KINDERGARTEN |S
 IMPORTANT FIELD
Bessie Locke Has Done Much to
 Spread Work

New York, Sept. 30 Gps-More than Soo'Ooo children throughout the nlted States have received the bene- ats Of kindergarten training as a re- suit of the efforts of Bessie Locke, executive secretary of the National kindergarten association, whose life work has centered on securing kin dergarten education for all of the nations children.
 Back in 1909 Miss Locke. who at that time was connected with the New York Kindergarten association saw the need for a national associa- non. Its object, she felt, should be to arouse interest in the subject of Hlndergartens, to persuade the people In each state to work for better state Kindergarten laws. and to induce the school boards to open kindergartens In the public schools.
 AS a result of this vision the National Kindergarten association was organized at the home of Mir and Mrs. Henry Phipps of New York city and incorporated during the same year. In 1912 the association affiliated with the National Kinder garten and Elementary College oi Chicago and from 1913 to 1919 Miss Locke was chief of the kindergarten division of the United States bureau of education.
 Since Its founding the National Kindergarten association has taken the initiative in arousing mems and women's organizations to work for better kindergarten legislation Through their combined efforts i'm

easing of call money rates, the weekly

National Cloak and Suit scared 8

while the common moved up nearly 8

All three Erie issues touched their

some of the high-g grade dividend payers
was influenced by the announcement
that the National City company, one of
the country's largest securities distri-
buting organizations, would add first

took place in a number of issues in
cluding New Haven Southern Railway,

apeake and Ohio. But this was natural
in view of the spirited advance earlier
in the week.

Grain Market

CHICAGO, Feb. 10 (P.-Wheat eased
down today at the last after showing
unusual steadiness. Snow at numerous
points in Kansas, including some in
the western sections, were bearish fac
tors near the close. Final quotations
on wheat were. unsettled at the same
as yesterday to 5s cent lower, with
corn unchanged to B@A cent higher,
oats at shade to B@A cent advance,
and provisions varying from a shade
decline to rise of II cents.
Despite indications of growing be-
lief among wheat traders today that
the McNary- -Haugen farm bill would
be vetoed by the president, few traders
appeared willing to operate with any
degree of freedom until the measure
is definitely disposed of. This circum-
stance was in general regarded as ac-
counting for the narrow limits within
which prices were held. A sustaining
factor was likelihood that world ship
ments for the week would prove small
and that no material change was eX-
pected to be shown in Mondays fig

ply. Prospects of possible further
slackening of export demand for do

FORCE FLYERS
BACK TO LAND


Ballybunnion. County Kerry, Irish
Free State, Sept. 17.-tR--Anothel
attempt to conquer the Atlantic by a
nonstop flight from east to west has
failed, but without disaster.
The monoplane Princess Xcnia
owned by the American tin plate heir
William B. Leeds. and named for his
Russian wife. came to a safe rest on
Beale Strand near the mouth Of the
shannon. six miles south of this sea
side resort. last night after her
pilots, Captain Robert II. Macintosh
and Commandant James c. Fitz-
maurice, had fought vainly with vio-
lent headwinds and binding fog over
the sea, in. an attempt to fly from
the Baldonnel airdrOme to New York.
Macintosh and Fitzmaurice were in
the air little less than four and
onc-half hours.
Leaving BIldonncll field yesterday
afternoon, they made fair progress
over ireland, only to encounter a 40
mile headwind soon after passing out
to sea over the Galway coast, so
miles to the north Of Ballybunnion.
Then came dense fog. They con-
tinued grimly for time, but finding
- lmposSiUIc 10 steer true COM
pass course, they decided that best
judgment dictated a return.
Seek Landing Place
For an hour or more after re-
gaining the coast they cruised to
and irOe at an extremely low alti-
tude, peering through the mist and
seeking favorable landing place.
Circling about and passing back
and forth a number Of times along
the coast line, they at length
brought their ship down at 6 p. M.
on Beale Strand.
The flyers estimate that they
had progressed perhaps 800 miles
over the sea before they decided
that continuance of the flight un-
der the prevailing conditions would
be suicidal.
They had hoped to reach New
York by way of Newfoundland in
26 h0nrs, and the plane carried 72O
gallons Of fuel for the attempt.
I'VE and the machine are OK, :"
said Commandant Fitzmaurice.
"The engine ran perfectly and we
returned only because in the mist
it was impossible to steer a true
compass course"

Long Night Flight
The start-between ? and p. m.,
