'BR|T|SH DEFEATED BY

OFF CHILEAN COAST.
One Ship Is Known to Have Been
Lost With Practically All
of Her Crew

Valparaiso, Chile, Nov. 4.-The vic.
tory of the German fleet, under Ad-
miral Won Spec, consisting of the
armored cruisers Scharnhorst and
Coeisenau and the light cruisers Nurn-
berg, Leipsic and Bremen, over the
British squadron, made up of the
cruisers Monmouth, Good Hope and
| Glasgow and the transport Otranto,
commanded by Rear Admiral Cra-
dock, continues the sensation of the
hour here.
That the Germans were able to sink
or scatter the British squadron with
only minor damage to their own ships
and a casualty list of only two
wounded, is a subject of wonder
The Monmouth is known to have
been lost with practically all of her
crew, as a result of this first big naval
! fight of the war; the Good Hope was
severely damaged and on fire when
she escaped under cover of darkness,
and it is believed here that she went
to the bottom, while the Glasgow and

Arkansas Teachers
May Permit Flirting

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. Am
Arkansas school teacher is under no
obligations to prevent flirting among
his pupils and cannot be disciplined
by his school board even If he en-
courages affairs of the heart among
the youthful charges. This dictum,
couched in dignified legal language,
was laid down by the Arkansas Su-
preme court yesterday.
Robert Emil Roth, Crawford
county teacher, had been hired for
a year. He was discharged after three
months because the board alleged he
had disregarded its order to prevent
flirting among the pupils. The court
held that this was not sufficient cause
for his discharge and that the teacher
is entitled to his salary for the year.

STOOD FOR ANCIENT SPELLING
Dean Swift About the First to Thun:
der Against "Reforms" in
English Language.

In the eighteenth century we find
prose is one of our delights, writing as
the very first article which appeared
over his acknowledged name "a Pro-
posal for Correcting, Improving and
Ascertaining the English Tongue" He
lamented that the English tongue was
becoming debased, but he attributed
the cause, in part, to the liberties
which Dryden and the other poets of
the Restoration had taken in shorten
ing their syllables by omitting those
very els which our spelling reformers
would eliminate.
"These gentlemen" wrote Swift, "al-
though they could not be insensible
how much our language was already
overstocked with monosyllables, yet
to save time and pains, introduced
that barbarous custom Of abbreviating
words to fit them to the measure of
their verses so that most of the books
we see nowadays are full of those
mangiings and authorizations" Dis
turb'd, "rebuk'd," are among the
words he finds especially unpleasant.
Swift was further annoyed at a fool
ish opinion. advanced of late years,
that we ought to spell exactly as wes
speak: which, besides the obvious in
convenience of utterly destroying our
etymology, would be thing we
should never see an end Of" Also he
noted with impatience in 1712: "It is
sometimes a difficult matter to read
modern books and pamphlets; where
the words are so curtailed and varied
from their original spelling, that who
ever has been used to plain English
win hardly know them by sight" How
many of our new" controversies were
waged centuries ago

During the absence of their mother
the two children of Mr.. and Mrs. Law
renee Price, of Dickerson, found can
of coal oil and some matches and began
to play, with the result that the little
one-year-old son was burned to death.
Fortunately neighbors saw the smoke

saving the house. The older boy, who
is about four years of age. escaped un-
hurt.
Mr.. Price is employed at saw mill
at that place. The mother left the house
for short time, and while away the
boy got into mischief. He found the
coal oil in the closet and poured the fluid
about the floor. probably not knowing
what danger he was in. When he
struck some of the matches the floor
was enveloped in flames, which. caught

The Rronchoscope.

The bronchoscope illuminates the
passages SO successfully that tacks,
horseshoe nails and fragments OF
bones have been found and removed
even from the third branch Of the
bronchial tree, by the use of delicate
instruments.
Another and more dangerous, though
sometimes the only possible, and oc-
casionally successful method now en-
ployed for this same purpose is purely
surgical. The X-ray is used to deter
mine the position of the object, and
then a window in the chest wall Is
cut, the lung tissue Is severed until
the bronchial tube is exposed, and the
tube is slit open and the object re-
moved. Strangely enough, this opera

is expected that the thirty volunteers to
wind up the canvass will be able to raise
the remaining amount of $500 with very
little trouble.

kind. The proceeds may go toward the

goal of their campaign in sight, and they

plowed in the fall, lose no time, but
get some manure prepared for imme.
diate application. Commercial fert1-
hzers may be used, but the best ma
terial is rotted stable manure in lib
eral quantity Tender well-favored
vegetables must be grown rapidly and
the barn-yard manures contain just
the elements needed to sustain their
growth. Bone meal and nitrate OF
soda may also be used to help out with
the barn-yard manure.
The root crops should not be grown
where freshly applied manure has
been used as such an application tends
to make such crops as parsnips and
satisfy grow forked and prongy. 1t
is also likely to foster scab fungus,
so that potatoes planted in newly
manured land are often rough and
scabby. Such root crops should be
planted on ground that was manured
the season before. All other vege-
tables, however, will do well with lib
eral manuring.
If you have left your plowing until
spring, you should get it done as early
as possible. The part of the garden
you wish to use for early paintings
should be narrowed and pulverized
shortly afterward. The part to be
used for later paintings should not be
narrowed finely or it will become full
of weeds. This part of the garden will
need to be replowed or deeply har-
rowed from time to time, SO that it
will keep its moisture and become
mellow and fine for later paintings.
