bonds secured by farmers paper tc
ten times the amount of theil
capital. These bonds will be SOLD

Tying the Knot

flying the knot" is an old ex-
preston, and as many of our girls
will be married this month, the ORR
gin of this phrase is interesting.
In ancient Babylon a priest took a
thread from the garment of the
bride and another from the garment
of the groom. These he tied into
knot and presented it to the bride
as symbol of the binding nature
of the union between her and her
husband.

How to Start a Parade

Get a package about twelve inches
long and about four inches in dia-
meter, and have it wrapped in a
newspaper SO that one end comes
down to long tapering point.
Then put the package under your

That's all--Eagle Case.

LETTER MEN SUB"
 FOR COACH WOODY

Under a plan approved by the col iege faculty, athletics at Hendrix College until the return of Coach Charles R. Woody will be directed by the Fl" association, which is com- posed of students who have won their numerals in athletics. Jack Schisler captain of the basketball team, is in charge of the court game and base bll training will be directed by Wiley Montgomery, captain-elect, and Jeff Farris. Infield and outfield candidates will be handled by Montgomery, and Paris will handle the pitchers and catchers. The two students will have charge until Coach Woody returns.
 Schisler and his fellow players on the basketball team demonstrated their worth last week by the four game streak of victories at Arkadel- phia against Ouachita and Henderson Brown. Farris and Montgomery were mainstays on the diamond last year, but were ruled ineligible this season on account of alleged professionalism. Dr. Charles J. Greene, president of the college, is said to have approved their selection as substitutes for Woody, despite their loss of standing | in amateur ranks.

Building Disaster
Hunt Ends at Man
Who Injured Foot
Firennen, Policemen, Res
cue Squad and Ambu-
lances Dash Around
Seeking Fallen Structure

A report was received at Police
Headquarters in Brooklyn about 6
o'clock last night that brick tene-
ment building at South Eleventh and
Berry streets had collapsed. The re-
port did not say whether there had
been any loss of life, but there were
many families in the building at the
time, so the rumor ran, and many Of
these were believed to have been
caught beneath fallen walls.
At SOP o'clock the alarm was trans
mitted to the Bedford Avenue, Brook
lyn, police station A call was also sent
to the Williamsburg Hospital for am
balances, and Manhattan Police Head
quarters was notified to send Rescue
Squad No. to the scene without de-
lay. The Bedford Avenue police sta
ton, besides rushing a squad of re-
serves to Berry Street, notified hook
and ladder company in Clymer Street
of the disaster.
At GIT the apparatus of the hook
and ladder company was changing its
way through Berry Street, looking for
fallen building. At South Tenth
crowd surging without purpose back
and forth, and blocking traffic.
Just at this moment a patrolman
pufed up, said something tN the driver
of the truck and g moment later the
fire company was dashing toward
Eleventh Street. The crowd followed
with rush
The fire truck came to q stop in front
of 65 South Eleventh Street, factory
building occupied by l.. Mundit & Sons
cork manufacturers. The structure
was intact, and, much to the amaze
ment Of the crowd, the firemen took no
note of this, but dashed into the build
ing at once. Nor did the perspicacity
OF the two ambulance surgeons who
dashed up five minutes later. or the
rescue squad from Manhattan, which
reached the scene. at $3.50, appear, in
the eyes Of the crowd, to be any
greater. For they all entered the fac
tory without stopping to take cogni-
zance of the fact that it was intact.
Then, at 1856 o'clock, after nearly an
hour Of waiting, the rescue squad left
the building, followed by the firemcn,
several patrolmen and the ambulance
surgeons. The crowd drew back at the
sight Of the last two named, for be-
tween them they assisted Barney
Panettiera, laborer, of 1873 Union
Street, who had suffered crushed foot
when freight elevator cable in the
building slipped. But where was the
fallen building and the mangled fam
lies, crushed as they sat at their sup
pers? asked the disappointed crowd

Hylan Tactics
Crowd Pupils
Out of School
Mothers Deplore Conditions
Which Shut Kindergar-
tens to Many Because of
Lack of Accommodations
Double Session Attacked
Aroused Parents Ask What
Training Can Children
Get by Such Makeshifts?

Several mothers who discussed yes
terday the deplorable condition of the
city's school system-a condition due
to the failure of the Hylan administra-
tion to provide adequite school facili-
ties-called attention to the fact that
the public school kindergartens are
crowded to such an extent that it is
impossible for many children to obtain
kindergarten instruction anywhere.
Mrs. E. J. Campbell, of 1929 Webster
Avenue, would like to put one OF her
little girls in kindergarten if she could
find place for her
"She really ought to be there" she
said, "but there is no room for her.
Little children need Individual atten-
ton, and it would be impossible for her
to get this at the kindergarten at Pub
lie School SO, even if she were able t.
get in"
Mrs. Annie Romer, of 1928 Webster
Avenue, was unable to get her little
girl in the kindergarten at Public
School SO, in East 168th Street.
1--WE were away for week and when
I came back they told me that the room
was quite filled up" she said. "The
teacher did say that if the child had
been here at the first of the term there
might have been a place for her, but
that would simply have meant that
some other child would have been kept
out, and of course that is not what a
mother wants. Maybe some child might
have been kept out whose mother had
to go to work, or something like that
| don't want my little girl to pet her
education at the expense of some other
child. But there ought to be room
enough for all This is not such a
crowded district, as many children gc
to the parochial schools. Som etimes
wonder what would happen if those
schools suddenly closed up; it would
be dreadful.'
Another mother who has found the
city's school system intolerabIe is Mrs
NJ. Wilson, of 1882 Webster Avenue
She declared that the double session
plan caused children to undergo many
hardships
THE double session does nothing
more than keep children at school SO
many hours a day" she said, at doesn't
mean giving them five hours of in
struction, or even of supervised study.
lhey must shift in and out of audito-
RUNS, INTO the yards, take long walks
and stand in line like people going to
circus. What kind of an education
can child get under such conditions ?
You needn't tell me that they get just
as much out Of school as if they went
IN the oold-fashioned way. Any mother
knows better than that-and so do the
teachers.
"Mothcrs simply must take a hand in
tins situation. Now that women have
the right to vote they ought to have
something to say about how schools
shall be run"
