According to the figures compiled by
the census bureau in Washington for
1920, Orange county was the least H.
literate county in Vermont, its per-
centage OF population unable to write
in English or any other language be-
ing Ia, against 80 for the entire state.
Chittenden was the most illiterate

OF this number 1904 are native
whites of native parentage, Loo are
OF foreign or mixed parentage, and A.
S37 are of foreign birth. The number
of iliterate negroes is 2s In the total
population 10 years of age and over
the percentage of illiteracy is 80,

diminution since 1910 when ii was 81.
In the case of the negroes the percent

OIL WASTE DANGEROUS.
Threatens Great CONGREGATION For
Part of New York.

New York. Sept l2,-Shipping inter
ests have Needed persistent warnings
that unless something is done TO stop
the pollution of New York harbor by
oil waste from steamers, the greatest
port in the world will BE menaeed by
danger Of great confiagration. They
have formed committee to see that
the harbor is cleansed of this peril.
Great pools have collected in many
of the harbor basins. and wooden piers
have become soaked with the oil. Under
writers and firemen here remark that
water would be of little good in fight
ing such fire, as il would make the
the burning oil spread further.
Many plans for disposal have been
offered. One would ask Congress to
make appropriations for enforcement
of the statute prohibiting the casting
Of troublesome oil upon the waters. An
other would request the city to enforce
the ordinance providing barges To carry
of the oil.
How to dispose Of the waste even
should it all be poured into barges ~
another problem. Commercially It has
little value. il is said. and II would be
useless to dump it at sea, even so far
out as fifty miles. For the oil would
come back. Just like the cats people try
TO get rid of by taking 10 the country.
Shipping men. however, express the be-
lief that a profitable means of utilizing
the waste viii be found.
Representatives of the national board
of FIRE underwriters have informed the
committee that the problem of elimi-
mating similar danger in European har-
bors had interested the governments of
Great Britain. France and Italy. and
that they were working on possible
solutions

dicate larger families of children in
the country than in urban communi-
ties, but more probably indicate the
influx of adult foreign immigrants in
