East Side Youngsters
Feast on Free Candy
Gloom on Second Avenue When
Free-Handed Merchant Is
Sent to Bellevue

After Constantine Males had given
away almost all the stock in trade with
which he opened a candy store at 63t
Second Avenue yesterday, he was taken
to Bellevue Hospital for observation
as to his sanity.
That was matter which the young
sters of the upper East Side did not
inquire into when they heard that he
was giving away a pound box of candy
to every child that entered his store
A mob of children, numbering many
hundreds, had gathered when Sergeant
Mcclure, Of the East Thirty-fifth Street
police station, who had seen a revolver
that was displayed in the window
showed his way into the shop.
Males told him proudly that it was
an automatic revolver of his own in
vention and would shoot any holdup
man who came within range. That was
when Mcclure told him it was time
to lock up and take walk to Bellevue
Males is a Greek and lives at 244 East
Thirty-fourth Street. He said that he
had been in hospital once before, be-
cause they" thought there was some
thing the matter with his head.

Vincent AstOr Guardian
Of Sister in Suits Here
Appointed by Surrogate as Rep
resentative in Action to
Share in Estate

Vincent Astor was appointed general
guardian of his sister, Ava Alice Muriel
Astor, yesterday in an order. signed by
Surrogate Cohalan. Miss Astor's home
is with her mother the former Mrs.
John Astor, who now is Lady Ava
Lowle Willing Ribblesdale, and lives in
London.
Miss Astor wishes to claim her share
of the Astor estate and requires a
guardian to represent her in litigation
in this state, as her mother became a
nonresident alien through her mar
riagc to Lord Ribblesdale. Her share
was adjudged to be oneforty yhfth, or
100000, in a property partition suit
of Chanler VS.. Aldrich, and she sets
forth in her petition for guardian
that she is entitled to somewhat less
than $1,000 in an accounting actor
under deed of trust made by the late
Henry Astor, grand-uncle.
Her share Of rents, issues and prop
erty of which Charles A. Peabody was
appointed receiver in 1918. is estimated
at $1,000 by Miss Astor. Vincent Aston
filed bond of 100000 as guardian.

High Schools Face
Shortage of $4,000
Qualified Teachers
u. S. Bureau of Education.
After Survey, Decides Sal
aries Must Be Raised if
Positions Are To Be Filled

WASHlN N June 2S-No fewer
than $4,000 !, Ag positions in public
high schools will be without properly
qualified teachers next September, if
the estimates of A. o. Neal, of the
United States Bureau Of Education.
Prove to be correct. The bureau re
Gently conducted an extensive inquiry
among the high schools of the country
and more than 1000 nigh schools have
written Of their needs
Those schools now employ 65,S57
teachers and they will require 1925
new teachers in the fall to provide for
the normal increase in enrolment and
to take the places of those who are
leaving the schools for other work.
Mr.. Neal considers that this proportion
fairly represents the general condition
try. and he estimates that total of
25,97s places must Ie filled before the
next school term begins
Higher Pay Demanded
The visible supply of qualified candi-
dates does not even approach that mum
ter. simultaneously with the inquiry
made of high schools the bureau re
Quested all the colleges and UNIVERSE
ties of the United States to report the
number of persons who would graduate
this year and also the number Of those
graduates who expect to teach in the
high schools
Replies from 1913 institutions show
that their graduate number lO,6S0 men
and 9,327 women, and that 1880 men
and 4,742 women will take up the work
of high school teaching. On this basis
1t is estimated that only l0,620 mem
bers of this years graduating classes
OF all the higher institutions will ac-
cept positions in the high schools. The
difference, 1888 places, must be filled
in ways that are not now apparent, or
that number of classes will be without
proper instruction.
1t may be possible to induce other
graduates to enter the work and some
former teachers who have withdrawn
may return, but this will mean that
higher pay and improved conditions
otherwise must be offered. The only
alternative is to employ persons be-
low the standard prescribed by expert
ence and general practice.
Salaries Need Raises
How serious the situation is may be
judged by the fact that the threatened
shortage is twice as graa. SIS the num-
ber of teachers in all of New England
and greater than the number OF such
teachers in New York and Pennsylvania
mbined.
Mr. Neal advises school boards every
where to lose no time in gthening
their forces in anticipation of the eX-
pected difficulties. Salaries must be
raised and improved conditions must
be created, in order to hold many
as possible of the teachers now in the
service and to attract desirable re
cruits. All this must be done, not fol
the benefit of the teachers, who are
evidently able now to care for them
selves very we'll indeed, but for the
sake of the children who are sufferers
when good teachers leave the service.

For King S5,OOOyWO
Carvalho Says Tests AltTend
to Prove Second Will
Genuine; Tells of Pur-
suit Here by ''Ambrose"


CHICAGO, June 3o.-The pitched
battle over the six words that stand
between Mrs. Mary c. Melvin and
$5,0oo,ooo, left by the late James G..
King went into another round to- day.
The words are the signatures OF Mr..
King, Byron Smith and Addison Mel
vim to the alleged second VIII which
the millionaire lum rman is supposed
to have made. leaving his estate to his
widow instead of TO the James e. klng
home for old men. =.
Scores of attorneys, detectives.-ps
biologists, photographers, chemists and
other experts in the two years SINCE the
fling of the alleged second VIII have
focused their attention on the six
words. To-day the deposition OF David
n. Carvalho, one Of the many experts
who have functionei in the CASE was
read before Judge Baldwin. Mr.. Car
valho served for forty years as hand
writing expert for the District Attor-
ney's Office in New York. Mr.. Carvalho
rived at the conclusion that it was
genuinely signatured, assuming that
the signature standards submitted to
me for comparison are genuine.
The deposition bristled with objec-
tions on the part of the attorneys for
the Northern Trust Company, who are
contending the second will is a forgery
and who were sustained by Judge Hor-
ner after the first trial of the case,
in the Probate Coclt Mr. Carvalho
also set forth that following his de-
cision that the signatures were genuine
he became the object of curious pursuit
in New York The mysterious r'eArn-
brose" visited him, he testified, and
announced himself as a secret service
detectlveA "Ambrose' desired to know
what interest he had in the case and
requested him to make further investi-
cations in order that he might change
was interested in the matter.
81 was called to the Office of Mr..
Dooling, the Assistant District At
torney in New York" testified the
expert "and questioned by him and
asked if it would be possible for mo
to revise my opinion on further, ex-
animation. l said no. and gave him all
the tests to which | had submitted the
signatures and told them to get other
experts.
81 told him that if the signatures
were forgeries they were done with a
stylus tracer and could not be detected
by any scientific test"
In the disposition Mr. Carvalho tes-
tilted that Mr.. Dooling had told him
there was Something wrong" about the
proceedings and that he had a copy of
a contract between Mrs. Melvin and
Means, by which the latter would re-
ceive s950,000 if the will was put
over"

Oh, Commuters, LISTEN! 300 Boys Off on Vacation!

FUND yesterday:
How long have you been doing this
thing, anyway"
And when the answer had been given
he exclaimed:
Forty four years! And I've lived
in New York all that time and never
walked up to it. Oh, l suppose I've
heard of Fresh Air outings now and
then, but it never struck me what it
meant. And you say you send out
nearly ten thousand every summer for
two weeks each? That certainly is a
tremend really tremendous thing.
Send three for me this summer"
that's Why we want you commuters
TO stop IN the waiting room this morn
ing. You've heard of Fresh Air vaca-

has never meant anything vital to
you. Go look at those boys and girls
