The Danes, being fond OF beauty, make

are not under the control OF the govern

Every city in France. however has a
municipal market where stalls are rented
TO the farmers at a nominal figure and
where the city government controls the
prices Of products and keeps close watch

These markets tend 70 keep down
prices as every one viii flock to them for
supplies if other dealers charge unreason-

wholesale auction markets. which operate
TO discourage speculation in food stuffs.
The Europeans are more simple peo-

man corners the market by buying up the
whole supply as would probably be the
case if such a plan were tried in the

Old School Board Just
Determined No One Will
Regret Seeing II Pass

The principal Of a Detroit school ut
tered an "unpatriotic" remark.
Yes, sir; School Inspector Reinhold
SAYS he did-told teacher he did.
The principal Reinhold has told on is
]. Remsen Bishop, of the Eastern high
school. and what he said-what lnspec-
tor Reinhold tells teacher he said-was:
~ would like to XIII all Germans"
"Mr. Bishop Reinhold got up to re-
mark at the last meeting of the class
in the board of education building, rs
not fit man for his position. There he
is. in the heart of a German settlement,
making fine speeches like that for school
children to hear, especially in a German
settlement. ! want him referred back 10
the committee. have right TO get him
in there and ask him what he means.
1t seems the school board had engaged
Principal Bishop, along with Benjamin
f. Comfort. Of Cass Techgical school, for
another term, before Inspector Reinhold,
with an ak for Bishop, and Inspector Al
bert Hely, with a personal matter to set
tie with Comfort, sensed what was tax
ing place.
They demanded a reconsideration,
Reinhold for the reason stated in Bish-
ops case, and Hely wanting to ascertain
from Principal Comfort what he meant
by telling a newspaper reporter that
Hely has a personal grudge against rim
because he was instrumental in the loss
of their jobs by a scrubwoman and a
janitor Hely had appointed.
The board voted TO reconsider. and
when the teachers committee holds It's
next meeting, Inspectors Reinhold and
Hely will get up and break the intense
silence in the room by demanding, with
the sternness of executioners:
Bring in the culprits and let US at
'ern."
And the two principals, feeling not
unlike many boy has felt, or felt he
was going to feel, will come in with
hangdog looks, toe a mark, place their
hands behind them and face the music.
UNLESS
School Inspector Reinhold should hap
pen to take a tumble to himself in the
meantime and realize that his own re-
marks in the board of education were
much more out of place than the re-
marks he attributes to Principal Bishop.
We move, that Inspector Reinhold be
sentenced to spend an evening with
geography in which he will find nothing
to indicate that there is German set
Element" in Detroit.
We would next refer the Inspector TO
President Wilson's Flag Day" speech,
in which the president went Principal
Bishop one better, indicating that before
the fight for democracy has been won,
many Germans WILL HAVE BEEN
killed.
Inspector Reinhold doesn't appear to
have heard about it, of course, but Ger
mans" in Detroit are few and far be-
tween.
Consequently, he does not follow the
remark of Principal Bishop.

Five-Day Meeting at the Exposition

Miles in record time are promised
at the race meeting of the Eastern
States Exposition and Dairy Show at
Springfield, Mass, from October IL
to TO- The track mark is zoo IA.
There are already entries Of horses
which are capable of beating that
figure and more are likely to come. for
this will be about the last chance Of
the season for the drivers to show
what they have developed through the
summer. Also the $4,000 in purses
Is big attraction
Doubling the purse in the Free-ror-
All pace to $1,000 has proved popular.
There are a lot Of free-for-allers in
the east just now and the pick Of
these win surely face the starter

big money events are the 2.23 trot, the

Oil From Shark Llvers.

Shark livers are used with those Of
the so-called "dogfsh" for the extrac-
ton Of an inferior grade of Oil, which
is employed principally as an applica-
ton to fishermen's boats and other
wood exposed to the water. The oil
has a decidedly strong odor. 1t is
sold locally in four-gallon tins at an
average price of $1.3O per tin. 1t has
not been discovered that the skin Of
the shark is used to any extent. In q
dried form it has small sale for use
in polishing or smoothing wood.
