SCHOOL BOARD IS
 SEEKING TO ASSIST
Is. Advertising for Rooms for
 Teachers Next Year

l So serious is the situation in this living quarters for the school teachers that the school board has seen fit to advertise in the daily papers in an effort to get into communication with private families about the city who might be willing to board members of the teaching staff. This unusual action was taken by the board when apprised of the real conditions.
 A special committee of the Teach CTS Council on Housing Conditions and Social Welfare of Teachers" has had charge of investigating the mat ter and interesting facts have been brought out concerning the way many teachers live.
 This committee sent a questionnaire to every teacher in the local schools. The questions were whether or not the teacher lived at home, what the con- ditions of her room were, what ac- commodations she had at home, and various other questions.
 The replies to these questionnaires showed that there are 176 teachers who live at home, while 106 teachers are obliged to secure places to live throughout the city. Of the 106, there were 70 who reported desirable rooms, 6S with rooms comfortably heated, S6 with rooms properly lighted, and S7 with hot water privi- leges There were 61 who reported they would like to live with a private family, 40 who would like small housekeeping apartments. Fifty-three stated they would enjoy use of a club house if such were available. Many teachers reported paying $500, $3.5o, s4.O0. s4.50 and even $500 per week for a room. a price they all reported as exceptionally high.
 Many of the teachers are wonder ing what they will do for rooms next year as the people in charge would keep ther rooms only on payment of room rent for the summer months. Several teachers have suffered priva- tons through lack of heating, light ing and accommodations
 Suggestions were offered that someone see that a professional hotel or clubhouse is erected or that the city should erect some neat apartment houses wherein the teachers could live Two ways seemed left to the committee in which to better con- ditions. They are to establish a pro- fessionaI and business woman's club and to request the school board to see that enough is done to secure good comfortable quarters.

Pretty Chinese Legend.

One of the prettiest legends of Chi
nese mythology is that of the weaver
girl and the herd laddie who are said
to be two stars in the sky.
In far off days, Jove took pity on
their loneliness and married them.
They were so happy in their connu-
bal bliss-this proves the date to have
been very long ago in the days of
"once upon a time"-that they neglect
ed their tasks and were banished to
opposite sides of the Milky Way,
where they wink at each other all the
year round, but are only allowed to
cross for a brief spell of happiness on
the seventh day of the seventh moon.
On that night 81" maidens place
few sticks of incense with some sweets
and fruit on table in the inner court
yard as an offering to the two stars,
perhaps with an unexpressed prayer
that in their own case the course of
true love may run more smoothly than
it did for the immortal lovers in the
sky.

Record Horseback Rides.

There is a-reliable account given Of
an Englishman, Squire Osbald-
stone, having ridden, in 1881, 200 miles
in ten hours. In doing this, however,
he rode 16 horses and changed every
four miles. A wonderful test of en-
dUrance and pluck was the case Of
Capt. Charles Townley, another Eng
fish eavalryman, who, in 1849, rode
with dispatches from Belgrade to Con-
stantinOple, 500 miles. He remained
in the saddle five days and II hours
without rest, except on one occasion
for six hours and the time consumed
in changing to fresh horses. Twice
the horse he rode dropped under him
from exhaustion. 1t was a historic
ride, for upon the event of his arriving
in Constantinople ahead of all other
couriers hung the decision of the war,
which by his accomplishing the feat
was averted

pouhIoons Now Merely Bullion.

Should one find pirates buried
treasure he would have to dispose of
his Spanish gold at its bullion value,
for, since August 1, 1908, when the
common crier made proclamation from
the steps of the Royal exchange Of
London that after that date the doub
loon would cease to be legal tender
in the West Indies, including British
Guiana, the dOubIoon has not been
the precious thing it was.
In 1870, and for a century after, it
was worth IS, more or less. 1t has
ceased TO be coined in its native cOun-
try, Spain, and since 1908 it has been
unpopular in the West Indies, where
for a long time it figured in 6 mixed
circulation embracing British, United
States and Spanish coins In the in
terest of romance, however, the name
must survive 1t signifies nothing
more than that the coin was double
the value of a pistOle, but the doub-

gests great riches, but means only

VERBENA HELD AS SACRED
Romans Believed That Leaves Of Plant
Would Protect the Wearer
From Injury.

The verbena plant was held In the
greatest veneration by the ancient
Romans, who believed that a few
leaves of it worn on the person
would protect against injury, and
Roman brides who gathered and wore
q wreath of verbena were considered
fortunate.
The plant came by its name from
an old Roman custom. Whenever a
dispute was had with another nation
an official called verbanerius was sent
to discuss it with the offending coun-
try. This official wore a wreath Of
verbena. If war was decided upon an
irOn-tipped spear with a sprig Of YER
bena tied to it was shot into the en-
envy territory as a declaration Of
war.
The Druids dedicated the verbena to
their priestess, gathering it at the
full moon. No one was allowed to
touch it with the hands. 1t was up
rooted by being tied to the foot of a
young girl. Hungarian gypsies be-
lieve that if a cut is made in the
palm of the hand and a tiny piece Of
verbena leaf is placed in it and the
wound allowed to heal over the per-
son will be able to open all locks with
q single touch.-Detroit News.

NUMEROUS PHASES OF LIFE
Existence May be Likened, with Con-
siderable Truth, to Any One
Of Many Things.

Life, says the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal, is very much like a savings &C
count in the bank. You get out all
you put into it, and considerable in
terest besides.
A winding country road. Al
though one cannot see far ahead, zest
is given to the journey by the fact
that something new and interesting
will be revealed at every turn Of the
road.
The new spring bonnet. A great
deal Of it's charm depends on the
kind Of face that peeps out beneath

An old-fashioned quilt. Requires
both light and dark patches to carry
out the design successfully.
Your wife You find it very try
ing at times, but all things consid-

An education. In order to make it

it with others.

but it is not policy to wear it inside

PROFIT GOES TO UNCLE SAM
All Paper Money That Goes From the
Treasury and Fails to Return
Is "VeIVet"

II you subscribe to the philosophy
that one mans loss is another mans
gain, to whom do you suppose, does
the profit accrue when you forget to
take your package from it's hiding
place in the parlor stove before light
ing the fire in the fall? If you drop
a dollar bill and it blows into the
gutter and is never recovered, VINO
profits?
If you fall into the river and drown
and your remains take their place per-
manently in Davy Jones locker, who
is to the good to the extent of the
modest roll in your vest pocket?
The answer to one and all of these
questions is, Uncle Sam. Every piece
of paper money that goes out from
the treasury and fails to return, profits
the government to the extent of its
face value. If it is a gold or silver
certificate the metal which was placed
in the treasury for it's redemption is
never called forth.
If it is a federal reserve note or a
national bank note, the securities that
have been deposited as a guarantee
at the time of its issue, or their equiv
alent, remain in the treasury. So is
there sOlace to the patriot who so
loses his wallet that if it is not found
by another it's contents are applied
TO the expenses of the government.
