DISPUTE FINALLY

Publishers Agree to Contracts

RICHMOND. VA-Snecia1-

got contracts for High School books
have failed TO send in their signed con-
tracts TO the Department Of Public In
struction, and these are expected to be
in hand when the departments opens
for business on Monday morning.
Attorney General Williams a week
so said that he had reasons TO believe
that not one OF the publishers would
hesitate to sign and return the con-
tracts and to leave the matters in dis
pute TO the courts for adjustment. 1t
seems that his premise OF the situa ito n
was correct, and the repeated state
ments that there would be no books.
that the schools would be delayed. were
premature spd lily judged.
The books are in hand. and those
which were held back because of the
negotiations have been forwarded, so
that whom the actual work of the
schools begin next week there will be
no shortage OF books.

Flour Milling to Be Taught At
State COLLEGE.

Acting partially upon the recommends
ton of the Pennsylvania Association of
Mill Owners and because course of such
nature should be beneficial to the
country at large, the trustees of the Penn
sylvania State College have installed a
new course in -four mill engineering.
Milling is one of the few large indus
tries of the country into which the
college man has entered very little. The
general custom is for young man to
learn the trade, and keep at it as learned,
except that few of the tradesmen who
have inventive genius make Improvements
now and then. but no extensive scientific
experiments are conducted 70 improve the
process both in economy of manufacture
and in perfected product.
1t is with the aim of teaching scientific
methods of milling. that this course is
given. Then, student having this
scientific knowledge can, with few
months of practical experience, qualify to
do scientific milling.
With the installation of this new course
a mill is being designed by B. w. Ded-
rick, the head of the department. which
will contain the full equipment of
machinery that is found in the most up
to-date mill, and in addition will contain
laboratories for testing the product and
method.
The course as installed is made part
of the school of engineering. which in
turn is one of the FIVE large divisions of
the college.
Pennsylvania is the first state in the
Union to install in its State College a
course in milling which will teach young
men the scientific as well as the practical
methods. and in addition be a head
quarters for scientifically conducted ex-
periments on commercial milling.

DWELLING BURNED.
Low Water Supply Causes Fire
Scare At Port Deposit.

Port Deposit had a bad FIRE scare on
Thursday afternoon of last week when
the dwelling Of James Field was burned
and there were no means to fight the
flames except bucket brigade.
Owing to the continued drouth there
was no water in the town reservoir, and
it took the steam fire engine fully As
minutes to get stream of water on the
burning building from the river. The
house was located on Water street, near
the public square, in the heart of the
town. The structure was of brick, two
and a-half story and burned rather slowly.
A bucket brigade was formed by citizens
of the town and vigorous fight made to
save surrounding property, the snow on,
the roofs of buildings assisting materially
in.preventing the spread. The dwelling
was completely destroyed. 1t was owned
by R. E. McClenahan and valued at about
$3.50. The loss is covered by insurance.
The family occupying the house is
colored. The children had been left to
themselves while the parents were at
work, and were playing with fire, one of
themN thrusting a stocking in the stove
and pulling it out again. The stocking
finally caught fire and the child threw it
in closet and closed the door. being too
frightened to say anything about it until
the flames had made such headway that
it was impossible to save the building.
