1^ I, 11 RIALTO TODAY MR. AND MRS. CARTER DeHAVEN IN "THE GIRI. !N THE TAXI" From the Ctagc Play by Stanislaus Strange A First National Picture TOMORROW DUSTIN FARNUM THE PRIMAL LURE" What Feeblemindedness Is A feoMeminded prison is one whose mind is too small to direct him how to live properly. The feebleminded are classified as follows: Idiots, who are under three years of rlrP mentally: Imbeciles, who are umh r e'trht years < r atre mentally; and Morons, who arc i nder 12 years mentally. I eeblemindedness in Our i'uhlic Schools. More than six thousand typical school children from representative sections of South Carolina were recently tested by a trained staff fron the National Committee for Mental Hygiene. They found 2.8 per cent 01 the white children and 4.2 per cent ol the colored children to be mentally defective. From these facts it is osti mated that there are not less than thirteen thousand feebleminded school children in our state. Six cities ir South Carolina have initiated special classes for the proper training ol thc\-.e handicapped children. One hun. dred and three are being cared for a! the State Training School for tin Feehh minded at Clinton, South Car olina. Thousands of these unfortunate children are yet unrecognized as men tally defective and are constat)! trials to their parents and teachers both in scholarship and behavior Eve n for those recognized as feebleminded the efforts made by the pub lie for their training and treatment are pitifully inadequate. Again thej are a hindrance and a handicap tc the norm! children of their classes actually retarding their progress anc slowing down to the level of the inferior mind. In later life the sac combination of a children mind and adult years brings these unfortunates into conflict with society's custom and laws. If untrained, these mental defectives usually become dependent? and delinquents. However, it has beer proven that by special training in in dustrial and vocational lines some ol C. I hem may become self-supporting an< many more may be trained to usefulness. What Shall We Do About Feeble mindedness. There should be established a traveling clinic with a trained staff to visit the schools and diagnose th* mental defects of the children, and to provide medical service for all those whose condition may be improved tl o'-r 'e\ The State Training School for the Feebleminded should be enlarged so that more of the unusually difficult cases may be properly train ed. Special classes should be inaug. \ urn ted in all of the larger public schools of the state so that these feebleminded children might have the benefits of trained teachers, not Only *1 to teach them, but to visit them in their homes and instruct their parent? in th,. proper care and training oi (hem. Bolshevik Propagada Spread Among Boys Warsaw July 9.?The Warsaw polire have uncovered here an organization for the spreading of Bolshevik propaganda among school hoys. Twenty-four boys under 29 years of age have been arrested, and the papers siezed recealed branches of the organization all over Poland.

Oil of th(. batiputa berries, a product of sandy coastal regions of several Brazilian states, is reported to be equal to the be.it olive oil, both as food and medicine. It Looks as if the Southern Cotton Planter Will Soon See Daylight A common expression heard these days, goes?"Why, if the South can sell its cotton around 21c it would get lich." Well, saw we, what if the South should make a little money! Lord, isn't it about time? Why shouldn't cotton sell even at 31c if it possesses that intrinsic value? One would think from such remarks that the Southern planter has no right to make any real profit, and that the byst he should hope for is to turn "the sweat of his brow" into a living wage, being content to stand aside and watch others garner the big profits through handling what he has produced. Just pause a minute and think of the cotton mills that have declared dividends i dividings) of from 20 per cent to 100 per cent year after year for a lone, lone time. Show us. if vou can. the planter who can boast of any such profits. The recent report of the Department of Agriculture estimates a yield of 11,005,000 bales this season, or .19 per cent larger than the last crop of 7,051,041 bales. This compares with 1.1,419.001 in 1920, 11,420,703 in 1919 and 12,040,5.12 bales in 1918. The total production was calculated on a condition of 71.2 of normal as of .Tune 25th, and an estimate of about 34,852,000 acres, an increase of 10 per cent over .11,078,000 last year. Foreign buyers paid $51,249,252 for raw cotton and cotton cloth shipped from the United States during May. This is a gain of 52 per cent over May, 1921. In several countries of the Far Fast, the importations of American textile goods have increased 1,000 per cent over 1914. We have contended for over a year that the whole world was as bare of cotton fabrics as a bull frog is of feathers, and that more and more each month this demand would increase. It's hardly begun. During the first week of last De1 comber cotton sold at lGc. Last Monday it sold at 23Vi?a clean rise of 725 points or 7 14 cents per pound. We are going to stick steadfast to our original prediction >f last December that the priee will cross 25c, but we 1 are not so dumb as to believe substan' tial reactions won't occur from time to time. Others can urge buying at ' the top, but not us. No sir.e-! It is 1 of course possible for the price to " shoot on through the roof without a pause, but we thing it is far safer? far more sensible to be a little patient and wait for the reactions than to get ! excited and risk buying right at the top. Don't be too hasty. The market L ' is not going to run away?it will be here and ready for you when you are ready to take advantage of a good reaction. Just think how strong cotton has u been in the face of so many disturbr ing factors. ' There are serious mill ' strikes here and abroad, coal and railroad strikes, wide-spread political un ' rest and Europe as a whole is sitting ' on top of a volcano which is likely to ' erupt most any day. If there was not ' an actual shortage of cotton?if keen 5 business men of foresight did not un! derstand the situation exactly, do you ' believe we would see cotton selling ! wher0 it is now? There is something 1 behind this rise other than speculation. 1 At the moment we believe the ' whole market should work to a lower level through the process of what Wall Street is pleased to call?"Shaking out the weak holders for the purpose of strengthening the technical position of the market." Under these 1 circumstances all we feel like advising our customers is this?in the event a fair sized reaction takes place during the early part of the coming week | we urge that purchases be made on a scale downward. By this we mean to buy modestly at first and be ready to buy more at a lower level if the opportunity offers. Oliver & Houghton, ( By J. S. Oliver.

It to a compoi'aBOolj easy matter to become an expert In the quick handling of money and aleo to detect bills that have been raised, according to those who have tried. A large proportion of the bills now in circulation are federal reserve notes. Those in common use have identification characteristics, in addition to the numerals, easy to memorize. Cashiers who handle large and small bills rapidly usually memorize the portrait on the bill* which are large enough to be unmistakable as the ma Jor mark of Identification, with the numerals as the minor aid. The two combined are well-nigh Infallible, save 'n the case of clever counterfeits. As the raising of bills is accomplished with the numerals, familiarity with the portraits, and comparison, will ver Ify the proper denomination of tho hills. The portraits on the federal reserve bills in everyday use are as follows: One-dollar notes, portrait of George Washington. Two-dollar notes, oortralt ef Thomas Jefferson. Five-dollar notes, portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Ten-dollar notes, portrait of Andrew faekson. Twenty-dollar notes, portrait of Qrover Cleveland. Fifty-dollar notes, portrait of U. 8.

Chiung-Ming is Man of Iron Will Canton, July 9.?General Chen Chiung-Ming, who has become a dominating figure in South China by the overthrow of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, is a man of iron will and forceful, determined character. This, at least, is the impression gained by The Associated Press correspondent, who visited him at his headquarters in Weichow, Kwangtung Province, and it seems to be borne out by the rapidity with which he has advanced to his ull-powerful position as the "man of the hour" in the troubled area extending in all directions from the seat of his government. In appearance General ChiungMing represents the highest type of Chinese intellectual. His head is large, well shaped, and replete with | characteristics which would interest a phrenologist. The forehead is broad and high; the nose somewhat longer and less broad than is usual among the Chinese; the eyes lack the pronounced Oriental slant; the mouth is lurge and the chin square and determined. Just at present General Chiung-Ming is wearing a mustache closely cropped over the upper lip hut long and drooping at the points. His head is closely shaved with the exception of a tuft-like patch of hair on the top, recalling the pig-tail that was abolished throughout China a .1 I uecaue a^o. In height he is above the average of his countrymen. His movements ure supple und suggestive of considerable physical strength. He invariably dresses in the silk robes which are the accepted attire of the country, despite the fact that they have been discarded in favor of European styles by many of the more enlightened classes of the empire. For his headquarters, office and residence, General Chiung-Ming has taken a beautiful little cottage that stands alone on a tiny tree-covered island in the midst of one of the picturesque lakes for which Kwangtung is famous. From this isolated position he is able to avoid many audiences that could not be side-stepped without giving offense were he in a more accessible place. He has arranged to keep a secretary in a small boat moored off the island. The boat is equipped with a telephone, and before a visitor is permitted to land the General must signify his willingness to receive him. If the caller is welcome , he transfers to a small scow, which is sculled to the island by an aged boatman. If the visitor is a representative of the press, he has had his trouble for nothing, for General Chiung-Ming refuses to say a word for publication or otherwise. He simply states that he is out of politics for the present, htat he is very busy with the movements of his troops, and that he will return to Canton and serve his country as a loval patriot when the proper time comes. It is understood, however, that he regards the movements of Dr. Sun Yat Sen in Kiangsi as "bluff," or merely of a trategical nature to prepare his army for an attack on the northwest part of the province. There also is strong belief among those in close touch with the situation in the interior that an understanding exists between General Chiung-Ming and Marshal Wu Pei Fu, the northern border leader, which ' practically assures the position of 1 both unless unforseen strength de- ' velops among Sun's forces. < i Bullfightig in Mexico Scored by Newspapers 1 j < Mexico City, July 9.?The future 1 of bullfighting in Mexico is not as certain as its most ardent devotees ' would wish as the result of a series ' of newspaper and other attacks ' against it as the national sport.
