convinced that the management of our state institutions must be taken out of politics and conducted in a bus inesslike manner. I regret very much the necessity for my act, but feel that I had to do it as a state official charged with the responsibility which rests upon me for the proper conduct of the public institutions"
 The governor said that he urged members of the board to change their attitude and their manner of conduct ing the states affairs several months ago and that time after time he reit- erated his statements to that effect. He said that he had been patient in his consideration of the trouble be- cause he felt that the matter might be successfully terminated without in- jury to the states good name and with greater good to the citizenship without publicity.
 None of the members had received notice of their removal last night, but the four members were agreed, it is said, that they will fight the matter, if necessary, in the courts, one mem- Der told the Gazette last night.
 E. w. McCorkle and Conrad Elsken presented minority report explain ing their position in the controversy yesterday morning when they tender ed to Governor Hays their resigna- tions.
 Members of the special committee which is writing a statement to be published, giving the boards position and answer to the statement made by Dr. Greene worked until late hour last night. They said that it was pos sible the report might be ready today.
 Until they have received the gov ernor's letter giving them choice of rendering their resignations or ac- cepting his letter as their dismissal, they declined to discuss the gover- nor's action. As several members of the board may not return to their homes for some days, technically they will not know of their individual dis charge for that period of time.
 Governor Hays gave no intimation yesterday as to his choice for mem- bers of the board to succeed the mem- bers discharged yesterday.

 Geo. w. Hays, Governor
 Governor Hays wrote the letter late yesterday as direct result of the boards failure to keep it's agreement to submit on Thursday it's statement explaining the charges made by Dr. Greene in his published statement. The boards act in electing a super intendent for four-year term is con- strued as deliberate defiance of pub lie opinion. The plan to select Dr. Young for the four-year term was suggested to Governor Hays Monday, and he declared he would not approve such action.

DAYS DEVfLOPM MfNTS IN EUROPEAN WAR

The pendulum of war apparently has swung back again in favor of the Russians in the East. An official re- port from Petrograd declares the Rus sians have repulsed two units of Field Marshal von Hindenburg's army near Mlawa and Lowicz-inficting enormous casualties and taking many prisoners and guns. At some places on the Mlawa front and before Lowicz the Russians say the Germans made fierce attacks, but that these were re- pulsed and that the Germans retreat ed in disorder. Successes also are claimed by the Russians to the south

"PENNY WISDOM" {
BY Caroline Coe.

Save the pennies dollars will
save themselves.
Use paraffine oil in place Of fur
niture polish. 1t is 20 cents a pint,
and a pint will last for months.
It may be used on the best of fur
niture. Use very little on cloth and
polish with dry cloth.
It will remove the greasy streaks
often left on highly polished furni-
ture, and certainly costs less than
any furniture polish.

CARE OF SCREENS

Don't take out the window screens
too early, the flies will be with us for
a while longer, but when you do
take them down be sure and brush
them and dust them and put them
away so that they will be good for
another season.
After the dust is removed make a
mixture of inseed oil one part and
turpentine two parts. With a thin
fiat brush apply this mixture all over
the wire netting, both sides, and the
frame as well. Apply this sparingly
so as not to clog the meshes.
The screens can be stored away
anywhere in this condition and in
the spring need only to be wiped free
of accumulated dust before going
back in the windows.

The woman was gone, and John

looking into the hard, worldly face of
Amy Nairn. How could he ever have
loved her? How could he? How could
he? He could not answer his own
question.

putting out her hand. John took it
and it felt cold and cat-like in his
own.

Waistlines and Their Wearers

When fashion once DEGREES low
waist line woman is loath to give up
the style, for nothing makes the
figure so girlish as the very long
wasted frock which DISCUSSES pro-
nounced curves at bust and natural
waist line and gives the undeveloped,
rather fiat suggestion of young girl
hood. The very high empire waists,
If well managed, also gives youth
full line to the figure, but the effect
is far more easily achieved by the
long wasted bodice, and therefore
the popularity of the latter, says the
Washington Sunday Star.
1t scarcely needs to be added that
this girlish bodice sashed at the hip
is only for the woman who still car
ries some semblance of youth. A
woman of fifty, even If slender as
wand, is rather absurd in the long
wasted frock. which seems in some
subtle manner to detract from heI
dignity and to make her look like a
frolicsome, overgrown child with q
face, alas, long past childhood's fresh
ness. AS for the niddle-aged, stout
woman, the less said about her in 8
low sashed bodice, the better. we
have all seen painful Illustrations
thereof. during the late summer ano
autumn.

House Cleaning Day Made Easy

neat little army of equipment was
marshaled, and the attack on the
dust fortress is made in most orderly
fashion.
Nobody ever wanders around wild
" seeking a missing link in the mop
family. For in the hall closet under
the stairs are two shelves and two
compartments in which the entire
cleaning progeny is housed.

Every little cleaner has a screw
all its own so that it's hung up on

She impressed very carefully on me
the fact that cleaning day doesnt
mean a thoroughly clean house az

How One Girl Made Money

A young woman graduate Of nor
NAL art school, whose duty Keeps
her tied down in a small town. had
had neither time nor opportunity
since graduating TO use any Of the
skill she had acquired. she wanted
very much to earn ssome money at
home during her spare hours, and
the present war gave her an idea.
During her art course she had
taught manual training and could
handle a hammer and saw quite
creditably SO she began TO make
wooden soldiers in the summer
kitchen of her fathers house, first
for the. children of few acquaint-
ances, but now for the Christmas
market, says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
Once suitable drawings were corI-
pieted patterns were cut out and she
got to work on thin wooden boards.
She uses q very good set of mechani-
cal drawing instruments and buys
boards without knots, so that they
do not split in cutting. She cuts
every soldier by hand and paints
him afterward in khaki or in bril-
liant uniforms; some are foot soldiers,
some are mounted. The horses ha re
names and tails glued on, the soldiers
holding gun and the officers wooden
swords.
With each army goes a field IN
which the soldiers fit by means Of
pegs: some boards are made with
grooves, into which the figure can
be slipped. Sometimes she makes the
soldiers with an easel back, but these
break in childish handling.
The first set made delighted the
purchaser so much that he told all
his friends about it and orders from
nearby cities poured in. The girl
says she expects to make enough
money to buy cutting machine and
to start toy factory there in the
village, making many things besides
soldiers and horses, The idea is ~
excellent one. since the war promises
TO cause a shortage of toys in this
country in 1915 Fortunately for the
children of America, Christmas toys
had been brought from Germany
where most toys are made, for the
1914 season before the war broke out
