How long should school day be?
What Il the correct number Of hours
for 4 session? How long should the
!. noon intermission last? How often
must recesses from recitations be
taken. and for how many minutes
ought each recess period to last?
These and other questions pertain
Ing to schedules have come up in var
ious cities in the past year. Parents
have been asked in nearly all cases
TOR opintons-principally on the ques-
ton Of the length Of q school day:
The average school day begins at
nine and ends at four with an hour
out at noon, and ten minutes for
recess In the middle Of each session.
That makes approximately six
hours = day In the school building.
Younger children have shorter
hours. older children, longer ones,
but six hours Is the average In most
cities.
It was Z surprise to school author
tiles to know that many parents fav-
ored even louoeE school hours, and
very few wished tho daily schedule
shortened.
More WleA, Len Play
Various reasons. were given, but
perhaps the most popular one was
that the longer children were In
school the less time they had TOR play
Ing In the streets.
Some said that It III depended ,lp-
on the condition ana health Of the
children themselves, declariug that q
strong child with advanced mentality
could stand : long strain Of steady
application much better for continued
periods than weak child. or q child
that had to work very hard to get his

There Is no doubt that under the

hours cannot well be abpreciably
heightened. ! helieve ttst few chill

Realizing that the company union
which program of the scab Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union and the strikebreaking Inter
national Fur Workers Union has
been unusually effective in reducing
the workers wages, increasing their
hours and establishing an intense
speed-up, millinery manufacturers

ers, who are members of the right
wing Cap and Millinery Workers
Union.

some of their evils by Harvesting
the powers of labor to act as a po-
liceman for the trade. 1t is about
time that the millinery industry re-
sorted to the same thing.
ITO my mind, organized labor,
properly restrained, through a col
lective agreement, stands as one of
the most powerful forces to line up
the millinery trade for the better"
He continued by urging that all
millinery manufacturers hold a con-
ference soon to put his program
into effect.

approximately $500 miles remain to

Dmitry Fufaev, were resting yester-

flight from Moscow to Toxic and re-

unfavorable atmospheric and other

were rewarded with the highest or

was sponsored by Osoaviakhim $50

with a membership of 100000 and

the great New York reception, for
which the Yankee Stadium is to be

recognition of the achievements of

poration and its president, Eugene
G. Grace.
With derisive civility Schwab, in
reply to questions from the senate
committee, said that he knew moth
ing of the employment of Shearer
at Geneva to defeat any attempts at
reduction of naval ornaments and
that, in spite of the fact that mil
lions were made in the business of
building ships for the navy, he,
Schwab, was in favor of scrapping
all battle ships and all ornaments.
Subordinates Responsible.
According to Schwab neither he
nor President Grace knew anything
at all about spending tens of thous-
ands of dollars to support Shearer's
activities. The employment of
Shsarer was solely upon the respon-
sibility of subordinate official of
the shipbuilding corporation and no
one else knew about it, if Schwab
and grace are to be believed.
Grace also took the stand and re-
iterated what Schwab had said. Not
one of the senators cracked smile
at his testimony. The farce is to
continue today with further testi-
mony from officials of the armor
plate and munitions trusts.

Russian Star Outstanding
Screen Actor OF Today

THE greatest screen actor in the
l. world! 1t is not easy to pick
one man who is so versatile that his
name should be placed first. Yet
some critics have dared and L. NJ.
Leonidoff has been awarded this dis
tinction.
This Leonidoff is the same Mos
COW Art Theatre player who plays
the dual role of orthodox rabbi and
czarist governor in the Sovkino
film "Seeds of Freedom" which has
the third week of its American pre-
miere showing at the Cameo Thea
tire.
A noted film reviewer of this city
speaks as follows of Leonidoff:
"His work in this film is so I'M
questionably significant that by one
stroke he establishes himself as . f.. i.
greater than Jannings and more
powerful than Moskin"
The Berliner Tageblatt adds the
following comment: "His-is the
greatest portrait in the gallery of
the cinema"
The National Board of Review, in
picking Leonidoff's first film as an
exceptional photoplay, adds "as the
recreation of man and his times,
it is the most remarkable that the
screen has so far afforded"
Besides his work as Scar Ivan
the Terrible" Leonidoff is we'll
known here for his work in the
Moscow Art Theatre presentation of
"The Brothers Karamazov," which
was presented here some seasons
back at the Century Theatre.

Marking, and evidently in collision
with Chang Fa-kwei to take over
Canton and all Southern Chira
One of the latest mutinies of
Marking troops was at Kiukiang, on
the Yangtse, where nearly the
whole army refused to board a fleet
of river steamers sent from Nank-
ing, to take them to Hankow, for
action in Honan, presumably against
either Feng or Chang Fa-kwei.
In Manchuria, the Chang Hsueh-
lang government, apparently still
relying on Chiang's promised sup
port, continues to harry the border,
sending raiding parties mainly made
up of White guard Russians in the
pay of the Chinese militarist gov
eminent at Mukden. Four such at
tacks within the last four days are
reported in Moscow. Changes men
fired on the U. S. S. R. village of
Abagatuevsky until the Red Army
drove them back. Rifles and
machine guns were used against So
Wet sentries near the border of Pog-
ranitchnaya, until they were silenced
by return fire.
A band of white guards organized
in Hardin, and sent to the eastern
Manchurian border with orders from
the Mukden government to cross
and rob and kill peasants, was
caught by detachment of the Red
Army and severely beaten Friday.
Another large band of white
guard raiders has been assembled in

essary, reinforce it and bring it to
a point of greater readiness. We

which would be tanta-

binary atrocities and abuses of So
Wet citizens by the Chinese militar-
list governments would not force the
Soviet government from it's position |
with regard to the Chinese Eastern
seizure of which by the
government, with the COM
plicity of Marking, precipitated the
present crisis.
Militarists Evade.
"The conditions of Marking" he
stated, "offer no basis for settle
ment of the controversy because
China wishes to retain a position
captured by force and by unex-
ampled violation of the first and
only treaty of equality voluntarily
concluded by China with the Soviet
Government. We still insist as a
minimum upon appointment of "a
new Soviet manager and assistant
of the Chinese Eastern
Railway, provided the Chinese ap-
point a new chairms1 to the board
of directors. If the Chinese reject
this minimum, it means that they
