DEMAND FOR PLAYlNG-cARDS
Manufacturers Report a Tremendous
Increase In Their Use, Mostly In
Private Families.

Inere mas be: Il tremendous in
crease In the use of plaAi.s cards in
private families within the last 20
years In this country, tile representa-
tive of big American card-manufac.
turing house says in the New York
Times. 1t may Sc ein strange; but it is
the private family that does most of
the using Of cards. The proportion of
playing-cards used In the big clubs is
small. There is an average of from
two to three packs of playing cards
used per family each year in the
United States, 1t is estimated, which
Is big percentage of the total.
Mems clubs absorb the higher-priced
cards, which are sold at prices vary
ing, according to the club, from 81 to
$1.50 or 81 per pack. The government
tax on cards since 1917, which was
raised last year to 8 cents per pack,
with increased cost of production, has
practically driven the cheaper cards
out of the market, and business has
gone to the higher grades, which re-
tail at from 80 to rs cents. The in
creased playing of bridge has brought
Into vogue the narrower card, which is
more graceful in shape smaller and a
little less bulky.
The bulk of the cards sold have q
simple standard design for the back
Among those the best liked in the
better class are the ones with the fine
steel-engraved or "banknote" back, en-
sraved with the lathework design.
These come in the four eolors and now
have a linen-finish face.

NEW. GUINEA f,EAD-HUNTERS
Periodical Forays Were Unx:l Gem
paratiVely Recently Regular
Thing in the Island.

Until six years ago head-hunting was
In full swing along the coast of New
Guinea, writes Rev. E. Cappers in
Catholic Missions, and describes ont
Of these expeditions by the tribe O;
the Marind-anim or Kaya- Kayas. TIL,
practice, he says. has been consider.
'bly checked by military expeditions.
Nevertheless head-hunting is still quite
frequent In the interior On the ap-
pointed day men, women and children
would hasten to the point of embarka-
tiOn. At the approach of their goal
the boats were anchored, and the en-
tire party stealthily entered the forest,
taking care not to give the alarm.
Extra care was needed once the de.
signated spot had been reached. On
.he day before the attack the hunters
Kept hidden In the bush, and during
the night they advanced far enough
TO launch the attack early before dawn.
Occasionally, the hunters were hotly
received, but most of the time the in
tended victims were reused from their
sleep by the sudden war-cry Of the
whole attacking party, and had no
time to defend themselves. Victims
were felled by the dozen, many OF
them pierced through by the sharp
pointed arrows.
The victors yelled their war-cry and
epaired to their native haunts, where
days and nights of feasting awaited
them with song and dance, around the
gruesome trophy.

ing as B grade. For A grade rating
Physics or Chemistry equipment will
have to be installed in addition.
The state board of education re-
quires two written examinations a
year one at the end of the fall
term and the other at the end Of the
Spring term. Mr.. Hunter has been
giving three examinations year
which makes it very difficult to ad-
just to the requirements of the state
board. l suggest to Mr.. Hunter that
he change and that he also keep the
permanent high school record fur
nished by the state department of
education. The home economic
equipment at Gleason is rather mea-
ger and should be enlarged to meet
the requirements.
The Sharon school find to be in
very good condition, though short in
laboratory equipment. have placed
this school in the first class, B
grade. With the addition Of COM
paratively small amount of laboratory
equipment | can grade this school
A.
The high school building at Martin
is the only building, of the four
schools that l inspected, that is ade-
uuate for the accommodation of the
high school. 1t is in excellent condi
ton, and this school can easily quail
fy Tor an A grade rating as soon as
the necessary laboratory equipment
is installed in the rooms provided.
The organization and schedule Of
work are not in conformity with the
requirements Of the state Board OF
education, but this was satisfactorily
explained to me by Mr.. Smith, who
assured me that his courses of study
would be adjusted, as soon as posi-
BILE, to the requirements of the law
and the State Board of Education
for first class, A grade high school.
l hope you will urge your board to
install the equipment at Martin by
opening of the spring term, so that
YOUR county could at least have one
standard school when the next bull
letin is published containing list OF
the first class high schools OF the
state.
Yours very truly,

There is Vigor
in Rich Blood
Pepto-Mangan in
Liquid or Tablets
"a Blood Builder

Vigor and strength have as their
base rich red blood. Blood is rich
when there are plenty of red corpus
Giles. They are the tiny red cells
which swim in blood and give it its
color. Without red corpuscles blood
would be white. When overwork, or
straining, or illness weaknens the
blood, it diminishes the number of
red cells. Without a sufficient num-
Der of red cells the blood becomes
watery, the body weak. Vigor and
strength fall off, so that physical
life drminishes like a fading plant.
The physical pleasures of eating and
sleeping and exercise lose all at
traction. There is no zest in living.
After GUIDES epto-Mangan has
been taken for while the blood be-
comes rich with red cells. They help
to noruish the entire system. With
good blood at work there is great
difference in living. Eating, sleep
ing and exercise are enjoyed. All
druggists sell GUIDES -Mangan.

Supt. F. Y. Fuqua,

Supt. F. Y. Fuqua,
Dresden, Tenn.
Dear Supt. Fuqua This letter is
to inform you of the results of my
inspection of your high schools at
Dresden, Gleason, Sharon and Mar
tin this week. You may use the in
formation herewith in any way you
think best.
i In the first place, l want to con-
graduate you on the good work you
have been doing and are now doing
in the interest Of the schools of Weak
ley county. wish that all the coun-
ties of the state were in as good con-
dition educationally as your county
is.
Though your schools have made
much progress and are doing good
work, there is yet much that
ought to be done for your high
schools before they can be approved
as standard, A-grade high schools.
The school at Dresden overcrowd-
ed and desperately in need of labo-
ratory equipment. Though Prof.
Chunn and his teachers are doing
good work under very adverse con-
ditions, they cannot do themselves
or the pupils justice on account OF
the crowded condition and the lack
of equipment. l regret that can
not approve this school as first
class high school for two reasons.
First, the law requires three full
time high school teachers for every
first class high school, and this
school has only one full-time and
two part-time high school teachers
the equivalent Of two full-tlme
teachers. The best rating | can give
the school is second class, A grade
with fourteen units of credit. Six
teen units, as you know, are resuir-
ed for graduation, so the students
that finish the course in this school
will be entitled only to a statement
Of credits and not a high school di-
ploma.
The number Of students in this
school will justify the employment
of three teachers, and suggest that
your board put on another teacher
for high school work for the rest of
this year, and | can give the school
provisional recognition until the end
of the year. This would entitle the
students taking the Latin course to
diplomas this year. However, in or
der to retain the first class rating,
laboratory equipment and more room
would have to be provided by the
opening of the school next year. In
justice to the students VINO are dolng
fourth-year work l think provision
should be made Immediately to take
care of them as suggested.
The school at Gleason has three
full-time teachers but is without
Science equipment and an adequate
library. There are three teachers
giving their full time to high school
work in this school, though the num-
Der of pupils enrolled here is nine
less than the number in the Dresden
school. No attempt is being made to
teach Science, but l have approved
it as first class, C grade, on condi-
ton that Science equipment be in
stalled by next year for Biology and
Agriculture. This will give it a rat
