That was In 1907, and she has been
trying ever since to get Judgment.
At first a compromise of $4,000 was

There was time when a cheek suit
was only affected by the yeis-s very
crusty. However. of late the timid
ones, seeing so many about. have
taken heart and helped to swell the
already too plenteous swarm.
The present state of affairs is quite
serious. Perhaps 1t is result of the
cubist movement, although that's
neither here nor there. However,
statisticians have computed that If
all the check suits in use right now,

ing those at the cleaners, yes, they

There is an average of 423,SSS checks

mated that if all the checks in all

NATIONS
COMPLAINTS MET
DlfferentiaI on imports in
American Vessels Dropped
From Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON May Ex-senator
Simmons chairman of the finance
committee, definitely announced after
a conference with President Wilson
today that the proposed 5 per cent.
differential on imports in American
owned or controlled vessels would be
dropped from the tariff bill in the
Senate OF account OF protests from
foreign nations.
Senator Simmons also declared that
objections of foreign nations to the
clause to compel foreign merchants
to submit their books to an American
agent in cases of disputed valuation
would be met. In both cases the
state department holds that protests
are justified. The President upheld
that view.
Chairman Simmons also took up
with the President questions OF
equalization of duties on raw mate
rails and manufactured products.
among them wheat, flour and pig
iron. Mr.. Simmons declined = to dis
cuss the Presidents views on those
points. saying no decision had been
reached. but that he had sought Mr..
Wilson's ideas and would transmit
them to members of the finance COM
mittee. ~
Chairman Underwood of the House
ways and means committed. when
asked about the probable action OF
the House should the tariff bill come
back with an amendment to eliminate
the per cent. clause, said that per-
sonally he favored the retention of
the provision as one of the ways OF
building up merchant marine.
Senators on the ub-comnittee of
the finance committee working on
the cotton schedule of the Underwood
bill are said to be ready to recon-
mend some increases in the public
rates.

not to be sneezed at. Although 1t
wouldn't be a good idea to sneeze at
them, anyway. because. as we said
before, they spot very easily.
The alarming feature of this check
suit menace is the fact that to gaze
at checks or squares of any sort has
an unfortunate effect on the optic
nerve. The eye after regarding a
checked pattern for q continued
while shows a disposition to see the
angular in everything. The reader
can satisfy himself on this point by
enclosing himself in room papered
with a check wall paper for period
of a week or so and then going out
and looking at COW. He will be
surprised to note that the COW looks
angular especially around the hips
OF course, some cows look that way,
anyway This experiment may also
be demonstrated successfully with a
horse. particularly one that hasn't
been fed for long time.
Legislation must soon be put under
way to make the wearing of check
suits in Jersey a federal, State, Fcivic
and criminal offense. The thing
should really be check--Oh.-stopped.
For If it isn't the redundance of
checkered garniture will surely make
cubists of us all.

ALL-YEAR SESSIONS FOR
TWO GRAMMAR SCHOOLS

During the early part of next month
the Board of Education will distribute
circulars to parents in different sec
tions OF the city informing them
that all-year schools will be main
tanned at the Belmont Avenue and
Seventh Avenue public schools The
circulars are printed in English and
Hebrew.
The schools will be open for forty
eight weeks instead of forty weeks.
The school year will be divided into
four quarters of twelve weeks each.
The summer quarter will begin June
/ and will close August %. A vaca-
ton of two weeks will follow before
the opening OF the regular school
term.
The board argues that since both
schools are light and airy they are
more desirable places for the child
rem than the hot and dusty streets
during the summer months.

new SCHOOL FOR
THEIR GRADUATION
Normal Graduates TO Get Di-

ing June 10.

The formal opening of the new Nor
NAL School, located at Belleville and
Fourth avenues, will be held on June
Is. as the committee on instruction of
the Board of Education decided last
night. This celebration will be held
simultaneously with the commence
ment exercises OF. the graduates OF
the old Normal School, marking the
first time. when graduates of that
school will be enabled to hold their
commencement within Ntheir own IN
stitution
Heretofore this ceremony has al
ways been held in one of the other
school auditoriums. The motion to
combine the two celebrations was
made by Commissioner Charles p.
Taylor and a special committee con-
sisting of Mr.. Taylor, Acting City
superintendent David B. Corson and
Commissioner Brown, chairman OF
the committee, will arrange pro-
gram BETTING the occasion.
On recommendation Of Principal
William Wiener. of the Central Com
mercial High School, the COMMITTEES
decided to open a day class in Span

Furthermore acted favorably on the
recommendation of Mr.. Wiener to
make J. Earl Griffith head of the art
department
Permission was given Principal nj
L. Cox, of the Thirteenth Avenue
school, instead of holding commence.
ment exercises to take the graduates
on trip up the Hudson to Wes'
Point. Commissioner Brown was sat.
isfied that such a trip was of al
educational value and the members
unanimously approved of the step.
similar trip had been undertaken II
that school a year before and proved
a success, 1t was stated.
Two complaints concerning the dis
parity of salaries between male and
female teachers, to the disadvantage
of the latter, we're received. One
came from the female teachers of the
high schools and one from the Essex
County Teachers Guild. The letters
were ordered filed and the writer's are
to be notified that, the budget hav-
ing been made up, nothing could be
done this year.
The Public Welfare Committee was
given permission, asked for in the
letter, to open consultation stations
for mothers in public schools after
school hours.
