Tigert Defends Mountain
People of Kentucky at
N. E. A. Meeting

Chicago,--A plea that American edu-
cational institutions place greater
stress on "the old fashioned virtues of
honesty, justice and decency" and less
on the subjects generally termed
"highbrow," was made by John j..
Tigert, United States Commissioner of
Education in an address before the
National Education Association de-
partment of superintendents conven-
ton.
along with modern thought, then we
had better. dismantle our splendidly
equipped institutions and return to the
old log school house." said Mr.. Tigert.
In the words of famous evangelist.
I would rather have my boy in heaven
learning his A B C's than in hell
reading Latin and Greek We had
better have citizens who have charac-
ter and little erudition than citizens
whose knowledge is peril to society.
THE man who discovered that sur
gical instruments should be sharp
made an important discovery but
much more important was the discov-
cry that they should be steriiized Bet
ter to have dull knife that is clean
than sharp one that is foul.
Germany showed US plainly the
evil OF education for culture and ef-
ficiency without proper social atti-
tude. Germany raised the efficiency
OF education in the nth power, but
this efficiency was objected into a
spring at the throat of the world and
brought on a pentecost of calamity
that almost destroyed civilization.
"A learned man has said that 4,200
college professors caused the World
War, and he refers to the 1900 pro-
fessors who so efficiently taught the
Germans that might is right we
are supermen and God demands de-
struction of the weaker people about
us and now abide faith, hope and hate
and the greatest of these is hate
'Illiterates are not all bad citizens
nor are they altogether inefficient. MOI
is anything farther from the truth than
the general belief that our illiterates
are mostly negroes and the mountain
whites of the South The real centers
of illiteracy are the big manufacturing
States, Massachusetts,, New York
Pennsylvania and Illinois.
ut is unfair to criticize the whites
of Kentucky, Tennessee and North
Carolina because their educationa
standards are low.
abraham Lincoln was one of these
\ people. They may be illiterate, but
/ they are splendidly efficient as citi-
zens. These mountain people won the
battle of Kings Mountain in the darl
| hours of American history. They de-
| stroyed the flower of the British army
\ fresh from campaigns against the
/ armies of Napoleon at New Orleans
And note the three heroes selected by
/ General Pershing as the country's
/ greatest and assigned to the burial OF
| the unknown soldier-Sergeant Wood
| fill, Kentucky mountaineer, Sergeant
1 York, a Tennessee mountaineer and
| jor Wh!ttlesey of New York.
I'VE have not yet learned to teach
citizenship to our boys and girls. We
must teach respect for the flag, we
must teach the principles of our Gov
ernment and American history in a
far more effective way.
Americans are intensely patriotic
but through ignorance they render
less respect for their flag and their
country than any other peoples"

of her experience of the night hetore, CHAPTER III
 Mrs, Tudors cottage was the smallest and least pretentious of the colony but invitations to her small affairs" were eagerly sought after
 Fay had gone to a guest room on an upper story hut tho music reached her even there, and the laughter and hum Of voices and whir- ring of arriving motors made her treacherous nerves quiyer, ...
 After hopeless effort she throw her book aside, If she could only es- cape from the house to q secluded nook where she could be undlscov- cred. she felt that the cool air would refresh her.
 Like moving shadow she elided past the teahonse and to the edge of the wood.
 All at once she became aware Of the crunch of gravel upon the path. They were dragging, halting steps, with an odd sort Of thump in be- tween: surely not made by the light feet of any of the dancers!
 In a moment a lesser shadow de- tached itself from the deeper ones and the girl saw to her amazement that the intruder was man on crutches. Could 1t be the miscreant who had invaded the hose and gar age two nights before?
 She had turned to hec, when 2 low, vaguely familiar voice fell upon her ears.
 Miss Tudor! Miss Tudor, are you here?"
 Captain Warren. Oh, am so glad you found me-"
 4 hand was lifted from the rung of the crutch and casped hers warm ly. T did not know your people were giving a dance tonight or l should not have intruded heard that you had returned and l wanted so much to see you. I've been staying with friends in the neighborhood, but l am ledving tomorrow"
 Tt was good of you to come.' There was shocked note of pity in the girls tone. The man who had come to her in Paris, her brothers friend had been no cripple.
 "Tell me all that has happened since l saw you in Paris"
 This you mean?" He indicated the crutch "I got it in the Argonne. However, l hope to discard my propA before long and get about as well as before. l heard that you had been very ill."
 Just breakdown Fay's tone was lighter than it had been for a long time T never knew that l had nerves before
 He nodded.
 Il know. I've felt that way, too"
 There was an unconscious wistful- ness in his tone
 'I could not speak of your broth CTS things to you in Paris" he went on T knew that it would distress you too much then: but l had saved them for you and l was sure that you would want them"
 'I do: more than anything else in the world they are precious to me- She spoke very low. and there was a pause. After q time she asked in

 The Bowling Contest.
 Although. probably not consistent with good manners, nevertheless it is the regrettable truth that the ink singers and pencil pushers adminis- tered drubbing to the gas dis pensers. The score stood 1341 to 1290 in favor of The Herald bunch.

PUT STOMACH IN FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results from an Excess Of HydrochlOric
 Acid.

Undigested food. delayed in the stomach decays or rather. ferments the same as food left in the open air, says noted authority He also tells US that Indigestion is caused by Fly per-acidity, meaning. there is an ex- cess of hydrochloric acid in the stom- ach which prevents complete diges- tion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel q heavy, lumpy misery in the chest. we belch up gas, we eructate sour food or have heartburn, flatulence, water-hras or nausea.
 He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead get from any phar- macy four ounces of lad Salts and take tablespoonful in q glass of Wa ter before breakfast and drink while 1t is effervcscing and furthermore, to continue this for week. While re- lief follows the first dose, if is i'm portant to neutralize the acidity. re- move Llle SdS-IldhlH6 HldSS, StdIi 'll' liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices.
 Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia and sodium phosphate This harmless salts is used by thousands ot people for stomach trouble with excellent results.

 FAY TUDOR, wealthy orphan, returns from reconstruction work In France to recover from a nervous breakdown, the result Of overwork and the news of the death of her brother Wilbur.

 KENNETH CLAYTON. Alone in the draw Ing room on the night of her return Fay Is startled by the sudden appearance of a vanishes and Fay fears that her war shocked nerves have trcked her.
 GO ON WITH TIE STORY
 They might even think that her brain was affected by the horrors through which she had passed
 After breakfast she wandered off alone down the winding side path which led to the shore.
 Fay" A masculine voice sound . ed close to her. She started violent ly. her unstrung nerves dangling again. A dapper young man in i'm maculate fannels with bit of blond mustache above his weak mouth, stood beside her. "Awfully sorry I startled you. Laurel told me you were home, and l thought I might find you out here; l remembered it was favorite spot of yours.'
 T find l have forgotten most things that were habits before l went away" Fay retorted coolly.
 T suppose l was one of the habits which you have forgotten, too, Fay" You were" she returned frankly. Until Laurel told me you were at the club, I had forgotten that you were even alive"
 Cadmus winced but persisted.
 You are quite sure? There is not a live spark among the ashes?"
 There aren't even ashes." Fay picked up a few grains of sand and blew them lightly from her palm "They are gone like-that."
 He sighed sentimentally. but light of something very like relief gim- mered in his pale eyes. There was hint of amusement in her face.
 "Cheer up, Harry. This is too nice . morning for post mortems. That's the sheriff, isn't it? Who is the young man with him?"
 She nodded down the beach to where tall, thin man with grzzed mustache was talking to a younger, boyish-looking stranger.
 "A police official from the city named Larry or Barry or some thing" Harry Cadmus responded He came up to the club yesterday to make some inquiries"
 'Inquiries?" Fay repeated. About what?"
 Somebody's maids were scared a night or two ;.go by something they took to be a wild man" Cadmus laughed. They'd heard talk, [ sup pose, because some seat cushions and a steamer rug were stolen from Pear sails launch. Old Huise hasn't had anything to interest him since the Patterson robbery a year ago, and he is determined to earn his pay.'
 Fay was silent. A wild man. What If that face But she put the thought resoluteiy from her.
 AS the two moved off her eyes fol- lowed them idly.
 ''Do you know, there used to be
