Fat Teachers Not Jolly
Enough: Board Bars EN-

New York.-City school authorities
are opposed to fat teachers on esthetic,
physical, and psychological grounds.
The fat are not jolly, it's said.
! That is the substance of an expla-
nation Of its refusal to license over
weight teachers, presented by the board
aof examiners to state commissioner of
education, Frank Graves.
For ten years the board has been
refusing to license fat teachers. There
had been no formal protest until 1t
turned down Miss Rose Freistater.
She weighed 1872 pounds when she
took her examination in 1881. The
board gave her six months to reduce
to $50.
Miss Freistater made heroic efforts,
but In vain. Dieting and exercise took
off only 20 pounds. She did not get
her license. She appealed to Commits
sioner Graves.
The principal reason for it's act, the
board said in it's report, is that med
ical experiences indicates that mark
eddy overweight or underweight per-
sons have a relatively high mortality
rate, SO that hiring fat teachers would
deplete the pension fund.
Teachers should be acceptable n.y.
gienic models for their pupils" the re-
port continued, explaining its esthetic
opposition to fat people.

Cape Briton's History Is
of Interest to Canadians

Cape Breton has history as color
full as that Of any part of Canada. A
great part of the population claims de-
scent from the hardy Scottish pioneers
who came out to make homes for
themselves in this sea-girt island to-
wards the beginning of the late CEN
fury, says the Montreal Herald.
AS early as 1713, when the Treaty
of Utrecht gave Newfoundland definite
ly to England, one finds French settlers
coming from there to Cape Breton.
The romantic story of the efforts Of
France to hold the place-called by
them lie Royale-and of their building
the great Dunkirk of America-Louis-
bourg-is unique in the history of
French colonization.
At the time of the fall of Canada the
island was an important subject of
debate In the settling Of peace terms,
for France was loath to give 1t up. The
Treaty of Paris finally coded Cape
Breton to the British.
Officers and soldiers who had fought
In the war were given grants of land
as a reward for their services. but Cape
Breton was considered too valuable
an asset to be disposed of at once.

DIVER WILL HUNT
LA SALES VESSEL
Hulk ike Michigan May Be
Mystery Craft.

Menominee, Mich.-Efforts to iden-
tify the water-soaked hulk in Les
,Cheneaux island waters, believed to
be that of the Chiffon, first sailing ship,
to ply the Great Lakes which mystic
riously disappeared in 1879, will be re-
sumed this summer.
John Beattie, veteran diver of De
Tour, Mich, has offered his services
free in an attempt to learn more of
the Chiffon, built by the French ex-
plorer LaSalle 256 years ago.
The ship last was seen at the site of
the present Detroit harbor, Washing
ton island, Green bay, where it was
loaded with valuable furs. LaSalle
sent the ship on its return voyage un-
der the command of Luc, a sailor. The
explorer remained to probe into the
secrets of the strange" surrounding
country.
In letters to friends after the ship
was never seen again, LaSalle ex-
pressed the belief that Luc betrayed
him, stole the furs, and scuttled and
burned the ship Some historians,
however, believe the ship sank in q
storm, carrying all hands down with it.
Efforts to raise the hulk in Les
Chenaux waters were abandoned In
the winter of 1933-34 because of finan-
,cial difficulties. 1t was found that a
large hole had been made in the bot
tom near the stern and that the upper
part of the craft had been burned.

Various Uses for Raisin
Seed; Oil Is in Demand

The magazine Food Industries says
the by-product of seeded raisins is
sprayed back on the skins In the form
of fine oil. This prevents the seeded
raisins from sticking together or TO
their packages, and enhances their ap
pearance
From 1000 to 1000 tons of raisin
seeds are accumulated annually from
the 100000 tons of raisins sold each
year in the United States. When the
seeds are extracted from the raisins,
some of the pulp, or meat of the frnit,
naturally clings to them. From this,
by diverse means, comes:
II to IA per cent of grape sugar.
Alcohol from that.
191-proof brandy and sweet wines
from the latter.
Is per cent of oil from the seeds
after they are crushed dried and
cured.
Raisin oil is also used as salad oil
lit blends readily with olive OILY; for
frying doughnuts and potato chips
because of its non-greasy flavor; in
the paint industry, particularly on
canvas; for awnings and airplane
wings, because of its slow-drying and
high-spreading qualities and, finally, in
lubricants.
To top everything off, the residue
from the crushing process is utilized
in stock feed, as fertilizer and as a
fuel.

with which to fend off the sabre
t0othed tiger and of great assistance

The stick persisted through Biblical
times, prophets being generally pie

way into the wilderness.
Kings and dandies had their sticks,
