CALIFORNIA TO WIPE OUT
 |LL|TERACY
State Superintendent Says Efforts Will Be Reward
 ed by l03O.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.-Illiter- acy can be wiped out in California, excert among the feeble minded, by 1930, if no illiterates are accepted from abroad, Will c. Wood, Califor. mia state superint endent of education, declared in an address at a regional conference held here under the aus. pices of the National Education As sociat ion
 "ETimination of illiteracy in Cali fornia during the next eight years will be comparatively easy if the Federal government will strictly en force the hteracy test for all immi grants,' MT. Wood said.
 Plan Outlined
 Already we have established hun dreds of special evening classes for adults in connection with our hign schools. These classes are main t2ined in rural districts as well as in cities. Within the last five months, the number of special classes for adults has increased greatly be- cause of new legislation whereby the state and county are made to bear practically the entire financial load for such classes.
 "Our compulsory education laws are now being enforced so thorough ly in about half the counties, that the number of native-born illiterates will be greatly reduced.
 Adult Education
 "The California program of adult education must not stop short with the elimination of illiteracy. The aim of adult education must be the preparation of men and women for better citizenship. We must not be misled into thinking that literacy is an indication of good citizenship While our penjtentiaries show per centage of ilfiteracy much higher than the average for California, they also show high percentage of in mates able to read and write.
 "The good citizen must know not only reading and writing. but also something of the ideals and prob lems of American citizenship. We need to be concerned with the non

 Agents of the Standard Oil Com pany have been most active and are reported here to have secured virtual monopolies of oil prospecting and we'll sinking in number of smaller Central European states.

TOTAL COMMERCE
 OF ALASKA, 1921, WAS S65,954,566
Exports Exceed Imports More than 100000 Dur
 ing the Past Year.
OUTLOOK FOR 1922 IS
 BETTER, CLAIMS REPORT
Annual Customs Report ls- sued by Collector Mcbride
 for Alaska District.

Alaska,s commerce for the year 1891 amounted to $65, ,954,5 ,566, &C., cording to the annual report of John c. McBride, Collector of Gus toms for the District of Alaska, which was made public today. Of that amount, imports were valued at $2O, ,209,328 and exports at $45,- 745, ,338, leaving a balance in trade in favor of the Territory amounting 10 $25,536,110.
 Fish Products Lead.
 In the list of the products of the Territory exported. fish and fish products lead in value and consti- ute more than 50 per cent. of the value of all the products. The value of the products of the fisheries in dustry for the year is shown to be $22,929,182. Copper is the second export commodity on the list, a to- tai of 59,797,504 pounds with a value of s7,974,270 being exported. Gold and silver exports are in third place with a value of $7,35O, l42, virtually the same as for 1920.
 Revival in Mining.
 One significant feature Of the report is the substantial increase in the gold and silver exports from the Fourth Division, indicating that conditions heretofore injurious ly affecting the gold and silver min- ing industry are passing away. In 1920, the Fourth Division shipped gold and silver to the amount Of s569.0SO, while last years exports are shown to have been $1, ,443, 1883. an increase of $S74,303. In the other three divisions, a declining production of these metals was shown. The First Division still leads in the production of gold and silver with total of $3,7S9.163, or more than 50 per cent of the entire Ter ritorial production.
 Standing by Division.
 The Third Division leads both in imports and exports, with the First Division in second place, followed in the order named by the Fourth and Second divisions. The lead of the Third over the First in imports is very small but the formers ex- ports last year were materially larger. Much of the cause of this is believed to lie in the fact that all of the red salmon cannneries operated last year while the canners of cheaper grades were for the most part idle The red fish canneries are located largely in the Third Di- vision. These with the copper pro- ducers represent largely the export list of the Third Division.
 Shrinkage Is Large.
 The total commerce for the year as compared with that for the year previous shows the most material loss reported in the past 15 years dropping s42,375.329. Of this amount exports decreased in the sum of $24,166,O84 and imports s18,209.245. The total for the year was the smallest of any year since 1911. although it is but about $2,- 900, 900 less than for 1913.

SLAVES TO HOT CLOTHING
Men More Timid Than Women in
Suing Garb to Summer Days

A man dresses in summer much
more warmly than woman dresses
in winter. Men have colds in their
heads; women apparently do not.
Men get pneumonia more often than
women. Men get consumption very
much more often than women.
What's the explanation?
Unquestionably men dress stupidity
What could be sadder than the man in
dark blue suit that attracts the heat
with a stiff, tight, starched collar
around his neck, tight belt around
his waist, or harassing suspenders
over his shoulders, an apoplectic face,
feet squeezed into patent leather
shoes? Besides your apoplectic, fool
ish man consider the perfectly cool
woman.
She has short skirts and the air
blows through them. Her arms are
perfectly bare, or covered with some
thing like mosquito netting, reaching
about half way down.
Her neck is open, front and back,
usually. Plenty Of air circulation
there.

Many Farm Problems
Remain Unsolved

Many problems that come to the at
tention of specialists in the agricul-
tural extension department at the
Pennsylvania State College cannot be
completely solved because of the lack
of necessary experiments under Penn
sylvania conditions. The school Of
agriculture at the college makes every
effort to serve the farming interests
of the state through residence and
correspondence courses, research work
and agricultural extension service.
The forty extension specialists and
the seventy-five representatives in the
various counties, together with some
thirty workers in the home economics
division, make up the machinery
through which experimental results
are carried to the farmer and his
family.
The extent to which these workers
can be of help to the farming element
is dependent entirely upon the nature
and the scope of research work done
by the school of agriculture and ex-
pertinent station. The results of ex-
periments made in the past have been
Of untold value to Pennsylvania farm
ing, as will similar pieces of research
work now under way. The necessity
for an increased opportunity for re-
search in the school Of agriculture is
very apparent in the host Of questions
that come to the attention of the ex-
tension representatives and that can
not be completely answered because
Newark post., 1922-08-02

experimental data applying to Penn
sylvania conditions is not available.
Only by increasing the ability Of the
experiment station to study such
problems thoroughly can the service
of the college continue to increase in
value to the farmer. The proposed
plan for the expansion Of State COL
lege as Pennsylvania State Univer-
sity, which@is meeting with favor on
every hand, will bring with it en-
larged facilities for the investigation
Of practical agricultural problems.
