SCHOOL BUDGET SHOWS GAIN
Cost Fifty Per Cent More For Eduoa.
ton Than Three Year. Ago

According to figures recently com
piled by the clerk of the town school
committee. NJ. H. Geissler, the cost Of
maintaining the public school system
has increased so per cent in three
years. For the year ending July Ia,
1921, the expense account was s5s.-
s12.32, the largest il has ever been.
The cost for the year i9i9-f920
was s9,047.0l. about 10 per cent less.
The increase BY years Is shown in
he following figures: 1926-f92i. S5s.-
s12,s2; 1919-1920. sac. 1851; 1915
1919, SAB, 70314; 1917-191s, SEE
972.07.
The largest advances are al the
high school, chiefly because Of in
crease in teachers salaries and in
crease in the cost of fuel The actual
cost to the taxpayers Is not so large
as these figures indicate since they are
gross, and do not include deductions
for income from tuition or state
grants.

Manly Force Demanded
The male types which are most IN
demand are not those whose appeal is
through physical beauty. Audiences
are sirk OF large eyed. romantic heroes,
aud are demanding little manly force
and character in their heroes.
To film well. a mans head should
bc large, rugged, with the features
eut IN masses. like a Rodin bust
Whether he IS attempting 10 play
juveniles leads or "heayies.' his
face must possess the cardinal requis-
lite OF character. Deep set eyes,
strong chin, a iuttiHg forehead,
prominent nose are all desirable.
Again. the high cheek bones and long
face appear desirable characteristics.
William S Harris success depends
largely on these two simple character
istics OF facial structure.

hair an essential Tor screen beauty.
Wigs and trick arrangements of the

In analysing your own face, then,
ask yourself the following questions /;
Are my eyes large?

Is my mouth small and are my teeth
good
Is my nose straight
Has my face character. something

WHAT REAL VACATION MEANS
Play Is the Foundation, and That Con-
sists Of Doing Anything That
Is Not Work.

A real vacation, If you can get one,
consists of play, asserts Preston Slos'
son in the New York Independent.
Play Is the opposite of work. Play Is
whatever Is done for its own sweet
sake. If you build fire to warm
yourself or to cook a dinner you are
at work.
If you build q bonfire because you
like to see sparks redden against the
sable background Of the night you are
at play. If you dance to improve
your waistline or to learn a new step
you are working.
If you dance because you "just
can't make your feet behave" when
the orchestra starts, you are playing.
Il you 60 fishing to catch fish you
are as much at work as if you were
building bridges or writing editorials
to make money. Ii you go fishing IN
the true fisherman's spirit you won't
care much whether they bite or not.
The vacation mind is a law unto
itself. If 1t enjoys an occupation it
keeps on while the enjoyment lasts,
thought every fiber Of the tired body
may be shouting quit"
II 1t ceases to enjoy an occupation
it stops at once, though it create con-
sternati0n all around. A real vaca.
ton Is a trip into fairyland, where
the natives never heard of duties or
obligations and the only law is do
what you really like"

Vanishing Languages.

Nowhere in America has there been
such a diversity o: Indian languages
as in California. But these languages
are now rapidly disappearing. Several
of them are known Only by five OF
six, and others only by twenty or
thirty living persons, and hardly a
year passes without some dialect, or
even language, ceasing to exist
through the death Of the last indl,
vidual able to speak 1t. Efforts are
being made to record all these Ian
guages for the sake of the light they
throw on the ancient history OF the
Pacific c0ast.-Washingt0n Star.

FIVE WATCH WHILE
ANOTHER FLEE S

Homer, La, Aug. 17.-About mid
night last night a prisoner in the par
ish Jail succeeded in saving the bars OF
his cell with a hack saw. Five men
keep a lookout while he made good his
escape. A negro in the run-arOund
could have escaped, but was prevented
by the men who kept guard. 1t is sup
p )sed that someone passed a saw
through the bars to the prisoner.
Sheriff j. W. Coleman stated that
this is the twentieth prisoner who has
escaped from the Jail in the last Il
months. "The Jail here" stated Mr.
Coleman, lis hardly more than hold
over 1t is comparatively easy for any
Of the prisoners to escape if they try
Prisoners we want to keep have to be
sent to Shreveport The fact that the
Jail Is not more secure encourages
crime, because minor criminals become
fearless of the law, knowing that they
can escape as soon as they want to-
This is deplorable state of affairs
and 1t Is to be hoped that the citizens
Of Claiborne parish will take steps tC
remedy this matter as soon as posi-
ble."
