HONOR SYSTEM AT VACATION SCHOOL
Boys Conduct Class Without
 Teacher Young Ladies Make Hit

The honor system is being put to use with satisfactory results up to the present time, at the Daily Vacation Bible school in Center Congregation al church. Mrs. George Clary, being absent at the Northfield conference, three of the boys in her basketry class, most interested in the basket making art have been put on their honor. by Rev. F. R. Wilkins, su
 perintendent, to go ahead with their studies and practice without teach
 Rev. MT. Wilkins reports being very much pleased with the way the boys are going ahead on their own re- sponsibi1ity. Other boys in the same class, who were not so far advanced, have been distributed among the other classes for the present.
 Not the least important among the various classes in the school is the class conducted by Gertrude Erwin in cooking. This class is limited to five girls, because of the lack of facilities and the expense of provid- 1 ing materials for lessons. sSpecim mens of the culinary art have been turned out in this department during the | past two weeks which would do
 credit to more seasoned housewives. | Pineapple pudding is a delicacy (which often frightens a bride on her l first cooking lessons, but not these 1 young ladies. Pineapple pudding has been met and conquered, cornmeal mullins are old stories, custards are
 merely nothing to the class; English 1 monkey, a feature dish on the order
 of Welsh rarebit and served on toast,
 prune whip and baked bean timbals
 are among the problems of domestic
 science which have gone down to de-
 feat before the onslaughts of Juvenile 1 enthusiasm and expert instruction | Nut cup cakes was the feature dish 1 this morning. A large pan Of these l toothsome dainties was drawn, smok- ] ing Ahot, from the oven just as the | Rev MT. Wilkins and the Herald rep resentative entered the kitchen
 It is planned to sell few articles 1 such as cup cakes, etc, to those who l desire to purchase. The proceeds to be used towards the expenses or the
 class. Many things in the line ot dishes, mixing bowls, bake pans, etc,
 are needed and the gift or loan of these articles would be appreciated
 at the school.

ANXIOUS WAITING
 ALL OVER ENGLAND
Eyes Of Empire Are Turned on ,sS
 Dublin Parliament

London, July 22.-(By Associated Press)-The Irish situation today en- tered into period of anxious wait ing, pending the announcement of. Ireland's attitude toward the govern ment proposals handed Eamonn De Valera, the Irish republican leader. by Premier Lloyd George, yesterday.
 The Irish leader sailed from Holy head for Dublin this afternoon and it was understood the nature of the peace terms would not be published until he had conferred with his col leagues and replied to Lloyd George.
 A copy of the governments pro- posals was delivered the Ulster cab inet this morning, but it's delivery seems to have been merely a formal itv as Lloyd George made no request for an opinion concerning the terms.
 The press generally assumes that the basis of the discussion for set clement will be the present home rule act since the government does not desire to place itself in the uncom- fortable position of repeating an- other act and Ulster is known to be opposed strenuously to a re- peal of the act. It is predicted in some quarters, however, that pub1i- cation of the governmental proposal will reveal that the prime minister has offered each section of Ireland dominion home rule with reservations to safeguard England's naval and military position.
 Some political writers glean hope from the fact that De Valera has re- turned to Dublin to discuss the terms with the Sim Fein council, these writers asserting this shows he con- siders the offer of the government worthy of consideration.
 Belfast, July 22.-(By Associated Press)-4A copy of the Irish peace terms handed by Premier Lloyd George yesterday to Eamonn De Va 1era was placed before and considered by the Ulster. cabinet today. No opinion on the terms was requested by the British premier, it is stated, and none has been given.
 London. July 22.-(By Associated Press)-The British governments proposals to Eamonn De Valera, the Irishzrepublican leader for peace in Ireland. probably will not be made public until definite reply to the governments terms has been receiv- ed from the Sim Fein leaders in Dub- lin, it was stated in official circles here this afternoon.
 Premier Lloyd George will be able to make a comprehensive statement concerning the peace terms in the house of commons next week, it was added.

 Years.

A hearing in the case was given yesterday before the com pensation commissioner. The hearing showed that the deceased had paid regular board and had also done work around the house, and had made cash contributions to the support of the family in addition to his regular board. The deceased contributed S17.68 week to the support of his mother, it was estimated.

In this the compensation com missioner disagreed, and ordered the above sum paid weekly for the above mentioned period of time.

Saves Drowning Man in Connec-
 ticut River
 Oscar Peterson, formerly of this city where he lived on Park street, and now employed in Hartford, rescued himself from the Connecticut river on Wednesday afternoon and later res cued another man whose helpless con- dition attracted attention from the shore.
 Peterson and a chum of his were in swimming in the Connecticut river They were attired in bathing suits Later they decided to go canoeing and
 remained dressed for the water. They were padding quietly along and ap- preached one of the derricks being used on the stream outside of Hart ford. Fate was at play and the boys were called into the game. Just as their canoe reached a point near the derrick, and without a single bit | warning, the mass of steel dropped l into the water not many inches from the canoe itself. The force with which 1 it struck the water turned over the canoe and precipitated the two boys | into the water. Both were able to swim and made the nearest shore. Hardly had they recovered from l that little bit of excitement, when another chapter was added. A young man farther down the river was in distress and his call for help was heard Without hesitation Peterson jumped into the stream and sWam toward the drowning man. He grab bed him by the hair, as he was sink ing, and with his friends aid brought hib to shore thus saving his life.
