MORE SCHOOLS
FOR new YORK

NEW YORK. July ss 1.N.s).--
That plans to care for the In.
crease in the attendance at public
schools throughout this city are
well under way was disclosed when
q compilation recently made showed
11s,s5s "sittings" planned.
This IL the highest number OF
sittings planned or contracted for
in this city at one time. Reflected
In the high figure are the attempts
to cope with the current demand
and to care for the natural in.
crease which can be figured upon to
occur within the time necessary
to complete construction Of present
contracts.
!, Sittings under contract ,on July
totalled 75, ,4S5 which IL only slightly
under the recent record figure,
as $50, reached in May of this year.
These figures point to another
spurt in the school construction
program and may be compared with
the 1925 to fill the needs at that
time. In that year q comprehens
sive schedule calling for the outlay
OF millions was swung through the
city's legislative bodies and, in
May. 1925, 113.2S1 sittings were
planned or contracted for and Of
this number s0,29O were actually
in construction.
The sittings figures AZ revealed
in the periodical reports Of the
board of education are watched
closely by prospective teachers be-
cause they reflect the need for
teachers that may be expected
upon the compilation Of the increases
in the school system.

Raykerd's operation for appendicitis
is believed to be unique. Instead OF
the scaIpel Of surgeon the iIistru.

While the patients physicians said
the removal Of the organ was not
altogether necessary at this time.
it was just as well, everything con-
sidered, for James might have had

TEACHERS TOLD
T0BE M0D|SH

DENVER, July ~ G.N.sJ.-Per-
sonal freedom Of public school teach.
ers was championed here recently
by katherine L. Craig. Colorado
State superintendent Of public In
struction.
Miss Craig. for many years widely
known as an educator, said that
teachers should dress and act in
harmony with the age. II all women
are bobbing their hair, teachers
should do the same; il short dresses
are being worn and powder and
rouge are in style, teachers should
not be deprived Of the privilege of
keeping UP with the times, II they
desire to do so.
Teachers can, at the same time,
retain reserve and dignity that
their position demands in order that
they be efficient as models and
ideals for the youth of the nation.
Teachers attract less attention
when they dress like other woman" /"
she said. Keeping up with the
times do not mean only with the
thought Of the time. A teacher
must not give all her attention to
books, teaching Is not a narrow
channel or profession set aside
from the rest of the world, but an
opportunity for service.
Just as old fashioned methods
Of teaching are now out of vague,
so are old fashioned ways of liv-
ing. Because she is molding the
youth of America with her ideals,
there are more restrictions placed
around her than anyone else. She
can't have the same callods indif-
ference toward the ideals of life as
others. But at the same time, she
should enjoy life the way other
women do"

YOUTH KILLS
PAL, II, WITH
Gift RIFLE
Tragedy Is Brought to Two
Homes by YuIe
Present.

A Christmas gift brought tragedy
into two homes Thursday night.
A father, i'll for several week, went
back to work to get means to bury
his 12-year-old son without the aid
OF charity, and the dead boys play
mate is held on a charge of man
slaughter.
The dead boy is Gerald Hoback,
son of Frank Hoback, 1908 East
Sixty-seventh street. He was killed
when a % calibre bullet, fired from
rifle in the hands of Harold
Gilpin, IT, of r. R. /, pierced his
lung.
The tragedy took place in Gilpin's
home, and was Witnessed by
Harold'S young brother, Charles, Is.
Gerald and Harold, alone in the
Gilpin home, were playing when
Charles returned from a hunting
trip. His new rifle melted the envy
of Gerald, and Harold, eager to
match his brother, ran to get his
new rifle, given him for Christmas
by his parents.
Try TO Give First Aid
After demonstrating the gun to
his guest Harold inserted a shell in
the breech and said, "Well, I've got
it loaded, Gerald"
A moment later the gun exploded
and Gerald fell to the floor.
Frightened, the two Gilpin boys
made frantic attempts to administer
first aid and Charles ran across the
street and notified French Hoback,
brother of the victim. A doctor was
called at once but the boy was dead
when he arrived.
The shooting occurred at $40.
Mr.. and Mrs Chester B. Gilpin, the
boys parents, returned home from
work short time later.
Coroner Charles H. Keever ordered
Harold held for manslaughter and
his brother for delinquency pending
further investigation.
Frank Hoback, father of the dead
youth and six other children, has
not been employed steadily for more
than month because of illness.
Parents Do Not Blame Harold
'We don't blame Harold, for we
are sure it was an accident" Mrs.
Hoback said. "The two boys loved
each other and weren't happy I'M
less they we're together"
French Hoback, a brother of the
dead youth, said when he arrived
he found Gerald in the arms of
Harold. He said Harold held the
dying boy until his death.
To DR.. Keever's offer to let the
county pay the boys funeral ex-
penses. Hoback said he would start
back to work today for a furniture
company to earn money for the
burial.
Gerald and the Gilpin boys have
been fast friends since they became
acquainted two years ago at st.
Johns school, the parents said.
They often played in the Gilpin
| home.
Funeral services will be held at
1 Sunday afternoon at Hopewell
church, near Kokomo, with burial in
J Normandy cemetery, near KoKomo.

NOTE MYSTERY;
BODY HUNTED
$1,000 Robbery, Long Taxi
Ride, Shot at Midnight
involved in Case.

Deputy sheriffs under the per-
sonal direction of Sheriff George L.
Winkler today probed one of the
most puzzling suicide mysteries that
has confronted local authorities in
years.
A long suicide note, a long mys-
terry shrouded taxicab journey, a
report Of a gun shot in a lonely
spot on the Martinsville road near
midnight-an are clews which the
investigators are attempting to piece
together as they comb the section
Of which haywood is the center,
where the suicide is believed to
have occurred Wednesday night.
Searchers so far have failed to find
the body.
The writer of the death note, who
is believed to have shot and killed
himself in the woods near haywood,
was DillCn F. Dunbar, about SO
years old, a cattleman of Earring
ton, Wyo., Investigators are con-
WINGED.
Tell Of TaXieab Ride
Registering week ago in a
downtown hotel as Howard l.. Den
ton, the man believed to be Dunbar
disappeared from the hotel Wednes-
DAY evening and has not been seen
since.
Thee story of the taxicab journey,
with its threat of suicide, was told
Sheriff Winkler this morning by
H. E. Smith, a Yellow Cab driver
whom Dunbar employed Wednesday
night.
Dunbar hailed Smiths cab at the
Union station early Wednesday eve
ming and directed that his wife" be
taken to her mothers home in the
country, with the request that the
driver return at p. m. for him.
Robbed of $4,000
Dunbar drove to the nome of Mrs.
William Woodall, r. r. o, whose
daughter, Mrs. Glea Marie Dobbins,
%, had been passed off by Dunbar
as his wife, and Smith waited an
hour and q half for him. Then
they drove to Martinsville, the
driver said, and returning, Dunbar
said he had lost or been robbed of
$1,000.
They returned to the Woodall
home, Smith said, and then started
toward indianapolis.
Near haywood, Dunbar got out of
the cab, drew gun, gave Smith a
letter and ordered him to mail it.
He did not pay for taxi fare.
A little later Fred Craft, a farmer
living near haywood, heard the re-
port of a gun Smith this morning
turned the letter, addressed to Mrs.
Dillon F. Dunbar, Harrington, Wyo.,
over to the sheriff.
The note, signed Dillon" re-
vealed that the writer had been es-
tranged from his wife and three
children for several years and was
respondent because of the separa-
ton.
1t said, in part: ''Three months
