town of Accident who was engaged in
changing a tire near a curve in the
road and was not seen by Mrs. An
stead until she was quite close. APP
plying the brakes she brought her We
hicle under control, however, and be-
ing closely followed by the Carsten
car rear-end collision resulted which
forced the central car into the parked
vehicle, resulting in the almost COM
plete wreckage of the two machines.
The injured women were brought to
Oakland where they received surgical
treatment at the hands of DIR. Nc
Comas and remained here a day or
two as guests at the William-James
Hotel.
Mr.. Carsten was placed under ar
rest by State Officer Currey and was
fined for reckless driving. This &C
ton was followed by civil suit be-
ing filed against him for damages.

TEACHER-WIFE
SUES FOR JOB
State Tenure Law to Face
Court Test.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Sept
24-What is thought will be test
case of the teacher tenure law has
been filed in Montgomery circuit
court by Mrs. Mary Cave Ramsey,
who seeks to regain a position on
the teaching staff of the local
schools from which she was dis
missed when she was married last
June.
Mrs. Ramsey, who is the daughter
of Grant Cave, Union township
trustee, recites in the complaint that
she was employed for the school
year of 1926-29 at a salary of
ST, 100 and that her services were
satisfactory. Due to the fact that
she previously had been employed
as a teacher in the city schools for
a period of more than five years, she
asserts she is entitled to an indefl-
mite contract under provisions Of the
tenure law, regardless of the fact
that a local ruling prevents married
women from teaching in the city
schools.
Mrs. Ramsey says that she pre-
sented herself to Superintendent A.
D. Montgomery on Sept. 9, the first
day of school, ready to assume her
duties, but that he and members Of
the school board refused to allow
her to teach. She asks that she be
reinStated in the position and be
allowed back salary for the past
three weeks.
