Lack Of Education
 Costs Nation ManU
 Millions Euch Yeur

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. The United States is losing $S25,OOO,OO a year through illiteracy.
 This is the estimate made by John J. Tigert, United States Commits sioner of Education, in the course of the the little red schoolhouse" and the establishment of equal edu- cational opportunities for children everywhere .
 Officials and educators in the Ma tional Capital agree that illiteracy represents a tremendous economic and social loss to the nation, and even President Harding took oc- casion in a recent message to Con gross to comment upon the problem.
 Commissioner Tigert declares the progress being made in removing illiteracy is not encouraging, point ing out that from 1910 to 1920 the drop ill the percentage of illiterates was less than 2 per cent, while in 12 states illiteracy actually increased during that period
 Actually Worse
 These figures are based on cen sus returns" Tigert said, "but as a matter of fact, many authorities have long thought that a test of ability to use the language in a practical way would reveal a much larger per centage of illiterates: such. for eX-

NEW ART METAL WIDELY USED
 IN PARIS

PARIS, Jan. 13.-Proverbial French thrift together with continued high wartime prices have combined to bring the market an interesting sub- stitute for expensive materials to be used for decoration, such as bronze, copper, silver, wood, enamel and mar ble.
 French genius," wrote Paul Fal- lot, the master of artistic decoration, several years ago, twill succeed one day in discovering mechanical meth ods which will permit artistic objects of luxury to be enjoyed by families of most modest revenue We must break with the old methods which have been used for centuries. The en- gineer, the manufacturer and the chemist must all collaborate with the artist to realize the famous adage, Mems agitat molem,"
 Cheap New Product
 Fallot's prediction has been crystal lized in this new process of metalliza- tion with a plastic composition, resist ant and yet light, having the same density, thickness, weight and tone of the metal to be copied. It offers the same advantages of strength and endurance as real bronze, gold, silver and copper.
 The decoration of the exterior of business houses and other buildings is fast going on in Paris by this new method, as we'll as the interior orna- mentation of cafes, casinos, banks and churches. The great cupola of the largest Parision dry goods store, Le Printemps, which was destroyed by fire last year, is now being decorat- ed with "bronze" scrolls and figures as beautiful as the real thing and the architects declare they will defy time and weather for the same length of time.
 Low-Priced Filing
 For floors there is an excellent com position initiating marble and tiles, Ill all colors and grains. There are chlm- ney-pieces of sculptured stone and lampstands and in numerable objects of ornament. Wood is made by the same process-panels for doors, ceilings and furniture-and, more than this, old woodwork, which enables historic chateaux and churches to be restored in perfect taste and with infinitely less expense. Altar ornaments, old ivory crucifixes and candelebras, which give the exact reproduction of the real material in color and substance, preserve all the delicate touches of the artist.

schooling, while others are profiting by the best modern educational op- portunities.
 "In 1920 a child was in school in some states on an average of 54 days a year, while in others the average days attended were 123. The average expenditure for child's schooling ran from $1650 in some states up to $113.07 in others. One state spent one-fifth as much on teachers salaries as did another, while the average expenditure on buildings per child varied from $50 to $32.O7,
 Worse in Country
 '"The most striking inequality is between the rural and the city schools. More than two-thirds of the schools of this country are one room rural schools. There are ap- proximately 186,O0O of these schools Between ten and twelve million children are enrolled in these one room schools. In nineteen states there are one-room schools in which teachers are receiving less than $500 year. It seems ironic to call such a sum a salary. The average salary for the one-room school teacher falls between $500 and $400, while in cities of the same states the aver age salary for elementary teachers

ample, as the Army test, which men could make no practical use of written English.
 Although illiteracy is a national problem, yet it is greater in rural districts, where there are four H. literates, aged 16 to 20, to one in our cities"
 Discussing the economic loss due to illiteracy, Commissioner Tigert said:
 The fact is self-evident that an educated nation is a more produc- tive one.
 ''It has been estimated that if the productive labor value of an Hitter ate is less by only fifty cents a day than that of the educated man or woman the country is losing $825, 100000 a year through illiteracy.
 Where intelligence reigns the land yields it's grain and fruits in greater abundance. The mines are more in tensively worked and to greater ad- vantage, and the various industrial and commercial enterprises are more scientifically and successfully conducted
 Social Menace
 'Illiteracy is a social menace. So- cial progress can only come about as it is based on mutual under standing, and there can be no under standing where there is no power of communicating ones thoughts to ones neighbor No people can have the same ideals and work for com mon cause when one-fifth of the people do not know, and cannot know, what the other four-fifths are thinking"
 To reproach the illiterate for being illiterate, Tigert declared, is the worst possible way of correcting the evil" Solution of the problem, he said, would come about by open ing the doors of the public schools ''every evening of every week in the year and offering courses that will attract illiterates as grown men and women and at the same tipe, be. cause of this, create a desire to over- come their great handicap of illit- eracy."
 Turning to the problem of educa- tion in general, Commissioner Tigert continued
 "There is a startling inequality in the amount and kind of education of fered to children of the United States. Large numbers of children are handicapped by the most meagre

runs from $1,000 to $1,200.
 ''In some rural schools the term is only sixty days, whereas the cities of the same states have a school term of 1S0 days. This means that the child in those particular rural schools would have to be in school "A years, even if all conditions were equal, which they are not, in order to get the same opportunity that the child in the city school would get in eight years.
 "The way to equalize educational opportunity is from the bottom up not from the top down. We must replace the small, antiquated one room school by large consolidated school to meet all the requirements of the finest type of school now known. The consolidated school is employing better prepared teachers rand paying them better salaries; it is developing school plants with audi toriums, laboratories and shops and it is promoting the health of the children by medical inspection, we'll prepared lunches and safe transpor. tation from home to school and re. turn.
 Would Consolidate
 But the necessity for the con- soldated school exists in some cities as well as in the country. That a city of 0,000 population should have 100 to 150 school buildings is both archaic and eXtravagant. It would be as reasonable for such a city to have 150 first-clss hotels and theaters. The maintenance of so many plants is appalingly extrava- gant, for it eats up in extra sites, extra costs for fuel, light and jani- tor service what ought to go into modern education opportunities for the children. .-
 Equality of educational opportun- ity will not be possible so long as we conduct our educational system, on the basis of the little red school house of one or even eight rooms y

A Most Amazing Confession

Prohibition Director Haynes reply
to Congressman Hills persistent in
quiries as to the Interpretation of
that section of the Volstead act re-
lating to the manufacture of cider re-
veals Mt last why the prohibition bu-
eau has so long attempted to evade
a direct statement on this subject.
Whether Mr.. Haynes was driven into
a corner from which he could not es-
cape, or whether he determined to
make a bold bid for the continued
support of the so-called "dry" farmer
element of the country, it is impos-
sible to say. But we believe that the
Haynes letter to Colonel Hill will go
down in the history of the prohibition
era as the most extraordinary official
document in the whole of this extra
ordinary period.
In effect, it is a virtual admission
that there is one law for the city and
another law for the country; that
in farming communities. And, what
is still worse, that this discrimination
is not an after-thought, but was one
of the deliberate purposes of the
trainers of the Volstead act.
In other words, the Eighteenth
amendment did not mean what it said
when it prohibited the manufacture of
Intoxicating liquors for beverage pur-
poses in all parts of the United States.
And the Volstead act did not mean
what it said when it defined an intoxi-
cant as mt containing more than one
half of n per cent of alcohol. What
they really meant was that intoxicat-
ing liquors should not be manufacture
ed in cities, and that beverages con-
tanning more than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol should not be consid-
cred Intoxicating on the farm.
The explanation of this distinction
is not to be found in logic or justice.
1t is only to be found in the necessity
of keeping the farmer vote in line.
To enforce the law strictly among
rural supporters of prohibition would
have driven them to revolt. There
fore it was determined "to interfere
as little as possible with an old, vel
recognized and generally harmless
privilege of the citizens of the United
States" That is the privilege tc
make cider and fruit juices which
might not conform strictly to the Vol
stead standards.
Farmers are thus declared to be ex,
empt from a law that applies to res.

COOPERATION OF GROWERS
Meeting HAIR VEST PROBLEMS

a fine spirit of cooperation has been manifested by the
growers in coping with the harvest difficulties caused by rainy
weather. Field labor has worked under trying conditions in
pulling and topping. Working together the agricultural forces
of the company, the railroads, the growers and the field workers
have made possible the operation of the factories with the min
imum reduction in sicing capacity to be expected under the
conditions.
The growers aid is very much appreciated by the manage
ment of the Great Western Sugar Company.
An unavoidable result of the wet weather has been the de-
livery of very dirty beets, resulting in tares that appear to some
to be too high. Growers may take their own tare or may watch
1t as 1t is taken. In variably where growers have done this
they have found that the tare taken by the tareman at the dump
to be fair.
Flowing the beets out far ahead of the toppers when the
soil is moist will often result in the dirt drying out. enabling
the pullers to knock the dirt off.
The generally moist condition of the fields will tend to
make pasturing of the beet tops wasteful. The tops would be
more economically handled by putting them in small piles. With
alfalfa selling at present prices. the tops from an average acre
Of beets re worth from So to $l2.
On account OF the rain the amount of dirt going into the
pied beets at dumps is likely to be abnormally high unless the
shovellers do their utmost to keep ort dirt and trash. Deteria-
ton OF beets and loss of sugar is generally higher in dirty piles.
Farmers are financially interested in keeping the loss of sugar
IN stored beets at a minimum because of the sugar content basis
in the beet contract.

idents of towns and cities. They can
have light wines, if not beer, without
being sent to the penitentiary for it.
That is to say, farmers who swear by
the Volstead act. If they should be-
come noted in their neighborhoods as
enemies of the act, it is probable word
would be passed along and their pri-
vate stills raided. 1t is only safe to
be a cider and fruit juice farmer when
you stand with prohibition. If you
do that, no troublesome questions will
be asked .
1t is fair to assume from Mr..
Haynes statement that it was realized
from the beginning that national pro-
hibition could not be maintained with
out bribing the farmers. The Vol
stead act, in this view, is not only
grossly discriminatory, but immoral
and insulting 1t employs wholesale
bribery to keep the country districts
loyal, and it insults them by the sug-
g%estion that they could be bought.
Perhaps Mr.. Haynes proclamation
of special privileges to them will keep
them from wavering, but we believe
all honest farmers will be Disguised
by the implication that they are ready,
for the sake of special privileges, to
be counted as allies in a program and

YOUR BEAU TY
RESULTS COME ONLY WITH PERSISTENCY

: wise beauty measures without
bringing at least some degree of
beauty into her experience. So
the pursuit Is worth while.
Therefore 1t pleased me greatly
to learn that this correspondent
Of mine was 50 systematic and
persistent in her beauty quest.
Taking the pains to keep a file
Of beauty clippings proved that
she was working persistently and
accurately.
Without persistence and &C.
curacy you will get nowhere. In.
finite pains are as essential to
Lasting charm and beauty as thew
are to pre-eminence in any other
line.
To Illustrate: A beautiful COM
plexion Is based on cleanliness.
A certain person claimed that she
cleaned her face perfectly, yet
her skin was far from flawless.
But once after she had washed it
with soap and water che went
over 1t again with a nit of cot.
ton dipped in alcohol. The cot.
ton was black with the dirt she
removed. And she had Just fin
ished cleaning her face! Her work
had not been accurate.
You will find that the beauty
woman has a habit Of doing all
that she does accurately. She
rinses all the soap from her hair
after shampoo. She arranges
her hair and her costume with
infinite pains. And this persist
ence in careful accuracy day after
day, year after year, keeps her
always at her best.
1t is just as easy and far more
interesting to do ones work ac-
curately. Persistent effort Is
more absorbing than spasmodic
attempts.
So today am not going to de-
scribe a new formula or exercise.
But I would like to suggest an
idea.
It is this. However simple your
beauty regime, live up to it per-
sistently and accurately. And in
this way you cannot but achieve
in large measure, loneliness and
charm.

FOXYGRANDPA'S STORIES
BUNNY INSTALLS A BURGLAR ALARM IN FOXY
GRANDPA,S HOUSE.

<<WXYE really should have a
" dog out here" said /
w one morning after we
had moved into a new house
which had just bought in the
country.
''Why?" asked Bobby.
"Oh. because we are quite a
distance out OF town, yet we are
rather near the railroad"
What difference does that
make?" persisted Bobby.
We'll" said I, near the rail-
road Is usually a good place for
tramps. And If they get hungry
they are very likely to pay you
an unlimited visit"
Cant we get dog2" asked
Bobby.
well, I suppose we could" I
answered. but we have 80 many
already at our homes that I hest
tate getting another"
1--WE don't need a dog" inter-
rupted Bunny. who happened into
the room.
"Well," said 1. II feel as II we
needed some protection"
How about a burglar alarm,
Foxy Grandpa2" the rabbit asked,
his little pink eyes gnstening
with excitement and every whis-
ker twitching with interest.
"Oh, that would take long
time," I answered, land besides
1t is very expensive"
II think can install a burglar
alarm which will not cost you a
penny and 1t Is a pretty sure
one," Bunny ventured with a very
business-like tone in his voice.
II would be very glad II you
would, Bunny" I answered.
But for the life OF me I could
not imagine what kind Of a sys-
tenn Bunny had in his mind. I
knew very we'll he couldn't go
INTO shop and buy batteries and
wire and 1 also knew that, al
though he is very smart rabbit.
he doesn't know the first thing
about electricity. What was he
going to do, 1 wondered.
AS you know, Bunny is rather
mysterious and when he has
something to work out he doesn't
like to be asked questions. So I
said nothing further.
The next day Bobby came to
me and said:
where's Bunny2 He's been
out since very early this morning.
He didn't even come home for
lunch"
