Statue Of Lincoln May
Be Put on Battlefield

Grated and hidden from view in
the government storeyard back Of the
bureau of engraving and printing, the
statue of Abraham Lincoln, which
formerly stood on Judiciary Square,
NAV be resurrected from it's obscur-
ity to receive triumphal rededica-
ton on the battlefield of Fort Stevens,
where the martyred President was
under fire during the civil war.
Col. C. o. Sheriff., officer in charge
of public buildings and grounds, and
the custodian of the statue, believes
no more appropriate site could be
selected for it's permanent location,
and will ask Congress to authorize it's
removal to the battlefield.
Congress has had the matter before
it for some time. There has been
strong support of and opposition to
the proposal to give the statue its
former location. Col. Sheriff., it was
learned, will urge strongly the Fort
Stevens site and ask Congress tc
reach decision as soon as possible

Read His Mind

Ambassador Jean Jules Jusserand,
for the last twenty years the repre-
sentative Of France in the United
States, has sense OF humor that is a
constant delight to Washington.
What is probably his prize quip
was made some years ago, when the
public was engaged in laughing a
ridiculous statue out of the capitol
grounds. This statue was Of George
Washington. It represented the
father Of his country sitting, entirely
nude, amid the SHOWS and wintry
blasts of Capitol Hill, one finger
raised solemnly above his head.

Jusserand opined. "He is saying

Pussy Dead and
Soldiers Mourn

A big cat, hero of the war, in the
French lines at Amiens, has just died.
Dispatches from Paris carry this
news and the war record OF "Dla-
mond," as tribute to the falthful
mascot of the French soldiers.
The cat appeared one day, probably
from a household in the rear OF the
lines, and refused to leave the SOL
diers. He was Immediately named
and adopted. Every day he went on
a tour of inspection and INDUCED
in a little scouting expedition of his
own, crossing no-man's-land, picking
his way through the entanglements to
the very edge of the German front
trenches.
The French soldiers in order TO
protect the cat, tied package Oh
cigarettes around his neck and caro-
with the words: "I bring you cigar

cites; do not kill me-" Since the war,

it, too, was mended. A bit of adhesive
tape was first used to cover the hole,
then the cement plastered thickly on
both sides. For some time afterward
the heat of the sun would soften it a
little, but it finally hardened and has

did not show; otherwise a coat OF

More Women Seeking
Higher Education

More girls than boys graduate from
high schools, but more men than
women have always been enrolled in
the colleges and universities and
other institutions of higher learning,
according to very comprehensive
statistical report just completed by
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton. That women are catching up
with men in the number seeking
higher education as well as high
school diplomas, is shown by the
figures of H. R. Bonner who directed
the government study. In the past
26 years the number Of college women
has increased 1856 per cent while the
percentage of increase for men has
been only 143 per cent.
A very interesting condition in
present day education is that the
proportion of high school students
who enter college, falls off as the high
schools are improved and broadened
to cover vocational subjects. Mr..
Bonner says:
at is evident that colleges and
universities have not succeeded in re-
cent years in drawing as large a pro-
portion of high school graduates as
they formerly did.
"The multiplication of high schools,
in the attempt to give every boy and
girl the advantages of a high school
education, has not resulted in a large
proportion of subsequent enrolment
in collegiate and graduate courses.
One who has completed commercial
course in high school is not so likely
to enter college after graduation as a
student who has taken the purely
academic or college preparatory
course"
The information upon which Mr.
Bonner bases his findings was collect,
ed from 672 universities, colleges ano
professional schools. Most of the mum.
ber are small colleges, although few
large institutions are included.
"These percentages are signifi
can't" the report states, Gin view o1
the fact that in public high school:
only 35 per cent of the teachers are
men, and in the elementary only 13.;
per cent. There is tendency, there
fore, for women to monopolize thu
elementary and secondary school worl
and for men to control the work Il
the higher institutions. The percent
age of men instructors in colleges an
universities has been steadily increas
ing since 1892, while the proportion
of women teachers has decreased cor
respondingly. About one-half as man
women as men receive graduate dc
grees from our colleges and universe
ties, but only about one-fourth
many teach in these higher lnstltu
tons. On the other hand, about eigh
times as many men as women recelv
the Phi. D. degree conferred on e'
animation, yet only four times a
many become teachers in univel
sities."

Huge Passenger Plane Now Under Construction

The Davey Aero company, with
headquarters and working shop at IL
Florence street, this city, is now con-
structing one of the largest passenger
carrying flying machines, of the
hydro type, ever built in this section
Of the country. The machine is al
most completed, and if plans mature,
will be. fully equipped and finished
late in the fall. A try out Will De
made probably in New Haven in the
spring. The machine, with wing
spread of 12S feet, covers a total area
Of lifting surface of $500 square feet.
The height of the machine all over is
20 feet and it measures 70 feet from
lip to rudders. The cabin, which is in

IN, secretary, and treasurer. The
company is Capitalized at $4,000.
AThe machine, if a success, will be
used for passenger service between
Boston and New York The owners
estimate that two or three flights can
re made a day. The motors are es-
tlinated to be able to drive the ma
chine at a rate Of speed of about 100
miles an hour.
The estimated expense of operating
the machine for one flying hour, not

built in lot adjoining the workshop
Of the company. 1t is the first one
Of its kind ever attempted to be con-
structed by local mechanics and the
outcome of its trial is being watched
by the community. Great crowds of
interested persons throng the lot on
sundays and hundreds of pictures
have been taken of it during it's con-
structlon that its progress may be re-
corded. The work covers a period
of several months of tireless effort
on the part of the heads of the CON-
pany and the force of mechanics en-
ployed at the shop. Every part of
the huge plane is made and turned
out in the little worship, with the
exception of the mammoth engines
The interior of the cabin in the fuse
lage is lined with beaver board and
on each side of the cabin, there are
six windows that the passengers may
watch the course of their flight. A
door is also being built that acces
may be had to the large wings.
The board of directors is: Simon
Davey, Frank Davey, Charles G. Da-
vey, Herman Werdelin, Victor H.
Werdelin, B. Fredrik Werdelin, H.
Walter Werdelin. F. L. Williams is
handling the sale of stock.
The machine, when fully completed,
will be taken apart and moved from
it's present birth by automobile truck
to it's trying place in New Haven.

REPORTS ON SEVERAL OF THE
 WELLS BEING DRILLED HERE

Judge A. NJ Denman and Nat Martin accompanied by w k. Achuff visited some of the oil wells being drilled in Nevada and Hampstead counties and they bring the following report to us:
 At Sutton well they are running the 6-inch casing preparatory to start drill ing. Work is progressing nicely
 Shaw and Shaw are closed down on account of water. They will either extend a pipe to the creek or bore well, then resume operation.
 The derrick of the Yates well in 3O- -12- -33 has been erected for several days. and they are awaiting arrival of machinery to begin operation.
 Hope well-They are completing the washing ont fthe Hope well and were preparing to bail at , o'clock yester- 1sy afternoon There was slight slowing of oil found in washing out.
 They found that the tools of Conti- mental Oil and Gas company's Brown No 1. had been lost in cave in. which necessitated skidding the rig and be .,nning anew. which will be done af once
 They found at the Jones well south of Hope. they were unable to remove the lost drill stem and will resume drilling around the stem and continue completion of the well.
 Mir. Achuff was highly pleased with developments now going on here and returns to St. ouis with valuable ln- formation which will be given out to his numerous customers and friends.
 The local firm of Moore and Martin are fortunate in securing the services of Mir Achuff.
