SOME MORE TROUBLE FOR THE
SCHOOL BOARD

Judge Foen yesterday decided that
the Ousting of the four school mem
bers, Sethness, Harding, Huffman
and Dibelka, was illegal and ruled
that they might take their seats.
But that doesn't in the least solve
the problem of just how they're going
to take them back An indignant
public forced Mayor Harrison to GUST
these men. And the same indignant
public may see that they are kept
out
Judge FoelPs decision was based
on the fact that mayor was acting
against public policy when he made
appointees give him their resigna-
tons at the time of their appoint
ment.
The ousted men will try and take
their seats at the next meeting. The
city, however, may appeal the case
and thus drag the matter along until
the four mems terms are up.

He needs 'em in his game.

He'll snap you in a loving pose,
He flatters people much,

him. One Of the wounded men may

ForcIbIe Feeding.

There are many earnest and clever
women m the ranks of the militants,
but they have been carried away by
the new feeling OF sex cohesion, Of
class solidarity apd by their unreason-
ing loyalty to the imperious house
of Pankhurst, asserts q writer in the
Forum. A very dangerous and regret
able mob spirit threatens to sweep
them into excuses which will bring
even greater odium upon the title SUI
fragette than the word already con-
notes. The real suffragists are going
quietly and effectively about their
work, with the approval and support
of most reasonable men; but few
can view without regret the antics of
the Observation-Disclosures women who
are trying to associate the cause Of
sex equality with vulgarity, hysteTia
and the most pitiful lack of reason
ing power They cannot even see-or
they have not the honesty to acknowl-
edge-that forcible feeding is not q
real issue at all in the campaign;
it is merely taken up as convenient
hysteria-provoking weapon The act
ual question is not whether women
who have been sent to prison for
some criminal offense with political
motives) should be permitted to COM
NIT suicide; but whether they should
be sent to prison at all. If it is right
for them to go, 1t is necessary that
they should be taken care of, however
much he may regret that their own
deliberately adopted self-torturing
methods may make some form of CO.
ercion inevitable.

ELECTRICAL SHIP DOES WELL
Tynemount Buigs Demonstrate Ad-
vantaqes of Electric Transmission
for Large Vessels.

Perhaps one of the most interesting
ships of the year is the Tynemount. a
vessel built to demonstrate the advaD-
tages of electric transmission to con-
nection with the Diesel engine for the
propulsion of large ships, writes ]. R..
Wilson in Power. Built. for the Mon
treal Transportation company, this
vessel, which is of 2.400 tons displace-
ment. is equipped with two four
stroke cycle, six cylinder, 800 horse
power Diesel engines driving three
phase alternators at 400 revolutions
per minute; the latter in turn sup
ply a 500 horsepower electric motor
which drives single propeller.
The engines are both divided into
groups of three cylinders and the
camshaft of each is driven by verti-
cal shaft arranged between the two
groups. The bedplate is cast in two
pieces and bolted together, and joined
with the alternator bedplate at the n.y.
wheel end of each engine.
Starting is effected by means OF
compressed air, three cylinders only
being fitted with starting valves. A
device for stopping the engine and
means of controlling the amount OF
air delivered by the air compressor
are also provided on the control pillar.
Near at hand are the electric con-
troller of the transmission system. the
whole providing for the operation OF
the propelling machinery; controls
are also carried to the bridge. At the
after end OF each engine three stage
air compressor is fitted driven direct
from an extension of the engine crank
shaft. This extension also provides
means for driving the lubricating and
circulating water pumps. The fuel
pumps are driven by eccentricts from
the camshaft.

So they christened the baby Helen.
In due time another little one was

heir, but was almost reconciled when
he looked at the mother as she cud-

swered the mother. We'll call her

Time passed on, and a fourth little
one came to claim welcome. The
father could hardly hide his grief
when the doctor announced Its a
girl but he tried to look pleased as
he stepped softly into the .darkened
room AS he pressed his wifes hand
he asked, "And what will you call
this little-girl?"
Il think I'll call her Gracia,' said
the mother. 81 always have liked that

We'll, for heavens sake call her

then we can have boy"
And she did. And they did!-Har-

SHADE FOR ELECTRIC LAMPS
at Any Angle Desired-conven-
lent in Sickroom.

An objection that has hitherto been
raised to incandescent electric lamps
is that there has been no satisfactory
way to shade them A Kentucky man
has overcome this difficulty by the in
yention of most ingenious shade
that can be clamped on the lamp in
a twinkling and in any position de-
sired. The shade consists of metal
disk bent into semicylindrical form
and provided at its center with spring
claws adapted to press against the
globe and hold the device in position.
AS will readily be understood. this
shade can be fastened in any position.

During the Algerian war of 1844-47
the French soldiers were induced to
mix absinthe with their wine as a
febrifuge. On their return they
brought with them the habit of drink
ing. whieh is now so widely dissem-
mated in French society. The symp-
toms in the case of absinthe tip
pier commence in the muscular quiv-
erings and decrease CT strength; the
hair begins to fall out; the face as

AMBASSADOR PAGE FINDS HOME

At last it seems that Ambassador
Page has decided upon residence in
Rome. This has not been an easy
matter for two reasons. Mrs. Page
wished to have a garden, and the most
exaggerated rumors had got about in
regard to the Pages wealth.
Hence the sums asked for inferior
places were enormous. 1t is a fixed
idea of every Italian that every Amer
lean is rolling in money and does not
mind parting with it. While the former
may be true of Mr.. Page, he is certain
~ man who would not allow himself
to be swindled by landlord.
He has finally decided upon house
that has already been inhabited by two
American ambassadors, Henry White
and Lloyd Griscom. 1t is really a
princely apartment in the Palazzo del
Drago, comprising the whole first floor.
The suite has large reception rooms
and a long white hall where large
formal dinners are given.

TELEPHONE LINES IN CABLE
Biggest Underground System in coun.
try ExtcEd5 From Boston to Cap
ital of the Nation.

One Of the big intercity underground
telephone cable systems in this coun-
try, with ten large cities on the main
trunk line, has just been completed.
and for the first time the telephone OF
the northeastern part of the United
States is safe from the winters SHOWS
and winds
This underground telephone cable
runs for $50 miles from Boston, the
headquarters of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph company, to Wash,
ington, the capital of the nation. It
runs through and connects the cities
of Boston. Providence, Hartford, New
York. Jersey City. Trenton. Philadel-
phia, Wilmington. Baltimore and
Washington.
Practically the first serious consid-
Grafton Of the necessity of such a step
was given after the blizzard of March
4. 1908, when so many cities were cut
off entirely from the outside world,
both in transportation and communi-
cation. says the Indianapolis News.
In this actual construction of the
cable line in 40 mile lengths. the
amount of material used was enor-
nous. There were 4.690 reels of ca
Bile required with total weight OF
$500 tons, load for 392 freight cars
The weight of the copper wire was
5.S60.000 pounds and the total length
of the wires is 347,424,0 900 feet. The
lead sheaths for the wires total H.
100000 pounds and would cover an
area of 169.40O square yards.
Each individual wire is wrapped
along its entire length with special
ly prepared tissue paper. and the
amount of the paper used would cover
an area of 100000 square yards. In
the cable are IA pairs of duplex cable
wires.

AusTRIA's MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Count >Leopold Berchtold, minister
OF foreign affairs and chancellor OF
Austria Hungary, who but yesterday
was the best abused man in the dual
empire, has become literally overnight
an object Of the greatest popular en-
thusiasm and admiration.
1t has suddenly been brought home
to his countrymen that he is past
master in the art of statecraft and
diplomacy, and that they owe him a
debt of gratitude for the clever way
in which he safeguarded their inter
ests beyond their borders during the
last two years.
This revulsion of feeling, so start
ling in its suddenness, has been
brought about. not by any utterance

and as enigmatical as heretofore, but
