Better farmers and more efficient workers is the one demand which present conditions are making of the educational system. The demand stresses the idea of skill. Workers of all kinds are needed in our complex civilization, hut the man and woman with trained brain and skilled hand is its most important factor. As early as 1914 a congressional commission reported that it had found a condition of vocational unpreparedness for maintaining our agri3ultural, industrial and commercial prosperity. The war period not only demonstrated the truth of the congressional investigators but also proved how perilous was this condition, while the post

war period, with its many complexities and per

plexities, has abundantly reiterated the necessity for better trained men in all the important branches of our national household. The National Society for Vocational Education recently emphasized the necessity of expanding that form of education which enables the boy and girl to make a practical application of what !he or she has learned in school. A survey of the educational attainments of

THE

the people of the United States shows that the average scholastic attainment is about the sixth grade, and that hundreds of young men and women who leave the schools after progressing beyond the sixth grade are unfitted to take a definite place in commerce, finance, industry and agriculture. Vocational education, it has been pointed out. seeks to provide "that kind of education that will help in making better farmers, more efficient workers in the trades and industries, and more scientific management of the home." No longer can a man succeed if he is able to do a little of everything, or find the boast of being a jack of all trades a profitable one. Competition at home and abroad demands a higher degree of skill than has even been the case in the history of the United States. Only the genuinely prepared man and woman, who has been adequately trained in mind and hand, will be able to hold his own in the race for supremacy. And what holds true of the individual will also hold true of the nation. European countries that train their workers are the ones that will capture the foreign markets because of their labor efficienc' and their ability to succeed where others lag. Consequently it is becoming increasingly more important for nation and state to provide adequate vocational training for its citizens, and for the individual to train himself carefully for his chosen vocation. How important, then, for the youth not to idle away its time in frivolity but to plan for the future. George Matthew Adams recently said: "Be systematic the Thought, the Plan,' the Energy, the Success of your day is measured in value by your application of each of System."

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can." "Take It," "UpWINTER Those who have never known the Winter of snow and sleigh bells have missed a great deal. But there are other thoughts that are even nearer and dearer to me when Winter comes. I think of the sleeping roots and bulbs and blossoms, and the hiding sap. And how beautiful are the flakes of snow which fall so silently from the sky! Why is it that these flakes are so perfect, so beautifully formed? And why ere they always the same in proportion and arrangement? They are works of art in themselves more intricately made than any hand could fashion. Put the snowflake under the microscope and get a thrill! When I look at one of these tiny masterpieces, I compare their beauty with that of the rose and the lily and tell myself that I wouldn't know how to disbelieve in a great God if I wanted to. I love the cold snap of the Winter wind, and the songs which it sings. Winter, I sometimes think of you as a kind father, or some special friend. You take me apart and talk to me about so many interesting happenings. I look upon you as a teacher. You help to rest my eyes for the loveliness of Spring and Summer and tell me about the golden tints of Autumn. I like you, Winter! One never knows real whiteness until the lap of the Earth is filled with snow. Who ever painted a picture to compare with a cold frosty morning of Winter, bathed by the rays of the sun at early morning? Often I sit upon my bed before rising and look out of my window at the sparkling gown of Winter." How restful and soothing the picture is and how free! I wouldn't want to live where Winter never came. Any more than I would want to live if I knew that age wouldn't creep on gracefully. Winter, you spread soft shadows across my soul. You put poems into my heart. You sweeten my dreams and make my bones and muscles strong for the contest of life. Winter only stays around for a short time. Love it while you may.

Who's Who in the Day's News SEN. CHARLES ELROY TOWNSEND Friends of Senator Townsend in his home state of Michigan fear that by reason of his championship of the cause of Senator Newberry he has done irreparable damage -to his chances for renominatlon at the ReTmhliean nrimaries $2 ' J next summer. has been condemned by that large body of Republican - voters m Micnigan ?f s "who oppose the ex penditure vl uuge sums of money in elections. Townsend was first elected to con gress in 1903 and was re-elected every term until the C2nd congress. It was while serving as congressman from the second Michigan district that he was nominated at the primaries for senator and he was elected on Jan. 18, 1911. He has represented Michigan in the senate ever since. Senator Townsend was born in Concord, Mich., in 1856. He was educated at Jackson high school and the University of Michigan. In 1805 he was admitted to the bar and started his practice in Jackson. Later he was made register of deeds of Jackson county and in 18S8 was made delegate county, and in 18S8 was made delegate For four years previous to. his election to congress Townsend was a member of the Michigan state central committee. Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason JUSTICE IS SLOW Augustus Crawfish took a gun, and slew his neighbor, Jabez Spry; he doubtless did it just for fun I knowno other reason why. When man has nothing sane to do the time hangs . heavy on his hands, and so he kills a friend or two, and later in the dock he stands. And there Augustus took his place, and through long weary weeks was tried it was a celebrated case and experts rose and testified; and witnesses in drowsy herds blew into court to have their say, and learned attorneys, who were birds, talked hours and days and weeks away. At last the jury had a chance, and found SEF.K FRIENDS IN' IIOl R OF NEED "In the hour of need we quickly seek our best friends." writes Chas.

J him guilty of the crime Augustus, then, it Eeemed might dance on air at some appointed time. But lo, his learned attorneys saw a misplaced comma in some writ, declared it was a fatal flaw, and pawed the floor and threw a fit. The purist listened to their burst of eloquence, and took a pen, and wrote: "The judgment is reversed Augustus must be tried again." The second trial, of snail-like speed, became a chestnut and a bore, and then the jury disagreed, and Crawfish must be tried once more. Thi3 Jabez Spry has long been dead, long since he closed life's little page; his slayer yet will die in bed of ailments incident to age. Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years A&o Today L. A. Handley, superintendent of carriers and head of the civil service examination department of Richmond, received notice that in the future Richmond would bo an examination point for applicants to the railway mail service, and received at he same time notice of the first examination to be held in thi3 city, May 10. More than 200 Richmond business men enthusiastically pledged their support in a titanic seven-day effort to raise a fund of $50,000 for the Y. M. C. A., at a meeting held in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Sharon E. Jones, president of the Indiana state Y. M. C. A., explained the past record of the association in this city. After Dinner Stories The average movie hero is in pretty bad shape along in the middle of the third reel, and it takes two more reels to get him out. That's why so many photoplays would be more satisfactory if the last two reels wefe dispensed with. And that's why many discerning movie goers are seen walking out at the end of the third reel. They have seen the hero land just where ITCHING ECZEMA DRIED RIGHT UP WITHSULPHUR Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying a little Men-tho-Sulphur, says a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying properties, this sulphur preparation instantly brings ease from skin irritation, soothes and heals the eczema right up and leaves the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve the torment and disfigurement Sufferers from skin trouble should get a little jar of Mentho-Sulphur from any good druggist and use it like a cold cream. Advertisement.

AUTO DEALERS TOLD ADMINISTRATION FAVORS REASONABLE ENFORCEMENT OF MOTOR LAWS

"Reasonable enforcement" of motor laws, . and a simpler code of traffic rules were the chief points brought out by Mayor Lawrence Handley in his address before members of the Wayne county Automobile Dealers' ao sociation, at the Arlington hotel Monday evening. With Mayor Handley as the guests of the club, were Chief of Police Eversman nnd T. J. Taylor, of the secretary of state's office at Indianapolis. Mayjr Handley, in his address said: "it speaks well for the community when you find competitors in business gettins together for a good time as you fellows are. It means that when you go out lo sell cars, you will not knock the other man's product, you will boost your own. 'Let us instill into our minds and th3 minds of the public the fact that good business is coming, is almost here I have told the members of this ad ministration that I did not want to look back at all, except to profit by mistakes of the past. The watchword of this administration must be cour tesy and service. Need Co-operation. "A number of problems are coming up before this administration which call for the co-operation of the city officials and this organization. Traf fic, lighting and parking regulations should all come within your province as you men are experienced in these things, and can offer valuable advice. "The fewer laws we have the better they are enforced. I do not believe in parking penalties. We ha had no trouble with our present parking rule, and it was merely laid down by the police department, then the fire department painted lines on the street so the motorist knew what was expected of him. It is a matter of education. Urges Simple Rules A letter from Walker E. Land, president of the board of works, in which he advocated a new traffic ruling of the simplest possible form, was then read by 'the mayor. In the letter Mr. Land said that the rules he advised were the result of six months driving in Richmond, followed by a tour through seven slates. He advised a rule which would give the motorists on the right-hand side the right of way, this rule to prevail at all street crossings. Advantages of the rule as set forth in the letter were chiefly that it would relieve the motorist of the necessity of watching both sides when approaching an inter section and would thus result in greater safety, at the same time avoiding confusion as to which car has tue risht of way. He advised against prohibiting the left-hand turn at Eighth and Main streets. After reading the letter, the mayor Kid's colds mean wakeful nights CHILDREN romp around and play, and beccme overheated. Cold often results. Have Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey on hand nd sive them some asdirected.

Glorious Feeling!

OH - h - it a And devoted a moment to praise of the work done by the board of works. "I think I have the best board of works that Richmond has over seen," he said. "Walker Land, Frank McPhail and Bert Henley have been working almost night and day since this administmtion took office to get things well under way. "Vou will find the new administration with you to the last ditch in anything you can do to make visitors feel welcome here and to boost this town," said Mayor Handley in conclusion. Eversman Speaks Will Eversman, made a short and snappy talk. "The police department does not want to enforce automobile laws radically," he said. "I would suggest that your organization appoint a committee to confer with the administration on matters of mutual interest. We start enforcing the new license law, the certificate of title act and the dimmer regulations Feb. 1." A report was given by L. B. Camp bell, manager of the National Finance company on work done, by his association for motorists. New license tags issued this year have totaled 4,500, he said, out of 6,500 cars in the coun ty. Aa total of $30,000 has been sent in to the state treasury in fees by his omce. Explains Restrictions T. J.

Ta. "Ja'A TYA the use of dimmers. The state law aims to drive out the glaring headlight by educating the motorist through local service stations, he said. At present a plan is being tried out by the state whereby certain service stations are authorized to pass on the condition of headlights. The law requires that healights must pass a certain test. The car to be tested is backed Z feet away from a white screen on which the headlights are thrown. The light rays must not go above a lin' drawn across this screen which i level with the center of the headlights. This insures that all light rays be thrown down on the road and avoids any possibility of the glare being thrown in the face of the approaching motorist. Spotlights are restricted to the riglK hand side of the road. They must not be thrown to the left where th? will confuse other motorists.
