Old Letter Settles Case.

Wilmington, Del.-An age-worn, tat
tered letter and three words in the
codicil of Jesse Chandler settled a
l~ong-pending case in the court of
chancery recently when Chancellor
Curtis issued an order that Samuel NJ.
Harvey of West Chester Pa, be paid
$14,500 from the estate. Harvey's wife,
one of the SO legatees he was suing,
lost the suit, but will have a half share
in the money awarded. Harvey had
agreed with Jesse Chandler to buy 166
acres of farmland in Christiana Hun
bred for $4,000. When Chandle, died
before the deal was completed he stip-
ulated in his will that the farm should
he sold for that amount to Harvey.
Meanwhile the farm had been. sold for
$34,5 800, and while the legatees contend
ed that the entire amount should be
divided, Harvey claimed that only 500
900, or his agreed purchase price,
should be divided. The court upheld
his contention.

LABOR ENDORSES
TEACHERS SALARY AIMS

Realizing that the children of the
wage earners would suffer more than
any class if the New Jersey school
system were to break down, the Execu-
tive Board of the New Jersey State
Federation of Labor endorsed the cam.
paign for adequate salaries being
waged by the school teachers of the
state. at a recent meeting. The resolu-
ton adopted by the Executive Board
follows:
Whereas, the breakdown threaten
ing the Public School System of New
Jersey is recognized as due to the in
adequate salaries paid to the teachers.
and,
Whereas, an increase of salary COM
mensurate with the high cost of living
is imperative to maintain the educa-
tional standards of New Jersey. now
threatened by the lack of teachers or
employment of incOmpetents and,
Whereas, the children of the wage
earners of our state would suffer more
than any class by the impairment of
these standards therefore be it
Resolved, BY the Executive Board
of the New Jersey State Federation of
Labor in meeting assembled this Bird
day of January. 1920, that we favor
substantial Increases in the salary of
the public school teachers of the state
In order that young men and women
will be encouraged to become graduate
teachers and enter the profession OF
teaching"

TEACHERS PLANNING
To LEAVE SCHOOLS
Discouraged by Unequal Struggle
to Make a Living Wage in
Their Profession.

Discouraged by the UNEQUAL contest
they are waging in the economic world.
434 Newark school teachers out of
l,316 who have returned missionaries
recently sent out from Headquarters of
he School and Teacher Campaign,
are considering other positions and
soon may be lost to the teaching pro-
f~ession.
Some interesting and disconcerting
facts are revealed in the responses re-
ceived to these three questions:
How much have you been able to
save during 1919?
Are you forced to do work beside
your school duties for financial rea-
sons?
Are you considering another posi-
ton?
While a few were able to purchase
Liberty bonds, 775 of the 1.616 already
heard from, were unable to save a
penny during 1919.
More than one-half, or CSC to be
exact, stated they are forced to do
outside work in order to "make ends
meet"
Approximately one-third. frankly adj
mitted they were considering other
positions.
There's food for thought. too. in
some of the responses sent In to cam
paign headquarters. A teacher in one
school, for instance, in answer to the
question, How many dependents have
your" replied, None. I depend on
someone else TO help me- In spoons
to the query, How much were you
able to save in 1892" another teacher
in the same school said, II went in
debt $50" while still another who had
earned 500 by doing outside work ap-
pended a note to her questionable say
ing:
II was under the doctors care for
six months, as result of a breakdown,
but | have been obliged to give up the
treatments this term, although | need
them badly, because | am unable to
pay for them"
Almost every teacher that saved
anything during 1919 put her savings
into Liberty bonds. In one school the
gross earnings were S2663S. The COM
bined savings of these teachers
amounted to S1,096, out of which
amount, two teachers who live at
home and pay no board, saved $500.

Women poa catohers.

Denver, Colo.-"The only woman
dog catcher in the world" is the title
applied to Mrs. Laura Dietrich, depu-
ty poundmistress at the dog pound
here. Mrs. Dietrich is highly efficient
in the unusual role, according to Will
liam G. Fox, superintendent, who de-
clares that he had m%isgivings at first
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of securing a
oma for the position, as he thought
it would be too difficult. However, l
soon discovered that dogs resist a
M much less than a man." he
said. "They r handled by Mrs.
Dietrich with much less trouble than
a man."

INDIAN PAINTINGS ON CLIFFS
Owner Offers Them to State or Ma
tional Authorities to Include
in Park.

Austin, Textile most remarkable
Indian paintings or photographs in the
Southwest have been offered to state
Or national authorities, provided the
cliffs upon which they are drawn are
inclosed in a park and adequately
guarded, according to J. E. Pearce, as
sociate professor of anthropology of
the University of Texas.
These paintings, which are owned
by E. D. Sims of Paint Rock are To-
Gated along the banks Of the Concho
river lei Paint Rock, upon every
available surface for a half-mile. They
are in deep red. with an occasional
black figure or character.
All phases of the early tribes are
represented, Mr.. Pearce declares, and
so much valuable historical material
is included in these paintings that Mr..
Pearce will have them copied in scale
for a report to the Smithsonian insti-
tuition, for which he is doing research
work.

Couldn't Digest China Eco.

Smith Center, Kan.-Two months
ago, while Mrs. Ellen Chitwood was
gathering eggs her hand came in con-
tact with a big bullsnake in one of
the nests. Mrs. Chitwood took what
eggs were left, and in their stead left
n made of china. To her surprise,
mex day this n also was gone. She
thought no more of theVmatter until a
day or so ago, when she met his snake
ship again. This time she mustered
courage to kill it with a club. No
ticing an enlargement in the middle of
the snakes body, she performed a
post-mortem examination and found
the missing china egg.

Peculiar Bird.

Stanford. Ky.-Mrs. Roberts. who
lives just beyond Rowland, caught the
other day a peculiar member of the
bird or fowl species, known as a grebe.
1t has something of the appearance
OF a duck, but can neither walk nor
fly. 1t is carried from one place to
another on land by heavy wind and is
much more at home on water than on
land. 1t wal brought to town and ex-
nioited by N. w. Fowle and was later
purchased by Sam Gentry.

MINES MENACE SHIPS
Germans Have Not Finished
Sweeping Their Area
American Field Swept as Completely
as Possible, Says Admiral
Knapp.

London.-Until the Germans COM
plete the sweeping of mine ields they
laid in the North Sea there will be con-
siderable danger to shipping In wa
ters adjacent to the British Isles, say
British and American naval authori-
ties. Even after that work has end
ed, which will not be before next sum-
mer, there will be some danger which,
they predict, will gradually diminish.
"The American barrage Is swept as
completely as is humanity possible"
Admiral Harry S. Knapp, of the Amer
lean navy, said to the Associated
Press correspondent. after our area
had been pronounced one hundred per
cent clear we reswept $50 miles of it
and found only four more mines.
These were at a buoyed spot where
the sweepers believed they had missed
some"
"The greatest menace now" said
Lieutenant Commander Benson, of the
international mine destroying COM
mittee, "is the unswept German area.
Until that field has been cleared there
will be many drifting mines about.
Afterward there will be some danger,
but it will rapidly diminish as the ele-
ments destroy the effectiveness of the
Mines"
He said the committee accounted
for mines on the basis that five per
cent explode when laid, five per cent
are defective, ten per cent soon be-
come useless through leakage and
fifty per cent of the total number laid
are destroyed by the different systems
of sweeping employed by the British
and Americans.
Committee members believe that a
great many of the other thirty per cent
will be carried by the natural north
ward currents of the North Sea into
Arctic ice packs and destroyed; others
will go ashore on the Norwegian coast,
as have many already a great num-
Der will become harmless through re-
naming in the water and a certain
number will be destroyed by patrols
which the British navy still is main
tanning.
Also the British navy has just arm
ed all merchantmen, except those call
ing at Irish ports, with high velocity
rifles with which to destroy any mines
sighted.

CHAMPAGNE THING OF PAST
Soil of District Where Produced Said
to BE sPermanentiu De-

Tow top soil of the Champagne district
is reported to ~ permanently de-
stroyed by the ravages of war and re-
fertilization is deemed impracticable
because of the chalky character of the
subsoil.
No attempt is to be made to rebuild
the Cathedral of Rheims, which is
likely to remain as a war monument.
The present inhabitants of the city
are mostly spectators who are in
vesting millions in buying destroyed
or damaged property at d big discount,
hoping to ecove from the government
the original cost plus war initiation.
The city is still without light, wa
ter or heat, hotels, restaurants or tram
ways, and operators or taxicabs are
reaping huge profits. The sanitary
conditions are appalling, the drainage
system being unrepaired.

SOAP BUBBLES
INTACT A YEAR
Scientific Society Gives Informa.
ton on Sir James DeWar'S
Test.
ALWAYS MYSTERY TO SCIENCE
When Bubble Becomes Very Old II
Offers Only Possible Example OF
the MoIecuIe Visible to the
Naked Eye.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Facts about the
prodigious strength of soap bubbles,
proved by experiments in which bub-
.bles were kept intact for more than a
year and subjected to all sorts of
weight strains, were made public here
for the first time by the Franklin In
stitute, one of the oldest scientific So
cieties in the United States.
Important to Chemists.
Coming on the heels of the an
nouncement of Einstein's discoveries
of the gravitational bending of light,
the exploitation of the soar bubble is
on the other end of the scale as to
size, yet, according to scientists, is
of tremendous Importance to chemists,
physicists and research workers in the
strength of materials and essential ele-
ments. The man who made the expert.
ment Is universally recognized as one
of the leading scientists in the world.
F. r. S., Fullerian Professor of Chem
istry, Royal Institution of Great
Britain, and an honorary member of
the Franklin Institute.
The soap bubble is a simple thing,
yet it has always been more or less
a mystery to scientists. They consider
1t perhaps the best phenomenon exist
ing for the study of the habits and
idiosyncrasies of the molecule.
Scientists now claim, on the
strength of the experiment made by
Sir James Dewar, hat when a soap
bubble becomes very old, say in three
or four days. it offers the only pos
sible example of the molecule visible
to the naked eye. Most parts of the
bubble are estimated to consist of
about one hundred layers of molecules.
But by various methods Of treatment
the bubble is induced to perform
'stunts" until in black spots which
appear it represents only a single lay
er of molecules.
Remarkable Strength.

EDUCATION IN MANY
STATES THREATENED

~
New Jersey is not the only state that
Is threatened with a breakdown of its
educational system. New York, Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia are confronted with Sc
rious conditions in their schools. ac-
cording to the Commissioners of Edu-
cation from those states who attended
a recent conference of educators in
Now York.
Frank P. Gilbert, Deputy State Com
missioner of Education of New York,
said LOCO rural communities in New
York state had been forced % close
their schools because of the dearth of
teachers.
The plight of education in West Vir-
ginia was described as "d~esperate' by
NJ. B. Sharkey, State Superintendent
of Education, who said that despite the
fact that the state had increased mini
mum salaries for teachers 30 per cent
desertions from their ranks were con-
tinuing.
Calvin N. Kendall, Commissioner of
Education of New Jersey. told tt con
ferees that the crisis in New Jersey
had been brought about by the tenden-
cy of young women to take up business.
rather than teaching as a career. At
tendance at the Normal Schools had
fallen off 30 per cent, he said.
The seriousness of the situation was
discussed at length. and it was deter
mined that substantial and immediate
increases in teachers salaries was the
only sure remedy.
