Western States Lead in
School Attendance, But Del
aware Comes in on High

In connection with the data recent
ly published showing the Western
states had a smaller percentage of
illiteracy than any section of the
United States, the Bureau of Census
issues a report regarding school at
tendance. The report shows that six
Western states lead in the percentage
of school attendance. These states are
Utah, which has the highest per-
centage of school attendance of any
state in the Union, Iowa, Nebraska,
Montana, Idaho and Oregon. This is
on the basis of the school population
between the ages of five and 20. For
the school age group of seven to 13,
Massachusetts leads, with a percent
age in attendance of over SO. Several
other states having a percentage of
over 95 are,-Rhode Island, Ohio
Iowa, Delaware, Idaho and Utah.

Bankers and Farmers Offer
Medals for Corn Prizes

The Delaware Bankers Association
is offering four silver medals and one
gold medal for championship and
sweepstakes exhibits of corn shown at
the Delaware State Corn Show to be
held at Seaford, January 3 5, 1922.
The above plan of cooperation with
the Delaware Corn Growers Associa-
ton was announced by William G.
Taylor, President of the Bankers
Association, after being unanimously
approved by the Executive Commit
tee. These medals will supplement the
$500 cash prizes appropriated by the
State for premiums in the various
classes of corn exhibits. The Bankers
Association appreciates the work of
corn improvement brought about by
the Corn Growers Association and
is using this means to create greater
interest and keener competition on the
part of the growers and exhibitors of
Delaware's greatest crop. The medals
will be awarded as follows:
For the best so ears of corn from
the State-Silver Medal.
For the best 20 ears of corn from
the State-Silver Medal.
For the best single ear Of corn from
the State-Silver Medal.
For the best 10 ears of corn ex-
hibited by Boys Corn Club Member
Silver Medal.
For the best 10 ears of corn from
the State-Gold Medal.
The silver medals are of the best
sterling silver and the gold medal is
solid gold.

VOCATIONAL
FARMING FOR
NEGROES

Special attention has been given to
the study of the educational condl-
tions among negroes, as a result OF q
cooperative agreement between tho
states relation service Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
and the Federal Board of Vocational
Education. It has been realized that
the negro teachers are in need OF all
the assistance possible.
Two courses of study, one in plant
production and the other IN amman
production were prepared by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
following Investigations into the pro-
blems, conditions and facilities OF the
negro schools. A specialist in agri-
cultural instruction was first detail
ed to visit the school where agrlcui-
ture was taught. The methods and
practices used by the teachers "eie
observed and available facilities not
ed. The crops and animals grown IN
the various states were considered
In the plan of the lessons, seasonal
sequence was followed, and no les
sons which were not adapted to south.
ern conditions were included.
Further work in connection WITH
these courses of study was done
through conference held at botn
Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes
A large number of the leading Negro
AGRICULTURAL teachers Of the South
attended. instruction in the practi
cal application of the two courses wal
given to the teachers, who are nvo7
using them extensively.

lines from imposing any conditions
which would tend to lessen their re-

been interpreted, twisted and weakened
by so many court decisions that the
shippers feel that there is mo health

but is usually either 10 or Is cents
hundred. This is done because the
strapped cases are subject to less pill
ferage for three reasons: They take
more time to enter; in some kinds of
strapping the fact that the case has
been entered is at once evident, and the
cases hold together better in handling,
and with all boards held in place and
unbroken no temptation is offered to
the casual, unprofessional pi]ferer as
with broken case which shows its con-

national cooperative action to stamp
out freight pilfcrage. This subject will
probably be discussed at a meeting of
the international Law Association to
be held at The Hague this month and
at the international shipping confer
ence which probably will be held in
London in October
With the truck transportation COM
panies, who form the last link in the
carrying system, the problem is not so
simple. The responsible, efficient and
honest motor truck companies will not
have many losses, and will pay just
claims when they do occur. But there
are, and probably always will be, ire
sponsible trucking companies who will
quote lower rates, and through care
lessness and dishonesty will bring
losses upon shippers for which no re-
endorsement will be made. Two meas
ures will generally reduce pilferage
losses. The fra is the insistence that
all shipm cnts must be delivered on the
day received. Under no circumstances
should goods for export or goods on
the first stage Of long journey be
permitted to remain in @ truck in a
garage over night. The second is the

There is the age-o!a insignia Of aris-

have been chemically made the same in
composition and appearance and prop
critics as those found in our mines
not artificial but genuine rubics can
now be manufactured at reasonable
rates.
The great French chemist Moissan,
as is we'll known, has even made small
diamonds, infinitesimal bits, it is true,
but diamonds nevertheless. To produce
large diamonds it is necessary to reach
an enormous temperature and pressure
great enough to liquefy carbon and to
keep it in this state while it slowly
crystallizes, for just as sugar melts in
boiling water and on being cooled de-
posits crystalline bits as rock candy
SO molten iron dissolves carbon, and on
being cooled deposits graphite. If. in
stead, the iron might be made through
intense pressure to deposit its carbon
in crystalline form, the crystals would
prove to be diamonds.
In recent years much higher heat
than the electric furnace has been OBJ
tanned by exploding cordite in closed
steel chambers with a resulting enor-
nous pressure. Among the residue
from these experiments have been
found bits of minute crystals seemingly
veritable diamonds. In the words of
another chemist, although man cannot
control the conditions that make for
large diamonds, he at least understands
them, and why shall we not expect the
diamond TO be conquered as absolutely
as the ruby in proper timer"

drivers receipts at the beginning and
end Of tho Journey. Careful attention
to the time element In trucking also
should be accompanied by scrutiny of
other details.
An instance Is cited where Of OIL
cases shipped to Europe eight were
thoroughly looted and filled with paper
and rags and stones. Clean receipts
were given for the shipment at every
point, and the steamship line was sure
they had not been entered en- route
Some Of the papers that had been
stuffed into the pilfered cases were
New York newspapers, which made it
probable that the pilferage occurred on
our shores. The steamship company's
receipt showed that first 33 cases had
been received, then Is cases, then 33
cases. In rejecting upon this 1t seemed
unnatural that the second tfuckload
should not be q full one. In other
words the proper order should have
been SO, SO, and 25. Investigation of
the shipping room records showed that
the truck had been loaded in this way.
But the eight cases on the second load
had been dropped by the truck driver
where gang Of organized pilferers
had whole day to work upon them un-
disturbed, and he then picked up the
looted cases, restored to their original
appearance, and carried them with his
third load the next day to the pier.
esponsibility was by this piece of de-
tective work fixed upon the trucking
company.
# supervision of the time element in
trucking is not sufficient to prevent
losses, shippers organizations in this
country plan to gradually work out

drivers, and perhaps even stevedores
who have clean record with no losses;
and to the extent that it can legally
be done to have a blacklist Of the

When mechanical preventive meas

in other countries. The use of light

with our relatively plentiful supply of

often made just little too light, and
