HALF HOLIDAYIS IS BUSY ONE IN WALL
 STREET TRADING
By Associated Press

New York, September 23.-Prices were higher in today's half-holiday session, largely in response to short covering operations.
 Speculative interests who had sold for the decline, apparently were dis inclined to remain uncovered over the week -end In view of the more fa- vorable situation in the near east, early developments In which were used as an excuse for bear attacks.
 Gulf States Steel was the individual feature, being pushed up to net gain of more than four points. Much of the recent buying has been attributed to a group of Birmingham bankers and the bullish operations have been aided by the limited floating supply for trading purposes.
 Standard Oil of New Jersey was pushed up to a new high. and good lgains were recorded by Mexican Pe- 'troleum, Associated oil. Houston and Phillips Petroleum. Rails advanced with the rest of the list but gains were generally within radius of one point.
 Equipments were among the fea- lures in the industrial group. Steels and coppers were virtually un- changed.
 Total sales approximatod s4s,ooo shares.
 A slightly firmer tone prevailed in the foreign exchange market but the volume of business was small.
 The clearing house statements showed an increase of $59.059,000 in loans, discounts, and investments, as compared with an increase of SIS. 3.f10,- coo the week before, but the reserve of member banks In the federal re- lserve banks decreased S69,24S,000 and met demand deposits decreased $63,- 431 ,000. The aggregate reserve was s55s,377, 900 or s60.S04,610 below that of last week.
 New York. September 2s.-Trading fn the bond market was quiet and irregular today with few marked changes.
 Foreign bonds, as a rule, were steady. and most of the changes were nnimportant.
 Liberty bond prices were mixed.
 Total sales (par value) were ee,710,0oo.

SHE'S THE UNIVERSAL CHOICE.

The request from somebody In England for lists
Of the IL greatest living American women" will
no doubt bring many responses. 1t ought not to
be difficult to prepare any number of long lists OF
this kind, although it may not be so easy to single
out Il of most eminent women.
In this list will be included the names of
women educators and Of women in social work.
There will be persons who will maintain that
although woman has only recently entered the po-
litcal arena at least of the IL women so named
ought to be selected from among those who have
have won literary honors in America it ought to be
easy enough to find someone entitled to the dis
tinction of being of the IL greatest living
American
But when with the utmost this list has
been compiled, there will be many OF far from
satisfied, For when most of us think of what con-
stitutes greatness in woman do not think of any
characteristic which wins easily the applause of
the multitude. The kind of woman whom most of
us consider deserving of the distinction which
it would bring her to have her on this list
is just the very one who would not be thought OF
by those who make up this list.
1t is impossible not to associate greatness in
woman with wife-and motherhood. If you were
to ask 10000 individuals to make up list of this
kind. would not all but the merest handful of
persons head the list with the words. Mother" or
"Wife?" Could anything persuade us that even the
most brilliant career on the stage, in literature. or
in public life could entitle any other woman TO
take precedence of Mother" at the head Of this
list?
There isn't any doubt that many such lists win
be prepared. And when these have been thorough
ly gone over, we shall all agree that the women 30
selected are entitled to all the renown this will
bring them. But 1t admits of contradiction to
say that every mothers son Of us will want to put
his mothers name at the head of the column, des-
pite the fact that she may never have made
speech or even carried a banner She's the unver-
sal choice.

OUR RURAL SCHOOLS.

One of the greatest inequalities which exists in
educational opportunities under the present educa-
tional system Of the United States is between the
city and country child, according TO DR.. II. A..
Kent, dean of the school Of education at the Kan
State university.
1.-THE length Of the school year is shorter in the
one-room school than in the grade school," Dr..
Kent said THE state courses of study which are
written on eight-year basis for grade schools,
have another edition. written a nineyear basis,
for rural schools. The difference is not due to
content but the fact that 1t takes rural children
more years to the ground in school work,
since they spend less time at it each year."
The school buildings which country children
attend are on the average, poorly lighted and
ventilated than the best dairy barns The teacher
in the one-room country school hears about thirty
classes a day, with from to five children in
that number of classes, while her coworker in the
Graded school has less than ne-half that number
of classes and about fifteen children in each class.
Another inequality, according to Dr. Kent. is due

METHOD IN HIS MADNESS.
THE GERMAN IDEA OF AN INSULT
EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
WOULD KUssIAN1zE OUR CURRENCY.
(From the New York WORLDLY

(Fron the New York World.)
Senator Ladd's amendment to the MoCumber
bonus bill meets the problem of how to find the
immediate cash by providing that 1t be printed.
This is simple and practical suggestion. The
government possesses printing presses and paper
in unlimited quantities. If money is all that is
needed, nothing stands in the way of running off
two three billion dollars direct thereby saving
all this manipulation Of banks, reserves and credit
facilities.
Specifically Mr. Ladd desires to manufacture
and hand out to veterans throughout the country
the sum Of $2,500. 100000 in currency. He argues
that the issue would not "cause initiation of Gre
dts because debts will be created to get
it into circulation among the people," He says
nothing about initiation of the currency, but points
out that the notes. being redeemable in gold,
would circulate at par. Doubtless they would cir
culate at par, wherever par was by the time his
stper billions had been absorbed. The United
States has gone through good deal of grief lately
trying to squeeze wartime values down to pre-
war norm. Mr.. Ladd invites us to go through it
all again.
In Russia it is the current practice, Mr.. Ladd
may have heard, to print rubles whenever the
government is short of cash. And the rate of x.
change on rubles marks roughly tho difference
between that system and sound finance,

Also, we must to be satisfied with the dead
level of school accomplishment, according to DR.,
Kent. There must be different minimums for
children of different abilities. Many boy and girl
has been saved from school failure by having the
opportunity to work and think in specific terms
that are associated with the equipment of the ma
chine shop, the kitchen. the sewing machine or the
agricultural product. For instance only a few
weeks ago tree boys finished the domestic science
course in a Kansas high school, several girls in
Texas finished the agricultural course and even in
our own community we have girls who mem
bers OF pig clubs, calf clubs and other clubs the
activities of which few years ago were confined
exclusively to boys.
New Mexico, by consolidating schools, has taken
long step toward lettering the conditions for her
rural pupils Let us hope that the good work viii
continue until children residing in the country dis
tricts have educational advantages equal to those
in the cities and towns. We also gradually get
ting health work in our schools on sound basis.

Wiggily one day, as he stopped Io

Mrs. Bow Wow lived with Jackie
and Peetie, their two puppy boys
"Why, Jackie is out in the back

Wow. Wont you come in and
have a dog biscuit with a cup OF
broiled bone tea?"
why, yes, thank you, I might,
answered Uncle Wiggily, with a low
ard polite bow. And when he had
finished having a little lunch with
Mrs. Bow Wow the bunny asked:
"What is Jackie practicing?
Chasing his tall" answered the
puppy's mother.
Chasing his tail?' cried Uncle
Wiggily. II thought he could dc
that very well without any prac-
tice."
"Well, you see, he and his broth
er Poetic are to have tail chasing
race next week, when the last day
of school comes" said Mrs. Bow
Wow. "There is to be a little en-
tertainment, and Jackie and Peetie
are to chase their tails as their part
of the fun"
"That sounds real jolly!" laughed
the bunny. "And so Jackie is out
in the yard by himself, chasing his
