TO DISSOLVE ROCK
ISLAND COMPANIES
Directors Agreed Two Holding
Concerns Must GO-StOcks
and Bonds Decline.

While none of the plans considered by
the Rock Island directors for the disco
luton Of the two holding companies. the
Rock Island Company and the Chicago
Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Com
pany. has been agreed upon, it was
learned yesterday that the directors are
in full accord that the New Jersey and
Iowa corporations must go.
Though the administration proposed
antitrust bills embodying the prohibition
OF holding companies may be still long
way off from enactment. the directors
feel that their particular problem should
not await such legislation. one Of them
said yesterday that some plan might be
submitted within a few months.
Opinions that the reorganization may
entail the cessation OF dividends by the
operating company. which would be fol-
lowed by default on the collateral per
cent bonds of the railroad company led
TO further declines in Rock Island Sc
curites yesterday. The common stock
sold OF 3ss on the days transactions OF
more than 1900 shares, while the pre-
ferred declined AZ on sales OF SSl0p
shares After opening at 47l2 the col
lateral 4 per cent bonds OF the railroad
company sold as low as 45l2 The last
sale was at 457s.
Disseminating dividends by the operat-
ing company would mean saving or
100000 annually. This sum. it was
pointed out, could be advantageously APP
piled TO maintenance.
r. NJ. Schumacher. chairman OF the
Rock Island board. returned from an IN
spection Of the company's lines yester-
day. His report may have an important
bearing on the problem of dissolving the

This is the first time that poultry has

which are Individually feminine. Miss Bor-
land. however is a farmerette, who in
sists that of all the sexes woman is the

She will even take IT to bed with her' OF

THE woman, therefore, does not suner
so much from death in her chicken coops
OF course there is always a great deal OF

willing 10 take more trouble, save them
selves at least half the losses that men
suffer
"Jf. then, woman has any business

no doubt about the market. There are
ALWAYS plenty of people clamonng lot
fresh eggs and willing to pay any price
for them. The proof of that is in the egg
market this winter. Dealers have been
charging GO and rs cents for eggs right
straight along. and they couldn't supply
the demand at that.
ct would be fine thing II some OF
these women who are moaning about the
hard times would hustle out into the coun-
fry and start chicken farm. They would
not suffer from unemployment then the
only requisites for the business are indus

was suspended and then reinstated in
that school a few weeks ago, has been
transferred to School s. in the same Dor

She took charge OF her class Yesterday.
she has difficulties of temperament"
said Or. William II. Maxwell City Super
intendent Of Schools, when asked about
the transfer
If a teacher who is not qualified TO
teach in one school is transferred TO an
other. and does not improve, will not the
children under her lose that much Of
their education9' the superintendent was
asked.
ooh. children Will learn anyway he
laughingly replied.
WAS Miss Curtiss transferred at the
request Of Nh and Mrs. William Bo-
sardus. whose children she was said TO
have whipped
NO: she was transferred by action of
the Board OF Education. \ committee OF
the board found her guilty of the COM
plants lodged against her but did not
recommend her dismissal. l could not
dismiss her i'm the circumstances, and that
left only one thing 10 do-transfer her TO
another school.
The location of School 81, Rossville,
Staten Island. is known rs Bogardus
Corners. After her suspension and when
Miss Curtiss was reinstated there IT was
said that parents would boycott the
ecboo1 but only two children were pur-
posely kept away upon her return-Evelyn
Rogardus. seven years old, and William
Rorardus. nine years old. The parents OF
tbesc two took their children out of
school and said they would not be per-
rnitted 10 return so long as Miss Curtiss
remained.
Miss Curtiss then announced that she
had practically her entire class pach III
school, and declared:
L intend 10 stay right here and hoid
