Islanders by Thousands
Flock to the Home of
7~s=--~---===~-v-uv----Miraele-Healer

San Juan, P. R., Aug. 1O.--Extra
policemen have been detailed for
duty at San Lorenzo to help handle
the crowds drawn there from We'd
nesday night to late Friday eacn week
by the stories of apparent cures by
Julita Vazquez, the "healer Of San
Lorenzo"
Hundreds, if not thousands, Of au-
tomobiles carrying the sick, lame
and curiuos have been visiting San
Lorenzo and SO great have beer the
tlaf1ic jams that there have been
complaints to the police that the San
Lorenzo road was impossible. On
Thursday, July 20, there was line
of motors two miles long on each
side of the roadway waiting for peo-
pie who are rapidly wearing into a
broad train the cow path that leads
up the steep hills to the spring from
which the supposedly healing waters
come.
Thousands go by motor to the
"healer" and more thousands on foot.
From Caguas and other nearby towns
there has sprung up a regular motor
service to and from the place of
miracles" People go by truck loads.
They go in carriages, carts and some
are carried. Stories of miracles"
are spread with wonderful rapidity
through the crowd each day, and
there are reports of people coming
from Santo Domingo or the Virgin
Islands to get the waters blessed by
the healer" Some make a fiesta
of it; others are almost reverential
The healing spring is about a
mile from the town where the "heal-
err lives. Near the spring a palm
covered pavilion sheltering 400 to
800 people has been erected There
Thursdays and Fridays the healer
sits in chair on raised platform
and receives the sick. Waters from
the spring lack healing qualities un-
til she has blessed or magnetized
them. After being blessed the water
is carried away in bottles, buckets,
oil cans, anything. And each person
the healer" sees is told to bathc, rub
the afflicted portion of the body with
the water, or drink so much of it at
certain times.
Frequently the healer" is aroused
from her frances with great difficulty.
Her father and brother assist her.
Her power" is supposed to have
been passed on to her, while the
spring waters for many years have
been reputed to have healing quail
tics. IT vas about two months ago
that the healer" first attracted at
tention. Since then her fame has
spread throughout the island.

years for burglary and larceny, hav-
ing been sent up from Charleston. es.
capped from the penitentiary some time
yesterday, prison officials announced
after a thorough search of the pen;

missed it was thought that he was
hiding out, but a clcse investigation
OF every possible hiding place failed
to disclose him.
Capt. c. c. Roberts, head of the
prison guard, was Of the opinion last
night that Siero rode out of the peu-
itentiary under truck, having Sc

long and a fresh knife wound in his
left side about five inches long.
The fresh knife wounds were re-
ceived by Siero recently in a fight
at the prison. He had been unable to
work since he was wounded and was
in the chapel yesterday with several
others who were not working.
Captain Roberts was clipped OFF,

Educators to Reform the
Little Red Schoolhouse"

New, York, Aug. 1O,-Add to thc
list Of idols smashed to smithereen.
by the efficiency of modern scient {
that quaint institution of American,
rural life-the l'ittle red school
house"-now denounced by education
al experts of Columbia University as
"a danger to national progress"
Experiments conducted for the p.st
year in tiny school in Warren coun.
ty, n. j., have proved to DR.. Fannie
Dunn, of Teachers College, Columbia,
that the problems attending the evils
of the "cult of the little red school,
house," as DR.. Dunn calls it, can be
solved by the same methods that have
brought progress in teaching tk,
young of the cities chow to shoot"
Forty-four pupils attended the typ
ical schoolhouse in Warren county.
which was seven miles from a trunk
line railroad, two miles from post
Office, and out in the open country.
A single teacher was forced t. in
truct eight grades. There are y:ill
100000 similar schools in the urited
States, just 100000 too many, Co
lumbia educators say. They nope
20 cut the number to 10000. Changes
that seem appallingly revolutionary
to Americans who remember the rigid
plaster-cast demeanor that was ex-
acted of every country schoolboy who
was forced to attend the little red
schcolhouse f years ago, are recon-
mended for those one-teacher insti-
tutions that will remain. Unrestrict.
ed movement about the room, the in
stallation of pupil helpers for the
teacher, more chubby" spirit
among the youngsters, and the appli-
cation of the "automat" idea in
teaching the children to gain a large
part of the education themselves from
the school library, are part of tn
new plan evolved from the Warro
county tests.
Despite Whittier's legend of the ta
nous schoolboy of the "l'il red bull:
ing" whose "feet of tan" hetokened
splendid health, Professor Thomas w.
Wood Of the Eye Sight Conservation
Council of America, who is interest
ed in the experiments, says that 81
percent of the pupils in rural schools
in New York state have health de-
fects, as opposed to ~ percent of un-
healthy city children. In the whole
United States, DR.. Wood says, 49,
100000 of the 24,OOO,OOO school chill
dren have bodily defects.
So depressing are the faults o.
the country schools, the experts say
that much of the congestion of tn
c;'ies results from the inability 20
make country life attractive. Effort.
are now being made through meet
ings at Columbia of such educators
as Miss Charl C. Williams, recent
president of the National Education
Association; Mrs. Katherine Cook, of
the Federal Bureau of Education and
DR.. Kenyon l.. Butterfeld, president
of Massachusetts Agricultural COL
legc, to bring about the changes in
rural education that will end the
plant of the modern schoolboy:
"I'm getting Oh so sick
Of reading and arithmetic
That's why, we gave the teache.
the sack,
and, we're never gonna come back
If she doesn't like it she can Sit
a tack,
We've got the schoolhouse blues"

HIGHAM POINTS US.
TO RUSSIAN TRADE
Urges Entente With England
to Keep Gold Nine Away
From the Germans.

Renewing his plea for domination of
the world markets by Great Britain and
the United States, Sir Charles Higham
in an address yesterday at luncheon OF
advertising men at the Cafe des Beaux
Arts said that cooperation between the
two countries would mean getting trade
that is in danger of being diverted TO
Germany. He pointed TO Russia as a
great gold mine" that American and
British business men were allowing Ger
many to snatch away.
Sir Charles is one of the leading ad-
vertis!ng men in England and was
knighted for his services in this capac-
ity during the war. He is here as the
official representative of Lord North
cliffe to extend formal invitation to
the Associated Advertising Club of the
World. who meet in convention in Mil
waukee June 10 to IA. to hold their
1924 convention in London. Speaking
of the general trade situation, he said:
There Is a market for you America n
sales in England. Cash In on 1t. 1t Is
trade. We have got the place for you,
we have a love for YOU. we have the
money to pay. Why don't you come
over there You will see why it is
Higham asks you to come over and
take the Englishman's money. ! will
tellyo why. We will get something OFT
of it. too. You will find we make thing;
you do not make, and that We will make
a market in your country also
But there is something more inn
portant-something that l fear we will
not do If we do not pull together-and
that is. catch the markets of the world.
We had common enemy. Both coun-
Iris are trying to forget. But what was
the use of more than a million of our
men and some sixty thousand of yours
laying down their lives on the battle
fields of France for a common cause If,
when you have done it. you are going
10 give back to the enemy the trade of
the world?
Il do not believe you are going to let
the gold mine of Russia slip out of the
hands of the English speaking peoples
I do not believe you will let the trade
you have already established there go
to Germany. l say this with no bitter
feeling toward the common enemy.
What l say is this: They went out for
world ACKNOWLEDGMENT and we stopped
them with blood The advertising meh
Of both countries can win the trade OF
the world with words"
INctut ~ hiC toplC VI tIdQc Teld-
IONS between the two countries. Sir
Charles said:
THE United States must no longer be
insular. You can no longer take in
each others washing. You have got TO
sell your goods wherever you can find a
market because you have unemploy-
'ment. In England you. have got a peo-
pie who like you and love you. During
the war you sent millions of your men.
some Of whom were among your best.

homes. and have vet to find a single

at Higher Prices.

The American Woolen Company re-
placed yesterday at higher prices the
remainder of it's lines withdrawn two
weeks ago. In department No. 4. or
women's wear fabrics. prices on wor-
steds We're advanced IA to 81 cents a

yard. Staple woolens In department No.
&c were adjusted to to SIS cents a
yard higher and uniform and speciality
fabrics in department No. S-A to 2la TO
60 cents yard more. The advances do
not reflect the full rise in raw wool
quotations. the company announced. and
II the market continue its upward surge,
IL may be necessary to readjust values

With the American Woolen Company s
action.

Work Clothes Cali Increasing.

Reflection of increasing industrial
activities Is seen in greater demand for
work clothes. The largest producer of
overalls, work pants and shirts reports
this years business in them as con-
siderably In advance of that of last
year. Retailers shelves are bare and
retailers are covering their future re-
quirements more freely, although fol-
lowing conservative course. Distress
goods are well liquidated and prices are
stiffening because of an advancing pri-
mary market. With an increased pur-
chasing power. workers feel less dis
posed to wear patched clothes, the
manufacturer said. The increased de-
mand has brought about appreciable inn
provement in collections.
The New York herald., 1922-06-06
Dress Season opens Soon.

A seasonal lull in business Is being ex-
perienced by the dress manufacturing
trade. Autumn samples are being pre-
pared and out of town Jobbers are ex-
pected to arrive here in the next week
TO look over the new lines and place
their orders. Statesmen will depart
Tor the retail field in the middle Of this
month and are confident that they will
receive a satisfactory volume of orders.
Retail stocks are believed to require
replenishment on larger scale. Canton
crepe. satin faced canton and poiret
twill are expected to be in active de-
nnand in the new season.
The New York herald., 1922-06-06
Clock Trade Improving.

3 The clock industry has recovered cons
si6erably in the last several months.
The small but steadily increasing de-
mand on stores for clocks has made
large gaps in retail stocks of them and
retailers are refilling their reserves.
Business with manufacturers has been
much better than it was year ago.
Tambour and other chime clocks are
moving readily. and there Is a sn,aI.
demand for the general line of goods.
Along with the betterment in the
domestic business a slight improvement
in the. export field Is noted. Australia
is steady customer, and there Is a
sprinkling of buying by other coun-
tries. notably South American.

Thrown SILK Demand spotty.

Demand for thrown silk Is best de-
scribed as spotty. Hosiery interests are
the largest buyers, but the call from the
knitting tie and sweater trades is inac-
tive. The syndicate's recent action IN
unloading an enormous quantity OF silk
ON the market has operated 10 weaken
quotations on thrown silk and they have
fallen off 80 to 35 cents a pound. ac-
cording to a prominent factor. Wito the
Iiuuidation of the syndicate silk. the
factor expects the thrown silk market
