RURAL SCHOOL BOY
 IS BELOW AVERAGE
Country Taught Children Have
 Disadvantages

New York, Aug. 26.-Disa dvantage3 of the country school child in com parison With the city trained child pointed out by Professor Mabel Car ney of Columbia university, followed a, series of conferences with country school superintendents from all Over tn, nation.
 Almost half the school children Of the United States, that is S,OOO,OOO, attend one and two teacher rural schools in buildings of the box car type," Prof. Carney said. Many of these buildings are neglected be- yong description.
 Their school term averages 137 days a year as against 1S7 days Q year for city children. The avera ge daily attendance for city school chill dren is 80 per cent, while for coun- try children it is 65 per cent.
 ''All this is greatly complicated by the question of child labor on the farm. It is estimated that one mil lion and a half of country children are engaged in farm labor to their detriment and kept out of school. For this reason, illiteracy is twice as great in rural as in urban territory.
 ''The country boy or girl is getting only about one-half the teaching ability. less than half the supervision and not quite half the efficient admin istration of school affairs that is everywhere accorded the more fortu- nata city child.
 That country children prosper as we'll as they do is due more largely to the wholesome influence of the average country home than to any advantage in the one-teacher school. The one-teacher school is an archaic institution and should be abandoned and replaced by consolidation as quickly as possible
 ''The wisest and most direct solu- ton of our national country life prob lem is to be attained through proper attention to the rural schools of the cOuntry.'

with sympathy and understanding and accorded fuli equality in the political organizations in the rest The women who are more experienced in political matters, especially those who are en- gagged in suffrage work before nation al enfranchiSement, find nothing dis courasing in the situation.''
 Helen Varick Boswell, vice-presi- dent of the republican county conlmis- tee Of New York, said that the rapid ity and case with which women have become absorbed in the political side of life since the passage Of the Nine teenth Amendment had caused amaze ment among the men and satisfaction among the women. in New = York state the women became organized in to parties within a few weeks Of the actual granting of suffrage.
 The benefit to the county and to women has been great. We feel an assurance, a poise, security in being real citizen, with all the functions of helping to create and to maintain better government as our equipment in the political field
 Mrs. Lillian R. Sire, president of Woman's Democratic Political league. said that the biggest achievement Of the year has been the educating of women and men to a new political consciousness.
 The work of introducing womans ideals into our political affairs is nec- essarily slow she said, but we are making progress every day and a higher standard of conduct in politics and public affairs is being set up.
 we have learned that most of the political leaders are not sincere with US. They will have to learn to take women into their confidence and con- suit with them more on political problems of every nature in order to get their point of view which is of value.
 We have not found them to be grateful either. We are given house to house canvassing. for which we are well-fitted, and other political drul- gery to do but SC far there has been no sharing of other political responsi- bilities. After we have been of serv- ice and benefit to them they try to avoid us for fear we will expect them to return the favor in kind.''

SILK PURSE MADE
 FROM A PIGS EAR
Will Be Shown at Chemists EXhi.
 bitiOn in New York

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. 26.-A silk purse made from sows' ears, as chem istry's answer to the old saying that it couldn't be done, will be shown at the chemistry exposition in New York during the week of September 12.
 In announcing the successful result of perinnents, Arthur D. Little, Inc, chemists and engineers, of this city, said the silk was not very strong and that there was no present industrial value in the process involved. It was more or less the product of chemistry at play, but a contribution also to philosophy in providing the fallacy of the old proverb.
 Tn reciting the factors that entered into the transition of sows' ears from Chicago stockyards to a silk purse such as a woman might carry, the chemists explained that the first step was to analyze the silkworm's method of making silk. This done, it's cater pillar chemistry was copied in the lab oratory-
 It w-as found that man had to pro- vide a substitute for a process by which the silkworm exudes from two
 
 of a voscous liquid, coated with an- other secretion, which are cemented into double strand. This becomes a firm filament of silk when it coagu- 1ates on reaching the air.
 Analysis of this viscous liquid show ed it to be like glue and with some what similar chemical properties. The sows' ear being chiefly gristle and skin, also has the natural elements of glue This was obtained from the ears and it was put through several processes of preparation, filtered under pressure and placed in spinning apparatus of a special design.
 The solution Of glue and chemicals came out as 16 very fine cOlOrless streams, jointed into one composite fibre, treated to give it strength and color, and processed yet again to ob- tain the desired soft, silky feet The weaving followed on a small hand loom, the fabric was formed and the purse made.

Exmouth Eng, Ang- 26--BaHled a second time by ocean tempests, the yacht Medora, of 169 tons. which trst departed- April 12 for the South Seas. where it's ships company of "A souls sought relief from clvlllza- ton, is lying in the docks here with new pages in it's history of dlsap- pointed hopes
 Twice the Medora has started from England and twice she has returned.
 The last time, the little vessel car ried fl men, seven women and three children bound for a paradise on earth, where neither tax gatherers nor strikes disturb.
 We had to come back because the women could not stand the rough weather" one of the pioneers de- clared and with this the women agreed.
 Despite the two unsuccessful de- partures, the party, with only six se- sessions, has remained resolute and determined to complete the journey.
 Plans now contemplate a new start in August. This time, however, there will be no women on board. They will take the overland" route acros; Tahiti in the Society Islands.

WOMEN HAPPY OVER
 POLITICAL DOINGS.
Satisfied With Accomplishments First Year Of EnfranChiSelnent

New York, Aug. 26.-Representa- tive women leaders in political organi- cations here expressed qualification to- day over the achievements Of the women of the United States during the first year of their national enfran- chisement. The 18th amendment to the Constitution was officially pro- claimed August 26, 1920.
 All agreed that during the year women voters everywhere had begun slowly but surely to find their place in the political councils and organi- zations of the parties. An awakened political consciousness among both men and women and a new dignity in political affairs generally were among the things accomplished by women in that short time, they said.
 Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt Of the National League of Women Voters and the National American Women Suffrage association, said that women have begun to find their place in the management of the affairs Of the two dominant political parties of the coun- try.
 While our progress in that direc- ton has not been complete she said, we believe that we have accomplish ed much in that direction. Many women have been somewhat discour- aged by the treatment they have re- ceived from the professional men politicians in their localities. While wom en have not been granted political equality and opportunity to take their proper place in the political life of their communities in about half the states, they have been received
New Britain herald., 1921-08-26

Mary Garrett Hay, chairman of the
 New York City League of Women
 Voters, said that it was generally con- ,ceded that the presence of women at
 the polls has brought order and dig
 nifty.
 Women have started a movement
 for better candidates she said. The public is hardly aware of this as vet but women are throughout the coun- try holding meetings, getting records, distributing Quesuonnaires an d preaching the need for more ability and more honesty in public office They have made a persistent effort to educate the electorate through citi- zenship schools and courses and through the distribution of candidates records and opinions
 If American women continue as they have started. they will in few tyears, bring about some startling changes in legislation, election
 methods and political standards and they will accomplish this in a quiet
 an unostentatious fashion

GONE FAMOUS KEEL,
 PRIDE OF GERMANS
Great Seaport a WretChed and
 DeSolate Spot

kiel, Aug. S. German-Americans who frequent the lobbies Of hotels in Berlin, can often be heard remarking that Germany has won the war.
 If they were to visit hiel and other German naval bases, they would prob ably get decidedly different impres- sion. Nothing could be more com plete that the desolation which hoy- CTS over kiel harbor, formerly the pet war harbor of the German navy and probably the best haven in all Europe.
 The great shipyards which created most of the craft for the German navy, are silent. Rusty sheds mark the scene of former activity. Idle, desert ed docks stand as sad reminders Of days when kiel was the point to which all German eyes, and m fact all the eyes of Europe were directed.
 All machinery which the allied commissions regarded as useful for . war purposes has been dismantled. Floating docks, cranes and other ex- pensive equipment have been moved away to recompense Gernany's 0nemies for the damage done by Ad niral von Tirpitz submarines.
 In normal times, Kiel had 50,00O naval officers, sailors and employees n the harbor at all time. Now the naval personnel is less than 1000. The city which formerly had a population of 250,00O has lost all of it's great government payroll and one-hfth of it's population
 Fort Falkenstein and the other bat teries which covered the Baltic en- trance to the Kaiser William Canal have been reduced to piles of cruIn- pied concrete and twisted steel. Their great guns have been sawed into bits and pitched into scrap heaps.
 The naval academy is closed. An empire without a navy has no use for more naval officers. The attendance at the university has dwindled. The castle of Prince Henry. overlooking the naval harbor, has been taken over by the workingmen for club, and there are no warships in the maghi- fcent waterway where the Emperor William used to review his navy with pomp.
 It was here that the flower or the German navy lay, safe behind torpedo nets, during most of the war At present there are only two antique cruisers lying at the imperial naval docks. These were so far out of date that the English and French dldn think it was necessary to scrap them. and hesitated to offer such craft to any of the nations which had helped win the war.
 Small commercial shipyards are op- erating and the commercial harbor still has a little business.
 The Kiel Canal is still quite active. But Kiel derives little benefit from the business passing through the canal and cannot revive materially until ex- change conditions become such that it can again buy timber from the Scandinavian countries and resume it's importance as a lumber depot for Central Europe. .-.......
