r ARAMIE, Wyo.-A story rival
ing in drama the fiction of
the frozen northland was re-
vealed here IN the announcement
that Rose Chrisman, a pretty
school teacher in the little rural
school at Centennial, thirty miles
west Of here, had ''staked out a
claim" near Platinum Fork, where
a vein of valuable platinum was
recently reported discovered.
Excitement here over the
platinum discovery and tales OF
the prospective wealth to follow
fired the imagination of the pref.

gion four miles beyond, where q
veteran prospector found q sam

The young girl made the trip

DAILY EDITORIAL
The Stupidest Crime IN the World.
By DR.. FRANK CRANE.

Japan is supposed to have system of education
that compares favorabIy with that Of any other
nation. Japanese youth are eager to go to school,
The high schools however, totally inadequate to
accommodate the number of applicants.
Every year, therefore, certain number Of young
people who can't find place in the crowded schools
commit suicide.
know few facts in the world tragically appalling
as this.
It is not an Indictment of Japan but Of mankind
No nation in the world spends enough its schools,
makes an effort intelligent enough to improve and
maintain education
No other fact SO reveals the low degree of evolu
ton as our neglect of education.
We go spending nine dollars out of every ten of
our revenue for wars, past present and to And
war is the price pay for that stupid provinciaism
that makes us refuse to enter into world government
Only few cents of the remaining dollar out of
every ten do spend for the most important thing in
the whole world, Education.
1t is not matter Of theoretical discussion but Of
life and death AS Mr. Wells said, modern civilization
is 9 race between education and disaster.
We madly build huger steamships and taller office
buildings form larger corporations and stronger banks
lay out finer parks and museums and decorate them with
more statuary improve trains de luxe automobiles
and cynical heighten Injuries and intensity our
sophisticaton and think we going on We are not
We are going round and round like dancing dervishes
and meanwhile the keen-eyed chemists and the bat
eyed politicians are preparing for the next which
shall bring chaos
We still dream of bringing about reforms by ram
ming them down the threats of adults instead of the
only sure way teaching them to the coming generation
Fatheaded mayors and fatbellied aldermen still
solemnly pass resolutions to improve the town, by
which they mean paving the streets, hiring more police
men and otherwise spending money for practical"
purposes All the while there not enough school
for the children to sit in and not enough teach
to instruct them The teacher who should be look
ing after six children compelled to look after sixty
to the neglect of them ALL
We talk about national preparedness, by which we
mean training people to fight to take money to pay
for the fighters keep But the only real preparedness
is in training people to THINK.
No nation was destroyed except by one thing,
Ignorance, the inability to think clearly.
We are like father who is spending all his money
fine house to live in, an expensive automobile to
ride in to wait upon him. fine clothes to aorn
him. and lavish entertainment for his friends and has
no time to teach his children how to i've and money
to spare to hire other people to do it for him.
We speak of the great problems Of thirty years from
now. Those who will have to meet those problems and
settle them the children that playing in the
streets today To give serious attention to those prob
ems and to neglect those people who will have to deal
with them is most perfectly to act the fool.

YORK.-Discovery of a
~ scientific process Of manu-
\ featuring crude rubber, sup
planting the primitive methods
practiced by the natives in the
tropics, was announced here re-
Gently through the American
Chemical Society.
The new method, described in a
detailed report Of experiments
conducted in the New York labora-
tories Of a large rubber company,
to the society by Ernest Hopkin-
son, Of New York, says that after
three years Of testing 1t has been
found possible to make rubber by
spraying the latex, or sap, Of the
rubber tree. A disk spray is sub
stituted for the stick, or paddle,
Of the native, which coagulated
the fluid, the modern process re-
sembling that used In making
powdered milk.
The product, known as sprayed
rubber, is said to be both cheaper
and better than that Of the ma
tives and may increase the
worlds rubber supply. An ex-
perimental tower for manufacture
has been erected in New Durham,
N. j., shiploads of the sap. which
looks like milk, being brought in
tanks from Sumatra, where other
plants are being built.
"Curiously enough" says the
report, "fine Para, which has gen.
orally been considered one Of the
best crude rubbers, is obtained by
q very elemental method. The
natives accomplish this by turn

been dipped in latex over smoky

Zabelle Aram whose concert per- l formances have won for her the title of ''the Armenian songbird," was en- 1 Enthusiastically received by large audi ence at the Lyceum theater yesterday afternoon.
 Madame Aram recently returned from Europe where she sang in many of the large cities. The Italian press was unanimous in its praise of her when she sang the leading feminine role in the Barbiere de Siviglia in Rome about a year ago. =
 Madame Aram's voice is of the fin- est colofatura soprano type with won derful reach and she takes both her lowest and her highest notes with perfect ease. Her program here in cluded selections from Pergolesi, Bel lini, Rimsky- -Korsakow, Dell'Acua and Rossini's Barbiere di Siviglia which she sang in costume; also Armenian folk songs.
 Madame Aram's singing and her magnetic and charming personality appealed very strofgly to her audi ence and she was called upon for many encores.
 The artist is scheduled to appear in many American cities in tho near fu- ture and there is possibility that she may play return engagement.
 Frank Bibb of New York was Miss accompanist, and he also play ed piano selections from Chopin. and Chabrieu.

 Thorough examination of motor Is- hicles in the cities to ascertain the condition of their safety appliances is also contemplated by the plan. Cars on public streets with wobbly wheels or otherwise appearing to be unsafe would be promptly inspected to avoid injury to persons or damage to prop erty. So many of the reports of &C., cidents made to the motor vehiclI tc- partment reveal that people take chances with poor brakes that atten- ton to this condition alone is believed to be capable of doing much to re- duce the growing total of motor ve- hicle accidents.
