Importance. A sense of humor is

her subject matter so well that she
can adapt the instruction to fit the

EUROPE SHOWS
SLIGHT CAIN IN
TRADE TOTAL
Wall Street Slump Felt;
German Exchange
Goes Down.
BY HENRY CUMMING
United Press stan Correspondent

PARIS, Dec 16-GeneraI business
conditions in most of the European
countries continue to show moder-
ate improvement, according to the
December trade reports compiled
by commercial attaches.
Practically all European countries
have been affected by the unsettled
conditions growing out of the Wall
Street slump, but to what extent
it will be felt can not be gagged
Immediately.
Italy shows a steady improvement
In commerce and industry. A large
wheat harvest has reduced wheat
imports and customs receipts, and
has depressed sharply grain prices
in some districts.
There has been no marked change
in German business conditions. The
Stock Exchange continues its down.
ward movement. but has been less
affected by the New York break
than might have been expected.
Czechoslovakia Is showing a de-
creased industrial production. a
slowing up is reported in iron and
steel, as well as in enthusiastically
cotton and f1ax-and the lumber
business is tagging.
Switzerland reports that her ex-
ports for the first three-quarters of
the year 1929 exceed those of the
same period of 1923 by 100000
francs, with an increase Of imports
amounting to 100000 francs. The
decidedly larger volume of imports
is due mainly to heavier purchases
of grain. Importation of American
automobiles has declined as a re-
suit Of recent traffic agitation.
Spain for several months has
been centering her attention on the
problem of the Peseta exchange.
Immediately after the government
announced the withdrawal of its
support of the Peseta, there was a
sudden drop in the value of the
standard. It has recovered partially
and now stands at 1929 to the
dollar.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Dec. 10
Professor w. A. Wright, of the
Indiana university school of edu-
cation, is the author of a series of
six composite achievement tests for
the elementary grades from three
to eight, to be used in more than
60 per cent of the country schools
and in a few city schools of Indiana
to replace old type tests. Professor
Wright has combined all the ex-
aminations for each grade into one
book with key chart to aid in
grading.
Questions included in the test
books are of the kind that require
little or no discussion and can be
answered with a few words. This
will enable teachers to grade the
pupils more equally, the author
Wright points out.

AS Reason by Judge.

By United Press

county juries, according to a ruling
of Judge Grant Crumpacker in cir
cult court.
The decision resulted from mo-
ton filed by Attorney James ]. NC
Garvey, counsel for Phillip Buercle,
Chicago youth. awaiting trial for
manslaughter, who charged that
the venire was illegally drawn be-
cause names of women were ex-
cluded.
In overruling motion to set
aside the panel, Judge Crumpacker
held that the commissioners were
not required to put the names of
all qualified persons in the jury
box for drawing.
The judge said he was not OPP
posed to women jurors, but said
it had been found impractical to
use them. When the jury must
remain out all night, there are no
