Canada is following the example OF
the United States in setting aside tracts
of her Rocky mountain region as per.
mancnf Fairgrounds for the people,
Tie latest OF these IS Jasper park, fur
up In the Wild Northwest. whore The
play is still too rough to attract any
great hordcs of urban dWellers, but
which Is one OF the most beautiful bits
OF mountain scenery in the world. The
building OF the Grand Trunk Pacific
railroad had n good deal TO do with the
setting aside Of Jasper park.
In jasper parl. they have fenced In
the highest mountain In Canada, an i'm
mcnsc tract of virgin forest and hill
country, a miscellaneous assortment Of
nameless glaciers of various sizes, half
n dozen big trout streams and mum
herless little green valleys TINT look as
though they were laid out by land
scnpe gardener. That the park Is still
difficult OF access and calls for pioneer
Ing methods in It's exploration IS only
another recommendation Ia the eyes
of the lover of the out-of-doors. Here
also certain important rivers take
humble start in life--such prominent
streams rs The Saskatchewan and the

EXEMPTION CLAIMS FOR
 EFFICIENT MALE TEACHERS

School boards and committees throughout the state have been ur- gently requested by the Connecticut State Council of Defense to make claims for draft exemption on behalf of efficient male teachers, whose laSs through the operation of the selective service law would act to the detri- ment of educational standards. De- fense council resolutions of similar import to those which led to this ac- ton were also sent to Provost Mar shal General Crowder and to all dis trict exemption boards in the state. The action of the defense council is in full accord with the wishes and pol icy of Federal Comm issioner of Edu- cation P. P. ClaXten. who urged the proceeding with the consent of Gen efal Crowder.
 The resolutions of the defense coun- Gil emphasized the fact that many male teachers have hesitated to claim draft exemption on occupationai grounds despite the facts that Pres ident Wilson has repeatedly urged the maintenance of educational standards uIliEnpaired, and that the experiences of the countries allied with the Unit ed States have shown that the reterl ton of a proper proportion of male ICeIC4iSA5 A0 dOSOAuIClS 4lcCc-Sod1 S | nS defense council pointed out that as a result of the war the number of male teachers in Connecticut's secondary schools has shown & consistent and steady decline. This, it was said, is a situation much to be deplored be e- cause of the fact that large num- Der of male teachers are necessary for purposes of discipline, and be- cause of the fact. that they remain n the teaching profession more perna nently than women.

WOMAN ESCAPES FROM
 NEW LONDON JAIL

Alice Skinner, aged 2S years. de- seribed by the county police officials as clever sneak thief and burglar, made her escape from the New Lon don jail in Franklin street Wednesday morning. and she is being sought by the police in that city and the nearby towns When she left the Jail she wore blue one-piece dress with light black coat and black straw hat
 The woman was arrested in Ston- ington several weeks ago on a charge of breaking and entering and stealing from several houses. At the hearing before the borough court she refused to say anything about herself and she displayed every indication of being familiar with court proceedings, lead ing the officials tc believe she was a professional operator in the sneak thieving game. She was committed to jail for d term of 40 days and her time was within a few days of com pietion when she made her escape.
 The jail officials informed the police that the woman was employed in the kitchen and was considered the trusty class. Shortly after o'clock she was engaged at ironing and during the temporary absence of the matron from the room the prisoner slipped into the hall, donning the coat and hat belong ing to the matron, and then walked out into the yard and. the etreet.
