OUSTED SCHOOL
HEAD LAUNCHES
FIGHT ON BOARD
DR.. Smith Says Facts
Are Suppressed

Fighting back at the Board of
Public Welfare, DR.. Carrie Weaver
Smith, dismissed by the District
Commissioners yesterday as super
intendent Of the National Train
ing School for Girls, today de-
clared that she is anxious to tell
the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth"
DR.. Smith, who had previously
been dismissed from two other
schools before she was appointed
in 1885 to the school here, on
recommendation of officials of the
Children's Bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor, admitted that there
has been immortality in the school.
CONFIDENCE LACKING
She contended this condition is
to be found in any institution,
and asserted that the Board of
Public Welfare had refused to take
her into its confidence in attempt
ing to solve the problems.
The board had suppressed facts,
she declared, and said that she
intends demanding a thorough
investigation Of the Capitals sys-
tenn of juvenile correction methods.
SOUGHT VOCATIONAL AID
Her aim, when she went to the
school, she said, was to make it
less of a Jail and to establish a
vocati Naal education program. but
she was not supported in this.
The board recommended DR..
Smiths discharge after she had
refused to resign following an in
vestigation of recent riots and
other troubles at the school.

Maybe There's Something
to Scotch Way After All

Minneapolis, MINI. - Maybe
there's something in the thrifty
habits of the old Scotchman
after all, at least in the case of
soap. A little soap and lots of
water makes a weak solution,
is better than a strong soap So
luton for washing away dirt.
In the American Chemical So
ciety's Fourteenth Annual Colloid
Symposium held at the University
of Minnesota here scientists were
at last able to explain why.
Studies of Prof. Ernst A. Hauser,
H. E. Edgerton and w. B. Tucker of
Massachusetts, Institute of Technol-
ogy with a high speed camera
showed that the basis of the better
cleaning was the formation of drops
of a liquid and the accompanying
phenomenon of surface tension. In
genious silhouette pictures of falling
drops were shown by the NIT scien-
lists which reveal knowledge having
applications in dyeing, tanning and
other practical matters beside the
washing behavior of soap in solu-
ton.

Ventilating Experts
Seek Way to Ban
Odors From Rooms

Swampscott, Mass. = Engi-
neers may discuss ventilating
and air conditioning and use
their layman-baffling "cfm's"
to describe the flow of air, but
what most people want to know
is what to- do about odors when
they think of ventilating.
In the meeting of the American
Society of Heating and Ventilating
Engineers here, two scientists from
Harvard's school of public health
disclosed their studies about odor
removal from rooms and audi
forums.
Prof. c. P. Yaglou and w. N.
Witheridge showed that there is a
characteristic human smell which
can be detected in room after
the occupants have left it. This
human odor is apparently highly
complex, unstable and rapidly
breaks down, but there is a certain
minimum amount of the odor left
in room which will last for days
until it is thoroughly ventilated. The
findings show that where numbers
of people gather large rooms should
be used, for great size acts as a
sort of reservoir of odor which al
lows the initial decrease in intensity
of odor to occur harmlessly.
Sharply in contrast, they report
ed, is the characteristic of tobacco
smoke which becomes more noxious
with time up to periods of three
hours after active smoking has
ceased. The rise in odor intensity
of tobacco smoke is more offensive
than the odor of fresh smoke.
1t would thus appear, state the
Harvard scientists, that smoking
rooms should be small with very
rapid ventilation for the best re-
suits.

M YRIADS of gay little print
AFA frocks vending their way
schoolward is the picture fashion is
flashing on the screen for fall. There
is really no danger of overriding
the print collection for little daugh-

of textures and design in the realm
of washable prints this season
mothers can assemble a wardrobe
of prints ranging from playtime
and classroom frocks to pretty-pret-
ty party dresses, and then not have
too many for occasions that may

The thing that intrigues the little
folks in regard to prints is that
many of the incest, prettiest prints
have been especially designed for
them with pictorial motifs that
make direct appeal to childhood.
Not only are the patterns charm
ing to behold but they are in many
instances instructive and entertain

there are prints with the letters

Goose figures too, and boats and
ships and birds and animals, fruits
and flowers done in way to cap

The washable prints developed
this season are unique and lovely.
It's a series of perfectly charming
prints that we have in mind-ar-

of which have been adapted to cot

CATTLE KINGDOM
SYNOPSIS

Billy Wheeler, wealthy young cattleman,
arrives at the "a ranch, summoned by his
friend Horse Dunn, its elderly and quick
tempered owner, because of mysterious
murder. Billy is in love with Dunns niece
Marian, whom he has not seen for two
years. She had rejected his suit and is still
aloof. Dunns ranch is surrounded by ene-
miles, including Link Bender. Pinto Halliday
and Sam Caldwell, whom he has defeated in
his efforts to build a cattle kingdom. Dunn
directs his COW hands, Val Douglas, Tulare
Callahan and others to search for the killers
horse. He explains to Billy that the morn
ing before he had come upon bloodstained
ground at Short Creek and found the trail of
n shod and unshod horse. The shod horses
rider had been killed. The body had dis
appeared and no one was reported missing.
Link Bender had arrived at the scene and
read the signs the way he had. Dunn re-
yeals that because of a financial crisis the
ranch may be in jeopardy; his enemies may
make trouble since Sheriff Walt Amos is
friendly with them. He says he has asked
Old Man Coffee, the country's best trailer, to
Join them. Dunn and Billy meet Amos, Link
Bender, his son 1.-The Kid and Cayuse
Cayetano, an Indian trailer, at Short Creek.
Bender has found the slain mans horse, but
the saddle is missing. Almost supernatur-
ally, cattle attracted to the scene by the
blood-stained ground, stamp out all the
traces.

proof horse, for the reins hung slack
on its neck, but it stood. Bender's
left hand gripped his right arm;
he swayed slightly, but recovered
himself, and the color slowly began
to come back into his face.
Sheriff Amos brought his hand
empty away from the gun-butt to
which it had dropped, and let both
hands be seen in plain sight upon
his reins. His face was discolored
by a red flush. 'You all right,
Link?"
Link Bender said between set
teeth, Good enough"
"You go on home," Walt Amos
said to Dunn. 81 can't take you in
for this because can't prove you
were first to draw. But
Dunn said, "You know damn well
who was first to draw!"
maybe l do and maybe 1 DON'T"
the sheriff said. "But let me tell
you this, Dunn: you've just about
run out your rope! By God, if
ever a man overplayed his hand,
you've sure overplayed yours! You
go on home, and see that you stay
where you can be got, until you hear
from mel"
Horse Dunn grinned, showing his
teeth. 81 am home," he answered.
"You fellers are the visitors here.
Set off easterly, and ride steady, and
maybe in three-four hours you'll be
off my range! I'd start at it, if I
was you"
He moved off a little way into the
scant shade of Joshua stalk; then
sat where he was. Presently, still
sitting there, he watched them ride
away, losing shape in the heat
waves and the dust.
Old Man Coffee surprised them
all by coming in on mule an hour
after breakfast next morning. The
Frying Pan Country from which he
came was beyond the all but mac
cessible Tuscaroras, and to reach
the "a by road or narrow-gauge
would have called for nearly 800
miles of travel. Coffee, however,
had apparently come by unsuspect-
ed short cuts; and he had come fast
and hard, to judge by the ribby and
droop-lipped condition of his black
mule.
Marian Dunn had never seen an
outfit like that of Old Man Coffee.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1937-09-02

Around the black mule as it shuf1ed
to stop, no less than six fiop-eared
dogs of fox-hound type dropped to
the ground. One of these, the lead
er, big spotted hound with enor-
nous jowls, wore pack which
seemed to contain a tightly-rolled
blanket, a frying pan, and a coffee
can with hay-wire bale. Another,
a grizzled ancient hound, astound-
ed Marian because it was wearing
deer-skin rock-moccasins, which
looked to the girl as if the dog wore
shoes-and socks.
The mules saddle bore a high
power rifle, a pair of hobbies,
cowbell stuffed with leaves, and Old
Man Coffee. The old lion hunters
face was of deep-seamed leather,
from which deep-set eyes looked out
penetratingly, but not unkindly. His
faded blue work clothes were like
those of the cow hands, but he wore
fiat-heeled shoes instead of half
boots, and instead of the broad Stet-
son of the cowboys, the mountain
man wore slantwise on his bald
head battered hat of narrow
brimmed, indiscriminate character.
Don't you find riding a mule kind
of Slow" Marian ventured.
Coffee exchanged a brief glance
with Horse Dunn. ''Oh, sure" he
said; "but what's time to a mule?"
A mule makes mighty good time
in the hills, with good mountain
man on him." Horse explained to
his niece. "See?"
Marian glanced at her big old un-
Gle but didn't answer. To the best
OF Wheeler's knowledge she hadn't
spoken to Horse Dunn that morn
ing. Something had come between
Horse Dunn and his niece, just since
the day before. Horse had baffled,
apologize look whenever he looked
at her. 1t was wonderful how gen.
tied and saddle-broke the tough Old
Man seemed in the case of any,
thing this slim, pale girl was mixed
into.
Old Man Coffee, Horse Dunn, and
Billy Wheeler sat in Horse Dunn's
room and talked it over.
WELL" Old Man Coffee came to
the point, "who shot who this
timer"
Briefly, Horse Dunn explained to
Old Man Coffee the curious circum-
stance by which they knew, or sup
posed they did, that a man was
dead by violence-while still they
did not know who he was. He de-
scribed in some detail the ground
marks which the cattle had now
erased.
Coffee nodded. Billy Wheeler
noted that Coffee, the man of dim
trails which only dogs could find,
did not question Horse Dunn's in
depreciation of the sign.
