PARIS, Oct. 13.-The French govern

from the general strike of railroad en-
playes with a firmness that challenges
the admiration of even those who SYM
pathize with the men in their demands
for a minimum wage of 81 a day.
This morning five of the most inf1u-
entail strike leaders were placed under
arrest. This action was in fulfillment of
Premier Brian's promise to punish the
agitators who, he has declared, precipi-
tated an insurrectiony movement at the
very hour that the premier and NJ.
Millerand, the minister of public works,
posts and telegraph, were conducting ne
gotiations looking to the peaceful ad-
justment of the differences between the
railroad managers and theiremployes.

Concerning School House
Construction.

We are mailing you herewith a
copy of Designs and Specifications
for New Mexico Public School Build
ings," and beg to call your atten-
ton especially to the following por-
tions of the book:
Pages 4-5-6 concerning the
size and location of the school site,
the general structure and appear
ancc of the school house, and the
important item of ventilation.
Pages Ills and II concerning
heating, lighting and seating.
You will note that the plans shown
in this book are for small school
buildings built of adobe, brick or
lumber. On account of the fact
that these buildings are small, the
funds of the district usually limited,
and the climate of our territory
such as To hardly warrant the es-
tablishment of an expensive heat
ing plant. We have emphasized
mainly the manner of heating school
houses by the use of the stove. If
the directions as tO the location and
jackcting of the stove are followed,
excellent results will be obtained.
The lighting arrangements Of
these buildings the one side unilat-
eral system is the most satisfac-
tory of all systems, and il is hoped
tina; all who have to do with tie
construction of school buildings will
give serious consideration to this
plan of lighting.
A carefully prepared bill of ma
tcrial is found in the back part of
the book to cover each type of build
ing shown.
The department has a supply Of
these books and we wish to supply
with copies all boards of directors
contemplating the construction of
school houses. Each county super
intendent and each newspaper in the
territory is supplied at once. All
who have made requests of the de-
partment will receive pamphlets
promptly. We shall very much ap-
prcciatr the assistance of the press
and the county superintendcnts in
securing general distribution of
these pamphlets among persons who
are interested in school house con-
struction.
Thanking you for whatever assis-
tancc you may he able to give in
the matter of improvement of
school houses of our territory. am,
Yours very sincerely,

DEM|NG LOYAL
TO HER SCHOOLS
Vast Audience Creets and
Cheers Defamation Con-
test Friday Evening
GIRLS WIN THE MEDALS
Mary Young and frankie
Watkins Awarded First
and Second Prizes.

That Deming Is intensely loyal to
her superior public schools was
plainly In evidence Friday evening
by the vast audience that gathered
to enjoy the declamatory contest
that was participated in by repre-
sentatives of nearly all the grades.
Prolonged applause greeted every
effort and it is not necessary to
say each was worthy of it.
Supt. Doderer, one of the most
efficient instructors in New Mexico,
when il comes to results, opened
the exercises with brief remarks,
followed by an invocation by Rev.
Moore. A company of Is little
"Hummers," under direction of
Miss Pearl Anderson, our most eff
cient instructor of music, rendered
several selections that brought forth
a storm Of applause.
The first defamation, The Lance
of Kanana," was delivered in a
masterful and impressive manner
by James Patterson, a junior, which
was followed by frankie Watkins of
the 7th grade, with an exceedingly
clever Interpretation of What came
to Dilly's House." Minnie Swopc,
of the 9Th grade. came next with
very interesting story of "A Little
Feminine Casabianca. A song,
"Dolly's Lullaby" by the Hum
mers" octet, Helen Hubbard, Teres-
"a Wilton. Mary Worrell, Juliette
Milford. Lyn Robertson, Rena Hol-
stein, Charlotte Martin and Helen
Holt, en- costume, with dollies in
arms, was next very kindly received
by the audience.
The next defamation, "Seein'
Things at Night" by Sarah Bowler,
9Th grade, b. was greeted with pro-
longed applause. The Bear Story"
as told by Mary Young, 9th grade,
A, denoted rare ability for one of
her years. Vincent Young, fresh
man, followed his sister with "A
Literary Nightmare" The boys
glee club rendered Out in the
Deep" in a manner that called them
back for a second selection. The
King of Boyville," by Dorothy
Meyer, 9th grade, b, was one of the
very interesting features of the pro-
gram, which was followed by "A
Christmas Substitute" was very
ably interpreted by Janette Merrill,
the last, but by no means the least,
defamation, bill Smith," being
rendered by Ralph Dunson, 5th
grade, A.
While the judges were counting
the ballots, the Euterpeans, under
the direction of Miss Pearl Anderson,
whom we again assert is an excel
lent musical instructor, put on the

Latest in Dances

- Philadelphia Ledger: In order
to be thoroughly abreast of the
times, Chicago dancing masters
have invented and introduced the
aviation dance" This is de-
scribed as a great improvement
over the classic waltz and two-step,
inasmuch as the light fantastic toe
of the dancer is rivalry of Adelaid
Genee, scarcely touches the floor
at all. There have been many at
tempts made from time to time to
popularize extravagant saluatory
maneuvers and gyrations in the
ball room, but they have not been
successful. 1t remains to be seen
whether the aviation dance" OF
'airship glide" will displace the
conventional dance measures thai
have held their own for so many
years.

Harmony Meeting has been
Postponed

Mitchell, June 14.-Thearrange-
ments which were made to hold a
harmony meeting in this city Sat-
urday yeveningbetween the stalwarts
and the progressives were called
off late Saturday afternoon owing
to the fact that six or eight men of
both factions were out of the city
and could not return in time for
the meeting. All Of them are in
sympathy with the harmony idea.
The meeting however, will be held
some time this week. When the
idea was first proposed it was &C,
cepted in a very generous manner
by both factional leaders. while
the rank and file was enthusiastic
over the proposition. Many mer
of the latter were insistent tina
some such meeting was absOlutel,
necessary in view of the recen
primary campaign and it is fel
that there will be no failure O
harmony when the two faction
get together and talk the situation
over in fair manner. The dis
position has been plainly eviden
in the past two weeks to effect
reconciliation.
