SLIVERS, THE CLOWN,
LEFT ONLY $500
Guardian of Oakley's Daughter
Nav Be Administrator.

Frank Oakley, known TO circus goers
as Slivers. the clown, apparently did
not keep much Of the large salary he
got for making people laugh. Perhaps
it was the realization that he had been
able to put aside only $1,000 that
caused him TO commit suicide on March
S. That is the value placed on his
estate yesterday in the Surogates'
Court.
Oakley did not leave 3 Will. There
fore it was necessary for josephine
dc VI. Robinson, of Hampstead. Long
Island, guardian for Verona Ruth
Oakley, daughter Of the dead clown, to
apply for letters Of administration.
She said in her petition that Oakley
had personal property valued at not
more than $1,000 and $500 in real
estate.

Gadski Not Worrying;
BIameS bad Mans" Lies

The news OF Captain Tauscher's ar
rest caused intense interest at the
Metropolitan Opera House, where q
matinee performance Of "Madama But
terhy" was in progress. Word was
rassed among the singers on the stage
and in the audience that Nine. Gadssi's
husband had been arrested. The an
nouncement, however, was not entirely
unexpected, as it had long been ru-
mored in musical circles that United
States detectives were investigating
Captain Tauscher's activities.
Universal sympathy was expressed
for Nine Gsdski.
During the last year Captain Taus-
cher has been seen but little at the
Metropolitan except when his wife was
singing. for duri-g the first months
Of the war his outspoken German sym
pathies had caused one or two unpleas-
ant incidents.
The night before Captain Won Papen
and Captain Boyd sailed for Europe
Captain Tauscher had them as his
guests In a box at the Metropolitan
End great interest was aroused by the
fact that Captain Tauscher, Captain
Won Papen and Captain Boyd spent
a large portion Of the evening IN close
conversation in a corner Of the room
belonging 10 the Opera Club.
Il was well known ~ the Opera
House that Captain Tauscher was
! closely associated with Ambassador
BernstorfF, and IL had been reported
several times that he was on the verge

Two German stowaways held At
Ellis Island escaped yesterday by

with him, and engaged Tauscher and
Muck in conversation for nearly an
hour. All the while they we're taking a

They informed Tauscher that they
had a warrant permitting search and
that il was their intention 20 ransack

know that the search was made IN his
presence.
During their ninety minute visit
Tauscher told many things 10 the men

Tauscher said he was a captain IN
the Imperial German army, and would
have remained in the service had he
not met his wife. Nine. Gadsk. He
would have had TO forego marrying her
e he wished 10 remain. No officer IN
tho army, he said, could marry a wo-
man who is subject 10 public crlu-
cism. Nine. Gadski was then on the
threshold Of an operate career and
he was not willing 10 ask her 10 aban-
don il. On his marriage he resigned
his commission and Joined the re-
serves.
When the war started Tauscher was
in Berlin, and at once offered his ser
vices 10 the government. lie was in
formed. he said, that he could be OF
better service IN America, and was ad-
vised TO return TO New York as quick
" as possible and report 10 Captain
Franz Won Papen. the military attache.
Tauscher's vast experience In ord
nance made him invaluable 10 Won
Papen. and his knowledge was such, II
is said. that he could have kept the
Imperial government well advised on
the quantity and nature of the NUM-
lions shipped to the Allies from this
country.
According to Captain Ofloy, super
intendent Of the Department Of JUS

overwhelming. 4 large staff % invcs-

EXPERIMENT IN CIVICs.
The National Social Unit Organization
Formed In New York CITY.

AT a meeting held recently In New
York city there was formed the Ma
tional Social Unit organization, which
intends to finance, organize and advise
in some typical city, preferably of
about 100000 population, an expert
ment in the correlation of social activi-
ties. The development of a model
program for community organization,
with the counsel and advice Of nation
al social experts" as the organizers of
the movement have phrased it, will
take the form Of attempting in each
nciGhborhood OF the chosen city to pool
the experience of the agents in various
neighborhood and community actiyi-
ties and to work out standardized
methods.
1t Will mean that Instead of having
In each neighborhood a nciShborhood
association. which takes charge of gen
eral public questions, a community
center which handles social, recrea-
tional and intellectual matters, a dis
trict nursing service, district relief, dis
trict health center, and so on, all of
these activities will be united in a cen
trail body Which shall have charge of
all the work in the neighborhood.
Public health is to be the principal
feature OF the work as planned. and
the welfare of children is specifically
aimed AT.

the system works we'll enough to justi-
fy a central municipal organization to
handle all these questions is a matter
on which the promoters of the plan
are as vet unwilling to he quoted.
They make it clear that the present
scheme is only an cXperiment-indeed,
that the limit of three years which
has been set for its working out is
purely arbitrary and that the question
is to set such q movement started in Il
particular city and then see whether
its actual workings are an improve
mcbt over the present system.
The functions Of the National Social
Unit organization in assisting the OK
pertinent are ~thlee-irSt, to finance
the work in which there will be, at
first at, least, some elements Of addi-
tional expense; second, to ous inter
| est in the experiment all over the coun-
try by the enlisting of the attention Of
persons from all parts Of the United
States in the workings of the plan,
and, third, to act in IN advisory capaci-
ty. creating advisory committees which
will enlist the aid Of national experts
in every line.

FLY DETERMINATION.
Chicago School of Sanitary instruction
Issues Some Suggestions.

Chicago School of Sanitary instruction
Issues Some Suggestions.
A recent issue Of the bulletin Of the
Chicago school Of sanitary instruction
makes some interesting comments on
fly determination, from which the fol-
lowing suggestions are taken:
Dead flies are dangerous and should
not be handled by children. In some
own and cities the authorities are
paying the children a stipulated price
per hundred for flies killed. A safer
plan would be to pay by the pint or
quart. This would involve less han
ding Of these dead insects, which have
germs on their feet and bodies. Dead
flies may be just as dangerous as live
ones.
Another phase Of fly determination
work that deserves attention is the use
Of poisonous substances for destroying
these household pests. Not only the
arsenical poisons, but all the insectides
now knows, are dangerous. They
should always be used with extreme
care and should be sc placed that chill
dren cannot possibly reach them.
The bulletin recommends as an in
sectide a mixture Of two tablespoon
fuls Of formaldehyde with one pint,
equal parts, of milk and water. Flies
war; on the back porch when at
tracted by the odors of cooking in the
Kitchen. Keep the back porch clean
and free from anything that flies can
feed on Place the fly poison on shall
low plates in which several squares
Of bread have been put. The recepta-
cles containing this mixture should be
placed outside the home rather than in
it unless the screening facilities have
been neglected and the flies have had
free access to the house.
The trapping. killing and effective
determination Of flies should be done
outside Of the home. In the impor-
tant work of Kidding u community Of
flies it has been established that In
stead Of swattlng the fly we should
swat the places where the flies breed.
If this has been done the flies in any
community will be reduced to a mini
num-.

ANTIQUITY OF CHEESE.
The Bible Mentions 1t, as Do Homer
and Other Early Writers.

Cheese and curdling of the milk are
mentioned i'll the book of Job. David
was sent by his father, Jesse. to carry
ten chccScs to the camp and to look
how his brother Jared. Cheese of
kline formed part of the supplies OF
l>avid's army at Mahanaim during the
rebellion of -Absalom.
Homer says that cheese formed part
of the ample stores found by Ulysses
i'll the cave of the Cyclop Polyphemus.
Euripides, Thcocritus and other early
poets mention cheese. Ludolphus says
that excellent cheese and butter were
made by the ancient Philippians. and
Strabo states that some of the ancient
Britons were so ignorant that. though
they had abundance of milk, they did
not understand the art of making
cheese.
There is no evidence that any Of
these ancient nations had discovered
the use Of rennet in making cheese.
They appear to have merely allowed
the milk to sour and subsequently to
have formed the cheese from the case
GUS part of the milk after expelling the
serum or whey.
AS David when toe young to carry
arms was able to run to the camp
with ten cheeses, ten loaves and an
ephah of parched corn, the cheeses
must have been very small.

More Than Pedagogy.

Nobody is going to Wahpeton to
study science; nobody is going to Bot
tineau to study forestry; nobody is
going to the agricultural college to
study agriculture and nobody is going
to the normal schools MERELY to
study pedagogy. No, not at all, they
attend these institutions of higher
education for the larger culture they
offer and the better equipment they
afford for the making of caree in life.
Only the very few look to these
schools solely for technical equipment.
And the student body of each of our
schools clearly demonstrates that fact.
You will notice the largest number
come from counties Immediately sur
rounding the school. At the state
university there are "a per cent from
Grand Forks county; at the agricul-
tural college &c per cent are from
Cass county; at the Valley City nor
NAL, 81 per cent are from Barnes
county; at the Mayville normal there
are 40 per cent from Trail county;
at the Minot normal there are 50 per
cent from Ward county; at the Ellen
dale school there are SO per cent from
Dickey county; at the school of sci
ence there are 81 per cent from Rich
land county; at the school of forestry
there are IS per cent from Bottineau
county.
All the schools are local. In order
to get any large number of pupils to
attend school from west of the river
we must put a school here; otherwise
we will never get them to go
Would Not Increase Taxes.
A word is due to those who hold
that an additional normal school would
entail too much expense On the state.
TAXES WILL BE NO HIGHER be-
cause a new building is located ad-
vantageously for an %unschooled o n
tingency. The school taxes of the
state are limited by the constitution
and the limit thus allowed has always
been used in it's entirety. They can
be no higher under the law.
1t will cost the state no more to
build and maintain a normal at Dick
inson than to do SO where a normal
already exists but at too great a dis
lance for Slope students to 60.
