“Scientific improvements, M he
writes, “which are constantly be
ing made in machinery, processes
of manufacture, finishing, testing
and distribution of textiles are
creating an increasing demand for
young men who have been thor
oughly trained in the science and
practice of the textile arts.”
A shortage of trained men in an
otherwise overcrowded field—it is
a condition to be studied, particul
arly by young -people nearing the
close of high school days.
Trained men in any line seldom
are jobless.

CHRONIC PESSIMISTS
It’s the easiest thing in
world to knock.
It’s the easiest thing in the
world to stay away from the pri
mary election and then complain
about the nominee of your party.
It’s easy to take no part in the
parent-teacher association meet
ings and then knock on the
schools.
It’s easy to play golf or go pic-
nicing all day Sunday and then
criticize the church because it does
not draw crowds.
It’s just the easiest thing in the
world to degenerate into a sour
faced, disagreeable, self-satisfied,
chronic grumbler.
Every city, every town, no mat
ter how large or how small, has its
chronic pessimists, who see noth
ing but the bad in everything and
cto'ndbfchJg to porreet it.
• A '•certain* nuitlber will always
exist, no doubt, as a horrible ex
ample for the rest of us, and even
though they do no good, they at
least forever will stand out as a
living manifestation of what for
ward-looking people should not be.

SPENDING OUR MONEY
Wlien a merchant sells an ar&cle
he makes a certain profit over and
above the wholesale cost of the
goods, the transportation, • and the
cost of handling. This rule applies
the world over.
Suppose the people of this com
munity have $500,000 to sflend
within a given length of time.
Is it better to keep the profits
at home and in circulation among
us, or is it wiser to send it all
away?
For purposes of illustration, we
will say the dealer’s profit is 15
per cent, or $75,000.
If the people send away for this
$500,000 worth of goods all of the
money they send away will stay
away" Wo will never see it again.
If, on the other hand, the peo
ple buy those goods from local
dealers, the only money" to be
-sent away the wholesale
cost of the goods andjthe trans
portation charges.
The 15 per cent profit will re
ed with confidence, to ^ continue
their studies in institutions of
higher learning or to take their
places in the business world. In
| either course they are to be more
[or less upon their own. Until now,
( they have been t# a great extent
=! funder the watchful care and guid
ance of their parents, but from
henceforth, either in college or the
the business world, they must depend
more upon themselves.
Upon the foundation laid, the
character formed, the ideals fixed
in their mentality rests the cer
tainty of success. The questions
in the minds of many parents are:
Will they, upon their own initia
tive, go forward? Are they equip
ped to meet and cope with the
problems and difficulties which
will confront them? If not, upon
whom is the blame?
Primarily, the responsibility for
their future rests upon the public
schools. It is in these institutions
that the boys and girls have spent
the greater portion of their time.
It is there that they have received
their initial equipment. And, since
the schools are what the public
makes them, the duty of seeing
that the youth of this country has
the best possible training is shad
ed by every citizen. This duty is a
grave one and should not be skirk-
ed. ‘
Let every citizen take an inter
est in the public schools and, wit
nessing the ceremonies of a gradu
ation exercise, be able to assure
himself that he has done his part,
to the best of his ability, to give
these young citizens a good, basic
foundation upon which to build
their future.

Cellulose Industries
Use Peanut Hulls
Peanut hulls, now regarded as a
farm waste, with a value of only
about $2 a ton for fuel, may be
come commercially important as a
source of cellulose to supplement
cotton linters and wood pulp in
America’s rapidly developing cel
lulose industries, say D. F. J.
Lynch and M. J. Goss, chemists of
the Department of Agriculture’s
Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, who
have been seeking to discover and
develop profitable outlets for this
farm waste of the Southern States.

which collect annually at the

It is only a matter of time, say
the chemists, until the depletion
of the forests and the attendant
scarcity of wood pulp, together

Thurber Praised In
Report Of Near
East Relief Work
WASHINGTON, May 28.—The
work of C. C. Thurber, formerly
on the staff of the U. S. Public
Health Hospital at Greenville ^as
been commended in the annual
report of Near East Relief recent
ly submitted to Congress. A plan
to improve methods of living in
Near Eastern countries by proper
leadership, using as a nucleus for
operations 132,000 children previ
ously in the American Orphanages
and now living in village, rural
and refugee communities, was out
lined in the report. It is on this
basis that Near East Foundation,
recently incorporated to succeed
Near East Relief, will work.
As managing director of the
Creek area, Mr. Thurber has in his
charge 1,255 city-placed orphans
still under active supervision and
the. direction of six Working Boys
and Girls Homes housing 340 and
nine Night Schools serving 630.
“These centers have a demonstra
ble community value and social
force in relation to the Armeian
refugees in Athens and Piraeus
and the low health state contribut
ing to tuberculosis, the death rate
in Greece being twelve times that
of the United States,” the report
reads. “In the two cities are 3,000
additional boys and girls not now
under active supervision but re
quiring some co-operation and ad
vice in view of the following eco
nomic situation:
“A report based on Department
of Commerce statistics and con
firmed by the Greek Minister
seems* to indicate that the present
cost of living is approximately 20
times pre-war cost, treble that of
1922 and increasing at an average
of 22 per cent yearly, with rents
increased 28 times the pre-war
index. The average salary scale is
somewhat less than 12 times pre
war, and wages approximately 15
times. The average unemployment
of adults is 20 per cent, with busi
ness slowly recovering.
“The American centers demon
strate what can be done in the ad- j
justment of the boy, or girl, to en-'
vironment and employment. A
result of these demonstrations is
that the municipality of Piraeus
has included a part of the cost of
the work in that city in the mun
icipal budget as a beginning of
local co-operation, and a society
to solve problems of juvenile de
linquency has been started. The
Piraeus Home and School is situ
ated near the docks and is occu
pied by 90 boys, with a night school
attendance of 100. The boys pro
vide their own food, the home pro
viding shelter, clothing, medical
care night classes and supervis
ion.”
Under Mr. Thurber’s supervision
in Athens are various disease pre
vention activities, including sum
mer camps for tubercular children,
a tuberculosis pavilion for chil
dren. The training of nurses, also
of deaf'and blind orphans, and a
school for leaders in social wel
fare, agriculture and other trades
on the Island of Syra in the
Aegean Sea.
Over 2,000 Children
Aided By Hospital
ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 28.—More
than 2,690 deformed boys and girls
have been restored to practical
normality through operations at
the Shriners’ Hospital for Crippled
Children in this city sinoe its open
ing in April, 1924. The actual fig
ures, as presented in the record of
that institution, are 2,623, and
jthey are being augmented each
month by from thirty to forty.
The latter figures do not include
what are termed out-patients, or
those whose deformities, although
| serious to the afflicted ones, are
not of a nature to require their
stay in the hospital while under-
g9ing treatment.
j During April of the present year
thirty-one children were discharg
ed from the hospital, and eighty-
eight others had been approved for
admission when facilities for treat
ing them were available. The ut
most capacity is 110 beds, some
of which are reserved for emerg
ency cases, being in what is known
as the receiving ward.
No restriction of race or creed is
imposed by the hospitals upon the
applicants. The only limitations
apply to age and financial condit
ion. It is a cardinal requirement
that no child for whose treatment
there is ability to pay shall be re
ceived by any of the Shriners’
hospitals, nor is there charge of
even a penny for care of patient
during his or her stay in the hos
pital. •

Weather Man
Tells How To Out
Rim A Tornado
“In level, open country,” says the
Weather Bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
“an automobile often affords the
best means of protection from
tornadoes, except where a well-
constructed tornado cellar is avail
able.
“Tornadoes occur chiefly during
the day, and thus in open country
they can often be seen for several
miles. Though by far the . most
violent of all storms, the tornado
covers, at any one moment a rel
atively small area; generally not
greater than that of a few city
blocks. While the winds blow at
enormous speed around its center,
the progressive movement of the
storm as a whole is quite moder
ate, averaging about 40 miles an
hour, and in very few cases reach
ing 60 miles an hour.
“Most tornadoes move toward
the northeast, - a few toward the
southeast, and the rest, with al
most negligible exceptions, in some
other easterly direction. More
over, the path generally varies but
little from a straight line, so that
the direction in which a storm is
seen to be moving Is likely to be
the one that it will follow until it
dies out.
“From these facts it follows that
when a tornado is sighted several
miles away a person generally has
time to escape by taking a course
at right angles to its path, and the
automobile is obviously a valuable
adjunct for escape, provided there
is a road leading in the right dir
ection. *
One positive proof that a storm
is a tornado is the elongated, fun
nel-shaped, or cylindrical cloud
dangling from the sky toward the
earth. This cloud is not always
seen, but the general apearance of
the sky in the direction of a tor
nado is usually very striking. The
clouds are thrown into a wild tur
moil and are strangely colored; jet
black, greenish, or purple where
dark, but often mingled with
steamlike grays and whites. A ter
rifying roar, which has been com
pared to thousands of railroad cars
crossing a bridge, may be heard at
considerable distance.”
