Chicago. Sept. lO.Editor of The
Eagle: VIII you please ask the high
school committee of the Board of Edu.
cation the following questions? The
high school expenses for the year lS0G.
were cut $4,000.
I. Why do not the principals. whose
salaries are almost double the assist
ant teachers. receive any cut ut aN:
They are better able to lose 5000 OF $500
u year than the teachers are to lose $50
or siCO. and yet they do not bear ono
cert Of the recent cut.
.. Why do the supcrlntendents.
whose salaries are from $4,000 10 $1,000
bear 70 part OF this burden! Are they
not better able to stand cut than the
teachers? is II fair? Is II just!
,. In these hard times. when every
one Is saving ana pnchlng and the
people are grOaning under the heavy
taxes and there IL talk Of oven abolish.
Ing the high school altogether because
of the heavy burden. why Is the salary
Of Stuart u. Sabin Of the Medlll school
raised 200 for the coming year right
IN the face OF this c,ainor for reduction! !
Mr.. SabIn has had only four or iiv"
years experience ms a teacher. More
over. he draws u large salary Hs n mt.
sician outside of his school work, while
one of his assistants. who has been u

800 for the coming year. Is there not

In the proceedings Of the board is MI

column like the others? - 1t not be-
cause YOU are ashamed to have the pco'
DIE see such favoritlsm!
These are some of the questions the
taxpayers are asking each other. loo';
through the official report OF the board
for June 90 and you will see that not
single person drawing over $1,000 q

MRS. ENG WON 1T.

Last December the San Francisco EX-
aminer published a mystery page and
offered prizes aggregating $500 for the
most nearly correct solution. OF the
mystery, and the result just published
shows that an Ogden lady, Mrs. M. r.
Emig, won the second prize of $3.50.
The page consisted of a story with an
illustration for the same but the lines
Of type had been mixed in all con.
ceiyable combinations and the picture
had also been sliced and the pieces
likewise mixed The object was TO get
the lines of type and the sections of
the picture correctly arranged. There
were hundreds of competitors and Mrs.
Emig, who resides at 961 TWenty-hfth
street, has been the recipient Of many
congratulations because of her success.
She is quite well known in ogden and
is the widow Of gorge S. Emig.
When told by the correspondent that
she had won the second prize Mrs.
Emig gave her experience in solving
the mystery page as follows:
II picked out the first few lines and
commenced to number them, intending
to write them off according to number,
but l found l could make no Roadway.
Suddenly it occurred to me to pick out
the first lines of the paragraphs, and
add to each paragraph until complet-
ed. Of course, some of the different
lines would fit onto several paragraphs
and then, for instance, 1 found three
or four lines without which the para
graph would read all right. AS [ used
a line I checked off the other paper
and thus kept track of my progress
How long did it take you?"
Lets see. We got the paper on
Monday but l cid not think of making
an attempt at the solution until Tues
day evening, December 81, and l fin
ished and sent it to the express Office
about II O'clock Tuesday, Jan. 7, just
a week later. Nearly all the work was
done in the evening, and several times
l worked until midnight. Sometimes it
seemed as if never would get through
and I felt like giving up more than
once. And then some of the para
graphs about that lieutenant riding
| the bucking horse gave me a great
deal Of trouble. i have never seen a
bucklng horse, and didn't know what
