Penalized for Voting Against Schoo

AchdiiLeu LOT Young Against School
Keokuk, Iowa-Keokuk high school
will operate on college basis this
coming year, and much of the res
possibility of discipline of young
people, which heretofore has been
delegated to the schools, will be
handed back to the parents, by the
school board.
Two elections were held last
year to vote on a bond issue for the
new high school building, but both
were lost. Crowded conditions of
the school have made it necessary
to find some way to make room for
the students.
The plan was hit upon of having
part of the pupils come in the
morning, and part in the afternoon.
The schedule has been so adopted
by the board, and pupils will at
tend sessions part of the day, and
will do their studying at home.
Heretofore the studying has been
done under direction of teachers.
Now the study periods will of nee
essity be curtailed or abolished in
school, and the old book strap and
midnight oil will once more be in
use.

Roman Use Of Concrete.

The Romans discoveries in concrete
mixing made it possible for them to
make prodiglous strides in engineer
ing and architecture. At the foot of
Vesuvius were immense deposits of
reddish sand or volcanic ash called
pozzuolana, which. when added TO lime
mortar, made hydraulic cement. This
gave TO the Romans concrete OF
extraordinary strength and perman-
ence, which hardened under water as
well as in the air, sad became the
basis OF their entire System Of building.

diately inserted in all contracts of q
large film producing corporation, it

The action was taken, statement by

the company has no direct interest in
that case. or any similar one.
The attorneys pointed out that as
contracts have been drawn, com

to pay the salary of an acter or act
ress who forfeits the respect of the
public" but has to bear the obliquy
of still having thes in its employ.

AUSTRIA HOPES

America Will Assist Plan
For Restoration

GENEVA, Sept. 81. - (By the AS
sociated Press.) - Austria still hopes
that the United States will waive
priority of payment of reparations
and other credits. to permit applica-
tion of the plan for the economic re-
storation of the country. Count Mems
dorff, head of the Austrian delega-
tion, informed the financial commits
sion of the league assembly today.
1T seems most unlikely he said,
that the great republic whose peo-
pie came forward when famine was
threatening in Vienna and for more
than two years provided food for hun
dreds of thousands of children, should
stand back when other countries have
released u.s."
Discussion developed that the res
toration plan is ready for execution
whenever the United States joins
with the other countries.
Count Apponiyi arrived today to pre-
sent Hungarys claim for admission.
He declared that the report that Hun
garian troops were in Burgenland
were untrue, and that all the trouble
there was caused sy local armed
bands, for which the Hungarian gov
ernment was not responsible.
