state's educational system. Ten points are considered in compiling the government figures, five of which pertain to school attendance and five to finances. Some of them are: Name Points Considered. Percent of school population attending school'daily; average days attended by each child of school age; average number of days schools are kept open; average annual expenditure per child attending, per child of school age, and per teacher employed; expenditure per teacher for salaries and per pupil for purposes other than teachers' salaries. "Going back to 1890 we find Indiana ranking 25th," Prof. Curry says. "In 10 years we had gone to 16th place. In 1910 it had been given 17th place, which it retained through 1918. It is encouraging to know that at least Indiana has not slipped back any dur

ing the last 20 years. However, it might have gone upward instead of remaining at the same place."

SURVEY COMMISSION SEEKS REASON FOR STATE SCHOOL RATING

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept, 29. Why does Indiana's school system rank seventeenth among the states of the Union? That is the question to which the Indiana Education Survey commission is to try and find an answer. Schools of the state are to be subjected to close scrutiny during the investigation. Formal work of the commission will begin in Indianapolis under the supervision of Prof. Charles M. Curry, who has been granted a year's leave from the Indiana State Normal school. In order to carry on the survey. Governor McCray has expressed a deep interest in the work and has called a meeting of the commission in his office, in order that plans of procedure may be developed. Will Report Findings It is the purpose of the commission, as expressed in the law enacted by the last legislature, which also created the commission, to investigate the entire educational system of the state and report its findings and recommendations to the governor not later than April 1. 1922. This report, the law specifies, shall be transmitted by the Kovernor. together with such recommendations as he may see fit to make, to the regular session of the general assembly of 1923. Prof. Curry states that the government statistics, by which Indiana is listed 17th, do not reflect upon the

OHIO CRISS-CROSSED BY MOTOR BUS LINES DOING BIG BUSINESS (By Associated Press) COLUMBUS, O., Oct, 29. The two strips of steel the interurban railroads that have connected Ohio towns for year, are being paralleled by a formidable competitor, the track3 left by the glide of pneumatic tires. Ohio is being criss-crossed by motor busses. Lines, operating between the towns, are being started in nearly every section of the state. There is a rush to get into the business. Records at the state public utilities commission tell the story. The legislature last winter passed a law placing motor busses under the same laws and regulations as public utilities and classifying them as common carriers. They are required to register with the commission. So far, records show, SO lines have

been registered, and the applications' of 20 more have been returned for technical "corrections. It is estimated at the commission that this number is not more than half of the actual number of bus lines operating in the state. The others, it is said, eventually will file their tariffs, routes and schedules. Lower Fares Most of the bus lines, the tariffs show, charge just enough under the interurban fare for the same distance to attract passengers. Many letters from interurban lines, seeking to know if such and such a bus line has complied with provisions of the law, are being received by the commission. Observers say there is one big reason why bus lines are developing so rapidly in Ohio "there is good money in it." Earnings of some of the bus lines are enormous, compared with the amount of money invested, it is asserted. One line, operating out of Columbus, runs two busses to a neighboring town. Each bus makes nine round trips a day, and, according to the operator, carries ten average through fares on each single trip. The fare is $1 a round trip. The operator asserts he will "clean up" $25,000 a year. He plans to heat his busses and run them throughout the winter. Rig Up Automobiles Individuals and corporations have gone into the bus business. One man has rigged up his own automobile and operates between several towns in the central part of the state, a tariff file shows. Between Youngstown and East Youngstown, a distance of some three and a half miles, 20 separate bus lines filed schedules at the utilities commission. Recently the Youngstown Municipal railway, which connects the towns, announced it would sell a weekly street car ticket for $1.25, which will entitle anyone who presents it to as many rides as he wants during the time the ticket Is valid. The commission's records show that northern Ohio has most bus lines, the majority of them being north of the Ft Wayne railroad line. But lines also are numerous around Bellaire, running to Wheeling and other West Virginia towns. Many look for interurbans to start a rate war soon in an effort to get back the business the busses are said to be taking away from them.

WITH 100,000 RENT CASES ON DOCKETS MOVING FROWNED ON

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Sept 29 With nearly 100.000 tenants and landlord cases already on the docket awaiting trail, justice of the municipal court are looking foward to New York's annual moving day on Oct 4, with anything but good cheer. Indications are that countless thousands of apartment dwellers, instead of taking their annual house-to-house jaunt, will take a little trip to municipal court. Junius P. Wilson, counsel to the mayor's committee on rent profiteering, said today that thousands of tenants, torn between the possibility of renewing leases for the present abodes at increased rentals and taking new apartments at exorbitant figures,

That worker, and the unemployment situation, are going to be the major topics of discussion. Labor leaders of the state are frank in saying they believe the coming winter is going to be an extraordinarily hard one, industrially. The question delegates to the coming convention are going to try and solve is Just what can organized labor of Ohio do now to lighten the expected burdens. Financial assistance may be the only means, some believe. Plans for money aid will be laid before the delegates, it is said. Will Seek Unity. A firmer liason between the two great groups of labor in the state The Ohio State Federation of Labor, and the brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, railway trainmen, and like workers will be sought at the convention. The latter workers are not affiliated with the Ohio State Federation. The convention also will. discuss: Minimum wage for women and children legislation, workmen's compensation legislation, as it pertains to injuries in industries, which are caused by accidents or occupational diseases; old age pension legislation, and enforcement of constitutional and statu

their rest and lunch periods to a minimum, it probably will take the court3 nearly a year to get around to hearing any of the new cases, Mr. Wilson estimated. In the meantime the tenants will be enabled to keep their present homes in defiance of the landlords' efforts to oust them. The new state rent

laws prohibit ejections without court'

proceedure. Of the 150,000 cases on the municipal docket now, approximately 50,000 are in the borough of Eronx. There are about 27,000 in Manhattan, and the bulk of the remainder in Brooklyn.

(iwmnldni play

thistfidc owyou. by Mrs. Mary Preston Cooking Expert and Food Analyst Honestly, every time I hear of some woman's being fooled by that outrageous egg trick, it makes me so disgusted that I want to go from house to house and expose it. I believe in honest competition. But when any company tries to prove its baking powder superior not only to Heekin's, but to every good baking powder on the market by false and misleading tests, I think every woman should know about it. This is the trick that is being played on women all over the country: A baking powder that contains dried egg powder is demonstrated to you. A teaspoonful is put in a glass and water is poured over it. Like any baking powder, it fizzes. But the dried egg makes a heavy foam that stays on . top of the glass for several minutes. Then the same test is made with any other baking powder that does not contain dried egg. It also fizzes, but there is no foam. The gas passes off into the air just the same as it passes through your dough and makes it rise. But, because of the foam, you are led to believe that the first baking powder is the stronger. Yet, a speck of dried egg in the very cheapest and weakest baking powder made will make it foam the same way. The only reason for dried egg in any baking powder is to create a false impression of quality and strength by tricky demonstrations. I am glad to say that there will never be any foreign ingredients added to Heekin's. A better baking powder cannot be made. It will always sell on its quality alone. There is only one real test for any baking powder that is your baking. You will always be successful with Heekin's. The Heekin Company feels so sure of this that they make this guarantee: If anything you bake using Heekin's does not turn out Jo your entire satisfaction, the price of the baking powder and the price of the ingredients will be returned to you. Simply list the prices and send, together with your name and address, to The Heekin Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. I know you'll like Heekin's.
