WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. Franklin
Lane, former secretary of the interior
today issued a statement making public
summary of what he calls "the first

. Economics to tthe Liberal Arts
Women in Uruguay are greater lovers
of home life than are Missouri women,
according Jo Carlos' Monteverde, a stu
dent in the School of .-Medicine of the
University. Monteverde bases hit 'opin
ion on the differences in courses chosen
by girls in the United Slates and in
Uruguay.
In regard to Uruguay's schools, Mon
tererde says: "The public school sys
tem in Uruguay is similar to that of
the United Slates, from which it is
copied in tlie main . It has striking
difference, however, with reference to
training of girls, Sihouls of domestic
sciences and home economics are main
tamed for the girls, but a higher edu
cation in arts and science is not afford
ed to the majority of the female popula
tion. In fact, they do not care for those
courses because their main interests are
in the home."
llien asked what differences between
students here and in his own country
were most noticeable, Monteverde said:-

It also shows, he states, that the coun

the wave of extravagance subsiding, sa

and a growing disposition for hard

lack of knowledge of business condi

Under the beading of indusUial con
ditions Mr. Lane says: "Economically,
the United States is shown to be better
off than any other country in the world.
there is no evidence of idleness. Our
people have the opportunity to work and
are all at work.
"Transportation conditions are im
proving everywhere and a substantial re
daction in the freight car shortage is re
ported In every district except in the
Rocky Mountain states.
a "A ahortage of coal and the failure of
labor to increase individual productivity
appear to be the only two unfavorable
aspects in the immediate industrial sit
uation. The Rocky Mountain and Pacific
state report a sufficient supply of fuel.
All i other sections of the country are
feeling the shortage, but it is apparently
'least felt by the South Atlantic states, x
"Although labor is costing still more
than last year, it apparently is producing
no more. Wages have advanced from 10
to SO percent in the last 12 months and
yet nowhere is there reported increased
productivity per man.

"The call fociiuildings comes loudest
from the most essential places of manu

"In the financial field money is tight.
That may mean scleral things ! First,
that the people want money badly, to
put into producing activities; second,
that the banks attempt to get Whatever
the traffic will bear, shearing close to the
akin; third, that there is an inadequate
supply of money, or, fourth, that those
who have money lack confidence. There
are other reasons no doubt, and among
them that the dollar now buys less than
heretofore; people .with money wish to
charge mora for the service than money

of these causes is the most important
factor, but probably all contribute to
the present situation.

Monteverde says that foreign languages
are taught extensively in Uruguay's
primary and secondary schools. He has
studied French five years and English

Although the congress is expected to
give a great impetus to Ihe anti-alcohol
