The Monitor can get you a daily
paper giving all the latest, best and
most authentic war news, six months
for 81. Having made special arrange
ments with the Boston Record we are
authorized to take subscriptions at
present for $2-.a year or six months for
81. This is the greatest bargain in a
daily paper ever offered. The Record
is good paper and being an evening
paper reaches you on the rural route
the morning after it is printed. And
the evening paper is noticeable in it's
early war news. An evening paper is
far ahead of a morning paper on the
news of the great European war be-
cause 5 o'clocksin Boston is 10 o'clock
at night in London and nearly mid
night in the heart of the war district.
Wherefore, the news of daylight-the
most important of all-comes in the
afternoon press and is repeated in the
morning papers. So the lead of the
evening paper is very marked in this
war-probably the greatest the world
has ever seen. You ought to keep
posted.
Take advantage of this offer while it
lasts. Clip this adv, fill in below, pin
a dollar bill to it and mail. Do it

New York, April 10.-High records were
again made by stocks today under the
leadership Of Steel, Union Pacific, South
ern Pacific and Reading, notwithstanding
heavy realizing and advice by brokers to
their customers to proceed cautiously.
The best figures were reached around
the opening. when a wave Of buying or

points. This induced much profit taking.
1t was absorbed without signs of weak

net loss OF. one point and Bethlehem Steel
finished four points down; but this was
not considered disturbing in view of their
sharp advance this week.

Gardiner Case knOtty Problem fol
School Commissioners.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Hyattsville,v April 1cA-The board of
school commissioners Of Prince George
County are considering knotty and
somewhat novel proposition which has
arisen in connection with the refusal
of the trustees of tho Aquasco district
school to admit to the classes Joseph
Jerome Gardiner. son of Robert Gardi-
ner, of Aquasco. upon the ground that
the young mans blood Is tainted.
Acting upon the orders OF the trustees
of the school. Miss Helen Brisco, the
teacher. declined to admit the 9-year-
old boy, and his father petItioned the
county school commissioners to pass an
order resembling the trustees edict. The
petition was filed January IS. On Tues
day Of this week the school commission
ers heard several witnesses. 1t was In
evidence that the Gardiner boy had been
admitted to the white school at Wood
VILE, and that no question of his eligi-
biIity on account of color had been
raised. The testimony covers seventy
five typewriter pages, and as soon as
the commissioners can read and digest
the material a decision will be rendered.
