boy when Mother Bear had charged
at him because she thought he was
going to hurt Boxer. Or course,
any one would have been frightened.
He had been still worse frightened
when IT seemed to him that Bears

shaking from his sudden fright and
ne was IN a hurry to get away from
that berry patch lest he stumble over
some more Bears. He wae so excited
that he completely forgot his two
pals Of berries until he was half

about nothing but Bears.
Such funny look az passed over

succeeded in wedding out the tophcavy
classes, and the programs OF the boys
have been rearrangcd to average up
the various periods Of instruction.
In this manner, the necessity Of plac-
ing the main building on double ses-
sion basis, such as exists in the ma
jority of the other high schools, has
been avoided Every classroom, the
auditorium and gymnasiums, however,
arc in use every moment.
Recently seven other teachers have
been added, and there is not a vacant
seat in any part Of the achool during
sessions. Some of the classrooms find
boys seated two on scat.
The large registration cuts down The
efficiency of the school materially. be-
cause Of the time taken in changing
from class to class ut the end of each
instruction period This change is ac-
companled in as orderly manner as
possible. but with boys moving about
the building in all directions, because
of the variety Of their program, there
is necessarily slight confusion and de-
lay.

Two annexes are used to relieve the
congestion Of this school. In one of
them-P. S. 81. at 1l3 East Eighty
seventh Street there are 1,5oO stu
dents on double session basis. The
other annex is in p. S. So, at 3l5 West
Fifty-second Street, and also is on
double session.
During the first month Of the term
some Of the confusion arising out OF
the tremendous registration and the
failure of the Hylan administration to
build any high schools during It's term
of Office, has been overcome, and The
classes have been better balanced. In
addition to this some Of the boys have
obtained employment, others have been
transferred to other schools, and few
have failed to return to school. In
spite of this, however, the registration
OF the school Is still 5,914.
Faced by an unprecedented situation
that was caused by the breach of
Mayor Hylan's campaign promise to
provide seat for every child, the sd
ministrative officers of De Witt Clin

THE HOTEL WORKER.

HE hotel worker gets her board
i and usually her lodging, as well
as her salary. The salaries run from
300 to $3.50 a month. Hotel positions
are interesting and important. A girl
must have intelligence, a good pres
ence, good manners, and level head.
She has responsibilities, and she ought
to be a Judge Of human nature. The
room clerk must have a good memory,
so that even with large clientele she
will remember the different guests who
are making her hotel their home, and
she should be able to size up applicants
for rooms without hesitation.
The desk clerk comes into direct
contact with the guests. She Is sta
toned at the desk in the main lobby,
and must be ready to answer all sorts
OF questions regarding not only the ho-
tel, but the city. She must be smart
in appearance, have tact, courtesy and
unfailing good humor.
The floor clerk accepts packages, an
swers phone calls, pays for Q. o. d.
parcels. She often does stenography
for guests. She receives, sorts and de-
livers the mail for her floor. And she
too, answers questions.
Then there are the restaurant posi-
lions, the cafe cashier, the food check
er, the waitress. All these positions
are good ones.
Moreover, there are the summer ho-
tells, where girl gets room. board and
salary, varying according to the type
Of hotel. Many college women help
themselves through college In this way.
For the ambitious girl without def
Mite training hotel work is to be rec
commended as an excellent way to earn
an independent living.

LIQUOR POURING

DECISION OF WINDSOR JUDGE
THAT EXPORT SHIPMENTS ARE
LEGAL, STARTS FLOOD.
U. S. AGENTS SEEM HELPLESS
Prohibition Enforcement Officials Say
There Are Too Few Agents to
Stop Illicit Trade.

Detroit.-A deluge of whisky and
beer is pouring into down-river towns
and from them into Detroit.
Rum running from Canada, which
was well-nigh stopped when Ontario
went dry, July 49, has not only been
resumed, but is assuming greater
proportions than ever, following a rul-
ing OF Magistrate w. e. Gundy in
Windsor police court He decided that
Canadian officers had no right to stop
shipments Of liquor destined for the
United States. or any other point out
side Ontario.
Canadian customs officers thereafter
determined that since such shipments
were legal, they had no right to deny
them clearance papers. They are is
suing clearance papers to anyone who
asks for them, covering shipments Of
all sizes.
A. T. Montreuil, collector Of Gus
toms, at Windsor said that under the
law Re was powerless to refuse clear
ance papers for shipments intended
for the United States and that he
would issue such papers even for the
smallest craft.
Windsor police protested them
selves unable to interfere with the
liquor traffic. Inspector Mousseau
said he was not taking any steps to
appeal Magistrate Gundy's decision,
but that the case would be referred to
Toronto authorities and that any &C
ton would have to come from there.
United States prohibition officials
said there are too few prohibition en-
forcement agents to prevent the ship
ments entirely, with or without the
magistrates ruling.
Captains of the rum running indus
try, who had retired from business
shortly after July IS, when scarcity
of liquor made their operations too
much labor in view Of their new
wealth, have returned to the field.

dark, they might like it in Wood
ville."
So off to Woodville they trotted,
and under the tree where Mr.. Owl
lived they began their music.
When Mr.. Owl heard the terrible
noise outside, he ducked under the
clothes and hid, for what was after
him he could not think.
But after a while, as nothing hap
pened but the noise, Mr.. Owl pOked
out his head, and then got up. But
instead of getting out of the right
side of his bed, as he first started to
do, he got out this time on the wrong
side, which made him very cross.
He ran to the window and threw 1t
up with a bang, and Tom Kitten and
Bah Rabbit were sure this time they
were to get a mouse or a radish.
Each held up his hat and said:
"Pity two poor orphans and give us
something"
"rll give you something" said Mr..
Owl, for he was cross when he went
to the window, but when he saw who
it was he was crosser than ever.
Mr.. Owl did not wait to dress. He
flew right out of the window just as
he was, in his night cap and slippers,
and down he pounced upon the two
orphans.
He carried them up to his window,
and there is no knowing what would
have happened If the window had
been large enough for Mr.. Owl and
Tom Kitten and Bah Rabbit to get
through all at once, but II wasn't, and
Mr.. Owl, thinking Tom Kitten was
rabbit and could not get away, he sat
him down on limb of the tree until
he could put Bah Rabbit inside.
No sooner did he let go Of Tom
Kitten than away he went down the
tree and off at his best running speed.
Old Mr.. Owl was so surprised that
he dropped poor Bah Rabbit and the
moss under the tree was thick, and
so when he struck it Bah Rabbit
jumped up pretty quick and ran hip
perty-hop-leap away from around Mr..
Owls home.
Tom Kitten and Bah Rabbit had a
very hard time explaining how they
tore their clothes, and to punish them
their mothers made them stay in bed
all the next day, and you may be sure
that neither of them ever again want
ed to play orphans.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re.

color dates back to grandmother
time. She used 1t to keep her hail
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac'
tive. Whenever her hair took on thai
dull, faded or streaked appearance
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking al
any drug store for a bottle Of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients, which can be depended up.
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says II darkens the hair 80 naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen q
sponge or soft brush with II and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy. .

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS

something made up "out Of the

usually sprung at the last mo-
ment so that there will not be
time successfully to contradict
1t. But "canard," In French
means a duck. There doesn't
appear to be much connection be-
tween the two-but there Is, In
fact the whole thing goes back
to ducks, twenty of them
Norbert Cornelissen, O French
man who lived during the last
century, determined to expert
ment With the credulity Of the
public and reported to the news
papers that he had flock Of
ducks, twoscore In number, OF
which he took one, cut II into
small pieces and threw the bits
to the other nineteen, which de-
voured them ravenously. Then,
scarcely giving the ducks time
to get hungry, Cornelissen re-
peated the experiment and was
once more successful. In an
amazingly short space Of time"
he declared, "the flock was re-
duced to single duck, which
had eaten his nineteen broth
ers."
Scientists and naturalists
argued about the matter for
some days through the columns
Of the Partisan papers Then
Cornelissen confessed that the
whole thing was hoax. There
shad never even been q flock Of
ducks, just the one that he kept
for purposes Of exhibition. But
The report had gained so much
publicity that the phrase "duck
story" was implanted In French
slang, much as fish story" Is an
