URUGUAY IN FAVOR
OF DIVIDING ESTATES
az Associated Pressl

MONTEVIDEO, Dec. 16.-With the
object of forcing the subdivision of the
immense landed estates in Uruguay,
and at the same time to promote agri-
culture and stock breeding, the min
lister of industries, DR.. Luis Caviglia,
has drafted a bill to apply a special
sliding scale land tax upon all estates
of more than 1000 hectares $1,000
acres). The scale slides upward per
thousand hectares, but exemption of
the half or the whole of the tax is
offered if the proprietors comply with
certain conditions to make the land
productive.
The measure is of special interest to
all the countries of the River Plate
in which enormous landed estates,
largely idle and tenaciously held by
their wealthy proprietors, are common,
and thus far legislators have not been
successful in finding constitutional
methods of breaking them up for dis
posal to settlers and small farmers and
preventing their formation in the flu
ture.
The conditions for exemption pro-
posed by DR.. Caviglia are that certain
percentages of the estates be devoted
to agriculture, dairying or stock breed
ing. They fix the standards of the
stock in the case of stock breeding, and
specify what equipment shall be neces-
sary.
The bill will be considered by the
National Council of Administration be-
fore being presented to congress.

.HERRIN MINE TRIAL
Time is SHORTENED

MARION, H., Dec 16-Attorneys
for both state and defense in the trial
of five men charged with murder in
connection with the Herrin riot of
last June today predicted the end of
the trial by the middle of January.
Previous estimate was that the trial
would continue two months.
During the first three days of the
trial testimony has been given by
more than a score of states witnesses.
During the Saturday and Sunday re-
cess that was taken last night the at
torneys said they would go over their
list of witnesses in the hope of mar
terially reducing them.
So far the states witnesses have
pointed to four of the five defendants
as having been seen with guns in
their hands during the riots, but all
have united in the declaration that
they were unable to identify any of
those as participants in the shooting.
The defense has not made clear its
case except for the declaration of A.
w Kerr, chief counsel for the accused
men, that it would prove an alibi for
all of the defendants.
Frank Harrington, head of the IL
linois mine workers, who has been a
spectator at the trial, issued state
ment saying that the union would de-
fend every miner indicted in connec-
ton with the riot

First American Trust
Organized so Years Ago
(BY Cnited Pressl

POMEROY, Ohio. Dec. 16.-Amer-
ica's first trust was conceived, lived
its brief life, flourished, and persisted
here more than a half century ago at
the time when Pomeroy was the salt
capital of the world. Twenty-six COM
panies operated at the time of the
Civil war on the rich salt country near
here on the Ohio and West Virginia
sides of the Ohio river. Then it was
the salt interests headed by R. r. Hud-
son combined on plans which succeed
ing great American businesses have
followed. The Ohio River Salt COM
pany kept an almost continuous pro-
cession of boats going up and down the
river. But dissention crept into the
organization. Bitter legal battles were
provoked and in five years it was dis
integrated. Not even ghost of the
pioneer trust remains.

HEALTH EXAMINATION
OF CHILDREN DURING
VACATION DAYS URGED

CHICAGO. Dec. 16.-The wise par
ent, during the Christmas shopping
period and the season when school
days temporarily are forgotten, will
spend some of that time taking the
child to the doctor, the dentist and
the occulist, recommends Miss Laura
Hooper, psychologist and head of the
department of mental measurement at
the National kindergarten and Ele-
mentary college.
along with the other holiday gifts,
give back to the school child better
fitted to take up his child duties ad-
vises Miss Hooper. "A B >C's are not
the most important thing in a child's
educational life. Why worry over the
fact that Johns report card indicates
poor in spelling, fair in reading,
failing in arithmetic and impossible in
department if you are not to take
time to get at the bottom of the prob
lem?"
Johnnys report card, Miss Hooper
points out, may be no reflection on
Johnny's gray-matter, but on the par
ent who neglects to investigate into
the physical means of transmitting i'm
pressions.
CONDUCT Mental TeStS
Mental tests, according to Miss
Hooper, are taking the place of old
fashioned entrance examinations and
the child is placed in the group for
which his mental age indicates he is
ready. If he is not able to keep w
with this group, he is placed back in
another section. These mental tests
do not measure his accomplishments
along any one line, as reading, writ
ing, ETC., but they do test his ability
to concentrate, to take direction, tC
memorize to sense new situation anG
to act quickly and with judgment tC
criticize his own efforts and to profit
by his mistakes and make adjustments
to the world about him.
IF child can not do justice to {
test which is only of a few minutes
duration, he can not do justice to worl
requiring hours of his time says Miss
Hooper Parents are wise, who. in
stead of blaming Johnny, inquire
whether he has been given a square
deal in the matter of health. The
A B C's," Miss Hooper says, "wil
then take care of themselves"

keep HOLIDAYS FREE
FROM FIRE TRAGEDIES

Observe the following "don'ts" to
keen the holidays from fire tragedies:
Keep the window candle away from
curtains and draperies; never leave
it unmatched
Natural Christmas trees are highly
inflammable and should be placed on
firm base, so there will be no dan
ger of tipping over.
If candles are used as an illumi-
nator. never allow them to burn with
out some grown person on watch. Do
not let the children light them or be
alone with them.
If electric lights are used, consult
some expert as to their distribution
and use.
Puy only non-inflamable decorations
and avoid cotton batting as you would
the plague.
Watch Costumes.
See that the long white beard Of
Santa Claus is fireproof, likewise his
costume.
"Use artificial snow; get the stuff
that will not burn for decoration.
Be careful where you hang the
Christmas wreath; keep it away from
the gas, electric light bulbs and all
CRATES or stoves. Screen all open
fires.
Do not force your CRATES, stoves and
furnaces beyond the safety point,
Be sure that all natural or artificial
gas stoves, hot plates and heating or
cooking implements using this fuel
are vented to the outside, but not
against wood or imflammable ma
terial.
Do not give the children eelluloid
toys-they are dangerous. Only the
other day, a baby poked one into d
flame. The child died
