative body tions run counter to what is popu- larly desired at the time. It is like the outcry of schoolboys against an umpire.
 Two such Boards have been estab- lished to deal with the railroads and railroad employes-one the Inter state Commerce Commission and the other the Railroad Labor Board.
 In 1913 because of the differences of opinion existing about the actual value of the railroad property, Con- gress directed the Interstate Com merce to undertake a detailed sur vey and valuation. It proceeded to organize q subodinate body of "n- gineers, accountants, etc., for the purpose ani up to June 30, 1920, ap- , proximat2ly $61,349,41O had been eXpenCe4 vn the work, now fi~ >l- vance The data thus gathered .~ea taken 1E he Commission as h3 baalI c IT, tentative valuati -~ quircC b% sAe Esch-Commins ocD t aac Id be understood that toi3 vel. -..--.

The railroad problem at this time dominates the entire business sit)la- tion. The burden of increased freight charges upon all kinds of industry, the plight of railroad finances, the efforts of railroad managers to re- duce operating expenses, the lmpend- ing railroad strike, the test of the efficacy of the new Railroad Labor Board as an agency of conciliatlon, and the demand in some quarters for the repeal of the Esch-Cummins law, are the outstanding features of the day, and present questions of the utmost importance.
 Unfortunately the labor organiza- tions have been unable to see that the market for their services no long CT exists at the old rates of pay, and that it was not only just to the great agricultural population that wages in the other industries should be re- duced, but for the best interests of the wage-earning population itself.
 They do not see that the economic law already has forced a great re- duction of actual wage-payments, which is what really counts. It means nothing to the wage-earners to have the rates high if there is no work to be had, or work only part time.
 MT. Lee, head of one of the rail road brotherhoods. has given out statement in which as an argument against wage reductions in the rail road service, he says:
 There are thousands of these men out of wok, many of whom have as high as fifteen yeas service, because there is no need for them, while thousands of others have to try to live on a few days month, which is all the railway service requires from them. Let it be understood that no transportation wages are paid unless the time is made.
 A similar argument is offered in behalf of very high wage rates for coal miners. It is said tha while the rates are high the miners have work only part time, and on the average make only very moderate wages.
 These arguments fail to recognize that it is impossible to restore pros perity on the basis of double pay for half time work. The people cannot be supplied with the comforts to which they are accustomed by half time production.
 In discussing the wage situation it is important to bear in mind that many groups of wage-earners have exhibited conciliatory spirit and have accepted very considerable re- auctions, but there are other groups who have not done so. The latte accept the benefits of reductions else where but refuse to reciprocate, and their mistaken action inficts hard ships upon the entire community, not excepting thousands of their own
