few cases, it is wiser to enter pupils
at six and half years rather than
at five and a half Parents are invited
to come to the First Grade rooms with
their children on the opening day
Pupils will be assigned to the two
rooms in approximately equal num-
bers.
Post Graduates.
Last year a large number of post
graduates took advantage of a years
schooling following their graduation
They were largely grouped mainly in
the Commercial department where it
was felt they received training equal
to that given in many business schools
1t is the policy of the school to ac-
conmodate all such persons and they
will be admitted on the same basis as
other pupils as fong as classes can be
kept to a workable size and as long
as equipment Is available. A deposit
of $40 will be asked of all post grad
yates, the same 70 be returned to the
pupil when they have been enrolled
SO days. This regulation is adopted to
limit the enrolment to those who have
made definite plans to complete one
or more courses.
Accommodations for Teachers.
Those who wish to open their homes
to teachers for room or board should
call or see Miss McGrade who will
have charge of this matter.
High School Enrolment.
1t has been found very satisfactory
to have all the high school enrollments
completed before the opening of school
In this way classes and schedules may
be arranged SO that the first day is
put in on constructive work instead
of a preliminary discussion of credits,
courses and the other details that ac-
company high school work. The super
intendent's office will be open Friday
and Saturday to all who wish to en-
roll. 1t is of particular Importance that
all Freshman pupils select their courses
early.

CHICAGO, January 16.-While the
Eastern railroads are planning con-
solidation to cope with the modern
problem Of transportation at q profit,
the Western lines are using the old trial
and error method.
There is not much talk Of mergers In
the roads that thread westward from
Chicago, now that the proposed Great
Northern-Northern Pacific tie-up has
fallen through. Instead, all sorts Of
experiments are being tried In an effort
to bring business back to the railroads.
Faster Time Made.
The crack" trains are even more
luxurious and faster than q few years
ago. The 72-hollr run between Chicago
and the Pacific Northwest has been
gradually whitfield down to about 81
hours. The fastest train to California
now hurtles through in Sc hours.
Reduced fares, amounting virtually
to first, second and third class rates,
are being tried from Chicago TO Pacific
Coast points. One fare is good only in
coaches, another in tourist sleepers and
the third IN standard sleepers.
Excursion rates in and out Of COM
mercial centers are aimed at new pas
senger business and at getting the
public railroad minded" They have
proved successful, officials say.
Enter Bus Business.

motor bus business and even contem-
plate operating trucks. The Chicago &
Northwestern owns stock In a concern

PASADENA, Calf, January 16.--Al-
bert Einstein was pictured to the world
last night as the Moses Of the physi-
cists. DR.. Robert A. Millikan of the
California Institute of Technology drew
the picture in a Nationwide radio adj
dress.
Or Albert A. Nicholson led scientists
into a wilderness of doubt some half
century ago with his famous Nicholson
Morley experiment, which showed the
speed with which the earth moves
through space had no effect upon the
speed of light That showed accepted
laws of physics to be wrong.
Were in wilderness.
''For 20 years after this fact came
30 light" said Dr. Millikan, physicists
wandered in the wilderness in dis
heartening effort to make 1t seem rea-
sonable. Then Einstein called out to
us all:
"'Let us merely accept this as an
established experimental fact and pro-
coed to work out its inevitable conse-
Quences,' and he went at that task him.
self with an energy and a capacity
which very few people on earth possess.
"Thus was born the special theory of
relatively"
Eight distinguished adventures and
explorers into the mystery of all time
natures forces-broke bread together
last night in a banquet here to cele-
brate the delivery from the wilderness
and the progress of research The
speeches were broadcast over the CO.
lumbia network.
Guests at Dinner.
The guests were Einstein, Nicholson
and Millikan. all holders of Nobel
prizes, and william Wallace Campbell,
Walter S. Adams Charles E. ST. John,
Edwin p. Hubble and Richard Chace
Tolnan, who also have won fame IN
science
Einstein classified them IN his speech
To Nicholson he said:
began with this work when was only
q little youngster, hardly three feet high,
It was you who led the physicists into
new paths, and through your marvellous
experimental work paved the way for
the development Of the theory OF rela-
ttvity'
And to the others:
"Campbell's determination of the
bending of the rays Of light coming past
the sun; st. Johns determination of the
red shift of spectral lines due to the
surface of the sun; Adams determine
ton of the red shift in the light which
comes from the companion of Sirius
these provide the best support Of the
general theory of RELATIVELY"
Congratulates Others.
He then turned to Hubble, who has
explored into greater distances of the
universe than any other man, and con-
graduated him for discovery of red shift
In spectral lines Of spiral nebulae, which
give dynamic conception of the spatial
structure Of the universe
To Tolnan, the mathematician, he
turned with smiling credit for an orig
tnal and Illuminating conception Of the
universe.
Then 10 Millikan he expressed appre-
citation for his advanced work on coSmfc
rays and researches tending to prove
the corpuscular structure of radiant
energy, which many scientists regard as
key to the secret Of the construction
Of the universe.

THE RAIN HELPED | IN MANY WAYS
Made Business Good in the Stores and Was Relief
 to Birds
FINE DAYS NEAR HAND

The rain last night and this fores noon aided materially in getting snow and ice off the street, work at which the city has a large force of men engaged in all parts of the city. In addition, it created a de- mand for rubbers and umbrellas and loosened up the earth so that the starving birds had an opportunity to get full meal, something they have not had since the frozen weather set in. Although the winter was not severe, nevertheless, the birds had tough time of it, and many of them died for lack of food and shelter.
 The starlings managed to make out fairly well. They kept together during the day and night and in this way no doubt they fared better than they would have done if they had tried to exist alone. In some places the starlings were treated with much severity by property own CTS, who drove them out with all kinds of weapons, but to the credit of Waterbury it must be said that nothing of the sort was done, even though the city had it's share of them. After few weeks more, the birds will be independent of city dwellers, and those who considered their needs and gave them a few crumbs now and then will not regret

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE PLAN
 FOR ROCHESTER
Fourteen Manufacturers of That City Have Agreed and the New System Will Begin January 1, l933

Rochester, N. J., Feb 18-UP)- An unemployment benefit Cor insur- ance) plan was announced today by IA Rochester manufacturing and util- ity companies, on a schedule permit ting payments to unemployed em- ployes on and after January l, 1883.
 These are the companies which adopted the plan: Eastman Kodak Co.,; Brusch & Lomb Optical Co.,; Stromberg Carbon Telephone Mfg Co.,; Rochester Telephone corpora tion: Taylor Instrument Co.,; Con solidated Machine Tool; The Todd Co.,; Pfaulder Co.,; The Gleason works; Vogt Mfg Co.,; Cochrane By Co.,; Davenport Machine Tool Co.,; Yawman & Erbe Mfg Co.,; Sargent & Greenleaf, Inc. Other companies have the plan under favorable con- sideration.
 These companies employ 26,000 persons in normal times. They vary greatly in size, product and field Of distribution. One has approximately 45 employees: the largest, approxi- mately 13,0O0. So far as known here, they are the first group of companies in the city, under separate manage ment and control to draft and adopt an unemployment benefit plan.
 Under the Rochester unemploy- ment benefit plan, each company will accumulate it's unemployment benefit fund by setting aside up to two percent of its payroll annually, dependent upon it's experience and degree of stabilization, until the fund reaches a maximum equal to five an- nual appropriations.
 Thus in normal years, the entire expense would be borne by the com pany, there would be no contribu- tions from employees except that, under the plan, the companies re- serve the right to declare an emer- gency on a period of extended un- employment, and, during the emer- gency, have the fund supplemented by contributions of one percent from all officials and employees not re- tribute during the period an extra amount equal to that received from such employees.
 All employees with service of one year and over and receiving less than $50 a week will be eligible to receive unemployment benefits. The benefits will be 60 percent of the normal pay, with a maximum or $22.50 a week, the period of benefits varying from six weeks for em- ployes with one years service to 13 weeks for employees of five years service and over.
 Unemployment benefits are to be paid after two weeks unemployment. Benefits will be paid to part-time workers in case their earnings are less than they would receive in bene- fits if they were totally unemployed.
 An employe procuring temporary work outside still will be eligible for benefits, but in no case are his bene- fits and temporary earnings plus the benefits to exceed his normal earn ings prior to the layoff.

CHINATOWN WAS
 VERY PEACEFUL l IN N. Y. CITY
''There Ain't Going to Be No Tong War;" Says the Hip Sing Spokesman and Chinese Leader

New York, Feb. 18.-(UP).-All was quiet in Hong Kong under the .L" at Chatham Square to-day, the second day of the Chinese new year, and in the words of Frankie Wah. Hip Sing spokesman, there amt going to be no Tong war"
 Frankie. wearing polo coat and cap, talking out of the corner of his mouth, stood near the Bloody Angle" the corner of Mott and Pell streets, during yesterdays parade of the dragons to whom thousands of dollars were offerer as tribute 10 Tongmen and their families.
 He talked of Chinese, tongs, ban ana peels and perhaps cabbages and kings as the pungent smoke of burn ing incense was as good as sliced by the serenade marking the ap- proach of the dragons. That serenade was the symphony. of drums, cymbals and the spine chilling crunching of a chain dragged through a ragged street of tin.
 ''Every time Chinaman slips on a hnnana peel and falls to the street they call it a tong war. We anft
  business depression you know, and thore ain't going to be no tong war" he declared.
 . Wah discounted the oriental na- ture of the parade.
 "The flags were made on Sixth avenue. The man carrying the on Leong banner wore a wrist watch" he pointed out.
 Frankie ordered the banner car- rier to hold the banner higher.
 "OK" was the response.
 The money collected by the dragon will be used, according to the tong leaders, to care for sick tongmen and their families. Detec- tives, however, say it'll buy rice wine-and there's a Chinese new year drink for you-for the feasts which last until Saturday.
 That celebration, which will be watched by thousands of the 1n- uuisitive as it's resumed with a parade to-day, was the mecca for more American tourists from up- town New York yesterday.
 They're seeing the real thing, the real Chinatown explained to them by such orientals as the beautiful daughter of the master of one house on Pell street whose Sing Song voice droned her story, ended with an oriental bow.
 The story finished, the tourists passed on, the oriental maiden resumed her reading: A tabloid s story of the murder of Frank Mario, gangster.

 The order came from four police men, who carried revolvers.
 "Who are. you? Where d'you come from?" snapped the police.
 One admitted he was from the West. Another said he was from New York A third said: I'm from Chicago. no relation to Capone."
 The fourth said: Why, I'm a Yale student"
