lowing up the f1imsiest of clues led to
the recapture Of George Person one Of
the two prisoners who escaped from

two weeks ago. Pierson was taken into
custody at Brunswick Thursday morn
ing as the result of some clever work
on the part Of Marshal Skehan which
included the spreading Of a net into
which the wanted jail-breaker walked
as prettily as could be wished. The
other prisoner was captured near Bel
fast within few days of the break.
Pierson was bound-over prisoner
awaiting trial ON a charge of breaking,

Madrid Poor Employ Ruse

Madrid, Aug. 2 "a. P.)--Six labor.

overcome the lack Of housing accom-

at 500 pesetas monthly. The houce
owner was glad to find q tenant and
at once drafted the contract, which
both parties signed.
The next day. to the horror Of the

with dilapidated furniture drew up

made UP in part for the somewhat
weird boobies.

Alterations and improvements at
Cony High school, which have en-
larged the possible seating capacity
and have made possible the more ef-
f1cient use of the facilities OF the
building have been nearly completed
and when the students enter school
on September they viii find a much
more attractive building awaiting
them.
The outstanding feature among the
many changes Is the removal of the
library and principals Office from the
old school building TO the rev wing.
This has placed the principals ONCE
in the very heart of the school build
ing and where il is much more easily
reached by the students and teachers
alike.
The library occupies the northwest
corner of the main floor in the new
wing and is next to the principals
Office. Both Of these rooms are con-
siderably larger than were the old
ones and they offer a much better
opportunity for the school work. Be-
cause Of this change in the loca ton
in the Office the main entrance will
be at the Cony street door instead of
the one fronting on Stone street. This
will be much more convenient to Wis
itors especially Id rainy weather as
its is possible TO drive right up to
this entrance.
The room formerly used as the
principals Office is TO be used as a
rest room Cor the women teachers
and the old library will be a recita-
tion rom seating "a pupils. One OF
the features of this change is that It
does away with a large amount of
traffic which necessarily had to pass
through the large home room known
as room 81" to reach the Office In its
old location. This in itself Is a big
change, for the constant passing in
the ROOM caused the students to
neglect their studies.
Lunch Room to Seat 90
In the basement several important
changes are to be noted. The biggest
of these and one which will have
much to do with the comfort of
the pupils is the change in the lunch
room. The room which was used as a
kitchen and lunch room combined
has been renovated thoroughly and
will be used simply as a dining room.
seating 96 people at one time. A
room adjoining. formerly used as n
storage room has been rebuilt and
makes an admirable kitchen. where
school lunches will be cooked.
This lunch room will be in charge
of a competent woman and will be
conducted along the cafeteria princi-
pal. II will he fitted out so that a
student may buy his whole lunch
there or any part of IL and at the
same time one who brings his lunch
will feel as free TO eat there as any
OF the others.
