Harold w. Haskins Passes Examination
Before Local Exemption Board, But
School Directors Will Appeal.


Harold w. Haskins was in Woodstock
yesterday, passed the physical examina.
ton before the exemption board, and filed
no claim. He is beginning his third year
as principal of Whtcomb high school, has
been very successful teacher and adj
ministrator and his place at this season
could scarcely be filled adequately. He
has nine teachers and 270 pupils under
his care, The local school committee will
file claim for exemption with the dis
trict board on the ground that his serv-
ices are much needed here and that his
place would be hard to fill.

BAGS OF SALT USED TO
CHEAT WEATHER MAN

A duelling scene had to be taken in
the new William Fox super de luxe
photodrama of Her Greatest Love.
For many days Director J. Gordon Ed
wards had ben waiting for heavy
snowfall to get the desired atmosphere,
The principals involved were Walter
Law, who played the part of william
Gus Russian prince, and Glenn White
a nonchalant but heroic English lord.
Other scenes were taken and dispos-
ed of by Director Edwards, but no
snow for the duel. Several exterior
scenes had to be taken in Florida, and
the TINT drew near for the company to
leave for the South.
At last Director Edwards could wait
no longer. He ordered one hundred
bags of salt at $500 bag, and had it
scattered on the ground, in addition to
several pounds of cotton, which was
placed on the fir trees. An entire morn
ing was used to arrange the scene, and
that afternoon the duel went off as per
schedule. The only difference was when
Walter Law Topped into the salt, face
downwards, he tasted the salt instead
of the cooling snow. The scene was
finished after the several retakes and
the episode closed.
That night there was heavy snow
fall.

the statue of Liberty in New York
harbor. 1t is striking, however, and
even sensational, planted here in this
tropical garden, at a commanding point
overlooking a vast area, and in pose
expressive of imperial conquest.
Passing out of the palace one of the
visiting officers noted the tall orna-
mental lampposts lighting the way of
the entrance They we're apparently
of bronze, but as the officer struch
his cane on one of these richly carved
posts it did not give back the ring
of the bronze. And on closer ex-
animation the officers artistic taste
was greatly shocked to find that these
elaborate lights at the very entrance
of the Emperor's palace were Of some
Ease metal colored to initiate bronze.
AS the party withdrew, it was OBJ
served that the military automobile
which had brought us up the steep
ascent. bore on its doors the imperial
crest of Emperor William. This was
but one of the many accessories of his
summer place which had now passed
out of his hands. While it was only
an automobile, yet it seemed to be
typical of the extent to which this
imperial disaster had become personal
to the Emperor-not only lost colonies
and palaces, like this summer play
thing symbolizing Achilles, but even
the automobile with the Hohenzollern
arms-now passed beyond his reach,

or temple, or museum. Immediately
u the right was the royal chapel, with
the large fresco of Munkascy's Christ
before plate" back of the altar. By
an ingenious electrical contrivance a
flood of light could be turned on to
the central figpres of the fresco, Civ
ing them a sort of luminuos and liv-
ing effect, almost as in a cinema,
though it seemed queer contrivance
for a chapel. One could hear a MUIR
mur or ''boche" run among the visit
ors indicating their view that van
dial hand had put together this mass
of fresco effect.
Elaborate frescos and MIRRORS cover
ed the ceilings and side wall of the
state dining room. The subjects were
always drawn from Greek antiquity,
but the figures of dancing nymphs and
fawns looked rather heavy as though
they were the big-limbed people of
the north instead of the fine and deli
cate creatures of legendary Greece.
The Grand stairway was of marble,
with black iron balustrade wrought
into curious shapes showing the Ger
man imperial eagles. This grand
stairway runs up three stories, through
garish yellow wall covered with
strange frescoes and painted mirrors.
These painted birds and vines on mir
rors we're pointed out by some of the
visitors as an anachronism of art.
The huge painting of Triumph of
Achilles" occupies the post of honor
at the top of the grand STAIRCASE. 1t
is one of those striking pictures, full
q life and movement, like Carl Mel
chers' war" in the Congressional
library at Washington, and showing
the same straining horses and men
pushing forward to the combat. Ae-
hilles is shown in full panoply Of war,
driving his chariot wheel, with the
rabble bowling at the spectacle. Art

Observation-Disclosures.

The marriage of Miss Rosa Lee Kas-
sci, of Americas, and Mr. Nathan
Friedlander, of Moultrie, Ca, was
solemnized at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. B. S. Kassel, on

ninth.
The house was beautifully decorated
with palms and cut flowers.
The bride was attended by her sister,

The palace garden is, however, the
really remarkable feature of this estab-
lishment. N originality beauty and
extent it is probably one of the finest
garden in the world The unique
feature is the strict adherence to the
standards of legendary Greece, max
ing one feel as though transported into
some fairylike precinct of the dim
past At every hand are marble and
bronze statues of the old deities, heroes
and muses.. The palace entrance to the
gardens is formed by a wide Ionic
colonnade where the imperial family
used to pass their evenings. Nearby
is the garden of muses., with heroic
marble column One looks through

These gardens are continued one
after another in terraces running down
to the sea. Each has its distinctive
feature. Some are lined with beauti-
fully wrought marble balustrades.
others are g. wild tangle of giant
palms. with trunks three feet in di-
ameter, or of flower beds laid out like
the pavement of temple. In one of
these gardens is the chief art treasure,
the Dying Achilles" showing the
hero in the death struggle with the
arrow in his heel. One turns from the
artistic merit of this statue, which is
conceded by all critics, to pe the colos-
sal bronze of Achilles notable chiefly
for size and condemned by most critics.
This colossus rises ONE thirty feet
above the base and sort of modern
rival to the Colossus Of Rhodes or

CHRYSANTHEMUM CLUB
NEID DELIGHTFUL MEETING.

A delightful meeting of the Chrysan-

noon at the home of Mrs. Frank Har-

Mrs. Ida Ross as joint hostesses.
After interesting discussions on chry-
anthemum culture, most enjoyable
program was rendered, not the least

Mrs. Cloyd Buchanan, who rendered
two solos. In the guessing contest all
present tied, and in the drawing Mrs
