Washington, Aug. 13.-Announc1ng
figures on il1iteracy in North Carolina
today the census bureau revealed there
has been a gratifying decrease in IL
literacy throughout the state during
the past decade and at the same time
demonstrated that Greensboro has less
illiteracy than af1ys one of Il cities
separately covered in the report. :
In Greensboro, the federal reports
for the 1920 census show the percent
age of illiteracy to total population IS
only 4.6 per cent. There are but rs
native white and eight foreig-bonr IL
literates in Greensboro. There are
GAS negro illiterates.
For tn estate of North Carolina, IL
literacy, compared with total pcpula-
ton, decreased from 18.5 III 1910 TO
1871 in 1920. The census bureau says
this is quite a satisfactory decrease:
j. The census bureau says that 1tllt-
crate" in its report means person
ten wears of age or over who IS an
able to write either in English Ok any
other language.
Winston-Salem's large, negro popu-
Ilation appears to give that city a ratf1-
er high illiteracy record. The census
bureau gives it's illiteracv percentage
as II per cent, but in Winston-Sa

DOROTHY ARNOLD

black fox huff with white points. She purchased a box of candy at the Fifty ninth street store of Park & Tflford anS later bought book at Ben tranes. She had been expected to go to a Fifth avenue department store for the gown she intended to buy, but as far as is known she never reached there. Dorothy Arnold never returned home. The tine of her dis appearance was between noon and 2 oclock.s
 It is said that Miss Arnold-s family has spent $1O0,oOo in search of the missing girl, but none of the thou sands of clues which turned up has ever given a tangible result. As far as'sthe public is concerned. and ap- parently as far as Miss Arnold,s fam fly is concerned. she is as much lost as if she had been caught up into the air. A couple of dozen Dorothy Arnolds' have since turned up. but they always turned out to be hoaxes in one way or another. The search, which at first was intense, has died down, sporadic efforts to trace out some sudden clue having been made from time to time after the first thorough hunt yielded no results.
 If the New York bureau of miss ing persons has really solved the Arnold mystery it would seem al- most obligatory upon 1t to make the information public. Whatever the ap- parent reason for keeping the solu- tion hidden. there is no point in an nouncingits solution but holding, back the explana ton of what that solution is.
