W. Nolan, aseitant professor of agricul? tural extension at the University of Illinois. "Since the passage of the Smtih Hughea vocational education act in 1917. teachers of agriculture are now at work in all the states of the Union." Professor Nolan said. "These teach? ers are employed for 12 months in the year. They are paid partly from local funds and partly from federal funds granted by the vocational act. "Under the provisions of this law. al] students enrolling in vocational agriculture, with teachers thus em? ployed, must carry on for six months of the year, as a required part of their course, a farm project under the sup? ervision of the teacher. "A teacher of agriculture literally lives with the boys during the summer months, directing their work, study and business In connection with their farm projects. The boys in these classes are usually organized into va catlonal clubs under which auspices trips are taken to sales, fairs, universi? ties, agricultural exhibits, and good farms. All of this reacts to the moral and social, as well as the vocational and agricultural education of the boys. "For the fiscal year ending June 30. 1920. nearly 2.000 schools had estab? lished departments of vocational agri? culture and over 45,ooo boys had en? rolled in the work, carrying on farm practice as required. The Federal Hoard reported for the year that the income from the project of the boys carrying on tho farm practice was ap? proximately 11,000.000, a sum of money larger than the federal grant to the Statesifor carrying on the work in agriculture." RESULTS OF THE ftWHrTH IIKI> CROSS HOLL CALL Atlanta. Ga., Dec. 10?Marked re? vival of interest in the peace time program of tho American Red Cross on the part of chapters that nave done little or no Red Cross work since the ? erar Is the outstanding reature of early reports received *t southern itlvtalon headquarters on tfte result of Die Fourth Red Cross Roll Call. For the past two years since the NSjrnlng of the armistice, there hive been a number of Red Cross chapters which have allowed their interest to die down, although the majority or" chapters In the division carried on the i peace work of the Red Cross with en? thusiasm. A number of chapters which were chapters In name only, were so impressed by the peacetime work of the Red Cross, ss demon? strated by their sister chapters. t'.iaA they decided to hold a roil call thia year. Only A ft ecu of them have so ported at division headquarters ua ?uccesaful and more are expected to be added to the list as further re? ports are received. Thus, the Roll Call not only will enable many chapters to give their communities Red Cross service on a bigger and better scale than ever next year, but It will bring Hed Cross, sor eice to a number of communities that have been without it since the war. Keports received thus far show that ?vvernl chapters exceeded their last Kear's record and some doubled the number of members they got in the third roll call. So successful have these chapters beon in enroling ma.a bero that shoir programs for li! t will include many phases of health work, eocial service and other Redj Dross actlvif lee not possible for them last year. Fifty per cent of the dollar membership fees went to the chap? ters in the Fourth Roll Call, to Im> extended in chapter service for live;. communities where the money waa subscribed. Nothing definite on the result of lbe Holl Call as a whole can yet be gi\ m out. it Is stated at headquarters, since less thuu twenty per cent of the chap? ters in the south have made their re? ports yet. and most of these are In* complete. While most chapters con? ducted the Roll Call from Novemlxr 11 to November 26, some are sill working, others have not yet held the Itoll Call, and a big percentage are en? gaged in tabulating the returns. Judiftng fron? the curly reporia, however. Hed Cross officials are con? vinced that the south made as gooo a record on the roll call as any pert of the country and that next y* it will see as much, If not more, K gj Cross work done in the south as lust year. One of the outstanding reu tu res o?' tho ttsril Ca! In the south was the fact, that the southern division had the first chapter In the country to get ;is quota. Thomaevllle, N.

B. Rhodes, vice-president of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co., KoWark, N. .f.. at its fourteenth 'an? nual convention told the association of jit'e insurance presidents here to? day. Although emphasizing- the multi? ple taxation of life insurance, Mr. Rhodes urged that it is far better that insurance men shall sincerely and wholeheartedly cooperate with the government in finding a reason aide basis of taxation than that they should take an antagonistic position towards all plans that may be pre? sented. "What is th position of one who has sought insurance protection, in SO tar as federal taxes are concern? ed?" asked the speaker. "In the first place, he pays a tax at the rate of eighty cents per $1,000 of insurance for the privilege of insuring his life. In the second place, he pays a per? sonal tax upon so much of his in? come as is required to pi } the prem? ium, is again taxed when it reacnes the company of which he is a member In the fourth place, if the assessment of an excess profits tax is upheld by the courts the premium is .-?gain taxed. In the filth place, so much of his premium as Is held by the com? pany for contingencies is again taxed as a capital stock ta\\ In the sixth place, when the amount insured is paid to his estate it Is again taxed. "This is taxation with a vengeance. The insured is caught coming, stand? ing still and going, in a transaction which he does not enter into for pro? fit and in which there can be no pro? fit.' Devoting his attention further to a consideration of Federal Income Tax Law, Mr. Rhodes not only called into question its constitutionality, so far as it affects life insurance, but gave an analysis of the inequality which he said results to the various companies from the actual operation of the law. "The Income Tax Law applied to life insurance companies," Mr. Rhodes declared, "fails to meet some of the most important criteria of sound) methods of taxation. It does not boar equally upon different compan? ies. It does hot provide any cer? tainty of Income to the govrenment. The amount of tax is not easily de terminable, and when determined it is not, as implied, a tax on net income. The tax is collected only at heavy expense to the government and to \ the companies. "It is not at all clear that in so far as life insurance companies are con? cerned the present law meets tn8 con? stitutional requirements." Mr. Rhodes took a definite stand in opposition to fhe theory that prem? iums should be taxed as income of the insurance companies. LLOYD GEORGE TO DISCUSS QUESTION London, Dec. 9 (By the Associated Press.? It. is announced that Premier Lloyd George will make an important statement on Ireland on the open? ing of the house of commons at noon Friday. The terms of the statement were dubtless discussed at the conference t jtween the premier. Andrew Bonar Law, the government leader in the commons; Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secretory for Ireland, and sev? eral officers of the Irish department which was he d at the premier's offi? cial residence in Downing street this afternoon, but no official indication [Wasl given ton!ght as to what decision had been reached. Many reports are current in the lobbies as to what the premier is likely to say. It is believed in some quarters that he will announce the possibility that the government will declare martial law in Ireland, al? though at the same time indicate the readiness of the government to enter into conversations with the moder? ate Sinn Foimrs with a view to set? tlement. The parliamentary correspondent of the London Times says that the pre? mier is expected to announce more fully than heretofore the conditions on which the government is willing fo open official negotiations and may indicate how far he regards the Sinn Fein conditions acceptable. Official circles do not conceal that the promiSY d?'sires a settlement, but intimate that he is uncertain as to whether the present moment is most propitious. Roth The Times and The Daily Mail emphasiSS the importance of the pre? mier's interviews with Monsignor Clune. The Mail asserts that the whole position has been considerably changed by the bishop s message from Michael Collins, commander of the Republican army.

NAVY NEEDS MORE OFFICERS Chief of Bureau of Navigation Urges That Personnel he Aug? mented to Full Strength Washington, Dec. 9.? Dec laring j that the officer personnel or the navy ! should he augmented to full strength 1 ami placed on a permanent basis ' "with tho least possible delay," Rear ! Admiral Thomas Washington, chiet* of tho bureau of navi?ation in his annual report to Secretary Daniels to? day describes the personnel situation as the most serious proolem before the navy. Even though 1,200 reserve and temporary officers are taken into the regular establishment as permit? ted by law during the coming year the shortage of officers May 1, 1921 will be equal to seven years output of the naval academy, Admral Wash? ington declares. Preen present indications and unless remedial legislation is obtained the temporary appointments of 7 rear ad? mirals, ti7 captains., 154 commanders and 380 lieutenant commanders will have to be revoked July 1, 1921 da ? to shortage of officers, in the lower grades, the report says. More attention must be paid to the personnel side of the conduct of tho navy, Admiral Washington says, as? serting that "this point or view does not now prevail.'' ' The attention of the navy and of all those who In any way enter into the activities of the navy must be concentrated equally on the ships and the men who man them," the report says. "The long period of material re? construction covering new building programs has diverted too large a share of service attention from ques? tions of personnel." Commenting on the enilsted men situation, Admiral Washington slates (hat the navy lias very largely recov? ered from the post-war reaction that virtually stopped recruiting. At the rate new men are now entering the service the authorized strength will be reached by July 1, next, his report states. Due to the !<-Ss of a large per? centage of the navy's older enlisted men, however, the report says that the enlisted forc e has not yet gained normal efficiency. Resignations during the fiscal year from the officer force have been se? rious, Admiral Washington says, the line being particularly hard hit. At the end of the year there were more than 450 fewer line officers in the ser? vice than on November 1 despite the fact that a class had graduated front, the naval academy in the meantime. A total of ?06 officers resigned fron? the regular navy during the year, which 94 were line officers, leaving a shortage of about 2.400 officers in the permanent establishment A considerable portion or the re? pent was devoted to the naval reserve force, an annual appropriation of at least 1600,000 for the administration of this service being recommended. "The expenditure of money for this purpose from year to year will at first appear perhaps large." nays the ad? miral, "but when it is consderod that the maintenance of this ton e in an ef? ficient state will not only save the gov? ernment a lar*e share of the amount that would be expended for the pur? pose if war should again nnd us un? prepared, but will practically insure victory on the sea following a dec? laration of war, an insurance is gained at comparatively small cost and as such in a measure of economy." The World War demonstrated that the navy could not rely on the mer? chant service for officers und men in time of war. Admiral Washington states, urging in this connection that the members Of the merchant marine be given at least the fundamentals of naval training for use in time of emer? gency. The naval reserve force now con? sists of 28,000 officers and 235.000 en? rolled men, the report says, the ma? jority of whom are Interested in the work and will probably remain in the service. More than 8,000 of the of? ficers and fully 100,000 of the men are qualified for the duties of their rank on combatant ships of the navy in time of war, Admiral Washington adds.
