SCHOOLS TO OPEN
HERE TOMORROW
Nearly 100000 Pupils Will
End VacationS-54 New
Teachers Added.

Tomorrow is the day Washington
parents begin to collect dividends on
the checks they sent the collector of
taxes and nearly 100000 children stop
annoying their parents and go back
to school.
The people with the most children
IN school are, of course, those who
will make the most money out Of the
Government, while the childless fam
lilies again will be the losers.
According to r. w. Holt, chief ac-
countant for the school system, educa-
tion in the various school levels is
worth the following amouts: Teachers
college. $25036; senior high school,
$113.84; junior high, $85; elementary
school, $61.44; vocational schools,
$l13.10; vacation schools and night
schools, $666.
Compared with last years rates,
teachers colleges, senior highs, junior
highs and night schools are down S2.13,
81 cents, 1882 and IS cents, respec-
lively, while elementary, vocational
and vacation schools are up $161,
$3.50 and A cents, respectively.
So Cents Per Pupil.
These figures, which include tuition,
text books, supplies and administrative
costs, were computed for those pupils
entering school who are not entitled
to free tuition.
The administrative cost, represented
by DR.. Frank w. Ballou and his staff
and the School Board secretary's Of
nee, is computed by Holt to 50 cents
per pupil.
Those not entitled to free tuition
include nonresident children whose
parents are not employed in the Dis
trict, and under a board ruling non
resident children whose guardian may
be employed here.
Meanwhile, the entire school sys-
tenn has been humming with activity
Tor several days, getting ready for the
opening tomorrow Teachers and
principals have been back since Fri
day, 81 new teachers having been
added to the 3,o33 of last year.
Telephone Operators Busy.
At Franklin Administration Build
ing telephone operators have worked
overtime answering parental queries
and handling the calls from the va
rious schools.
At the Thomson school the Board
| OF Admissions has studied the Gre
dentials Of nearly 800 applicants for
the high schools here. Miss Grace
Holmes, secretary of the board, said
760 had been approved of which about
200 were non-residents The latter
group will be absorbed by Western,
Wilson, Roosevelt and Central Senior
High Schools and Deal and Gordon
Junior Highs, she said.
Miss Holmes added that nearly
every State in the Union was repre-
sented, with the exception, among the
nearby areas, OF Delaware. Europe
and the Canal Zone also were repre-
sented
No prediction as to the expected
enrolment was hazarded by the statis-
tician's ONCE.
Although there is nearly always
some increase, and in some years it
has been quite large, the small rise
during the last year over the previous
year made 1t problematical whether
the enrolment graph would fall Oh
& take . sharp rise.

VANDENbERG ASKS
&c. 0.P. COALITION
Opens Party Gates to "Sym.
pathetic" Group RaIIying
Under Republican Banner.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BAY CITY, Mich, September 18.-
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, Re-
publican, of Michigan opened the
gates Of his party to . Sympathetic"
coalition under Republican standards
tonight in addressing widely en-
thusiastic audience of 1000 grass
roots" constituents.
An ovation greeted his appearance
in conclusion Of Statewide rally,
and applause punctuated his Oft
repeated challenge that I'VE have just
begun to tight" for constitutionalism.
The Senator's address was broadcast
over national radio network.
Senator Vandenberg departed from
his text three times, once in yelled
comment on President Roosevelt's Sc
lection Of Supreme Court justice
and twice in reply to the Executive,
own Constitution day address in Wash.
ington last night.
No Direct Reference 70 Black.
The speaker did not refer directly
to the Presidents appointment OF
Senator Hugo L. Black of Alabama
to the high court.
He did say that the Constitution
will continue to live only If the men
named to the Supreme Court remain
absolutely above reproach."
Vandenberg endeavored to turn back
against the President his own plea
for q "layman's Constitution" rather
than q lawyers contract"
Though this administration OBJ
serves the letter Of the CONSTITUTIONS
mandate, in a lawyers sense, as the
President would say, it wrecks its
spirit-in the layman's sense, as the
President would say-when it places a
lump sum at the Presidents disposal" "
the Michigan Republican said.
THAT is not American democracy"
Time for Amendment.
"The President indicated that it
took 20 years to get constitutional
amendment" Senator Vandenberg
said. He neglected to say that every
amendment that has come in came
in within a year."
He said failure of the states to
ratify child labor amendment, also
mentioned in the Presidents talk, re-
suited from a widespread fear that
the amendment would open the door
not only to regulation of children IN
industry but children in religion,
children in education, and even chill
dren in the home"
The Senator told of his own ac-
tivities in preparing a substitute
amendment, and promised ratification

Roosevelt Hears Wang Plea.

BY the Associated Press.
China carried directly to President
Roosevelt yesterday its protest against
the Chief Executives order placing q
partial embargo on shipments of arms
and munitions to the Far Eastern
war zone.
An official White House statement
said Ambassador c. T. Wang had
discussed" with the President the
possible damaging effect of the re-
striction on China's conduct of its un-
declared war with Japan. There was
no indication of any presidential in
tention to recede from his order.
Roosevelt Sees Hull, Wilson.
Still another aspect of the Sino-
Japanese conflict apparently was stud
led by Mr.. Roosevelt during a visit to
the White House by Secretary Hull,
accompanied ~ Hugh Wilson, As
sistant Secretary of State, who is the
State Departments League of Nations
| expert.
Hulls call on the President, which
| followed closely that of the Chinese
Ambassador, gave rise to reports that
the Chief Executive and his principal
| diplomatic adviser had talked over the
possibility of United States participa-
ton in deliberations of the League OF
Nations Advisory Committee which
will consider the Far Eastern crisis.
The United States was q consulta-
| tive member of this committee when
| 1t functioned during the Sino-Japa-
nese conflict over Manchuria.
Official Bid Unreceived.
Ohcial comment was withheld on
the nature of Hull's visit however.
State Department officials would say
only that the official invitation from
the League had not yet been received.
DR.. Wang was closeted with Pres
ident Roosevelt in the latter's tudy
in the Executive Mansion for almost
half an hour.
Wang refused firmly to make any
statement, referring all inquiries to
the White House. Presidential aides
explained that the Ambassador was
actuated by desire to take his
governments complaint to the highest
possible off1cial source.
Whether he formally appealed to
the President to override Secretary
Hulrs direct rejection Of his protest
yesterday was not generally known.
Authoritative quarters said, however,
there was little likelihood that Pres
ident Roosevelt would recede from his
original order.

force United States guards who have
patrolled section of the International
Settlement without relief since the
Sino-Japanese conflict broke out in
Shanghai five weeks ago.
The new reinforcements, members

Diego.
Passes Safely Through Fire.
Conveyed by the light cruiser Mar
blehead, the transport passed safely
through Sino-Japanese artillery and
naval gunf1re below Woosung in the
early morning, unscathed by the
spirited exchange Of shells.
Huge American flags whipped from
her masts as warning to both
belligerents not to flre on the Amer
ican craft ~ the Chaumont cautiously
picked her precarious way up ths
warship- dotted river.
The United States minesweeper
Finch, dispatched from Shanghai,
hurriedly took 125 anti-Aircraft hkht-
ers or the transport with their So
caliber guns and proceeded immedi-
ately to Shanghai to land an Ameri-
can anti-aircraft company on Chinese
soil for the first time in history.
Ships Part 1T Woosung.
The Marblehead stuck close to the
transport through forest of Japanese
warships until reaching Woosung,
where the ships parted and the Chau-
mont made her way unattended to
Shanghai.
The early morning gunplay gave
many Of the Marines their first bap-
tism Of fire, for included in the rein
forcements were 80 rookie second
lieutenants too young to have served
in the World War or the Nicaraguan
campaign.
The Chaumont tied up between the
French and Italian flagships while
Japanese planes maneuvered above
Pootung across the river
The sun-tanned Marines landed to
great ovation from crowds lining
the Bund, Shanghai's famous water
front thoroughfare, and were trans
ported by motor truck to the new

In the North country it may mean frOstbite.'
Jerry sensed that Betty was regarding him
with evident disapproval. His distaste for
Mr.. McHale was rapidly becoming an active
hate.
Before he could frame fitting or in fact
any, reply to this admonition Mr.. McHale
shouldered the pack that lay at his feet. On
the back of this pack were attached small
spade, an axe, frying pan and various other
items of hardware unknown to Jerry. He
also had large murderous looking knife in
sheath on his belt This knife was later to
become an object of horrible fascination and
temptation to Jerry.
Seeing that Mr. McIIale had slung on his
pack the rest of Natures Friends Immediately
proceeded to do likewise.
May not carry your luggage for you?"
Jerry inquired of Betty.
No On the trail every one carries his own
pack Except in case of an accident" he was
informed with just trace of annoyance.
Jerry had feeling that he would be the
first casualty.
Mr. McHale, having adjusted his pack to
his liking, started at rapid pace across Van
Cortlandt Park The rest of the band fol-
lowed in his path.
Jerry fell in alongside of Betty.
Where are we going?" he asked her with
some trepdation. Jerry definitely knew now
that all was not we'll
oh Not far" was the reassuring reply.
Just over to the Bronx River Parkway and
then up to Tuckahoe."
This sounded somewhat terrifying to Jerry.
About how far is it," he ventured
"Oh. Only twelve miles"
"Only twelve miles," gasped Jerry "Only
twelve miles, That al?"
Don't be disappointed" Betty consoled
him. Then we stop for chow and rest. After
that we cut across country to a place called
Ardsley and back home along the Hudson
River"

Are you all taking this little stroll?'
Jerry asked hopefully.
mo. Some are going right up to White
Plains and back by another route in the morn
ing. You could go along with them if you
want"
Jerry now knew that disaster was not
impending - it had fallen.
There was no opportunity for further con-
versation. The real business of being a
Natures Friend had commenced. They were
hitting the trail in earnest. Jerry walked on
next 10 Bet. ". MS hoping for the best,
mean~ nlie, prepari.-. a tnt worst.
Once the Bronx River Parkway was reA>.ied
things began to improve little, for Jerry.
While Mr.. McHale walked more quickly he
also stopped more frequently.
Ever and anon he would halt and stare
intently at the ground or some tree or shrub
that merited his attention. Then again some
bird, either on the wing or perched on bough
attracted him.
When this happened, Natures Friends
would gather about him and listen intently and
Jerry always spent these intervals on the
nearest bench. True, he missed discourses on
bark phenomena and the. habits of our
feathered friends and valuable information
anent the customs and habits of some doodle
bug But. at this stage Jerry would gladly
have foregone hope of heaven itself for the
chance to sit down for one half hour.
Now hunger as we'll as fatigue began to.
assail Jerry. His breakfasts were usually more
bracing than nutritive.
At the next halt he sidled up to Betty.
Gould not we get cab and 60 some place
for lunch, he suggested.
Betty looked at him in open amazement.
What? Drop off the trail?" she asked in
horror stricken tones. Don't you know that
no Natures Friend ever drops out?"
Jerry did not know it. All that he knew was
that he was hungry and tired and his feet'
hurt Above all things his feet hurt Those new
shoes, as he now realized were a tactical error.

a group of rather odd looking people, COL
lected at the foot of the subway stairs. He
wondered if they could be Mature Friends
, Upon further scrutiny 4 vague sense of
impending evil came over him They all
seemed so strangely dressed and they all wore
such intent, eager expressions,
This vague feeling of i'll became a definite
prenontion of disaster as he recognized
Betty North in the center of the group. She
was attired, as was the rest Of the band -
both male and female Of their kind - in khaki
breeches, flannel shirt and high-laced boots.
She was holding the arm OF tall, gaunt man

Jerry assumed, and rightly, that this was
Mr.. Albert McHale, Trail Master. He i'm
mediately experienced feeling of marked
distaste towards Mr.. McHale.
There was also miscellaneous collection
of peculiar looking baggage lying around
that did nothing to reassure Jerry
His first impulse was to thrust his way
through the assorted collection of Natures
Friends" and claim Betty. His next impulse
was to quietly re-enter his taxi and HE HIM
self away before some evil fate befell him.
However, before he could do either of these
things Betty espied him.
Her manner of greeting seemed strange
to Jerry. She held one hand, palm outward
towards him and calculated, "How

walked over to her and politely removed his
hat.
Good morning, Betty" he commenced. Il

"Never do that" A harsh, rasping voice
interrupted him.
Jerry looked up in surprise. Had ne mad
vertently been guilty of some Nature Friends
faux pas.
