MAY FIX TEACHERS SALARIES

c. O. Case, state superin ten dent of public instruction, Oec. 11th) said he would within a few days, call upon Attorney Gen. eral Jones for an opinion whe- ther boards of supervisors are bound by maximum or minimum salaries to be paid to school teachers.
 Superintendent Case has been insiStent that some means must be found of raising teachers salaries, pointing to many vac ancies already existing, espe- cially in rural schools.
 The attorney general said his opinion, if asked, would be that boards of supervisors were not bound by maximums or mini nuns, but were allowed the ex- ercise of their own discretion in fixing salaries.

Attorney General Wiley E. Jones has announced that he is
 preparing to send to county at
 torneys throughout the state specific instructions On how to proceed with prosecutions of protiteers under the federal sta

Pope to Deliver
 Secret All0cutiOn

Rome, Dec. 15.-In a secret con- sistery court to be held on Mon- day, Pope Benedict will deliver an allocution which it is reported will not be published altho the Vatican authorities assert that it will not contain any important statements. The pope, it is declared, merely wishes to return to the ancient practice of the church, under which ccnsistorial allocutions generally were not published, except when the pontiff considered it advisable for some special reason.
 Ephoca says the allocution will deal with the recent peace treat ies and also negotiations between the Holy See and certain coun- tries for the re-establishment of diplomatic relations, principally France.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chiacgo, Dec. 15.-Strength developed in the corn market today owing large ly to Il notable advance In sterling cA- change. The close was firm, 7.Sc to 5-Sc net higher with January 1.36 ana May 1.32 7-S to 1.33. Oats gained l 70 1-2c. In provisions the outcome varied from 12c decline to a rise of 3Oc.
 Upward swings of the corn market showed their greatest force around the opening and the close. especially, during the last fifteen minutes. Liberal receipts and q prediction that the crop movement would increase were more or less responsible. A dip followed an nounccmcnt that wartime prohibition wolnd increase were more or less re- sponsiblc. A dip followed announce. ment that war time prohibition would stand. Then tho rising tendency of the market became again apparent and was continuous to the end of the ses sion.
 Oats were strengthened by the short age of feed barley In the northwest, and by the sharp reduction of the amount of acreage devoted to wheat and rye.
 Provisions averaged higher.

unauthorized registration. the legitimate owner of trade mark is virtually excluded from the Brazilian market, because any ar ticle bearing his mark is subject upon arrival to confiscation by the person holding the registration. Recovery of the trade mark by the legitimate owner may be regain ed only upon such terms as the holder dictates. Scores of we'll known American trade marks have been registered here during the last few weeks, many of them undoubtedly without the knowl- edge or authorization of the own ers." fe
 The principal changes urged in the present laws are that Rio de Janeiro be made the central bu- reau for registrations for all Bra gil, and that the time in which suit may be brought against un- authorized holders of trade marks be extended from six months tc two years.

Americans Told
 to Have Copyrights Registered Abroad

Rio de Janeiro, Dec. 15.-Amer- ican merchants and manufacturers doing business in Brazil are advis- ed by the American Chamber of Commerce for Brazil to lose no time in having their trade marks registered in this country. For several months the American Chamber of Commerce has been working to secure changes in Bra. gillian trade mark laws which are declared to be burdensome and unsatisfactory to foreign commer- cial interests.
 Recent wholesale appropriation of American trade marks, thru local registration by unauthoriz- ed persons has given impetus to the movement. A series of rec concentrations drafted by the. Am. erican Chamber seeking to remedy the present situation have beer approved by the powerful semi. official Commercial association of Rio de Janeiro and are now before congress for action.
 Explaining the situation, an of ficial of the American chamber said to the Associated Press cor respondent:
 "As the law now stands, foreign trade marks, in order to secure protection for exclusive use in Brazil must be recorded, deposit. ed and published not only in the federal capital, but also in each o1 the 21 states. Court decisions indicate that ownership is based on registration, and six months after registration ownership be comes indontestible. Ill cases o1

Arrived at ANew Place in the
 Roads

From childhood l have known that it is sweet joy to do things you shouldn't do, or things that you are forbidden to do, when you throw all care to the winds and plunge into the doing of them with reckless abandon. Such was my mood that afternoon when l rode on. I knew full well that 'Crittenden was fuming at home, waiting for me to come. l sus- pected he had made his daily trip to daddy's room, seeking admit tance and had found me gone. El- len, of course, had told him 1 was riding. I suspected, too, that he would pace up and down, up and down till I returned.
 And I did not care whether he liked it or not. I had reached the point where I was absolutely in different. I had arrived at 2 place in the road, a new place, where I should sit down and rest or go on, just as l pleased.
 1 should go home at o'clock in the afternoon or at 5 if 1t pleased me. If neither hour suited my pleasure, then I should go home at 6 or later. Nevermore l con cluded, should I rush homeward, there to await the coming of my lord and master. I was glad that I had arrived at the new place in the road.
 saw Crittenden at the window of the living room when l rode up and tossed the reins to John who was waiting. For a mo- ment I talked to John, telling him of a new gait Pegasus had de- fveloped, and then sauntered into

"You wouldn't dare" His face was a mixture of rage and unbe- lief. He was astonished at the new Bess he had found.
 :'Wouldn't I?" I countered "You dare lots of things"
 "Well, Pm your husband"

 "fcu regret the fact, I sup pose?" he sneered.
 "I haven't said so-yet."
 ~And if you did, by heavens, it would be the last time," he said, menacingly.

 1 was as deliberately mocking as I could be. I did not enjoy a quarrel, but now.I did my share ifi it. :"
 l saw his strong hands open- ing and shutting and he moved his feet nervously, all sure signs that he was wrought up to high pitch. But I did not fear him. For l felt that my conduct had been such as to mystify him, and when a man is mystified and amazed, he usually is harmless.
 Crittenden said nothing more to me. but as l stood there, indiffer- ently locking at him, smile on my face, but meaningless to him, he ran his fingers thru his hair and shook his head.
 John came to the door and an- nounced dinner.
 "Ccme," said Crittenden, stand- ing aside for me to precede him to the dining room.
 "No," l said. q shall have FL len bring my dinner to my room." Monday-A Disorderly Retreat.
