HIGH SCHOOL INSPECTOR
PRAISES PROGRESS HERE
"Leave Petty, Differences Out
of School Situation" E. M.
Phillips Advises

E. M. Phillips, state high school
Inspector and also director Of voca-
tional education in Minnesota's high
schools, visited Bemidji Friday in the
interests of the state department Of
education.
He inspected the Bemidji school
during the greater part of the after
noon and also attended the district
conference of superintendents and
agricultural instructors at the agri-
cultural rooms on Fourth street.
He stated that he has always liked
Bemidji and was glad Of the chance
to visit this city again. In remarklng
about the condition Of the high school
he was pleased, to report that the
school is progressing remarkably well
Sin spite of the crowded conditions
since the loss Of the high. school
building by fire.
|. "Of course, the halliday sessions
are a loss" he said, "but what else
can be done under the circumstances?
They have my approval, for I con-
slider that greater loss would result
if any other system were followed"
He remarked especially concern
ing the fine spirit of study and the
spirit of cooperation being shown
Superintendent West and the faculty.
The fact that there is no serious loss
of time caused by the students be-
ing required to go from one building
to another for various classes i'm
pressed him also.
Mr.. Phillips has always taken an
interest in the Bemidji schools and
wishes to leave the impression with
the public that the local schools will
be among the best in the Northwest
as long as the "petty differences
are forgotten.
Inspector Phillips came to Bemidji
from Virginia, where he attended a
meeting of the school officers of st.
Louis county Thursday.

A great deal of interest is being
shown by farmers and business men
alike in the brushing and seeding

counties in Northeastern Minnesota,
acc ording to A.. J. Schwantes, assist
ant professor of land clearing at the
University of Minnesota, who is In
charge of the campaign. At campaign
meetings at different places in each
county, he says, the following points
are taken up: Seasoned adaptation,
fire prevention, better distribution
and continuous employment of labor
throughout the year, conversion OF
liabilities into capital assets, sys-
tematized and cheaper farm develop
ment and creating self-sustalned
agriculture.
"It has been said that the best
time of the year to cut brush is dur
ing the late summer or early fall"
says Professor Schwantes. at is
true that brush which is cut during
this time of the year is not so like
ly to sprout back as that which is cut
during almost any other season, be-
cause the plant has completed its
seasons growth at that time and
most of the life of the plant is in the
stem and leaves. On the other hand,
it is also true that time on the aver

REMIDJI MUSICAL ART
CLUB ENJOYS PROGRAM
Colonial Music Was Subject of
Program Enjoyed By Art
Club Friday

The Bemidji Musical Art club pre-
scented program of exceptional IN
terest at it's regular meeting Friday
afternoon at the. Civic and Commerce
association rooms, which were filled
to their capacity. Colonial music was
the topic under discussion.
Rev. Lester p. ,Warford gave a
most interesting paper, dividing the
music of this period into three main
subdivisions, first, religious music, in
spired by Luther and Calvin; second,
patriotic music, composed during the
revolutionary period, and third, dance
music or representative music Of the
Cavaliers.
The religious music was illustrated
by a quartet composed of Misses
Carrie Armstrong and Edna Nelson,
and Messrs.. N. e. Given and Ray
mond Hannah. They were dressed in
costumes representing the early Pill
grims, and sang three hymns, cold
Hundred" "Cheshire" and "Wind-
sor," with much finish and religious
fcrvor.
When Rev. Warford reached the
revolutionary period, four boys in
costume, representing the Esprit of
'7G" entered the room, bearing the
American flag, and playing "Yankee
Doodle" Charles Vandcrsluis was
flag bearer, Theodoe Larson played
the piccolo. and Robert Kirk and
Lewis Bruenig were the drummers.
Their Interpretation was excellent
and inspired the audience with Il
martial spirit.
The last part OF the paper dealt
with the secular music relating to
the dance, and was most artistically
interpreted by Miss Esther Young,
who, in colonial costume and powder
ed hair, danced the minuet.
At the close Of the dance, she
read "The Minuet," accompanied on
the piano by Miss Ragnhild Moe, who
played Beethoven's Minuet in G..

Instead of Nominations for
Political Offices, League
May Merely Endorse
TOWNLEY EXPECTS TO
REORGANIZE LEAGUE
North Dakota State. Convention
of League Deferred Until
Townley Is Released
(By United PreSs)

Minneapolis, Dec. 3.--The National
Nonpartisan League may cease to
be political organization next year.
This information was given the
United Press today on reliable author
ity. Instead of nominating candidates
for political offices the league IN the
future will merely endorse candl-
dates for office, it was reported. This
will be a revision of the original plans
of Arthur C. Townlcy, originator and
president of the league. 1t will elm
mate office-seekers from the organ
ization, the one thing that disrupted
the league in North Dakota and re-
suited in the recall OF nonpartlsan
office-ho lers in that state last fall.
Townley expects to take charge
of the reorganization of the league
when he has served his 9O-day SEN
tence in the Jackson county jail.
The North Dakota state convention
of the league has been deferred until
after Townley is released in Febru
airy. Since the league swallowed up
the republican party in North Dakota
scores of league members have be-
come otfice-holders. MANY of them
have turned traitor,' according to
Townley. 'lf his plans carry this stu
alton will be avoided.
League leaders today pointed to
the fact that league oilice-holdcrs
were recalled in North Dakota while
the voters endorsed the league pro-
gram. This is Townlcy's biggest argu-

BRLTON HAS PLANS FOR
INVISIBLE AEROPLANE
Ernest Welsh Claims to Have
Discovered New Metal With
Transparent Properties
By Charles Mccain


London, Dec. Am invisible air.
plane may make it's appearance IN the
next war.
Ernest Welsh, Of Hull, claims to
have discovered metal with the
transparent properties of glass, which
he proposes to use in the construc-
ton Of airplancs.
Welsh is Of an inventive turn. Du"
ing the war he experimental with
anti-ZcppcIin rockets, submarine sig
nails and silent guns. Since then ne
has marketed device to improve the
lighting Of ships and a system for
gassing rats.
So far Welsh's newest invention
has not caused much of stir. Lon
don scientists are skeptical.
DR.. Roscnhcim Of the National
Physical Laboratory, welI-known
authority on glass and steel, declares
it is impossible to make metal trans
parent, nor, he said, had any progress
been made in efforts to make glass
strong enough to resist fracture.
Shaw Scott of the Institute Of Met
ais, said the essential of metal was
it's opaque character
"rhe only method in which any
metal has been made at all trans
parent" he said, "has been by heat
ing. We have pieces of metal at the
Institute, notably old, beaten out to
such microscopical thinncss that it
shows certain amount Of transpar-
ency, greenish light being able to
/ pass through it.
"This was only an experiment into
the ductility of the metal. 1t is pos
siblc to get silver and aluminium down
to his fitness, but it is Of no special
constructive use"
Apparently the inventor has not
submitted his discovery to the re.
search department of the air ministry.
An official Of the department said
and the use Of highly polished alum
mum were very successful in lower
ing the visibility Of airDlancs, but
that nothing had been heard Of the

PARENT MEET g.
AT TEACHERS COLLEGE
Interesting Program Enjoyed,
Followed By Social Hour
. With Refreshments

A large attendance of the mothers,
fathers and friends of the children
who attend the Bemidji State Teach
ers college were present at the Par
ent-Teacher association meeting Fri
day evening in the Kindergarten room
at the college. Roll-call was respond
ed to by the parents or guardians of
the children of the different grades,
rising as called upon, and, by count,
Miss Edson's room had the largest
number Of representatives, and they
will have the canary in their room for
another month.
After the business had been dis
posed of, a program was given. A
group of songs were sung by double
quartette selected from the lower
grade, and they sang very nicely.
They were accompanied by Mrs. A.
j. Mcmillan at the piano.
After this number, Rev. VIM. Ell
lott, as clover of Books" gave a
talk on LITERATURE" and he told in
a forceful and interesting manner
what he considered the best way to
obtain the most good from reading.
Much depended upon the selection,
and he stated that an education could
be obtained through reading, but it
could not be done by hasty reading or
skipping through book. Books
should be read cline by line, word by
word, syllable by syllable, and even
letter by letter."
This was followed by a very inter-
esting and instructive talk by Miss
Margaret Kelly on 'Literatufe for
Children" She told how to select
the reading for children Of different
ages, and she had prepared number
of short graded lists of books suit
able for children of different ages,
which were available for any who
wished to h4e one. The program
was followed by a social hour with re-
freshments.,

U. S., Great Britain, Japan and
France Enter Into New
Understanding
DECISIONS REACHED IN
CONFERENCE LAST NIGHT
Jap Government Approval of
Navio Ratio Plan Is
Expected Soon
(By United PresS)

Washington, Dec. ), (By A. L..
Bradford) The Anglo-Japanese al
lance is scrapped The United States,
Great Britain, Japan and France have
entered into an understanding to take
the place of the alliance. Japan's en-
tering into the above conditions has
accepted the "5-5-3" naval limita-
ton plan Of the United States.
These steps in the worlds affairs,
the most important that have taken
place in the present conference, have
been virtually decided on by Hughes
for the United States, Balfour for
Great Britain and Kato for Japan,
it was learned today on the highest
authority This is a virtual decision
because. these steps have been SUBJ
mitted TO the home governments con-
cerncd by the delegates here and
only the final word Of approval from
some Of the governments is. necessary
before they are put into definite
shape and formally adopted.
These great decisions were reached
informally in u two-hour conference
last evening between the "big three
of the conference.
~ Thus are to be solved the most
!, important. questions bef9rel the arms
fmitntion conference. faSfTseSe Nscps
by the worlds great war statesmen
mean that the menace Of the Anglo
Japanese alliance to the United States
is to be removed, that war between
the United States and Japan is to be
made nearly impossible, and that the
Hughes plan for limitation Of naval
armament is to be definitely ac-
cepted
The understanding between the
United States, japan and France is
to have two main parts, the United
Press is informed, as follows:
That these great powers pledge
themselves to observe and maintain
to the best of their ability the peace
of the Pacific and the Far East.
Further to lessen the justice of
conflict among themselves these pow
ers agree to the unfortification OF the
Pacific islands.
Admiral Baron Kato, chief Of the
Japanese delegation, last night, immc-
diately after the conference of the
"big three,' sent an urgent secret
cable message to his government in
Toxic, seeking authority to accept
the 60 per cent naval ratio on the
above stated conditions.
Conditional acceptance was said
to have been given by Kato in the
conference of the "big three" Kato
is understood to have stressed to
Hughes and Balfour the necessity of
Japan having a 70 per cent naval
ratio from the standpoint of national
security, without some guarantees
such rs unfortification of the Pacific
Islands and the new Pacific under
standing.
The entire plan seems to have been
put up to Toxic and Japan is ex-
pected to accept. A reply will be
forthcoming in a few days from
Toxic.
The next plenary session of the
conference will be a momentous one.
It is then that Secretary Hughes is
expected to announce as an accom-.
plished fact the understand be-
tween the four big powers about to
take place.
