Some of the orders for explo-

acid is one of the greatest needs of
the allies just now, and the price
has risen from % and 80 cents a
pound to $3.50 per pound. The en-
tire supply has been bought up. and
the allies are now dependent upon
the quantity which can be manufac-

battle of Gettysburg. He climbed
cliff each evening to be in the

the classes. He is 20 years of age.
Rev. Fryrear has served 2S years as
school trustee, having the longest
term of service of any trustee in the
State. He is 20 years of age and
Baptist minister. He put forth
heroic effort to make the moonlight
school in his district a success.
Congressman w. ]. Fields prize
of $25 for the best moonlight school
in the Ninth District was won by
Bath county. This was the most
heated of all the contests, there be-
ing some excellent schools in Mason,

Bath.

country in the last few months has
evidently been unappreciated, while
of course the larger part was we'll

cities where employment bureaus
were opened and bread lines were
established, the latter were largely
patronized, while many men who
registered for work, failed to report

European Allies.
MUCH SECRECY IN PREMISES

One billion dollars is conserva-
tive estimate of the value of the
trade in arms, ammunition and war
supplies between the allies of Eu-
rope and the manufacturers in the
United States during the first year
of the war. 1t has not been posi-
bic for American manufacturers to
furnish war supplies to Germany
because of the interruption of trade
relations with that country.
During the past six months the
allies have bought from the United
States s40O,OO0,OO0 worth of war
supplies. Many of the manufactur-
ers in the United States hold con-
tracts with the British, French and
Russian Governments which have at
least nine months and in some in
stances two years longer to run.
Practically all war material des-
tined for the use of the allies is
now shipped by the American man
ufacturer or producer to Canada,
where it is transshipped in British
bottoms to England. Even war
supplies for France and Russia are
delivered in Canada, shipped to
England and distributed from there.

SCHOOL BOARD ACTS
ON MANY MATTERS
AT BUSY MEETING.
Ham'in E.,CogsweiI Appointed
Musical Director-Free Den-
tai Clinic Approved.

A new musical director was appointed,
Q free dental clinic in the schools was
approved. the question Of school teach
ers who act as walters in the summer
was considered. Or. w. B. Hudson was
suspended as teacher of physical tram
ing. and many other matters were dls-
posed of yesterday at one of the busiest
meetings the. Board of Education mas
had for some time.

year at his request, pending the secur-
ing of permanent director.
Walters Protest.
Much amusement was caused by a
communication from the Walters Union,
protesting against teachers who were
employed in the summer as walters on
river steamboats,, in public parks. and
epen-air cafes.
The petition. signed by a score OF
walters. set forth that this close asso-
ciAtion with bubbles and froth hardly
was a proper procedure for teachers,
and. anyway, If these teachers kept do
ing this the walters would not have
money to buy shoes to send their chill
dren to school to these same teachers in
the winter The committee on normal.
high and manual training schools will
wrestle with this problem.
The proposed extension of the Seven
teenth Street car line, Superintendent
Thurston reported. will interfere with
two schools-the Webster and the Sum-
ner. A representative of the board will
appear before the Public Utilities Com
mission May 26 to oppose this extension.
The Webster is located at Tenth and II
streets, and the Sumner at Seventeenth
and n streets. Both schools have small
Fairgrounds, and the passage of the
car lines, it is feared, would endanger
the children who play in the street.
The board again heard from a delega-
ton yesterday. These hearings are
coming to be a preliminary feature oi
each board meeting, and, in recent
weeks, the board has listened to pleas
for vocational training. for the appoint
ment of a temperance instructor In the
schools. and for various school i'm
provements.
