 These two first headsmen now began to study and ponder the neck of the third criminal, asking what proof of skill the third headsman should under take, when the latter with one vast and splendid sword sweep cut off all three heads, thus finishing the crimi- nal and his rivals together and win ming the headsmanshfp of Regensburg amid the applause of all.

 cured a contract for the building or the aIrnshouse requiring only nve per cent In fact at the charity board s meeting he impressed upon the re- nortar that he had secured this low rate while the school board was pay ing six. It was then that he took a new track and tried to show riie board. the saving by employing man who could supervise and super1ntentA all buildings. make the plans. and other things. Great discussion, put nothing came of it.
 Commissioner Bell suggested that arr chitects be called so that the mayor might tell his plans to them, and in- timated that if they were accepted bv the architects it might bring about wonderful advancement in the profes- sion This was continued for so1ne time without any action, and a motion was finally made to adjourn.
 The early part of the meeting was rather warm. William F. Kirk & CO, contractors, sent a not too mildly word ed complaint to the board, declaring that James Gamble Rogers did not live up to the terms of the specihca- tions on the new high school in asking for bids. He also declared that the action Of the board allowing an addi- tionaI sum to the excavators was un- DrGcedGnt0d anu 61CrAVaGanL. HIS Communication was lengthy and to the point, whatever he had forgotten he was there to explain in person All present agreed that he presented the complaint in a very interesting man ner.
 He produced letters to show that the architect had failed to notify bidders of the great amount of rock to be blasted as required ,and that because of this their bids were too high. In the communication it was alleged that the Gibson bid was irregular, and that in one corner in very small type upon the bid were the words, tNo rock ex- cavation included He declared that this was overlooked when it was read. He intimated there might have been a reason for this
 He declared the board went out of its province to award the extra money. He declared as the contract calls for the excavating at a certain figure the contractor must live up to the terms of the contract It was inquired whether MT. Kirk was the next lowest He replied that there were a number of unaccepted bids lower than his, but that he made the complaint in Justice to all the bidders, and as a tax payer.
 The board listened with respect to his complaint, and after few remarks President Lieberum tabled the com plaint with, we have listened to MT. Kirlx's complaint and will act"

In describing the civil guards al Canea, MT. Trevor Battye in Camping In Crete" aIludes to the slender waists of the Cretan men:
 One point about the figures of these men, he says, as of all the mountain Villagers, is the extreme smalIness of their waists. which in some cases are almost waspAike. It is Interesting to 0oserve that this has always been a Crefan characteristic, for the figures on the frescoes and vases in the Mi moan section of the museum in Can dla (e g., the famous Cup Bearer'O have the same remarkable slenderness of waist.
 He is not sure whether this slim waist is natural or whether produced by tight belting.

Country-wfde agitation and the Passage of laws by many states has shown the prevalent public interest sn mothers pensions. No one questions the great desirability of providing funds adequate to keep dependent mothers and children together who would otherwise be separated solely by poverty. Instead of placing chiI- dren in institutions and finding 8 job for the mother, every one now agrees that 1t is much wiser to pay the cost of the family support so that a good mother may bring up her children.
 The question which the public has to decide is whether such mothers shall be pensioned through private re- lief organizations or by the state or citys> or county In any event the process should be one of finding out carefully how much is needed for pro- per shelter. food and clothing. and then of seeing to it that this amount is provided Any haphazard raising of money and trying to make the amount secured go round means usually heart breaking family struggles to get along on less than a decent standard of liv- pendent mothers With children they should not be scri1nped and uncertain but adequate and regular.
 Light upon thisg problem is thrown by a study. just completed by the As sociation for Improving the Condi- ton of the Poor, into it's work among 4TA widows with children The Asso- ciatfon gives pensions to 4S of these and seeks to determine how many of the remainder should be pensioned. On the basis of the study the Association finds that an adequate pension system would require $92.754 per year in ad- dftfon to the $71,OOO now being given ff7 supplied to these families. they must of necessity deteriorate by reeSon of insufnciency of food. lack of clothing and improper and unfit housing.
 What ever may be the opinion as to the merits of aid ministered pared with that distributed through public channels it can be safely said that public s-pensions'' are not re- craired to prove fthe value of an as-s sured and regular income to meet the necessities of life in a family from which the father has been removed by death, or where illness or insanity has rendered him incapable of longer be- ing the greadWinner.
 Tn records ten years old one may read of instances where regular week ly allowances were being made to mothers to the end that they and their children might remain together and +AAeAL of working beyond their strength for the ma1ntenance of their homes Yet 1t was not until 1912 that the sssocia- ton entered upon this pension policy on any large scale or attempted to take the fnH place of the death re- moved father

 The buildings suggested for 1915 should be put under way as soon as possible. Heretofore the wait for the one mill tax appropriation before any start could be made toward new build ings has effected too great a delay in their completion.
