Although the Salem schools have Op-
Grated during the past year against
the most serious handieaps ever known,
the end of the season finds them in a
most gratifying position as regards or
ganization, equipment and efficiency
largely the result Of the system devel-
oped by Superintendent Todd to bring
the schools abreast Of the times.
From the mechanical department Of
the high school. which year ago was
looked upon as a preearious innovation
under the Smith Hughes act, comes a
very creditable report Professor Berg
man, the instructor in charge, shows
that up to May LIST the machine shop
had turned out total of COLL pieces
Of work and parts of machinery, bring
ing into the shop the amount Of $50
The figures for May and June will
probably bring this total up to $1,000
or more. If the school had purchased
these materials simply for instruction.
al work they would have created an
expense of over $1,000; so that in a
sense the school is to be credited with
more than $4,000 from this source.
There have been three shop classes
with an enrolment of "a; one class
occupying three hours in the morning,
and the two afternoon classes taking
one and one half hours each. In addi-
ton to custom work on machine parts
they have overhauled bicycles, motor
cycles and automobiles of various
makes, and done odd jobs of repairing
for various firms in the city. The con-
trolling aim has been to give the stu
dents an experience as nearly as posi-.
BILE in line with the work ordinarily
done in custom shop.
Domestic Science Work
In the domestic science department
under the direction of Miss Gertrude
Purinton there have been go pupils en-
gagged in the two branches of cooking
and sewing. In the cooking department
the young ladies have received a mosi
practical training in nutritive values
food preparation and daintiness in ia
BILE service. The actual value. of this
training has been demonstrated Dolly

THREE CANDIDATES
after MAYORS JOB
Otto ]. Wilson, W "A. West
And DR.. F. H., Utter In
Race For Office.

Now that Mayor G. Il. Albin has
signified his intention Of resigning at
the meeting OF the city council next
Monday night the political pot is
boiling, all over the question as to
his successor.
Already three Of the counc1men have
thrown their hats in the ring, or their
friends have done the throwing for
them. First to be mentioned when it
was known that mayor would have
to be elected by the council was Otto
j. Wilson, present alderman from the
third ward
Mr.. Wilson is on old timer in mat
ters of city business. Before his last
election to the present term of four
years, he had served two terms on
the council, first with Mayor Harley
o. White and then with Mayor Walter
E. Keyes.
W. A. West is known to be a re.
ceptive candidate. While not making
an effort TO sit in the mayor chair,
it is known that he is not averse to
holding down the job. He has had
about one year s experience in city
affairs as councilman from the sixth
ward and has taken an active part
in all important matters coming up be-
fore the council Mr.. West has been
admitted to the bar, aud is now as.
sisiant clerk Of the Supreme Court.
DR.. p. H. Utter has also thrown
his hal ia the ring. He is now council
man from the second ward and was
elected for the four year term He
IS chairman Of the health and police
committee, and as such, has been active
/ in the city's affairs since taking office
January of this year.
With the three couneilmen as re-
cepiiye candidates for Mr.. Aibin 5 job
there has been a suggestion that the
council might name as mayor some man
who is not a member Of the council
The suggestion has also been made that
the Commercial club. acting through
the Business Men > League, should pre-
sent the names OF two or three rep
resentative business men and then havl
the council elect one as mayor.
There IS also 5 probability that Aith
in a few months there may be othe
changes in the city council through
designations and through removals fr0B

scented his resignation az the last meet

Every day brought some new affair, dis
sipation or extravaganza in the life of the
lovely, lively Mrs. Atherton.
In 1909 Major John Alexander Stirling,
laird of Kippendavie, wealthy officer of
the Scots Guards, brought a divorce suit
against his exquisitely pretty American
wife, naming Lord Northland as core
spondent Strings wife was an American
actress, Clara Elizabeth Taylor.
Mrs. Stirling replied with a counter-suit,
accusing her husband of intimacy with the
fascinating Mrs. Atherton. The trial
brought an astonishing revelation of the
habits of a class of society that included
noblemen and chorus girls. Mrs. Stirling
complained of finding her husband sitting
in Mrs. Atherton's lap late at night, but
the latter explained that she was merely
helping him to bear the troubles his wife
was causing him.
The scenes in court were very dramatic

story had pursued one another day and

Lord Northland was the heir of the Earl
of Ranfurly, head Of the ancient Scottish
family of Knox. A little historical interest
was added to the case by the fact that the
celebrated John Knox, founder of the Pres
byterian Church, belonged to this family.
The Judge granted Major Stirling his
divorce on account of his wife's affair with
Lord Northland, but denied her suit based

The Prince of wales, then on the point
of Incoming King Edward VII, summoned
the Duke and ordered him to observe the
proprieties.
The duke came to hi7 senses at last, and
credible report says that it cost him $780,
900 to be free from his charmer. Appar-
emily the episode put blight on the dukes
married life, for, as everybody knows, mis-
duchess, the former Miss CORVALLIS west,
has just obtained divorce from him AFTER
years Of disagreement.
Soon after the Boer War, in 1907, Colonel
Atherton obtained a divorce from his
lovely wife. naming as correspondent
Captain the Hon. John Yarde-Buller, heir
of Lord Churston. The colonel took occa-
sion TO explain that this correspondent was
not the man he suspected at the time OF
the Boer War.
The divorce over, the beautiful Mrs.
Atherton confidently expected the honor
able captain to marry her, and was shocked
when he Stunned her. This was strange
conduct in a man who had written to her:
"I could not love you more. l trust you
from the bottom of my heart. After all
we have gone through you must love me
we'll enough to stick to me for ever"
The captain made it impossible to keep
his promises to Mrs Atherton by secretly
marrying Miss Denise Orme, a Gaiety IA
vorite of that day. He is now Lord
Churston and his Gaiety bride is Lady
Churston. Mrs. Anterior brought suit for
breach of promise against her defaulting
lover, and he had to pay 100000 for the
privilege of not marrying her.
Then society was astonished to hear that
Colonel Atherton intended to remarry his
divorced wife for the sake of their two
children, but she obstinately refused to

. She grew to be bewitchingly beautiful
girl, and after several seasons of brilliant
conquests in London society she married
Colonel Thomas Atherton, dashing officer
of the Twelfth Lancers. This match rather
astonished society, where it was thought
that the reigning beauty would at least
marry an earl.
When the Boer War broke out Colonel
Atherton was ordered there, and his wife,
like many other society women. followed
him. After a time there filtered past the
censor reports of amazing gayeties at Cape
town, in which Mrs. Atherton and certain
favored officers participated. The Mount
Nelson Hotel at Capetown was the scene
of most of these revels but for a time
they were transferred to headquarters
near the Modder River battlefield.
The young Duke of Westminster, the
richest duke in England, then barely
twenty-one years old, fell captive to Mrs.
Atherton's charms in South Africa. The
duke was really engaged to a younger
beauty, Miss Sheila CORVALLIS West, who
threatened to break the engagement when
she heard the news from Capetown.

Mrs. Anterior, it Is believed, expected
Major Stirling to marry her, but once again
she was doomed to disappointment He
married as his second wife daughter Of
Sir John Leslie. Lord Northland married
Miss Cooper. a great heiress, and was
killed early in the late war. The divorced
Mrs. Stirling accepted in 1911 as her
second husband Lord George Choimon-
deIey.
Hard experiences were falling to the
fascinating Mrs. Anterior. She accused
her own sister-in-law, Lady Dean-Paul, OF
calling her disreputable woman and a
disgrace to the family. In1911 Mrs Ath-
erton brought a suit against her sistersn-
law for making these charges and obtained
the unsatisfying verdict Of one farthing-

There were many strange stories Of the
methods employed by the society beauty
to increase her income.
After all these vicissitudes she still pos
