may be varied by different flavors
Warm but do not melt half cupful of
butter and add gradually a cupful OF
pulverized sugar, then fold in the
whites of two eggs beaten stiff. Flavor
with the juice of lemon and two tea.

made by using the same amount OF
sugar with the white of one egg and

county is favorable to concrete
bridge, as expressed in resolution
adopted at meeting Of county road
men in Dallas on October 2S last.
This meeting, attended by represen-
tatives Of every road district in the
county, urged the county court of
Polk county to use its efforts to Sc
cure high level concrete bridge
across the river in the following res
olution:
"Be it resolved, that it is the sense
of this meeting that the Polk county
court be instructed to use its endeav-
ors for the construction of an inter
county bridge of the high level con-
crete type between Salem and Polk
county"
After the type of bridge has been
decided upon and contracts made fol
its erection, no time will be lost in the
preliminary work attendant to such
large undertaking. Judge Kirkpat-
rick in an interview yesterday stated
that he expected to see active con-
struction work on the new bridge by
the latter part Of May. It is esti-
mated that it will require approx
mately IL months to complete the new
bridge after actual construction work
begins.

SAMPSON GIVEN $500
VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF IN AU-
ToMOBILE ACCIDENT CASE.
jury Out Hour and Half; Case Arous-
es Much Interest and Draws
Crowded Court Room.

Verdict for the plaintiff in the
sum of $500" was the finding of the
jury in the Sampson versus Hartung
case. The case went to the jury at
8 O'Clock Wednesday night and the
verdict was reached at 1910.
Questions of damages due for al
legged injuries to A. Sampson when
he was struck by a car in charge
of Charles Hartung in Falls City
June 2 were argued all day Tuesday
and Wednesday by W. c. Winslow
and Walter Tooze for the plaintiff
and Oscar Hayter and Robert Krea.
son for the defendant.
Mr.. Simpsons case as presented
to the jury by Attorney Tooze show
ed that the plaintiff was struck by
an automobile driven by Emerson
Wonderly, an inexperienced driver.
He argued that Sampson was en-
titled to recover because of the neg
ligence of the driver with not con-
tributory negligence on the part of
Sampson and that Charles Hartung
was liable because he was in charge
Of the car. These were the main is
sues.
Defendants counsel claimed con-
tributory negligence on the part OF
Sampson. Mr.. Hayter's version Of
the accident was: "Young Wonder
ly drove up the Falls City street, saw
Sampson about ready to cross the
street some 80 feet in front Of the
car and thought Sampson would gel
out of the way; when he got a little
closer he sounded the horn; Sampson
heard the horn when he was about
two steps out from the curb, stop
ped, looked up and stepped back
toward the curb; then the driver turn
ed the car toward the center of thu
street and if Sampson had not chang
ed his mind, with safety a few fee
away, and attempted to cross thu
. street, no aeident would have occur
ed"
The other main issue, who was IL
charge of the car, was handled b,
the defense as follows: "Hartung wa
not in charge of the car; he gave nj
instructions whatever to the boy drlv
ing; the boy had taken charge OF tn
car May 20; young Wonderly wa
experienced enough for ordinary driv
ing but this was out Of the ordinary
that the relation of carrier and pas
senger existed between Wonderly an
|Hartung and therefore that Hartun
was not liable" They also shove
that there had been consideration
three gallons of gasoline. The df
fense claimed car was going abou
seven miles an hour and the plalntl
claimed 20; the Falls City ordinane
; forbids a greater speed than 10.
The court room was well file
throughout the trial; over a hundre
people were on hand at the openin
session. The plaintiff sued for SAL
but the jury awarded $500.

POLK NEEDS TEACHERS
EDUCATOR PRAISES SCHOOLS
BUT POINTS OUT NEED.
Trained Teachers and Savings System
in Connection With Schools Are
Pet Hobbies of Mr.. Bonney.

"Better teachers is the crying
need of the Polk county school sys-
tenn, according to Clyde I. Bonney,
county school superintendent of Was
co county.
Polk county has more standard
schools than any county in the state.
H. c. Seymour, state leader Of boys
and girls club work at Oregon Agri-
cultural college, was the pioneer in
the Standardization movement in Ore
gon. Until recently he was superin-
tendent of Polk county schools.
Mr.. Bonney was loud in his praise
of Fred G. Crowley, county superin-
tendent and Floyd d. Moore, super
visor. "Your school men here are
efficient; they have the county divided
into seven zones and each Saturday
teachers and representative students
from the different grades meet with
the supervisor and superintendent and
demonstrate the work for each grade.
Mr.. Crowley and Mr.. Moore have de-
vised plan whereby they are able to
visit every school in the county a.
least once in two weeks. What they
need to put Polk county at the top
Of the school list is good teachers.
Bridgeport, the model one-room rtfr-
al school house for the whole Uni
ted States, was shown Mr.. Bonney.
Ernest Jensen, Portland decorator,
made model Of the Bridgeport school
and it was sent as part Of the Ore
gon educational exhibit to the San
Francisco exposition last year. A
member Of the department Of educa-
ton at Washington, d. G., declared
| it to be the best in the country.
Wasco county schools under Mr..
Bonney lead the state in employing an
efficient teaching force. Mr.. Bonney
left Tuesday for Monmouth, where he
will inspect the work Of the training
school there and select 20 teachers for
next year. He makes this trip TO
Monmouth each year and gets the
pick of the students. The high school
training course for teachers is one
of the curses of the Oregon school
system according to Mr.. Bonney. 1T
lis foolhardy to allow student just
out of high school to take charge OF
a group Of children. Teachers may
be born teachers but give me the
. young person without this innate
blessing if they have had thorough
training at good normal school. =
Mr.. Bonney is interested in a bill
which Mrs. Alexander Thompson Of
The Dalles will introduce at the leg
islature this session. The bill pro-
poses to make the county school su-
perintendent a member of q new
county school board, thus giving hin
voice in the selection of teachers.
The committee which plans state
\ wide savings bank system in connec
ton with schools has asked Mr.. Bon
: ney to meet with it in May. Wasc'
county is alone in Oregon in hayinl
this system in connection with all il
: schools. Several cities have installe'
the system but they are all modele'
after Mr.. Bonney's idea. Mr.. Bonne'
is confident that the bankers com
: -Imittee will prescribe the saving
bank to be connected with all orego
. schools.
