IS WORLD
LEADER III LITERACY SAYS LEGION OFFICER
. (By Associated Press) ' INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Nov. 23 Germany leads the world in literacy, according toa statement today by Garland W. Powell, national director of .the Americanism commission of the American Legion, based upon estimates of the 1920 census. The United Rtates is eleventh on the literacy list f leading nations, Mr. Powell said. Countries which have fewer illiterates than America, according to Mr. Powell, are Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Holland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, . Scotland, England, Wales .and France. "The 1920 census showtag that more than five million per
sons, or six percent, of the American population, are illiterate, is too low.
because a confession of illiteracy to
a census taker was necessary to enroll
the person among those who can neith
er read nor write, Mr. Foweu declar
ed. "This made it easy for the illiterate to conceal his ignorance, since
there was no test of literacy."
A gain in illiteracy of 117.344 in
twelve states during the period 19101920, was, for the most part, due to
those states having received the great
est influx of immigrants during the last decade, - according to the state-
menL Appalled at Standing
. "The American Legion is appalled t the discovery of America's low standing," he said. "The correction of this- deplorable state of affairs will
be- one of the foremost activities of
the Americanism Commission."
Among the first steps which- the
Legion will take is the holding of an American Education' Week, Dec. 3 to 9, inclusive, and the undertaking of
a fight for total exclusion of immigra
; tion for a period of five years, it was announced. The Legion's hope is to -eliminate illiteracy by 1927, according
to Mr. Powell.
j In co-operation with the National '. Education Association, the Legion has
, adopted as its slogan. "Adopt an Illit
erate Today," recommending that its members and other patriotic citizens teach immigrants to read and write
and make them familiar with Ameri
can history, American institutions and
systems of government. Army draft
tests showed that out of 1,552,256 per
sons -examined, 24.9' percent could
neither road nor write, Mr. Powell
declared. "

Bake Your Own x Thanksgiving Pies This Year
Give the family a real treat on
Thanksgiving day. When the turkey course has been finished and the kiddies are breathlessly waiting for goodies to come, bring on two or three pies
of your own making.
In the art of baking there is no
finer accomplishment than making
good pies and the cook who can bake
them with crusts that are light, flaky and rich, is popular indeed.
There isn't any trick In making
pastry with that melt-in-your-mouth goodness. The Department of Agriculture has published a booklet which
makes it possible for anyone. It sets
forth the right way to make practically
every pastry.
This invaluable baking booklet is a free government publication, and our Washington Information Bureatt will secure a copy for any reader who fills

leave inferences in the mind of the jury that are totally unsupported by
the -facts."
"We can furnish' you with the in ferences all right" retorted Mr. Kelley
Check Exhibited. -
The Instance leading up to the interchanse came when Mr. Kelley brought
from the witness on the stand, Frank Bescher. the fact that Mr. Dillon had
told him to cash the check in question
shortly before Dillon left for a trip to California. On cross examination, Mr. Reller sought to establish the fact that Mr. Dillon was a delegate from the Elks Lodge and as such that his expenses had been paid by the lodge. It was Kelley's objection to this form of questioning that brought the expression from Mr. Reller. "Exhibit B" the check for $62.15 payable to Clyde Green, which the prosecution alleged had been cashed by Dil
lon and the money appropriated to his own use, was the center of attention Wednesday. Confined to Check There was a notable absence in the testimony of Wednesday of any reference to high priced cameras, sale of junk, or irregular contracts, all of which had been the subject of talk in Richmond shortly after Mr. Dillon's arrest. The state confined its attention strictlv to the check, and as far as possible restricted the defense to the Rame subiect.
On the other hand, the defense snntrht hv everv means In its power to
' establish the fact that this particular ' check was only one of a series, that
thev were all paid to ureen ior me
purpose of paying bills on Dillon's car and that Dillon had been given some assurance by the board of works, that
this arrangement would he an rignu Peltz on Stand. John Peltz. former member of the board of works, was on the stand late Wednesday and was to be the first witness called Thursday. On the testi-
mony of Mr. Peltz hangs one of the most important pieces of evidence the defense has to offer.
Shortly before adjournment, Wednes
day Mr. Peltz was asked this question:
"Were you present at any conversation which took place between members of the board and James P. Dillon, regarding the maintenance of his car?" Attorney Kelley objected on the ground that testimony concerning the board of works should only be what waa on the record of the board. The court was to rule on the question Thursday. The ruling will have
an important bearing on the case, and will mean a decisive point for 'the defense if the judge admits the testimony. Green Rebuked. . Clyde Green, the garage employe, whose name was carried on the payroll as a light plant worker, proved a reluctant witness when placed on the
stand. His answers were halting and his manner indecisive. On a number of occasions he had to be prompted be
fore he would answer and the low tones used by "him finally drew a rebuke from the court "I want this witness to speak up," said Judge Bales. "You are a big husky fellow and I want you to speak so the jury can understand." "Did you make an entry on the books of "the Chenoweth Auto company to Dillon's credit?" he was asked. "I have nothing to do with the books," said Green.
That isn't answering my question.
said Mr. Kelley. The question was re
peated and he answered in the nega
tive.
Memory Is Popr.
Green testified that he did not have
any understanding whereby he was to work for the city and had not reported as having worked a certain number of hours for the city. He testified that Mr. Dillon had said the
citv would take care of his car in the
future, and that the bills should be carried as labor on the payroll. Green's memory was decidedly poor
in regard to payroll checks in general and this one in particular. The following examination ensued - when he took the stand: "Can you identify your signature on the back of thi? check?" Did you sign it?" "Do you recall ever cashing this check at any Richmond bank?" "I do not remember for sure." "Do you recall ever having it in your possession before?"
I couldn t say.
"What became of the last check
turned over to you by Mr. Dillon?" "It went to pay outstanding bills.' "What were these bills for?"
"Repair bills and bills for hauling
his car in from out of town points
At this point Attorney Kelley inter
jected a question.
"Was Dillon drunk or sober when
you went after him?" he asked.
Mr. Keller objected strenuously. "This Is character stuff," he exclaim
ed. "I object to such a line of ques
tioning. The question was withdrawn. Claims Understanding
The opening statement of Henry TJ.
Johnson, made after the state rested its case Wednesday, interpreted the
arrest and prosecution of Mr. Dillon as
the aftermath of pohticial agitation
which led up to the request fof his
resignation Jan. 1, 1922.
Tracing the career of Mr. Dillon
from the time he first entered busi
ness. Mr. Johnson described how he
had been appointed superintendent of
the light plant He stressed the faci
that the superintendent of the plant must cover a large territory, that it was necessary for this man to have
a car, and that union haa naa an in
formal understanding with the board of works that his car's expenses were
to be paid by the city.
