NO DISCIPLINE
 IN SCHOOLS
 SOVIET RUSSIA

LONDON, March 1 (Correspond- ence of the Associated Press) Pupils instead of teachers control the schools of Russia under the Bolshevik re- gime, according to two Englishmen, one of them an experienced school master, who have just returned from Russia.
 Boys and girls are herded indis- criminately, and there is no discip- line, say the Englishmen. Pupils con trol the teachers. In Kolma school a youth of Is was appointed commits sioner of the institution and was in charge of all teachers. On one occa- sion he closed the school for week as protest against the action of the master, who had reprimanded pupil.
 Should a master prove unpopular, he is promptly elected by his class. Often the master appears for class only to find his pupils engaged in a committee meeting, which must not be disturbed.
 Each class has it's committee, and usually the most popular boy repre- sents the others at the masters coun- cil. These committees not only di- rect the masters but control the dis tribution of food which is provided for the midday deal, and which is the chief cause for any school attendance at all
 Pupils do exactly as they please, walking into the class room and leav- ing it while a lesson is in progress. This is particularly true as regards lunch time, for the first to reach the dining room is the first to be served, and he usually gets the best No punishment of any kind is inflicted on the pupil, as each pupil is iiis own mentor as to right and wrong.
 No home work is set, the pupil tlo- ing all his school work during the hours set apart for each session. At tendance is not compulsory, or even regulated by rule, each one attending classes or staying away as he sees ft No marks for good work are al lowed, and consequently none for the sluggard who makes no attempt at scholastic attainment.
 The same chaotic conditions were observed by the Englishmen in the universities and other seats of higher education. Any boy of 16 many enter without qualification. Even though he may be unable to read-and all Bolshevik children have not yet at tained that dignity-he still may be- come an undergraduate, entitled to all the food and other advantages en- joyed by more advanced persons in search of such education as the de- moralized system has to offer

ADMIRAL SIMS DECLINES
 CREDIT FOR FAMOUS MOT

NEW YORK, March 20 (by maiD = Vice Admiral William s. Sims, con- mander of the American naval forces in the. war zone refuses to be known m history as the author of a laconic reply to the British naval commander who asked when the American de- stroyers sent to Queenstown to help conquer Germany would be ready to fight The famous words as attrib- uted to Vice Admiral Sims were: We can start at once We made our prep arations on the way
 What actually happened, asserts the vice admiral in letter published here, was that when the destrOyers commanded by Commander Joseph K. Taussig arrived at Queenstown after their 3,00O-mile transatlantic voyage they were in need of coaling. Admiral Bayly asked when the American ships would be ready for service, and Con- mander Taussig replied that he would be ready "as soon as his vessels could be recoaled."
 Vice Admiral Sims writes that he was at that time in Paris. He added that Commander Taussig was enc of the ablest destroyer commanders who served under me in the Atlantic f1otilla, and the reply he made to Ad- miral Bayly was exactly the renlv I would have expected him to make. I make no claim to having made use of any epigramatical expression on this occasion"

HEN HELPS LIQUOR SEARCH
Scratched Up a Bottle Of Whisky at
Bangor, Me-, While Dep
titles Looked on.

Bangor, Me.,-Other towns have
hens that lay big eggs, but Bangor has
a few biddies that, it would seem, lay
quart bottles of whisky.
Sheriff Fernandez and his deputies
are trying to find out who owns these
remarkable hens, but thus far all they
know is that the hen has its habitat
in a yard in Pine street. Deputies
King and Noddin went up there brows-
ing around for the staff and stood ad-
miring the handsome biddies scratch
ing In the straw Of their i~nclosure.
There seemed to be an unusually
liberal supply of straw. Rum hounds
notice these little things. One hen
was particularly active and energetic
in her scratching, and presently she
uncovered, right where one would look
for eggs, a quart bottle of whisky
worth in these dusty days at least $40.
Then the deputies took a turn at
scratching in the straw and uncover
ed "a more bottles. They are whistling
a new tune around>the county jail now,

this fruit that dishes whose founda-

SpeCtiOn OF the royal stables at Lack
en- when the hundred or more ami
mails were attended by court veteri-
narians and often gave the most ex-
perienced attendants instructions as
to proper treatment. Havana grit
TONS are her favorite dogs and two
of them usually stand guard In the
royal drawing room.
Queen Elizabeth's charity is said
by the Belgians to be literally I'M
bounded. Many a poor. struggling
artist at the opera in Brussels Is said
to have benefited from her generos-
ity without being aware of the fact,
for her gifts are usually made anon
ymously.
An instance of the Queens kind
heartedness Is related by the town
folk Of Laeken. One cold, rainy
morning before the war, the Queen
was driving along the Avenue de la
RENE. when she saw a poor old
woman, scantily clad, walking along.
The Queen got out of her car, step
ped over to the woman n asked
her If she was not cold. Receiving
an affirmative reply, Elizabeth took
off her own waterproof and placed 1t
over the old woman's back. Then,
taking out her purse, she gave her
several gold coins, and took her ad-
dress SO that she might continue her
beneVolence. Many Incident or this
type have long since endeared the
Queen to the people Of Belgium.
Intensely practical. Queen Eliza
beth has sought to educate her peo-
pie in domestic economy and other
useful arts. She founded a training
school for cooks in Brussels on the
lines of a university. with a three
years course and an honor class.
Liberal prizes were offered by the
Queen to the students who invented
new dishes. The students were from
all classes of society, working girls,
social butterflies and intellectuals.
The Queen Is an expert cook her
self, and frequently called at the
school to advise the teachers and
watch the progress Of the students.
Among her numerous charities. not
the least Is the Albert Elizabeth Dis
pensary in Brussels which the King
and Queen established and have sup
ported for years.
