Seuen Auto Headlights
in 1000 Found Perfect

That nearly all automobile head
lamps need focusing or adjusting is
indicated by records kept by the pro-
prietor of the Speedway garage at
Faribault which is one of the official
lamp adjusting stations designated
by the Minnesota Highway depart
ment under the State traffic act. At
ter four months Of experience, in
which he tested nearly a thousand
pairs of head lamps, he wrote to the
department that he had found only
seven pairs of perfect lamps. All
the others needed some attention. In
many cases it was simple focusing,
but many others needed cleaning, re-
pairing and adjusting. Recent auto
mobile accidents near Redwood Falls,
due to defective lighting, have caused
many to have lamps tested.

one KILLED, FOUR
INJURED IN CRASH
11-Year-Old George Steffens Is
Killed in Auto Collision Near
WabassO Sunday Night.

Binding lights is given as the
cause of the head-on automobile crash
near Wabasso last Sunday night in
which one person was killed and sew
eral injured. Henry Steffens, farm
er living near Wabasso and his two
sons, George and John, were return
ing to Wabasso from the south at
1000 p. m. when they were met by
car travelling from the north. The
crash came, seemingly from no 9TH
er reason than bad lights as both driv-
ers were travelling at a moderate rate
of speed and both had been on the
right side of the road.
Colliding, young George, II years
old, was thrown through the wind
shield of his fathers car, severing his
jugular vein and received bad cuts
and decorations about the head and
body. George bled to death before
aid could be secured.
Mr.. Steffens was taken to the Mar
shall hospital where he is nursing q
serious knee injury and cuts and
bruises, while his other son escaped
with minor injuries. The driver Of
the other car, Mr.. Simonson Of JET
fers, was accompanied by his wife.
Both were injured IN the crash and
are under a physicians care at Wa
basso.
An inquest was held Monday after
noon in which County Attorney Brown
and Coroner Hubbard attended to re-
ceive the testimony. The hearing
was adjourned for two weeks, until
the testimony Of Mr.. Ste6ens could
be obtained.

REVIEW OF SCHOOL
REPORT SHOWS BIG
Superintendent of Redwood Co.
Schools Offers Annual
Report to Public.

Revealing that there were 5,285
students in the graded and the semi
graded and rural schools of Redwood
County, the annual report of Miss
Theo Jensen is interesting in as much
that it also reveals may facts that
merit the attention of all parents.
In the graded schools of the coun-
ty 1904 of these young people were
enrolled last year, showing a de-
crease over the previous wear OF 78.
In the semi-graded and rural schools
there were 2,681 pupils enrolled or a
decrease of %. The average daily
attendance in the graded schools was
2,266 while in the semi-graded and
rural schools the average attendance
amounted to 2,089. In the rural
group with % less pupils enrolled last
year there were only % less pupils
for daily attendance, meaning that
there were 5 more pupils at school
every day in proportion to the en-
rollment than last year.
The total attendance in days in the
graded schools was 408,10 while in
the second group the total day at
tendance amounted to 352,434. Miss
Jensen and the rural teachers have
worked hard trying to encourage pu-
pills to attend school regularly. Many
letters have been mailed to parents in
regard to school attendance and it
is only because of the keen co-opera-
ton of the parents that Miss Jensen
is able to offer report of such good
standing.
There are 1O3 buildings in which
the rural schools are conducted. In
only SO cases of these is there school
for nine months of the year. In 66
schools the term is for eight months
and only in one is there a seven
month term. Redwood County has
three accredited high schools, Red
wood Falls, Milroy and Lamberton.
The Delhi school has become an in
dependent district instead of COM
mon school district.
The average salary of the teachers
in the graded school is $139.29 and in
the rural and semi-graded 1922, de-
crease of Al cents. Twenty rural
teachers have been employed in the
same schools three years or more, 81
for two years or more and 58 are IN
schools for the first year. Redwood
County employs 115 teachers for 1O3
rural and semi-graded schools.
Eighty-four rural teachers are
graduates of high school normal
training departments while twelve
are graduates Of a two year course
at state teachers college and nine
teen have taken one year of training
at a state teachers college.
District 116, near Walnut Grove,
and district SO at North Redwood,
were the only schools in the rural
class which last year that scored for
superior aid of $125.00 in addition to
all other aids. This additional aid is
given schools employing a graduate
from the advanced courses of State
Teachers college for it's teacher, al
so having a correct lighting and an
IS per cent attendance. Miss Jensen
stated that she is hopeful that sever
al other schools will be able to score
for this superior aid within the next
few wears

Site Offered Congressional Club Still
Remains With No Building Announced
Mrs. Henderson Offered
Vacant Lot to Women
in the Spring

Mrs. Henderson John b
has not announced any plans
FOR building On the LOT on
Sixteenth Street that she
offered to the Congressional
Club ia the spring. The lot
upon which the tentative
embassy IS to be builded has
the home Of former Repre-
sentative Frank w. Mondell
on one side and on the other
side It adjoins Lamont
Street.
Situation
The lot offered the Con-
cressional Club is bounded
Oh one side by . lot, which
was negotiated recently BY
Senator Reed Smoot from
Mrs. Henderson as q site
for q Mormon Temple, and
Oh the other side BY d lot
upon which there is hope
that i memorial to Booker
Washington, or 3 similar
leader. can be erected, If
the property can be bought
from it's owner q woman
living ii New York.
First Offer
II was reported early IN the
spring that Mrs. Henderson
would give Boundary Castle,
her home in Sixteenth Street,
q the Congressional Club to be
used as headquarters. How
ever, this intended donation
was later changed and the
vacant lot was offered instead.
The Congressional Club,
which owes It's present quarters
also to the Grand Old Lady Of
Sixteenth Street, has decided
to remain for the present at
its place at New Hampshire
Avenue and Sixteenth Street.
An amusing story Is going the
rounds that tells Of the cleverness
of Senator Smoot in wangling
from Mrs. Henderson the lot for
the Mormon church.
Orthodox
III seems that while Mrs. Hen
derson has & keen eye for BUSH
ness, she also believes in the up-
right life somewhat after the
orthodox fashion. And she had
not kept up with the evolution of
the Mormon faith.
So when the Republican Sena-
tor from Utah approached her con-
eeruing the sale Of the desired
lot she turned him down quickly
with the remark that she did not
wish to be instrumental In pro-
noting any polyganous doctrines.
IN Discard
1t was explained that this phase
of the faith had been put in the
discard. But fixed idea vanisl1es
slowly. And so, according to re-
port. the Mormon leader followed
