Pupils Make Thrift Record

According to the latest survey of the thrift stamps and baby bonds in the possession of the pupils of the high school, MT. Cook, the principal, reports that thrift stamps have been purchased to the amount of s703. And baby bonds to the amount of s3,415. A total of s4,11S worth of bonds and stamps purchased.
 As compared to the above total, the total of the bonds that have been pledged by the pupils will make the mere sum of S4,11S look like a drop in the bucket.
 The method the school is using to encourage, the saving of money and the buying of war bonds has been to or ganize thrift societies of the various English classes. The requirements for membership are to pledge a certain amount for thrift stamps and to keep the pledge.

$10O,0OO ESTATE
 LEFT BY A PORTER
(New York World)


 Every now and thenNa man dies in New York leaving a fortune well in the six figures. despite the fact that he was employed in some humble. capacity all his life. Only a short time ago a head porter at the Hotel Me Alpin left an estate of more than s100,000 to his four daughters. Why a man with S100,000 should cling to his job as a porter in a hotel is a mystery to the majority of people. But it is no mystery to the head porter in any of the big metropolitan hotels. From the money making standpoint. the head porter's job is often the most desir- able berth in such an establishment
 What is a head porter's actual sal ary in a big New York hotel? Less than S100 a month if he is paid sal- ary at all In many of the big hotels he does not appear on the pay roll at all. But head porters do not accumu- late fortunes of s100,000 by saving their salaries. Tips swell their earnings to amazing amounts. Which means that the scheme of the modern hotel is to make the guests pay for service
 ? Looking after the incoming and out going baggage. which is the principal duty of head porter, is not his only graft" Buying railway tickets and securing Pullman accommodations is an important feature of his routine. A large proportion of the out town guests at the more important New York hotels leave this detail to the head porter, and while his commission is nominally but 50 cents or s1, his tips are usually much larger.
 Lower berths and sections on the fast trains are often in great demand and the head porter who can produce the desired accommodation at the last moment is well rewarded. Five-dollal tips are so common that they do not attract attention. And when guests arrive or leave with fifteen or twenty pieces of baggage-as Is not at all un- usual at the smart Fifth avenue hotel. -$10 and even s20 tips are the rule rather than the exception.

Take Up Outdoor Dancino

As a light form of recreation to pass away the idle noon hour, or at least that part of the hour that is not used for eating purposes, many of the boys and girls are dancing upon the cement square in front of the aditorium.
 At first, skating was used as the idle hour chaser, but the girls, less used to such exciting amusement, did not take to 1t like torpedo to water, so out door dancing came into being. The high school military band, with char acteristic sounds, is utilized to furnish appropriate dance music for the cere- mony.
