Chief Kline stated.
Ryan had nothing to say.
Mrs. Mcpherson had retired by 10
o'clock tonight at the Hotel Gadsden
to secure rest for the arduous journey
tomorrow into the desert.
Chief Kline said that Mrs. McPher-
son was an exceptionally fast walker
and that she walked away" from him
out in the desert tonight when a party
drove out to Niger Head mountain,
southeast of Aqua Prieta, left the car
and struck out to determine the route

the woman, "Rose," whom Mrs Nc
Pherson named as one of her abduc-
tors.
Yesterday a posse led by two expert
crackers traced a woman's footprints,
believed to be Mrs. McPherson's, seven
miles southeast of Aqua Prieta toward
Niger Head mountain. Niger Head
mountain was described to Mrs. Nc
Pherson by those in attendance at her
bedside, and she said she believed she
recalled that landmark when she was
making her way across the desert to-
ward the international boundary line.
Sheriff Mcdonald was unsuccessful
in his quest for evidences of Rose"
and her co-conspirator, "Steve," in the
vicinity southeast of the little Mexican
town across the border, and failed to
find a shack which would meet the
description given him by Mrs McPher-
son.

DELAWARE EDUCATION 9TH
Jumps From 3Sth in 1918 to Present
Average This Year

In 1918, Leonard P. Ayres, an ex-
pert who made valuable statistical
tests during the war, worked out
basis for the educational rating of
the states. He analyzed the causes
of a good school and set them forth
as ten points. 1. Per cent of school
population (children between 5 and
is years of Federal Census) attend
ing school daily. 2. Average days
attended by each child of school age.
g. Average number of days schools
were kept open. A. Per cent that
school attendance is of total attend
ance. 5. Per cent that boys were of
girls in high school. 6. Average an
nual expenditure per child attending.
Z. Average annual expenditure per
child of school age. s. Average an
nual expenditure per teacher employ
ed. 9. Expenditure per pupil for pur-
poses other than teachers salaries
10. Expenditure per teacher for sal
aries. The statistics on each of these
ten points were secured from the rec
ords of the State Department Of Edu-
cation; a rating on each point was
worked out, and general average or
"Index figure" struck, for each state.
According to this method Delaware's
index figure in 1918 proved to be

NEGRO JAILED FOR SHOOTING
Cecil Garry held for Inflicting Wound

Cecil Garry, coiored, was taken to
Dover Jail last week to await trial for
shooting Isiah Holland, also colored,
at the latter's home in "Jim Town," "
Milford's negro district, on Monday
night of last week. The trouble lead
ing up to the shooting is said to have
started when Holland returned home
and found Garry being entertained by
his wife. Holland is said to have
thrown bricks through the windows of
his home in an effort to drive Garry
away. Garry returned the fight, send
ing leaden bullets after his man. Hol-
land was hit twice in the arm. He
reported the affair to Night Officer
Davis, who at first did not believe the
yarn. Further investigation disclos-
ed the truthfulness of the story and
Garry was arrested Tuesday morning.
He was taken to Dover by Officer
Courtney.

SMYRNA TEACHERS GRADE 1907
Second Year in Which All Teachers
Are Enrolled in National Association

Washington, D. c., November %,
1926. Special to The Smyrna Times
One hundred percent of the teach
ers of the public schools of Smyrna,
Delaware, are enrolled in the Nation
al Education Association, according to
a report received by Mr.. J. w. Crab
tree, secretary of the Association,
from Mr.. Harvey H. Kenyon, the su-
perintendent of schools. This is the
second year all the teachers of the
Smyrna schools have been members
of the National Education Association
In writing to Mr.Kenyon, acknowledge
ing the report, Mr.. Crabtree saws:
eve are proud of your one hundred
percent enrolment. You and your
associates are to be congratulated on
this high professional spirit. The
new certificates show by a gold seal
called an Honor Medal, the first year
of your one hundred percent enroll
ment. Your certificates will be sent
to you soon." The National Educa-
tion Association was organized in
1857. Through its efforts the United
States Bureau of Education was es-
tablished. 1t has more than 100000
members. 1t is the largest profess
siOnal teachers association in the
world and the greatest publisher of
literature on education. Among the
planks in its platform of service are:
(1) A competent teacher in every
public school position in the United
States; (2) such inducements to enter
the profession as will attract the
most talented men and women; (3)
the establishment of Department of
Education with a Secretary in the
Presidents Cabinet; and (4) ratifica-
ton of the Constitutional Amendment
authorizing Congress to regulate child
labor.

Breaking into the store of F. H.

will be apprehended soon.
Thursday evening Mr.. Murphy
locked his store preparatory to
walking to the Santa Fe depot to

for a few moments. Evidently the
store had been spotted" and Muir
phys movements were being watch

had been made the burglars had
made their exit.

LIGHT PLANT MGR.
PROMISES LOWER
RATES In FUTURE

Appearing before the city council
at their meeting Tuesday night to
discuss with them the possibility of
an electrical ordinance, G. T. Her
rington, manager of the Flagstaff,
Winslow and Holbrook power
plants, made unofficial promise
that light rates in Winslow would
be lowered in short time.
Mr.. Harrington stated that he
had, after a survey that took sew
eral months, sent in his recon-
mendations for the local light rate
decrease, and when Councilman J.
B. Edwards suggested that the ten
tative date might be within four
months, Mr.. Harrington stated it as
his belief that the drop would come
in much less time.
The proposed ordinance is de-
signed as safety measure, and
will define the type of wiring to be
used in certain districts, and will
probably require that only certified
electricians be permitted to install
wiring, especially in downtown
buildings. Mr.. Herrington's offer
of assistance to the city engineer in
working out the ordinance was ac-
cepted with thanks by the council.
The light rate question arose at
the end of the hearing on the pro-
posed law, and was brought up by
Edwards, who pointed out that the
council had been the target for a
good deal of criticism, although
they have striven for some time to
bring about reduction.
The light plant manager thor
oughly explained the reason for the
meter deposit required when cleo
trio service is installed, stating that
any plant having monopoly on a
service is forced by law to deliver
this service to all who apply, re-
gardless of their credit standing.
and that the deposit is necessary to
protect the company.
The rate reduction will bring to
a close a sustained effort of the
council to effect such a saving to
Winslow people.
