HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The high school has been unusually
lucky in escaping the epidemic of
whooping cough which has swept the
grade school, causing the absence of
about one-third of the grade school
pupils.
The showers are being used to
good advantage by the students.
Since basket ball has been discon-
tinued the -Four Freshmen" have
been having quite time to find things
to amuse themselves.
Marie Bashaw, a. member Of the
Freshman class, who held out against
the temptation of getting her hair bob
bed, finally yielded, and her long locks
were cut off. This makes the high
school girls an almost bobbed-hair
school; with the exception Of two.

The men will appear before Judge George Griswold in the Berlin town court tomorrow night.
 The raid was conducted by two members of the squad, Officer Frank Brown and Prosecutor Charles r. Lewis. They had been watching the house for some time and had received a tip that there was considerable liquor kept there.
 They entered the place and calmly asked for permission to search. No resistance was offered and the stuff was found. The nine men arrested as frequenters were mostly brick yard laborers No bonds were asked.

CHINESE SERVANTS
 TO GET JOBS CACK
Canton Strikers Offered Work fl
 They End Walkout
By Thc A,snclated rress.

By The Associated Press
 Canton, China. July lo.--Rcsidents of Shameen, the foreign quarter. whose domestic and commercial life has been almost paralyzed by q strike of Chinese employees, at meeting late yesterday voted unanimously To re-employ the strikers if the Nalkout were called off. The strike was called in protest against recent orders requiring, among other items, that Chinese employed on the island later than 2 D, m. obtain passports. with photographs attached, for display to the authorities on entering or leaving the quarter after that hour.
 The Shameen residents voted 100 10 40 10 grant the strikers pay for the time they have been out some of those attending the session failing to vote, so much dissatisfaction was expressed at the gathering that the municipal authorities had withheld all advance intimations that they pro- posed to put the new regulations into effect.
 Kwantak-Chi, who is taking lead ing part in the direction of the strike and who headed the great wn'kout at Hong Kong some time ago, said today that the British and French consus had agreed 10 cancel the new rcgu- lations except those having passports and the deposits Of photographs of passport holders. However. kwan and the consuls are to meet again today.
 We will never cease 10 strike un- less our demands arc granted he declared.
 The British consul in statement declaring that all foreigners were re- quired 10 possess passports with photographs attached, inquired why, in view Of this, the Chinese should object 10 the new regulations. This, however, is regarded by the Chinese as subterfuge.
 The strikers are threatening cStcn- sions of the walkout if no settlement is reached before D. m. today.
