Ala meeting of the Board OF
Education of Hamilton Township
held in the Mays Landing school
house on Friday night, it was de.
cided to locate the new school
house approximately 1875 feet back
from the property line on Farragut
avenue. and facing that thorough
fare instead of facing Sesond St,
as was originally planned. The
building will be about 80 feet from
Second street and so feet from the
property line on the other side,
with a back yard 40 feet deep for
the full width of the school
grounds.
S. Hudson Vaughn, architect for
the building, was present with the
| plans and specifications and re-
ported that the plans had met with
the approval of the State and that
he was expecting them from Tren-
ton within a few days with the ap-
proval of the State Department on
them.
The Board decided not to formal
" approve the plans and specifi-
cations until the State had done
so. A meeting will be held in the
near future, probably next week.
for the purpose of having the form
Of bonds for the 500, 900 issue
approved, and it is expected that
the plans will be approved at that
time and bids advertised for.
The State Department is salts
fled with the plans as they are but
suggested one or two minor
changes, the principal one being
the addition of two additional
exits from the gymnasium. in
order that it could be used indepen-
dent OF the rest of the building,
the added exits being directly to
the open air, instead of through
the building. This change will be
made.
The principal change decided on
at the meeting Friday night
was to increase the height of the
gymnasium by putting the floor
lower in the ground. This will not
affect the plans or the rest of the
building. Tlse revised plans call
for the gymnasium ceiling to be
Is feet high at the lowest point,
under the beams, and % feet at
the highest point. This was thought
necessary for the benefit of the
basketball games. The plans as
originally drawn called for a cell
ing varying from IA feet to IS feet.
The gymnasium will be 40 feet by
10 feet, 4 inches, which will give
plenty of Don for a basketball
cage.
The members of the Board de-
cided that the first step to be taken
at present is to have a survey OF
the property made. 1t was decided
to get a surveyor at once and have
this work done.
The building will be of fire
proof construction, light brick,
trimmed with terra Gotta, three
stories in height. There will be 16

OLD SETTLEMENT FOUND
IN GERMAN EXCAVATION

pointing to human sacrifices, has been
discovered at Buschmuehle, near
Frankfurt ON the Oder.

the Prussian government has been eX-

tury A. D. but digging deeper down,
Professor Unverzagt Of the Berlin
Ethnclogical Museum and his helpers
came upon far older remains, which
they declare to date from a time when
the Slavs had not yet separated them
selves from their indo-germanic an
ces, ry. They are said to be the wild
Thracians and Illyrtns who preceded
the ancient Greeks and Romans in
southeastern Europe and who were af-
forwards partly Romanized and partly
merged into other invading tribes.
Never before have Thracian remains
been discovered so far north in Europe

ment, after being abandoned by its

SAYS WHIPPET
OFFERS BUYER
REAL BARGAIN

when it comes to all the things
that the everyday user of light car
needs in his automobile and at the
light car price, there is only one look
needed to prove that the Whippet is
the completed whole and a real bar
gain" said G. E. Pettingall, Douglas
Willys-Knight and Overland agent, in
talking about automobiles. We've got
all the factors that are needed to pro-
vide an outstanding car for service, +"
he added
"The criterion by which to Judge
the stamina of any automobile is
what it can do in the open country,
over all sorts of roads built by
Mother Nature, and not by those
which are built by man." said Pettin-
gall.
Lee Doud, the Willvs Overland
merchant at Casper, Wyo., recently
took a stock Whippet Collegiate road
Ster from his showroom and, after
breaking it in, accompanied by his
service manager, Cal Brown, made
1077 miles in "a hours over Wyoming
roads. He averaged 4497 miles per
hour, no time being taken out for the
/ 10 stops that were made.
During the entire trip, the speed
ometer lowered between 55 and GO
miles an hour. In certain stretches it
hit IS and held it, in spite of terrific
,headWindS.
"The rublicity which Lee and the
Whippet received as a result of this
run 'rankled' a dealer handling a
competitive line. This dealer was GER
tain that his four-cylinder roadster
could defeat the Whippet in match
race from Casper to Rawlins and re-
, turn, distance of 240 miles.
ARRANGEMENTS were made for the

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.--Fidel La
Barba, world fiyweight champion,
today remained a to 1 favorite to
defeat ElHy Clark, Scotland, Euro
pean champion, in their bout at
Madison Square Garden Friday.
The length of the bout-ten rounds
has been one of the factors lead
ing those who back La Barba. Clark
has been accustomed to long fights
of twenty rounds or more, while the
American champion has been forced
to content himself with six-round
prelims until recently.
La Barba thus has been schooled
for fast action while Clark's train
ing has been to play the waiting
game. Boxing fans believe the
American should pile up enough
points in the early rounds to win.
Clark intends to become the first
boxer to report his own fight over
the transatlantic telephone. He has
arranged with the London Times to
telephone his version of the bout.

One Leader MAY
Pass Out

BR. United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-It is the
opinion of baseball men here that
the latest attack of the American
League president against Commits
sioner Lands will be the baseball
death of Lands or Johnson.
There are several ways in which
the American League magnates can
find a way out. They can ask John
son to resign or accept the resigna.
ton the commissioner is expected
to offer again.
They can chastise Johnson with a
fine. rebuke or another demotion
from the advisory council to which
he was restored only recently.
They can force him to sign an
other pledge to keep his shirt on
and respect the handshakc of friend
ship that the commissioner gave
him recently.
There were reasons to believe to-
day the American League owners
would go after Johnson and toss at
least a majority of votes in favor of
the commissioner.
But if it should so happen the vote
would go against Lands, the Ma
tional League owners will demand
special joint meeting of the two
leagues and force Il vote upon which
one means more to baseball, Lands
or Johnson.
The National League always has
been an ardent Lands partisan, but
while official baseball seems to be
lined with a majority against John
son, he has his defenders.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10. -- Silence
seemed ominous today as baseball
leaders marshaled their forces for
the hearing scheduled to take place
in the office OF Commissioner K. NJ.
Lands next Monday, at which the
greatest row in the history Of the
national pastime is expected to be
aired
No one wants to talk and it is
apparent that those leaders of base
ball who are directly or indirectly in
volved in the row between Landis
and Ban Johnson, president of the
American League, over Landis' atti-
tude in making public what the
American League considered conf
dental facts, are apprehensive.
Predicts Merry Session
Johnson, who censured Lands for
giving out what he knew of the
Cobb-Speaber case, commented 'it
looks like a merry session, but I'm
going to back up every word"
Lands, the man who always be-
fore has taken the attitude that the
public had a right to know every
thing that goes on it's national
sport, doesn't have a word to say.
Returning here from French Lick,
Ind, where the joint major and
minor meeting closed Tuesday,
Lands Immediately started prepara-
ton for next Mondays meeting.
American League leaders so far
carefully have avoided making
statements that would reveal their
stand on Johnsons defiance of the
commissioner.
Something i'm Reserve?
There is a general feeling that
the American League president
must have something in reserve or
he would have hesitated to reopen
the feud which. two years ago, re-
suited in his being disciplined by
Lands to the extent that Frank
Navin, Detroit, was substituted for
Johnson as Lands American
League adviser.
Many baseball followers are Of the
opinion either Lands or Johnson
will retire after the impending con-
troversy is settled.
