ACKERMAN is FOR
PENDLETON MEASURE
HEAD OF MONMOUTH NORMAL
SAYS ONE SCHOOL CANNOT
SUPPLY DEMAND FOR TEACH
ERS.

Monmouth, Ore.-"A careful analy-
sis Of the situation will convince any
one that Oregon. needs a Normal
School in Eastern Oregon and also
one in Southern Oregon" said J. H.
Ackerman. President OF the State Nor
NAL School at Monmouth. 1T is a
well-established fact that a centrally
located Normal School cannot supply
the needs OF the entire state. The
need of q Normal School in Eastern
Oregon is readily proved by the most
cursory investigation of the list of our
students and the list OF our graduate
teachers The estimated population
OF our state in 1914 was 795,5S7 Take
for example the eight Western Oregon
counties, Clatsop, Clackamas, Benton,
Lane, Linn, Marion, Polk and Yamhill
Counties. Their population for 1914
was 214,608, or less than 81 per cent
of the total population of the state,
yet so per cent of the graduates from
our Normal School for the past five
years are teaching school in some one
of these eight Western Oregon coun-
ties. There are 35 counties in the
state, yet eight of these counties are
getting half OF the benefit of the
teachers for which all of the counties
pay the taxes.
Here is the list. During the past
five years we have supplied the fol-
lowing graduates as teachers to these
counties:
Clatsop, Is; Clackamas. 20; Ben
ton, 20: Lane, SO; Linn, 2S; Marion,
2S; Polk. %; and Yamhill, 20. In
other words. 2Os of our 407 teachers
who have secured places in the public
schools in Oregon during the past five
years, have gone to these eight Will
lamette Valley counties.
Now take eight typical Eastern Ore
gon counties and see II they have Sc
cured thea proper share of teachers
with Normal training. During the past
five years we have supplied Normal
graduates as follows to these Eastern
Oregon counties:
Baker. 3; Grant. 1: Harvey. 4; NAL
heur, 2; Morrow. 4; Umatilla. 10;
Wallowa. Z; and Wheeler, 2.
The eight willamette Valley coun-
ties had 203 Normal teachers as
against 80 Normal teachers for the
eight Eastern Oregon counties. East.
ern Oregon received less than 10 per
cent as against Western Oregon's fifty
per cent.

Deported from Japar

Toxic, Sept. l6.-Herman Wohlers, a
German resident of YokOhoma for the
last three years, has just been deported

First. Almost every operation in
our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect Of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements, pain
in the side. burning sensation in the
stomach, bearing down pains, nervous
ness, dizziness and sleeplessness.
Second.-Them medicine most success
full in relieving female ills is Lydia E.

regulates and strengthens the organism;
it overcomes disease.
For forty years it has been making
women strong and well, relieving back
ache, nervousness, liberation and in
fammation, weakness, displacements,
irregularity and periodic pains. 1t
has also proved invaluable in prepar-
ing for childbirth and the Change of
Life.
Third. The great number of unso-
licited testimonials on file at the Pink

Jealous of Another, She
Shoots Him Three
Times
SCENE OF CRIME
IN OPEN FIELD
Pretty Ludlow, Mass, Girl
Stays Frank Daniels-Were
Sweethearts Five Years

Ludlow, Mass, March l3.-Emma Go
nuisso %, shot and killed her lover
Frank w. Daniels, jr., 10, in field of
upper East street, Ludlow, about 93C
o'clock Saturday night. She was jealous
the police say, because she heard that
Daniels was going with Polish girl
after he had been going with her for five
years. She followed him from her room
| ing house, II Essex street, Ludlow, where
he had been visiting her and where the
path to his home Berkshire street
crosses a field opposite the home of the
late j. Kirk Mclean, she drew 32-
ealibre revolver and fired three shots,
which entered his head, killing him in
stantly. She says that she also tried 20
kill herself.
After the shooting she ran to her
rooming house, where she was arrested
20 minutes later by Patrolmen Berthe
lemi Herbert and George Gates. She
was taken to the Springfield police sta
ton, where she spent the night, and she
will be arraigned to-day on a charge of
murder.
Daniels was teamster, oldest of the
seven children of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Daniels. His father is employed on a
locomotive in the yards OF the Ludlow
manufacturing associates. Emma Gonu-
isso is mill hand She was educated in
a convent in Paris and speaks good Eng
lish and Partisan French. She first heard
that Daniels had left her for a Polish
girl, the police say, several days ago, but
at that time would not believe it, Dan
iels visited her at her home Saturday
evening with a friend, George Baron,
and it is said that when they left Baron
is said Let's go home. You aren't go
ing with her any more, anyway"
When he left the house she apparent
" followed him. The two were seen to-
gether about 10 minutes before the
Thomas Laughran near the East street
railway crossing. Daniels bought box
of cigarettes at this store and those
who saw him at the time say that he
seemed nervous, Soon afterward the
Santos brothers, who run a Portuguese
store near the crosspath, heard three
shots. They ran out and saw the man
fall in the snow and the girl run through
the field. One of the brothers followed
her and the other ran to the East-street
srossing to head her off if she turned
that way. An Italian whose name is
not known reached the scene soon after
he shooting. He ran to the store of
Town Clerk Parent, who notified the
police.

Failure to Understand the

CAUSES GERMANY

Teuton Troops Deteriorate,
Says British Pub
Usher

London, March l3.-Lord Northclife,
who as just visited the Verdun battle
! front, in 4 message to the London Week
| ly Dispatch. declares that Nerdun is
much more interesting than important
The newspaper publisher continues: ut
does not need a personal visit to the
battlefield to realize this. If the Ger
mans really think that an attack on the
unarmed and dismantlad forts OF Nerdun
opens the roads to Paris, they have Il
very faint notion of the French prepare
tions and the French power of resist
ance."
Comparing the present. German troops
with those who fought early in the war,
Baron Northcliffe SAYS Last week I
saw German prisoners who had escaped
the hellish fire of the French > at Yer
dun. Where had gone those splendid
stalwa~ts captured at the battle of the
Marine? Much of the rank and file now
left of the Germans is undersized and
badly dressed with faces that bear a
look of fright that seems as if it would
last a lifetime. Their appearance is such
as to move a heart of stone. With two
exceptions among those with whom /
spoke all were utterly weary of warfare
and begged to be told when peace could
be expected. The fact about the whole
war is that Germany is in the position of
a besieged city and she is striking out
blindly by land at Nerdm. She will
presently, / am convinced, strike out by
sea"
Turning to The actual fighting at Yer
dun, Lord Northcliffe says: Not a word |
is limited in anything sent out from Ger

the German troops have been subjected
this week. Thursday was a black day l
for Germans, when. drugged with ether,

He ran Immediately and told his par

When Officers IIebert and Gates
reached the girls house about 20 minutes

real cause of the slides, Mr. Macdonald
declares that in many cases the immed-
ate cause was the oversteepness and
height of the slopes, the blasting and
other work attributable only to man. He
adds that the geologic conditions were
not sufficiently considered in the first
plans for digging Culebra cut.
As the strength of the famous Gatun
dam has been brought into question ON
number of occasions, Mr.. Macdonald re-
fers to it in some length. 1T was
found that the Gatun rocks are relatively
solid and compact and suitable for foun-
dations for heavy structures. However,
some writer's, even recently, have af-
firmed that the Gatun rocks would soften
into mud when Gatun lake filled, and
thus the locks and dam would sink their
foundations and be damaged or de-
stroyed. Opinions of this sort spring
from vivid Imagination and not from
facts.
If the weight of Gatun lake is going to
force water into the Gatun foundation
and cause it to soften into a semim mud
that will allow the dam to sink, then all
the islands in Gatun lake and all the
hills around it, which are of the same
formation, should also have their bases
the same way, and sink into the
depths. Reports that the Gatun dam
and locks are in any danger from sink
ing have not the slightest foundation on
geologic data"

PANAMA CANAL SAFE.
Will Not Be Swallowed Up By Earth

Washington, D. c., March l3.-Tha
the Panama canal will not be swallowed
up by an earthquake in the future ant
that the troublesome slides nov
being encountered will eventually be con
quered and the great waterway made al
/ unqualified success, is the opinion of Don
aid +. Macdonald, formerly canal geolog
list and now mining geologist for thu
/ United States bureau Of mines.
J Mr.. Macdonald, who spent several
years on the isthmus making careful
study as to fragility of the earth's crust
has Just made an official report to the
effect that, while through seismic dis
turbances the whole sthmus is rising at
the rate of three feet every hundred
years, this will not necessarily iniure
the canal. As far as he sees, it will
merely mean little additional expense
in the dredging of the big waterway The
cause of this rising, he says, is the sink
ing of the ocean bottom outside the 18th
milan shore waters. Every time there is
"A little movement of the ocean bottom,
the isthmus, to be in harmony, joins in.
He also suggests that if the rising mo-
ton be rapid, then there would be Sc
rious danger for the canal, but, that
from what has happened in recent geo.
logic time, it may be concluded the ca
nal is not in any appreciable danger from
instability of the isthmian land The
rising of the isthmus, however, has been
responsible for the many slides that have
encountered, in that the motion of the
ground has dislocated and crushed the
rocks, leaving them weak and unstable.
AT any rate" says Mr.. Macdonald,
so far as the digging OF the Culebra cut
is concerned, these faults have increased
the cost OF the canal several million dol
lars.
AS to the slides, Culebra cut is vast
ditch that passes through many varieties
OF rock in the nine miles of its length.
Some of these are weak and unstable,
and where the slopes of the cut were
steep and 100 to 800 feet high, the weak
err rocks crushed down to fatter slopes,
Whenever the slope got fiat enough, the
sliding stopped At no time did the en-
staff constructing the canal be-
lieye that the slides were a menace TO
the ultimate completion and successful
operation of the canal, in spite of the
fact that at times they were somewhat
troublesome. They have made necessary
.he excavation of about 30,000000 cubic
yards more than was included in the first |
estimates for Culebra cut, but they have |
rot in the past and viii not in the flu |
ure endanger the ultimate success of the

WANT BAN ON IMPORTED FILMS.
England's Leading Newspapers are Ad
vocating Ii.

London, March llThere is reneWei
discussion of the proposal that the gov
Iernment prohibit Importation OF moving
picture films, both as a means Of nation
al economy and as step toward building
up home industry in the movie" field.
Nine tenths of all the films shown in
England are imported from the United
States and France. 1t is estimated that
the trade with American film producers
sends to the United States no less than
Sl0000000 year, thus helping to build
up foreign trade balance against Great
| Britain and taking much gold out of the
country.
England is taking to her economies re-
| luctantly and there is wide divergence
of views as to the moving picture, or
cinema" theatre as they are called here.
Several of the leading London newspa-
pers are advocating the ban against the
imported film and have grown outspoken
in their denunciation of the American
product in particular. While admitting
that some of the picture productions
sert that "Rattlesnake Pete "Broneho
Bill and other Cow person" dramas
predominant in the American field and
are quite unintelligible to our people.
But the American "movie" has staunch
friends and il is asserted that if Ameri-
can productions were barred the theatres
throughout the British Isles would be
forced to close. The English productions
could not begin to fill the demand and it
is said the industry never could grow to
great proportions here because the light
and atmospheric conditions cannot COM
pare to those in California and other
parts of the United States. Those in OPP
position TO the film importation, however,
claim that Great Britain can lead the
world in this industry as in many others.
There are about 5000 moving picture
theatres in the kingdom and their bill
boards all proclaim American produc
tions. Most of the American film stars
have their distinguishiye followings in
England.
In urging that American films be barred, |
the influential London Times says:
I'VE are buying American films to the |
extent of SI0,OO0,000 at a time when |
there are only two legitimate objects ON |
which British money should be spent.
Zone of these objects is the promotion |
IF victory in the field; the other. which /
IS closely allied, is the promotion of a
sound national spirit in the people at |
rome. The importation of American
ilms, so far from promoting either of H
.hese objects, is direct obstacle to both.
Nor do these films, obtained at such
'ost, promote the national well being.
The majority of them are concerned with
little back-stsirs humor in the crude col
RS Of sham romance"
The importers OF American films have
uggested TO the producers in the United
states that all amounts received in Lon
lon, less office and other expenses for
american films shall be invested in Ex-
hequer bonds OF war loans and placed |
