THE GARY PLAN
Is to Decrease Expense Of Housing School
Children

when scheme is proposed by which
existing school buildings may accommo.
date two sets of pupils, it is no wonder
that wide interest is aroused" declares
Supt. J. H. Van Sickle of Springfield,
Mass, in describing the spread OF the
Gary plan of school organization in a
report just issued by the United States
bureau Of education OF the department
of the interior.
ANY plan that will lessen the ex-
pense of housing school children makes
a strong appeal to boards of estimate,
school boards, and the press. School
boards are not willing, however, to be
hurried into adopting, for exclusive, use
in situation quite different from that
in which it originated, plan SO rad
ically different from the customary one
without carefully testing its applica-
bility.n
Arguments for and against the Gary
plan are presented by Superintendent
Van Sickle. He says:
"The Gary plan is advocated largely,
but not exclusively, on the ground of
lower cost. There are those, however.
whose approval is based upon the claim
that by means Of longer school day
it affords to the children wider oppor-
tunities for work, study and play; that
it distributes the burden of teaching
more evenly over the entire teaching
staff; and that it affords prevocational
training to all children in all of the
grades, instead of combining such work to
a small group of children in the seventh
and eighth grades

WHY PAPERS ARE YELLOW.
Reasons for the Jaundice Hue-Effect Of
the Scarcity of Aniline Blues.

For a newspaper to be classed amont
the "yellows" now is no reflection upol
the quality of its news columns NJ
doubt many people have been wondering
| just what is the reason for the jaundic,
hue of many of the pages of the dailie,
and in some hazy way connect it witt
Germany and the war, which is quite
right.
Bleach is scarce and has advanced
enormously in price. Before the war il
was $3.50 a ton, but now manufacturers
of paper are paying as high as 1914
cents pound for it, or $500 ton
Bleach, which is nothing else than chlor-
inc, formerly came to the United States
almost entirely from England and Ger
many. But we have been growing gradu-
ally more-self sufficient Most of the
supplies now used in the United States
and IN Pennsylvania. Many new plants
have recently started production, but the
demand is enormous Not only is chlorine
used as a bleach for paper and cloth, but
il is now in great demand for the man
ufacture of high explosives. The plants
of the Du Pont Co. are using vast guam
titles of it.
Greater activity at the textile mills
has increased the demand for bleach and
the paper mills, which year or so ago
were running not over two-thirds full,
are now operating at capacity. Imports
of paper from England, Norway, Sweden
and elsewhere have been very much re-
duced.

CURIOUS ORIGIN OF A LAW.
II Was Passed In England on Account
Of Peter Theliusson's Will.

The Thellusson law, once enacted by
the British government, was law tc
regulate the disposition of property
by will and to prevent the excessive
accumulation of estates, 1t had GU
rious origin.
On the 9th of July, 1897, one Peter
Thellusson, an English merchant of
French birth, died in London, leaving
a certain sum to his widow and chill
dren and the remainder Of his property,
then amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars. to trustees to ac-
emulate during the lives of his chill
dren, grandchildren and great grand
children living at the time of his death
and the survivors of them. The ac-
emulation would have been enormous.
The wifi was contested, but was held
valid. In order, however, TO prevent
such a disposition of property in the
future. parliament passed what was
called the Thellusson act, or accumula-
lions act, regulating and limiting be-
quests in such a way as to make great
accumulations impossible.
When Peter. Thellusson's last sur
viying grandson died, in 1856, ques-
ton arose as to whether the eldest
male descendant or the male descend
ant of the eldest son should inherit the
property, and this question was de-
cided on appeal by the house of lords

Night Photography.

How to take pictures at night
has been an unsolved problem
with motion picture directors for
some time past. They have felt
the need of some apparatus that
would enable them to utilize for
night photography locations that
are so far from the source of
electric power as to make it i'm
practicable to stretch wires for
lighting purposes. This prob
lem has recently been solved by
Romano Fielding, formerly a
film star and now feature direct
or of one of the large companies.
He has devised an independent
travelling power plant that will
make possible night motion pho

place where artificial light has
hitherto been unknown.
The portable 35-horsepower
plant, which was constructed in
accordance with Mr.. Fielding's
ideas and is his own personal
property, besides providing ap-
paratus for running wires, is
equipped with a powerful II.
inch navy searchlight of the
protector type. The light is
mounted on the seat beside the
driver and may be operated eth
er while the car is moving or
standing still. The capacity of
the searchlight is A, 100000 can

When in operation it requires

GUS citizen of the Republic. His
speech recently delivered at
Brooklyn was almost incendiary
in its nature. It breathed forth
threatening and slaughter. He
laughs to scorn an army of l.
900, 900 men as totally inadequate

essary at this time in the affairs
of the nation. He wants an army
now equal and able to cope with
the army of Germany.
AS he vigorously denounced
President Wilson's policy of
treating the Mexican situation
there is but one reasonable con-
clusion to draw, that he favors
sending the army of the United
States into Mexico. In attack
ing the administration in its Dip
iomatic dealing with Germany,
relative to the Lusitania, he car
ries by inference that the atti-
tude of Germany is wholly dis
tasteful to him, and that the loss
of American lives, since he says
they should not be counted in
money. calls for declaration of
war on the part of the United
States against Germany.
If this country was aroused to
a state of intense indignation
about the sinking of the Lusita-
mia, like it was over the sinking
of the Maine. If the cases were
in anyway similar, Mr.. Roosevelt
would, in a few speeches like he

went over to Indianapolis and, in
person, carried the glad tidings.
Nothing more happened for
