DRAY AND TRANSFER LINE , Ei NF ES aT caapeuite. iis Ce ee Le ee re eee Added 50% To Tire Mileage ‘A Boston tire dealer, for three years, has gath- red data on Miller Tires. And he reports as follows: Users find their tire mileage increased from 50 per cent to 75 per cent. Blow-outs have been eliminated. Uniform mileage has been accomplished. /Only six tires in 1,000 come back for adjust- sment — only five Miller Cords in a year. A Louisville dealer compared wear and mileage lon 116 styles of tires Which he repaired. The con- stant Miller supremacy has caused him now to handle the Miller Tires only. A California stage line made million-mile com- (parisons with 21 leading makes. And the Miller won by long odds. You owe yourself a comparison on your own car. The Miller is the tire of the day.

Thou- sands of children were saved from going untaught by being crowded into classes that were already too large to be taught efficiently Thus, in addition to the decrease in what may be called the quantity of the in-| struction given, there should be taken into account the deteriora- tion in the quality that has re-| sulted from overburdening the teachers as a means of making up for the deficiency in their numbers. Even before there was any serious shortage in the supply of teachers, the number employed was not great as Was necessary to g proper at- tention to the differing needs | and conditions of the student | body. It was well recognized among educators that one of the great defects of the common school system, even in those days, was in the excessive size of the average school class, ex cessive by the test of the aver- age throughout the country whole. It is not necessary to set forth the reasons which make the > of the class a factor in determ ing the usefulness of the instruc- ; tion given. It is obvious to every one that there is a limit to | the number of pupils to which a teacher can give individual at- tention in the degree that most children need it, if they are to make reasonable progress and be set on the right way. 1e time | given to each must diminish as | | the size of the class increases, | and classes already too large, for the most part, have almost in-| } variably been enlarged until} their members are spectators | rather than participants in other} | proceedings of the schoolroom, The energies of the teacher are | spread out over an area that pre- | cludes their penetrating beneath |the surface at any point, and| | when this is the case the teach-| |er goes through the form, more| | than the service, of educating. | The requirement of the public! | school system is not simply to }employ as many teachers as| | there were half a dozen years| |ago, nor even to increase the | number correspondingly to the increase in the enrollment. _ It! is important also to decrease the | Size of the average class, which ;means of course, that there | should be a per capita as well as | an absolute increase in the num- ber of teachers.—Lewiston Tri- bune. a UTILIZING WASTE. The time is not so far in the) past but that many can rememb- er when the sunflower was con-| sidered a nuisance. But now its utility has been demonstrat-| ed. It not only provides excel-| lent feed for chickens but is ranked high as a fodder for cat-| tle. In fact experiments have shown that it possesses food value of greater merit than those of many other kinds of food that have been more highly consider- ed. | In this connection it might be noted that it is a fine example of the useful application of some- thing that was once considered a nuisance and a waste. Now it has a commercial value and is of | benefit to livestock and that! means to mankind. As civiliza- tion progresses it learns more! | and more to make use of the| | things near at hand that were| }once neglected either through | ignorance or indifference. The! | sunflower as a stock food is a } gue example of what can be} me.

REDS IN ‘DIAMOND PLOT Stones Believed Famous Jewels of Royaity Found on Sailor. Washington.—Traffic by bolshevist agents in precious stones supposed to be part of the famous jewels of the Russian royal family has been un- earthed by federal authorties. One hundred and thirty-one diamonds found on Neils Jacobsen, a Swedish sailor, by customs officials in New York, it nown were enclosed in a uckage addressed to “Comrade Martens.” Federal officials began an investigation which they declare has definitely connected Ludwig Martens, | self-styled soviet ambassador to the United States, with the traffic. Enclosed about the diamonds taken from Jacobsen, whom officials exon- erated from complicity in the illegal proceedings, was a quantity of com- munist literature, including an “ap- peal of the executive committee of the third international at Moscow to the 1 a.
