established by legislative action; and
the only funds which the commission
las had came from private sources.
''It is well known that the greater
part Of the Illiteracy that exists In the
southern states Is among the negroes.
In 1890, seven negroes In every ten y
Alabama were unable to write. This
proportion has been reduced at every
census since that time, and In 1920 II
was three in every ten. Nearly 211,OOO
Alabama negroes were reported illiter4
ate in that year. 4 similar lack OF
education prevails To an undue extent
among The native white people of the
state; 67,2s7 of them capnot write.
That number is GA per cent of the
native white population over ten years
OF age.
with a much smaller proportion OF
negroes in her population, Arkansas
may be expected to excel the showing
made by Alabama in the education of
her citizens. The number Of taxpayers
among negroes Is relatively small In
all The southern states and the amount
they pay In school taxes is not enough
to maintain their own schools. The
whites, therefore, must educate MOI
only their own children, but those Of
| the negroes as we'll.
Arkansas has within her border
121,S3T persons TEN years old or ovel
who cannot read; 40,753 of them arr
native whites and 79,245 are negroes
The percentages of the corresponding
total population are 40 per cent, AM
21.S per cent, respectively. Clearly
Arkansas Is better Off educatlonall
than Alabama.
like Alabama, and presnmabl
many other states, Arkansas has niue
less Of illhteracy in the cities than !
the rural portions Of the state.
Negroes constitute only 1875 pc
cent OF the population Of Delaware
and the proportion Is decreasing.
Native whites In the cities of Deli
ware show only ~ per cent of illite
acy, and that Is presumably among tn
adults. Outside the cities, howeve
50 per cent or the native whites al
unable to write. City negroes are
iiterats to the exteut of III per cen
and country negroes TO the extent
2OS pr cent.
"The reverse is true of the 70
elgn born, for 1t appears that the be
ter class OF them go to the farms al
the ignorant l0borers are inclined
the cities; 6 per cent Of the foreig
horn population Of the country are
literate, but 1872 per cent Of those
the cities are in that category"

London Tired Of Jazz.

The "jazz' is dead in London, says
P. J. s. Richardson, n Of the fore
most English authorities on dancing.
He declares that no new dances will
be popularized this year, but the fox
trot, one-step and tango. which have
held international interest for two or
three seasons, will be standardized.
previously those taught the same
dances by different teachers found
themselves hopelessly at sea wheE
they tried to dance together" he said.
Through Standardization on which
the majority of dancing instructors in
London have now agreed. a common
framework in the. steps will be In
sured without eliminating all chance
Of introducing Individual variations.
Freakish and eccentric light gymnas-
tics such as exaggerated forms of
Jazz are rapidly passing out"

Paul Donehoo, blind lawyer and
musician, who is in town on q visit
from Atlanta, gets around over the
city and over the whole United States
without any assistance, because he
"hears" the walls and posts and every
other material obstacle In his path.
II can follow the building line along
the sidewalk by sound" he says. Il
can hear a tree or post very distinctly.
I think 1t is a sense that every one
has, but that n does not develop
unless he is blind. I call 1t sound be-
cause I find that when there Is an
overwhelming noise I cannot do It."
Mr.. Donehoo walks fearlessly about
the streets, turns without hesitation at
corners and can even estimate very
accurately the width Of the sidewalk.
always knowing when it becomes Wild

OF EVERY RACE AND TONGUE
All Peoples of the Earth Represented
m the Millions Seeking Homes
in This Country.

Armies equal in size to the one we
sent to France land every two years
on our shores, and at the present time
millions are said to be waiting to en-
ter. Since 1900 more than thirteen
million immigrants have entered this
country, and approximately one-third
Of our present population of more
than one hundred millions are immi-
grants or the children of immigrants.
Two-thirds of the population of New
York state and three-fourths of that
Of our great cities are foreign born
or the children of fOreign-b0rn par
ents.. From a fourth to Il: half of the
population of the large cities OF the
South are negroes. Already we are
the most heterogeneous people on
earth; here are found representatives
of every race and tongue and culture
in the world, and still they continue
to come In enormous numbers. 1t is
doubtful whether any other migration
in the history Of mankind compares
in magnitude with that which has been
converging on America during the past
twenty years. The sources n mag
nitude of this migration are indicated
by the following general summary:
OF more than. thirty million persons In
this country who are foreign born or
the children of 'foreign-bOrn parents
there are from eight to nine million
Germans, four to five million 1rish'
about three millions from Great Brit
ain, about three million Slavs, from
two to three million Scandinavlans'
more than two million Italians. and
about two million Hebrews, while all
other races and nations constitute
about five millions.-Edwin Grant

GOLDEN, AND OTHERS
HEADED FOR SOUTH

New York, April 26.-Vested
with full power to act three general
officers of the United Textile Work
ers of America will leave tomorrow
for North Carolina and Tennessee,
where textile unions are said to be
preparing to resist proposed wage
reductions. John Golden, president
and Thomas Mcmahon and Frank
McKesky, vice presidents, were Sc
fected to make the trip at a meeting
here today of the emergency COM
mittee of the convention. MI. Gold
en- announced he would Immediately
call meetings of the local unions in
the States to get the sentiment of
approximately 10000 workers.

He will carefully limit the number
he kills to insure a gradual increase
in the population of the colony to
a desired maximum. He believes the
beaver will prove more profitable
than a flock of sheep of equal num-
bers and can be bred with less trou-
BILE and expense. If his beaver farm
yields 100 beaver pelts annually it
will mean a clear profit of around
$4,000.
Western Canada is the native home
of the beaver. Its streams swarmed
with the anipals. But the old beaver
meadows are now prosperous farms
and the Hudson's Bay company is
now closing out to farm settlers the

Over tho Earth,s Shoulder.

Ocean voyages are sometimes short
ened considerably by going "over the
shoulder Of the EARTH" as the naviga-
tors say, the Nebraska State Journal
observes. The same thing is true, Of
course, of air travel. When an at
tempt Is made to fly over the Pacific
ocean from San Francisco the short
est way will not be directly across, as
a study Of the map would indicate.
Instead, the 1iers will go hundreds of
miles rorthward, skirting the Aleutian
islands and in this way saving a great
distance as we'll as securing the ad-
vantage Of more numerous landing
places.
The earth will 500 be charted for
air travcl and the lines for long dis
lance flights will be circular more

STEAM SHOVEL DRIVES
FAMILY FROM LONG
WANTED WEALTH

New York, April ga steam
shovel, used in excavating the site of
a proposed modern apartment build
ing today was driving its nose to-
ward a dilapidated, one-room shack
on Washington Heights, wherein re-
side 81 year old Martin NJ. Mole
naor, his son and daughter, claim
ants Of $500, 900, 900 worth of the
vast and thickly settled acreage to
be seen from their doorsteps.
These hundreds of acres stretch
ing in all directions, were included
more than a century ago in the es.
tate of VIM. Molenaor who died in
1872, leaving a quantity worded will
which bequeathed the land to three
sons and a daughter.
Claiming that disposition of these
lands by his grandfather's heirs was
contrary to the provisions of. the
will, the present occupant of the hut
and his children have been there s
years, hoping against hope that they
could prove their title rights. Sever.
al years ago a supreme court deci-
sion blasted the hopes of the trio but
still they remained.
Ordered by a contractor to move,
they refused. And now, like the
ticking of a clock, each plunging of
the steam shovel's nose brings near,
er the closing hour of the Molenao1
regime.

NEW PARTISAN DANCE STEPS
Pleasure Seekers of the French Capt.
tai Practice Futurist Movements
With WarIike Names. .

With Warlike Names. e
Paris has something new in dane
ing. She is introducing no fewer than
three futurist dances; the machine
gun, the shrapnel and the airman's
dance.
A poet of futurist tendencies Is the
culprlt. Being conservative enough to
love the waltz and c%onfessing un-
ashamed to many happy moments dur
ing the lancers, we trust that rem0rse
will be his lot =
So far we have only read a brief
description of n Of these measures
the airman's dance. and that simply
tells US that the dancers initiate the
motions Of a monoplane starting on a
flight and soaring away. d,
The shrapnel dance should be- easy
enough, for 1t Is only necessary to
turf up at any dancing hall and see
people who remind n instinctively OF
a creeping barrage. There are also
plenty of buds to heighten the effect.
What to make Of the machine gun
dance. however, puzzles US. for al
though there are men and even wo-
men, who can talk as fast as a ma
chine gun firing. we have never seen
a dance. that was anything like, the
real thing.

TWO BUDGET BILLS
BEFORE CONGRESS

I. Washington, April 26.-The \ ma
tonal budget bill with the same pro-
vision which caused its veto last
year by President Wilson, was re-
ported to the house today by Chair
man Good, of the special budget
committee.
The measure as. agreed upon by
the senate and house in the 66th
eongrss, was objected to by the
president because of the section pro-
yiidfng that the comptroller general
and his assistant, whose Offices
would be created by the measure,
Be subject to removal by impeach-
ment or by concurrent resolution,
after: eharing for neglect, in eficien-
xy,or malfeasance. Mr.. Wilson held
that the president who would ap-
point these officials, alone could re-
move them.
IN presenting the measure Chair
man Good reported that one change
provided for appointment by the
president Of a director Of the bureau
of budget, at salaries of 10000 and
1900 respectively. The old bill made
the secretary of the treasury the d.
rector.
A similar budget bill, introduced
BY Senator Mccormick, Republican,
Illinois, also was reported f~avorably
Eate today by the senate budget COM
nittee.

WOULD MOVE COAL
DURING SUMMER

Washington, April 26.-Majority
members of the Senate interstate com
merce committee agreed informally
today to. report a bill authorizing the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
make an investigation and, if deemed
advisable, to initiate seasonal rates
on shinments of anthracite and btu
minous coal.
The committee discussed the Ere
Eaghuysen bill, outlining a graduated
scale of rates on coal shipments, with
the lowest tariffs applying to summer
movements, but postponed formal &C
ton until tomorrow. Chairman Cum
minis said the commission could with
IN thirty days make an investigator
and initiate the rates, provided it
foond them justified.
Lugene' McAnlifs, president. Of the
Union Colliery Company, St. Louis,
urging favorable action on the bill de-
elared the proposed differential would
ba1aiice the coal industry from a pro-
duclng standpoint throughout the
year. He said they would encourage
summer buying because of low rates
on summer shipments and would
eliminate danger of winter coal pan
les.
The committee, however, appeared
reluctant to direct the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission to invoke the rates
described by the bill, several member:
insisting that Congress would be in.

is,ation directing the initiation of

A HENS NEST HIGH IN TREE
Eggs Found Forty Feet Above The
Ground in Washington Town

White Salmon, Wash.-Mayor G.
G. Crow says he believes the cow that
Jumped over the moon had little in
aititudinous achievements to boast of
over a certain hen of his flock. For
several days members of his family
had heard this hen cackling forth her
lay; but nobody could find her nest.
Finally, she was seen to fly down
from a tall fir tree near. the mayors
house. A neighbor boy was persuaded
10 climb the tree. Forty feet above
the ground, in an abandoned SOUR
Fcl'a. nest, he found six fine hens
eggs. All but one we're taken away
and since then the hen continues to
lay an egg daily in her lofty retreat.

BEAVER FARMING
BECOMING POPULAR

Edmonton, Canada, Apr 26-Beav-
er farming has been inaugurated in
Alberta. 1t promises to become pop
ular and in time beaver fur may take
rank with wheat as an annual crop
among the small farmers of the pro-
vince.
S. w. Paisley of Lacombe is the
pioneer of the new industry. 1t be-
came evident. the beaver would con-
troll his farm if he did rot control
the beaver.
Under a permit from the Provin-
cial government ne enclosed the beav-
er in a mesh-wire fence built above
and below their dams and for 100
yards or so along the banks some SO
feet back from the waters edge. He
cut gaps in the tops of the dams to
regulate the flow of water and pre-
vent the flooding of his farm land.
He will plant turnips and carrots
within the enclosure to supplement
the wild food supply of the animals.
When the beavers have multiplied
sufficiently he will begin trapping

ACCORDING to paragraph IA Of Road
a. Ordinance of1 June 1884.
The Inspection Of the general annual
repairs Of the public roads with bridges
culvers side walls. water. courses, hand
rails etc, etc. shall commence after the
Is February.
All R~oadholders are therefore request
&C to have their respective aIlotmentS 10
good efficient order by that date.
The repairs are now being carried on
in a very Inefficient manner and not ac-
cording to the road regulations, the
trenches are not dug out or cleaned
properly, the roadway is too fiat and has
not sufficient crown to shoot off the water,
and the road sides in many places are
higher than the centre Of the roadway.
The road must have a goodnight crown
so as to shoot off the water quickly and
keep the roadway clean. The trenches
must be dug out and cleaned out proper
Iy and the water from same must not be
blocked off from its natural course but
must have a good outlet so that it may
not soften or effect the road bed.
No stones larger than one and a malt
inch must be used in the repairs and the
boundary posts on each allotment mus
be plainly marked 1t each end so as 70
distinguis it at Inspection, no material
of a soft nature must be used in the
erpairs.
1t is therefore incumbent Oh each road
holder to carry his obligations as pre-
scribed by the Road Ordinance, II moi,
the defects found by the Inspection will
be handed to the Government for further
steps to be taken.
The roads must be kept up to the
requirement of modern traffic, and il
ought to be the duty OF every loyal citi-
zen to do his part in this respect.
Good and efficient roads are the first
step forward in good Government and
Civilization on modern lines.
