r. P. Scobee, of Winchester, has
sold the Kentucky Greyhound Racing
Association twenty acres of land in
Rosedale Park, Latonia. Covington.
This plot of ground is to be used as
race track for greyhound racing.

ILLlTERACY IN CUBA

creased 1875 per cent between 1907
and 1919, and among blacks 1913

by Diario de la Marina of data
contained in the 1919 SUDAN CEN
sus, which has just been made pub
lie. The paper points out that this
increase in illiteracy occurred
while Cuba enjoyed self govern

ment, and declares that it indicates
a fundamental crash; failure of
the Cuban school system.
The following. figures are quoted
by Diario de la Marina to substan-
tiate Its analysis. The 1907 census
showed that 70.5 per cent of native
white and 69.9 of native black
children could read and write. The
1919 tables showed a decrease in
these percentages to $751; and 47.6,
respectively.
In pointing the moral of its an
alysis, the paper asserts that this
illiteracy imperils the republic, for
the ignorant children of 1919 will
soon be the citizens who will di-
rect the country's destinies.

viii Determine the Fastest
of the Great Steamships
Assigned to Southampton.
New York Run.
(By The Associated Press. J

London, Aug. 20.-"An Ocean
Derby" will be held on the Atlantic
this summer to determine the fast
est Of the great liners on the South
ampton-New York run. The posi-
ton of the vessels in this contest
for the Atlantic blue riband is as
follows, the figures denoting the
I best speed for whole voyage dur
ing the current season:
/. Mauritania, 25.29 knots.
2. Majestic, 24.02 knots.
8. Berengaria, 1888 knots.
4. Aquitania, 23.2S knots.
5. Olympic, 22.55 knots.
6. Homeric, 1859 knots.
All these vessels, with the eXcep-
ton of the Homeric, burn oil fuel.
Thus, as we'll as settling the speed
championship, the race will pro-
vide useful data for comparing the
new method of making steam by
oil with the old method of using
coal.
The contest has progressed far
enough to reveal that the race now
lies between the Maureta1ia and
the Majestic. Can the latter de-
priye the former. of her proud and
long-held position as the Atlantic
Speed Queen" This is the great
topic in ocean shipping circles.
There is much argument and heavy
betting.
The Majestic, like the Berenga-
ria. is German built. She was de-
signed to capture from Britain size
and speed records. Her hackers
point out that she has shown her
qualities in the latter respect by
doing a recent sprint at 27.S2
knots. and that as she is only be-
ginning to "feel her engines, she
will make things hum for her Brit
ish built competitors.
The Mauretania's hackers reply
that she, too, has not yet settied
down since her conversion to oil
burning; that if squirting counts FOR
ANYTHING she has a 2S.2 knots squirt
to her credit, and that with Tor.
rer whole voyage achievement oil
over 26 knots she will, If needed,
still show all-comers a clean par
of heels.
with all this keen but good-na-
tured rivalry among the grey
hounds of the ocean," new records
NAV be looked for before long. The
new Berengaria may produce some
surprises, now that she has taken
to oil fuel, and she is looked upon
as "the dark horse" OF the Atlantic.
