Leonard Hall Studies.

The students ofthe first year High
and the Commercial, at Leonard
Hall. participated in o spelling con
test during the month OF Novem Der,
in which many made excellent pro.
gress in the difficult art OF Othogra.
ply.
Fifteen words with their dstini-
tions was assigned for each lesson
and each student was required to
write the fifteen words and define
each. After the words were writ.
ten the student PASSED his work to
q class mate who was required To
correct the work as each member oil
the class spelled a word, in his turn.
and Riv- the correct form Uf the
word and mark it out. After the
lesson was finished the papers we're
collected and inspected by the teach
or who marked all errors against
the one whose name was signed as
the corrector OF the word. A list OF
the members Of the class is kept and
the number Of mispell. d words, If
any. for each day of the month may
be sean at any time.
This method has given a lively
interest in this here before dry sub
ject of spelling. and it has iucreas.
ed the class's percent in this sub
ject almost 100.
The following young men made
an excellent showing in the contest
which just closed and they deserve
an honorable mention
Messrs. Elliot Birch, lyman Bur-
roughs. WIN. Brooke. Harry Bowl
ing, Paul Cecil, Henry Corrigau,
Bernard Duke. Ebert Drury, VIM.
Fenwick, Bernard Good win, Kemp
Msttingly, James Mulligan. Jack
Norris and Ernest Wise.
We are glad to see an interest
shown in this important subject
which has been sadly neglected in
recent years because of the many
"fads" OF less importance. such as ma.
ture study and manual training, etc,
which are not OF the practical use in
every day lie that spe ling is.
A few yea s ago. an investigating
committee found that in New York,
the public school graduates were
very deficient 10 the spelling Of CON-
mon every day words. So we h Ips
that Leonard Hall will revive the
latent talents OF the young men OF
old St. Mary's County along this
line and that other schools will fol.
low in her wake.

Dressmaker Earns Vacation Packing
 Vegetables

From the New York Sun
 For three winters I have been mak- ing my two months holiday in Florida pay for itself,' young woman em- ployed in a dressmal<ing establishment said. 'I not only pay my expenses by packing vegetables, but come back to New York in March with snug little sum of money saved in my pocket and a good coat of tan on my cheeks.
 ''The dressmaking business in New York is practically at standstill from Christ mas to the second week in March. For two years before found out about pack ing vegetables in Florida l had to loaf for nearly two months
 For packing vegetables in Florida we receive from $150 to g. 60 day and we work six days in the week. I get a good room and three delicious meals for $15 a month.
 Last year two friends went down with me and we boarded in the same house. We were the only boarders and it was like a long picnic, and We were all working to- sether under the same packing shed be- tween meals. Instead of getting canned vegetables and small portions of them, as in New York. we had all the fresh veg etables we could eat.

STOP NURSING YOUR
 WRONGS" SAYS BAER

Pittsburg. March S0.-President George F. Baer. of the Philadelphia and Read ing railroad; Frank S. Black. former governor of New York, and J. T. Me- Cleary. secretary of the American ln- stitute. of Iron and Steel, were guests of honor at the annual dinner of the Traffic club of Pittsburg tonight. Spe- vial, trains from New York and Chicago brought many important railroad men here, among the number being nine rail- road presidents. Willis L. King, vice president of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Co, was toastmaster.
 In his address MT. Black declared he had no message that was not conveyed by every rising sun. If have any thing to say it is not so much mes- sage as a protest. l protest against that spirit of suspicion and unrest that dis torts our views and puts public hos tllity in the place of friendship. If could reach all the people on the rail- roads I would say stop the constant nursing of your wrongs, which have been proclaimed and magnfied until they are almost national lanentation Change these lonesome songs sor national beau titudes. If that change could start and move along, the business of the coun- try would spring to its feet and confi- dence and union with their tremendous bowers would set the tide toward national prosperity and peace''

THE DOVE OF PEACE STILL FLUTTER|NG Insurrect0s Still Buying Ammunition and Arms FIGHTING CONTINUES Woman Fights in Ranks of the Insur- rectOs - Ojinaga Is Still
 Beseiged by Jose
 Sanchez

Fl Paso, Texas, March 30-The dove Of Mexican peace may be lowering over tine border but the sale of ammunition and brisk as when the insurgents were en- camped across from Fl Paso.
 The sales are not made in quantities but the retail trade In rifles and ammuni- ton at the local hardware and arms stores continues active the dealers say.
 Whether one of the Maderos is com
 ing here to talk peace is not certain. Gonzales Garza, provisional secretary of state declared that Francisco I. Madero, Sr, has nothing to do with the war and that his coming here would not neces- sarily mean a peace conference. Fran cisco I. Madero and the men in the field are the only persons who can set tie the war, he said.
 Whether he will come here is not known but some of his staff officers have been dropping in, giving color to reports that Madero himself will soon arrive. This is considered improbable un-
 less by agreement with the United States, for warrant is out in Fl Paso for his arrest on a charge of melting n revolutionary against a friendly nation.
 Madero and Orozco are both west of Chihuahua. This is officially given out by El Paso junta.
 If reports that Madero has ordered the fighting to cease until negotiations are concluded are true. his messengers eith- CT have not received the instructions or his orders have been dsregarded. There ~lxt l..., hua and also at tres.
 Rebels are still active south of Chihua- hua. Many more bridges have been blown up on the International line from Durango to Torreon and the insurrectos refuse to allow repairs to be made. Repairs on the Mexican Northwestern between Pearson and Juarez are almos, completed.
 Dynamite has been received at Valar- dena by the American Smelling and Re- fining company and other shipments have been sent to tho Serro Madra mines in Durango. This will keep the large force of men at work at these places.
 The list of American prisoners captur- cd at Casas Grandes, March 16 was re- ceived here today from Colonel Garcia Cuellar in response to a message of in quiry from the Associated Press. Simultaneously with the receipt of the message from Cuellar came official con- firmaton of the report that a woman fought in the ranks with the insurrec- tos. She was Mrs. Patro Cino Vasquez and she is among the native prisoners. A telegram to the Herald from Maria. Texas. says mail advices from Presidio state that Ojinaga was still held Wednes- day by the federals with Jose De La Cruz Sanchez and his insurrectos beseig- ing the place. This siege has lasted all most two weeks

Runors Floating Around
 Unsigned Commission Bill

Montgomery, March S0.-(special)- the legislature been in session today the Birmingham commission government bill would have become a law at midnight tonight had 1t not been vetoed by the governor. By reason of the fact that the legislature was not in session the governor is granted under the consti- tutlon two legislative days more in which to take action on the measure. Should the legislature be in session on Satur- day the governor will either have to make some report on the bill or else allow it to become a law without his signature.
 So far as can be learned the governor has not yet taken any action on the bill. Whether he intends to approve the measure or send it back to the two houses for additional amendments can- not be ascertained. Today Chief of Po- lice Bodeker of Birmingham indicated a

 But here's something I've always mo- ticed. See that gaunt, awkward girl standing beside her? Girls always get some ugly person to show them off py contrast. Look at the big red hands of the second one. Amt it fierce? Who ia that fright, anyhow?'
 That's Miss Bookings older sister. She washes and irons Miss Blookings' party gowns for her.'

wish to have the bill further amend ed. It is understood that this amend ment relates to the pensioning of police officers grown old in service.
 Practically nothing can be learned from the governors office in reference to the bill. The governor may contemplate sending the measure back for other amendments. though he has not indi- cated to any member of the Birming- ham delegation an intention to this ef- feet. Tonight there were certain ru- mors to the effect that the governor might veto the Birmingham commission bill. though none of these could be traced to their source. The executives delay in acting upon the bill is not be- lieved to meet the approval of the Bir- mngham delegation and Is probably re- sponsible for the rumor that the gov crnor might not sign the measure.
 While this rumor was circulated, lit- tie credence was given to the report, and the general impression prevails that the governor will approve the measure.
