LIGHT ON THE HIGH
SCHOOL PROPOSAL

The following comparative figures
will show what the High School has
cost each district, the year before the
union, the year of Its first existence
1928, and the cost of 1923. including the
proposed mill building fund levy.
To which must be added the bond
issue, which will amount to about 3
mills or less, including interest and
principle.
A meeting is being arranged for each
district to explain more fully the plan.

less than last year and In others very
little more.
The voters will be notified by card

district and every voter in each district

of woman who left a valuable dog
with the butcher. The butcher. by the
way, takes charge of dogs for the voy-
age. The trip was rough. The woman
became seasick. Meanwhile the dog
had four pups, three of which died.
They were cast overheard. When the
woman recovered she was told of the
disposition of the dead pups. She re-
fused to believe the story, declaring that
the pups were still alive and that some
steward was keeping them to sell in
port, because any one could tell by look
ing at the mother that they were very
valuable dogs I do not know if she
ever believed the story, but I do know
that when we transport canaries and
bird dies a wing is clipped and pre-
sented to the consignee as evidence.
The same with foxes. The tail of the
animal is cut off and submitted as alb
solute evidence of death.
Performs Marriage.
Then there was a time when the
captain performed marriages at sea,
but even before the practice was abol-
i9hed by the Shipping Board I had de-
cided to give it up, because they did
not always seem "to take" Sailors
should Confine their tying of knots to
ropes, I think.
My first marriage was performed in
the English Channel en- route from
Cherbourg to Southampton. The par
ties concerned were on the staff of the
League of Nations. They had to be
American citizens. of course, to be mar
ried on an American ship. The for
mality is very much like that ashore,
except that the words according to
the laws of the sea- are used instead
of the State in which the ceremony
is taking place. Six months later the
couple returned to the United States
to get divorce.
The life of the captain also has its
humorous sides. l was making
routine inspection when I discovered the
ships bootblack industriously polishing
shoes that were just outside of state
room door.

I said. 'Whv. don't you go below to
do your work."

"these shoes belong to Scotchman in
this cabin and he is holding the laces

his work. That Is part Of service to

ENDURANCE FLIGHT
ENDS IN II HOURS
Stinson and Page Forced Down by
Wind and Snow on Sagi-
nav Bay.

BAY CITY, Mich, March 9 dP.-The
endurance airplane flight of Eddie Stin-
son and Randolph &. Page ended after
approximately II hours of flight last
night, when they landed on the, ice of
Saginaw Bay at $50 o'clock. Heavy
snow and a strong wind forced the land
ing. Stinson said.
The two veteran Detroit pilots took
OF from the ice runway on the bay
here at 10:45:15 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, planning to stay aloft 80 hours.
Their motor was functioning perfectly,
they said, but the driving snow which
came with nightfall and gale sweep
ing in from Lake Huron made flying
conditions dangerous.
Stinson, who twice has held the en-
durance record, only to see it surpassed,
said after landing that he did not know
whether the Sally Sovereign, his plane,
would be used in another attempt to re-
gain the honor.
The time of landing was not official.

Supervising the operation of the YES
sci is not always the masters greatest
difficulties. There are times when he
might wish he were a sort of walking
encyclopedia. He must answer ques-
lions concerning the ship. storms water
and hundreds of other subjects pertain
ing to the sea. and should always be
ready to tell stories, especially in the
dining saloon.
Catering to the travelling public and
protecting it also are tasks of the cap
tain. On the North Atlantic the pro-
fessional gambler hunts his prey
especially at the height Of the tourist
season. Warnings are posted in con-
spicuous places against the professional
gambler. but sometimes the unwary
tourist, wishing to pass the time away
innocently in small game, gets IN the
web.
The gambler always starts in small
way and only begins to win when the
stakes get large. Many of these card
sharpS are known to the officers of the
ships, but now and then new one
comes along. I recall meeting couple
on the deck one day. an attractively
dressed pair, who greeted me effusively.
During the conversation the woman re-
ferred to her IA pieces of baggage. This
struck me as rather strange. inquired
and found there was no baggage in the
hold belonging to that couple. 1 was
suspicious. Later I saw them playing
cards.
Offered Check.
They were winning. I warned their
would-be victim, but he did not take
me seriously. He fully appreciated the
situation the next day when he won
and they refused to give him cash, in
sisting that he accept a check The
gamblers had allowed him to win to
vary the monotony. The matter was
brought to my attention and the cash
was turned over at my request. No fur
Their games were held in which the pair
participated for the remainder of the

his reputation.
The ships pool satisfies the average
traveller who wishes to gamble. The
pool is made up by passengers, who pay
from one to several hundred dollars for
a ticket. Each ticket is numbered.
Sometimes it is auctioned off to the
highest bidder.
When the ships run is posted, the
ticket bearing the number comparing
with the last numeral of the mileage
is the winner

embarrassment for a while was the case

invested for the Prince out of the rev.
enues of the duchy.
The Prince of Wales spends very
little money. Probably no Prince Of
Wales has spent so little. He does not
keep q yacht or run racing stable, nor
has he a big country house. His two
hunting establishments are modest af-
fairs, and in the Summer cost him
virtually nothing.
When the revenues from the duchy
Of Cornwall were settled as provision
for the Prince of Wales, it was assumed
that the Prince must always marry. in
which case he would require a fairly
big income properly to maintain his po-
sition. But the present heir has pre-
ferred to remain bachelor so far.

NEW YORK LANDING FIELD BLANKETED WITH FOG;
 FUEL RUNNING LOW

Lieut.. Jimmie Doolittle who is perhaps Americas leading air. man, and who, so to speak, might be termed a former resi- dent of Seward and is still property owner; also a relative of Gus Borgen, local business man, is again in the limelight in the east. Last year, or about that time, he remained in the air, high over South America, while seriously crippled. The year before that the daring sky pill ot was given credit for being the first flier to make the "out- side" loop Just a few months ago he figured in the following escapade:
 The famous army airman and pilot of the Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics, very nearly joined the caterpil- lar club recently instead of stick ing by his ship and ''mussing it Iup a little" in a forced landing near Wentworth, N. J., it was revealed by officers at Mitchell field L. I. Dolittle escaped in jury and saved the Guggenheim Funds Wasp-motored Vought Corsair except for broken wings and tail surfaces, easily repaired.
 Doolittle left Buffalo at 2:45 pm. and reached fog-bound New York at 6:45. Keeping un- der the miSts he struck the Hud- son and came down the water front, able to see the fog cover ed tops of the building in Man hatten. He tried to get Mitchel Field by following along the south shore of Long Island, but the housetops were still in the clouds.
 He began climbing thru the clammy gray blanket. At 2,OOo feet the plane came over a sea fog, and Doolittle began cruls- ing about. He tried Miller Field and Teterboro Airport, but they were both plotted out. Newark Airport heard him and switched on all it's runway lights, but they were not even a glow to the lone pilot.
