COUNTY ORGANIZATION
TO SEEK Prevention
WILLIAMS REELECTION

A countrywide organization has
been perfected by citizens of the va
rious townships Of Wayne county, it
was learned Friday. having for its OBJ
ject the prevention of the reelection
of County Superintendent C. o. Will
liams.
Representatives from all points in
the county have attended two meet
ings to discuss the matter. Election
of the county superintendent occurs
on the first Monday in June, and is
by vote of the board of trustees. Ar
thur H. Hines. of Cambridge City, su-
perintendent of the Jackson township
schools, has been recommended as
successor to Williams.
Members of the temporary organi-
zation charge lack of ability, inefrl-
cheney in conduct of county schools.
an arbitrary attitude in forcing
schools upon townships in defiance OF
local wishes and needs, and opposition
to changes in the school system which
would tend to minimize his control OF
the school system.
Replies to Charges.
Mr.. Williams, in replying to the
charges today, points to the Indiana
statute defining qualifications as an
swer to questions of his ability and
fitness, stating that he can quallfV
under several separate points of ooth
the old and the new laws, only one
qualification being necessary. He said
all county school matters for when
he is directly responsible, such as
teaching force and instruction.. are ln
advance of other counties. and that
deterioration of buildings is due TO
local causes.
Respecting influence for new build
inss, he said that he has at no time
appeared in court, nor issued orders
from the office, and has used nc
means except moral suasion and ad
vice in promoting the establishment
of township buildings. He has tried
he said, to give country boys and girls
the same advantages as those of the
| city of Richmond.
AS for a. desire for more control
Mr.. Williams said the office alread!
has more work than he can properl!
handle, and he. would be in favor o
curtalment of his responsibilities
rather than an addition of new ones
| Says up to Citizens
| "If citizens OF the townships are uls
satisfied with me-" said Mr. Williams
the proper thing for them to do is Il
go to their trustees. and ask that the!
do not vote for me.
Trustees are the regularly electet
Representatives of the people and ar
supposed to be answerable to publ
opinion. In case the trustees do no
vote in accordance with public sent
ment, if they elect me in defiance o
the desire of their constituents, tn
people have a resource at the mex
trustee election when they may vot
the trustees out of office"
The organization which is opposin

cludes representatives in each towr
ship, who will endeaver to demon

township, where that is the case. wit
the expectation that where majorit
against Mr. Williams is shown, tn
trustees will vote accordingly. A pull

pointed.

Stamina and Endurance Also Needed
for Consuming "SimpIe Little
Dinner" in Roumania.

An interesting personal experience
was an invitation to dinner with a
real Roumanian family Tin Bucha-
rest). What seemed to me a count
less array of dishes containing most
delectable dainties was arranged on
sideboard in the apartment where we
were received.
First came paStrama, small pieces
of mutton grilled with Zuika, kind
of native rum. This pastrama has
marvellous flavor. But person eat
ing it for the first time cannot swal-
low it. He chews it and chews it like
a piece of American gum, first in one
cheek and then in the other. without
knowing what to do with it. 1t is an
embarrassing situation, because the
room and you are expected to talk
while you are eating it. received
my portion in an unguarded moment
while conversing with an enchanting
girl in a pompadour. Then we went
into the dining room.
One course followed the other. One
eats-at first in an inquiring spirit,
because the dishes are all novel, and
later because he likes his food-for
three or four hours. At the conclusion,
the hostess apologies for the simple
fare, explaining that the occasion is
intended merely to be an informal, in
innate little dinner affording an op-
portunity to discuss music and other
immaterial things with the artist
Leo Slezak, formerly of Royal Opera

TRAVEL PICTURES FOR POSTS
Films Embracing One Thousand Top
les, for Use of All Legion
Organizations.

BY arrangement between the Amer
lean Legion and the bureau Of COM
mercial economics, the most complete
and valuable collection of educational
and travel motion picture films in ex-
istence will be placed at the disposal
Of the Legion for free exhibition un-
der the auspices of all posts. The
films, which embrace 1000 separate
topics, are the property of the bureau,
an altruistic institution the sole aim
of which is to advance education and
pride in American institutions.
At the instance Of national head
quarters, the bureau has prepared a
special catalogue in which each film
is numbered and described. A copy
Of this catalogue will become the prop
erty Of each Legion post. The only
expense attached to posts ordering the
films will be the payment Of express
charges to and from the nearest dis
tributing center Of the bureau. No adj
mission fee may be charged by the
post.
A distributing center for the films
will be established in almost every
state. Responsibility for the trans
mission Of the catalogues and the in
formation concerning the location of
distributing centers to which each
post must apply for films, rests with
the state departments.
The story of the establishment OF
the bureau of commercial economics
is that of a fulfillment Of a VOW which
blind man took years ago, should his
sight be restored. DR.. Francis Hol-
ley, the founder and director of the
bureau, vowed to work for the bet
terment of mankind when he recov-
cred his sight, and the brueau is the
result.
