Several new rules regarding exemp-
tions have been passed by the school
board.
OF tardy during. the school year can
not be exempt in any study unless a
written certificate from a physician
shows that the absence or hardness
was due to illness. The second is that
to be exempt in any study during the
quarter the pupil must have a depOrt-
ment grade OF so or above.
The third requirement IS that the
90 percent must be made in music and
drawing, manual training and domestic
on account Ct the good department
Of the High school pupils, the excellent
singing. drawing and the good grades

Ohio Executive Taken in Charge By
Local Democratic Luminaries-
Reception in Mayors Office.

Gov. Judson Harmon, OF Ohio, ac-
companied by several suitcases and
a bundle Of golf sticks, arrived in
Detroit at 7:15 a. m, Tuesday, for
the purpose OF delivering q Fourth
OF July oration under the auspices
OF the civic associations In the north
western part OF the city.
The governor was met at the Mich
igan Central station by the following
citizens Mayor William B. Thomp-
son. Judge VIM. F. Connolly, Attor-
ney Edwin Henderson, Attorney
Frank d. Eaman, State Senator
James Lee, Walter o. Briggs; Arthur

Munro and A. X. Sweet The COVER
nor was taken for spin In an auto
mobile prior to going to the Hotel
Pontchartrain for breakfast.
Gov. Harmon, a man OF rugged ap-
pearance, healthy complexion, bright
eyes and apparently the very soul of
courtesy, greeted the reporters with
a broad smile and hearty handshake.
The reception led the newspaper men
to believe they were going to get a
good political interview, but they
were doomed to disappointment. The
governor even intimated that he was
willing to talk, but the scribes soon
found out that he was not going to
talk shop" at all.
Now, what would you like me to
talk about?" the governor asked good
naturedly.
Reciprocity, for one thing" the
governor was told.
No." he said, I'm sorry, boys,
but / don't want to talk about poll
tics at all. I'm on my way to Charlie
voix, for a summer vacation, and
don't want to even think about poll
tics. My family IL up there now and
/ am trying to get there as fast as I
can. shall stay there most OF the
summer. have q cottage up there
the only summer home ever
owned.
'Td be at Charlevoix now but for
the fact that was invited to to come
to Detroit to speak. feel as though
am under obligations TO Detroit and
Michigan, for ! used to live In the
state. Anyway, could not very well
refuse an invitation to make Fourth
OF July address. But the address is
not political In any way-just littlo
talk on patriotism.
The governor held a public recep-
ton In the mayors office from 10 to
IL a. m. He was introduced to Mil
ton A. McRae, president OF the Board
Of Commerce, an intimate friend.
Mayor Thompson was unable to be
present, having been billed to accom-
pany Superintendent Martindale, OF
the public schools, to the summer
Fairgrounds, where the children were
having Fourth 7@of- July celebrations.
Many took advantage OF the oppor.
tunity Of meeting the Ohio execur
tive.

SHE IS TRAIN DISPATCHER
ON THE BOSTON & MAINE r. r.
Also Has Charge Of All the Engines
Used on Northern Division Of
the Bio System.

BOSTON, July 4.-The unusual dis
tinction OF being the only woman to
handle train sin this country belongs
to Mrs. Jennie Connor, Of Molrose
Highlands. a suburb of Boston. She IL
employed by the Boston and Maine
and IL well known to thousands of
railroad employees throughout the four
states In which the road operates.
Not only Is she good train dis
patcher, but she also knows the com
plete construction Of the locomotives
In use today. II Is believed by the
four hundred and more engineers who
report to her 6at she knows more
about the construction of the big en-.
gines than do most OF the men who
assisted In their construction.
Mrs. Connor has charge OF all the
engines used on the northern division
of the road. and this has led her to
take up the study OF the moguls, with
result, that has been amazing.
Mrs. Connor believes that work sor
women Is a great preventive for di.
vorce and nervous prostration.
