They crowd the schools to full capacity and there are hundreds who cannot as yet be taken care of on account of the lack of teachers and other facilities. Men and women of middle age vie with sandal-footed youths to obtain enough instruction to enable them to read and write. In one of the larger schools there Is an average attendance of 800 persons. . . ; The teaching of the fundamentals, which is being done in the schools, Is supplemented by a series , of educa tional lectures that are given in mov ing picture theaters on Sundays. So successful has been this plan of teach ing the lowly natives the rudiments of reading and writing in this city that the department of public educa tlon plans to extend tne work to all of the larger cities and many of the smaller communities of the country. President Alvaro Obregon ' has shown a keen Interest In this new phase of education end has pledged to provide ' the necessary financial means for carrying' It forward.' mix Was Weak "After the birth of my baby I had a back-set," writes Mrs. Mattie Cross white, of Olade Spring," Va ;MI was very ill; thought 1 was going to die.

WATAUGA COUNTY, NORTH STEA!.:ER SIT.XS CI CCLLISI3:i Passengers And Crew. Leap Into Sea From Doomed 8Mp Two-American Women Are Missing ' London. Two American' women, lira. M. L Blbley and Miss V. M. Boyer, were on board the steamer Egypt, and are missing, according to the Peninsular and Oriental line offic ials here. Their home addresses are not known to officials of the company. R. F. Bevan, another American, was eared. " Brest-Nearly 1Q6 persons perished when the Peninsular and Oriental steamship Egypt sank off the Island of TJahant,' after a collision with the French freight steamer Seine. The Egypt sailed from London for Bombay recently with forty-four pas sengers' and a crew , of 290. A roll call on board the Seine after the! dhv aster showed that at least fifteen of the paasengers and eighty of the crew of the Egypt were missing. The collision occurred during a dense fog within twenty-two miles of the Armen lighthouse. The' dinner gong was about to be sounded on board the Egypt Many of the passen gers and most of thecrew were on deck. The shock threw sereral per Jons into the sea; others Jumped and a number went down with the shin. which sank in twenty minutes. ;The Egypt was rammed amldshlp on the port side. The Seine, badly damaged, reached Brest with 2d rescued passengers, more than 200 of the crew and the bodies of 20 dead. The captain of the Egypt is among the saved. When, the collision' occurred there was a rolling sea, ' Some of those res cued charge that the Indian sailors on board the Egypt took to the life boats Immediately the Teasels crashed, to that a large number of the crew and passengers had to shift for themserres. Those who Jumped into the sea and who could swim scrambled about for hits of wreckage to which they might cling. Many of these were rescued. They floated about In the fog after the Egypt went down, calling for help. The sound of their voices directed members of the crew of the Seine in small toats -who-were-patrolling the sea, picking up both living and dead. In some Instances the rescued crews came upon persons clinging to bits of debris who let go and sank Juat as atd was at hand. , The small boats, on numerous occasions sought vainly in the fog to locate persons who lifted cries of distress through the fog. Among the known missing are the doc tor and chief engineer of the Egypt Captain Lebarzlc, of the Slene, In describing the disaster, said: "i was ai my post on tne upper bridge at 7 o'clock p. m., fifteen miles from Armen light The sea .was calm, with a slight swell. The fog was very dense. I was listening for fog horns and proceeding at the slow speed of five knots. . "In less than it takes to 'tell a great steamer emerged from the fog. It struck my ship and tore away the forward works and moved on at great speed. I immediately, ordered our en gines reversed."

New York. Not many people know that among the many interesting things which develop in New York city is a group of Chinese philosophers who dwell in a bamboo forest Know ing that the forest Is on Macdougal street helps, for many Interesting things come out of Macdougal street The head of the philosophic group is Dr. Lin Tien Tao, who received de grees both in China and at Columbia, and who, once a week, may be found imparting knowledge of Chinese lan guage, philosophy and poetry to a group of students. These Include art ists, writers and Chinese students. The Chinese In themselves are inter esting, for. they come from different parts of the world, where they have lived since leaving their native land. One speaks French and does not un derstand English ; another speaks Bus- Teach Chinese. I Chinese is taught by Doctor Liu in a semi-popular way, much as the Euro pean languages are taught It is com paratively simple to obtain a slight working knowledge of the language, the students find. The delight of writ ing mysterious characters sucn as those which grow on tea chests is one of which the pupils never tire. In time they expect to a certain extent to read Chinese poetry and philosophy, In the 'meantime they imbibe it from Doctor Liu, 'who later is' to arrange special courses in Chinese poetry and philosophy, with the aid of lecturers from Columbia. Doctor Liu believes that his work is valuable In promoting mutual under standing between Chinese and Ameri cans. Be thinks each country can ob tain of the other something of value Which it needs that China can get practical business methods from Amer lea and America can feel the quieting Influence of Chinese philosophy. In the meantime, the American stu dents of Chinese are absorbing knowl edge literally in a bamboo forest. It Is something like Shakespeare's "tongues in trees, books in running brooks." At the Bamboo Forest the students read if they can make It out Chinese poetry written on lacquered tables, some of it by great national poets and other verses contributed by Doctor Liu himself. Big decorative Chinese characters signifying "happl ness" or "wisdom" cover the wills or the bamboo poles which form the forest, In Bamboo Forest.' This forest is a Chinese tea garden which, with American business vision, Doctor Liu saw would have to pay overhead charges while he was carry ing on his chosen work and gathering around him as applicants for Chinese wisdom little coteries of Interested philosophers and friends. The tables covered with Chinese characters were all decorated by the bead philosopher himself. The Bamboo Forest is indoors in basement of the little old Macdougal street house In winter, but In fair weather extends to a more real bam boo forest in the open at the rear. Doctor Liu is a philosophic philoso pher. Be takes the American world as he finds it and adopts its customs and habits. Be attended the recent ball of the Independent Artists at the Wal dorf dressed as a prince of the old Tang period. But he danced American dances with the rest of the American world, an accomplishment he learned while at Columbia. The bead philosopher of the Bamboo Forest comes from a family of both students and warriors. His father was president of a Chinese college, and an uncle, the famous Gen. Hwang Hslng, led the republican forces in the revo lution in China In 1912. Lightning Kills Trout in New York State Pond- Washington. An Interesting letter was received' by the fish eries bureau the other day from B. H. Norton of Syracuse, whose ponds were stocked wltb trout fry by the bureau a while ago. It reads: m ' We have been very successful In raising, the trout allotted to osi The only loss we have had was one trout that was struck by lightning." . 1, 1922 U.S.MINISTERSTQPS HG1IT AT NICARAGUA REBELS RETURN FORTRESS TO GOVERNMENT FORCE8 THRU UNITED 8TATES MARINES SEVERAL SOLDIERS WOUNDED Firm 8tand Taken By Minister Ramer peacefully settle Serious Sit uation At Managua Managua, Nlc. A revolutionary movement broke out here recently against President Diego Manuel Cham ano, a band of rebels seising Fortress Lome, commanding this city.

Other leaders of the revolutionary movement are Adam Canton and Salvador Cas- trillo. All are prominent conserva tives, but are of the action opposed to the present government.

He also proposed that General Cruz sund three representatives to the American legation to meet three rep resentatives of the government for Joint conference. Mt. Ramer then communicated by wireless with Rear Admiral Cole, of the United States navy, woh replied that be was within 00 miles of NIca ragua, and would arrive at Corlnto with 400 marines. The government was busy recrultim? troops and . expected that 1.000 men would arrive within a few hours from Granada. mere was rifle and machine ran firing between the government troops and those holding the fortress, several soldier being wounded.
