TEACHER QUIT TO WE'D,
SCHOOL HEAD CHARGES
Norwood Official Adds New
Element to Resignation OF
Miss Byers

Reports that Miss Adaline Byers,
who left her position as teacher in
the Norwood school when her salary
for the month of August was withheld,
is to be married soon were interpreted
yesterday by w. F. Sims, president of
the Norwood school board, as the real
reason for Miss Byers's resignation.
Miss Byers's salary for August was
withheld because she did not attend
summer school that month, the school
board contending that in this she
violated her contract. Miss Byers
maintained her contract did not obi :
gate her to attend summer school and
demanded her salary. When this was
refused, she resigned. The board would
not accept her resignation, but she left
her position last Friday.
II have since heard that Miss Byers
is soon to be married, and that prob
ably is the reason for her leaving,
Mr.. Sims said.
The school board declined to accept
Miss Byers's resignation because of the
language in which it was couched and
the reasons 1t advanced for her action,
Mr.. Sims explained.
An arrangement whereby the teach
ers of the Norwood school should at
tend summer school was agreed on at
meeting between the teachers and
the school board in April. 1918.

1t Is In velour with seal trimming
A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
IOuf ideas about coats have changed
immensely within the last few years.
Once our coat was simply the outside
brown paper wrapper in which we were
enveloped. When we arrived at tea
or reception or luncheon or dinner party
we made sort of duck for cover with
out permitting any one to stop us. In
fact, it was rather bad form to stop a
friend as she entered house where
you both met or to more than nod to
her before she had a chance to diycst
herself of her coat.
So it didn't much matter about the
coat. 1t could be just about like apy
one else's coat for that matter. And.
frankly, these winter coats of other days
We're ugly. The only time that they
had any appeal was when they were
made of beautiful fur, and then the
appeal was simply that of the pelts
themselves. AS far as design or cut
went, the coat was still rather hopeless,
But now the well dressed woman is
just as exacting when it comes to buy
ing coat as frock. Her evening
wraps are as important as her evening
frocks and frequently cost as much as
her frnrks And tha H.. .,la
in the afternoon must be a thing of
beauty in itself In the cut you may
see the sort of coat that smartly dressed
women are selecting. 1t is quite diff
ferent proposition from the heavily
built tweed coat that would be worn in
the morning over suit when winds
grew penetrating in an open motor.
And, likewise, it is quite a different
proposition from the evening coat which
is usually loose wrap of brilliant col.
oring. For afternoon the we'll dressc%
woman would choose some one of the
new brown shades or taupe or soft blue.
This model is made of velours enhanced
with rich embroidery and decorated with
rows of buttons. Seal fur is used with
something approaching lavishness on the
cuffs and collar and to trim the peplum
in the. back.

had swept everything before it. He
seemed to think normally again for the
first time in weeks. He felt as though

when he finally found himself in the
street, the thought of Julia was upper :
most He walked block after block
with his thoughts in a whirl, but even
when he finally went home and dropped
half dead with fatigue into a heavy
sleep the last thing he remembered was
the thought that Julia was lost to him

When Julia told her family that she
had decided to take up nursing, they
did not think of it seriously. In fact,
Mrs. Grant was glad of any interest
that might come into Julia's mind just
now, and she made no objections.
Lucy was frankly curious.
"why nursing?" she queried. why
don't. you do something that would
bring in lot of money? Nursing is
terribly hard. ~ ,,
Julia smiled her tired little smile
What could do that would bring IN

She did not add that the prospect
of her own little room in the hospital

THEN START THE STORY

THEY stood regarding each other, the
two of them, Nancy defiant and q
little afraid, Dan Carson stunned by
the girls attitude. He had banked
everything on her. He could recall d
hundred reasons why he had thought
that she cared for MIN. He had put
down her reluctance the other evening
when his lovemaking had become more
insistent, to her youth. Dan had known
Julia Grant, had known her well. I'm.
consciously he had formed his standards
of women from her. That a girl of
Nancy Cromwell's age could be so ad.
: mittedly firt with no finer feelings,
that she could allow man to touch
her without feeling that it meant any =
thing, was revelation to Dan.
Then you don't love me?" he said
finally.
& She shook her head slowly.
I. Z A wave of fury possessed him and he
took her by the shoulders roughly. When
she raised her head and looked at him
through her long golden lashes with the
look girl, half child and half woman,
frightened and yet understanding, his
anger passed and he was oil lover.
"Ell make you love me, Nancy -
he said passionately ''only marry me,
and you'll see."
She looked up at him then. half
proudly. "I've promised to marry Mr..
Whitmore.'
He stared at her unbelievingly.
"When?''
last night"
''How long have you known him?"
"Yon have no right to ask me these
questions, l..
= Answer me-
"Quite q WHILE ".
\ He released her So quickly that she
staggered a little. He was beginning
to understand this girl now. She was
philanderer. She had gone to his
head like wine with her pretty ways,
which were so unlike those of the girl
he had pledged himself to marry, but
there was nothing about her that was
real. She played with feeling she was
incapable of truth in it. Even now
! be doubted whether she was in love
with this man Whitmore. the nice sleek
haired boy whom he had met the other
evening.
Nancy stood before him waiting to
see what he would do. She felt like
a heroine of romance and in her foolish
little mind she had an idea that she
must lie dangerously attractive to men.
The enormity of the situation had not
occurred to her at all. She was not
sorry for Dan Carson and she did not
even think of Julia Grant. All she did
think of was herself-she had been en-
couraged all her life to do nothing else.
She could gee her small face in a
mirror opposite and she tried putting
out a tentative hand to Dan with a
murmured "I'm sorry"
''Sorry, you're not sorry. You don't
think enough to be sorry about any
thing" he flung at her. He had real
ized suddenly that there wasn't as much
disappointment in his heart as there
was hurt pride. His love for this girl
had departed when he found her inca
pable of such feeling for him. But it
was the fact that he had not made
sure before giving this girl a chance
to humiliate him as she had that
ranked. t.

FRIDAY, APRIL IS, 1919.
CHARLES A. SULZER

The death of Charles A. SulzeI
comes as a personal sorrow to every
resident of Alaska. Even his political
enemies are moved to expressions OF
grief and of sympathy with his sor'
rowing family. A man in the prime
of life, he had shown himself to be a
true Alaskan, meeting every emer-
gency with the spirit of the true pio-
neer.
Called from the prosecution OF his
personal business affairs to enter the
territorial legislature, he had shown
such marked ability and enthusiasm
in the work Of shaping the destinies
OF the infant territory that he became
the certain choice of his party for the
nomination for delegate to represent
Alaska at the national capital. With
no particular training or aptitude for
the game of politics, he made such a
splendid impression that in his first
campaign he almost overthrow his
veteran opponent, in spite Of his years
of intrenchment in the position, and
compelled that experienced politician
to extend his activities in the second
campaign, with the result that the
bel ted returns, received on the day
of is death, showed that he had been
81 @"essful.
Aere has been disposition evident

MI Sulzer with his predecessor, to
the uisparagement of the former An
unprecedented view. however, will re-
veal that Suffers work in behalf of
the territory during the year and
half that he served in the house of
representatives was of the utmost i'm
portance, and brought out qualities of
diligence, far-sightedness and grasp of
public affairs which were in the nature
OF surprise even to his friends. He
was hard worker, and there is little
doubt that the fatigue and worry con-
nected with the work of looking after
the interests of his constituents. taken
in conjunction with the immense labor
involved in fighting the contested cleo
ton case, greatly weakened his al
ready enfeebled constitution and hast
ened the end.
And in that contest case, brought
face to face with as arrant a lot of
buncombe and insincerity as ever was
laid before congress, Delegate Sulzer
made an enviable reputation. His
straightforward, manly address to the
house in refutation of the absurd
claims OF his opponent at once
stamped him as man of marked abil-
ity and conscientious public servant.

THE FIRING SQUADS AT SUNRISE

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, on his
way home from the Paris conference
which has been drafting Magma
Carta of international labor" assures
us that the workers of the United
States are building a dam between
the civilized world and Bolshevism.
1t is the intelligence of American
labor, he tells us, which fits it to
play this all important part in this
supreme crisis in the history of the
world"
These words are of salient signi-
fcance. If we can trust his sound
mes of judgment we shall have reason
for hope that anarchy will not sub
merge civilization.
Most of our hundred million people
have been resting quietly and pleas
antly on the sunny slopes of the Boil
shevist volcano. So different are con-
ditions in America from conditions in
darkest Russia or ruined Mittel
Europa that there has been little fear
Of Bolshevist revolution. The affair
in Seattle which brought defeat to
the foreigners who were trying to run
American labor is taken as an
example of the triumph of American
intelligence over imported ignorance
and anarchy. But was It?
