schools. sent to boards of education
an urgent recommendation that these
, boards, whore a necessity exists

ed by the last legislature,

not provide for less than six months
terms unless they have first exhaust
ed every source Of revenue includ-

sion has thus been made.
Ninety districts. it war said at the

per cent of the amount that will be
demanded.

Suppose, for example, that your

are requesting $500 from the supple

to get $500 from the supplementary
fund and a fourcent levy would pro-

This levy, says Shawkey. must be

Several schools were closed last

Roumanian Titles.

ROumanian traditions are democrat
1c in that the language ignores titles
of nobility. In Roumania the title of
his or her "highness" or his excel
lency' is given only to the foreigner.
The national idiom knows only one ap-
pellation Of this kind, "thy grandeur, .
'"Matria ta," and this is reserved for
the sovereign. The men call each 9th
er brother" even in moments of an
ger. Marquis" and countess" are
two expressions which have in Rouma-
MIA significance intended to wound.
A little prince" is clown. The most
astonishing thing is that the word
king i'll ordinary usage is far from
complimentary. In Roumanian a scoun-
drel will be "a king of the old court"
and miserable wretch may be "a king
and a half" 1.-The last of the bandits, y
"a king to be hanged" This aversion
is for the word, not for the king, for
Roumania from principality became
a kingdom, yet the feeling is such that

They Save Their Shoes,

1t is the ambition of almost every
Haitian to possess Il black suit for spe-
cial occasions. If he is a private citi-
zen without hope of political prefer
ence or place, he is content with a coat
cut in sack effect. If he pretends to
fashion he likely wears long cut
away. If he happens to be a general,
or member of congress, or an ex-
member, or minister or eX-minister,
he affects the extreme frock or Prince
Albert, and the heavier and thicker the
cloth the happier the wearer, though
he swelter in his raiment. 1t is also
the ambition of every Haitian to have
a pair Of shoes for Sundays and flu
nerals at least, as their possession
raises him considerably in the social
scale. If caught out with shoes on
during rain the owner usually takes
them off, puts them carefully under
his jacket and finishes the Journey

The curiously free u0e of the word
blue in old saws and sayings invent
ed by our ancestors is apt to prove
puzzling to US moderns.
Why, for instance, blue murder?'
Why not red murder" which GER
tainly seems more appropriate?
The explanation is that blue was an
GENTLY supposed to be the color of
cowardice, and to ''shout blue muir
der" therefore, came to be indicative
more Of unfounded terror than of real
danger
Similarly blue funk means a
state of utter unrcasoning and unrca-
sonable panic, and the expression a
fit of the blues. indicates that the
person SO suffering is in such depres-
sion of spirits that he is inclined to
give up weakly the struggle against
fate. And everybody knows what
blue Monday is.
