Separatist Movement
Arouse French Art

Paris, Dec. 2 CA. P. by MaiD-The
committee of the Independent Salon
has raised a tempest among it's
members by deciding that in future
foreign artists at the Salon shall be
separated from the French and
grouped in special rooms. Some of
the most important French artists
have resigned from the Salon and
most of the foreign artists are ex-
pected to follow suit. The dictum
that art has no country even If
artists have has pleased, and it is
pointed out that no foreign country
separates French artists from it's
own.
The Independent Salon has ALWAYS
been noted for what may without
exaggeration be called eccentricity.
1t has no jury and grants no medals
or other distinctions. Each exhibitor
pays according to the space he oc-
cupies.
Foreigners, especially Russians.
have always formed a very high pro-
portion of the exhibitors, and the
reputation of the Salon as a freak
show is generally attributed to the
foreigners, hence the movement to
separate the artists according to
nat1onalities so that credit and
censure may fall where they are de-
served.

Country Hawk Captures
Pigeon on a City Street

A group of pigeons were peacefully
and happily feasting on stray grains
of oats that had fallen from horses
feed bags the other day in Greeley
SO. when they became aware of APP
preaching danger. They took swiftly
to wing but one of their number a
little slower in starting was trapped.
big hawk-a sight unusual to city
dwellers-which had been circling
above the group for some seconds
descended like stone from the sky,
seized the dilatory pigeon in his
talons and bore him away.
Few noticed the incident. but the
hawk after some moments of search,
carried his prey to the top of large
electric sign where he was somewhat
hidden from view, and a moment
afterward white and gray fugitive
feathers came floating down bearing
mute testimony to the tragedy being
enacted.
Some time later the hawk, his meal
over, rose from his perch, circled a
few times and then flew due west.

Much llliteracy In Mexico

1t has been shown by a careful GEN.
sus of Mexico that in some districts
and In some whole States more than
30 per cent of the population can
neither read nor write.
llliteracy is more prevalent in
southern and southeastern Mexico
than in the more northern part of
the country. Far more people can
read and write in the States border
ing the United States than in the
ones farther south. This fact Is
thought to be due to the educational
influence of the neighboring Ameri-
cans.
To overcome this condition, con-
struction of 5000 elementary schools.
which will involve a cost of more
than 100000 when completed, is
under way. The schools are to be
finished within a year.

SELLING IN OFFICES

Bell Telephone System stock may

of the Company, according to an an

tain this week. Purchases may be
made for cash or on the installment
plan.
This plan is put in effect through
the Bell Telephone Securities Co., a
part of the Bell System. When an
order is placed at the local Office, the
stock is purchased on the New York
Stock Exchange by the securities
Company. The price quoted each day
is the previous days closing on the
Exchange.
During the past year efforts have
been made to widen the distribution
of Bell System stock through local
banks and brokers. The new plan is
supplementary to the previous efforts
and places the stock within the reach
of many who desire to purchase it,
but who have no local connections
