Junior High School.
H. P. Shepherd, principal of the
Lincoln High school, offered the fol-
lowing observations on "The Junior
High School in Its Relation to Ele-
mentary and Senior Schools:
"The socializing opportunities in
the lower grades will be improved by
the existence of the junior high
school.
"The junior high school relieves
the elementary school principal Of
the responsibility of supervising eight
grades, which is an impossible task.
Insofar as the junior high school
is the final education for those en-
tering prematurely into employment,
it is independent of the senior high
school.
81 believe that the senior high
school will be more and more an
institution for the elimination of those
who are not eligible to enter the pro-
fessions."
R. M. Marrs, principal OF the
South High school of this city, spoke
on Classification and Guidance of
Pupils"
"Any high school that does not
develop student council is missing
great opportunity. Our school has
council and we have learned some
thing in school democracy" said Mr.,
Mars.

NO WONDER THEY LAUGHED
American Soldier in Paris Had Made
q Small Mistake in Copying the
Street Name.

During the war, while I was on
leave of absence in Paris, relates re-
turned soldier, I decided to take a
walk alone. I thought it advisable to
copy down the name Of the street in
which l was staying, so I wrote down
some words printed on the sidewalk.
When I was ready to return | found
that 1 could not locate the street
where my hotel was, so I approached
a woman, showed her what had writ
ten in my book, and tried to learn
from her where the place was. She
laughed and said something in French,
which, Of course, I did not under
stand, and passed on. A number of
times l did the same thing. and every
one stopped laughed, and passed on
until man said in English. what is
Il you want?'
Delighted to find that l had discov-
cred one person who spoke English: i
said, '"That is the name Of the street
where I am staying, and l am lost.
Will you please direct me-" 49,.
"You haven't written down street
name," said the man, ''but post no
bills.'"

Women on Juries Old Stuff.

While considerable ink is flowing
relative to women, serving as jurors,
the theme is rather old in Chester, Pa.
1t has been proved that this city had
the first jury of women empaneled in
this country. and that was in 1859.
The history of the Carter family,
one Of the early settlers of Pennsyl-
vania, has the following to say about
the public service Of one Of it's men,
berS:
Mary Carter was one Of a jury Of
women empaneled in Chester in 1889
to examine a female convict and re-
port whether she should endure the
punishment the court had ordered"
The appointment Of this jury was
made in conformance with a rule laid
down by William Penn who, with his
prejudice against capital punishment
and undue penal servitude, gave his
erring subjects much opportunity to es-
cape the fruits of their misaeeds.
Two hundred and thirty-one years
after Mary Carter served on a jury
other Chester women's names have
been placed in the jury wheel for
service at the next term Of court.

GERMAN WAR PLOT
Plan to Wreck Machinery lE
Chilean Nitrate Fields.
Had the Scheme Succeeded the Great
War Might Have Had Vastly
Different Ending.

War depends upon explosive am
munition. Explosive ammunition de-
pends absolutely upon nitric acid, and
the huge supply Of nitric acid which
is necessary comes almost entirely
from the nitrate fields of Chile. The
sodium nitrate Of the Chilean pampas
makes it possible for the guns of the
world to speak.
The most colossal war in the wOrld's 9
history depended upon little strip
of desert in northern Chile, writes
Willard Price in the Christian Herald.
Germany we'll understood this fact.
For years before the war she pur-
chased annually 42 per cent Of Chile's
total production of nitrate. This enorm-
Gus quantity was bought ostensibiy to
be used as fertilizer, and, in fact,
much of it was so used. But also
much Of it was Systematically stored
away for the manufacture of ammuni-
ton; so that, when the cloudburst
came, Germany had ,on hand vast
supply Of explosives and of nitrates
from which explosives could be made.
With the beginning Of war she was,
Of course, promptly cut off from COM
munication with Chile. Since it was
impossible for her to get more Chilean
nitrate, she would make it also i'm
possible for the allies to get it. The
outcome of this reasoning was plot,
the story of which never got to most
North Americans, but which I found to
be widely known in South America.
But for the telltale wagging Of a
drunken mans tongue, the war might
have come to a conclusion of sort
far more pleasing to the kaiser.
One day in February of 1917
Chilean miner came down from the
nitrate pampas to the coast town Of
Antofagasta. He had money. He
visited cantina and in time became
drunkenly garrulous. His babblings
made his listeners sit up sharply and
exchange glances, and later report to
the authorities.
An investigation followed and stu
pendous, German plot was revealed,
having for it's object nothing less than
the destruction Of the machinery in
all the nitrate oficinas Of Chile.
The plot was to be consummated on
February 26 (the same date as that
set for the attempt, which proved fu-
tile, to steal the Peruvian subma-
rines). Charges well placed under
boilers and at other vulnerable points
would have wrecked machinery that it
would have taken at least q year and
a half to replace.
Of course, guards were Immediately
detailed and the plan was abandoned.
But if the plot had succeeded-what
then? In few months the existing
supply of nitratesi the hands of the
allies would have been exhausted. The
manufacture of ammunition, except in
Germany, would have stopped.

Repairing Stonehenge.

Stonehenge, the prehistoric group OF
huge standing stones near Salisbury,
in southern England, has been set IN
order for the first time in three or
four thousand years. A single stone
was Strengthened in 1901, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine, but thorough
overhauling was made impossible by
the government and during the war
was the center of a large, permanent
encampment. Artillery range and mine
experiment stations were established
close enough to jar the uprishts and
the remaining lintels. One Intel was
moved outward to such degree that
it became a menace to visitors. The
government put up cranes and wlnches
to restore that stone and has set firm
the stones that are still erect.

PUT ONE OVER ON BUTCHER

could use for soup stock?"

on his left hand.
"What is it worth?" asked the
woman.
"Just a haf-dollar," said he.
ut is such large piece, would you
mind cutting it at the joint?'
"Sure, I WILL" he replied.
After cutting off the large knuckie
he again balanced the long, slim shin
bone on his hand and said:
"You may have this for 40 cents"
The woman looked at the piece for
a moment. then at the knuckle and
said:
us that piece you cut off worth only
10 cents?"
The clerk hesitatingly replied:

"All right" said the woman. "Ill

at the woman, then actually laughed
aloud. But he was game and will
