Finer School Buildings
Is UniUersal Demand

The little old red schooIhouse is
dropping off into Obscurity. Like the
hickory stick of the Three Rs days,
past.
Modern progress" says the Indiana
Limestone Quarrymen's association,
sis sweeping before it the fimsy shells
that once housed armies of tiny Amer
leans. These claptrap structures, cold,
unsanitary and at best poor fire risks,
are rapidly being replaced by sturdy
modern buildings.
"A survey just completed shows
that during the year 1924 more than
$225 100000 was expended in replac-
ing antiquated school buildings
plans have been adopted and con-
tracts already awarded indicate that
the present year will show a still
greater volume of school building con-
structiOn. Beauty in architecture is
being combined with utilization
Community interest and civic pride
are in a measure responsible for the
stride toward better school buildings.
More and more schools are becoming
community centers as we'll as temples
of wisdom. Space for assemblies and
recreation purposes are now almost
a first consideration
Waste Of space was character
istic of many old school buildings
By judicious architecture, it has been
estimated, $500OO,0OO could be saved,
the chief economies being in the re-
duction of waste space on stairs and
corridors and the increase in usable
area.

buildings with better facilities and at
a lower cost to the taxpayer"

"Go-Getter'' Wins

There is but one sure way to get
what one wants, and that is to go
after it and to go with such deter
mination that obstacles to attainment
will be removed This is as true of
towns and communities as of men. If
a town wishes another industry it will
get it much more quickly by going
after it with some definite and attrac-
tive offer than by waiting for the in
dustry to come seeking location If
town needs new hotel, as Albert
vile did, the quickest way to get one
is to do as Albertville did. 1t is the
''go-getter" that gets results and the
town that needs hotel an industry, a
bank or a larger population must be
a 'go-getter" if it hopes to secure the
thing desired Albertville has pointed
the way to many small Alabama cities

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says: "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilner & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and inclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.

Middy's Hazing Makes Pension Needed

= INJURIES inflicted by hazers while
he was midshipman at the
Z United States Naval academy at
Annapolis, have brought life pen
sion for William Fl. McGregor of
JOhnstown, Pa. On an appeal from
a ruling of the pension bureau, Secre-
tary of the Interior Work decided that
the injuries were received in the
line of duty and, therefore, entitled
the victim to federal pension.
McGregor was appointed to Annap-
oils on June Is, 1922, and shortly aft
erward, while on duty, was hazed. He
was taken to sick quarters and was
subsequently transferred to the naval
hospital on a stretcher, where he re-
NAMED in bed for almost five months
as a result of injuries to his left hip
and a stomach affection.
The victim did not know of the seri-
Gus extent of his injuries at the time
and refused to disclose the Identities
of his assailants or to reveal the man
ner in which he was injured. His
silence, his pension application said,
was due to a custom that exists at the
naval academy of not tOlerating
''squealers" and yellow streaks," f."

Old Schoolhouse Nou
a Community Center

One little red schOolhOuse in Yer
mont has been transformed into a live
ly center of community cooperation,
according to the statement of the su-
perintendent of schools in Poultney.
made to the Interior department, bu-
reau Of education. This schoOlhouse
was lacking in attractiveness and in
the conveniences and equipment need
ed by a modern rural school until
1922, when a parent-teacher associa-
ton was organized. Things began to
happen as soon as the men and women
Of the community became interested
in the school. Money was raised for
necessary equipment. Fourteen men
with four teams In the school district
had "bee" one Saturday afternoon
which resulted in regarding the school
grounds. The people opened their
homes and raised money in various
ways for further improvements. The
teacher cO-operated with the women in
their efforts to raise money.
The school is now rated a standard
school," but the Red Schoolhouse Par
ent-Teacher association will continue
to work until superior" name plate
has been placed on the building.

a repellant attitude of aloofness.
The severity of his injuries, how
ever, forced an investigation and an
exposure Of the hazing. Smarting un-
der the lash of his classmates and be-
lieving his career in the navy had
been destroyed, McGregor resigned,
and his resignation was accepted.
The Navy department held he was
entitled to a pension, but the pension
bureau took the view his injuries were
not received in line of duty but were
due TO conditions to which he volun-
tarily submitted"
In reversing this decision, the Sec
retary of the interior states:
''Hazing is in violation of the rules
of the academy and the laws of the
United States, and the claimant was
entitled to such protection as would
prevent the act, which was not afford
ed him. TO hold that the victim was
out of line of duty when the fact is
that it was the hazers who were not
in line of duty is paradox.
"The department, therefore, con-
cludes, in harmony with the holding
of the Navy department, that the
claimants injuries as a result of haz-
ing, were incurred in line of duty"

Almost as Much on Vernal Garments As On Those of Winter Season, Displays Show.

Paris, Feb. 21. -- The advance spring coats now on exhibition at the large dressmaking establishments have nearly as much fur trimming as those worn during the winter season. Some are shown with collars of turs arranged in patterns-shaved lamb plaited with fine lines of nutria; squares of gazelle lying next to squares of beaver, and ermine strip cd with seal skin.
 Twills and flat surface English mixtures, failles, crepes and otto mans combined with gaily printed chiffons are the most generally seen fabrics for suits.
 There is also a choice this spring of many beautiful prints. in floral patterns, gcometric design, polka dottings and stripes. The stripings are broken and irregular in an evil dent effort to avoid the barber-poe effect.
