SWIFTEST GLOBE GlRDLER

The latest globe-trotter and the
swiftest who has ever sought to girdle
the world against time, Andre lager
Schmidt, wound up his trip in Paris
with q 'round-the-world record in 80
days and Is hours.
Jager-Schmidt Is a newspaper man
and one day was foolhardy enough to
tell the editor-in-chief of his paper
that the world could be girdled in 40
days. "Then go and do it," said the
chief.
The young newspaper man made
preparations for his 'round-the-world
tour and completed his trip in less
than 40 days. He landed at Cher
bourg, France, and at once entered
waiting aeroplane and flew to the
French metropolis. Among the noted
cities he has visited are Moscow,
Omsk, Irkutsk, Hardin, Valdivostok.
Montreal and New York.
After first leaving Paris he did not
sleep in stationary bed with the ex
ception of a few hours in Montreal
and one night in New York. That W;

EDUCATOR WHO WAS OUSTED

Although only two months had
elapsed since his first wife committed
suicide, Prof. Charles w. Minard,
principal of the Marquette school in
Chicago, was secretly remarked to
Mrs. Bessie Belenger, and the couple
are now living on a Wisconsin farm
belonging to the much-discussed school
principal.
Minard has been formally suspend
ed by the board Of education. He was
first called before the committee early
in June, following the death of his
wife, Mrs. Matte r. Minard, who
committed suicide June 1, during an
unexplained absence of her husband.
At that time the schoolmaster made
an explanation and was retained in
his position.
Among his associates, the school
principal had reputation for domes-
tic perfection. His personal habits
were described as ideal. He was
never known to smoke, drink or
gamble. From the outside, the life
