TRUOKS AND TRACTORS
REDUCE USE OF OATS
By iMetatM Trees
Washington, June 2 —Production of
oats in the United States probably has
readied its highest point, in the opin-
ion of experts of the Department of
Agriculture.
The yearbook of the department
for 1922 declares the advent of motor-
ized trucking, both the city and cou-
untry and of the tractor on the farm
are reducing margedly the commercial
demand for feeding oats. The result
it :s predicted, will reduce the acrege
and production, which have increased
rapidly and consistently since annual
estimates first became available in
1866. The oat crop now ranks third
in importance, the creals being next
to the oorn and wheat.
The importance of balrey, which
ranks fourth among cerels in this con-
try, is Increasing even though produc-
tion is not. The average annul pro-
duction of barley for the ten years
ended in 1922 was about 193,000,000
bushels. The future outlook for this
crop is said to be encouraging.
Rye is listed as an important crop
in this country, but there has been an
increase in production since 1912, due
to an increased European demand
which is expected -to dissapper lated
in larger measure.

posing three quarters of the world’s
workers with hands and bran, who

ing done and should be done to meet
tbis and related problems is dealt with
in a report prepared for presentation
today to the Second World’s Confer-
ence of Y. M ,C. A. workers with boys
bv an international vocational com-
mission.
\ section of the report dealing with
the vocational status of boyhood in the
United Sstates was prepared by C. C.
Robinson of New York City, author
of vocational books and secretary of
the Internationa] Committee, Y. M. C.
A., for work with employed boys. His
report is based in part on a series of
special hearings, the participants In
which included college and university
professors, school teachbrs, editors,
business and industrial managers, la-
bor leaders, specialists in mental hy-
giene and representatives of the
church, national societies and govern-
ment bureaus.
The largest hearing, Mr. Robinson
reports, both in numbers and variety
of representation, was at San Fran-
cisco, where the junior high school
and the private school for teaching
trade came In for strong commenda-
tion. Labor representatives favored
continuation schools, and apoke very
strongly against workng boys trying
to attend school at night.
Approximately 5,000,000 boyB, 14 to
20 years of age, are gainfully employ-
ed in the United States, the report
points out. In addition at least half
as many more attend school and work
part time. This is particularly true
of ambitious high school toys even
from what are called good families,
and many boys from poorer homes also
work part time while they are in the
grade schools. In most sections of
the country, state laws prevent boys
from working earlier than 14 years
of age and there is a tendency on the
part of social workers to push this
age to 16 years. In most states, boy
who work between 14 and 16 do so
upon work-certificates and are obliged
to continue some educational work.
Twenty-one states have formed contin-
uation schools for this puipose.
Increasingly, the report states, effort,
is being made bv educators, the more
cne’ghiened employers, and welfare
agencies of all kinds lo provide for all
boys, rich and poor, vocational guid-
ir,co. wisely done, is directed toward
saving boys from disaster.
Rapid advance hes been made by
aviators has been brought squarely be-
fore the public by the great non-stop
flight across the continent by Lieuten-
ants MacReady and Kelley and also
through this demonstration of Its feas-
ibility, general night flying and the de-
livery of mail during the night may
become an accomplished fact before
the end of the summer, according to
I. J. O’Malley, of Chicago, in a recent
address before the Chicago Aviation
club.
"A great part of the plans for this
epoch-making achievement in aviation
now rests with the pubic utility light-
ing companies or the cities themselves,
said Mr. O'Malley. “Guide or beacon
lights are necessary for night flying
particularly when stops are to be made
for delivery of mail or passengers. A
great start has been made iu this re-
spect, as well as in the construction
of landing fields, and probably more
work will be done in this direction
during the coming summer.
“The United States Aerial Mail has
developed a plan for flying night mail
which seems thoroughly practicable,
once the various cities over which the
night mail passes agree to maintain
the necessary lighting system and the
emergency landing fields. t
"It is a fact that the whole future
success of the aerial mall hinges upon
the success of night flying, since the
time that is lost by laying over nights
would eliminate the saving in time
obtaned through day flying.
"The night flyer Is reduced to flying
by compass, and no compayB has yet
been evolved that is sufficiently Te-
llable to be depended upon exclusive-
ly. Then the question of forced land-
ings is Involved. In event of motor
failure the flyer 1b obliged to make a
landing. This is sometimes danger-
ous. although not as much as one may
think, since a plane, properly equipped
with search lights operated from bat-
teries, can be guided intelligently
when near the ground, although being
without power it cannot rise again if
the ground is unsuitable for landing.
“In general, night flying depends
upon beacon lights at various points
along the route by which the flyer may
know his location; emergency landing
fields Indicated by upward streaming
searchlights; planes equipped with
searchlights for landing and the culti-
vate!' of a night flying sense.

WOMAN LEGISLATOR
AFTER DIVORCE LAWYERS
By Associated Tress
Austin, Texas, June 4. — Divorce
suits are being commercialized by a
number of lawyers in Texas in the
opinion of Mrs. Edith Wilmans, state
representative from Dallas and first
woman legislator in Texas. To curb
such practice, Mrs. Wilmans proposed
a $2.50 occupation tax on lawyers for
each divorce petition filed.
Mrs. Wilmans stated that lawyers
in some cities of the state have been
known to make several thousands dol-
lars y-ithin a few hours by represent-
ing persons in divorce suits. She said
some lawyers cater to and specialize
in this ivork. Passage of the occupa-
tion tax bill would have reduced the
[commercialization of divorces and also
would have netted the state approxi-
mately $25,000 annually in revenue, the
Dallas representative declared.

have made valuable contributions tn
pioneering in various types of educa-
tion. The new plan of the Junior Di-
vision of the IT. S. Employment Service
is a hopeful step.
Studies conducted by Mr. Robinson
among 183 boys as to their ami-bitions
compared with their father's occupa-
tions show a definite tendency to
move up in the social scale. None of
the group chose to be day laborers, |
and few are seeking small commercial
positions, most of the boys’ whose)
fathers are in such work, expressing j
eagerness to enter the professions ori
higher commercial occupations. How- j
over, nearly as many boys ^s have j
fathers ;n skilled trades desire to take
up similar work, the high pay beingl
the attraction.
A five-year occupational study of I
hundreds of high school pupils, both)
hoys and girls, revealed that the boys |
o" comparatively low intelligence,
chose vocations far beyond their pow-
ers, only 9 per cent being engaged, at
the end of five years, in occupations
as favorable as was their original pre-1
ference. “Either the girls chose more)
wisely as to fitness," says the report,!
“or else they were more moderate in j
their ambitions. Even in cases of i
higher intelligence, the girls seem to \
have a much better percentage than i
the boys. Doubtless this situation will j
improve in time, some of the boys
reaching positions more favorably
comparable with their schoolboy am-
bitions.
“The situation is an explanation of
the justification of the “blind alley"
job, the vice of which consists in stay-
ing too long in that particular place.
Many such jobs have a proper place
in a socialized economic order; they
are important cogs in the commercial
and industrial machine, and if used
only temporarily, serve a purpose in
enabling boys to earn needed money
while preparing themselves for some-
thing better.’’

More than 986,000 acres were plant-
