ROBBED HAIR JOKED
 AT, CHOIR STRIKES
Evangelist Calls Them "Sissies" and Says Shorn Locks Are Not In
 Accordance With Bible.

Washington, Nov. 1S. --Bobbed hair members of the choir of Mount Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal church, south of here have gone on strike against the term "bobbed- hair sssies" applied to them by the Rev. Burke Culpeppor, a Memphis evangelist.
 After reciting a Bible story the Rev. MT. Culpepper turned to the choir, and telling of the foibles of the present day let loose the remark which nettled several of the singers. An indignation meeting was held and according to one source, at least half of the female portion of the choir have refused to continue their services.
 Meanwhile the Rev. Culpepper, sticking to his guns has opened a new fusillade on bobbed hair, quot ing scripture to bear out his con- tentton that 1t is not in accordance with the teachings of the Bible.

Los Angeles, Nov, 15.--Miss Nora sterry, principal of school in what yesterday was the quarantined pneumonia plague district of Los Angeles. yesterday was wearing gold medal, symbolic of the grati- tude of the residents of the dis trict. Miss Sterry. who had taught In the district for l2 years. went through the quarantine lines when they were established. to aid tho Mexican residents, who had conti- dence in her.
 When she entered the plague stricken district. she raised the American flag over the school house and made the school the cen- ter of new hope for the 1,500 Mex jeans who, shut off from the rest of the city, were panic stricken. She comforted them and convinced them that the plague would be con- quered. She. established kitchen in the school and prepared meals for those without food. Mexican musicians were recruited and each afternoon concert was given in the school yard.
 Miss Sterry, in departing yester- day from the district after the quar- antine had been lifted, was sur- rounded by grateful residents and girls bearing flowers. As the mu- sicians played, she was presented with the medal. paid for with pen nies collected in the neighborhood.

grades and what used to be the first year in high school. A junior high school graduate has but three years work in a senior high school, There are shops connected with these schools which provide a very special sort Of training. On Friday eve- nlng, November q, an opportunity to visit these shops will be offered.
 The laboratory plan of instruction has been introduced into the Senior high school. The highly satisfactory results obtained from this system in the cities where 1t has been tried have warranted its trial here. The chief difference between this system Of instruction and the old Is In the length Of assignments. The labora- tory plan lets a student know what is required of him for long period of time, an eighth of year perhaps, and enables students 10 do more in- dependent work and requires thor ough preparation.
 The old State Normal school build ing has been named the Walnut Hill school, and here classes for delicate, immigrant and atypical children are held. Domestic science is taught to the girls of the immigrant classes. and they prepare the lunch for the children of the open air classes. These children snend the time or. dnorily used in going to and from school in resting.
 The activities in every school are so varied that no one will find visit dull. Only by visiting can first hand information be obtained and it is hoped that visitors will go in large numbers to all the schools during American Education Week.

Ellsworth is the only city in Maine

tract system the profit of the con-
tractor depends upon how little he
can spend in caring for the poor
No matter how conscientious he may
be. nor how considerate of the poor,
this fact remains-what he makes
depends upon what he saves. If the
contract system is more economical
for the city, that fact in itself is an
indictment of the system. Is there
any right-minded man or woman in
Ellsworth who would advocate the
saving of a few dollars at the ex-
pense of the city's unfortunates?

ed surplus from the farm as a part

say this not as criticism of the
present superintendent but in criti-
cism of the system Mr.. Carlisle

CITY APPROPRIATIONS.
Slightly Lower Tax Rate Indicated
List of Salaries.

The city government last evening
finally passed the budget of ap~
propriations for the year. The total,
.$1O6,776, is little more than $4,000
less than last year, and with a lower
State tax this year, indicates that the
tax rate may be slightly less than
last year-perhaps two or three
mills. This is better than the board
at first glance, hoped for.
Last year, it will be remembered,
$4,000 was added to the budget
after the destructive flood made it
necessary, so that the appropria-
lions this year are still above the
normal of recent years. This is more
than accounted for by provision for
paying $4,000 of city bonds, $4,000
for deferred payment on the fire
truck, and $4,000 allowed for adj
ditional cost of Main street bridge
above the first estimate. At the same
time the appropriations for the
school department have been in
creased over $4,000
Following is the list of appropri-
atoms, with the appropriations Of
last year for comparison:

Observation-Disclosures Highway.

We publish this week on page 8
two more communications on the
Ellsworth Hancock highway, both
from residents of Hancock and OPP
posing the proposed new route L.
L. Brown of Marlboro approaches
the matter from a new and broader
standpoint, warning against the drift
of State and nation toward wasteful
expenditures, all of which must be
met, eventually by the citizens, al
ready struggling under a heavy tax
burden.
In the case in immediate issue,
however, there has been a decided
change in the situation in the past
few days, with a corresponding swing
of pubic sentiment toward the new
route. When it was simply
question of which route-Washing
ton Junction or the new road-Ells-
worth was with those residents of
Hancock who favored the former
route. Now we learn, on reliable
authority, that the road will be built
over the proposed new route, or else
the money, already provided for,
will be expended elsewhere in the
State, and the expenditure for State
and federal-aid road in this section
postponed indefinitely.
Thus the issue becomes no road or
new road, and on this proposition
| Ellsworth favors the new road. We
understand that sentiment in the
town of Hancock has also swung
| overwhelmingly toward the new
route. Contributing toward this
may be the fact that, if an overhead
| crossing is built at Washington
Junction, 10 per cent. of the esti-
mated cost of $4,000, or approx
mately $4,000, would have to be
| per cent. by the railroad company
which might be expected to make
strenuous objection and delay the
work, and 25 per cent. by the State.
The federal government would not
share any part of this expense.
The matter may be decided at the
meeting of the highway commission
in Augusta to-day. AT the same
time, bids for the steel work on the
Sullivan-Hancock bridge will be
opened,
Ellsworth, with the above under
standing of the matter, went on
record officially as favoring the new
route, by vote of the city govern
ment last evening, and the State
highway commission was so notified
by wire.
