FOR SENATE INQUIRY
OF MISS WOODS CASE

Senator Jones Of Washington today
introduced in the Senate resolu-
ton providing for an investigation
by the Senate District committee OF
the case of Miss Alice Wood. the
public school teacher. who was sus-
pended for a week by the board of
education because It was alleged she
had spread bolshevik propaganda in
her classes. The resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on audit and
control.
In presenting the resolution to the
Senate. Senator Jones explained that
charges had been made that Miss Wood
was teaching bolshevism in the schools.
He had no defense to make of boil
shevism; If the charges were true, she
should have been dismissed instead of
being suspended.
1t was further charged that she was
not given proper treatment by the
board Of education. but, on the con-
trary, had been subjected to autocratic
and unfair treatment. If that was SO
1t was an instance of the practice of
bolshevism in high places. which was
worse than the teaching Of 1t. Sena-
tor Jones said he knew to a certainty
that she had been assured that the
hearing was to be informal and friend
ly, but that next day the papers came
out In headlines telling Of her sus-
pension.

The Chinese have a novel way of
propagating fish. The spawn is care
fully collected from the surface of the
water, and when a sufficient quantity
has been obtained they take a num-
Der of hens eggs, the contents Of
which have been carefully emptied
through a small aperture, and refill
the shells with spawns The holes
are sealed up and the eggs put under
the broody hens. The hens are al
lowed to incubate the eggs for GER
tain number of days, when the eggs
are again broken and their contents
put into water that has been pre-
viously warmed by the sun. In very
short time the spawn matches, and the
young fry are then kept in pure fresh
water until sufficient size to be put
into the ponds. At one time con-
siderable business was done in this
style of spawn Matching.

The ancient "dew ponds" of Eng
land have their modern counterparts
on the rock of Gibraltar, where drink
ing water is obtained by the condensa-
tion of the abundant dew in especially
prepared basins. The primitive proc
ess consists in making hollow in
the ground and filling the bottom with
dry straw, over which is placed lay
er of clay. On clear night the clay
cools very rapidly, and the dew is
condensed mot water in the basin.
The pond is improved by putting a
layer of asphalt or Portland cement
under the straw. At Gibraltar the
present practice is to use wood in.
stead of straw and sheet iron instead
Of clay.
