! SPECIAL SESSION ZOE
TUESDAY NIGHT.
Last year Mr.. Flack raised the rent
| from SIS to $50 month on the room and
last night the board received a letter
raising it to $25. This aroused the wrath
of Mr.. Gadd. why he is getting more
now for that room than for the rest of
the building" he said, "and / am for
giving it back to him"
The matter of salaries for library en-
ployes which was deferred at the special
meeting of the board last week was put
over again to give the finance committee
and Mr.. Douglass time to look into tie
whole list. Charles E. Rush, librarian
urged that some action be taken before
July 1, but no definite date was set for
taking uD the matter.
1t was contended by Mr.. Allison that
now is the time to hold down expenses
and not to increase them. He pointed out
that all along the line there has been a
steady tendency towards increased sal
aries, and he said that In view of present
conditions a salary of $1,000 a year is in
fact fully is per cent higher than the
came salary year ago.
Mrs. Julia Belle Tutewiler contended
that librarians are underpaid as com
pared to regular school teachers.
"They are required to meet the same
standard as teachers, they put In longer
hours, but they draw less salary" she
said
Purchase of additional vacant ground
for school purposes while real estate
prices are low was advocated by Charles
L. Barry and Mr.. Gadd, and 1t is prob
able that special meeting OF the board
will be called to consider this proposal
sometime during the summer.
A special meeting of the board will be
held next Tuesday evening to open bids

BIDDER TAKES
RAP AT BOARD.

Severe criticism OF past action Of the
board was contained in letter from the
johnson Service Company of Chicago,
manufacturers Of a temperature regula-
ting device. The letter stated that the
company desired TO bid on temperature
regulation next Tuesday for Schools
Nos. 81 and Ts. and then added:
1--WE think 1t right, however, to advise
you that we do not feel we have received
fair consideration from your board ana
engineers on previous work contracted
for during the past year" The letter
then said that the company would not
bid unless assured that 1t would be
awarded the contract II it was the lowest
bidder.
During the discussion that followed
Bert S. Gadd, board member, and Ralph
w. Douglass, business director, said
that In tha past the Johnson product had
been good out the service of the COM
pany amounted to nothing.
W. d. Allison said that something
should be done to establish real compe-
tition and pointed out that for some
time past only one kind of temp erture
regulation has been used on new build
ings. Finally Mr.. Douglass was in
structed 10 notify the Johnson Service
Company that its bid would be welcomed.

WOMAN HUNTS BIG
GAME FOR NERVES

London.-If you're a woman trou-
bled with nerves." try hunting the
lion and the gentle rhinoceros for a
cure.
Mrs. Alexander Daiziel, of New
York, did it. She is now in London
on her way back from perilous trip
through the East African jungle.
Mrs. Daiziel's quest for health was
not exactly healthy for the inhabi-
tants of the jungle, for her "bag'
included one elephant, two rhinoce-
ros, three hippopotamus and seven
lions.
"It was really a health trip from
first to last" said Mrs. Daiziel.
"Big game hunting always appeal
ed to me, and when the doctors said
1 had to take a trip for my health
something that would take me out
of myself-there was no doubt in
nv mind what that something would
be-"
Mrs. Daziel had one thrilling en-
counter with rhinoceros that she
is not likely to forget.
"We were journeying through the
Jungle tunnels connecting the wa.
ter holes when Sir Charles Ross, who
accompanied us, hit a rhinoceros as
it lay asleep.
"The wound was not mortal and
the animal disappeared among the
bushes. was some way behind and
thought it would be better to take
cover, but before / had gone far /
heard a laundering noise and the
pain-maddened animal charged
down on me, sending myself and two
natives headlong into the priekly
bush by the force of the impact as it
brushed past us. If we had been
right in its path I shudder to think
what would have happened to u.s."
Another time she shot lion just
as it leaped at her. It struck the
ground dead.
MRS. Daziel thinks that big game
huntoing is an ideal sport for wo-
men.
'I know of nothing better for
nerves." she said, "and now in the
future when I feel that I want a
rest and change I shall fly from
the noise and the hustle of New
York to seek peace and quietness in
the African jungle among the lions
and other inhabitants"

New York, Oct. 1.-George H
Brennan, who, according to the po

ed his wife, Marie Brennan, in the
latter's apartment, 327 Central Parl

years old and his wife, from whom
he had been separated for five years
was some years younger. There are
several grown children.
Brennan entered the apartment
house at 1:50 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon and told George Walker, ne
gro telephone and elevator operator
to announce him to Mrs. Brennan a:
"Dr. Alberton." Walker delivered
the message as ordered. Mrs. Bren'

DESTROY STALK EARLY
TO FIGHT BOIL WEEVlL

first frost. 1t is a we'll known fact
that the weevils developing late in
the fall are the ones most likely to
survive the winter, as they are not
worn out by long flights and the
re ar ing ofth eyou ngas aret he
rearing of the young as are the old
erer weevils. For this reason, devel-
opment of weevils in late fall must
be prevented as the first step in max
ling the next cotton crop.
Therefore, we should start now a
cleaning campaign such as South
Carolina has never before witnessed.
The boil weevil is pest with ter
rible amount of fight, and to meet
this situation our farmers must
develop the best fighting spirit of
which they are capable.
Early walk destruction and clean
farming with cover crops, constitute
the most powerful gun that can be
used against the pest at this time.
Whatever method of cleaning is EN-.
ployed, one thing is certain: The
weevil's winter hotels must be de-
stroyed. In the words Of General
Neville before Verdun, "They shall
not pass.".

loss of life is due to unprotected
vertical openings. / firmly believe
this is true. It is the vertical open
ing left unprotected that allows The
fire to be spread through the build
ing or the adjoining area. Lack OF
proper fire windows, shutters, water
curtains, open stairways and eleva-
tor shafts, lack of fire doors between
divisions or of main buildings. This
is what traps the workman at his
bench or the clerk making her, sales.
"The above coupled with improper
fire exit facilities, spells the death
sentence of thousands. 1t is trav-
esty on the present high standards Of
mental development to note the use
less sham involved in 80 per cent of
our present exit facilities. Fire es-
capes constructed against the sides
of buildings and passing ordinary
glass windows, eliminating their
utility after the first puff of flame
from the window below, spiral slides
erected inside of a steel enclosure,
frequently found locked with pad
lock at the exit door below, only
prepare a more horrible death by
roasting while deluding many with
surroundings of apparent safety. I
personally found three of these
traps locked with Yale padlocks,
whose keys were lost-even while
twenty-eight rooms of the school
they were supposed TO serve were in
session.
ut is the duty of every employer
to, help every member OF boards of
education and every home owner to
realize that he personally must as
sumo the liability provide 100
per cent safety to those for whom
he is responsible"

Clemson College, Oct. 4.-The
early fall destruction of cotton
stalks is the most important single
step in any fight against the cotton
boil weevil. So says Prof. A. F.
Conrad, entomologist, who adds
that it has been shown time and
again in practice and by experiments
that the most favorable conditions
for the boil weevil to pass the win
ter successfully are found in those
fields in which the cotton stalks, to-
gether with grass, weeds, fallen
leaves and other refuse are left un-
disturbed until nearly time to plant
the following season. On such fields
the greatest number Of weevils will
survive and every farmer should ask
himself the question: "Will T. permit
my farm to be a winter hotel for
the pest?"
In other words, will the farmer
choose to destroy the weeil this fall
or have the weevil destroy his cotton
next season? The earlier the stalks
are destroyed the fewer weevils will
survive the winter. In infested fields
it is common to find weevils at the
rate of FIVE thousand to twenty-five
thousand per acre at the time of
