| WORK IN SCHOOLS
Says Education Costs Less Per
Student in Bismarck Than
in Other Cities

Per capita cost for the education
Of high school students is lower in
Bismarck than in any other city in
the state, w. H. Payne, high school
principal, told members of the Ro-
tary Club at luncheon meeting
Wednesday.
The average cost per student is
$101.13, he said.
Stressing the Importance of regu-
lar attendance at classes by high
school students, Payne pointed to
the fact that the new cut system
instituted in the local school this
year has been responsible for bet
ter attendance records. During
the first six weeks Of the school
year, there were 800 less days alb
sence than there were during the
corresponding period the previous
year.
Persons desiring to visit the
schools are assured a cordial re-
ception from members Of the faculty
who are anxious to exhibit methods
employed by. teachers, he said.
In commenting on athletic work
being done in Bismarck schools, Roy
D. Mcleod, athletic director, said
seven men are engaged in directing
athletic work in addition to their
regular work on the faculty. In
terest in athletics has grown by
leaps and bounds in the last few
years with an increasing number Of
boys and girls participating each
year, he said. Recreational pro-
grams are carried out under the eye
OF supervisors and permission of
parents is obtained where boys en-
gage in strenuous sports.
Character education and physical
education 60 hand in hand, John W.
Keel, city recreational director, said
in describing physical education
work that is being done with chill
dren in the first six grades in gram
mar school. It is important that
the child be taught correct methods
OF play during the formative years
when habits are easily formed. If
the child is taught correctly when
young. he will be much better
equipped to take his place in later
life, Reel said. Health contests to
determine the healthiest boy or girl
In the class prove Of interest to the
child and stimulate desire in him
to improve his health, Reel said.
Visitors at the meeting were Rob-
ert Birdzell, A. C. Isamineer, Henry

Prof. Albert Einstein, surprised
that his secret departure" from
Germany was no secret, was sight
seeing here today before resuming
his journey tomorrow to San Pedro
Cal, aboard the freighter Portland
Einstein and his wife arrived
aboard the Portland yesterday
The famous scientist wore the
same Panama hat he was given
when he passed through the canal
enroute to Mount Wilson observa-
tory last year. He displayed his
same fear of publicity and an
swered questions slowly. Madame
Einstein interpreted.
Einstein said he would spend nine
weeks at Mount Wilson observa-
tory at Pasadena and might visit
other California cities. He was
afraid to meet 80 many pople,'
however, and did not accept invi-
tations to visit other American
universities. Einstein said his worl;
on new theories was progressing
but added, science is never fin
ished."
Einstein declined comment OF
world disarmament. He said III
did not believe the Manchuriar
conflict would lead to a world war
The scientist did not reveal By
what route ne would return tC
Germany, but said he would moi
travel overland across the United
States, because there are too many
reporters"
Madame Einstein was disap-
pointed at not receiving mail from
her children. She had expected il
to arrive here on a faster boat. The
Einsteins dined last night with the
German consul.

of imprisonment in q small house
near Kansas City Kans., and then

MASKED NEGROES
HOLD UP STORE
WEST OF HERE
Proprietor Has Narrow
Escape From Death BY
Wild Shot From Gun.

Robbed of Sl00 by two masked
negroes who lined patrons of his
store on the San Diego highway
about two miles west Of here,
against a wall with their hands up,
E. S. Brooks last night narrowly
escaped death when he dove for
his own gun as the robbers were
leaving. drawing the fire of one
SO closely that the bullet barely
missed his head.
The negroes were out Of the
store when Brooks got his gun, and
Two shots sent after their darkened
car apparently had no effect as
the negroes fled south along the
Brawley main canal from the
highway.
With them the robbers took
Brooks billfold, containing $50 in
cash and $40 in checks. The store
keeper was the only one of eight
men in the store to whom the
bandits paid any attention after
lining the patrons and loungers
against the wall, their backs turned
and their hands in the air
They apparently knew him. and
that he kept large sums OF money
in his billfold to meet ranch pay
checks, Brooks said today, for they
singled him out from among the
| others. One of the negroes
searched him while the other
threatened him and others with a
| loaded pistol.
The negroes entered the store
about 9 o'clock last night and were
in the center of the floor before
they were noticed. Both had guns,
| one an automatic and the other
a large revolver.
Bullet Comes Close
Patrons were lined against the
wall while Brooks was searched
The bandits then forced him To
open the cash register and took
what small change it contained
AS they backed toward the door
Brooks dove behind the counter n
an effort to reach his gun.
| One of the robbers fired. The
bullet missed Brooks head and
| punctured q mix can on tne SnelI
The negroes ran out and got into
their car, which had been parked
behind the store.
. Pursuing them outside, Brooks
fired after the car as 1t went soutt
with all lights out. About hal
mile down the road the lights
were turned on as the speeding
robbers escaped.
Brooks furnished Lloyd CaStan.
ian, deputy sheriff, with a descrip-
ton of the robbers. One of them
he said, was large man, while the
other was much smaller.
The stolen billfold has the iui'
tials "E.S.B." in gold letters en-
graved on the back.
Sheriff George l.. Campbell anc
w. S. Keating, deputy, today were
investigating the robbery.

M'FADDEN READY
TO CONTINUE HIS
FIGHT ON HOOVER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. W.p)-
Undeterred by administration ef-
forts to punish him, Rep. Louis T.
McFadden, Repn., Pa, will continue
his fight against the Hoover NOR
atorium. He will speak against it
in the house, probably in the op-
ening debate today.
The Pennsylvania Republican, who
raised q storm in congress when
he accused President Hoover of vio-
lating his oath Of office in negoti-
ating the moratorium, also an
nounced he would issue a state
ment later upon the administra-
tion's attempt to punish him by
depriving him Of his patronage
powers.
McFadden temporarily withheld
his fire while he conferred with
friends on the punitive measures
sponsored by Senator Reed, Repn.,
Pa, and gathered additional ma
terial for a new assault on the NOR
atorium.
He may bring the administra-
ton punishment formally to the at
tention of the house, and thus open
for general debate the most sensa-
tional breach in Republican banks
in recent years.
McFadden was further Snubbed
by the White House today when he
was not invited to a breakfast con-
ference of house leaders with Pres
ident Hoover. He was for 10 years
chairman of the banking and cur
rency committee and now is rank
ing Republican member. Other
committee members were called to
the White House. Presidential Sec
retary Walter Newton said McFad-
den was omitted from the list by
unanimous consent"
When the banking committee met
to begin hearings on the S500,O00, ,O0O

OF night clubs, cocktail parties and

day at dapper Dr. Carl Andre, on

sensation, in which the handsome
dentist stands accused of hurting
the girl TO her death from a speed

it remained for Bernard Underwood,
fraternity brother OF the dentist, to
deal the states most effective blow.
He told the jury of a dozen men
that on the evening of the girls

were together. Underwood thought
they all were going to Cornelius
