HARTFORD HIGH MAY
BE CUT OFF LIST
Too Much Rivalry Between Two
Schools May Result in SuSpcn-
sion of Athletics.

Action in the much discussed con-
troversy over Hartford New Britain
High school athletics will probably
be taken sometime this week. Prin-
cipal Louis p. Slade of the local
school announced this morning that
he will call upon Mr.. Hyde, principal
of the capital city High school, and
discuss the matter, during the COM
ing week, and while he was unable
to say whether athletics between the
two schools would be dropped in the
future, he did not deny that such &C
ton was a possibility.
For some time past, games between
the local school and the Hartford
school have created consid bic
feeling and in the last game of
basketball, played in this city, jan
uary 81, several near riots took place
on the gym floor. To prevent a repe-
titiOn of this action, it is probable
that the principals will cancel tho
game scheduled to be played in Hart
ford on March "A. Mr.. Slade said
this morning that the local school
authorities do not favor the kind of
game played by Hartford in the past
few years.
j is said that athletic relations
have already been severed between
Hartford High school and LOOMS IN
stitute, for reasons the same as those
which are now being discussed by the
local school authorities.

Then began a second march over

old Landstrum men did not face this
trial and were taken prisoners by
the WallaC hans. who sent them back
over the mountains into Rumania.
Several divisions succeeded in buying

Vienna. With the divisional money
chest plundered of its contents by
Magyars, the 89th infantry division
reached German Austrian SOIL

AS a result Of a series Of incidents

AS a result of a series of incidents
relations between Switzerland and the
Soviet government of Russia have
been strained for some time. In
January it was announced at Moscow
that Swiss subjects il Russia, would
be held in Jail until Switzerland had
agreed to receive a Russian envoy.
There is no evidence that the mem
bers of the Swiss legation were
placed under arrest however, and 1t
was announced early this month that
they would be permitted to leave Rus
STA. The granting of free passage to
the Swiss legation staff probably
marks the final step in the contro-
NerSy.

Must Attend School.
Many Children Out of School
During Winter.

No little commotion was caused last
week among patrons of Catoctin Furnace
and Blue Mountain public schools when
twenty or more families were summoned
to appear before Justice Cadow of this
place, on complaint made by school at
tendance officer, Franklin Harshman.
The reports sent to the School Board
by Miss Edith Brown, teacher at Blue
Mountain School, and by Mr.. Howard
Bussard and Miss Lillian Kelly, teachers
at Catoctin, showed that many children
enrolled were not attending school, one
being present but IS days during the
school year to April LIST.
Under the law every child is requested
to make at least 100 days if its health
permits.
1t is we'll known that due to the Flu
schools were closed last fall, but since
January LIST there has been no epidemic
or special reason for children staying
away from school.
Some of the reasons given by parents
for their children not being in school
were, that the teacher told their child to
go home and stay home, some had to
help wash, some pasture cattle, some
were sick or had sick brothers or sisters
some no clothes and several fathers had
no excuse whatever.
The persons before Justice Cadow
last Friday, were VIM. Brice, Charles
Rothenheffer, ]. N. Carbaugh, Chas.
Shook, Chas. Staub, Sam'l Domer, Al
bert Snuff, Baker Anders. Bdw. Nune-
maker, VIM. Sweeney, Emanuel Fuss,
Jas. Brice, Ross Wolfe, Chas. Martin
and Frank Shsffer. A number of per-
sons summoned were not present and
their cases will come up later.
In all but two of the cases heard the
parents were fined $l.00, the minimum
fine, and costs. All were cautioned by
both Mr. Harshman and Justice Cadow
to send their children to school regularly.
In case the children remain out of school
heavier penalties will be imposed.
