"BLUEBEARDv GETS BACK
 C0MP0SURE

Paris, Nov 14-Henri Landru, al- legged ''Bluebeard," had regained his composure today as his trial on charges of murdering ten women and a boy, was continued in the Court of ASsizes.
 The prosecution questioned Landru regarding Mime. ColIomb, a steno- grapher. Eleven witnesses testified to Landru, intimate acquaintances with the woman, although the defendant said he had told Mime. Co1lomIb he was manufacturer and vigorously denied he had ever written her love letters. He said he had discussed going into the furniture selling bus ines with her.
 How do you think I could have gained the love of this woman. when already she was in love with a much handsomer man than me?" he asked.
 Replying to a question from the presiding judge as to how it had hap pened that the defendant deposited a thousand dollars in the bank the same day Mime. Collonrb disappeared, Dnrdu said:
 That was only coincidence What would you have said if I had deposited that money on the day be- fore or the day after this woman diSa ppeared ?''

Powerful Peat Excavator

new machine built the endless track principle, designed especially for the purpose of excavating peat, conveys some idea of the proportions to which this industry has grown.
 The excavator proper consists of a worm conveyor having cutting edges on the outbound end. This unit ligs to maximum depth of seven feet. con- veying the mass to a macerator, where it is ground and churned to paste. The operation is continuous. the taste next being discharged upon the srouad and spread in a uniform layer about IS feet wide and 4 inches thick. " spreader (which also cuts it into narrow ribbons Another machine then cuts these into easily hapdled briquestes, says an article in Popular Mechanics Magazine. After a preliminary drying, the briouettes are arranged in wind rows that the drying process may be completed. The excavator is powered by a gasoline engine and is comple- ,ly self-contained and self-moving. The extreme width of the tread enables rhe heavy machine to travel easily over tie soft rarshy ground where it would be impossible to move wheeled vehi- c1e.

BALTIMORE LEADS
 IN TEACHER WAGE
Louisville and Paterson, N. J., Make CreditabIe Showing In
 Average-PhiIadeIphia Low
By Associated Press

Chicago, January yir-With an increase of $500 per year to the average teacher Baltimore Is shown to lead the list of American cities in amount of salary ad-- vances to be granted to public school workers during the past year, accord ing to survey of the national educa- ton situation just completed by the better schools service, bureau of the American Federation of Teachers.
 This bureau has been compiling statis- tics and reports here since the teacher shortage became acute. Philadelphia is shown to bring up the rear of all cities, it's increase being only from $50 to S120 per year. T'he average increase for cities of more than 100000 population is listed at sS65 per year, for cities of between 5o.O00 and 10000 $3S2, in cities of 2aooO to 5000 s371
 Reports from all over the country show that the general advance in sal aries still leaves teachers more made quately paid than previous to 1914, said William T. Mccoy. director of the sur vey in making the first findings public. Teachers are still at the bottom of skilled workers in the wage scale, he added. "The measures of relief have been palliative only. They may nave checked monentarily the disintegration in the public school system of this country, but they have not arrested it.
  Fundamental changes in the policy, of fi- nancing education before schools are safe from current deterioration. Normal school enrolment over the nation is the barometer of the educational system. This barometer is now very low. Even the Baltimore increase is reported by Maryland educators to have been in- adequate.
 Among the larger American cities Louisville and Paterson tN. J.) rank next to Baltimore, with $500 each as the aver age annual increase. Chicago Toledo. San Francisco and Kansas City take next place with s450 each. St. Louis, Oakland, Tacoma gave $40 piece wish Spokane close behind with si00. Boston, Los Angeles and Houston awarded raise of $300. with Atlanta and Minne apolis $30o each. Indianapolis, Cleveland and Des Moines gave $200.
 Of cities between 5000 and 10000 Terre Haute, Ind, leads with an average teach CT advance of $450 Portland. Me, gave $400 and Gary, Ind, $36o. In the third group cities between 25,00o and 50,00o, Montclair. N. J., tops the list with $500. Newton Mass being next with $45O.

TAFT DECLARES
 DISARMAMENT IS VITAL ID PEACE
Former President Also Insists That America and England Always Will Agree Upon
 Policies of Influence
By Associated Press

Hamilton, Bermuda, Jan. 0.-Former President William H. Taft, who is spend- ing a month here, said in a recent in- terview that "the enormous burden Of Hebt of every country makes it almost Indispensable that the necessity for arma- ment be removed. You can only do that by joint action and joint agreements and by promises of settling all differences without fighting
 They are already discussing seriously in the United States an agreement for disarmament or the limiting of arma- ment and strangely enough this comes in part at least, from men who have been vigorously opposed to any league at all, , he continued. 'I am very hopeful that nnder MT. Harding we shall reach eonclusion with other leading nations for sRn association or league which shall mark the advance brought by the war toward reasonable machinery for the avoidance of future conflicts This will involve the sitting around the council htable of all important nations and VIII tmply the taking of joint measures to seonnpoee differences and to restrain syesort to tho unsatisfactory and bloody serbitrament of war.
 Lately have often been questioned AAs to the attitude of the United states Howard Great Britian. Of course the kUnited States consists of some llo,VV, 600 people with many ulIIerenl Cuiic ciie' ypf thought permeating the mass. Many sdifferent groupings too will be found ana there are some of these groups more t%ocaI than representative of real punhc ftoinion who manifest bitter feeling against Britain But when an important question arises, when a real issue comes before us, then the sober public opinion Lpf the United States asserts itself.
 'I never have had the slightest con trern over the relations of the two coun- tries. We form the strongest union TOT peace between nations that exists in the world today. We have got into the hapit of settling all our differences by means of negotiation and arbitration. The great body of the people in the United States cannot conceive of war between tne two countries because they are connoen. that any matters in dispute can and VII be settled either by negotiation or py the judgment of court as with people in any domestic Jurisdiction where law and order prevail"
 Speaking of business conditions In tne United States, he said they were not alarming :'We are a very resi,iens people and can fight our way out, ne said. Congress is attempting to help in the matter of credits

A Millionaire Hobo

Albert Sidney Gregg. In Leslies.
 T.Rightly rated as a man or miiiions' James Eads How of St Louis has deiio- erately chosen tho life of travelins dishwasher, waiter, scrubman, pola'o peeler-and friend of hoboes.
 How Is a most interesting study 10 anyone who is willing to take him seriously, He cannot be explained. He is baffline to his most intimate asso- ciates. When I asked him why he hao abandoned his wealth and chosen to ride in box cars and live in cheap ho. tels. he replied somewhat tersely:
 Read the Sermon on the Mount Maybe you'll find the explanation there.' < How Is connected with powerful family in and near St. Louis. He is 9 grandson of Capt. James Eads, railroad builder and international promoter who first proposed the Nicarauga canal and later made place for himself in his tory by building the Eads bridge over the Mississippi river at St. Louis. No- body seems to know the actual value of his estate but it runs into many millions. How has had all the educa- tional advantages of wealth.
 For 20 years How has travelled the United States as common hobo in order that he may better understand nODOeS. AS d result Ol HIS tidFOio oiAA observations, he has founded and ti- nanced the International Brotherhood Welfare association. This brotherhood builds and looks after halls or stations for hoboes, tramps and bups in Cincin- natl, St Louis, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, Chicago. Kansas City. Oklahoma City. Memphis. Louisville, Boston. London, Dublin. Stockholm and Tokio. The in- come from Hows estate is administs ed by a welfare association committee of five hoboes. His will stipulates that his estate shall be administered by the holding committee just as it has been since the committee was created.
 In crossing the Atlantic, which he has done dozens of times, How works his passage as mule tender or as a kitchen worker. On one occasion Lis fhother was a fellow passenger. but she enjoyed a first-class suite de luxe, while James E. played second fidile to the cook.
 On another occasion How wired for MT. Klein. his attorney to meet aim in New York. Klein responded as quickly az possible, and registered at the Mc- Alpin. and took taxi to the Mills, where How was stopping at 20 cents night. When Klein remonstrated and urged How to live on higher scale. hs responded:
 It is perfectly all right for you to live that way, but not for me-"

selves is so different from that upon which we have counted
 Perhaps the most unexpected truth brought home to us by dolls of all ages is that they are b v no means the mo- nopoly of the child There are children S dolls and there are> Olympian's dolls and there are very many more of the latter than of the former. The childs doll may be piece of stick wrapped in a duster. but endowed with soul, which in later years cannot be recaptured. It may be melancholy wreck. vivified by tender. ness into all that is bright and beautiful, and, above all. indispensable. You sim ply cannot classify the true childs doll. because most of it is imagination and SO you never know what form it will take.
