THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., MONDAY, SEPT. 5, 1921. SCHOOL ENROLLMENT IN OHIO IS EXPECTED TO TOP ALL RECORDS FRANCE GETS LAST ZEPPELIN MADE BY GERMAN MACHINE NEW BROADWAY PLAY GIVES INGENUE HER CHANCE TO DO SERIOUS ACTING WHERE NEW CONFLICT RAGES IN EUROPE Sl.OVAK.Vfl

(By Associated Prem) COLUMBUS, 0-. Sept 5. With most of Ohio schools opening Tuesday, and the remainder a week from Tuesday, officials of the state department of education are ready to help local - school heads handle a recordbreaking enrollment. "While figures are not available, it is pointed out the natural increase will make this year's enrollment top all icords. There will be no bogey of a teacher shortage the term of 1921-22, it is announced. There is a plentiful list to draw from. Interest mainly in the schools opening this year is centered in a number of changes in school laws brought about by the last general assembly, as well as the passage of a few new laws. ' Chief among the new and changed laws is the Bing compulsory education law, the Kumler-Gorrell bill, providing county boards of education shall be elected by a vote of the people, the Kirk bill, which strikes against contract-jumping teachers, the Taft bill providing temporary financial relief for taxing districts, the Griswold bill, providing that , the net indebtedness of any school district s-hall never exceed six percent of the tax duplicate of the district, and the Bloom bill regulating the transportation of pupils. Bing Law Provisions Of all the measures, the Bing Jaw perhaps is attracting most attention. It defines the compulsory school age ns six to 18 years, but authorizes boards of education to modify the required entrance age to seven, under certain conditions. Children 16 years of age may bo granted an ago and school certificate, permitting employment, provided they have passed the seventh grade test and have submitced a physician's certificate showing physical fitness. The law provides, among other things, that boards of education may establish part time schools and classes for the further education of children between 16 and IS, who are employed County boards of education, under the law, arei required to employ attendance officers. Any school district, not a part of the country system, must also employ an attendance officer. With the consent and approval of the Juvenile judge in the county, a probation officer of the court may be designated as an attendance officer. School enumeration is to .include youth from five to 18 years of age, the Bing law provides, and was taken this year on that basis. This resulted in the enumeration being completed somewhat later than usual.

The Kumler-Gorrell law provides! that three county board members are to be elected this year, and two in 1923. Each will serve four years.

ANDERSON REFUTES CLAIMS OF DECLINE . IN MODERN MINISTRY (By Associated Press) WINONA LAKE, Ind., Sept 5. Claims of . decadence of the ministry were denied by the Rev. L. D. Anderson, pastor of First Christian church. Fort Worth, Texas, in addressing the

delegates to the international convention of Disciples of Christ, at the Sunday morning service. The pulpit, which he safd was once the chief source of instruction and inspiration, now shares with other agencies, notably the schools, press and platform, the work of information and simulation, according to the Rev. Mr. Anderson. However, these agencies are to be regarded as allies, not enemies, he said. "After making due allowance for the changes in custom and condition the fact remains, despite criticism, caricature and contempt, despite jealousies and jests and jeers, that the Christian minister of today and his ministries compare very favorably with those of any age now past," the speaker said. Membership Inactive "Present conditions do not even approximate the Ideal," said the Rev. Mr. Anderson during his address. "Less than half of the membership is even nominally active. If all were carefully trained and wisely directed vastly more could be accomplished. "There are not nearly enough ministers to go around. All indications point to a greater shortage. At present the field is under-manned and the force is overworked." The speaker advised multiplication of the number of workers within congregations, to make possible the recruiting, shepherding and mobilizing of an ever increasing membership. With special technical training, he said, each along lines of individual taste and talent, "a corps of workers can be marshalled who will give them1 selves, generally if not exclusively, to TOWNS ARE REBUILT BY PRINCETON UNIT (By Associated Press) SOISSONS.

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Sept 5. The last and also the latest of the German Zeppelins, the "Nordstern," formerly the LZ-121, has been turned over to the French government for commercial purposes, reporting to the National Advisory committee for Aeronautics here. J.. J. Ide, technical assistant in Europe, states that this great airship, which is under the control of the Service de Navigation Aerienne, and not the French navy as are the other French airships, will be employed in the Marseilles-Algiers service. According to the treaty, Germany was ordered to turn over her two lat

est commercial Zeppelins, the "Bodensee" and the "Nordstern to Italy and France respectively, as well as to sur render her military aircraft, and now this has been done. Never Out of Hangar. Unlike her sister ship the "Eodensee," which was flown many times since the armistice, the "Nordstern" had never been permitted to leave her hangar at Friedrichsafen until her re cent trip of 350 miles to St. cyr, wnicn required nine hours. After a long wait, lacking in progress messages. Mr. Ide writes, that the "Nordstern" came over, flying field at an altitude of 500 feet, hut as she slackened speed, she rose to about 1,500 feet, and was forced to describe a large circle before she could descend due to a puffy wind. Finally after a struggle, which carried some of the ground crew 15 feet aloft, she was moored, and Captains Leroy and Paquignon and Adjutant Maisonneuve of the French army, who had flown as observers, alighted. The Nordstern was then turned and "walk ed" 'into the shed, which maneuver was well carried out although the shed was little wider and higher than the ship, Mr. Ide states. As soon as the great airship was housed, the German crew disembarked and the French under secretary of state for air, Mr. Laurent Eynac and his party went aboard for a tour of inspection. Holds 45 Persons. The "Nordstern" is a gigantic air liner measuring 425 feet in length and 61 feet in diameter. Her useful load is 25.300 pounds, nearly one-half her total load, and she carries 45 passengers and crew. She is propelled at a speed of about 50 miles per hour by four Baybach engines; two operating a single propeller in the rear car, and one in each wing car. The passenger cabin, which is slung well forward and admidships, Mr. Ide reports, is composed of five bays each containing six arm chairs facing forward and aft Over each seat there is a luggage rack and light movable tables can be placed between separate seats. Forward of the cabin is the radio room, and in the nose, the navagating room. WASHINGTON HOPEFUL OF ARMY WITHDRAWAL (By Associate Press) WASHINGTON, STt 5 War department officials were hopeful today that conditions in the- West Virginia mine fields would permit immediate withdrawal of part of the federal force there.

RETURN TO NORMAL 1 BUSINESS AWAITED BY CARGO CARRIERS NEW YORK, Sept. 5 Scores of fine' ships equipped for any kind of cargo are swinging impatiently at anchor, like hunting dogs on leash in every port of the world awaiting a return of normal conditions in maritime business. Excessive war time construction of cargo carriers followed by a gradually increasing depression in world's shipping business, has created a new problem for port officers and steamship owners. A few years ago keen com: petition was required to secure a loading or discharging berth. Today, the competition is to secure a safe and convenient place where ships may be laid up at the least possible overhead expense where they can be ready for instant response to steam and propeller when commerce again calls. Has Job Locating Ships In New York and vicinity, the task of finding safe anchorage falls to Captain Byron L. Reed, of the U. S. Coast Guard service, designated by the gov ernment as port captain. Yonkers has been called upon to serve as resting place for idle ships. In Jamaica Bay, a large semi-inland body of water at the southerly end of Long Island many more ships have been accommodated. Up Long Island ound as far as the Connecticut line. every available bay having sufficient depth of water has been called upon. It is not only American ships which are laid up in United States harbors, Captain Reed said, but many foreign craft are held here in idleness await ing a resumption of business that will afford paying cargos. Among recent applications for anchorage were requests for two Japanese ships. It costs money to run ships, but ship owners claim they face greater proportionate loss with ships idle. ARTESIAN WELL, DRY, GIVES NEWARK HOME SUPPLY OF GOLD AIR NEWARK, N. J., Sept. 5 An artesian well which years ago ceased to produce water and now sends forth a strong blast of cold, dry air, is the Droperty of Mrs. Jacob Lowenstein, who uses it to cool the refrigerator, to dry the washing and to keep the house cool in hot weather. At one time, Mrs. Lewenstem said, the air blast was so strong that its roar could be heard a block away. Neighbors complained and an attempt was made to close the well by filling it with sand and gravel but the current was so strong that the stones were blown out of the shaft. Useful in Hot Weather. Mrs. Lowenstein then had the well capped and arranged a system of faucets by which she floods her house with the cold air as she desires. It has replaced ice in her refrigerator and dries the washing in less than an hour. During the hot months her home is popular with the neighbors whose electric fans are ineffective ia comparison to Mrs. Lowenstein's cold air blast. In rainy weather a blast of the dry air drives out the dampness in a short time. The well was driven thirty-seven years ago and since it went dry has poured forth the air current continuously and without variation in force. George Sanzenbacker. engineer of the Newark Water Department, has examined the well and is unable to give any explanation for the phenomenon. It is 79 feet deep and for the first ten years produced excellent water.

HOOVER ANNOUNCES COMMERCE BUREAU

NEARLY REORGANIZED (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 Reorganization of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce into industrial divisions with trained specialists at their heads to aid the country's overseas commerce is rapidly nearing completion, according to Secretary Hoover. The industrial divisions were created, Mr. Hoover, explained today, to give expert direction to the bureau's staff of six hundred foreign agents as to the services which will be most helpful to the various branches of industry. Thirteen divisions have already been established: fuel, under H. C. Morris, of Washington, D. C; leather, under Arthur Butman, of Boston; transportation, under E. S. Gregg, of Galveston; textiles, under Edward T. Pickard, of New York; industrial machinery, under Walter H. RasUll, of Dayton; agricultural implements, under George B. Bell, of Jamaica, N. Y.; foodstuffs, under E. C. Montgomery, of Ithaca, N. Y.; electrical machinery under R. A. Lundquist, of Minneapolis; rubber, under P. L. Palmerton, of New York; iron and steel, under W. S. Tower, of New York; commercial law? under Archibald Wolfe, of New York; lumber, under Axel Oxholm, of San Francisco, and the automotive division under Gordon Lee, of Rochester, N. Y. Other divisions are to be added,, including chemicals and specialties. Experts Chosen "The men in charge of these divisions," Mr. Hoover said, "have been chosen from the industries themselves and in most instances have been selected in co-operation with their trade associations so that they may bring to the department not only specialized knowledge and sympathetic understanding of the problems of these particular industrial groups, but in turn may interpret to the foreign staff the needs of these industries and develop the material received in such form as may be of the greatest use in the industry to which it is related." The bureau's geographical divisions also have been reorganized into five groups, consisting of eastern Europe, under E. Dana Durand of Romeo, Mich.; western Europe under Allen G. Goldsmith of Milwaukee; Latin America under Thomas R. Taylor of Edmonton, N. J.; near east under James A. Robertson, and far east under Frank R. Eldridge of Tacoma Park, Maryland.

INDIANA WILL TAKE PROMINENT PART IN 'JOBLESS' CONFERENCE PALLADIUM SFWJ BT'flEAU WASHINGTON, Sept 5. Indiana business interests and labor organizations are manifesting considerable Interest in the unemployment conference which President Harding has called to meet in Washington. It is expected that the Indiana representation at the conference will be a large one. Indiana is one of .the important industrial states, end the reports coming from that state indicate that the unemployment situation there has reached an acute stage. The announcement made by the federal reserve board that no factors warrant predictions of a widespread business revival this autumn, linked with the assertion that unemployment may remain serious for a considerable period, has tended to make more complex the problem which President Harding hopes to solve. Labor is Suspicious

The attitude labor is assuming to ward the unemployment conference is not particularly encouraging. The conservative element indicates that the administration may expect its cordial co-operation. The radical labor group is antagonistic. It has expressed suspicion of the purpose of the conference. It has been reported that Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, is to participate in the conference. He reached this decision, it is said, when it was intimated that neither Judge E. H. Gary, head of the United States Steel Cor poration, nor James Emery, of the National Manufacturers' association, would be in attendance. Labor officials have neither denied nor confirmed reports that thev had demanded that both Gary and Emery be excluded from the conference. "Labor," a publication which reflects the views of the radical labor group, in its current issue, flatly charges that the conference is to be used to "influence the senate" to pass the bill which was recently passed by the house to pay the railroads $500,000,000. Government Lays Foundation. The administration is moving rapidly to lay the ground work for the unemployment conference. Already the government has undertaken a thorough survey of all the important cities to determine accurately the extent of unemployment. . The government has become accustomed to opposition from radical labor in the formulation of any important industrial policy and it is confident that it will have the complete support of conservative labor, as well as the support of the business interests of the country, in its present effort to prevent widespread misery throughout the nation this coming winter. There were some encouraging signs noted by the reserve board in its latest review of the national economic situation, but they were largely seasonal in character, incident to earlier crop marketing and movements. Harvest Labor Menace. The administration realizes "that with the close of the harvests hundreds of thousands of people engaged in harvesting will join the ranks of the unemployed, which alrea include over five million people. Early revival of business had been the main hope of administration leaders to avert just such a situation. The president is said to realize that the problem of the jobless may become the most serious issue the government will have to contend with, and that this issue will be fuly developed within the next 90 days unless prompt measures are found to relieve the situation. He is confident, it is said, that the unemployment conference will find a satisfactory solution of the problem. ILLINOIS STRIKERS : MAY MARCH OVERLAND (By Associated Press) HARRISBURG, 111., Sept. 5.
