One hundred and ten pupils OF
the CAB and 7B grades have re-
sponded to Miss Phelps invitation
to pupils of those grades to form a
special class to study lettering.
Members will be divided into three

this work will learn the Old Eng
fish, the German, and the American
lettering. Work will begin as soon
as the material for it comes. 1t
was planned, Miss Phelps an
nounced Monday, to begin class
work, Saturday morning, Sept. "a,
as she hoped the material neces-
sary for the work would have ar
rived by that time.
This work will without doubt
prove very interesting as it will
lead to some very absorbing work
in lettering ii the pupils show
themselves equal to such work.
Miss Phelps has carried on class
es of this kind with much success
in other schools.

The QUEST BEGINS
TWO YEAR JOURNEY;
EXPLORER SETS OUT

Another fairy story OF history
has begun. Saturday, Sept. IT, the
little yacht. The Quest, on which
Sir Ernest Shackleton will explore
unmapped parts of land and sea
in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
left the Thames in London. Many
many people were gathered on the
docks to wish the explorer a sue
cessful voyage.
Scouts Hope to Exchange
Radio Messages With Quest
Boy Scouts in the United States
will attempt to exchange radio mes
sages with Scouts Mari and Moon
ey, the two British Boy Scouts who
are accompanying Sir Ernest in his
expedition.
Explorer Tells Children
His Hopes and Plans
Sir Ernest Shackleton has told
children in the Christian Science
Monitor, where he is going and
what he plans to do on this journey
of exploration.
Here is his story:
"A 3O.000-mile trip in the Allan
tiy and Pacific, and all sorts oil in
teresting things to be found and all
sorts of interesting work, scientific
or otherwise, to be done. That Is
our program for the next TWO
years. This was how Sir Ernest
Shackleton began telling about his
new expedition so that the children
who are interested in the big world
may know what it is that the Quest
with the big explorer and the Boy
Scouts on board are going SO Tar
to find.
What do we hope to find? Well,
a great deal about birds and fishes
and trees and rocks that we know
exist but which we now will have
time to watch and photograph. We
are just going to st. Paufs ROCKS,
a little island on the equator where
live wonderful birds of all kinds, !
and there our camera man Will get
pictures of the birds in their own |
homes. When we landed in Trini- |
dade in 1901 we saw some extraor- !
binary trees-they were petrliled,
but higher up was living tree fern. /
In these trees we saw big gannets
lying down, and nests here anu
there 1t will be very interesting
to find out all we can about these |
trees and birds And even more in
teresting perhaps will be the fish!
Imagine fishes with heads like
pigs, We saw them, and other
bright-colored ones in the little :
pools left when the tide went out.
We shall try to find out how long
they have lived and the reason for
their strange appearance.
Laboratories on Board.
ION board we are having fine
laboratories fitted up and sounding
machines. so that we can go right
down 10000 feet into the water to

plant which is growing at the 10
seph Moore school has reached its
growth and bursted. The plant,
which was grown by Miss Stafford,
who is the teacher for the 3A4B
grades Of that school, is healthy

in this room have decided to study
cotton-eyelything they can find
out about it-because they are so
interested in their plant.

| one of the big problems congress
will begin to think about now that

places after their short recess
The revenue bill which has vari-
Gus kinds of taxes which have
been proposed to raise the amount
of money needed will be thorough
ly discussed. One senat r,
Mr.. Smoot, a senator of Utah, has
suggested a salestax which plan
will probably be discussed in con-
gress. This plan would impose a

The National Association of Manu-
facturers has declared itself in ia
vor of Senator Shoots plan.
The conference between England

ereign state which England will
not recognize. On this account the
conference was called Off The
leader of a large part OF Ireland,
canon DeValera, has in a later
note explained that he was misun-
derstood and that he did not expect
England TO receive them as a re-
public. The conference may yet
be called.
Aristide BRAND, the French pre-.
mier or leader has decided to be
present in person at the conference
on lessing the nations preparations
for war which will meet in Wash

to relieve the condition. The con-
ference will begin Sept. 26.
China has agreed to let an Unit |

new RAILROAD RULE
WILL BE ENFORCED
Presidential Veto Placed On
Amendment Affecting
Carriers.

Washington.-Pres Wilson We
toed Tuesday the joint resolution de-
signed to suspend section OF the
Clayton act. prohibiting common car
riers from dealing with any concern
having interlocking directorates with
the carrier except to limited extent
as to contracts.
The measure vetoed was senate bill
No. 1926. amending section sol OF the
transportation act by extending the
effective date of section 10 OF the
Clayton act. The history of the Clay
ton bill as given in the presidents
message reveals that the act became
law on October 15 1914, and it was
provided that section 10 should not
become effective until two years af-
ter that date, in order that the car
riers and others affected might be
able to adjust their affairs so that
no inconvenience or confusion might
result
Further extension of time, amount
ing in all to mcFe than four years,
and two months have since been
made These weis in part due to the
institution of federsl control, but 10
months have now ebpsed since the re-
sumption of private operation. In all,
over six years have elapsed since this
enactment was put upon the statute
books, so that all interests concerned
have had long and ample notice of the
obligations it imposes"
In his message returning the reject
ed bill, the president mentioned,
among reasons for his veto, the opin-
ion that business waits for laws,
which will effectally prohibit and
prevent such interhckings of the per-
sonnel of the diretorates of great
orporations-bank and railroads, in
dustrial. commercial and public sery-
ice bodies-as in effect result in max
ing those who borrpw and those who
lend practically one and the same;

the same persons tnding with one an
other under differnt names. and in
different ,combinatMs, and those who
affect to competeA fact partners and
mastaaaas s2s fisaa sAsaas!a
THE grounds upon which further
extension of time for the enforcement
of the bill is asked, in addition to the
six years and more that have already
have been stated as follows:
Il. That the carrying into effect of
the existing provisions Of section 10
will result in needless expenditures
on the part of carriers in many in
stances.
go. That some Of its provisions are
and that the changed stat
us of the carriers and the enactment
Of the transportation act require re-
vision of section 10 in order to make
it consistent with provisions OF the |
act.
"3. When it is considered that the |
congress is now in session and can |
readily adopt suitable amendments if |
they shall be found to be necessary, |
such reasons for further delay appear |
to me to be inadequate. The sound |
ness of the principle embodied in sec
ton 10 appears to be generally admit
ted. The wholesome effects which ,
its application was intended to pro- /
duce should no longer be withheld |
from the public and from the common
carriers Immediately concerned, for
whose protection it was particularly
