provement in the rubber and steel In

this week. Reports from Akron. the
hub of the rubber Industry, indicate
that steady increase in production
has taken plase. The output now
has reached point equal to the peak
of last years production.
Steel ingot production in the Ma
hOning valley mills has Increased
slightly. and now is running between
so and 55 per cent of capacity. Prices
generally are firm, but there has been
some shading on bars and shapes
with orGers closed at 1.30 cents Pitts
burgh base. One of Cleveland's auto
mobile factories has reached capacity
production, another reports business
fully equal to that of a year ago,
while two others report that orders
are increasing RAPIDLY, and already
are far ahead of those for similar
period of 1921. Still another COM
pany is contemplating an increase in
price early in March.
The Ohio public utilities commiS
sion reports that there was an IN
crease of 1.S9 per cent in the electric
power used in Cleveland IN January
compared with the corresponding
month last year. and this tendency is
noticeable in all the industrial cen
terS of northern Ohio. This is be-
lieved to be an accurate Indication of
increasing activity.

Heavy Rains Southwest
Save Millions in Wheat
BY DICK SMITH.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Speclal Dispatch TO The Star.
KANSAS CITY, February 23-Rain
has brought rejoicing to the wheat
Lelt, especially Kansas, where a
downpour early this week broke the
longest winter droughts on record.
In many sections high winds have
been blowing the dry, unpacked soil
away, and with it the wheat. The
rain has stopped this and saved mil
lions of acres that were on the verge
OF ruin.
Business generally in this section
| is marking time. The winter sales
have ended and the spring business
has not yet opened up. But, with the
wheat outlook improved, an op-
timistic feeling prevails among both
wholesalers and retailers.
Kansas oil reiners are protesting
against present freight rates, which
they assert discriminate in favor of
Wyoming products in the Colorado
markets, and appeals have been made
from Wichita to the Interstate Conf
merce Commission.
The oil industry is facing long
period of prosperity, according to a
statement today by Frank W. t'ru-
cauff, vice president of the Cities
Service Company, which, with its sub
salaries, is one of the large Inde-
pendent producers of the midconti-
nent field. He said he looked for no
decline in prices this spring. as the
| indica tions pointed 10 a constantly IN
creasing demand for refined products.

One hundred and thirty-six year

One hundred and thirty-six years
ago Thomas jefferson wrote
"Preach a crusade against igno-
rance; establish and improve the
law for educating the common peo-
pie. Let our countrymen know
that the people alone can protect
US against these evils; and that the
tax which will be paid for this pur-

FATHERS PLANNED WELL.
It IL fitting that. nearly a cen.
tury and a half later, on the first
day Of American Education Week,
we should remember these words of
one of Americas greatest edu.
Gators as well as one Of her great
est Presidents.
The position of the United States
In the world today IL due in no
small part to the fact that even
before the war for independence
was won men like jefferson were
planning for the development of
a nationwide system of free pub
lie schools and universities in order
that our new.won freedom might
be wisely used. They recognized
that ignorance Is the chief enemy
Of freedom; that II distorts human
relationships by making mutual un-
derstanding impossible: that II
strangles progress because 1t sub
stitutes prejudice for facts and pas.
sion for thought.
All honor Is due the fathers Of
our country for laying the founda.
tions for a system OF public edu.
cation which should insure ma.
tional progress. But there n dam
ger that In contemplating what was
done In The past we may overlook
the needs Of the present. The pur-
pose Of American Education Week
Is not to congratulate ourselves
upon what has already been accom-.
piished In education, but rather to

needs to be done In order to carry
forward the plans laid down by our
forefathers for the education OF
all the people.
American Education Week Is the
time for telling the facts about
American education. And some of
the fundamental facts that need to
be emphasized are first. that AL
of the people" are not being edu-
Gated. On the contrary. over 6.000.-
900 children between the ages of
s and IS. one-fourth Of all in the
country. are not in any school.
Secondly. according to the United
or one-sixth Of the total population
Gates that this figure Is even larger.
Thirdly. public schools are being
closed for lack of teachers and lack
of funds for carrying them on.

Let our countrymen know" said
jefferson. that the tax which will
be paid for this purpose (education)
Is not more than a thousandth part
of what will be paid IL we leave

With 100000 illiterate. adults and
5000, 900 children not in school. that
sentence Is as true today and as
pertinent as in 1886 when It was
written. What is needed Is funds
and yet more funds for the educa'
ton of all the people. II we be-
lieve In education we must be will
ing to support 1t. Such support Is
a far more stupendous task than
II was in the days of Jefferson, and
the failure to give such support Ia
fraught with far more serious con.
sequences to the future Of this coun.
try.
The people OF America. therefore,
on this first Sunday of American
Education Week are asked to conse.

that we may grow In power and in
