What the
Scholarship
Includes:

The total value of The Times scholarship to
Staunton Military Academy is more than $4,000.
1t includes all tuition, room and meals, uni
forms and equipment, books /. {. . everything ex-
cept transportation to and from the school and
as haircuts, shoe shines, pressing and an occa-
sonal movie. Since all uniforms are furnished,
the amount of money required will probably
be less than the expenses of attending school
at home.

wanted to return to France, Queen Salima Machimba readily gave over her possession to the French government for an annual income of 5000 francs a year. This was in 1899. A few years later it was in- creased to 1000 and in 1914 it was raised to 5000 francs.
 Seeks Aid
 Would 1t not be worthy of the dignity of the French Republic to aid this former sovereign, who in- herited her succession and gave fl up for love of a Frenchman and France?" asked the deputy amidst great applause.
 At this point in the debate, M. Louis Rollin, minister of colonies, jumped to his feet and declared that he would not have it thought that France had deprived this wo- man of her scepter.
 'The government" explained M. Rollin, "already is showing all the solicitude that has been demanded by M. Valensi. To be sure, 5000 francs a year is not much, but did the queen during her reign enjoy a greater income? In any event, steps already are being taken to ameliorate her financial condition by adding to her pension from the funds allotted to Madagascar and instructions already have been given to increase her income to 10000 francs"

HONOR GAINED
 AFTER 100 YEARS
Patience Most Essential to Become Dean in
 Profession
BY WAVERLEY LEWIS ROOT United Press Staff Correspondent

| United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris-UP)--If you want to be the dean of your profession in France, you have to wait some thing like century for the honor.
 That was what French re- porter found out when he started 1 to hunt for the oldest members of various occupational groups. Most of them come pretty close to 100 years in age, and some of them still are active.
 Oldest member of the nobility seems to be the Count de Cour- ten, who lives in Nancy, where he expects to celebrate his tooth you, if you care to listen, of his participation in the battle of Men" tana, Nov. 3, 1887, when he was in the pontifical army.
 Oldest Midwife
 Frances oldest midwife-Mme. Rudelin of La Rochelle-also will reach 100 this year, and so will the dean of fishermen, Breton, Guillaume Cariou, of Tudy Island, who takes his boat out into the swirling currents of Brittany's rocky coast almost daily.
 The oldest priest in France seems to be Abbe Ardoin, 96. who celebrates mass in the Cathedral of Toulon each morning. The dean of journalists is a woman. Name. Juliette Adam, 9S.
 Military Men
 Military and naval men neces- sarily are retired at these ad- vanced ages, but the oldest officers of the land and sea branches of the service are both hale and hearty. General Bernard lis seyre, 97, lives in his birthplace, Sournia in the Pyrenees, and thinks nothing of occasionally walking up a mountainside. Ad- miral Bellanger Is 97, and none the worse for the three wounds he received in 1870. In his long career, the incident he likes best to recall came under his observa- ton during his campaign in China in 1874, when, on December 8, he observed the transit of Venus across the sun,

Late Tax Payments Largely Enrich City's Treasury

Tax Collector William A. Ennis. On April 10th the payments amounted to $1,194.32; on April Is. $6S2.04; on April 22, $1,674.O3: on April 23. $7707.61; on April 24, $24,4O3.90; on April 25th, $24,909.47.
 In other words. the tax collector has received $52,556.O7 in the past two days. In the bill killed in the senate, all of the voters excepting Senator Culhane voted against 1t. A big fight centered around the bill with mayors and tax collectors from all parts of the state banding against it. The spokesmen for the officials pointed out that while the bill had certain features that would create an increased revenue, the increase would last but for short time. and then the revenue would drop off.
 The bill is definitely killed as the result of the senate's action, and 1t cannot be brought up again for consideration. The action of the senate has created sort of boom in the payment of back taxes and the amounts being paid daily are far in excess of the usual payments made in this off season. Ali of the payments are being made on the 1894 list.

Bride Gave Island Domain to French Government;

By REYNOLDS PACKARD United Press Staff Correspondent

Paris (UP)-The distress of q native queen, who married a. French gendarme and then handed over her island domain of 30 square miles to France, has been called to the attention of the Chamber of Deputies.
 The story of how the dusky Queen Salima Machimba, ruler of Mohilla, smallest island of the Co., moro group in the Mozambique Channel, now is living in poverty in France so as to be with her husband was related by Deputy Theodore Valensi, of the Haute- Saone.
 Native Royalty M. Valensi declared that the queen was descended from native royalty and was closely related to Queen Ranavalona III, last of the rulers of Madagascar. He said that as a young girl she made a visit to Reunion where a French gendarme. Jean Paul, was sta- toned at the time. She fell in love with him and they were married.

Bones, Bones and More Bones--B But FewFacts

Rolling bones, lazy bones and the famous Mother Hub- bard bone was brought into the discussion of q civil action before Judge P. B. O'Sullivan in superior court today. It was the case of Vincent Deschino against Mary II. Lord that was being discussed. Attorney John IT. Cassidy, counsel for the de- fendant had filed a motion motion asking that the plain tiff make more specific his al- legations.
 The complaint, MT Cassidy said, charges the plaintiff was injured when he tripped over some bones that were left ly- ing on the stairs on the de- fendant's property and was in- jured when he fell. MT Cas- sidy wanted to know more about the bones, he said. He wanted to know whether the bones were chicken bones, fish bones, rolling bones, lazy bones or one of the bones of Mother Hubbard's pantry.
 "In fact" continued the at- torney, "I almost feel that I should begin my argument by addressing the court as Good evening, Bones ."
 He said, seriously, that he wanted to know whether the plaintiff charges that the de- fendant left the bones lying on the stairs or whether the dogs, mentioned in the complaint, were to blame.
 Attorney Hugh Guastaferri, representing the plaintiff, in answering the statements of his brother attorney said, "Well, MT Cassidy, it may not be so funny later on." He told the court he believed the com plaint contained all of the in- formation sought by MT Cas- sidy. Judge O'Sullivan reserved decision.

The reaction to the defeat of the so-called Culhane bill in the state senate this week that provided for abatement of all interest and lien lees on back taxes, is noted in the decided squirt in the receipts of tax collections in the past two days.
 Taxpayers Delinquent
