TEACHERS sui.
F0RPR0M0T|ON
Ask court, TO Restrain New
Test Until Old Eligible List
49,. Is Exhausted.

Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
of public schools. was today named
defendant in; snit"f filed in the Dis
trict Supreme Court by William j.
Wallis, Elizabeth Birtwell and Janet
Ditto, high school teachers, to re-
strain him from holding an examina-
tion for elfgibles for promotion from
group A. class 6; to grouprB, class 6.
and also to prevent him from issuing
ratings to the teachers who took the
examination of September 80 last.
The court is also asked to enjoin
sSuperintendent Ballou from recon,
mendingN for promotion any Of the
successful candidates ofthe examiDa'
ton.
The petitioners, represented by At
torney NJ. M Doyle, declare that they
did not take the examination, and
that under an order of the Board OF
Education they were merged with
those who contested at that examina'
ton. They claim that IL these be
promoted before the petitioners. the
latter will be irreparably injured in
their lifework. II Is pointed out that
the new examination for eligibles is
entirely different from the one they
had to take in 1919. When they
stood for promotion they were ad
vised, they say, that no further ex
smfriations would be held until al
the successful candidates of the 1915
test had been promoted.
The petitioners claim they have
not been promoted. -

Chicago 'SpooR More
4 Dangerous Than
Usual Ghost

CHICAGO, Oct. Sit has
fallen to the lot of two cleo
trical inspectors to solve the
mystery Of the Clifton avenue
ghost" which has terrorized a
part of Chicago's population
for five nights. The ghostly
rumblings and squeals first
were heard Saturday night and
every night since then wagon
loads of police and hundreds
Of residents of the neighbor-
hood have been endeavoring to
locate the spook.
Today two investigators for
the Commonwealth Edison Com
pany discovered that water is
to blame for the rumblings.
The two technical sleuths an
nounced that the noises were
caused by the making and
breaking of the electrical cur
rent by water in an electric
conduit.
The announcement divulged
the fact that the so-called
"spook" was in fact more dan
gerous than any one in the
neighborhood had imagined.
The investigators announced
that unless such a situation
was corrected the cable carry
ing the current will snap and
fire will result.

The value of auto.suggestion can
very readily be applied to golf, ac
cording to the authorities on the
subject. There is no reason Why's
the golfer shouldn't gather himself
together and win by the sheefE

big part of the game. and thFr
player who starts with the feeling
that he is going to win has a My1
