Main Levee Breaks
Mississippi River Dixie Gives Way
Four Miles Above Louisiana
Town

Nachez, Miss, April 27.-The tele-
phone exchange at Ferriday, La, re-
ported last night that the Wecama
levee, four miles above the town, had
broken. This is the main line of the
Mississippi river levee.
Ferriday is a town of 500 inhabi-
tants, nearly all of whom moved to
higher ground several days ago, al
though some returned later. Most
of those on the ground, however, are
men engaged in flood fighting and
telephone girls who remained at their
posts.

1920, while June 10, 1921. Lon
don had only 7.470,l6S, leaving
New York the leader by 344.50s.
These figures do not apply to
either London proper or New
York proper, but TO what Is
dominated the metropolitan area
Of both. But since Isondon's
population, upon which British
supremacy is claimed, is found
within the metropolitan area. ex-
tending 10 miles in a radius OF
which Charing Cross is the cen
ter, New York's population is
claimed for an area of similar
extents with New York City Hall
as the center.
1t is only the population in
what the New York committee
calls London 's outer ring, COM
prising suburban along with
urban areas. that gives the
British capital a fighting chance
for the honor of leading the
worlds great cities. If New
York 5 statistics cannot be m-
peachcd, there seems nothing for
London to do but gracefully sub
nit. perhaps with the comment
that since America has taken the
worlds gold il might as well
have the largest city to 90 with
IL.

EDUCATION THEN AND NOW

just as certain habits remain
even after they are no longer
necessary or useful, so are ideas
an dconvictions often entertained
when they are no longer founded
in fact. A man who spends much
time out of doors will ofen when
lighting a match in the house,
shield the tiny flame from the
wind from which he has been ac-
customed to shield it out-of doors.
Ideas acquired in early youth,
valid though they may have been
at the time, will often be carried
DER to a period Of time and into
conditions in which, as little
reflection would show, they have
no validity whatever.
The much talked of three RS
are case in point There were
once the foundation of all ele-
mentary education. For the vast
majority there was nothing more
to education than the three X $.
They began with them, and end
cd with them. They served fully
the purposes educators OF that
day had in mind.
So did the stage coach and the
two -masted schooner. In an age
which did not know fast trains
and automobiles and airplanes
these earlier means cf travel
were quite adequate. Just as IN
an earlier stage of education the
three Rs were not so inadequate.
The question of what is good
for the school child must be con-
sidered not only from the noint
Of iw eof the past; mucf will be
lost If a great deal of thought
is not given TO his present needs.

LEARNING FROM FORD

Every business man, from the
proprietor of a crossroads store
TO the industrial magnate. can
learn something from Henry
Ford. because Ford's success is
the greatest in history.
Ford makes automobiles and
sells them cheaper Than anybody
else. lie makes and sells as
many several times over as all
the other automobile makers in
the world. Doubtless Ford could
easily convince himself that his
automobiles are worth much more
than he asks for them. The re-
suit would be failure through
the greatest pitfall of modern
business.
But that isn't the Ford psy-
chology. Ford says he always
set his prices at what people
could afford to pay for his auto
mobiles, and they were always
far below what it cost him TO
make them when he set the prices.
He was forced to cut costs to
meet the price he had set. The
result is the most efficient in
dustry ever conceived by man
and a fortune for Ford of hun
dreds Of millions.
For the young man who.
peeved because his employer does
not recognize his ability" does
not make 4 supreme effort to
thoroughly master his job first,
and collect afterward, there is
also 1 lesson in this.

consequent reorganizing required.
Mr.. Weeks said the House bin

Mr.. Weeks said he had been

and educational value of mill
