Q. What is the basis of the claim
that the government should pay the
money due Bethlehem workers under
wage award of the national labor
board.-W.S.
A. Bethlehem's contract with the
war department was known as the
increased cost" provision, as did
many war time contracts, which stipu-
lated that the government should pay
increased costs incurred for which the
contractor was not responsible.A wage
award by the government agency is
claimed to be an increase in the pro-
duction costs for which the contract
ing company should not be held liable.

Hearings on School Bond Issues

The hearings which the state board of tax
commissioners is conducting in various town.
ships of the county where school building
projects are under way serve a good purpose.
They give the taxpayers, the persons who
really pay for the construction of school build
ings and for their operation, an opportunity to
express their approval disapproval of bond
issues that cost them money.
One would hardly conceive of the citizens of
the various townships being so opposed to a
needed improvement in their local school organ
ization that they would fight bond issues unless
they had good reasons for it.
All of Them with only few exceptions, be-
lieve in good schools and want their children to
enjoy the best schooling that can be given to
them. But they also believe, judging from their
statements at the hearings, that there is finan-
cial limit to the amount of money which they
can spend for this purpose.
Most Of them act on the theory of parents
who wish to give their children art or music les
sons. If they can afford to purchase an instru-
ment and pay teacher, they give the child
musical education along with its other schooling,
but if they cannot it is dropped.
And so also in reference to the school system
New buildings, many of the taxpayers say, are
advantageous, but if the township cannot afford
to erect them at this time, it is manifestation
of common sense to postpone the improvement
until later
Broadly speaking, the educational problem is
a local one, over which the particular township
or community should have the final jurisdiction.
If the majority of taxpayers, acting upon all the
facts involved and basing their judgment entire
ly on what will best serve their community, be-
lieve an improvement is i'll advised, their wish
should be respected.

Dinner Stories

There are times when we are actual
ly compelled to take hat from head
to w. Randolph Hearst, especially
when he allows in his medium of in
formation lat tines) the statement
that maybe the reason most floor
walkers wear flower in their button
holes is because it wouldn't stay in
their hair"
He was a stupid looking, open
mouthed rustic type, selected by a
moving picture director to play the
part of a country store hanger on.
He fitted perfectly into the picture,
but his restless curiosity about the
camera proved a source of annoyance.
Every time the photographer started
grinding the old rustic would get
close up and gaze. The climax came
when he bumped into the camera and
set it swaying on its stand. The di-
rector rushed up angrily.
What's the matter with you? Have
you lost your mind?" he said.
"Mebbe," said the old man. And
then added thoughtfully: But l don't
miss it none

as his principal private secretary and
chief confdant. On Poincare's election
to the presidency of the republic in
1913, he promoted Martin to the post
of director of the protocole bureau, at
the department OF foreign affairs, an
office which carries with it the duties
and prerogatives of grand master OF
the ceremonies to the republic, and is
the principal channel of communica-
ton between the Quai d'Orsay and the
Palace of the Elysee.
During Poincare's presidency Martin
acquired a far greater degree of pow
er and influence than had been en-
joyed by any of his predecessors in
office, was consulted by the executive
on all sorts of matters and was en-
trusted by him with a number of con-
fidential missions, some of them OF
most vital importance, such as those
to London during the last few fateful
days Immediately preceding the out
break of the great war, in the summer
of 1914

mats and newspaper men who were IN

some form in their diet When this
is missing they frequently will resort
to eating soft coal, but this does not
have such beneficial results as the
charcoal.
Q. Does damp air weigh more than
dry ark P. NJ.

BODY MISSING PRIEST
FOUND BURIED AT FOOT
OF PACIFIC SAND CLIFF

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE body
OF Father Patrick E. Heslin, missing
Colma Catholic priest, who disappear
ed from his parish Holy Angels Catho-
lie church the night of August 2, was
found buried at the bottom of a sand
cliff near Salada beach on the Pacific
coast about 20 miles south of San
Francisco. Father Heslin had been
murdered and there was a bullet hole
through his heart and, through the
head, the latter shot having torn away
part of the skull The body, was eX-
humed at IL o'clock last night by a
party consisting of Chief of Police
Daniel O'Brien, of San Francisco,
Constable S. A. Landini, of Colma,
four newspaper men and William A.
Hightower, discoverer of the grave.
The party left San Francisco late
last night, acting on a tip given by
Hightower that he had discovered the
the light of lantern.
Hightower, after his clew had
proven successful, found the body
covered with two feet of loose sand.
~Hightower, according to the police.
said he acted upon a ciew given by a
Dolly Mason whom he had previously
known in Salt Lake City. This wo-
man. he said, told him last Sunday
hat she had met man who appeared
to be foreigner on Friday night and
who on becoming intoxicated had
made broken revelations to her. Po-
lice are searching for Dolly Mason.
The foreigner, Dolly Mason told High
tower, had shown her a pistol and
when she pretended to shrink from
t in fear, he said:
You do right to be afraid of that
sun 1t has taken human life"
Dolly Mason then asked where the
n.an was buried, ,Hightower said,
whereupon the stranger said "he is
not alone. I've a man who watches
all the time A man who sits and
cooks flapjacks."
At times the man, Dolly Mason
said, appeared frightened.
According to the information given
him by the woman, he said, he con-
..urted a personal investigation and
being somewhat familiar with the Sa-
| lada beach vicinity, had little diff
:ulty in locating a signboard pictur-
ng a man frying flapjacks, T. b..

DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT
RUINS MAY REVEAL BIT
OF IMPORTANT HISTORY

London. Aug. ia discovery
which, it is claimed, will form one of
the fundamental sources for history
Of the Roman Empire under Augustus
has been made recently by DR.. Oil
Ierio, and Italian savant in Cyrene,
the ancient Greek colony in Africa,
founded in the seventh century.
A morning Post correspondent,
writing from Cyrene. says that exca-
vations at Bengas'-the ancient Bere-
nice which stood in the midst of the
Gardens of the Hesperides near the
mouth of the river Lethe-have re-
suited in the unehrthing of a block
of marble eight feet long, one face
of which bears a flawless Greek in
scription of over 100 lines; the trans
lation of a letter from Augustus on
the government and administration OF
Justice in Cyrenaica, giving wonder
full insight into the financial and judi
cial conditions of the country at that
time.
Other interesting finds are a sane
tuary dedicated to eastern divinities,
probably of the time of Julian the
Apcs'ate, with a remarkably well-pre-
served black marble statue of an
Egyptian goddess An extensive Pto-
lematic cemetery also has been locat-
ed. At Apollonia, Christian basilica
Of the firth century is being lexcavated
and at Merdi, the ancient BARGE, some

which are held, to be Of great impor-
tance when the history of the Arab
