Berlin, Nov. 8.
Ty HE inhabitants of the devas-
tated area in France are weary
of being used as living argu-
ments OF the horrors Of war. What
they want is to have their houses,
their factories and their barns rebuilt.
They hope to have their fields leveled
and roads remade. They want to re-
turn to work and TO forget the war.
They have. therefore, turned to Herr
Hugo SHINES as the most powerful
manufacturer in Germany with the
request that he take up reconstruc-
ton in France. Wonderful to relate
Herr SHINES undertakes the work.
Radical workers have regarded
SHINES for years as capitalist Belize
bub the kind of person whom one can
accuse of every possible villainy with
out fear of doing him an injustice.
Agitators, when this agreement with
the French was reached, again crept
back TO their mud and looked at the
matter with the perspective of frog.
They accused Herr SHINES of making
this agreement with the Marquis de
Lubersac simply to satisfy his insau-
ate, capitalistic greed of profits.
There are others, of course. who are
not carried away by cheap rhetoric.
and who, whatever they may think of
the details of the Stinnes-Lubersac
agreement, see in it the beginning Of
a notable undertaking for peace.

personal service class. In 1920 that
percentage had gone down to $3.50.

 All Sold Out

The Commencement issue of the high schools official organ, the "Cri- terion'' made it's appearance this week and every copy was taken almost i'm mediately. The high school students published a beautiful book this year, bound in either leather or cardboard The hearty manner in which the issue was subscribed to attests to the pOpu- larity of the publication. The sale this year exceeded that of any time past. 1900 copies being distributed among students, their friends and relatives.
 The school ppaer has always been a losing proposition, but the success of the sale of the commencement is sue will wipe out any outstanding de felt. The seniors themselves helped keep down expenses of publication by purchasing their own cuts from which pictures were reproduced. The class contributed $500 toward the publish ing of the final issue.
 Popular Magazine.
 Since its incipiency many years ago the Criterion" has been the official high school paper. In putting out a 150 page magazine p1entifu1ly illus trated, the board of editors gives each graduate a memento which will last many years, and will always serve as a reminder of high school days. The students lose no time, upon receiving the book, in getting their friends and teachers to autograph it.
 The commencement issue of the "Criterion' is published in the form of a history of the four years activ- ities of the Senior class, and when attractive1y bound in green leather, it makes a lasting rnemento, and a treasured one.

Accomplished Student Receives Highest High
 School Honors.

Miss Irene Conner, daughter of MT. and Mrs. George F. Conner, of 232 Wells street, is the recipient of the Highest honor that it is within the power of high school authorities to bestow upon a student. Maintaining an average scholastic grade well above 90 in every study covering a period of four years, Miss Conner has been named valedictorian of the class of 1922.
 that Miss Corners record during her career at the Hilltop school is little short of remarkable. Her marks during her first three years of study were exceptionally high, but they reached the pinnacle of perfection when she received a 100 per cent rating in three subjects, a scholastic feat incredible as it is -unheard of.
 Accomplishments Numerous.
 Nor is Miss Conner content to rest
 In addition to being an accomplish ed singer, she created a decided hit as Cora in the senior class presen- tation of 'fClarence." her portrayal of an exec edingly difficult character was superb. Her work in the play stood average amateur.
 Irene plans to adopt interpretive dancing as vocation One of Miss Benita V. Slocum's most successful pu- tion, to become an instructress of classic dancing.
 The valedictorian creates marvel ous little pen and ink, and pencil sketches in her spare time, she con- tributed poems and other literary work of high merit regularly to the Criterion" tEe official school pubH cation.
 These are a few of the accomplisr- ments which are Miss Corners. Mind

John Howard Speer, son of MT. and Mrs. Howard Speer of 12S Wells street received second honors for highest scholastic standing in the Bridgeport High school, and has been named SalutatortIan of the graduating class. But a few tenths of a point separate MT. Speer from first honors.
 MT. Speer will deliver the Saluta- tory address from the rostrum of the hlgh school auditorium on Com- nencement night.
 The Salutatorian is popular like with the teachers and pupils in ad- dltiCna1 to being an exceptionally apt student he Is a tennis player of no mean ability. He has been a mem her of the tennis team during his senior year.
 He has been the nnainstay of the debating team throughout the year A speaker of marked ability his ora torGcal star was in the ascendant during the twin debate against the Now Haven High school. John's work as an extemproaneous speaker was Iauded before the entire student body by Dr. William Horace Day, himself an excellent orator. Speer was president of the Debating club during his senior year.
 It is a peculiar fact that both Miss Irene Conner, the VaIedictorian, and MT Speer reside within a block of each other, and that both were grad uated from Shelton school.

The pur- pose of the fund is to enable students who aIe not well situated financially to receive material aid in obtaining a college education. A fund amount ing to $10,000 will be raised each sue ceeding class contributing until the required sum is reached.
 Seniors Enjoy Banquet.

 And now the four years of work, study and play are nearly over. Some will enter college in the fall. many will find permanent places in the business world, others will seek ca reerS as teachers. and others will take their places as dignifed seniors. The race is nearly run, nothing re- mains but to receive the final 'ipat on the back" and the diploma signi- flying to the graduate that he is equipped to wage a victorious battle against the worlds pitfalls. and to wiring from it his ultimate reward.

 Icebergs Were Encountered

f1IIed with an adventurous spirit of the sort that sends men from their homes to perform greater tasks in the commercial and scientific world, than their previous experiences had produced. and realizing that an op- portunity awaited him. one not to be slfghted or passed by unnoticed, Paul Morales, former Bridgeport High School boy, and son of John Morales, of 22 Ash street, is making 8 name for himself as a radior oper- ator in the service of the United States Merchant marine.
 Young Morales was graduated from the local grammar schools in 1917, and two and a half years later he entered the Radio Institute of Amer ica, former the Marconi Institute, in New York. So jealous and ear nest as he was, to become an expert
