Vaughn because of the bread he be
gun to like her because of her own

in love with the one who made the
rival bread. And so the jury was ask.
ed to make Mrs. Vaughn pay fol

Mrs. Vaughn was II years old. and moi
more than 16 when IL ended The
judge startled the jury when he OBJ
served that hugging and kissing be
tween men and women who are moi
husband and wife. even when they
may be somebody's else, is no crime
Anyhow, lie ruled. il could not be urg
ed as grounds for damages in a sui

NORWOOD PUPILS
MAY BE SPANKED
School Board UphOIdS the
Actions Of Their
Principal

CHESTER. Pa, Jan. 2s.-Norwood's
Board of School Directors favors judicious
spankings. tannings and wallopings.
Though corporal punishment may be
frowned upon throughout the rest OF the
State. the educators OF this borough in
cline to the theory that the big stick"
should have place in the curriculum.
This attitude on the part of the tiirec-
tors was made manifest last night. when
Professor Clarence Nj. Snyder, a former
University of PENNSYLVANIA student and
now principal Of the Norwood combined
high and grammar school, was arraigned
TO answer charges Of brutality. cruelty
and conduct unbecoming a teacher" D"
Professor Snyder admitted that he had
spanked one boy, shaken another with
considerable energy and lashed both Of
them with a strap. but the board found
that he was not guilty Of the charges
made against him. and therefore fully ex-
onerated him.
Accusations against the teacher were
made by Charles Shaw. member OF a
wholesale millinery firm al No. 1919 Race
street. and Charles Gibbons. a shoe man
ufacturer. with Offices at No. so North
Fourth street.
Shaw complained thar hts son ray-or
had been turned over the teachers knee
and whipped, and then thrown into a seat
and struck with a strap. Gibbons as.
serted that his boy had been shaken
around so that his leg hit desk and was
injured, and that he was then treated tc
a dose Of strap oil also. To show how
vigorously the boys had been dealt viii
the elder shaw exhibited a torn blous,
which his son had worn last Monda,
when the boys were chastised.
Both of the boys were brought up {,
tell their stories. They admitted thai
they had thus been dealt with becaus,
they had snowballed Martha Harvey an,
Emma Ickes two OF the girl pupils o
the school They alleged. however. tha
they had tried to get away from the prin
cipal when they saw that he was going t,
beat them but that he called them bacl
saying that he would not hurt them.
