AMERICA’S ALLING” | Speaker Touched Lightly Upon! The Political Conditions In Her State Cohunbia, M n,.21,—Defense of the people of North Dakota was mado here Thursday night by Miss Miunie J. Neilson, state superintendent of public instruction in that state, in an addr made to the attendants of the-annual Farmers Week Conference at the Uni- f M d ca’s Calling,” letters S mean the ess ope ve Our Ship” of the wire- tor at sea, or “Ship of State” © Our State” or afeguard Schools.” ‘The phrases were synonomous in/ American _nomencla- ture, declart s Neilson. | The speaker touched lightly upon the political conditions in the state which ‘she represented on the weeks program ‘here, confining the most of her talk.to the danger signals appear- ing before the crew of the National Ship of State. ¢ N. D. People Sourd at ‘Heart That the people of North Dakota were sound at heart, Miss Neilson ex- plained, was proven by the fact that each time questions that threatened the former organization of the North Dakota Schools was presented to the | people, they held to the conservative path, The Jarger part of Miss Neil- son's addres was ‘upon the educa- tional qualifications necessary for fu- ture crews of the Ship of State that the red danger signal of selfish greed and the black danger signal of ignor- ance might be recognized. + In beginning, Miss Neilson laid the basis that the fundamentals, the or- iginal blue prints of the national Ship ot State, as defiled in the Constitu- tion was correct. Following the speci- fications outlined, the nation could not go wrong. , It was for the crew, which included every one on the ship, that present training must.be had, for the crew must man the ship, must read the chart of progress, must sce the rocks jof danger, must be able to inter- pret conditions and the only possible training fior the crew is proper and patriotic education. “As a nation, we hdve not been seri- ous about this business of education,” Miss Neilson declared. “We complain about its cost yef if we were in earn- est about training this crew which will man our Ship and take charge of the wheel, we would compare the cost of raining with the cost of the untrain- ed and the cost of our folly.

NOW DESTITUTE Present Plight Brought About By Revolutions Engineered By Moscow Soviet Moscow, Jan.’ 21—Robbed, ragged, starving and forgotten in the big con- centration camp of Pokrowsky, a few miles distant from this city, is the fate of the Hevdiar, Khan of Khiva,. who, until affew months ago, was one of the richest of the Mohammedan rulers ‘ot Central Asia. As he is nearly 30 years old, he may die there. ¥ {Hevdiar, successor to Tamerlane ; the Great and Genghis Khan, who rul- er from China to Germany in the mid. dle ages,. is a pure-blooded Uzbek Turk to whom the Sultan of Turkey is a mere modern upstart. He has been brought to his present plight through | the revolutions engineered by tho Moscow Soviet in Russian Turkestan, | aide by Enver ‘Pasha, recently de- nounced by Mustapha Kemal Pasha as the arch-traitor of Turkey. The treatment of the Khan of | Khiva, not yet widely known-by peo- ple of the Mohammedan world, is ex- i pected in time to widen the rift that | has long threatened between the Rus- | sian Soviet and the Mohammedans of India and the old Turkish dominions. The Russians have long been hated for their conquest of Khiva, Bokhara, | and the rest of the territory, known for the past 60 years as Russian Tur- | kestan. : jj | For two centuries the Russians tried in vain. to conquer these war-like peo- ples and only in 1873 was Khiva hum- bled and its Khans made ‘subject But they retained their religious influence and their vast wealth and when they came to} the Russian imperial court at Petro- grad, their presents in gold and jewels | surpassed easily the treasures of that | gorgeous Court.

First, a Soviet | revolutionary committee was formed at Tashkent, after the approved Bol- | shevik manner, and later-at Bokhara, ! and finally at Khiva) These commit- tees in turn gave way to the forma- | tion of Soviet republics, as in Baku | and Tiflis, at the point of the Red | army's bayonet. i . The Emir of Bokhara was reduced to a figurehead, though still held as a possible religious successor to the Sul- | tan of Turkey. | Hevdiar was unseated in his rule by ; the new order but when: his advisers : showed him how the palace walls | were falling about him, he got’ togeth- ¢ er the choicest of his inherited jewels, | his favorite wives, a large stock of his | royal robes, together with 400 pounds | avoirdupqis, of solid gold, ordered a | train at Bokhara and started overland | to reach it, At the depot in Bokhara, | the Cheka, or secret police swooped | down upon him, robbed him of his | wives, his jewels and gold, and made | him prisoner, together with ‘his 20- year-old son and heir apparent. " Both were put aboard the train, un- | der heavy guard, and sent to Moscow, to the old convent prison of Pokrow- ky, where they have since been. i With heavy white beard, the Khan maintains his proud bearing and stili looks the part of a great ruler in exile. Silent and uncomplaining, at- ter the manner of his people, he some- times attends the concerts organized, for ‘the prisoners, ' In answer to his request to the So- viet Khiva Mission for food, he was sent exactly one pound of bread. At is the will of Allah,” said the Khan when the bread came. * His son has fared somewhat better. He does edd jobs such as scrubbing floors, for the more fortunate prisoners whose friends send them food, and in this way keeps soul and body together. COWHIDE HEEMET PRESENTED T0 STATE MUSEUM Pierre, §, D., Jan. 21.-—A :solid cow- hide helmet, surmounted by a waving black plume and a red cockade, worn by John Miller, a member of the crack regiment which took part in the re- ception to LaFayette in 1824, has been presented to the state museum here, by Mrs. A.

Solve Small House Question A group of Minneapolis architects | recently drifted into a discussion of the small house problem. All agreed the waste of material good taste was dgplorable. The small-home builder cannot af- ford to employ an architect. And the average architect. cannot ,afford to work for the small-home builder. Plans, specifications and estimates for a small house cannot command the price that those for a larger and more pretentious ong. does. Yet, it was pointed out the bmall home very often Tequires more time and study by the architect than a residence whose cost runs into six figures. It was: agreed that if the small house problem could be solved, it would be a great benefit to both the homebuilder and the architedts as well. A committee was named to hit upon a plan. The result pf the committee's re- search was 'the formation of the Archi- tects’ Small House Service Bureau.

Another set of home plans will ap- year in the Tribune tomorrow. and the’ best experts in their employ went to work to cut down every pos- sible expense for the .builder and give character and individuality to the plans for the homes. ' Each architect’ was instructed to {convince himself that he was in the employ of a “Sco line brakeman and his wife in a small Minnesota town” and to meet the. problems that con- fronted his fictitious employer. J Avold Waste | So the architects drew up more than 100 plans for the couple to select from. Realizing that Mr. and Mrs, Brakeman undoubtedly were not ‘supplied with a dollar more than they needed for | the building project, the experts de- | cided to use only ‘cotimion materials | but to use them uncominonly well.
