inches. Use a medium or a good
quality of paper. Nc special
brand ia recommended. The or
binary tablet is very unsatis-
factory. 1t is not necessary to
have any printing on the paper
If any printing is used on the
paper, only blanks for the number
of the applicant, the name OF the
county, the date, and the name of
the subject, should appear. The
name of the county and the date
will be regarded as a part of the
number.
In regard to handling the
papers: The law requires that all
papers of first grade applicants be
sent to the State Superintendent.
Applicants for second and third
may have their paper graded by
the County Superintendent or by
the State Superintendent. The
applicant must take his choice at
the time of the examination. He
must send all his papers at any
one examination to the State SUI
perintendent or none, thai is, part
of the same applicants papers
written in March can not be
graded by the State Superin.
tendent, and part by the County
Superintendent.
The papers cannot be graded by
the County Superintendent and
then sent to the State Superin-
tendent, they must be sent at
once.
Since grades on a third grade
certificate are valid for one year
only, it is in most cases of no ad-
vantage for applicants for third
grade certificates to send their
papers to the State Superinten-
dent.
In the case of second grade ap-
plicants, if the papers are read by
the State Superintendent, the
grades may be transferred later
to a first grade certificate, and are
also valid in any county in the
state. Since low grades on file in
the State Department are of little
value to any one, and since each
applicant has three chances at
grades, | venture to suggest the
following as u good plan for
second grade applicants: Have
all March papers graded in the
county, and in June mark only
those subjects on which good
grades r expected and send all
papers to the State Superinten-
dent, and finish in August having
papers graded in the county,
This is only one of the many pos
sibilities under the new law.
Give the applicant the freedom OF
choice,
The one fee of So gives the ap-
plicaut the privilege OF writing at
any or all three examinations In
one year. He may write on the.
same subject in March, June and
August and must be given the
highest grade on each subject
made in these examinations. 1t
is unwise for any applicant to try
to write all the subjects at any one
examination. Hence, it is best
for applicants to begin in March;
write a few good papers, and then
complete the work on other sub.
jects at later examinations. While
applicants have the privilege of
writing 8 subject three times it is
usually best not to do 80. One
good carefully written paper is
better than two or three poor
ones.
Issue a statement of grades to
applicant as soon as, you have
graded the papers. l advise that
applicants do not ask for their
certificates to be issued until after
they have taken all the examina-
tons that they expect to take DUR
ing the year. They may take ex-
animation in the same year after
a certificate is issued without the

MOTOR CAR TOPPLES OVER BEREAVEMENT
 DRIVER NOT HURT
Charles w. Hewitt, Wealthy New Yorker, Has Narrow
 Escape In Wilton
] Especial. to The Farmer.)

westport, July 26.-Skidding over an sembankment near Wilton this morning a. big, Packard limuousine owned by Charles W. Hewitt, a veal thy New Yorker, turned completely over and finally rested in sand bank. Mir Hewitt, who has handsome sum : mer residence at Wilton, was the driver and was the only passenger at the time of the accident.
 Strange to say he was not hurt. Except for the shock and the mild shaking up which such a fall would cause, the owner of the car, was un : injured. People near by who saw the car go over the embankment rushed to the scene expecting to see the drivers mangled remains. They were greatly relieved to find the ma chine right side up and MT. Hewitt able to be on his feet.
 7 The car, was examined and it was found that with thet exception of some broken springs nothing else was dam ageds. Workmen, from a ,. Westport garage hauled. the car back to the road. ,ME. Hewitt says the machine shidded as it was rounding a curve and caused the accident.

 Attack on Young Italian

Talking vaguely of the workings of the "black hand" society, and theR when pressed by the police for more definite information becoming gtrange- Iy silent, Antonio De Stefano, 104 Bank street, employed at the Arcade bowling alleys, bears frightful gash in his left cheek that will m4riz him for life, the result, he says, of an un- warranted attack upon him py one Angelo Caiaro. a gun Hghter. Eith a jail record.
 De Stefafo walked into the Police & Charities building at II o'clock this morning, his face streaming and his garments covered with blood. He pressed a bloody handkerchief against the gash in his left cheek.
 When pr. Pratt had washed out the wound, and dressed the injury, he took the victim across the corridor from the emergency hospital to the police side and turned the victim over to Captain Began.
 De Stefano said he was attacked in the woods by Angelo Chiaro. In broken English-he is of Italian birth he explained that two days ago Chiaro came here from New York They had become acquainted several months ago when Chiaro was visiting friends in Lexington avenue, this city. Then Chiaro went to New York, and Qu SOJ a JdlA ScubCuC6 OL five months.
 He returned here early this week, said Antonio, and this morning called around at his boarding place in Bank street and invited him to walk out into the woods. Thinking the visitor planned a friendly outing he unsus- pectingly accepted the invitation.
 They went out Oak street, and en- tered strip of woods on the out skirts of the city, when Angelo, with a show of unusual friendship. took him by the arm. They walked along in this fashion for some time, said Antonio,s when suddenly without warning, his companion smote him. on the left cheek with the keen blade of stiIetto. Before the frightened Antonio could raise his hands, Angelo had fled,
 The police took Antonio in tow and went with him to several places where he said Angelo. might be found but Chiaro had vanished.
 The authorities are not satisfied that De Stefano has told them a1I that transpired between the pair They say that it is apparent Cfiaro had no intention of fatally. woundfng his companion but merely wanted, to inflict wound that would leave an ugly scar. He succeeded admirably.

 The police are searching for J. Sher- man Gray, 35, who is nearly six feet tall and weighs over 200 pounds. Gray is a farmland. He was once arrested for stealing wornen's apparel from farmhouses. Following his conviction he was declared insane and sent te the Maine State Asylum for a year He was discharged March 20, 1908 Since that time he has been employed .on several farms. A score of men who were in the store where Naomi was last seen alive, said today that Gray was lounging on the steps o1 the store when Naomi left with her parcels of provisions and that, after she had gone half as mile down the road, he left in. the same direction.
 Gray's mother, Mrs. Frank E. Ste- vens, who was married a second time, told a United Press correspondent to- day that for the past week her son has been n1orose and sullen and that ternoon sharpening a large jackknife on the back doorstep of his home.

 My son has been sullen and morose for a week. said Mrs. Stevens today, t'and I feared he would have one of his outbreaks which have become fre- quent of late.

I intend doing everything in my power to help find my son, but beg that he be sent to some institution. for he is plainly not mentally accountable.
 Mrs Mitchell has not been told of the terrible affair for fear of the eff feet it will have in her present con- dition. but she has continually asked for the child and plainly suspects something wrong.
