Brazil Neglected by
British Manufacturer

London.-Brazil has been overlooked
by the British manufacturer, according
to Sir John E. Thornycroft, and the
American tariff is aiding American ex-
porters in that South American repub-,
lie.
Sir John has just returned from a
trip to Brazil, and speaks glowingly of
the latent possibilities of the country.
Brazil is virtually as large as Eu-
rope, and yet there are only about Is
or Is million of inhabitants. There Isl
an enormous wealth in natural re-
sources, anad there are vast areas I'M
southern Brazil suitable for stock,
raising, where the climatic conditions
are good for Europeans, and which.
Germans were exploiting before the,
war Then, again, the extent of Bra
zils mineral wealth is often entirely
overlooked at home. 1t has probably.
the richest iron deposits in the world,
besides diamonds and other precious
stones, which are by no means worked
out"
Sir John expressed the opinion that
"the manufacturing and engineering in.
dustries of Great Britain are doomed
unless we can get some sort of protec~
ton for our home markets, and espe-
cially get the exchange put right, be-
sides removing some Of the disabilities
we are under as regards preferential
tariffc. Owing to the American tariff
policy, the United States succeeded in
getting no fewer than 80 different
classes of manufactured goods put on a
preferential tariff basis for impOrta4
ton into Brazil, and this hits the Brit
ish manufacturer"
Great Britain lost ground, Sir John
Thought, by not sending a naval COM
mission to Brazil at the end of the war.
Americans, on the other hand, took the
opportunity to push forward and are
now firmly established as Brazil's naval
advisers, with a large staff of Amer
lean officers.

POLITICS DON'T
CHANGE ROUTINE
Speaker Gives Comparisons
of Norwegian and AM
erican Women.
AMERICANS ONE MOLD

Kenosha men needn't fear that in
creasing participation of women in
politics will effect much change in
their home life, according to the
philosophy of Nine. Marguerite Somme,
the Morse pianist, who made her
American debut recently
Perhaps woman suffrage hasn't been
tried long enough in this country to
warrant such a conclusion, but it has
in Norway. There it prevailed for a
quarter of century.
Norwegian women" says Nine.
Somme, "take their participation in
public life very calmly. They don't
allow it to interfere with important
things-like cooking three meals a
day and bathing the baby"
Chivalry Isn't Dead.
Neither have Norwegian men lost
their chivalrous attitude toward wom-
en-" Nine. Somme continues, "'nor have
women renowned their right to being
protected by the men. Such things
aren't regulated by law.
"And our industrial life still takes
women into consideration. There are
special factory regulations for them.
In that respect, we don't want equality.
They Have Careers"
"True, many Norwegian women en-
joy Careers They are in every pro-
fession-except the ministry. But not
many are in politics. Our persent par
lament of one hundred fifty members
includes only one woman. However,
when a woman runs for office, usually
she is elected"
American women are very interest
ing and wonderfully gowned, butt
believe Norwegian women have more
individuality" says Nine. Somme. 81
get the impression that the American
womens thoughts, like their gowns,
are too much from one mold.
"Of course this may be because
don't know them very we'll yet and
am overconscious Of their makeup.
They seem to be hiding themselves
behind masks"
Matter of Climate.
AS for her complexion, the Norwe-
gian woman worries little, the pianist
remarks. Perhaps, she thinks, it's a
matter of climate, the Norwegian air
being as favorable seemingly, to white
skin and pink cheeks as to blue eyes
and fiaxen hair
"But undoubtedly" adds Nine. Som
me, "the musical advantages here are
greater. It is every artists ambition
to come to America"

in the Bible" he said in his first SER
mon. "You want religion that is
founded on the golden rule, that's as
old and as reliable as the religion
Confucius taught. That's what we all
need today and that's the kind I'm
going to give you"
Arnold, with his wife and three
daughters had been making his home
here on a large estate formerly used
as training headquarters for well
known pugilist.
"My husband telephoned me from
Jail tonight that perhaps he can dc
some good while there" Mrs. Arnold
said. "My husband made money very
fast. He was generous to the poor of
Madison and did many things for
Madison. Madison is unapprecative

were responsible for her husbands
troubles. She said they brought the
charges against him in order to save
themselves.

the State has apportioned to Kenosha

$48,725. The apportionment shows a
large increase in the number of chill
dren of school age in the county and
the amount returned by the state for
the support of the schools is the
largest amount granted in the history
of the county.
The total fund apportioned to all
parts of the state is $3,103,277. The
amount given to the different coun-
ties in the state is based on the
school population.
Wisconsin Has Many Children.
The apportionment shows SAT, 800
children of school age in the state,
with distribution made on the basis
of 1895 per capita. Of this amount
1886 for each pupil was raised by
the seventeenth mill tax applied to the
general property of the state, while
80 cents came from interest on the
school fund.
Total school funds amounted to 49,
631 POI, of which $119,O51 was a bal
ance on December /, 1922; $3,O65,O85
the mill tax return; 100000 the cor
porate tax; $165,6Q0 the interest on
school district and special loans and
$81 ,459 interest on certificates of in
debtedness.
Deductions from this fund were
made to meet certain specified ex-
penses allowed under the statutes.
These included $6,924 for supplement-
airy apportionments, $108,0OO for trans
portation of school children in 1921;
100000 for salary and expenses of
supervising teachers; $4,000 for pay
ment to first class rural districts;
$4,000 for small school districts; $50
900 for aid to rural teachers, and $780,
900 for transportation of school chill
dren during 1922.
The state pays approximately one
fourth of the expenses of transporta-
ting rural children to their schools,
indicating that there was spent near
ly 100000 during the past year, to
take farm children to and from their
classes. The school transportation
system is said to be growing rapidly.
