CHEVY CHASE CHARTER
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION
Property Owners Getting Ready for
Town E1ection-Many Points
at Issue.

The merits and dement's OF the in
corporation Of Chevy Chase, to be de-
cided at an election Of the property
owners next Monday. were discussed
again last night at town meeting held
in the library building. The meeting
was under the auspices Of the charter
ties" to Offset the meeting held by the
special levy advocates Monday night.
Practically the same questions which
held the attention Of those attending
the Monday night meeting were dis
cussed from the standpoint Of the resi-
dents favoring the charter. A dozen
or more special levy plan hackers were
on hand, and enlivened the proceedings
by asking questions.
Tax Question Debated.
One Of the questions debated was that
of taxation. It was asserted that II
the village incorporated the taxes will
rise to such figure that further increase
in population would be reduced to a
minimum. 1t was argued by the special
levy men that added to the county tax
and the increase of cents this year
in the state taxes, will be that OF the
new municipality. which will not be In
consequential.
The special levy plan, 1t was said.
does away with the municipal tax and
expends that portion OF county taxes
collected by the Montgomery county
commissioners and allotted to Chevy
Chase.
Among those who advocated incorpora-
ton were William T. 8. Curtin, Robert
P. Shealey and Vernon Hodges. Dr.
Samuel s. Barker. c. c. Tucker and J.
H. Ralston. favoring the special levy
plan Of government, also delivered ad-
dresses.
The election to definitely settle the
matter one way or the other will be
held Monday evening in the library build
ing from 6 to 0 o'clock. It will be
conducted by William III. Griffith, Thorn
as vinson and william II. Wade OF the
board of election supervisors Of Mont
gomery county.

to be dying from heart failure. He does

forced to take to his bed and gradually
his condition has become worse. He has
been told OF the democratic gains through
out the country, but has been informed
that he has been elected by very small
margin.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MUNCIE, Ind, November 12.-Much
against his will Isaiah Duddlestone finds
himself justice of the peace for Della
ware township, and incidentally the only
justice at Albany, the second city in
Delaware county in point Of population.
Duddlestone Is a wealthy farmer and
business man, to whom the office will
only mean trouble and worry, without
adequate financial reward, and he is
sorry that he was elected but having
been chosen he will serve.
Duddlestone ran against Joseph Zehner.
democrat, in the most interesting CAM
paign that Albany ever experienced. all
other issues being Obscured by the con-
test between these two men to keep from
being elected. So today Zehner Is wear
Ing broad smiles. while Duddlestone,
elected. is in great gloom. The man
elected congratulated his opponent on the
latter's defeat. and then went into re-
tirement. Both have many interests, and
neither could afford to take the Office of
Justice. but somebody of standing in the
community had to take 1t. and SO when
1t was put up to the two as public
duty for one or the other to accept they
went on the stump, each urging the cleo
tion of the other.
Blind Tigers Flourished.
The people declared that because of a
lack of a justice in the town boot
logging was being done openly and
''blin tigers were fiourishing. although
the town had voted dry" 1t had been
the custom for the town clerk to act as
Justice. but when, few weeks ago. a
democrat was elected town clerk at a
special election, he refused to act as
petty court, saying there was nothing In
the law requiring him to do so.
Since that time II has been declared
that lawlessness has been raspant in the
town. notwithstanding the efforts of two
policemen to suppress 1t. These officers.
on making arrests, were compelled to go
down into their own pockets for expenses
for themselves and prisoners on Journeys
TO and from Muncie, the nearest place
where there was a jail and q justice,
and so the officers refused to make
arrests. This brought about the situa-
ton that forced somebody to take the
Office of justice.
Joe always was a lucky dog" was
the comment of Duddlestone after his
election. Here we turned up a republican
majority in this township and /. q re-
publican, went out and worked against
myself for Office, only to be elected any
way. l suppose Joe's talk In my favor
must have been better than mine for
him.

Day in Each Month to Be Set
Aside for School Visit.
NEW ORDER is ISSUED
Conference With Teachers Expected
to Be Helpful.
NO INTERRUPTION OF STUDY.
Conference After Glass Hours
Proposition Urged by Many
Organizations.

Mothers and fathers who believe they
could tell the teacher a thing or two
will soon have a chance to do this. Cen
eral orders have been issued from the
office Of the superintendent of schools to
establish Parents day. once q month.
The object is to get the teacher and
parent close together, SO that each can
tell the other what they know about the
child problem, and SO that there will be
close and pleasant relations between the
schools and the homes.
This matter was one OF the first to be
discussed at the first meeting Of the board
of education this year. 1t was urged by
several organizations in this city and was
strongly Endorsed by Supt. A. 7. stuart.
Conferences After School.
The time from 1 until 3:3O o'clock on
a day Of each month will be set aside for
the parents. Conferences between par
ents and teachers will be limited to the
half hour following the dismissal OF the
classes The visitors will not be allowed
to break In upon the studies Of the chill
dren.
During these conferences the welfare of
the individual child may be discussed. ~
is believed that great deal OF good Will
be the result.
This plan has been followed in the
high schools for a number OF years, ana
has been declared helpful to CHILDREN
and teacher This is the first year, how
ever. that there has been general ORDER
issued to set aside day In the gradeo
the day will be left to the supervising
principal of each division.
Chevy Chase School Association.
The first attempt at organizing a So
ciety Of parents and teachers in any
graded schools was made in the spring
of 1909. Such an organisation was start
ed at the Chevy Chase School. The So
ciety quickly grew and proved success
full from every point Of view.
The first meeting this season OF this
society, known as the Chevy Chase Home
and School Association. was held Friday
night in the school building. Besides the
election of officers, the most important
business transacted was to present plans
to serve the children of the school with
hot lunches.
It was not decided that the plan would
be feasible. committee has been ap-
pointed to look into the matter.
Another manner In which such an or
ganization can and does often help the
schools is in the presentation OF suitable
works of art with which to decorate the
building. A committee for this purpose
was also appointed.
The new addition to the building was
inspected by the members of the associa-
ton. Many works Of art which may be
obtained by the committee will probably
be used to decorate the new part of the
school.
Oficers were elected as follows: Presi-
dent, Eugene e. Stevens: first vice presi-
dent, Ralph B. Merean; second vice presi-
dent, Miss Elizabeth Dessex; treasurer.
Guy Van Camp, and secretary, Mrs.
James G.. Ord.
