PASADENA CONTRACTORS MAY
SUE SAN DIEGO SCHOOL BOARD
snecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Nov. 13.-H L. Ellsworth
and s. w. Upton, building contractors
of this city, claim the board of education
of San Diego cheated them out of $500
by not giving them the contract to con-
struct a school building when they SUBJ
mitted the lowest bid.
The Pasadena firm has forwarded to
the San Diego school board a demand for
the above amount, which they claim
would have been their profit had they
been awarded the contract.
If the demand is refused Ellsworth &
Co. will probably sue for the amount.
The school contract called for
$40, 900 building, and although the Pasa-
dena men bid lower than any others, the
contract was awarded to San Diego con-
tractors.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 13.-With the head
nearly severed from the trunk, the body
of Perry Drew, a war veteran, was found

heard the groans of the man in his dy-

ear to ear, being deep enough to sever
the windpipe, thus strengthening the
murder theory.
He had leave of absence from the
Sawtelle soldiers home, which would

Money and Kisses,

A man living for the time being in
Columbus and who is in the habit of
giving his wife q generous roll of bills
the first day of every month for her pin
money complained the other day that
she owed him $3.50 for acting as her
caddie while on the golf links during a
visit to the sunny south. She demurred,
but asked if he would be willing to
take the pay in kisses. Although a
Benedict of long standing, he still
adores his wife, and he agreed to this
method of payment.
While they were at breakfast on the
first day of the following month he
drew out his pocketbook and began
counting out various bills of large de-
nomination, while she, with hand out
stretched, waited eagerly for the roll,
remarking that her last months allow
ance was all spent.
"Wait a moment" he said. II be-
lieve I'll give you kisses instead" And
the money was stuffed back in his
pocket, much to her dismay.
1t is only fair to say, however, that
later she received both money and
kisses.-Columbus Dispatch.

TESTING Bordeaux Mixture.

There are three simple tests for Dor
deauX mixture which may be used:
First hold a clean, bright knife blade
in the bordeaux for at least one min
ute. 1t it becomes copper plated, more
lime should be used. Second pour
some of the bordeaux into shallow
dish and, holding it UP to the light,
blow gently across it's surface. If
properly made, thin pellicle will
form on the surface of the liquid. If
this does not form, more lime should be
added. Third, dissolve one ounce of
ferrocyanide Of potassium in five or
six ounces of water, pour some of the
bordeaux into a white dish and add to
it few drops of the ferrocyanide so
luton. If sufficient lime has been
used no change will be noticed. If a
brownish red discoloratiOn takes place,
more lime should be added.-A. E..

Hank Hinman sat on the front porch
and gazed frankly and longingly across
the neat fence to where Matte Formall
worked in the garden and apparently
gave him no heed. Human had yet to
find that woman may look north or
south and yet be seeing east or west.
Matte very much approved Of Hin
mans attitude. The hunched up Shout
ders spoke eloquently of the good effect
of her training. AS a rule, those shout
ders were accustomed to swagger, and
it was the swagger to which Matte had
objected. Just because they were en-
gagged she did not concede his right to
order her about, and the engagement
had been broken.
Now that he was in this frame of
mind she was quite willing to make up
but naturally to let the overture come
from her would be a tactical error, and
it did not look as though Hank would
ever be enough himself again to make
