they are to crowd the tailored suit for
wear upon some occasions where, here
tofore, the latter has reigned supreme.
For instance. sport skirts. hygienic

HOLDS LEVER ACT
CNCONSTITCTIONA
Judge Anderson of Indianapolis Re-
verses His Former Ruling.

Indianapolis, May 26-(SpeciaD
Judge 4. B. Anderson today held
the Lever law to be unconstitutional.
The ruling was in the case of coal
operators and miners indicted in
connection with the recent nation
wide coal strike.
Those indicted include miners
and operators in Indiana, Illinois,
Pennsylvania and Ohio.
In declaring the Lever act uncon-
|stitutional, Judge Anderson sustained
the motion of Charles Evans Hughes
to quash the indictment against
indiana and Pennsylvania miners.
The indictments were based on
the Lever law. Others indicted are
not directly affected by the ruling.
Judge Anderson originally grant
ed an injunction based on the
Lever act, declaring the strike H.
legal. The injunction was at the re-
quest of Attorney General Palmer
The miners contended the act was
unconstitutioa not applying to
strikes. but were overruled by
Judge Anderson
| Following the termination OF the
strike, a federal grand jury was
empaneled, resulting in indictments
charging conspiracy and collision
to restrict the nations coal supply
and to secure higher prices for
COAL
1t dismisscs the case against the
miners and operators under this in
dictment, which resulted from a grand
jury probe of the entire coal industry
from the time United States entered
the war.

ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE
EIGHTH GRADE GRADUATES
Mrs. Preston Writes Zach Successful
Pupil Who Has Passed the state
Eighth Grade Test.

OLYMPIA. Wash. June l. often
it is Just an encouraging word that
the young boy or girl needs to keep
them in school. often it is merely
giving them the right prospective
viewpoint Of what education viii do
for them that will send them on to
high school or college.
Mrs Josephine Corliss Preston,
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton yearly supplies this encouraging
word and educational inspiration TO
thousands of boys and girls in the
state of Washington. At the close of
each school year she sends out letters
to the eighth grade graduates Of the
public schools of this state. At the
present time Mrs. Preston is person
ally signing nearly 10000 of these
messages which will go to the 1920
eighth grade graduates. Each letter
carries direct appeal to the student
to stay in school if possible.
That practically every one of these
letters has a clear echo is evidenced
by the figures which were issued to-
day from the state superintendent
office showing that from 1912 to 1919
the enrolment in the high schools Of
this state has increased 1878 or
51.2 per cent.
The following figures show the en-
rollment for each year: 1911-1912,
24,534; 1912-1913. 27.494; 1913
1914. 1891; 1914-1915. 32,244;

BucOda Expects Land Boom.

Bucoda, thriving Thurston coun-

estate boom owing to the develop
ments Of the past two weeks. p. F.
Knight. F. r. Stokes, NJ Foard and
w. A. Perkins, have recently organ
lied the Bucoda Land Company which
has been incorporated with a capital
OF $4,000. The purpose of the new
company will be to place on the mar
ket in small tracts the Burnham farm
which they have purchased and which
is located in the center Of the town.
The company also plans to colonize
tract Of 1000 acres in the vicinity
OF Bucoda now owned by the Mutual
Lumber Company.
Bucoda is now enjoying an era OF
unprecedented prosperity with a pay
roll of approximately 100000 a
month and it is rumored that nego-
tiations are under way to secure the
reopening of the vast coal deposits adj
joining the town. 1t is understood
that the land company plans to finance
the building of a large number of
homes to overcome the great short
age of houses, and will endeavor to
promote the small fruit and poultry
industry on the lands in the vicinity
