POOR CROSS-ROADS SCHOOL. To boRin at the very foundation, the -ross-roads one-rooin school there are well nljrh IO.ikjO of them In this Empire state alone Is at once the most expensive and most Inelliclent system of public education ever devised; yet because of fundamental condition., of scanty and scattered population, and taxable wealth pltifuTS limited ns compared with the great centers of population, it has not been easy. In spite of much earnest effort, to improve it much; it has certainly been iinisslble to put it on a par with the educational opportunity afforded every city child, writes Jared Vau WaKener, Jr., in Atlantic .Monthly. We have always been proud to think how but of all proportion to his numbers. In the great activities of our country commercial and educational the farm-bred boy sits In the scats of the mighty. It Is at the Fame time a splendid tribute to the value of the Spartan training of the farm, that he has achieved these honors' In spite of, and not because of, his school advantages. In Japan the price of rice has fallen through the inlluence of good crops and large Imports, and the farmers claim that with the high price of labor they can no longer grow it at a profit, says the Hong Kong Times. Tills Statement must be taken for what it is worth. One thing Is certain the farmers are no longer able to reap the profits which they made ' during and after the war, and they feel a natural disinclination to return to their former narrow margins. A ring was formed by the agricultural I societies for the maintenance of prices by refusal to sell under a fixed price, but It Is doubtful if such an agreement can be adhered to. Practically, It means starving the population into submission. If the seamen, the printers, thminers, (he plumbers the wbo'i bunch of good workmen will tal.i our udvlce. they will arbitrate,? negotiate, conversate, meditate, mediate, cogitate, urxuiiH'iitate and expostulate In setting forth their desires, but will be careful not to vacate their Jobs, says the Houston Post. It Is a mistake to assume that they are infallible, or that their demands are necessarily just, and it is the last word in folly to Invoke the loss and waste of idleness by striking. The soviet has made a momentous discovery. M. Milutlne, addressing the fourth all-liusshm economic conference, informed it that the utter lack of fHdstutTs, raw material and fuel Is due to absence of production. "Some time the Russians will make the further discovery that the operation of Lenin's theories make production Impossible. According to an eminent authority, the best descriptions of -children and child life have been written by bachelors. Of course and for the same reason that the best critics are not themsejves creative artists. Many business men who have been reading Thomas A. Kdi son's strictures uiott the Ignorance of college men breathe sigiis of relief when they rellect that Edison's questionnaire was not submitted to them. It Is safe to say that the former tenant of a city flat who Is now occupyliv a comfortable suburban home shrvls no tears, when he learns that his former landlord U holding a numfW of vacant apartments. U.'iiguay's prison system Is being touted as the best in the world. Judgment must be reserved until one finds out whether the recommendation comes from the prisoners or the others. Here's a man who handled 1H,IM pounds of concrete single handed in one day, and whose lunch consisted of milk. Wonder what he could do If U' ate a little meat? If he can properly be harnessed, the sun will be one chef who will not Strike for higher, wages ; but on the other hand nothing can keep him from going out nights. Americans are eating eluht per cent less meat than they did - ears ago. Well, you can't reasonably expect your teeth to be as gwd as they were 10

Architect Plays Joke When He Builds St. Thomas', Now York.

Other "Sicns of the Times" Are Discovered Sculptured in Wood in the Edifice. New York. -.St. Thomas' Episcopal church in Fifth avenue looms as a possible rival of the Metropolitan Art museum in public interest follow ing cumulative disclosures that showed the $Uk)i00 gothlc structure to be a veritable treasure trove of unique sculjture and wood carviir,'. ' The first "discovery" mado by a newspaper recently revealed a huge, Ironic dollar mark carved In the ornamentation above the "bride's entrance.' Then followed the discovery of a whole row of "avenue types' little heads about the size of a fist sculptured above the main entrance. These Included a monocled dandy, a man with a dissolute nose and a woman heralded as "the divorcee." The architects flave permitted to become public a chart listing some of the wood carvings that decorate- the interior of the church. One of the carvings, entitled 'Prohibition," depicts Bacchus tumbled from a keg by a woman with a spear. Fallen from his outstretched hand is a bunch of grapes, while behind the woman's figure is a single lemon, emblematic of the "soft" drink. The wood carvings also Include a group In which heads of Woodrow Wilson, King George cf Great Britain, King Albert of Belgium, Clemenceau, Lloyd George, General Pershing, Marshal Foch, Admiral Ileatty, Herbert Hoover, Ma J. Gen. Peyton C. March and many other figures appear. A Salvation Army lassie Is shown handing out doughnuts to doughboys and pollus, and other figures Include "a gob" and "an aviator." F. L. Mayers, partner of Bertram Goodhue, architect of the church, ex plained that the wood carvings, most j of which have Uen put in place recently, hud the full approval of Kev. Dr. Kniest M. Stires, rector of St. Thomas'. The work was done, he said. In accordance with the tradition of architecture that modern iigres In history. problems of the day and symbols" of the ago should receive recognition In a marred edifice. , Tlie lo,Iar Innrk nbnve tho "bride's " T ' nie iiiuiii eiurunc, now it, weie nit? architect's little jests, worked In on his own initiative when the church was built ten years ago.

WEAR KATS THAT FIT FACE Young Girls Are Supposed to Favor Millinery Which Has Expression of Youth. There is none so powerful In the mastery of fashion who can lay down the Inw about hats for a class. The young girl Is supposed to wear the kind which expresses youth and avoid the type worn by the older women. This tradition is gone by the board. It keeps company with Davy Jones' Locker and a million traditions of the depths. The debutante of this gay and prosperous season wears on her head that which looks well over her face. The rule Is an excellent one to follow through life. It aids the old and the young, the pretty and the plain. The stiff sailor shape, Gibsonian in Its severity. Is about the only kind that Is not popular. All the hats that have cluttered fashion since the idea began of wearing formal coverings on the head have reappeared this season. They present a bewildering array. It Is true, but rot an unpleasant one. It is distinctly comfortable to find a wide limit to one's choice. The tatn is the most girlish shape, and It persists In fashion. It has ceased to hang over the back of the collar in the Latin Quarter way. It has plenty of fullness, which is dis posed to give breadth across the head. For ornament there is a broad spread Egyptian design in some composition In an Egyptian blue. This blue Is admirable for debutantes. The high-crowned hat that Is usually diflicult for the adult to wear goes well with the brilliant and unlined youthful face. It has a slight brim and a mass of flues swirling out from the side. The young wear it In black velvet without a touch of color. The Persian turban brought Into strong relief this winter by the success of "Mecca" and "A f gar," the latter costumed by Paul Poiret. is the delight of the girl who has a dash of theadventuresome in her vcarriage. It should not be worn by the timid type. It is built In Oriental blue velvet and covered with a latticework of small pearls and white crystals. USE FOR THE WORN BLOUSE j. Discarded Garment Can De Made Into An Attractive Cover for the Cushion. A discarded embroidered kimono Mouse will make a lovely cushion cover. Use the front for the top of the cushion, of course. If too nar-, row. piece out with strips of headed embroidery. The back of the cushion should be covered with the back of the blouse. reinforced with enough from the sleeves, joined with narrow beaded embroidery. A blouse of 30-in eh bust will make a cover IS laches square. White embroidered blouses will make dainty summer cushions, the smaller sizes lieins used for baby cushion?. The bloises embroidered In ?rij:!it wools will make handsome covers as well as those embroidered in silks. If the material is thin like crepe, first line the cushion to sive it body.
