Millions Of immigrants In Country Can

Committee Finds American
Teachers Are Incompetent

Washington, ID. C.-The United

est places In the civilized world In
which to get q good education. In the
opinion of Il committee Of the house
which has been investigating the ques-
ton.
A fourth of the men of fighting age
I'm the United States are illiterates,
many children never get adequate
schooling, many Of the teachers are in

migrants In the country who can nei-
ther speak nor read English, and many
negro children never see the inside OF

are closed because no teacher can be
obtained for the miserable salaries Of

This disturbing picture OF educa-
ton In America Is contained In the
report OF the house committee on edu-
cation ON the Towner bill. and album
dant proof Of its truth is contained In
the hearings which were held In con-
nection with the bill.

Washington.-The great demand for
petroleum, resulting chiefly from the
Increase Of oil-burning devices and
and motor-driven vehicles, forces pro-
ducers TO take advantage Of every
opportunity to Increase Its production
by seeking new sources OF supply
and, what is more important. to Use
new methods for saving more Of the
oil brought to the surface than has
been retained heretofore. As In other
kinds Of mining, 1t Is thought possible
that large additional recovery can
be obtained at profit by working
over the wastes In certain fields and
by using more economical methods Of
production In the future. says A. X.
Elliott, assistant petroleum engineer.

A survey OF the oil districts Of Call
fornia was made by the bureau In
order to ascertain whether the visible
masses Of wasted oil-bearing sands
would be a profitable source Of supply.
From the data collected II Is estimated
that 1850, 100 barrels Of oil valued at
more than $3,5OO,OOO. could be OBJ
tained from the sandpiles about pro-
ducing wells and from the Outcrop-
pings In the vicinity of the fields. Also.

paper issued by the bureau OF
mines In 1914 said: ut is probable
that 10 or Is per cent of the total
gross production of the state has been
wasted through seepage or evapora-
ton" This represents loss of 49,
100000 barrels Of oil yearly. Probably
one-quarter to One-half of this amount
seeps into the ground.
AS a possible means OF recovering n
large amount Of oil from these wastes
the following should be considered,
says Mr.. Elliott: (D Recovering oil

According to the census Of 1910.
there were In this country 5,500,OOO

The committee emphatically refutes
the idea that illiteracy Is confined to

The committee says that getting an

largely a matter Of luck. that the Cd.

The committee finds that American

100000 of them have less than n high

The forget-me-nots are worked in satin

OOMETHING novel in handker-

- season of the year than any other
For one thing, the thought of gift
making Is beginning to occupy a
larger place in our plans. Then, each
season finds the handkerchief sustain
ing a closer relation to the costume
than ever before. Not that much
time and thought have not always
been given to the little square of linen
so highly priced by all dainty women;
but fashions in 'kerchiefs have never
changed so frequently as during the
past few years and one has not felt it
quite necessary to consider this little
accessory as an important detail Of
the costume.
Now, thanks to Dame Fashion,
there are handkerchiefs for all occasions
the afternoon tea, evening functions,
daytime use and even for sports wear.
The design is usually the determining
factor, and, sometimes the color,

are many attractive salad oombina-

Thin slices Of oranges, trimmed Of
all white skin, are arranged on crisp
leaves of head-lettuce. The center Of
each orange slice is garnished with
thin slice of pimento-stuffed olives or
with half pecan or walnut. Prunes
stewed until tender, are stoned and

Make Your own Buttons

Make buttons by covering two good
sized button molds with knitted
squares and fasten them in place on
the belt. Arrange four little crochet
rounds diagonally on each side Of the
center front as ornaments. To make
the rounds chain three or four stitches
and fill the ring thus made with double
crochet; then crochet round again with
a single stitch. Such ornaments can also
be used effectively as dress trimmings.
