Over 100 years ago guns we're cast

not to any fault in the material but
chiefly to the fact that they were
cooled from the outside and in con-
sequence when the gun was fired the

cracking the whole piece.
A later method was used by which
the inside was cooled first and solidi-

by the contraction of the exterior

Still later a system of building up

DIDN'T TAKE HIS ALL
LAUNDRYMAN uNDuLY EXCITED
OVER MiSHAP.
Fears That Loss of Ambassadorial
Shirt Might Prove His Ruin
Turned Out to Be Quite
Unnecessary.

What happens when an ambassador
gets superheated under the collar has
become known on more than one occa-
sion but 1t remained for the last few
days to develop what happens when
an ambassador loses his shirt.
There are countries where ambassa-
doris don't wear shirts-at least as
shirts are understood here. Indeed.
there have been ENJOYS at Washington
who affected flowing robes, but that
was before the day when a million
pairs of scissors got busy on some
00,000,000 Chinese queues. Shirts are
as necessary part of an ambassa-
dorial wardrobe as of that of the plain
est native. Almost every Indian
wears a shirt nowadays until he joins
q circus or comes to New York, when
he must apepar In the traditional
blanket of his forefathers. And all
the excellencies that are accredited to
this country affect this garment.
So 1t Is with that particular excel
lency who has lately been paying a
visit to New York, habit that dur
ing the present administration has
gained such vogue among the diplo-
matte corps. Among other things, this
ambassador sent to the hotel laundry
q shirt. 1t was one of several shirts,
and, according to the best information
obtainable, 1t was white shirt.
When the wash" came back the
shirt was not in 1t, or of 1t. It was
missing. The ambassador made a
complaint. An attempt was made to
trace the garment, but a frantic
search revealed nothing that looked
like it, except shirts that were estab
lished as belonging to other persons
The chambermaid the valet, the por-
ter, and the employees of the laundry
were closely questioned, but none re-
membered having seen the article
1t was with deepest regret that the
management reported to the ambassa'
dor the result of the inquiry. His ex-
cellency was wroth. He said he must
have damages; the shirt should not
have got lost. It was pure careless
ness, and the hotel must reimburse
him.
Wild notions as to the value of a
shirt that was good enough to be used
by an ambassador fitted through the
mind of the manager. He knew that
shirts cost lot more in the United
States, as a rule, than in Europe, if
they are made to order, or If they
happen to be of superior material.
He knew of hotel clerks who wore
shirts that cost as much as SIS apiece,
and who would not think of putting on
cheaper garment What would be
the price of shirts worn by an am
bassador?
AS he pondered, the ambassador
spoke.
That was good shirt" he said,
"and 1t was DOW. 1t would be only
right that I'd be paid its full
value"
And WI II, may l ask" ventured
the manager timidly, lis the value
your excellency puts upon the gar
ment?"
1T cost me-" said the ambassador,
"$Ls5."
The shirt was promptly paid for
New York Times.

three subjects The summer school OF
the South is recognized by the State
Superintendent Of Public Instruction as
fulfilling all the functions OF State
institute.
Aside from these special features and
the numerous courses in other depart
ments which will appeal to all students,
there are many special attractions which
make the student life at the summer
school OF the South OF distinct interest.
The delightful surroundings OF Knox
vile, the many interesting excursions,
the special conventions, conferences and
round tables, the popular lectures, re-
citals, dramatic performances, and the
music festival which will be conducted
with the assistance OF the celebrated
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestral
lend to the summer school OF the South
distinct charm and an opportunity for
culture such as is seldom realized in
any school.
With all these advantages the fees
and living expenses are very moderate.
Every endeayor is made to afford the
teachers Of the South the greatest pos
sible returns for their investment. The
large numbers who have availed them-
selves OF these opportunities in the past
is ample evidence that they have not
been disappointed.

Great Opportunities for
Tennessee Teachers.

There are several features OF the sum-
mer school OF the South which will be
OF special interest to all Tennessee teach
ers. This. well known summer school
begins its thirteenth session at the Uni
versity OF Tennessee, in Knoxville, on
June % and continues until July 81.
The courses offered this year embrace
the same wide range from kindergarten
to collegiate subjects which has charac-
terized the schools work in the past.
Care is taken to provide expert instruc-
tors in every field Of study and many
distinguished educators from all sec
tions Of the country will cooperate this
year. From all present indications the
forthcoming session promises to be the
most successful one in the history OF
the institution
Three special features which are de-
signed for the benefit Of Tennessee teach
ers in particular are worthy OF extend
ed notice.
The first is the new provision for re-
view courses in the interest OF those
teachers who are preparing for the State
examinations. Under the new certif-
cate law of the State OF Tennessee ex-
aminations will be conducted at the SUM
mer school OF the South by the Super
intendent OF Public Instruction on July
16 and II. This examination will cover
all classes of certificates issued by the
State, namely, first and second grade
elementary certificates and first and sec
ond grade high school certificates.
In order to assist teachers in prepar
ing for these examinations, special re-
view courses in the subjects Of exam
ination have been arranged for. These
courses will be conducted during the
first four weeks OF the session, that is,
up to the time set for the examination.
The courses will be in charge OF some
OF the leading school men OF the State.
Twenty-seyen such courses are listed,
covering all phases OF the elementary
and high school subjects Of examina-
tion.
Students who enroll for these courses
pay but the regular registration fee and
are entitled to all the privileges OF the /
summer school.
A second feature for the benefit Of
Tennessee teachers is the award Of schol-
arships in Agriculture. Home Econom-
les and Manual Training. These schol-
arships exempt their holders from the
usual registration fee. Four scholar
ships 10 Agriculture are allotted to each
county Of the State, one in Home Eco
ncnlics and one il Manual Training TO
each city and county superintendent Of
he State for distribution, These schol-
arships are for the benefit Of those who
ire preparing to teach these subjects in
he State Of Tennessee, and the holders
ire required to give the major portion
il their time to the courses outlined un-
Ter these several departments.
A third point OF interest 70 the teach
srs Of Tennessee is the fact that teach
RS certificates will be renewed for all,

Friedmann's tuberculosis Treat
ment in City Hospitals

Requests for information in regard
to the results Of the friedman tuber-

Catholic Choral Union Concert,

The approach of the third annual concert to be given by the Catholic Choral Union was felt today when tickets were distributed to those who have already subscribed as patrons. The concert will take place at the Eusswin Lyceum, Sunday evening,
 May 10, at o'clock. The executive committee and members of the Choral Union have given time and thought in the preparation of a program that is expected to eclipse all previous efforts. This association was organized in 1912 and has sought annually to educate it's members and familiarize the public with some famous production of choral music. It is non-sectarian in membership and stands as a factor for civic betterment. The musical productions that have already been presented to the New Britain public have been Rossinis Stabat Mater and Dubois Seven Last Words of Christ. This year. besides the time given to the miscellaneous part of the pro- gram, the work has centralized on Hayden's Second Mass. AS feature of the present years work the mem bers have been active in securing a number of persons who, through in terest in the association and the work already accomplished, have signed as patrons and have agreed to purchase from S2 to $10 worth of tickets or to subscribe for a box. This list of patrons has been an important factor in enabling the Choral Union to ex- tend its usefulness and improve the character of it's concerts. To those who have already subscribed, patrons 4Sz !, sal. An title the possessors to a number of sittings according to the subscription designated on the ticket, and also to the exchange of seats at Crowells drug store April 27, 2B and 29, one week in advance of the public sale.
