No Un-American
Teachers i'm Maine
Declares DR.. Thomas

A letter from Miss Bessie Locke or
the University of Iowa asking If
Maine during or since the World
War has had trouble with un-Ameri-
can teachers, has recently been re-
ceived by DIR. A. o. Thomas, State
commissioner of education. Miss
Locke, who was formerly at the head
Of the American Kindergarten So
ciety, asked If there had been any
teachers in Maine who had made re-
marks which called for investiga-
ton, stating that considerable
trouble of this sort had been found
in some other places.
In reply, DIR. Thomas wrote that
we have had no trouble of this sort
either during or after the war, that
only one case occurred in the State
where a teacher was charged with
disloyalty and although she was re-
lieved of her position at the time,s
she was later indicated by the court.
DR.. Thomas asserted that the people
OF Maine are strong in their Ameri-
canism and have always been I'M
usually patriotic to American institu-
tions.
He pointed out that we are proud
of our teachers who believe in our
country, who have faith in 1t and be-
lieve it is the best country in the
world. They teach the Constitution
and have the children commit to
memory the Declaration of Indepen-
dance. They teach the lesson of the
flag and sing the patriotic songs.
They teach respect for the law and
the necessity for organized govern
ment and obedience thereto.

changes, alterations. paving, resur-
facing and reconstruction: 2, the re-
quirement that the company shall
bear the expense of paving or resur-

the, expense of resurfacing the track

In its specifications for appeal, the
appellant alleges:

Utilities Commission, dated July IL,

which the town of Brunswick has
neglected to comply.
2. The requirement that the COM
pany shall bear the entire expense

of is unjust and unreasonable.

expense attempted to be made by
the municipal officers places upon the
appellant burden greater than the
use of the street justifies.
4. That the character and kind
of the paving and resurfacing and
resurfacing ordered is unreasonably
expensive and unnecessary. .

Of Lower House

Washington, Dec. 1.-Reappor-

tatives on the basis of the 1920 GEN.
sus without change in the present
number of 493 is proposed in bill
to be presented by Representative
Fairfield, Republican, Indiana, who
is senior member Of the census
committee.
Eight state delegations would be
increased while eleven would suffer
losses under the re-apportionment,
which would be fixed on ratios fig
ured by the Census Bureau. Cali
fornia would gain three members,
Michigan and Ohio would gain )
each and Connecticut, New Jersey.
North Carolina, Texas and Washing
ton one each.
Missouri would lose two members
and a loss of one each would be
suffered by Indiana. Iowa, Kansas,

This proposal was passed by the
House two years ago and NOT acted

turned to committee last year a bill
providing for $50 members and it
was not acted upon.

was lodging a duty implied BY. the

Ford to Manufacture
CASTINGS frOm,Refuse

Detroit, Dec. Henry Ford has
begun the manufacture of cylinder
castings from dust. He has laid a
black cloth, as it were, on the $4,000
ton mountain of dust whose peak at
the Rouge has been rising higher and
higher as for years the pile has been
fed by the Ford blast furnaces, and
he is now waving the wand.
When the cloth is removed the dust
will be gone and in its stead will be
100000 cylinder castings. 1t will take
a year and half to use up the
mountain.
The Ford company announces to-
day it has begun the reclamation.
1t isn't dust In the ordinary accepted
term. 1t is blast furnace dust, a fine,
sand-like substance which is blown
from the furnace in the blast and
is utterly worthless in that state. 1t
Is valuable. because SO percent of it
is iron ore, the other SO percent is
coke dust.
1t is estimated that of the $4,000
tons in the dust mountain at River
Rouge, $4,000 tons is iron ore in dust
form. The Ford model T cylinder
casting weighs 50 pounds when fin
ished. Consequently, reclamation of
the $4,000 tons of iron ore means suf-
ficient ore for more than 100000 cast
ingS.
