PAPER GARMENTS
 THAT SHED WATER

Suppose the case of lady caught in shower while wearing new spring hat. Most lamentable. What, then, shall she do?
 She will run for shelter. Bnt there may be no shelter at hand However, of provided with hat pro- teetor such as that newly invented by a New Yorker, Frank w. Howard, she need have no fear of raindrops.
 The contrivance in question is mex pensive, being made of waterproof paper It opens out into sort of tent to cover the head, and is fast ened by string beneath the chin of the wearer.
 This, however, is by no means all. The hat protector is designed to con- tain rain canc That is to say, it serves when eoioed as an envelope for rain cape, winch may likewise be of waterproof paper.
 The inventor suggests that a con- trivanee of this kind might be kept ready for sale in public places. The whole affair makes a neat, flat pack age of small size. One undoes the string which ties the package, uses the outer wrapper as hat protector and puts the rain cape over the shoul- ders. Pasteboard buttons help in ty- ing the package securely, and are also useful for adjusting the rain proof head covering and the water. proof cape. Equipped with one, ths inventor says, hats are protected.

POOR LITTLE RICH KIDS
 NEED HELPING HAND
They Get Too Much to Eat and Not Enough Exercise, According to
 Chicago Expert.

Chicago, June 12.-Woeful condi- tions exist among the poor little rich children of the Gold Coast Aristocracy according to Dr. Caroline Hedger, di- rector of the Infant Welfare Society.
 Elaborate attention has been paid the children of the slums and the poor districts of the city until they have visiting nurses, free ice, mllk of yhe best quality, play grounds, swimming and wading pools and schools equipped with every modern convenience. The children of the rich were left to shift for themselves, the idea being that they had every thing they desired or needed.
 Dr. Hedger says, however, that Tn one exclusive Northside school 50 per cent of the pupils were of subnormal weight and more than half of these are seven per cent under the correct weight.
 By way of comparison, sthe chil- dren "back of the yards," that wild, free domain which thrive on the rodu lent odors of the stock yards and the rare perfume eminating from Bubby creek are fat and sassy" Only IS per cent of the children in this dis trict are under weight. In the tene- ment districts on the lower Northside but one child in six is underweight. Miss Sarah B. Place, superintend- ent of the Welfare Society, says chll- dren of the wealthy people are fed too much rich food Their exercise is confined to riding in limousines, whereas they should be permitted and encouraged to get out and romp, swim, play all sorts of games, sat simple food and plenty of it and get long hours of sleep.

 TEN COMMANDMENTS UN- KNOWN TO 351 PUPILS

New York, June 13.--District At torney Lewis, speaking before the South Congregational Church, Brook lyn, told of a recent test in a Brooklyn public school, made at his request, to ascertain how many of the pupils knew the ten commandments.
 Out of the 1873 children questioned 499 did not know the commandments and 351 had never heard of them. Asked to repeat the commandments some of the pupils gave these answers:
 The first commandment is not to shoot craps.
 Don't marry
 Do not make love to your neighbor's wife.
 There shall be light.
 The ten commandments were the ten amendments to the constitution.
 Children must keep off the steps of street cars.
 Not to swear for anything.
 Don't hitch on wagons.
 Don't crook anything.
 Love thy neighbours wife.
 Don't swindle.
 There shall be water.
 Mir. Lewis declined to give the num- Der of the school in which the test was made, but he declared it illustrated the need of some sort of moral and relig- ious training for these children.

STATE LEADERS MAKE
 PLEAS FOR BETTER SCHOOLS
Would Give Every Boy and Girl in Ar kansas Real Chance for an
 Education.

Fayetteville, Ark, June l3.--Strong pleas for adequate financial support to the rural schools of Arkansas were made by Governor McRae and John C.. Futrall, president of the University of Arkansas, who were the principal speakers at the alumni banquet here today
 'sIn the 49 years of the university's existence, 10000 students have gone thru it's doors for the betterment of the state," President Futrall said.
 sIts development has gone hand in hand with that of the South, which has only come into it's own again, economically speaking since the begin ming of the twentieth century,"
 He pleaded that every rural boy and girl should be given as good an education as the boys and girls born m the larger cities.
 Governor McRae was greeted with a rising exclamation when he re- sponded to his toast, and gave an ex- sceilent talk on the future of educa- tion in Arkansas. He maintained that the time has now come when the people who are interested in higher education can no longer lay blame on the state Legislature, since the legis- iaEllre had done so nobly in the mat ter of support in the last session.
 When l came before the people of this state as a candidate for govern or, l did it on the platform that would not ask for any increases of taxes except for education, said the governor. "The people of Arkansas believe in education. l have never seen them refuse to raise their taxes where education was in question. And it will be the same with the lower education"
 Remove the limit in the matter of school taxes, and let the people vote as much as they want for the education of their children say I. | believe with Huxley that illiteracy and liberty are incompatible in a na- tion like this"

NO INCREASE IN
 RAIL EARNINGS
Reports for April Show Smaller In come Than During March-South- ern Roads Make Largest Gains
 in Income.

Washington, June 13.-Railroads of the country earned $29,201 ,000 in April, or $1,494,O ,O00 less than in March, according to reports to the Interstate Commerce Commission made public today by the Association of Railway Executives.
 The earnings for April represented return on the valuation tentatively fixed by the commission for ratemak- ing purposes of 2.1S per cent against 2.30 per cent for March, and were $51, ,286,000 short of the amount con- templated by the transportation act, the statement said.
 Operating expenses for April were S6.74 per cent of the amount of the revenue against 87.19 for March, showing, the statement said, that while expenses were reduced during the month revenues also fell off. Dur ing the eight months since the federal guaranty period expired the roads have earned $279 ,00S ,000, an annual rate of return of 2.41 per cent on the tentative valuation of the roads, or $414253, ,000 less than the amount ex- pected to be earned from the rates established by the commission.
 Earnings in the Eastern district for April represented a return of per cent, in the South 3.41 per cent and in the west POI per cent. Operating revenues in the East totaled S196,- 76S,O00, or an increase over April, 1920, of 15.5 per cent, while operat- ing expenses were $170,7S5, ,000, or a decrease of 6.S per cent from those of April, 1920. The net operatig income for the Eastern district was $13,126,- 900 compared with a deficit of $24,- 057 000 for April last year.

HOUSE VOTES ID
 TERMINATE WAR
-yote of Five to One is Recorded in Congress in Favor of Ending oi Peace With Central Powers
 Porter Resolution Adopted.

Washington, June 1S.--By vote of exactly to 1 the House tonight passed the Porter resolution to ter inmate the state of war between the Y1.,;taa Stares and the central powers.
 A Substitute for the Knox resolu- aion. which was passed by the senate, repeating the declaration of war, ] was put thru 305 to 6l as hepuon- can measure with the loss of oniy one Republican vote--Kelly of Michigan Forty-nine Democrats joined Tn the landslide.
 First throwing out on a point of order, motion by Representative Democrat, Virginia, to send the reso- lution back to committee with lnstruc- lions to report a substitute request inc the President to negotiate with the enemy countries for a treaty ot noace. the House voted down, 254 to 112. another recommitting proposal relating to disarmament.
 There was no debate on the latter naotiesi, which provided for an amend ment to the pending measure reserv- ine the right under the treaty of Yer saixles "to enter into an agreement swsth Germany and her allies and the smwers associated with the United States in the war for joint disarma- ment."
 The effort of the Democratic lead 4ership to hold the party in line against the resolution failed, and the minority erumbied on roll call. The crack of the gavel, ending two solid days of debate. which leaders agreed had not changed one vote, brought a sigh of relief to weary members.
 Springing a surprise at the last moment, Chairman Porter, of the for sssxn affairs committee, in charge of the fight, presented Representative Bourk Cochran, Democrat, New York, to make the closing argument for pas sage of the resolution.
 There had been talk during the day that Mr. Cochran would not be found in line with his partner, but putting him forward to end the de- bate, upset calculations. In the end, however, the New York member did not actually vote, as he was paired.
 Failure of the Senate to accept the House substitute will send the whole question of peace to conference Most of the Republican speakers declared Congress ought not to repeal the war declaration itself, holding it would be regarded as repudiation of the war but Democrats reminded them that a Republican House twice had passed a peace resolution with that provision.
