NEW TEACHING METHOD
>upt. Holmes Explains Methods By Which Children Are Taught To Read-Fivc Stages.

Children in the first grade in the public school of this city arc now working under a new system in learning to read. Supt. $. H. Holmes reported to the school board yester- day afternoon.
 Under the new system the child passes through five stages. The first is indicated by interest in books. stories and pictures. His second in- terest is marked by an interest in the way these ideas are placed upon the page. The third stage in the process of learning to read is marked by real ability to recognize printed words as symbols of ideas. He then enters upon his fourth stage where he can read succeeding phrases at time and carry the thought through from sentence to sentence. When this is done in different books and under different conditions. he has reached the fifth and final stage and is ready to enter the second grace.
 Many children pass through the five stages easily. Mir. Holmes re- ported.

VARNA, BULGARIA'S
 DAMAGED SEAPORT
Famous City Recently Shattered
 By Quak@

Washington, D. C., May 1oH'The earthquake and its accompanying tidal wave which greatly damaged \arna, Bulgaria. struck at q particu- larly unfortunate time" says a bull letin from the Washington, D. C., Headquarters of the National Geo. graphic Society. "The city has been waging an uphill fight for some years to maintain and regain the place 1t once held as second seaport on the Black Sea.
 Odessa, Russia, has been the un- disputed leader among Black Sea ports. but across the length of the sea Batum has been closely in the race for second place, while 75 miles to the north Constanza, Ru- mania, has even crept ahead of Var ma. Within recent years Narna has had to share commerce with the Bulgarian port of Burgas. If Narna's port facilities are badly wrecked. much Of her commerce may pass to this southern rival within Bulgarian n territory.
 Rebuilt Since Turkish Days.
 'Narna is one of the oldest cities of Europe, having been established 2.5oo years ago. It came into the hands Of the ancestors Of the Bull gars in the sixth century 4. D.
 There is little about the Earna or today to indicate its extreme age. The town stasnated under Turkish rule, and has been largely rebuilt since 1t fell to an independent or nearly independent Bulgaria in 1878. From that date until 1913 a large part of the Dobruja, an important wheat region lying north of Narna, was also Bulga rian territory, and it's grain passed through the port. This territory was ceded to Rumania in 1913, and although occupied tenn : porarily by Bulgaria during the World War, 1t passed back under Rumanian control in 1919.
 Blow to Varna.
 "The loss of southern or Bugar- Ian Dobruja was a great blow to Narna. At the same time the ter ritory and it's grain served to build up the rival Rumanian port of Con- s,anza which lies in northern Do- bruia
 "Earna's southern rival within her own country, Burgas. has also been favorably affected by war-de- termined shifts Of territory. When The briefly held Bulgarian outlets On the Aegean Sea were lost, the commerce of southern Bulga ria turned 10 Burgas whose harbor was then improved
 'The city of Narna with 5o,noO inhabitants. lies on q fairly steep hillside on the north shorc Of the narrow Bay of Narna. The mouth of the bay Is almost closed by three breakwaters. The port is ice-tree eX-

ANCIENT LAWSUIT
 AGAIN COMES UP
Jarndyce Vs. Jarndyce Has Been
 Going On lSO Years

Cleveland, May 12-The most famous and long drawn out lawsuit in the world is due 10 come up for final action In London in a few from Ohio yitally interested in the outcome of nearly 1S0 years of liti- gation,
 The lawsuit is that Of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce. immortalizcd for the :nglish-spealiing world by Charles Dickens in his novel Bleak House" "
 That isn't the way it appears on the docket in England, to be sure. The real names are Jennings in- stead of Jarndyce. But the case. which has become the very sym bol of the laws delays and eN- pcnses. is the same.
 Mrs. Gencvieve Jennings of Cleve- land has been one Of the leaders in the movements to get the i2 Ohio relatives to assert their claims to share in the famous Jennings es- tate. Ii they win in inc British courts they not only will have ended the famous lawsuit; they will divide between them some SeSo, 1000.
 History Of Famous Case
 Here is the story:
 In 119S there died in Suffolk county. England, an aged miser. one William l.. Jennens, or Jen- nings.
 He had planned to make a will in his last years, but an unexpected illness caused his death before he was able 10 do il. His valuable property thus fell squarely into the purlieus of chancery court There were no near relatives: claims of the more distant relatives were involved and confused. The lawyers of old England fell 10 with vim.
 During the ensuing litigation. which extended over many years something like S5oo.oo0 of the huge estate was spent in court costs and lawyers fleets. Time and again there were hints of sharp practice by one claimant or another. lm- Poi it'tiit IiptiS ilH ot'i ioti'is tiH'l'- peared. Graves were opened and name plates removed from collins.
 The Ohio claimants base their demands for shares in the estate on their relationship to one Henry Jcn. nings, a hero of the Revolutionary War.
 Henry Jennings is said to have been nephew Of old William Jen. nings. the miser. He moved tt America some time before tn,

 Turkey.Chicken Cross

Washington. May l. Rg-Answer- ing inquiries concerning the o-call- ed "turken," the department of ag- riculture declares it is altogether improba bie the fowl is cross be- tween the chicken and the turkey.
 Crosses have been obtained be- tween the chicken and the pheasant, the department says, but their pro. geny always have been sterile.
 Judging from the naked neck ot the 'turken." authorities say it is ex- tremely likely the fowl has the blood of the Pennsylvania naked neck breed Of chickens. which originated in West India and always has re. tained the distinct characteristic.

A vast veranda surrounds this
