teachers left the profession for better

fill these vacancies and the ones that
are being created this year there are
20 per cent fewer students in the
normal schools. The situation next
year will be still worse. If America
believes in her public schools she must
show her faith by prompt action.

HAVE YOU SEEN
 TOM WHITES HAT?

Accidents will happen in the best of regulated families and Registrar of Voters Thomas White is no excep- ton to the rule. The day before yesterday Tommy paid visit to the Bureau of Vital Statistics in the Vel fare building and while checking up on the birth and death notices he left his hat on a chair in the office. After the maker of voters had finished his checking up work he went to look for his Katy and 10 and behold, in stead of of the hat he had left on the chair there was an old 1916 model that some kind person had left in the place of "Tommy's' Snyder Spe- cial.''
 The vote maker was somewhat peeved and ragged around a bit but the hat remained among the missing. Finally he was forced to borrow a cap that was about six sizes too large for him to wear down Main street back to the City Hall.
 Latest reports were that the dome covering was still among the missing. Genial Vince Whitney, superintendent of the Welfare building, has taken up the case and is working on the clue of examining all visitors with head size 6 M.

U. S. RELAxES ATTITUDE.

Washington.-As a result of the

it has been dealing.

ment. in which the United States has
played prominent part in the past,

itself
AS to the Adriatic question, it was
understood that the State Department,
for the present at least, would be con.

statement Of President Wilson that the
solution should be left to settlement
between Italy and Jugo-Slavia, so long
as that settlement did not contravene
certain c)early-established principles
of the self-determination of peoples,
and SO long as such settlement took
as its basis the Allied memorandum to

The reported acceptance of Italy's

bitch has notified the Italian delega-
ton that the Jugo-Slavs would con.
tinue the negotiations on the basis set
forth by Italy, especially since Italy
had shown good will by accepting some

frontier as originally proposed. The
announcement that Premier Giolitti
would come to participate in the con-
ference encouraged hopes that the
agreement would be promptly signed.
It is learned that, after some hesita-

the 1strian frontier, including Nevaso

also territorial contiguity between Italy
and the new. State of Fiume.
Points not yet formally accepted but

Italian sovereignty over lara, with suf-

OF several of the Dalmatian Islands to
