already expressed that the kaiser met

the attitude of the kaiser is not SO

The Question Of Blood Again.

DIR. G.. F. Warner of Mankato gave
some testimony that :. differed very
greatly from that given by, the Physl-
Clans called yesterday by the defense.
He said that blood might coagulate in
half a minute, but that the average
time tin required was FIVE to ten o,1 minutes
as was found near DR.. Ge bhardt's head
would all be coagulated in five to ten
minutes. Where a person s vitality is
reduced, as by blow on the head, the
coagulation Of the blood is much more
rapid. Blood might be on a person s
hand for several hours and come off
on post in the night time when the
temperature was Al. It would stay on
clothing longer. Blood placed on a
post under such conditions might re:
main in a condition SO that it could
be rubbed off for eight or ten hours.
It would not dry by evaporation and
absorption perhaps for some hours, 1t
a post, as stated, to be rubbed off the
following morning on PERSONS hand
DR.. Warner said that he would expect
that blood five to ten minutes old
placed on a post Nov. l, would be en-
tirely obliterated thru contact with the
elements by March II. This was the
date that test was made at the tor
Of the post for blood.
It is expected. that the rebuttal anc
surrebuttal will take up all OF the at

greatest result is it's influence in de-

Superintendent can exert powerful
influence for the betterment of educa

through organization in both coun-

thing to have all the teachers

in which just the teachers OF one
township meet the superintendent and
have a e-to-face, heart-to-heart,
round-table talk about their work.
Here if the superintendent be a
practical teacher and thoroughly
equipped for his work, he can give the
teachers the benefit of his superior
wisdom and experience. He can show
them how TO grade their pupils, how
