Intelligent Driving
william B. Elwell, head Of the
English department, announced
during the past week that he had
completed plans for q course Of
eight lessons In safety, based on
Intelligent Driving" This outline is
to be presented to all junior English

drive competently and safely.
. In teaching this course Crosby is
cooperating with other schools in
the state. Booklets are given out
for the courses by the state depart
ment of motor vehicles. Another of
the titles of booklets distributed is

half of the accidents can usually be
avoided by people knowing how to

CHECK is SUBMITTED
FOR RENTAL OF CANAL
Treasury Makes Annual Payment
Of $25O,OOO-Panama Demanded
Gold Last Year.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury has submitted its an
nual check for S250,000 to the State
Department for transmission to the
Republic of Panama for rental of the
canal and other properties.
The Panama Republic last year re-
fused similar check, demanding pay
ment in gold instead of the dollars into
which the checks could be cashed.
This request in turn, was refused by
this Government.
The Panama government has re-
fused since 1884 to accept the annual
American rental payment on the
ground that it was not made in gold
in amounts represented by the dollar
prior to the reduction in its gold
weight.
This issue is one of the points up
for settlement in negotiations for a
new treaty which today were believed
to be nearing final conclusion.

With the departure of James Nc

Champion Cosmos gridders' roster
Stancil's fine record on last years
second team had prompted form
err Coach Hal Shields to recon-
mend his advancement to the first
team this year.
When Floyd Stocums, who sue
ceeded Shields in the coaching posi-
ton, however, reviewed the records
of the various gridders,, it was
discovered that Stancil's scholastic
average was below the required
mark, as a result of which the
star was automatically dropped
from the team.
Stocums told the local Tribune
reporter last week that he was per-
picked to find another end this
year, with Stancil's calibre.
