Education Week Talk
Four-Minute Speech Of DIR. Kate
Waller Barrett At Richmond
Theatre Tuesday

There is no more valuable asset
to a community than a large body OF
intelligert and discriminating readers
The time to form correct reading
habits is in childhood. This is Ed
ucation Week" and we 1n ARE q an do
YOUR part in making this week tell
in lasting influences for education
by assisting in the establishment Of
school libraries. The Board of Ed
ucation has been as generous as is
possible, supplying the High School
and Teaching Courses but the first,
second and third grades are unpro-
vided for. The cost of proper selec-
lions for these grades will amount to
about S40O. The Chamber of Com
merce and other local bodies already
have subscribed and it is up to you
and your associates as to whether or
not the complete quota is raised.

DR.. Tyau Says China Can Only
Win Rights By Arms

Washington, Dec. CDR. Philip K.
&C. Tyau, Chinese minister to Cuba
and secretary-general to the Chinese
delegation at Washington, VINO re-
signed the latter position today, sees
a storm gathering in China.
"The only thing left for US TO do"
he said today, "is to tell our people
that there is no hope of obtaining
justice and right while we are weak,
that we must reorganize our army,
bring it up to Western standard and
be prepared to get our rights by force.

| thought thsA~t last China would
get hearing and that robbery and
spolation would be stopped. T. did
not expect that the things we had
signed away by treaty would be CIV
en- back to us at once, but I did ex-
pect that in the matter of foreign
troops, foreign police, foreign post
offices, foreign leases, obtained I'M
der the 81 demands which we never
recognized, that we would receive the
active help of the other nations, par
ticuiarly America.
"The newspapers seem to regard
what has been done as a victory for
China. 1t is hollow one. In the
tariff we have been robbed of at least
S300,000,000. We ask the right to
double the present 5 per cent. ad
valorem rate, which is really only 5
per cent. effective. There is an offer
of 7 1-2 per cent, and even this is
held up by Japan.

purchasing power. We offer to YOU
all of China for trade. We ask you

Jewish Relief Campaign
A Proclamation by the Gorernor OF
Virginia.

Virginia.
Whereas, Though three years have
passed since the first Armissice Day
brought the great world conflict to
an end, the terrible effects of the war
are not yet over. While we still! feel
them in America, their ravages are
far greater among the peoples OF Eu-
rope. Of all these, none has sui
fere,l more than tie Jewish people.
BY reason of peculiar conditions, they
are ground again and again between
the millstones of opposing armies.
And after the armies, even worse, the
MODS and guerilla forces preyed upon
them, looting, ravishing, massacring,
without stint or pity. There are
countless refugees huddled in camps
or starving and freezing on roads or
in fields, manned men and women,
helpless orphans and widows,-where
only help can come from relatives
and friends in America. The Jewish
people have done nobly for their own,
but the burden has now become too
great for them to bear alone and
Whereas, the American Jewish Re-
lief Committee for sufferers from the
war has found that the sum of Sl4,-
100000 is the absolute minimum that
will be needed to help these unfor-
tunate to survive the winter, and it
is entering upon campaign to raise
this sum in the United States-The
quota for Virginia is slightly over
Therefore, I, Westmoreland Davis,
governor: of Virginia, do hereby most
heartily commend to the people of
Virginia this great work for human

BEGCAR POLICIES OF RAILROADS HIT
 SNAC IN SENATE

Washington, Oct. 2I.-The beggar policy of railroads, which are con tinually whining for financial re- lief, has struck snag in the senate.
 The roads want the United States war finance corporation to hand them $500, 100000 in payment for government debts. The roads owe the government more than this amount, but instead of balancing the debt, the roads will be paid while the government will not be paid for a term of years. The administration favors the plan, and the President has urged congress to empower the war finance corporation to take this action.
 Things have been coming so easy for the roads in their treasury raids that they are not satisfied with $500, 100000. They now demand that the bill be amended so they can sue the government for millions of dol lars damages on the ground that la bor was inefficient during the war.
 No one accuses the roads of lack of nerve when it comes to raidlng the peoples purse, but their latest demand staggers some advocates of the original plan, who are having their troubles interesting senators in the half-billon hand-out.
 Cool headed friends of the railroad finanCicrS are urging them to be more cautious. or they will lose the main prize

THE PALACE

An outstanding feature of the Gold wynn production For Those We Love-" the screen offering at the Pal acc fo Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, is the presence in the cast of the two brilliant stars of The Miracle Man." Betty Compson and Lon Clancy. Miss Compson, as the simple country girl, too unsophlstl- cated to know the world and it's dangers, and Lon Clancy as an un- principled gambler, place the two leading characters of the story in the most capable hands imaginable. For Those We Love" is the story of a girls intuition in finding and bringing out the good qualities III man whose entire life has been spent in following the easiest way to obtain a questionable livelihood. Her abso- lute trust in "Trix Ulner," played by Lon Clancy, brings about the recgen- eration of this notosious character, and at the same time causes him the keenest suffering he has ever been called upon to bear.
 An ideal diversity of screen enter tainment is afforded i'll the two fine Sunday evening. The first of these is Madge Kennedy in "Oh, Mary Be Careful" visualizing George Weston's successful novel.

The title of the pie ture is After Your Own Heart" and Mix personally supervised the direction going back to his good old days on the range for some new stunas The action is laid in a country where disputes are many and are adjusted only after strenu- ous conflict. An old water hole between two ranches Is the pivotal point and form the dispute over this water hole Mix has Waven as stirring a western picture as has ever reached the serene. Incidently the author has put into the story one of his theories about how ranches will be run in the future, using an airplane to help in the round up and autos used by the cowboys. On the same program Sunday night Manager Men ges will offer a Holman Day story, a comedy and other features with a special reel showing the big scenes and incl dents of the Gale-Army game at the Yale Bowl. Within twenty four hours after the game is played an entire reel will be shown at the Bijou which is certainly an evidence of progressiveness.
 In addition to the Tom Mix picture and the Yale-Army reel the first three days of the week there will be what looks to be the best vaudeville bill ever played at the Bijou. The headline attraction will offer Herbert Corthell the famous comedy star of musical comedy and last seen here in Tumble Inn" and Canary Cottage. Corthell has proved himself with a great company of players inClud ing Fred and Rose Flynn, Annabelle Dennison, Theodora Warheld, Eythel Lawrence.

BLANTON CALLED
 LIAR IN CONGRESS
 FOR LABOR ATTACK
Punch on Nose for Insults.

Washington, Oct. 2I.-The house was thrown into an uproar this week during heated dell Ute on the railroad situation when Representative Burke republican, Pennsylvania, a former railroad man, called Representative Blanton, democrat, Texas, who had just concluded a bitter attack on the railroad brotherhoods, "A d- liar.
 MT. F/lrke charged that MT. Blan- ton during his remarks had made false statements.
 The Texas member leapcd to his feet and denying lie had stated a falsehood shouted: "You're loar This brou'gh the retort: "Iou're a d- liar," from MT. Burke.
 The two men moved toward each other as other members rushed up to restrain thes,. Dtring the confusion "You'rc dirty dog" Both represen- tatives later asked to have their re- marks eXpunged from the record and order was restored.
 Blanton during his speech charged that the railroad employees were pre- pairing for "a war to the teeth and to death," while members of congress 'sit here like bunch of ninnies.".
 "We ought to tell them," he shout ed, "Wa1k out if you want to, but there are three million men ready to take your, jobs and you won't have any when you are ready to cpne back to work ''
 Asserting that the country will think we are a bunch of towards, afraid to do our duty," MT. Blanton declared that President Harding won't truckle-he will show the men where to head in"
 MT. Burke, formerly an active mem Der of the Conductors Brotherhood, took exception especially to figures quoted by MT. Blanton as represent ing the monthly wages of railroad workers and in this connection charged the Texas member with mak- ing false statements. He also de- nied MT.

COUNCIL ENDORSES MURPHY TO AGAIN
 HEAD ALDERMEN
Stories That He Was to Be Deposed Met With Prompt Action by
 Labor Body.

board of aldermen, who is also busi,, ness agent for the CigarmakerS union. was endorsed for reelection as head of the aldermanic body by the New Haven Trades Council last night. MT. Murphy has been preSl- dent of the aldermen for the past tour wears and has made a capable and Conscientious official and therefore the Council desires his retention Ill the office,
 While the Trades Council does not ordinarily take an official and active part in such matters, under the pro cram that it is more or less of par tisan matter to be decided by the party in power in city affairs, yet stories that a concerted attempt to defeat MT Murphy for. re-electlon have been going around ana the Council last night decided that II could properly give him It's enoorSe- ment MT. Murphy IS delegate rom the Cigarmakers union to the COull- cil and therefore member ana aions that line also the endorsement was given.
 The opposition to MT. Murphy IS not considered among political lead CTS in his party to be very serious and is said to be based upon h!s activity in the recent democratic party fight for the registrarshlp: Leaders of the Cahill faction, who were reported to be sponsoring the ao;tation against him, deny any such move or motive and therefore With the Councils endorsement, 1t IS eH- pected he will be reelected to agaln preside over the city's Legislative bodv

also, judging from their votes and their attitude since the railroad man. agers decided on further wage slash ing.
 Advices from Washington today state that the government Is yet hope ful of averting the trouble even though the conference at Chicago failed in bringing about compro- mise or d delay As was expected
 when the Chicago conference failed, the failure was blamed on the rail- road brotherhod chiefs. The labor chiefs held to their position that the declarations of the managers had
 made the issue fight for the lives of the labor organizations and that therefore until this deh was removed the men could do nothing but carry out the strike ballot and go out on the dates set.
 Stories circulated over the country that the brotherhoods are divided on the strike order, do not apparently prove true of the New Haven lines for here, although the swltchmen who went out a year ago were order ed back and some hard feeling was aroused, these same yardmen now feel that they, too, are as deep in the
  with them. Dispatchers, whose gen eral organization has not yet voted with the others, will probably join if a strike is ordered as they would be left alone and with inexperienced men running trains would have job that would within a short time shat ter their nervous systems and lead to an early retirement.
 The general feeling prevails, how ever, that if the strike is carried out 1t will not last more than day or two. Precautions have already been taken here by the workers to cause
 as little inconvenience as possible to
 the general public The warning given the public was long enough to permit them to provide for a tie up of service for some time. The rail road men themselves have been thus preparing and with the notice given
 the rest of the people there is little
 reason to fear they haven't been do- ing so also.
