FOR LITTLE SCHOOL
Aid Needed at One-Teacher In.
structiOn Centers Now.
The Little Red SchOOlhOuse
Has Hampered EducatiOn7

Boston, July 5.-The cult OF the
little red school house" has been a
serious obstacle to educational prog
ress in this country. Miss Fannie w.
Dunn of Columbia university. said to-
day in an address before the depart
ment of rural education, National Ed
ucation association, here. Despite ef-
forts at consolidation during the last
quarter of a century. she said. nearly
100000 one-teacher schools remain in
the United States. 1t was hoped to
reduce this number to 10000.
Since SO large a proportion OF our
population is now receiving its educa-
ton in schools of this type. and since
it appears that a considerable number
will continue to depend on them, 1t is
proper to consider them as distinct
agency of education, rather than to
ignore and neglect them in our con-
structive programs" Miss Dunn said.
'It is urgently important to con-
slider their contribution to education
in the past and their potentialities and
limitations as educational agencies for
the future.
when all has been done that can
be done in the way of reorganization
or invention of new materials and
methods of instruction and supervi-
sion for these small rural schools,
when their potentialitieS have been
realized, and when their limitations
have been counteracted, we must ask
wherein lies the future service of the
one-teacher school. Under what con-
ditions. finally, should it be permitted
to persist ?''

FELL TO DEATH
Tulsa Professional Parachute
Jumper Killed as Strap Broke.
Half an Hour Before Crowd
Realized the Tragedy.

Seneca, Mo-, July 5.-A coroner's
inquest is set for today to investigate
the death of Will Spain, professional
parachute jumper of Tulsa, Okla,
who plunged more than 1000 feet to
his death lato yesterday afternoon,
after leaping from an airplane.
Hundreds gathered at a park.
watched the airplane climb in circles
until it appeared to be little more than
a speck and then saw a small object
drop from the side of the plane, but
none realized it was Spain, believing
something had been thrown off, and
it was half an hour later before news
of his death spread.
Spain landed on a hill and farmer
found his body. It's condition indi-
Gated death had been instantaneous.
"A broken belt with which he had
been strapped to the parachute ap-
parently explained the cause of the
tragedy.
H v. Smoot of Joplin, pilot of the
airplane. said when Spain gave the
signal he slowed down and an instant
later Spain leaped. The parachute
did not open and Smoot followed it
to the ground, not knowing that
Spain's belt had broken.
The accident brought to an abrupt
halt a Fourth OF July celebration that
was being held in a park, the para
chute jump being part OF the pro-
gram.

DEATH FROM FUN
Sham Battle at Pittsburg Scene
of a Fatal Shooting.
Two Wounded, One Killed
Steel Jacketed Bullet Found.

Pittsburg, Kan, July 5.-Investiga-
ton which continued thru last night
had failed this morning to place the
blame for the tragedy in Pittsburg' s
Fourth of July celebration which
caused the death of one person and
the injury of two others.
Glenn Harry, 1S years old, of Pitts
burg, was instantly killed while in a
crowd at Lincoln park watching a
sham battle staged by members of
the American Legion. An autopsy re-
vea1ed a steel jacketed bullet.
Mrs. Charles DePuy of near Pitts
burg, was hit by a bullet or the same
bullet in the neck and slightly in
jured. Edward O'Connor, Pittsburg
policeman also suffered a minor
wound. The three victims were
standing near each other in the crowd
and it is possible, officers said that
one bullet struck all three of the vic
tins.
The tragedy occurred just at the
start of the sham battle. 1t had not
been definitely established this morn
ing that the bullet came from the
rifle of a, participant in the battle al
tho officers were inclined to that view.
If it did not, they believe that a per-
son unbalanced did the shooting into
the crowd.

Modern Car Selling.

It isn't often in this day and age
of keen competition in selling auto
mobiles that a salesman manages to
put over a new kind of sales stunt.
The report floats in from the agency
ot a popular priced car in the west
that one salesman has not only hung
up a record for speedy work, but has
discovered a new type of customer as
well.
1t seems that upon receiving one Of
the manufacturers latest models-a
snappy roadster-he was so impressed
by the job that he turned her loose
on the highway. According to Hoyle,
the soft purring of the exhaust was
soon jazzed by the harsh popping of
what the salesman recognized as
motorcycle. Who rode the motor
cycle was perfectly evident. but the
salesman had a new idea, which he
concluded was worth the risk of
fine.
The upshot of it was that when the
motorcycle finally caught up with the
car. after a hot chase. covering sev-
eral miles, the guardian Of highway
decorum put away his little red note
book and asked for a catalogue. A
half hour later he had bought the car
himself, satisfied with the demon
stration."
This achievement in salesman ship
is worthy of record. but car owners
will please not copy. Judging from
experience, motorcycle cops are sell
dom in the market for used cars.

The Old Mechanic SAYS:

That job had truin' up the spokes
of Joe Browns wire wheels has got
me thinking about wheels and the
troubles motorists occasion by abusin'
them. When a driver let's in his
clutch suddenly everybody starts
pointing out the damage he'll do to
the rear axle, the universals. the pin
ion and ring gear and the tires. They
never speak of the wheels. I guess
that's because they never stop to con-
sIder the strain at the hub of a wheel
even when car is starting Off gently.
The driving force at the hub has to
be transmitted to the rim. through
the spokes in the case of a wire or
wood wheel and through the disc In
the case of the steel wheel.
III you don't believe there's a great
strain at this point. just watch what
happens to a cheap wire wheel that
is not properly designed to meet this
hub strain. A few good, sudden
starts will snap spoke: In we'll
doesn't happen. but the strain is there
known by eventually causing damage
to the wheel in general. In the case
of the wire wheel the strain gets the
wheel out of true. With wood wheels
the spokes get loose and creak.
Haven't had much experience with
disc wheels. because they're pretty
new. but they're bound to show up
some damage in time as a result of
abuse. The way some motorists mall
treat their wheels you'd think they
had as many spare ones back home in
the garage as they have in their
heads"

Keeping out of street car tracks is
reminder mentioned frequently in
connection with care of tires. but 1t
applies to the safety of the driver as
well. The habit Of driving in car
tracks leads logically to driving In
switches Here tires are not only
damaged, but the front or rear wheels
are quite likely to Jump the switch"
Something approximating a skid Is
the result. including all of its haz-
ards When the tracks are wet the
driver may find himself powerless to

dashes the latter's hopes by saying

When Cars Are Stolen.

Judging from the number of cars
which have been stolen while the
owners Just dropped into the, bank
for a minute" 1t Is evident that the
peak hour" for stealing cars Is d
minute or two after the owner has
left his car and disappeared into a
shop or office building. Whatever
mission the owner is on will require
at least five minutes Of his time. The
thief makes an effort to get away
with the car In these few minutes Of
grace, and. II failing. departs before
the owner returns.
But thieves seldom fail to ret any
particular car they are after, particu-
larly II they have watched the owner
carefully and know his habits. The
wise car owner. therefore, makes II q
rule to look back at the car Z few
minutes after leaving 1t. Usually this
can be done without attracting the
attention Of the thief. and is there
fore both a precaution and al means
of catching the thief in the act.
