Miss Faunce was one down at
the turn but putted much better
on the inward journey. She
brought the match all even at
the tenth and went into a lead
on the thirteenth, increased it on
the fourteenth and when she took
the short sixteenth in par three,
won a very deserving victory.
Mrs. Pray had a one-hole ad-
vantage over Mrs. Mackenzie at
the turn.
She increased this to two on the
tenth, three on the thirteenth but
lost on the fourteenth only to win
the fifteenth to make the match
dormie. When they halved the
sixteenth in threes the match was
over.
Mrs. Mackenzie lost a number
of golden opportunities and she
putted badly on most of the
greens. She took a total of 10
puts on the fourth, fifth and
sixth green's. Although Mrs. Scott
consistently outdrove Miss Faunce.
the former slipped badly in the
incoming jorney. Miss Faunce, on
the other hand, putted timidly on
the outgoing nine but boldly on
the inward trip with the result
that coming in she had several
one-putt greens.

 tained throughout the United the various states and communl- ties to furnish such a minimum standard iH by no means equal Their figures show, for instance, that New York state has the po- tential ability to spend eight times ss much for education as Missis. sippi, with no greater proportional train on the taxpayer.
 Yet 1t is certainly undemocratic and contrary to the American spirit to allow one set of children to begin life better than a set of youngsters from another section. The proponents of federal aid argue that the federal government should insure a certain minimum standard, and then allow any com munitles that wish to do 50 to bct- ter that standard.
 WARNS OF CRISIS
 The federal aid grants proposed at present do not Imply any federal control over the kind of education supplied. They merely provide distributing the cash to the states, with the understanding that 1t be used by each state as It's educational authorities deem most effective.
 Jessie Gray, practical Philadel- phia classroom teacher who Is president of the National Educa- ton Association, says what really Is the last work in the present crisis of our school:
 "Racketeers are costing five and half times the cost of the public schools of the nation. With schools. libraries, recreation cen- ters and night schools closed, we are courting disaster for our nation.
 we must give these facts their significance now, or pay for IL later. It is no idle threat that what we SOW, we shall reap"

 AND HAS DIED

Washington, Teb, 15--(UP)-- william E. Humphrey, 7l, of Seat tle, deposed as federal trade. com sioner late last year, died suddenly last night, Although he had been in poor health all winter, Hum phrey's condition had not been considered alarming. He was stricken with cerebral hemorr- haze.
 Twenty years ago he was elected to Congress and served two terms as representative at large from Washington. In 1925, he was ap- pointed to the federal trade com mission by President Coolidge. After q six-year term he was reap pointed by President Hoover. He was removed by an executive order of President Roosevelt, issued after protracted correspondence in which Humphrey questioned the executives power.

 The 25,O00 police, soldiers and Heimwehr men had been in action, for more than 72 hours, and it had been hoped the volunteers could relieve many of them.
 These volunteers were a vital part of the governments defense, as socialists in the city outnum- bered the government forces and in the provinces some whole towns were socialist. Police there were helpless and 1t was necessity for hem to await military aid when- ever there was an outbreak.
 The government combatted so- cialism in small towns by seeking to overade local authorities and supplant them with direetorates' from the governmental Christian socialist party. This was done in scores of towns. It outlawed all trades unions also and dismissed thousands of socialist school teach CTS.
 Twenty-three churches were con- secrated under the Church of Eng land last year.

 'If l don't grant bail, l am de- nying the petitioner the right of appeal,"the justice said. That wouldn't be justice"
 As a condition to the release, there was a stipulation between MacCracken and Jurney that, if the appellate courts denied the ap- peal and ordered him to go to jail, MacCracken would surrender at once.

The Office of Education in the Interior Department already has taken some steps toward federal aid in the school crisis The Pub lie Works Administration has of- fcred to give 30 per cent and loan 70 per cent of the cost of new school buildings, but only about | $35, 900, 1000 had been allotted up to the first of the year.
 Many communities felt that the expense of building according to the PWA's specifications waa greater than the cost of building for themselves on their own plans. MANY TEACHERS HELPED
 The Federal Emergency Relief Administration is spending two millions Q month to give employ ment to otherwise unemployed teachers, and nearly 10000 of them owe their present employ ment to this agency. They're teaching Tn rural schools which ran out of funds instruct- Ing adults along vocational lines, and running nursery schools for children of unemployed.
 There are plans on foot to conn pine instruction with Bucn WOrk as Is being done by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Soon teacher will be attached to each of the 1,466 camps under the name of "educational advisor" with broad discretionary power to develop within the camp any kind of library, recreatlonal facilities, dis cussion groups, and practical training that he can devise with little facilities.

Washington, February 15 - Even before the organized drive on congress for federal aid to the schools gets under way, several congressmen have realized the gravity of the situation and have presented bills for school relief which are pending.
 Matthew A. Dunn, the blind ex- newsboy representative from Pitts- burgh, has bill which would ap- propriate money to pay all back salaries of school teachers.
 Representative Fletcher B . Swank, who used to be @ school superintendent in the old Indian Territory and has two sons Of school age, has a bill to pay such back salaries and also to provide funds to maintain schools on their former basis.
 Representative D. D. Glover of Arkansas, who was himself a school teacher for 10 years, has a similar bill authorizing an REC loan to communities to pay those back salaries.
 And Senator Walter Franklin George of Georgia has bill which would provide $3,750,000 a year from the federal treasury for pro- noting vocational education, espe- cially along agricultural and me- chanical lines.
 PROMPT ACTION SEEN
 So congress has not been entire 1y overlooking the school situation, and 1t Is expected that the united plan of the committee for emer- gency aid will get prompt action.
 Among other organizations, tho American Legion has done some trail-blazing here, too. Through It's national Amerlcanization com mission, of which Russell Cook is director, the Legion has under way plan for each post to name committee to cooperate with local school boards and other cfool-minded organizations.
 For posts which do good work in aiding their local school systems, the National Education Association has devised a citation which will be bestowed on those posts as a mark of appreciation for their efforts.
 LEGION JOINS FIGHT
 The Legion, which adopted at it's Chicago convention q resolu- ton stating that education should not be made to bear major port of the sacrifices for economy" has decided to fight for the schools under the slogan, "The security and perpetuity of this nation de- ponds on the patriotic education of its youth"

 Seven roll calls were taken by the senate before it's doors were opened and 6 decision announced.
 Debate in the secret session was
 bitter. Several senators, including Borah of Idaho, contendcd the sem ate had no constitutional authority
 to punish MacCrackcn and the
 three clients he represented as an
 air mail attorney. Under rules of procedure, the | senate agred to publish results of all votes taken in closed session. They were: on motion by Senator White, | republican, Maine, to refer Mac | Cracken's case to the federal l courts: yeas, 22; nays, 62. MaeCracken: Guilty, 84 not guilty, 20.

 taken by Jurney to separate rooms

 So from now until the 23rd any Waterbury school children who wish to contribute c penny to the Warm Springs Foundation fund can do 50. The donation will be purely voluntary.
 As for the youngster who sug- gested the plan, he's to remain anonymous at the request of his principal, who doesn't believe any special credit should go to an inc dividual pupil or school fin a such q city-Wide activity.
 Even though he remains un- known to the general public the lad who worte to Superintendent Condon can rest assured that those who have already heard of the plan are giving high praise to his initiative.

Havana, Feb 15 = (UP)--A crowd of 25,000, the biggest in years, remembered the Maine to- day.
 It was on Feb 14, 1898, that the battleship was blown up with the loss of e6e lives. Then came the Spanish American war and the freeing of Cuba from Spanish rule. President Carlos Mendieta and Jefferson Caffery, United Statet ambassador, spoke feelingly of the ties between the two countries cre- ated by the Maine disaster.
 After a third of century, a new policy, that of good neighbors, has come to strengthen old bonds'' Mendieta said.
 Caffery voiced hope for future relations "based on mutual under- standing of each others needs, mus tual respect and Q sense of respon- sibility."
 Cuban and American patriotic societies placed wreaths on the monument and there was . review of army, navy, police and firemeh's units. Army planes, fnaneuvering overhead. frightened the crowd by coming close over their heads.
