s3OO,OOO TOTAL FOR 25 STATES
 AT END OF SECOND WEEK.

Reports from twenty-four states and the District of Columbia indicate that in these divisions alone more than $300,000 was contributed to the Woodrow Wilson Foundation during the first two weeks of the campaign. The remaining states. while unable to estimate the amounts raised because of the incomplete returns from the districts.
 At the time of going to press. no state had completed it's quota, al though several were nearing the goal
 Oklahoma telegraphed that they were planning to close the campaign on Saturday. February 4th, and were oendIng every effort to complete the
 Minnesataq North Carolina and Tennessee also are each making a de terunined effort to be the first state to finish.
 The District of Columbia, which made the wonderful record of raising SZO,0OO in two weeks, was unfortu- nate9y halted by the theatre disaster which resulted in the suspension of all activities of a. social character.
 In the actual amount of money sub scrfbed, New York state is in the lead. Massachusetts and Kentucky come net, each with about $25, ,0OO to their credit. In North Carolina, Mrs. Jo- sephus Daniels reports S21,5O0 has been raised.
 An eampIe of the enthusiasm with which the work is being carried on by state chairnen is that reflected by a telegram to Hamilton Holt, the execu- tive director, from c. S. Jackson. chairman for Oregon The message said:
 'fWi1 stay in the fight till we win if it takes all year,
 From the Utah chairman, James H. Moyle, comes the following telegraph: 'tDevoting practically all my time to the work"
 And from Minnesota comes the word: Scattering reports indicate Minnesota already has s16.00O. Have instructed all chairTnen to continue e canvas until quota reached

SCHOOL BOARD PROPOSES
 TO BUY FACTORY BUILDING

 Assistant Superintendent E. Ever itt Cortright reported the death of Miss Noche, @ teacher at the Whittier school. Supt. Slawson was granted permission to attend the convention of school superinltendents scheduled to be held in Chicago from Feb. 24 to March 8.

This land will be used for playground purposes. A monthly report of the expenses and receipts of the high school lunch room will be submitted hereafter by Prin- cipa1 Moore.
 Smallpox and influenza are believed to be responsible for the fact that school registration at the present time is no greater than last year. The nor nal increase of approximately 400 has failed to materialize as yet. A bill of $500 for athletic work, pre- scented by Fred T. Hunt, was not fav- orably received by the board, mem bers of which asked for particulars regarded this expense. The bill was explained by SuDt. Slawson. The board then went into executive session

GOLD
 BY THE YOUTHFUL

1 was greatly impressed some time ago by a patient who came to me possessing TEN GOLD CROWNS in her mouth - all located where they were plainly visible every time the owner either smiled or talked.
 But what doubly surprised me was the patient was a very good looking young lady, who I should imagine, was just turning twenty. She was very nicely dressed seemed to bear out a very refined air yet - she had permitted some den- tist to carry out his whim for gold suaded her that TEN GOLD CROWNS would greatly add to her beauty and charms. Literally-she possessed gold by the rnouthful And it destroyed seemed to own. The gold crown cheapened her appearance and inn pressed me as quite tawdry and loud. Then she told me the story of how the gold crowns came about. She had been to a dentist who had prevailed upon her that gold crowns, by the mouthfu1, were necessity to good looks and healthy teeth. Her friends had smiled and winked their eyes at each other when they saw the crowns - her parents were greatly disappointed - and she, well, the young lady was just heart-broken and had come to me for advice.
 Of course I told her where the whole trouble was and suggested quantity of gold crowns. which were greatly too many in number, and with a new set of natural teeth her friends and parents would no longer ridicule her appearance.
 She condescended, agreeing with me that such a step was quite right.
 In very short time she was enjoying new set of natural--appear- ing teeth. The ridicule ceased - inn mediately - friends told her how well she looked and 1t all made her very happy.
 Since her last visit this young lady, because she was so highly elated over our work - has sent three of her friends to us that they, too, could enjoy the benefits of our good dental service. Today, her face is radiating happiness and content. We have re- dignity-and have made her one of the most satisfied patients one could hope to possess. And her friends too. have gone away high in their praises for us.
 In short-we can please every one-and we want to try to please you. We don't hurt a single bit when we fix up your teeth and you'I1 find the costs lower than you ex- pected. Come up any time-because-. We've extracted over 100, 900 teeth In Bridgeport!

 According to her interviewer. Miss Normand visibly shows the strain she has been under for the past two weeks and is considering a trip to a drier climate in an effort to shake off a heavy cough that has developed in connection with her illness.
 Miss Normand, according to the interview, denied that she had any jealous admirers
 For myself" she is quoted as say ing. T had no one who possibly could have been interested enough in me to do such a thing. I had no jealous lovers. My acquaintance among the men and women of Los Angeles was large but I had never encouraged any one to believe that he was first in my heart, and I had only good friends, but no one who could possi- bQy construe my great and beautiful friendship for MT. Taylor as any thing but a beneficial interest in my life"
 They are all of such non-sensfcal nature they have absolutely no value except as they exhibit and indicate the good fellowship which existed between 'Why I shouldn't have dreamed of writing anything to him except in a Hght-hearted nature. Our whole friendship was founded on that line. He was a wonderful man and a gener- our man and many of my notes to him were requests for small contributions for my pet charities. I always gave small checks to the little sisters of the poor, and I frequently asked him to make similar donation
 ''He used to urge me to be less extravagant and I wanted to jolly him about his wisdom and at the time make my own purpose clear to him. I could never refuse any one in distress, I loved to help about me those who were in hard luck, and one of the greatest pleasures that my success has brought me was that it enabled me to give freely to those who needed money. The only value could see in a large salary was to be able to help those less fortunate than T."

SWEDEN IN
 TROUBLE OVER EMMA GOLDMAN

Stockholm, Feb. 14.--Sweden is fac ing a. curious dilemma as the result of her weIl-neant hospitality in granting temporary asylum to Emma Goldman, Shapiro, formerly deported to Russia from the United States. Since this trio arrived, several other Russian an- archists have come into the country.
 As matters staud at present Sweden may either have to deport the anar- chists Or cope with a. movement, said to be on foot, of making Stockholm an international anarchist central.
 But to what country can these an- archists be depQEted? Nobody wants them. Since their arrival in Stock holm, Emma Goldman and other an archists from Russia have so I1oundly if they are returned thither, the Bo1- shevik thorities, never noted for their 1eniencys may send them all to jail or deaI with them in a more sum- mary fashion.
 Germany has already put up the bars against these agitatOrs as was shown recently when Miss Goldman tried to enter Germany for the pur- pose of attending the international anarchist congress in Berlin. Freund A!strias representative to this coun- try, was arrested on the border by the German police.
 Now the Stockholm press states that a resolution was adopted at the Berlin anarchist congress to estab- fish an international anarchist bureau in the Swedish capital, presumably because Stockholm is now the tenn porary abiding place of SO many lead ing anarchist lights. The press em- phasizes that it would be most unfor- tunate if Sweden's hospitality should be abused by thus making Stockholm an anarchist central and the same papers assert that energetic steps will be taken against any attempts of this character

S325,OOO BOND
 ISSUE WANTED FOR NEW SCHOOL.

The Board of Education raised a committee of five, headed by President William R. Webster last nlShI, 10 meet Mayor Atwater, the president of the Board of Aldermen and the memb CTS of the finance committee Of the Common Council, to ask for an issue of S325,0 900 in bonds for the con structfon of additional High school fa- cilities.
 The board plans to acquire the Star Shirt factory, on Golden Hill, adJa- cent to the High school, which will be rem odelled for school purposes. ana used for a commercial and technical High school.
 Architect Fred Cooper has sub ted plans which show that the plant will be divided into 36 class rooms, besides a large assembly hall, shops for manual and industrial training, and a large storehouse, where school supplies can be centralized.
 The school will take care or 1,z0U pupils on a one school day plan, and on a two-schoo1-a-day plan, twice that number.
 The building is of slow. burning constru ction, is, unlike the High school, equipped with sDrinkling sys- tems, and has a fine lighting and power plant
 It can be made ready for occu- pancy in time to be opened for the September term, and will almost inn mediately relieve the pressure on the High school.
 The top floor will be used for the executive offices of the Board of Education. now in the First National Bank building. The saving in rent, some s4,400 @ year, will pay the in- terest on a considerable portion of the bonds.
 The cost of the school created in this way will be taking everything into consideration, at least $200,00O less than the cost of a new school of similar capacity and equipment, in the opinion of MT. Cooper, the architect.
