WON'T LET BRUMBAUGH QUIT
Board Of Education Insists He Re
main superintendent.

A tribute to the ability of DR. Martin
G. Brumbaugh, Governor-elect of Penn
sylvania, has been paid by the Board of
Education in ignoring his resignation as
Superintendent of Schools of Phladel-
phia. Doctor Brumbaugh obtained leave
of absence without pay in July and soon
after that resigned. On motion OF John
Wanamaker, the resignation was laid
on the table and has never since been
taken up.
The Governor-elect will now resume his
duties as Superintendent of Philadelphia s
public schools, and, 1t is understood. will
continue in that office until the end Of
the year. His leave of absence expired
November 1. on which date his salary
started again. Doctor Brumbaugh's s
name was not mentioned at the meeting
of the board yesterday and only in in
formal discussion after the session.
Edwin Wolf, chairman of the board s
Committee on Finance. declared 1t is the
desire of the board that Doctor Brum-
baugh complete work he started prior
to his leave of absence.
Doctor Brumbaugh is needed at his
post as head of the public schools" said
Mr.. Wolf. 'and after n short rest he will
resume his duties"

Commissioner and County Superin-
tendents Outline Plan at Institute.
DOVER, Del. Nov. 11.-Delaware teach
ers are to vote on the question OF State
pensions for school teachers. State Com
missioner of Education Wagner and
County Superintendents Cross, Carroll
and Hardesty at sessions OF the State In
stitute today outlined tentative plan
for a pension fund.
Under the scheme they unfolded the
State will be asked to make yearly APP
propriation, with the teachers sacrificing
a small portion of their salaries to add
TO the sum. The suggestion has been in
dorsed enthusiastically by teachers who
have been engaged in educational work
for a long term, but l. was said II meets
with the dIsapprOval of recent recruits to
the teaching force.
The issue will be settled by vote to-
morrow of the 600 teachers attending the
institute. Although Commissioners Wax-
ner and his county aides are confident a
state appropriation could be obtained, 1t
is not thought possible a grant could be
made until 1917, because of steady gains
in State expenses, while the taxes ana
receipts remain stationary.
Superintendent Hatdesty, Of Sussex
County, today advocated change in the
school tax rate in his county so that more
money would be given rural schools,
This afternoon Mrs. Frederic Schon' OF
Philadelphia, addressed the teachers on
the value OF home and school leagues.

Latest Invention for Cures.
Physicians and surgeons are discussing
the invention enabling radium treatment
TO be given at home and with but slight
cost, which was exhibited and discussed
last night at the Philadelphia branch
Of the American Pharmaceutical Asso-
citation. Should such an invention prove
practical the way will be paved for the
application of radium to patients who
could not formerly bear the expenses
BY means OF this invention, said DR.,
William Schicfrelin. nf New York,
radium is administered by means OF
water highly charged with the emana-
tions. The healing virtues of the naturally
charged radioactive waters of the spas
OF Europe can be accurately reproduced
by means of this apparatus. Administer
ing radlum by means OF water has long
been looked upon by experts as the most
effective way of using It.
The apparatus costs about S16, and will
continue to give off powerful gamma
rays for more than 1900 years. II con-
sists of eight bottles, each holding nine
ounces of water, and eight clay rods con-
tanning radlum sulphate an insoluble
form of radium. and permits the charg-
ing of water with definite amount of
radium gas without taking up any OF the
radium itself.

NEW WAR MENACES
COLORADO STRIKERS,
SAYS MINER CHIEF
Adolph Germer Declares
Serious Trouble Would
Follow Withdrawal of
Federal Troops.
"There wIll be another Ludlow.,,

"There will be another Ludlow"
The answer came to the question,
"what will happen IL the Federal troops
are Withdrawn from Colorado?" 1t was
given by Adolph Germer, vice president
of the United Mine Workers Of Illinois,
now attending the American Federation
of Labor convention. Germer took an
active part in the recent struggles in
Colorado.
Germer is n big man. His shoulders
square off like powerful mountain lodges
He looks straight into you.
"And do you think Wilson will be able
TO bring about some kind Of a settlement
to prevent thls?"
+ HE hasn't got the backbone. He
hasn't got the nerve to compel Rookie
fetier to carry out his terms OF peace
lis It probable that the Federal troops
will be withdrawn from Colorado this
winter?"
81 expect that the troops will be out Of
Colorado soon
"Then what will the miners do, with the
federal troops gone and the militia turned
on them again?'
Germer is not a talkative man. He Is
thoughtful, careful and terribly In earn
est. He said, What the miners will do
depends upon whether they can get guns
to defend themselves"
Then he brought his firm, strong fist
down upon the table in front Of him and
declared with emphasis that 'f there Ia
another Ludlow, there will be call sent
out over the nation to rally to the aid
of the miners in Colorado"
Germer said the coming of the Federal
troops has placed the miners in position
where they will be at serious dlsadVan-
tage when the troops leave.
THE Federal troops" he said, called
for the arms of the strikers and the
strikers gave up their arms, all Of them
The men now have no guns. And IL the
Federal troops go and the gunmen are
turned loose again-well, there will be
another Ludlow
As to the new Governor. Carlson, Ger
mer was of the opinion that he could dc
very little in behalf of the strikers.
