- springs from two sources. The
primary one is the ardor and real OF men
seeking wives competent TO manage the
culinary department of a home. The sec
ond comes from the school board. which
is striving TO FIJI the vacancies caused
by marriage. As soon as a vacancy Is
filled and the competency Of the teacher
established, selfish men lay siege to the
school kitchen and kidnap the prize, while
teachers In other branches Of the schools
scarcely receive a passing nod from Dan
Cupid, Only those who can feed the
brute get the pick Of the crowd Of
bachelors.
Ever since st. Louis Board Of Education
decreed that a teacher, on marrying. must
give up her position in the schools. the
board has had trouble. The marriage eere-
mony makes the teachers resignation
operative whether It is offered or not.
Twelve and a half per cent Of the do
nestle science force has found husbands,
while only about one-half OF 1 per cent Of
the eligible pedagogical talent on the gen.
eral force has succumbed.
sociologists Of the public school forces
claim that the figures offer suggestions to
embryo teachers on the study Of domestic
science, which branch they may espouse
" avoid, according to bent.

hold accomplishments. In addition they
must have passed examinations before the
accomplished officers of the Board Of Edu-
cation, in which examinations they must
ave made an average Of 70 per cent or
higher. with 100 perfection.
The qualifications of these teachers in

therefore. practically are beyond question.

theory of the police who are working
on the mysterious tragedy. 1t is
known that the laborers left the sa-

lived in the vicinity of the tragedy on
the night of the girls disappearance
and that they did not return and have
not been seen since. The fiends are
believed to have left the city on a
north bound freight train early Sat-

horrible crime. 1t is also known that
the beer bottles found in the shed
where the girls remains were found
were handled at the saloon where the
Russian laborers made their abode.
While no arrests have yet been made,
the police are examining all persons
who may be able to throw any light
on the mystery.

WILL MOVE To
REJECT BUDGET
Lords Will Appeal to the Coun
try Upon the Issue
Raised

LONDON, NOV 1S.-In the house of
lords today Lord Lansdowne, leader of
the opposition. gave formal and ex-
pected notice of his intention to move
for the rejection of the budget bill
when it comes up next Monday. His
motion, he said. would be expressed
thus: 81 move that this house is not
justified in giving it's consent to this
bill until 1t has been submitted to the
Judgment of the country"
Necessarily the budget will be re-
jected by the. house of lords, for the
unionist peers are in a great majority,
and they and their followers bitterly
oppose the budget. chiefly because of
it's proposed increase of land taxes
and death duties.
This means that the crisis has ar
rived which King Edward earnestly
sought to avert. 1t means that there
will be general election in January.
for, of course, no ministry can sur
vive a defeat on the annual budget.
The scenes in the house of lords to-
day was almost grotesque. despite the
momentous issues at stake. Only six
teen peers were seated on the opposi-
tion benches. and thirteen faced them
on the government side. The little
press gallery was packed. but else
where the house was deserted. The
members of the diplomatic corps, who
flock to hear duke discourse on
militia training, were absent to man
on this occasion, which must become
historic.
When the marquis of Lansdowne
arose he Kept drawing slip of paper
through his fingers, as though he was
a diapers assistant measuring out a
yard of ribbon. He gave the notice in
his quietest. least emotional, most
precise tones. AS he ceased to speak,
a correspondent in the press gallery
exclaimed: There goes the iron
British constitution into the melting
pot
Lord Lansdowne's calm challenge
to tn hous of commons unfettered
control over the countrys finances,
it's most potent and most cherished
privilege, was followed by silence,

tic followers.

In the house of lords. listened to the
motion as though it was of no i'm
portance or interest whatever. Not a
word was said on either side. The
lords turned laughingly to the consid-
Grafton of a subject as far removed as
the Transvaal.
A more perfect illustration of the
schooled reserve. the traditional re-
pose of the house of lords. could not
be afforded. When the newspaper men
stampeded from the press gallery to
the telegraph Office to send the i'm
portant news to the four corners of
the globe, the peers seemed only bored.
49,, Premier Notified.
The terms of Lord Lansdowne's
motion were communicated to Premier
Asquith at an early hour and dis
cussed by the cabinet council. The
unionists anticipate that 300 peers
will support Lord Lansdowne, while
the supporters of the government in
the house of lords number only forty.
