Gas City Women and Principal
Charged With Assault on Boy.

lola, Kan, Dec. 16.-T. E. Osborn, SUI
perintendent of the Gas City public
schools, and Miss Susie Austin and
Miss Rose Corns, teachers there. were
arrested Monday on a charge of assault
in connection with the punishment said
to have been inflicted upon Ray Miller,
a II year old pupil.
The case is an outgrowth Of the in
cident of a few days ago, when. upon
the father Of the Miller boy complain
ing to the county attorney that Miss
Austin had flogged Ray with a piece of
rubber tubing, that official exercised
the recall in the school room, asking
the pupils to vote in favor Of or against
the removal Of the teacher. The three
teachers gave bonds of $500 each for
their appearance at their trial. set for
January IL.
In the warrant, Miss Austin is
charged with the actual assault, while.
it is alleged, Miss Corns contributed by
holding young Miller. Superintendent
Osborn is held accountable for alleged
severity in Miller's case because it is
asserted the infliction of corporal pun
ishment in Kansas schools should be
given under the direction of the SUI
perintendent.

Leavenworth. Kan, Dec. 16.-The

Colonel John Bfddle Porter. an in

Boxer rebellion in China returned to
Manila" said Colonel Porter, "they
brought with them a social organiza-
ton known as the Order of the Drag

the enjoyment they got from it prob
ably made those who remained behind
to hold the rebellious Filipinos in
check somewhat envious. As a re-
suit, a number of the Philippine off,

nothing less majestic than a Miltonic
war of the heavenly hosts.
1t has been said that Princes street
Of Edinburgh Is the most impressive
In Europe, and If any such assertion
Is to be accepted it owes it's truth not
so much. to the highway itself and its
buildings and monuments as to the
amazing topography OF Edinburgh,
some of whose noblest features lend q
sort of awful dignity and splendor to
Princes street. The marvellous view
of the castle and its slopes would
alone give Princes street the highest
distinction, and the castle and it's
steep constitute only one of several
noble eminences within view. The
broad gardens, too, are rich and love-
ly, and there are fine old historic
structures along the highway, while
the Scott Memorial really does not
look like a church engulfed by an
earthquake with it's steeple still above
ground. AS a matter Of fact the
monument, with that amiable and
studious seated statue of Sir Walter
set within, Is a dignified and beauti-
full thing, even though 1t has to vie
with the austere and awful steep
crowned with the vast and wandering
pile of Edinburgh castle.

BUILDING UP A CITYS PARKS
Expert Sets Forth Some Sound Prln-
cipIes Which II Will BE Profit
able to Observe.

There are a few principles In the
selection of lands for parks, parkways
and Fairgrounds which are finding In
creasing acceptance by city authori-
ties. Briefly stated, they are as fol
lows: % To acquire those easily &C
cessible small tracts in different parts
of a city which may most cheaply be
adapted to serve as local Fairgrounds
or recreation centers; (2) to seek also
some moderately large tracts, even
though less accessible for the present
generation, provided they are capable
of conversion at relatively small cost
into park which will have the beauty
of natural scenery; CD to acquire
property for large parks In advance
of a general settlement of the neigh
borhood; (4) to select generally,
though not always, lands which are
not well adapted for streets and build
ings: ID to distribute the lands over
the city In such way as to give the
maximum of use % the people who
will be called upon to pay for their
acquisition, development and main
tenance.
These five common-sense principles
have been approved and followed by
the leading landscape architects"
says John Nolan in his report on New
London.

CITIES NEED MORE SUNLIGHT
French Architect Urges Far-Reaching
Reform In Street Planning
for the Future.

Far-reaching reform in city plan
ming as a primary factor in the battle
against tuberculosis was demanded
by the architect, Augusttn Rey, in an
address made before the French So
ciety of Civil Engineers.
According to al. Rey, cities of the
future must be so constructed that
the direction of all the streets shall
correspond to the suns daily course
In the heavens In order that the in
habitants may receive the maximum
OF light, which is the greatest mi
crobe killer In existence.
The task of architects, he says, will
be to plan towns In such way that
every nook and corner shall receive
its share of the suns rays for the
greatest possible number of hours
daily. On this account he insists
that the present system of small
apartments will have to go, and their
places be taken by smaller and more
airy dwellings.
He concludes by saying that the
present nickname of Paris, che City
OF Light" should be that of all towns
which care for the health of their
inhabitants.

One meets on the Old North bridge,

Problems of CITY BuyJdino.

"One OF the problems in modern
city building is to allow proper space
on the sidewalks for shade trees" said
Henry r. Deacon Of Detroit, Mich, at
the Hotel Stafford. Every country in
the world is advocating the planting
of shade trees In cities. Many of the
modern cities that are being built
special attention Is being given to the
shade tree problem, The United States
government has taken up the matter
and Is making close study OF con-
ditions that exist In other countries.
Some cities pave close up. and by
thus cutting OF the natural Gurface
water supply contribute to the early
death of the tree Others have an un-
paved circular space around the tree
which Is often dangerous for pedestn-
ans. and Is unsightly. There is a city
in Belgium that solves the problem By
leaving space of two feet all around
the tree and paving up smoothly to a
flush iron ring, having a recess inside
to receive a sectional removable iron
grating flush with the sidewalk. This
makes a neat walk and saves the
tree"

Live Stock Exposition
Editor, the Leader:

EdltOr, the Leader.
1t has been stated that the fundamen-
tai cause of the decay Of nations was not
war nor pestilence so much as decline
in soil fertility.
You, as one of this cOuntry's journa-
lists, whose success is so closely coupled
with agriculture, naturally recognize
this fact more clearly than the average
citizen, and ! therefore feel free t. soil
cit your continued support in dissemln-
ating facts concerning an educational
exposition, whose sole aim is the dPvel-
opment Of an industry without which
there cen be no successful agriculture.
In addition to the above, permit me to
call attention 70 the fact that many
farmers still produce types Of animals
not best suited to the demands OF the
market. and as the annual loss to every
community from this source is enormous
it is earnestly hoped that yOn will help
us 0bviate this by urging the farmers of
your section to attend the international
Live Stock exposition to be held at Union
stock yards, Chicago, November 18th TO
December 9Th. 1913, where the correct
types are illustrated in a manner no
where else to be found, and in way
that must indelibly impress itself upon
the minds OF the visitors.
Yours very truly.

BIG CLOCK WITHOUT HANDS
Hours, Minutes and Seconds Are In
dicated by Arrangement of Multi
coIored Electric Bulbs.

One of the largest electric clocks in
existence has just been exhibited. 1t
is marvel of beauty and workman
ship. The pendulum weighs over 5000
pounds. The clock contains 5,485
multicoiored electric bulbs, for which
1000 connections were necessary
and over mile of wire. In making
the connections 40 pounds of special
screws were required. The dial, al
though it indicates hours, minutes,
and seconds, has no hands.
The time in minutes is indicated
by 60 series of lights, each series con-
tanning 80 globe-covered bulbs, radiat-
ing from an ornamental centerpiece
to the outer edge of the dial. Short
dictate the hour, and these change
their different position IL times DUR
ing each so minutes, or once every
five minutes. The seconds are shown
by 60 lights placed at equal distances
around the extreme outer edge of the
face.
The hour figures are three feet high,
outlined in colored lights Each Sec
ond the illumination in the outer cir
Gle of light moves forward one bulb,
and when the dial has been entirely
circled the lights indicating the min
utes also advance, and the hour hand,
