 The institution is able to show the cost Of operation down to the finest point This may be better understood when it IS stated that the report of the shoe shop for January shows that it was necessary to invest cents in one size shoe tacks, while another size caused an investment of f2 cents. Every item of cost is figured, regardless of it's small- ness This same report shows that three pairs of shoes were made in the shop during the month, the estimated value being $4 pair. It also shows 5S4 pairs soles being estimated at $292. The work done was valued at Al417, while the cost of materials and the salary of the supervisor were s252.32, leaving net rev. enue of s161S5 from the department.

SOUTH AMERICA RESENTS

Rx Aas1,c1nrea Praa.

Philadelphia, Pa, February 19.-- South America resents that conception of the Monroe Doctrine which defines it as mantle of protection dr ex- pression of fraternal relations between tho two continents, Secretary of Stats Colby declared in an address before the Academy of Political and Social Science here tonight.
 Describing his recent voyage to re- turn the visits to the United Status made by Presidents Brum of Uruguav in 1s1Ss and Pessoa of Brazil in 1919. he emphasized the great cultural and economic developments of the south ern continent and how little the peo- pie who dwell below the equator feel mat they are dependent upon the United States.
 North Americans who are to suc- ceed in relations with the peoples of South America. he said, can never be those who look upon that continent as an undeveloped business, but those who understand the right psycho- logical approach to Latin America and are able and willing to contribute something to its civilization. not merely to seek opportunities to ex- Dloit ii

An effort is being made to place the proper value on the work or each boy in the school and Superinten- dent Weakley said he believed the re-
 suits will more than pay for the effort which is being put forward in the per lection of the organization.

 They have made splendid progress dur

 SHELL GOES TWO MILES
Dy Associated Pyess

New Orleans, February 1s.--A six linen gun. a relic of the Civil war presented to the Louisiana Historical commission by Washington artillery, Was fired by unidentified parties from it's resting place in the Cabildo shortly before midnight tonight
 The charge used was four-inch shell of modern make and was held in firing position in the larger bore gun with newspaper packing. The projectile tore a large hole in an iron fence surround ing the gun and struck a house across the river in Algiers, at least two miles from the Cabildo.
 The house was occupied only by an old lady of advanced age, who declares that the pr0jectile bounced around in the room in which she was preparing to re- tire fin a very unseemiy manner"
 Her only injury was slight brutse from being hit by a picture knocked from the wall by the shell.
 No clue as to the identity of the par ties firing the gun has been found. The police express the belief that 1t was the act of some practical joker.

Berckes, assistant secretary of the asso- ciation-
 ''The price of southern pine lumber is ply and demand, and is not subject to artificial influences imposed by this as sociation," declared Mr. Rerckes. who issued a general denial of the charges made by the commission, in the absence from the city of Secretary-Managcr J.. E. Rhodes.
 The Southern Pine association has had no more influence in increasing the price of lumber than it did in increasing the prices of all other commodities known to man, from sugar to shirts" the state ment continues.
 We conduct q wide variety of activi- ties, the legality of which has never been questioned. The association does not now, nor has it ever issued any price list. nor has it at any time or in any way ever suggested to the manufacturers of southern pine what they had asked for their lumber. The most active com petition exists among the mills which subscribe to the services of tho associa- tion. Our chief function is the inspec- tion and grading of iumber.
