outcome of much dark intrigue in
Newark's Italian colony, of which the

leader, and shortly thereafter he was
arrested for carrying concealed weap-
ons. tried, convicted, and took an an

Immediately it was announced that
his friends were to give a dinner to
raise funds for his defense. The Bene-

Despite the cutlery against low sala-

opportunities in the teaching profess
SION, in the opinion of the Institute
for Public Service, which yesterday
wrote to Aiming S. Prall, president Of
the Board of Education, charging that
"only part of the truth-the most
unpleasant parts being told young
people who are thinking of teaching
as a life work. William H. Allen, the
Institutes director, says:
"The associate superintendent in
charge of high schools said recently
at a public hearing that he hoped the
teacher shortage would last, and that
a young person is fool who goes into
teaching. Principals insist that tn,
only way to get salary increases is to
set the bears loose on the teacher
market. The $24 100000 increase which
business men are urging cannot recruit
teachers in face Of such official utter
ances."

Good morning!
This is March %!
The weather today will
probably be fair.
A man tells me
how he fooled
himself

He said II was fiat on my back
in bed in a room overlooking the
ocean, looking out Of clear glass
window twenty feet from where l
lay, when 1 saw what seemed to be
a small rowboat, with man in it,
a mile and a half from the shore,
being tossed up and down on the
high waves"
He said he watched it for two
hours, expecting every minute to
see it swallowed up and lost.
What was his surprise the next
day to find, While sitting close to
the window, that his sight had
deceived him and that what he
had taken for a boat in the dis
lance was black speck of waste
or color that had fastened itself
on the glass-there it was just
over his nose And as the waves
danced up and down they seemed
to move the black spot up and
down.
Uow easy it is to be tnislcd by
our eyes, ears or memory, and get
astray without knowing it for a
time!-such very little thing puts
us into making a mistake.
