DANIELS SAYS LANE WRONCO
 CABINET TALK

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-That former Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane had misunderstood the purport of a conversation held at one Of Will sons cabinet meetings, as described in Lanes posthumous letters which are being published in New 4ork, was the statement made yesterday by Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy in the Wilson cabinet, in a telegram sent from North Carolina to the Associated Press Daniels ex- plained in his message that when he said at the cabinet meeting that the convoy system was too dangerous, he meant that the British considered it safer for merchantmen to go separ- ately from the naval vessels. Daniels states that Wilson declared against this to the British agent, a statement which Daniels repeated to Admiral Sims, with the result that the British adopted the convoy system.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-What is declared to be the most drastic order ever issued by the car service dlvi- sion of the American Railway Associ- ation was that sent yesterday when Eastern railroads were called upon to return at once all box cars belonging to Western lines which are now on the lines of the Eastern railroads.

DISCOVERY OF ABILITY IS GREATEST PROBLEM
 SAYS NINN. EDUCATOR

SEATTLE, Oct. 26.-The discovery of the gifted child through the use of intelligence tests is the most i'm portant work an educator can do, ac- cording to Dean M. E. Haggerty of the college of education of the Uni versity of Minnesota, who spoke to the students of education at the Univer- sity of Washington recently.
 Waste in education due to the fail ure to stimulate the gifted child is most serious, Dean Haggerty says. The discovery of the gifted child is more valuable in education than work done from sunrise to sunrise for the subnormal child who will never ad- vance.
 A way of enriching education rather than speeding progress should be found. It would be better, he said, to send the abnormal child on than to keep him back with children of duller intellect.
 The intelligence tests, Dean flag gerty said, should improve and cor rect the judgment of the teacher.

DETROIT, Oct. 26.-The importance of aeronautical development from the standpoint of the nations bankers, the United States postal service, and the business men of the country was stressed here recently by speakers at the First National Air Institute.

 The speaker said his department hoped to move mail by airplane con- tinuously from New York to San Francisco.
 The business men of the nation are demanding speed and for this reason the air transport is challen- ging the attention of commerce and industry as new factor in the na- tional business problem, declared J. Rowland Bibbins, manager of the de- partment of transportation and com' cunications of the U. s. Chamber of Commerce.
 ' Edmund Ely of New York, presi- dent of the National Aircraft Under writers Association, another speaker. declared the country's insurance com panies welcomed elimination of stunt flying, declaring such thrills have re- suited in accidents that retarded de- velopment of American aviation.
