MARTIAL LAW IN
 IOWA OVER THE
 CATTLE TESTING
l,SO0 Troops Rushed Into Some Sections to En- force the State Law on Tuberculosis

Tipton, Ia.. Sept. 22.-(UP).- The rumble of marching men and the chatter of galloping horses heralded the arrival of 1900 guardsmen as Cedar county went under martial law in Iowa's battle to enforce its cattle tuberculosis testing law.
 Mobilized from score of cities, the guardsmen arrived aboard spe- cial trains to quell a farmer re- volt that had simmered for months in the courts and broken into open violence on numerious occasions. Yesterday afternoon the outbreak occurred that led to the decision to call out the guard. Sheriffs and their deputies from many eastern
 Iowa counties were led by Joe Newell to the farm of Joe Lenker near Willow Junction.
 There were 65 of the officers, we'll armed and instructed to pro- tect state veterinarians as they cattle. Newell. formerly a special citation, took his force to the Lem hOt 1aA HI anu nun a crowd of 400 farmers. Some of the farmers carried pitchforks; others had clubs; all were determined to prevent the testing.
 When the deputies found they were faced with resistance they hurled tear gas bombs, but the missiles seemed only to aggravate xpA af fa Automobile tires were punctured with the pitchforks; car windows were smashed with clubs; and the deputies themselves were made the targets for well-aimed handsful of mud.
 The deputies had orders to fire no bullets and they retreated with out testing Lenker's cattle. But the affair aroused Governor Dan w. Turner, in Washington seeking federal aid in a campaign to boost the price of corn. Turner. who has spent long hours trying to solve the tuberculosis testing problem without restoring to force, called W. H. Bailey. adJutant gen. eral, by telephone from Washing
 ton late yesterday.
 Mobilize the National Guard.
 he told Bailey. T intend to so the
 limit in seeing that the law is car
 ried out"
 Within an hour Bailey had set
 in motion the machinery to mobii.
 ize the guard.
 Sentiment here was that farmers would offer no resistance to the guardsmen. who will operate un.

DANBURY MAKES
 10000 DOZENS
 HATS EVERY DAY
If Workers Get Time Some
 Day They Will Build Monument to Empress
 Eugenie

Danbury, Conn, Sept 22-(UP) They'd build a monument to the Empress Eugenie here in Danbury if the hat business ever slowed down enough to give them time.
 The grateful citizens of the com munity which produces S5 per cent of the nations hats, felt and straw, give the chic French em- press of half a century ago credit for the amazing boom in the bus mess which provides a livelihood for most of Danbury's 2s,000 in habitants-
 The city's 30 hat factories and numerous fur treating plants have been running "A hours a day and most of them seven days a week trying to keep up with the demand. There may be a depression in the world, but the matters of Danbury aren't affected, at least not yet and they thank Eugenie therefor.
 Factories were producing 10000 dozen hats daily. Matters who in normal times worked six months a year at $75 to $115 a week when work was available are earning $S5 to $155 every week, and the end is not yet. Only the unfinished hat is made here in quantity, these be- ing shipped to various cities to be modelled, trimmed and distributed to the retail trade.
 There was a time when things were different. Hard times struck the industry two years ago after two normal years. There were many weeks when matters earned little or nothing. The slump is one reason why the boom has brought no accompanying rush of spending or outward show of prosperity. Hatters are paying up old bills or banking money against the return of hard times.
 Alertness on the part of Dan- bury's hat executives was partially responsible for the sudden boom. Manufacturers here beat the inn porters of foreign hats to the punch when the desire for Eugenie bonnets first was evident.
 The demand for mems hats is brisk, they said. but not as great as for women's. The II hat factories at Norwalk also are working to capacity.
 At Danbury. last weeks payroll was $34O,0O0. The total payroll for the past four weeks was nearly $1,500. .000, a record.
 For many years no distinctly "new" style was forthcoming in women's hats. Consequently a woman could wear her hats for more than a single season by some reblocking or remodelling. The Eugenie hat, however, was radical ly different, and if a woman want ed to follow the styles she had to have a Eugenie or one of its varia- tions. Hence the boom period here.

Figures of the health depart ment show that the infantile paralysis epidemic is slipping to a point showing the best record in weeks. Twenty-one active cases are now on record, with total report ed so far of 109. There are no pa tients seriously i'll and progress IS being noted in all cases.
 It is considered forgone con clusion that the schools will be opened the coming week. and there is but little doubt that the kiddies will be tripping to school Monday after A prolonged vacation.
 The past two week have seen a decided let-down in the number of cases reported and releases are scheduled for the next few days which will bring the number or cases down to a dozen or so.

Seven highway construction and reconstruction projects were added to-day by Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald to Connecti- cuts already extensive program for 1881. Three of the new jobs announced will be accomplished under the state aid appropriation of 1927 and four under the town aid appropriation of 1881.

her job. You may rest assured that
little teacher-or is it big one-knows
what he or she is about when the as
signments are so arranged as to Sc
cure the absorbed interest of the en-

in natural activities in completing their

ROADS VERSUS DOLEs

It is generally believed in America that the only fea
sibe cure for the unemployment problem is to provide
jobs-and not does The experience Of England, rdded
with debt largely because of it's outo work pensions has
not been missed by thinking citizens of this country.
Stimulated public works the part of the states is be-
ing advocated all sides. Foremost among such activ
tiles is the building of roads In many eighty cents
of the road dollar goes to labor which most needs it, and
building materials extremey cheap at the present
time
AS consequence number Of states planning in
tensive road programs for the winter Few localities have
sufficient improved road mileage. We have developed
great trunk highways between main centers of population
while, for the most part, five ten miles away, farm
ing roads subject to the vagares of weather
and the
1t may be that good feeder roads will be prime
factor in alternating the need for American dole And
every dollar spend on them will produce many
dollars in the form of more efficient transport easier dis
posal of farm produce and similar benefits.

is ready to abide by the will of the majority Cenaa

DO OUR SCHOOLS KNOW WHERE
THEY ARE GOING?
BY @. r. Frazier
Assistant superintendent Of Seattle
Public Schools

Johnnie doesn't have to study like
I used to. declining verbs and parsing
nouns and diagramming sentences.
Now all he has to do is tell in writ
ing all about what his dog does or how
the clouds fly across the sky. School
certainly isn't what 1t used to be. I
sometimes feel that Johnnie isn't get
ting anywhere"
How often does one hear some such
comment on the part of elders when
the subject of school is discussed.
Probably the speaker has never thought
about the new methods used by the
schools, although he may have kept
abreast Of all the improvements in
automobiles, airplanes and agriculture
1t is a far cry from the old day
when the stern school-master ordered
certain tasks accomplished and, by
sheer will power plus the rod, saw that
they were ACCOMPLISHED and on sched-
ule time, to the present day with the
school presided over in most cases by
"a Short-haired, more or less flapper-
ish girl who is not ashamed of the
fact that she is reasonably good look
ing or perhaps by more or less callow
youth with high ideals and a rugged
constitution. In the old school the
tasks were assigned with precision and
enforced with severity, but what about
the new schools? Are they sparing the
rod and spelling the child?
1t is true there is less severity but
along with that is there not much
greater interest and devotion to learn
ing? 1t is at least a partial explana-
ton of the situation to say that the
modern teacher recognizes that as a
condition favorable to the greatest
progress in learning it is necessary to
secure the absorbed interest" of the
pupil, that this absorbed interest is
the real motive power of learning.
Neither coaxing nor coercion will pro-
duce results anywhere nearly as aston
ishing or satisfying for the simple rea-
son that under these conditions the
attitude of the child is not a favor
