Government Intervention
Silenced Rochelle Scandal

PARIS, April 1.-The preliminary
commission which has been investi-
eating the reason for the postpone
ment of the second trial of Henri
Rochelle, the swindling banker, re-
ported yesterday that it has been es-
tablished that government interven-
ton" in March. 1911, was the cause of
the delay In bringing the man to trial.
The report says that this delay did
not grant Rochelle immunity from
trial, but permitted him to resume his
shady financial deals.
The report, which was drawn up by
Jean Jaures, the Socialist leader
chairman of the committee, relates
that M. Monis declared that it was
the visit of M. Caillaux, former min
lister of finance, to him which made
him appeal to Public Prosecutor Fabre
to have the postponement granted
by NJ. Bidault de rIsle, president of
the Correctional Court of Appeals
The report says that the Intervention
OF NJ. Monis in the Rochelle affair
was very pressing and his authority
as head of the government at the time
was the deciding point

sion roll has diminished to such an ex-
tent in recent months that it will re-

ments in the fiscal year that will
begin on July next, instead of $780,

HOME WORK COUNTS

Fl was with a great deal of wisdom
that the educators of the city de-
i cided to make "home work. one of
the big factors in the domestic
science course at the Central high
school.
Each girl when named at roll call,
is required to give an account of the
practical work she did at home that
day or the day before. Those who
report a creditable amount done, re-
ceive high grades; those who do not,
receive marks according to their negli-
gence. Judging by the reports sub
mitted to the cooking instructor, near
ly every one of the several hundred
taking the course have been doing
fully as much at home as at school.
The results of such practice are two
fold. First the students learn to do
things with those materials which may
be at hand in the work-a-day realm
of mothers kitchen; second, they get
valuable little suggestions from their
mothers who have that wealth of
knowledge which only long experience
can give.
Then, too, it can not but give many
an overworked mother a feeling of
gratitude to the school board for pro-
viding a course of study wherein her
daughter is compelled to help "get
dinner"

THE CELLO

Among my friends l count cello,
A dear old plaintive, soulful fellow,
Who bends his neck close to my ear,
And whispers secrets sweet and
clear
In measures soft and mellow.
And when I at the fall of night
His sweet companionship invite.
He snuggles closely by my knee,
And purrs and signs in sympathy
He reads my thoughts Alright.
For should l dream of love. his deep
Toned, throbbing strings the gamut
sweep
OF old, sweet mem'ries fond and
true,
OF bowers rare and skies of blue,
That Loves dear secrets deep.
And IL perchance martial rage
Has seized me that I may assuage,
Only a1 he with vibrant strings
In march and triumph booms and
sings
Until l turn the page.
Should I on Sorrows ocean drift
First slowly, faster, then so swift
He gathers up the moods | feel.
And winds them back on life's vast
reel.
With all the tangles rift.

zine for December.
