Schools in Soviet
 Russia Show Increase

MOSCOW, Jan. 15.-The number Of public schcols in Soviet Russia shows an increase under the Soviet regime as compared with pre-revolu- ton times. according 10 recent an- nouncement of A. Lunatcharsky, Cemmissar for Education.
 During the first two years of the revolution, public education was given much attention by the Soviet government, and the number of public schools was brought up to 90, GOO with a staff of 10000 teach CTS end 2,250,o0o pupils, as com pared with 22,000 schools, 32,000 teachers and 1,300,000 pupils in 1911. But in 1921, with a change of economic policy and the aboli- ten Of the non-monetary system, came the first reduction of expenses in education and curtailment of public schools. In 1922 a further number of schools had to be closed, on account of budget difficulties, while many schools were deserted by their staffs owing to insufficient and irre9uar pay.
 At the present time, according to the official figures, there arc 23,000 schools. 48000 teachers, and 1885, 900 pupils. But 1923 is expected to show a decrease, for the govern ment will pace the cost of upkeep of public schools upon local authori- ties, and these are notoriously short of funds.

ETHEL CLAYTON AT COLISEUM TUESDAY

Ethel Clayton's new Paramount photoplay, Beyond" which comes to the Coliseum Theater Tuesday for two days, strikes a note of popular appeal. The underlying motif of the picture is the life beyond and the possibility of communication with the spirit world. The spirit of mother comes back to watch over her wayward son. Ethel Clayton ad- mirably suits the role of Avis, the heroine of this strange story She has that intellectual quality which fits into story which depends upon tho power of the players to render it convincing despite the somewhat supernatural air of the plot. Miss Clayton. with her refinement of man. ner, and intelligent understanding of her art. gives an earnest and com polling performance. Charles Mere

 Despite "Of Year

TOKYO, Jan 15.-Weddings in Japan increased in 1922 despite an i'd superstition that considers the 5ear unlucky. At the Hibiya shrine only, they numbered 300 more than -921. but the ceremonies were con lueted under the most economical 1lan.
 The Hibiya shrine has six classes f weddings, ranging from 15 to 70 yen.

BUSINESS OF CHILDHOOD IS
 GOOD IN 1922
Prospects for advancement During Present Year Ex-
 ceptionally Bright.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-No business flouri8hod during the last year to a greater degree, paid such spiritual dividends or has better prospects for advancement during 1923 than the Business of Childhood. according to President Edna Dean Baker of the National Kindergarten and Element ary College.
 Grown-ups are coming more and mora to consider seriously the fact that "as the child goes, so goes civil ization," says Dean Baker, who points out that not only mothercraft but fathercraft must be given a greater degree of serious considera- tion, attention and research if the trend of childhood is to continue up. ward
 Mothercraft
 "rhe requirements of mothercraft are yariedly conc eived-art and sci enee, literature. industry, philosophy, dietetics, psychology and religion but tho mother must be a poet as well as a bread maker, priest an l a teachor," ayers Dean Baker. Moth ereraft is not confined to the home but embraces every woman who has love and understanding for the child"
 And parents and educators in charge of child training are becom- ing more receptive to tho newer type Of elementary education, according to Dean Baker
 Frivoities Is Influence
 Partners in the Business of Child hood have not been oblivious to the fact that tho business has suffered certain Impressions. Many young women are being trained without any conception of mothercraft and moth erhood. Frivolties are the major in- f,uence in the lives of many young women approaching maturity. Thou sands of children do not have the advantages of guidance during the earlier stages of their lives. How. ever, through laws to be proposed te legislatures in our states and the many forces that ara lsboring in the interests of the Business of Child hood we expect to correct these con- dtions"
 Dean Baker listed the National Bu reau of Education, National Congress of Mothers, ParentTeacher Associa- tons and individual educators and philanthropists as potent factors now working in the interests Of the "busi- ness," who believe that of "all the business of life, particularly the busi- ness of morality. the business of democracy and civilization are sub sidiary only to the Business of Child hood"

FOLLOW FOUR TRAILS|
 IN PROBE OF MURDER
Policee Still Baffled By Death of
 Pretty Model

NEW YORK, April Flour trails leading to the slayer of Dorothy King Keenan, artist model friend of John Kearsley Mitchell, wealthy Philadelphia clubman, were being followed tonight by detectives as signed by Police Inspector Coughlin in whose hands rests the full re- sponsibility for solution of the mur- der since the withdrawal Saturday of Assistant Attorney Pecora.
 One trail, leading to the discovery of the conspirator who planned a Si00,000 blackmail plot against Nit chell, and who is believed to have obtained the models missing Palm Beach letter written by the Phila- delphian few days before her death, was admittedly nearing it's end. Detectives, it was learned, had ascertained the dwelling place of the man and momentarily were expect ing to apprehend him.
 Another trail led to drug stores. and every patrolman in the city was ordered to canvass drug stores in his precinct tonight in an effort to trace the purchaser of the chloroform used to stifle the model. The empty bot tle with the serial number ripped off, is guarded closely as the most valuable clue in the murder mystery.

BOTH CLAIM VICTORY
Chicago Municipal Campaign Lacks

 CHICAGO, April 2.-With every thing finished but the voting, Re- publican and democratic organiza- tions tonight made claims of victory in tomorrow's mayorality election with reckless abandon. The confi- dence of each side. however, apparent ly was unable to arouse the voters from the apathetic attitude that has characterized the entire campaign and the usual night before election excitement was manifest tonight in only mild form. Arthur c. Lueder former postmaster and republican standard bearer, nd Judge William M. Dever, democratic candidate. con fined their campaigning to the busi- ness district today, where each made several addresses. Withdrawal of Mayor William Hale Thompson, for eight years mayor of Chicago, from the race before the primary, robbed the campaign of what was to have been one of its main issues and has allowed 1t to be decided along party lines to more or less extent. Be- sides the mayor, city clerk and city treasurer, Chicago voters will also choose 20 aldermen who did not re- celve decisive majority at the Feb ruary primary.
