Salary remains at $3.50 a year, the fg

In the reception and handling OF
boys placed in its care ST. Mary's
School is strictly non-sectarian, the
creed or nationality of a boy having
nothing whatever to do with his adj
mission to the school. Of the 1900
boys who have been trained at the
school since it's inception more than 80
per cent. of them have become good
citizens and are holding positions in all
the professions and in the business
world.
/ On dhe day the school was burned
about one-half of the 904 boys in the
school were from Baltimore and the
State of Maryland. The others came
from SO states and even from Argen-
tina, South America, where the fame
Of the school had reached.
During the World War ST. Mary's
School responded to the call most
loyalty, no less than 7S5 boys enlisting
directly out Of the school, while a
partial list of former pupils that took
art in the war totals over 5000
names, Albert H. Vogel, the first
Maryland man to be killed in the great
war, was graduate of st. Marys
School
St Mary's Industrial School is an
institution of which this section and
the entire State of Maryland can well
be proud. During the IS years Of it's
existence every city, town and hamlet
n the State has had boys from it's
neighborhood in the institution for
training and in every instance, with
exceptions that are so few as to be
almost negligible, the boy has been
turned out a Straightforward, honest
and upright citizen.
This, in itself, is enough to make the
appeal of the school for a 100000
fund for rebuilding 1t and allowing 1t

SOLUTION FOR FUEL PROBLEM
and Water to Replace
Coal.

Paris.-Wind and water hold the So
luton of the fuel shortage in France,
K. Colardeau told his associates at the
Academy of Sciences at its last meet
ing.
He presented what he considered
proof In the results Of an installation
on his kitchen faucet of water tur-
bine' which drives a dynamo that
charges storage batteries.
City pressure on the water, he ex-
planned, Is sufficient to furnish
household with electric light.
In the country, NJ. Colardeau would
install windmills to pump water to ele-
waited tanks and utilize the fall Of the
water through pipe to turn the
charging turbine.
New interest has been taken here In
this idea of household installations,
because the higher costs Of fuel and
power. it is considered, may make
practicable these water turbines.

U. S. DOOMS BURROS AS PEST
Animals Charged With Destroying the
Beauty of Grand Canyon of
the Colorado.

Washington.-The lowly burro, en-
shrined in western legend as the
heroic prOspector, has been officially
classed as ''veritable pest by the
United States government.
This animal, and its progeny In
countless numbers, abandoned by it's
former owners, according to Stephen
T. Mather, director Of the national
park service, has selected the Grand
canyon Of the Colorado for its habitat,
and the availability Of the canyons

most disappearing.
The burro, Mr.. Mather says, de
strOys the trails, denudes the pastures
Of grass and other forage so that na-
tive wild game, such as antelope, has
been forced out" He adds that the
time is not far distant when radical
steps will have to be taken to elm
