City With Highest Percent
Witeracy Leads To Improve

NEW BEDFORD. MASS. Dee 81
Federal census fgures show that this
city's percentage OF III of illiteracy
among persons 10 years OF age aud
over is the highest OF any city of 100,-
600 population in the country. but the
state supervisor OF Americanization is
authority for the statement that no
city in Massachusetts is doing 50 much
for the nation through the education
of the population from other lands.
The illiteracy percentage for the state
as a whole is only AZ and the city
long since accepted the situation as a
challenge to effort.
For thirty years and more immi-
grant population has been rolling into
New Bedford in a degree unparalleled
IN almost any other part OF the coun-
try. Virtually half the present popu-
lation was horn in foreign lands. with
more than half that part OF the popu-
lation having its origin in non-English
speaking countries.
New Bedford has from a day ante
dating compulsory evening school leg
isiation maintained evening schools; ;
but 1t did not make persua siye effort
to draw in the adult population until
the World War aroused the nation 10
the need of assimilation of the foreign
born. The initial movement for reach
ing the problem of adult illiteracy was
made by the Y. NJ. c. A. Industrial De-
partment. which organized early in
the war many study classes within in
dustrial plants. Then the state pro-
vided for cooperation with local COM
munities and the city was one OF the
first TO accept the conditions of pro-
viding supervisor Characterization
throughout elementary study classes
in English for adults, and to strengthen
its evening schools by making a parti-
cular appeal for citizenship through
classes for preparation for naturaliza-
ton. At the very beginning of the war
the school department employed a
held agent to work up this department
through addresses III the foreign
speaking clubs and in other ways. so
Shaca good start had already been made
thefore the states action. Other agencies
lsof influence have been at work also
The state maintains here a ranch OF
the State Division of immigration and
Americanization, and it has been active
in putting newcomers into the evening
within the industries.
For the children who come from for
eign lands the Evening Standard medal
for proficiency if English was accept

annually awarded TO children of non

WRITERS DFNOUNCF
 INSULT 10 SOUTH

Little Rock, Aug. 13.-Led by the Arkansas Writer, literary maga- zine publised at Little Rock, the press of the south has undertaken to con- demn in the most vigorous language the triade that has been directed against the south, it's people and it's institutions by H. L. Mencken, editor and publisher of the Smart Set a New York magazine. His article, captioned "The South Begins to Nut ter" is being bitterly denounced by the press and it is expected that the campaign of denunciation will spread to the pulpit which he has slandered and patriotic organizations he has traduced. The people of Arkansas and the entire south resent his gra- tious insults, and refuse to stand si- lently by while he continues to abuse his betters It has been suggested by some that it were better to ignore his vile muothings, since he will prof it by the publicity given him and one editor suggests that it would be better to let him stew his owr juice" There is nothing in the south too sacred, too respectable or toe firmly established in love and ven eration of our people which he hesi- tates to islander, insult and desecrate
 His vituperative rantings have been brought to the attention of mem bers of congress and some of the south's most eminent writers and il is predicted that they will give full account of themselves in their oper- ations against Herr Hencken. If hi; stismatic intellect can glean any sat isfaction out of the verbal trouncing coming his way, he is welcome to it.

o, Western Newspaper Union. DUEL WITH AN ENCLISHMAN

One of the greatest of the oid-ume mountain men In western history was William T. Hamilton, or "Old Bill' Hamilton as he was known In the parly days in Montana. His strange auel with an Englishman Is historic. Old Bill had offended the Englishman n some way, and the Britisher chal- Ienged him to a duel.
 All right; I'll fight you!" said Old Bill. But I get to name the weap- pms and rules for the fight"
 The Englishman agreed, and this s what Hamilton decided: Each man was to strip to the skin, go out to the Yellowstone river, and with an ax ehop hole in the ice. Then the two men were to get down in these holes and sit In the water up to their shoul- aers. The first to leave this icy bath xas the loser.
 The contest began. The Englishman stood it for few minutes. Then with a wild yell he leaped out and with his teeth chattering, ran for a house and stove as fast as he could Old Bill followed close on his heels calling the shiverlng Britisher every name in his vocabulary. Old Bill was declared winner of the duel. It had oeen no hardship for Hamilton. He dad lived among the Indians and was as hardy as they. He Is said to have been the only white man of his time who could strip naked, take bow and arrows and shoot buffalo from horse back as well as the savages, with whom he lived.
 Hamilton finally settledI down nt Fort Benton, Mont, where he opened a log cabin hotel and q butcher shop. The governor of Montana appointed him sheriff of Choteau county. and he was also a deputy United States mar ,hal. In 1865 the governor asked him .o visit the Crow and Gros Ventre h. Hans and persuade them to come in to Fort Benton to make peace.
 'But how can l go?" said old Bill. I have to look after my eatin' house md butcher shop and tend to my duties IS sheriff and marshal. I've got two prisoners on hand now and no jail to feep 'em in."
 Finally he consented and, accom- panied only by an Indian boy, he made he dangerous trip. After a series of excitina adventures he returned In 'afety, bringing the two tribes with Jim to the council.
 Old Bill died In 1908 at the age of ,ighty-six. He was always proud of he fact that he had been a scout for he United States army, and to the day of his death he kept the Stars and Stripes floating over the little log nbin where he lived.

Numerous and severe burns were sustained last night by Smoky Smith, local athlete, when he used lantern to discover the source of a gasoline leak in the Chevrolet roadster driven by Dr. J. M Muse The car went dead some miles south of Conway and Smith undertook to find the leak. He found it and had it stopped with his finger when he called for light to further his in- vestigation. A lantern was handed him and the first result was an ex- plosion of gasoline. Both of Smith s arms were burned, and the car much damaged. Smith was given imme. diate treatment and his right arm bandaged above the elbow.

ASPHALT APPLIED
 ON Y|LON|A ROAD

The first asphalt surface to be ap- piled on any of the three road dis tricts in this county was applied this morning at the East Oak street ter minus of the Nilonia road, before a crowd which quickly gathered to wit ness the event. At the city terminus of the road, 900 yards of the top course of rock had been placed and prepared for the asphalt crew.
 Some delay was experienced when the crew of the Hogan Construction Con- pany, asphalt contractors for the three districts, started work. The first asphalt laid was not up to the speci- ications of l 1-4 gallons, and the truck was backed off for adjustment. A thin course of rock was laid off the surface given asphalt treatment, so that the truck could be sent over the same ground. After adjustments, the machine worked smoothly.
 One small boy wishing to test out the quality of the asphalt stuck his foot into the surface of the road. He found out then that asphalt is applied at temperature of 300 degrees or bet ter and does not cool readily.
 The asphalting machine used by the Hogan Company has tank and dis tributor mounted upon a large Pack. ard truck. A separate motor mount ed at the rear of the truck supplies the compressed air which forces the asphalt mixture from the tank and through the distributor to the surface of the road. It also keeps the asphalt stirred while in the tank.
