POSTPOLE' NAVAL CORT MARTIAL SUN. EGO, Nov. 1.—Court proceedings against the eleventh high naval officers charged with responsibility for the wrecking of seven destroyers and the loss of 23 lives, were postponed today until next Monday. The members of the court, headed by Vice Admiral Henry A. Wiley, met informally at the Eleventh Naval District Headquarters this morning and, on recommendation of Judge Advocate Leslie Bratton decided to put opening of the court martial over four days. The delay was taken in order that defense counsel might have full opportunity to study the case and prepare new lines of defense. The exact charges were not made known until three days ago, it was pointed out, and counsel desired more time to consider them before placing their clients on the stand. Captain E. H. Watson, commander of the ill-fated squadron, will likely be the first defendant to be tried, it was said. In the inquiry Captain Watson sought to assume full responsibility for the disaster. The trial will be thrown open to the public. Admiral Wiley said, as was the month-long investigation by the board of inquiry which ended six weeks ago. Students of naval history declare that never before was a court martial of eclipseative magnitude held other than behind closed doors. Little Talks on Thrift By S. W.

STRAUS President American Society for Thrift Ten million people in the United States who can neither read nor write! Twenty million illiterates and near-illiterates! One finds these amazing statements in a recent survey of illiteracy conditions in the United States compiled by the Illiteracy Commission of the National Education Association. In view of the fact that our nation will soon devote an entire week to the special consideration of educational matters, it is well to have this concise statement of exact conditions placed before us at this time. Perhaps no aspect of real national thrift is of greater significance from the standpoints alike of national duty and opportunity than this situation. In a general way the illiterate is out of the race. He doesn't count. His responsibilities for personal success are negative. He adds little or nothing to the nation's economic welfare. Furthermore, as it is pointed out by the Illiteracy Commission, semi-barbaric conditions exist in illiterate sections. Moral standards are extremely low. The sanctity of the marriage vows is disregarded. So-called business is carried on through a crude system of barter and trade. Neither gold, silver nor paper money exists as a medium of exchange. These points only suggest briefly some of the many national disadvantages of a large illiteracy population. We give thought and attention to the development of our great local resources. We are enervating in every way to develop our nation physically. But we are exemplifying a poor type of national thrift and enlightenment when we neglect the moral and material advantages that would accrue from a more intensive and comprehensive educational policy. Addition wrote: "The philosopher, the saint, the hero, the wise, the good, the great man very often lies concealed in a plebian whom proper education might have disinterred and brought to light." The material, mental and moral beyond calculation. Mrs. Anthony Drexel Biddle Mrs. Anthony Drexel Biddle may be ranked as the richest woman in America and the second richest person in the country on the basis of the reports to the U.S. tax assessment department. Her personal assessment for the year is $2,000,000, second only to that of a New York scrap iron dealer, Eli Joseph. John D. Rockefeller is third. THOUSANDS LICKED UP BY THE FLAMES SACRAMENTO, Nov. 1.—Fire losses on state-supervised property during the last week in September and the first three weeks of October totaled $1,852,963.30, according to a final report for the present season ended today by State Forester M. B. Pratt. It was once thought the automobile would take more people to church, but it seems to carry a lot of them right by. Woodland Mall. Napa county sustained the largest loss, with 30,000 acres of grass burned over and 22,000 acres of brush destroyed valued at $80,500. Solano county, with 21,000 acres of brush destroyed, valued at $61,000, is second. Other counties sustaining heavy losses are Shasta, with 1860 acres of timber burned over, and 2360 acres of brush, valued at $42.,452.50, and Los Angeles with $34,792 damages resulting from timber, grass and brush fires, totaling 6552 acres. We see where a Kentucky hen broke into the newspapers by cackling 60 hours without stopping. It is not on record that she laid an egg to justify her commotion, but the very fact that she did so much cackling got her a lot of publicity. And then, her cackling grew to be a nuisance—and her owner chopped her head off. It's the same way with a lot of people — Humboldt (Nev.) Star. waste represented by twenty million illiterates and near illiterates in the United States is beyond calculation.
