COUNTY NORMAL NOTES

The members of the County Board,
the Training School Board, and tn
County officers were guests of the
Normal at the County Normal Play
last Thursday evening.
Now that practice fetching has be-
gun the press of work is such that
regular class work begins at $40 in
the morning. Our students appreciate
the great amount of work to be done
and are willing to begin work at that
hour.
Gladys Shreve was absent several
days last week on account of illness
Part of our general exercise period
each day is given to ealisthenic drills.
These drills are entered into in such
fine spirit by the students that they do
not become tiresome. A few minutes
devoted to vigorous exercise with open
windows is a great help in promoting
better mental work during the rest
of the day. 1t is hoped that our grad
yates viii carry this work into their
schools and that it will help in a small
way in developing more healthy and
vigorous American citizens of the flu
ture. The annual financial loss to the
nation each year due to preventable
sickness and death is, one of our great
test items on the loss side of the ledg-
err. Weshould use every means in
our power to prevent this great loss
Our school is putting into the hands
of our students in the methods class,
the textbooks which they are likely
to use in the rural schools. They thus
become familiar with those texts and
are laugh how to use them to the best
advantage. This is one Of the advan-
taees Of a uniform textbook system

THEY ALL ADVERTISE

A hen is not supposed to have
Much common sense or tact
Yet every time she lays an egg
She cackles forth the fact.
A rooster hasn't got a lot
OF intellect to show,
But none the less most ROSTERS have
Enough good sense to crow.
The mule, the most despised Of
beasts
Has a persistent way
or letting folks know he's around
BY his insistent bray. ,4
The busy little bees, they buzz
Bulls below and cows moo;
The watchdog barks. the ganders
squawk,
And doves and pigeons COO.
The peacock spreads his tail and
squawks,
Pigs squeal and robbins sing,
And even serpents know enough
To hiss before they sting.
But man, the greatest masterpiece
That nature could devise,
Will often stop and hesitate
Before he'll advertise.

FRENCH SENTENCE
- EMU. s. MINISTER

Chicago, May 25.-Sentence Of
twenty years in prison on a charge
of melting recent disturbances in
French mandate territory in Syria
has been melted out to Charles r.
Crane OF Chicago by a French mill
tary court in Damascus. according
to copyrighted dispatch from
Cairo, Egypt, published today in
the Chicago Daily News. The dis
patch is based on reports published
in Arabic newspapers received in
Cairo.
These reports, according to the
Daily News dispatch, say the mill
tary court passed the sentence .'af-
ter a hearing by default" (this is
in the absence of the accused)."
"a notice in the newspapers,
the dispatch continued, quoting
the Official communiQue adds that
the American Government has been
notified of the verdict.
While Air. Crane on the course
OF his travels avoids France and
the French possessions there is lit
tie possibility that the sentence will
be carried out
According TO the newspapers,
the court held that Mr.. Crane was
equally responsible with numerous
Syrians who are serving terms in
prison on account Of the outbreak.
Reports from Syria are that
political prisoner, are obliged TO
sleep on the iai! foCr and TO sub
sist on dry bread and olives.
Miss Nazid Aabod, Moslem
teacher invovled in the disturb
ances. was one OF the women Sc
lected by Mr.. Crane to receive edu-
cational benefits in the United
States. His check for 1000 to de-
fray her travelling expenses prompt
ed the charge tina, the American
Government was substituting the
Syrian malcontents.
She was arrested, deported from
Damascus and confined in a Jail
near Douma, but she recently made
her escape"
Mr.. Crane is a former American
Minister TO China and an authority
on Far Eastern affairs.

UNIVERSAL AMPLIFIER FOR
RADIO COMMUNICATION
IL NOW PERFECTED

Washington. May s4.-The Bu-
reau Of Engineering of the Navy
Department; has developed a univer-
sal amplifer for radio communion
tion. Secretary DENLY announced
today.
The amplifying qualities OF the
three-elecirode vacuum tube have
Wong e. been known and used, but
heretofore the amplifiers obtainable
= would oaly amplify incoming sig
. naAs over a narrow band of wave
lengths.
Ia the navy. as well as among
users OF radio equipment" Mr.. Den
by stated, lit is desirable 10 have
apparatus which will receive over
very wide range Of wave lengths
and the application should be as
strong in one region OF wave
lengths as in another IL IL is to be
universal or serve wide range OF
communication.
Some time ago the research or
ganiEstion OF the Navy was directed
TO give special consideration TO the
problem OF a universal amplifieT
with the result that DR. J. NJ. Mil
Ter OF the Nays Radio Research
Laboratory in Washington reeog-
mixed that the application OF certain
principles would solve the problem.
and his theory in this matter has
been verified by the construction OF
a SIX stage amplifer which gives
practically the same application
from a lower limit Of several hun
dred meters 10 an upper limit in the
neighborhood Of 10000 meters"

HEALTH SURVEY OF HARTFORD

The Physiology class composed
pf Freshmen, Of Hartford High
School, recently made a Sanitary
Survey OF the City OF Hartford.
Each memLey was assigned a sec
tion Of town for observation. A
map was made and the location of
al unhealthy material located
thereon. The map with a summary
was presented TO the Board OF
Health. II was found that in the
heart Of the business section OF the
town there are a number OF places
where such filth as affords breed
ing places for fiiss and dangerous
bacteria. exists. There are dump
heaps OF discarded rubbish within
the town limits. Two stagnsnt
ponds which furnish mosquitoes
for the town. Four pig pens. which
are not only against the laws OF
health but in violation OF a city
ordinance, are maintained. Two
public wells are so located as TO
be dangerous 10 all using the water
from them. Many alleys. vacant
lots and even aide walks are given
over TO weeds. All these conditions
could be remedied by very little
effort on the part Of the property
owners and at almost no cost.-H.
