fifteen stitches were required to
close a gaping wound in her fore.
head.
She was such a mite of a child
she could not look over the front
of the witness box. so Judge Miller
placed her in front Of the bench.
She qualified readily to testify in
that she satisfied court and coun-
sci that she knew the nature of
an oath. Helen was bright, though
she was petite. Telling how she

CONTROL FUNDS
F0RPUBL|C
SCHOOLS
District Commissioners, Steph-
ems Finds, Get Power Under
Law Passed in 1900.

Expenditures made by the Board
of Education for school purposes are
subject to the direction and control
of the District Commissioners, &C
cording to a decision by Corpora
ton Counsel Francis H. Stephens. In
his report Corporation Counsel
Stephens said that the Court of APP
peals, while it has acted on many
questions concerning the school
board, has not yet decided as to who
has the authority to control expendi-
lures for public educational insti-
tutions in the District.
Some time ago the school board
contended that 1t had the fullest
authority over the spending of the
money in it's budget and the Com
missioners contested the right claim
ed. The question arose when the
school board asked for $3.50 for
cosmetics to be used at the o street
vocational school for colored pupils.
The Commissioners promptly
erased the amount from the estimate
submitted by the board. The dispute
that followed resulted in submitting
the matter to Stephens for an opin-
ion. Teachers at the school believed
thar some of the pupils would enter
into the beauty parlor business,
hence it's request.
In an act passed in 1900 the full
est authority over expenditures Of
school funds was placed in the hands
of the District Commissioners.
Mr.. Stephens pointed out that the
board is not under bond, while the
Commissioners themselves are under
bond and the tax collector is under
500 900 bond. In view of this fact,
Stephens said, he saw no reason why
the school board should have a free
rein in the matter Of expenditures.

X-RAYS USED To
TEST SWISS
CHEESE
Profound Research Reveals
How to Tell When Holes
Are Big Enough.
By JOHN L. SPIVAK,

NEW YORK, March 9.-Science
has added another laurel wreath to
itself for great accomplishments in
the service of humanity.
1t has finally solved the disturb,
ing question of how to tell when the
holes in a chunk of newly made
Swiss cheese are sufficiently big to
put 1t on the market.
The manufacturing of Swiss cheese
"a young but rapidly growing
American industry-has been fraught
with many serious and perplexins
problems. Cheese experts found ii
difficult4o tell when the cheese was
done, when the holes were big
enough, and so forth.
But science, being now no longer
a subject with which alchemists and
other learned ones trifle, but a
serious assistant in the fields of in
dustry, was called in to advise sug.
gest and air the whole matter of
holes in Swiss cheese.
Said the learned men of science:
why, of a surety you can tell
when the holes are big enough. Just
place your chunk of cheese under
the x,ray.
The photograph will tell whether
1t is done and whether the holes are
big enough
You can thus save cutting the
cheese open and wasting, in the long
rum thousands of dollars that could
be used to buy more material for
more holes in cheese"
The manufacturers tried It.
ana sure huff the X-ray detected
the holes in the Swiss cheese. and
the manufacturers were able to de.
termlne whether it was safe to nut
1t on the market HA'
AND the perplexing problem was
