In the Women. Home Companion a
number of contributors present a va
riety of good ideas for public schools.
A teacher in Los Angeles, Cal, tells

the tardy bell has rung every room
free from hardness places it's flag
outside the door, so that all who run

Lafcadio Hearn describes smelling
party in Japan, at which the guests
undertake to name a large number
of scents by smelling the burning in
cense sticks. Here is an effort in the
land of outdoor odors to develop the
sense of smell along with the sensi-
tiveness of the other faculties of
sense. How important is the sense of
smell when one walks amid the path
ways and avenues of the wide open.
What an added delight if one is able
to detach the more pregnant from the
multifarious elements of incense of
the flowers and trees and vegetation

Five hundred bodies have so far been taken from the ship which lies in some twen ty-eight feet of water and the police assert that scores have been trapped in the hold and between decks. The vessel had scarcely cleared the dock. VI en she suddenly listed and without H moments warning turned almost com pletely over. Hundreds were thrown into the water through the sudden slanting of the docks while the greater portion of the remainder were either. caught in the sinking vessel or were carried below by the tremndous sue ton. Eye witnesses state that the scene was indescribable as the big steamship suddenly rolled and sank beneath the waters.
 So far no excuse has been forthcom- ing for the awful fatality although it has been suggested that the sudden movement of the great number of pas sengers from one side to the other may be the primary cause. Others assert that the vessel was loaded far beyond her capacity.
