Children Hauled to School in 43 State,

Children Hauled TO School in 43 States.
In the most up-to-date school dis
tricts. children are transported to pub
lie schools at the expense of the school
district. There are forty-three states
now where such transportation CT pu-
pills is authorized An account Of the
matter has just been set out in bull
letin Of the United States bureau of
education. Ohio requires trtnsporta-
ton for children two miles or more
from school, while other states require
transportation when the distance is
one and one-haIf miles In some states
the transportation of public school
children is only permissive, in others,
obligatory. In several states the
school authorities pay parents or guar
dams a fixed amount per day for trans
portation. In Maine, Vermont, Mime
sofa, South Dakota and Oregon, per-
mission is given for payment for room
and board for pupils in homes conven-
lent to schools where the cost does not
exceed the cost of transportation. The
wagon is the usual form Of conveyance,
but many children are transported by
steam railroads, electric cars, auto
biIes, and even by gasoline launches.

no farther than it has. 1t will be very
easy for you to break off now"
Break off with Chadwick Hatton,
Margie? You are crazy. shall never
break with Chadwick Hatton as long
as he wants me to be his friend"
"All well and good, my dear, but
can you keep your companionship on
purely friendly basis?"
Would you think it very wicked
under the circumstances - if l did
not?"
"Oh, Mollie, Mollie, don't let your
pity run away with your good sense.
Wait, wait, dear, until the first sur
prise, the first hurt is over, then there
will be time enough to decide such
momentous questions"
Besides" said Mollie, almost with
smile, you see he hasn't asked
me-"
That's right, dear. 1 must say
Chadwick Hatton has been very de
cent in this matter. Most men would
have taken your freshness, your in
nocent youth, your cleverness and
beauty and left you to die of morti-
fication and wounded pride when you
found out the truth"
Yes, Margie, he has been dear.
You don't know have not told YOU
how | tried to make him take me
with him to places alone - without
Pat as chaperon. have given him
all the chances self-respecting girl
might give to invite me to dine or the
theater and he has never taken adj
vantage of them, but the next day
there would come to me wonderful
box of white violets or a half dozen
books, as though he would make I'D

shoulder or arm and-and sometimes

stricken expression.
ooh, Margie, Margie," she ex-
claimed, what shaI~I- do? What
shall l do?"
I had just been telling her about
Mr. Hatton having an insane wife.
81 had thought of every possible
complication and problem, but that
is one that never came to me-" she
murmured. Poor Chadwick! No
wonder he was always sad" Then
She hesitated a minute and said: 81
DON'T think it would be wrong for a
man to get a divorce from woman
who is hopelessly insane, do your"
Certainly do not, my dear child"
1 answered pityingly, "but the law
says he may not do So
do you mean to tell me that Chad
wick Hatton must be saddled with
this insane woman all the rest of his
life?"
Eyes, if she does not die before he
does"
How perfectly f1endish! Margie,
Margie, l believe 1 love, Chadwick
Hatton-and l am almost sure he
loves me- What are we going to do?"
81 don't know what he is going to
do, but forgive me, Mollie, if l say
that l do not quite yet believe that
you truly love him. Naturally you
just now think you love him because
of the tragic plight. Every woman,
dear, wants to mother someone or
something and now l suppose you
think if you could just put your arms
about Chadwick Hatton and tell him
how sorry you are for him you would
think it bliss. But you must remem-
Der, my dear, that life is long, and as
Dick would say, the cards must be
shuffled a good many times before

POLICE GUARD ON
 HALLOWEEN WILL BE REINFORCED
Will Arrest Persons Found MoIesting Pedestrians or
 Destroying Property.

The old saying, "The goblins'n Il 1 getcha if you don't watch out, will not be appropriate in Bridgeport this Halloween. The saying to be cor reetly applied will be, Look out or the copsll getcha," according to Su- perintendent Birmingham.
 | Tomorrow night will be the observ- ance of the annual celebration of Hal 1 lowe'en, the night on which the spooks and gobHns are abroad. This feast | falls on Sunday evening, the eve of All Saints Day, but it will be cele- brated on Saturday evening this year. This is the night on which young Vaga bonds and scamps will be visible on the main streets of the city smear ing the countenances and clothing of all unalert passersby Confetti, shoe blackening. and talcum powder are usually the articles used by the younger generation, and sometimes by some of the older element, in placing their marks on pedestrians.
 Superintendent Birmingham, ques- toned regarding the police detail for Saturday night, said that stringent measures will be adopted to prevent such tactics as were adopted by those who took part in the celebration last year when many claims were present. ed to the city for damages to the clothing and property of residents The police have received strict orders from the superintendent to arrest all celebratorS who wil1fu1ly damage or destroy the proper-y or clothing of citizens.
 double squad of police will be sta toned on Main street, Cannon street, Fairfield avenue and all other princi- pal streets of the city. It has not yet been decided as to the advisa bility of procuring the services of special po- l1cemen for this occasion.
 After declaring himself as strongly opposed to the tactics used last year, Superintendent Birmingham asserted that the rising generation were miss ing the time of their young lives by not celebrating Halloween in the old time fashion.
 Why said Superintendent Bir- ning41am, forty years ago no such tomfoolery as blackening the counte- nance of a pedestrian or hurting hand fuIs of confetti was ever heard Of In fact it would not be countenaneed and it will not this year.
 In those days the folks would gath CT around the l1earthStone, pile on a couple of logs of wood and when they got read hot we'd put Q large boiler full of cider on the burning logs. While the juice of the apple was simnering the folks would engage in the old fashioned games such as ducking for apples. hurling riddles at one another. playing a jolly game of spost-off1ce' and the entire evening would wind up in an old-fashioned breakdown or n1ayhap a Virginia reel.'

 Germany has sky rocket which steals the glory from even hor own aeroplanes. lt is even more remarli able then the Remarkable RockotaI It makes photographs of 9 battle field from a height of some 1000 feet and bringa back to It's operator negative on which is traced the complete pic-I turc of the field.
 This rocket, which has recently been reported in thc Technical World, car ries a camera, device to expose the plate, and apparatus that brings the whole device back to the earth with the photographic exposure made at the highest point of flight Like the skyrocket used for peaceful cele- bration, the war flyer has long tail with yanes at the end to keep 1t from whiflng. Inside Che head is the can. era, which takes photograph seven inches square. small gyroscope, an electric battery and parachute to provide for a slow descent. The shaft is twenty feet long and the whole de- vice weighs some fifty pounds A firing stand, with sights, completes tho apparatus necessary. Rocket, stand and all can be carried to the front on D small hand cart.
 In shooting the rocket is first head. ed in the desired direction and an electric current is then sent to the gyroscope which assists the vanes in keeping the rocket from whirling. An' other current ignites the charge Of powder and the rockets ascendss ol- most vertically At The moment of the greatest elevation, which occurs about eight seconds after firing, the exposure is made by an electricpneu- matic device The parachute, which is packed between the camera and the head, then opens, It's release al- flows the rocket shaft to drop a dis tance of about thirty feet, when 1t is brought up by a cord attached to the camera and parachute This allows the camera to descend through the Hast thirty feet slowly, after the rock ct shaft has already reached the earth.
 At a height of 1000 feet tho expos lure is made, and Is sharp and clear. The whole apparatus descends with in a few feet of the place from which l it is discharged The rocket can be used in places where it would be im. possible to employ an areoplane; there is little probability of its being brought down by shell fire, and even if it were the loss would be of only a comparatively cheap piece of appar- atus.
 Full equipment for developing the negatives is carried by the operator of the rocket, and finished plate can be obtained within approximately ten minutes after firing.

GERMAN BORN
 CITIE EMS EXHIBIT
 THEIR PATRIOTISM

NEW YORK, June 2.- Seventeen thousand persons packed in the Ihir' teenth Regiment Armory. at Putnam and Sumner Avenues, Brooklyn, rose and sang America at the conclusion of last nights program of the Nation. .pl Saengerfogt oi the Northeestern Federation of German-Amerioan slug ers.
 'America was not on tho program. Nor was any other martial music, Big choruses sang German folk songs. Soloists rendered airs from fayorite German operas. There was not Q sound like Die Wacht nm Rhein" nor 'Deutschland ueber Alles.
 Mme. Schunann-fIeink was last on the program with schuberts Der Gott und daa Maedchen.' She was ppaiauded enthusiastically, as she had been previously on the rendering of the aria "Andromache." She waited until the applause had aubsided and then walked toward the eide of the stage lowing her thanks, it seemed,
 Presently she asked the attention of the audience. And when all was quiet she said in voice that could he heard in the furthermost portion of the hail.
 Now that we've sung German be neutral and sing America.
 The big orchestra struck up the TO lrain. Almost without exception the musicians were Of German birth or descent The audience rose as one By far the greatest majority of those present were Of German utilization lThey sang the first verse.
 My country, tis of thee.
 Sweet land of liberty
 or thee sing.
 Land where my fathers died
 Land Of the pilgrims pride,
 From every mountain eide
 Let freedom ring.
 Big choruses, assembled for tho contest for tho Kaiscrs prlze, whicf today win decide the primecy among German singing societies. Joined 1T heartily and spontaneously. Mme Schumann-Heink led, but there wal no need of a leader Every one 1T the audience stood up, and most O them joined in volume Of melod, that swept far outside the building There was no attitude Of hostility From the big bowl-shaped stage therl was no discordant note.
