The school tax levy for 1917 will be

cut from last years levy but an in
crease in the city valuations brings the
total amount to $4o2.70o. slight ad-
vance.
Salaries of teachers amounting to
S225,000 is the chief item in the 1917
budget. Janitors' salaries will amount
to $4,000 and fuel. light and power
to S14,S00. The supplies committee
was authorized to spend not to exceed
1000 for next years supplies.
The recommendation made by NJ. c..
Holman, clerk of the board, that the
levy be reduced this year to SIS mills
was turned down in a hurry by the
board. Holman recommended drop
in the sinking fund levy from As to
20 mills, as this would be sufficient
to take care. of $4,000 in bonds COM
due in the next four years. 1t was
pointed out that this would make no
provision for taking care of the $341,-
900 falling due in 1922, 1924. and 1925,
thus imposing a heavy burden on the
taxpayers in the future.

SINCE NORA's DoOR.sLAM.

The New York Tribune points out
that it is thirty-seven years since IAN
elderly poet sat down at Christiania
to write his first play. At the end
of Act Ill his heroine, Nora by name,
marched out Of her dolls house with
banners waving and slammed the
husband. whose sole fault, calmly
considered, was in being what he was
supposed to be. a husband. He well
coined what he regarded as her in
ability to think, and in so many words
urged her to lean on me- 4 should
not be a man. he explained, If this
womanly helplessness did not just
give you a double attractiveness in
my eyes So she slammed the door
and took to the open air
The Tribune concludes that the in.
dependent female who slammed the
door in 1879 has since returned home,
bringing some wisdom with her. GAS
she is still WOman-quite as unmis-
takably a woman as ever. Actually
the open air has done her good
Along this line New England
woman speaking of local conventions,
said: "A neighbor of mine who has
a daughter of eight has just come to
Boston from two years in San Fran
cisco. She said she was glad her
little girl was to be brought up in the
East, because in California there is
no public opinion against girl, hence
no chaperonage, and though girls are
just as good west as East, still the
liberty is too great for their good.
She gave me this illustration: In San
Francisco often a part of the street
is roped off, there is music, and you
or I might dance without introduc.

The noses on Beacon Hill are those

Difference to the consciences of Thor

which are unquestionably sincere, the
situation at San Francisco seems an
indication Of a more wholesome and

whether on the streets of a western
city, or outside the door Of Thorvald's
house in Norway, is good for women.
Liberty may go TO their heads little
temporarily. but this passes, and they
and their children are the better for
it. So, incidentally. are Thorvald's
successors in the role of husband.

ire is five-part powerful drama, 'The
Sins of the Mothers" This powerful
motion picture play was written by
Elaine Sterne and was awarded the
1000 prize in the recent scenario con.

The curse of heredity is the theme,
and in unravelling the plot Miss
Sterne depicts in clear and forceful
way that mothers who are addicted
to gambling, will bring offspring into
the world who will inherit the same

g.. r.. marrying Money"
9 World Film Corporation presents
the comedy, MARRYING Money" with
Clara Kimball Young in the star part
of Mildred Niles.
The story relates how girl is de-
puted by her family to marry a rich
Count who, however, turns out to be
the possessor of nothing more valu-
able than his title. Marrying to order
is not really the girls own conception
of her mission in life, and she falls
in love with young fellow, Ted. i'm
personated in the photoplay by Ches-
ter Barnett, who hasn't cent to his
name. The young couple are perfectly
happy with each other, however, and
an agreeable surprise awaits them in
the news that after all Ted comes
into a rich Inheritance, so that Mil.
dred finally succeeds in marrying
money" and love as well.
The part gives Clara Kimball Young
an opportunity of displaying her rich
comedy gifts to perfection. The pic
ture has been produced by James
Young, who has provided an adequate
cast and beautiful settings for it.

:. STATE FOR LABORATORIES.

Apparently California is going into
summer School work thoroughly this
year. A recent news dispatch calls
attention to the fact that the whole
state will be a sort of laboratory for
the eager stuuent who scorns sum-
mer vacation.
There will be regular summer SEES
sion work for four or five thousand
students at the University Of Califor-
MIA Eut that's not all. Up and down
the length Of the state, on the farms
in the orchards, at wineries and pack
ing houses, students will be doing
practical work. Surveying, biological
research, agriculture, poultry raising
animal ahusbandry are some of the
many things to be studied through
actual experiment and hard practice.
Vineyards will be visited, problems
of insects affecting man and domes'
tic animals will be studied, plant
pathology and orchard growing will
be carefully observed.
It's an interesting idea-this using
whole state for laboratory expert
ment and research work It's safe to
say that those thousands of students
are going to learn lot about agri
cultural problems in their own state
what the problems are and how to
meet them. .g
And it wouldn't be bad idea for
other states to develop. 1t offers a
splendid opportunity for cooperation
between the state and it's university
Such summer courses in any state
would gre the student a live interest
in local agricultural problems and a
helpful foreknowledge of what his
state needed from his and what he
could accomplish there.

ing ever seen in photoplay is done by
William Farnum, who plays two sepa-
rate parts in The Bondmal," Viii

celebrated novel. Mr.. Farnum, who,
while on the legitimate stage, appear
ed for five solid years in ben Hur,'
plays the parts Of Stephen Orry and
Jason Orry, father and son.
In one of the scenes Jason rescues
Stephen during a shipwreck and
swims to shore with him. In view Of
the fact that Mr.. Farnum plays bo'h
parts, the scene constitutes one Of
inc most remarkable Photographic

pos1oFFIcEs AND INSPIRATION

Much has been said of the pork
and local graft" incolved in appropri.
ations for expensive postoffice build
ings in small towns. And judged by
the usual standards the criticism is
justified. Certainly it is extravagant
I for the government to pay $4,000 for
building when all the business
transacted in it could be handled just
as well in a $4,000 building. No
merchant or manufacturer does that
sort of thing. He suits the structure
] to its purpose, in size, style, and cost
And yet there is another side to it
that is usually overlooked in such dis
cussions. 1t is the esthetic sue. And
Americans are beginning to recognize
that esthetic values are important, as
well as economic values.
Who can estimate the inspiring eff
feet of beautiful and noble piece OF
architecture?
In many an American community
the postofice stands out as a land.
mark because of it's incompatible su-
periority over every other structure
in the town. And because of its con-
spicuous dignity and beauty. it fixes
the architectural standard in that
community. Because of it, the new
town hall is built in better taste. If
hotel goes up on Main street, it
aims at something Of the impressive
effect of the postoffice. at least, SO far

SAFEST RAILROADS.

We are getting used to the idea
that our railroads are redeerning their
old reputation for slaughter. But we
are hardly prepared for the state
ment of the Bureau Of Railway News
that American railroads are now the
safest in the world. Yet the tigureA
show this to be fact.
According to the latest statistics
from Europe, there were 200 passen-
gers killed in year on 100000 miles
of railroad. In the United States, for
the fiscal year 1915, there were only
1876 passengers killed on railroads az
gregating 100000 miles.
Our immense reduction Of accidents
may be seen in the fact that. ten years
ago, with far less mileage and only
about half as many passengers, our
railroads killed 533. So great has
been the improvement that last year
32J Of our railroads with two-thirds
OF the total mileage DID not XIII Il
single passenger.
The present figures for Europe may
be unfair because of the unusual rail-
road conditions due to the war. But
if that factor is eliminated, our show
ing is still the best. Rated by pas
Senper.mjIeS Our record for last wear
was better than Great Britain's for
the year before the war.
We still fall far behind most Euro
pean countries, however, in the num-
Der of people killed on the railroad
tracks. That is explainable partly by
the better safeguarding Of tracks
abroad and partly by the carelessness
of our people in walking persistently
where they know there is danger.

that Verdun commands the Briey iron

them France would be crippled.
