Thus loudly protested five freshmen of Flora MacDonald college, at Red Springs, who appealed to Henry Ford, to send them?five hungry college girls?something to eat. For the letter apparently was not, taken as a practical joke, and brought a representative of the automobile king to North Carolina to investigate the condition of the "starving girls." A subsequent letter of apology was written by the same five girls, | and was preceded by one from the president, Dr. C. G. Vardell, who was not aware of the first letter to Ford. In the second letter, the girls, looking back on their "childish" action of a. few weeks before the im? pressive maturity, informed the auto magnate that students at Flora MacDonald "are well provided for with nourishment." They now regard their action as I "an expression of the mischief which springs eternal in the school girl's breast, and we had hoped, if our letter had ever reached you that you Would feel the same way."

Angeles, Qftl,?-Scientific ?duration has proved that all children ire equally ed tic a table. A very appreciable group in any .ommunity has ability noticeably ibove that of the rest of the ehilirtn -ability to go much faster if hey have only as much to do as the rest or to do more if they proceed through the grades at the same rate is the rest. What shall the schools, fashioned is they are to handle average groups it an average rate, do to properly are for these super-children? Shall the> simply refuse to tackle the problem because it is both difficult and expensive ? Io loaders of tomorrow will come from this group. Shall we not do better by them that they may later return the investment an hundredth? Does this greater opportunity mean that they are to go ahead as fast at they can absorb the regular average course of study? Shall we. hurry them along so they may finish the <dght grade of the elementary school at the age of ten or eleven? Do wo want them out of high school at 14 or 16 to face college courses in childhood and bachelor's degrees at an age more approximate to the beginning of a college course? Many educators believe that such a hurried type of education has its perils both for the child and for society. Such young children may easily absorb what books and teachers have to offer, but at those points where subjects of a broad general sort are to be taken they gain no real basic understanding of the meaning of the work. Furthermore, throughout their courses they will associate with students much older than themselves. Real comradeship seldom develops under such circumstances. They often acquire thus a habit of social isolation that may always be a handicap to their greatest usefulness. Such pupils, too, have a tendency to become academic because they have had time to do little but study books. Often after a brilliant high school and college career in books they disappoint all promise of their school days and are not heard of again. What can we do for these children ? Let us induce them to make haste slowly and explore a bit broadly. I^t them participate in the rich offqriogs of the school of art, music and manual activities in shops and laboratories. Induce them to become as human as possible with a breadtn of appreciation and outlook that will make real leaders in school and afterwards. Because of its great strength elasticity, and marvelous durability, teak is considered by the United States Forest Service as the most valuable wood, commanding a price of nearly $1,000 for 1,000 feet. Plowed A 60-Mile -Furrow Last fall an Arkansas farmer created a strir by plowing a furrow a mile long. Then an Oklahoman announced he had plowed an unbroken furrow two miles long. After that a Kansan reported one three miles long and then another Kansap produced witnesses to prove he had plowed one five mile long. But the j Grant County Republican produces records to show that a- locating agent at Meade, Kan., in the summer of 1875, plowed an urtbroken furrow 60 miles long. It was necessary to estabjjsh a publ ic road between Meade and Ulysses. So George DeCow hitched a plow behind a wagon and "with the aid of a compass a bee line was made to Ulysses and an unbroken furrow plowed all the way, a distance of 60 miles." That ought to hold Arkansas and Oklahoma awhile. ?Capper's Weekly. , 1 Girl Has Great Thrill St. Petersburg, Fla., Feb. 29: An 18-year-old girl's ambition to set a new world record for a parachute jump was prevented from ending in tragedy here yesterday by her quick thinking pilot, who brought his ship from an altitude of 15,000 feet to a landing on one wheel and a wing tip while the plucky lass dangled from the under carriage. Jeanne Durand, the girl, went aloft with Dr. R. L. Ellis, of Minneapolis, Minn. When an altitude of 15,000 feet was reached she went over the side, but her parachute caught on the plane and left her dangling in midair, unable to climb back to the wing of the plane or to release herself. Ellis, realizing what had happened, headed for the field, while the crowd below stood helpless and horror stricken, watching the slender form of the girl dangle from the wing. Coming down to the field, Ellis ^ tipped his machine over to one 'side, but the girl was dragged 200 feet before the plane came to a stop. She was bruised, but not seriously injured. (KIMK A 8AFK HU8INH88 Due to Ineffidenry <?f Court* and l*o lice in ( harge. New York, Feb 29.?The inefficiency of police aful the courts has made crime about the safest business in the United State*, Dr. l^ouis N. Robinson state* in a report made public Monday, by the Nationul Crime commission. The report summarizes the finding* of a sub-committee ?<f which Frank 0. I?wdon, former governor of Illinoi*, is"chairman. It include* figures purporting to show the i atio of arrests to crimes committed and the number of convictions compared with arrests. The combined figure* on murder and manslaughter for the entire country of Knglund place the ratio of arrests. for these crimes at 82 per per cent. The city in the United Slates which the police are most efficient in dealings with killing is Cleveland, where the percentage is 83, says the report. Baltimore has a percentage of 68, Kansas City, Mo., 36 and St. Louis 16. In robbery cases, the ratio of arrests to crime drops sharply with Cleveland at the top of the list with 49 per cent. In Buffalo, N. Y., only three per cent, of the robbers are caught, the report says. "A robbery in Buffalo," the report says, "must be a particularly lucrative calling. Arrests are marie in only 3 per cent, of the cases, the number who were finally convicted is necessarily so small that the luckless individual who is occasionally caught and convicted must attribute his misfortune to an act of God as he would in case of a disastrous storm, shipwreck or earthquake. Failure in the courts to convict in many cases is laid to two causes-neglect on the part of police to obtain the necessary evidence and the inefficiency of the court machinery. The criminal, the commission holds, has no fewer than nine chances of evading imprisonment. "Science has as yet gained little foothold in the work of protecting society from crime," the report continues. Firecrackers are used in China at social, religious, and military functions, and at births and funerals. Red firecrackers are for the common people, yellow for the aristocracy, and green for the officers of the law. ??l I Mm. L. McManus Dead Mrs. Maggie L. MoMuiius, wife of iC. I..
