of schools is reported by the United
States Bureau of Education. In his
survey of the educational legislation
for the year Mr.. j. C. Boykin de-
elares:
THE Importance of the office con
stantly increases. New duties and
responsibilities are steadily added
and larger salaries are offered to at
tract and hold men of the caliber 10

name the head of the State ednca :

Although the tendency to increase
the power and responsibility of the
State superintendent is very strong,
salary inducements have not always
kept pace with the requirements, ac-
eerding to the report. 1t Is still I'M
fortunately true" says Mr.. Boykin,
that in many cases the sHperinten-
dents of the large cities and the heads
of all the important institutions in a
State receive considerably higher sal
aries and have far more certain ten
ure than the man who is nominally
their official superior"
nobiy. Despite the Republican slogan
of economy, the salary of the state

from $500 to $4,000 annually by the last
LEGISLATURE With this progress, ac-
cording to the amendatory act, goes

Governor and Council may deem ne
esssary.'
TT was an entirely commendable pro-
cedure and met with no opposition.
Other states have watched our system
closely in the past few years, and
have marveled at the ability and en-
ergy displayed by the man at its head.
The situation reached a crisis of great
significance to the State, early in the
year, when Mr.. Smith, though 10th to
surrender his constructive program
here, felt obliged to consider fiattering
offers from other territory.
Quick action by the Legislature
alone saved him to us.
The tendency everywhere is in the
direction of increasing the dignity, re-
sponsibility and salary of state super
intendents. Legislation from many
parts of the country furnish instances
in point.
{ The commissioner of education in
Massachusetts was authorized to APP

probably had already the power given
him by this law, but it is now definite
and specific, and the additional help
given him will enable him to perform
his duties in an effective manner not
possible hitherto.

Hon. James Edward Dunning,
Bangor man by birth, engaged IN
newspaper work there for time and
in Portland four years, from 1901 to
1905, is serving his country effective
Nv abroad in a sphere of activity which
has proven altogether eongenial and
even fascinating. Ambitious newspaper
men who study his promotions to a
broader field and his advancement
therein will be encouraged TO realze
that their experiences are as a fitting
school for positions of honor and re-
sponsbility in other lines of human
endeavor. He made the step from an
editors chair to a consulate In Italy
and is filling the new station to when
he has attained in the same degree as
characterized his work with the pen.
Mr.. Dunning is not yet 40, so his ca
reer may be said to have just begun,
He engaged in newspaper work mn
mediately upon the completion of ms
education first on the staff OF the
Bangor Commercial, where he served
as city editor in 1s95-1901. He was
managing editor of the Brockton
Times, and came to this city as edi-
tor and part owner of the Evening Ad-
vertiser late in 1901, and he remained
here four years. Mr.. Cunning was
appointed consul at Milan, Italy, April
H. 1906. and assumed the duties at that
post in the following summer, and re
manned there four years when he was
transferred TO HaYre Mr.. Dunning Is
now inspector general in the American
consular corps, and his jurisdiction

SWISS GUARDS IN ARMoR.

The Pope's Swiss guards parade
in full uniform only once a year,
when they renew their oath of fealty
to the Pope and solemnly swear b
shed their blood for the church if
necessary. The object of the parade,
however, is twofold, as the command
er of the Swiss guard, Col. Repond,
originally member of the Swiss
army, wants his men not to lose the
habit of wearing armor, and at the
same time to see for himself whether
the armor is well kept and furnished.
Once year, generally early in the
morning, the silent courtyards Of the
Vatican are broken by the roll Of
drums, and the clang of steel as 120
men, the only ones in the world. who
still wear steel, march to parade, the
officers in corslets, the privatss In
morions, with plumed steel helmsnts
and eight-foot halberds and basketil-
ted swords. A warrant officer holds
the flag on high, and while the men
are drawn in line and the officers
with drawn swords stand facing them,

MENTAL CLINIC" AT CONGRESS

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-A mental
clinic" in active operation for the
purpose of testing school children and
classifying them as mentally alert,
dull or idiotic, will be one of the novel
features open to visitors attending
the fourth international congress on
school hygiene, according to an an
nouncement made today by DR.. Thom-
as A. Storey, of the College Of the
City of New York, and secretary-gen-
eral of the congress.
The "mental clinic" will be in op-
Grafton the entire week of the con-
cress from Aug. 25 to Aug. 30, and
will be for the purpose Of demon
s.rating to educators and public health
officials just how easy it is for money
and time to be wasted by keeping
"dulr school children in the same
classes with their mental superiors OF
pupils who are mentally normal. The
clinic will be conducted under the su-
pervision of DIR. J. f. w. Wallin, d.
rector of the psychological clinic al
the University of Pittsburg.
DR.. Wallin contends that large
number of methods of testing school
children to determine how fast they
should be advanced now used by
teachers, are altogether incompetent
as means of securing proper re.
seults. His mental clinic is according.
ly expected to prove not only an in
tercsting novelty in the way of an ex
hibit, but also an instructive lessor
for all educators and educational off
school conditions in their respective
localities

tuberculosis. l predict that ten years
from now it will be a disgrace for a
physician to allow case to develop
among his clients"
Sunlight and fresh air, according to
DR.. Gibson, are important, but they
alone will never effect a complete
cure. They will give relief and in
some cases strengthen the lungs and
the system sufficiently to fight off the
ravages of the disease for years, but
they do not cure and prevent parents
afflicted from passing the disease on
to future generations.
"The application of this new method
of treating pulmonary tuberculosis
shall not rest with the city or county
or state" said DIR. Gibson. 'It will
not even rest solely with tuberculosis
specialists. It's benefit is to come
when the family physician gets the
idea and equips himself to carry it
out. The same doctor who has al
ways attended the family is the one
with whom the treatment will rest"
Out of 400 cases in all stages, from
incipient to the most advanced, which
have been treated by DIR. Gibson or
under his supervision, S5 per cent,
he says, were sufficiently benefited to
be able to continue their work and
no. succumb to the disease.
The comments of physicians over
the country, who have become IA
miliar with Dr. Gibson's treatment
have, with few exceptions, been to the
effect that it is an original and bene-
fetal one. The unfavorable COM
ments, DIR. Gibson believes, have come
from physicians who have not fully
understood his plan OF treatment.

SCO[ORADO SUGAR
FACTORIES T0C[0S[
GREAT WESTERN SUGAR COMPANY WILL CLOSE ALI
But ONE OF ITS COLORADO PlANTS---FARMFRS
MUST STAND A REDUCTION OF 50 CENTS
United Press

United Press
DENVER, Aug. 20.-The Express
last night quotes Director Charles
Boettcher, of the Great Western Sugar
company of saying:
"As soon as the Wilson tariff bill
passes, including a 35 cent sugar re-
duction, the company will be forced
to close eight of its nine Colorado
beet sugar factories"
When asked his opinion concerning
the raisers of sugar beets, he said,
at is my opinion that the farmers will
have to stand cut probably exceed
ing so cents a ton. The company will
lose 81 1-2 cents a ton in 1914, and
the farmers will be lucky if they are
not required to stand loss of exceed
ing so cents.
When asked if the company would
dismantle the eight factories that
were not to be used, he replied, ''No;
fools will not be in office forever

CLOSING ARGUMENTS
HEARD IN DIGGSCAS
United Press


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2O.-Pros-
ecutor Roche, said in addressing the
Diggs jury, "The gist of Digg's tes-
timony shows that he and Caminetti
intended to take the two girls to
Reno in order to escape being prose-
cuted, and then return TO the shelter
of their own homes, rejoining their
abandoned wives and children, while
the girl victims were left to sink
into the depths of shame"
The concensus Of opinion is that
Diggs testimony injured instead of
helping him. His story of his rela-
tions with Miss Warrington in his own
wife's bedroom, evidently shocked the
jurors.
The case will go to the jury to-
night.
Prosecutor Roche today asserted
that Diggs' method of coercing Miss
Warrington consisted Of promises OF
marriage. Roche said: "An ordinary
defense is based on innocence. Diggs
is based on depravity. 1t is remark
able"
DiRgs' wife and child sat beside
and encouraged him during the prose
cutting attorneys bitter speech.

HOW TO MAKE MILLIONS
FROM A THOUSAND DOLLARS

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 2O.-For
the relief and care of dumb animals
$50, 900; gift to the icty of Evans
vile, Ind, $2O,OO0,OO0.
These two gifts, made by Adolph
Melzer, wealthy Indianan, will be
available in the year 2133 A. d. They
are the strangest gifts ever made to
an Indiana city. The $20,O00,000 for
the care and relief of dumb animals
will be the principal and accured COM
pound interest on sum of $4,000
which has been deposited in local
bank by Melzer, and which will have
grown to that amount in 210 years
from today. The S20,000,00 which
Evansville will get, will be the prin-
ciple and accrued compound interest
on $1,000 deposited by Melzer and
available in $50 years.
Melzer's scheme in both cases is
that the funds shall be allowed to
stay in one bank for eighteen years
or until the original deposit doubles
itself. The total then will be divided
into two equal units and redeposited
in different banks until they in turn
are doubled, and so on. By the time
the "dumb animal fund is taken out
finally it will be deposited in 2,048
banks.
Realizing possible future changes
in monetary conditions may occur,
Melzer's contract makes it possible
for the bank, state or city to with
draw from the agreement on sixty
days notice, in which case the money
is to be redeposited in any banking
institution with 100000 or more cap
ital at the best rate of interest OBJ

TUBERCULOSIS TO BE
ELIMINATED IN TEN YEARS

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 20.-"It will
be possible in ten years to elimi-
ncte tuberculosis of the lungs"
This statement, made by DR.. JEFF
ferson D.. Gibson, pulmonary tuber-
culosis specialist of Denver, and orig
inator of plan by which the dread
disease which kills more persons than
any other malady, can be stayed, has
resulted in appeals from thousands all
over the country for more details OF
his proposed treatment. DR.. Gibson's
statement was made before the con-
vention of homeopathic physicians
held here recently. Many physicians
have commended and approved DR.
Gibson's treatment, but there have
been others to criticise it adversely.
DR.. Gibson proposes to eliminate
tuberculosis of the lungs by an X-ray
treatment, augmented by injection OF
a serum, sunlight and fresh air. His
somewhat technical explanation of the
treatment before the physicians con-
vention has not been fully under
stood by laymen and to answer his
critics he today gave practical ex.
PLANTATION through the United Press
"The first part of infection in q
vast majority of cases of lung tu-
berculosis," said DR.. Gibson, "origi-
mates in the bronchial glands and
radiates from there to the top of the
lungs. 1t then spreads fan-like ovel
the remainder of the lung tissues.
"Splendid results have been OBJ.
tanned by treating the glands of the
neck, abdomen and other parts with
the X.ray. The X-ray will produce
equally good results if applied to the
bronchial glands. 1t thus cuts short
or prevents pulmonary tuberculosis
entirely.
"Aided by tuberculin or Won Ruck''
new vaccine, the X-ray should give
perfect results in these cases. By
this means, | claim that it is pos
sible in ten years to wipe out lunt
