Husband Had Destroyed
FiUe Dresses

Higgins is 80 and his wife,
Emily, is only 18. Not quite a
case of May and December, but
bordering on May and early
autumn, Whether disparity OF
age was the cause of the row or
not, the clipping didn't state.
But Mrs. Higgins told the court
that her husband had cut five
dresses to ribbons, using a razor
blade with amazing deXterlty,
and then he sliced two pairs OF
shoes and her fur coat. Mr.. Hlg-
gins seems to have been an eX-
penSive luxury.
Judge Miles, after comforting
with Chief Probation OFFICER
Thomas F.. Teehan, found that,
under the old common law, Hig-
gins was entitled to his WlteS
property, Ito do with as he
saw fit" On that day, apparent
ly, Mr.. Higgins saw fit to do
Dl6I2IN W LID W4AN . "a AOSOSNN~NN'
On the following day, the
bridegroom, still armed with his
trusty razor blade, went to the
house of his mother-in-laW. on
Motley Street, Roxbury, and al
legedly inflicted more damage on
his wife's coat. Only this time
Mrs. Higgins had it on. A slight
cut was said to have been in
flicted on the young Woman's
shoulder.
Judge Miles found probable
cause on a charge of assault and
battery with a dangerous weapon
and held the bridegroom for the
grand jury. He placed bail at
$500. It seems that this law
was once in effect in Massachu-
sets, but has since been
changed.

Spends Her Life
In Hospital

While this is primarily a story
about Miss Gibson, it is impos-
Siole to write of her without
writing of Children's Hospital
where she literally spends her
life.
What it costs in time, energy
and efficiency to keep a great
institution moving on Well-oiled
wheels, Miss Gibson could easily
tell.
Perhaps she couldn't have
done it so we'll except for the
great war, when she volunteered
for service with a surgical unit
in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
With Mobile Hospital No. 1
Miss Gibson went all through
the war-Champagne, Marine,
Aisne Marne. st. Mihiel, Meuse
Argonne, and defense sector.
This hospital, according to au-
thoritative information, hold
the record of American organi-
cations for the amount of 'front.'
line work done and was twice
cited for efficiency and fearless
ness. Miss Gibson receide the
Croix de Guerre with a bronze
star.
So it's possible that Children's
Hospital has presented few prob
lens to her that could be con-
sidered new or untried. If medals
were in order, Miss Gibson
would be due for another medal
for her tireless and pains
taking work as superintendent
of Children's Hospital.

Miss Gibson went to say, that

a year numbered 1000, but that
now they had as many as $4,000.

Fresh tomatoes are always

excellent, try combining them
with pineapple. Scoop out the
center of six medium sized to-
matoes. Shop six slices of crisp
bacon, one minced onion, and
add to the scooped-out tomato
pulp. Now add one cup of fresh
or canned crushed pineapple,
and enough fine breadcrumbs
to make the right consistency
to stuff into the tomato shells.

SUMNER VACATION
By CLAYTON Rand

BY Clayton Rand
According to the Lynden( Wash.)
Tribune, one of its local friends,
planning vacation, read an ad-
vertisement in one of the national
magazines.
Giant evergreens, cloaked in the
hush of centuries Mighty peaks
ablaze with vivid alpine flowers
beside summer SHOWS, cool green
islands in sheltered waters; majestic
rivers; sparkling streams, water
falls, lakes; fishing, golf, warm sea-
bathing"
Intrigued by the advertisement
the reader was surprised to find it
one in which the attractions Of his
own state were put into word pic
lures, SO he decided to spend the
summer at home.

cation is getting home again. Were

EXPLAINS CLASSIFICATI0NS
OF SCHOOLS.

The question is often asked,
What is the meaning of first, sec
ond and third class school Districts"
According to the Montana classifi-
cation first class school district is
one with a population of 5000 or
more. Butte. Great Falls, Helena,
Anaconda and Missoula are includ-
ing in this division. Cities with a
population of 1000 to 5000 are des-
ignated second districts and Libby
is listed in this class along with
Bozeman, Kalisuell, Glendive,
Whitefish and some 80 others. I'm
der 1000, towns are called third
class districts but this classified
ton has no reference to their eff
ficiency rating Approval and ac-
creditlng an elementary or high
school by the state department is
designated as standard" or non
standard.
All high schools and colleges are
inspected by two accredited associa-
tons, one, the North Central that
is associated with educational insti-
tutions of the middle west and east.
The Northwest Association deals di-
rectly with those in the west and
along the coast. The Libby high
school has been fully accredited
member of the North Central since
1912 and of the Northwest since its
formation in 1925. Approved mem
bership in these associations includes
inspection as to the qualifications
Of teachers, equipment, the curricu-
lum, the quality of instruction and
the rating of its students. Gradu
ates of accredited high schools are
admitted to standard colleges with
out examination. The personnel,
the course of study, and the finished
products must therefore. conform
with the standard set up by the ac-
crediting associations. The student
must show proficiency in and pre-
sent the required number of cred
its in certain subjects such as Eng
llsh, science, languages, mathematics,
and the social sciences Opportun-
ity is given a student to take a
number of academic units in
GLIDING commercial, music and pub
lie speaking The course of the sec
ondary school student is thus pre-
Scribed to large extent, with linn
tied elections for upper classmen.
A special effort will be made this
coming year to arrange the sched-
ule SO that all students desiring
band, orchestra and other music
courses will be able to get them in
regular school hours without CON
flicts in their other studies. Prin-
cipal Crane and Music Director
Kemper will enroll all next year
students this spring Parents are
urged to discuss the schedule with
students and to plan full four
years course SO that each subject
taken by the student contributes to
consistent purpose. If college en-
trance is considered, certain re-
CURED studies must be included.
If business is to be the immediate
objective, then the commercial de
partment should be the one where
most of the work is done Cultural
courses Of music may be combined
with either Of the above.
The answer to question at the be-
ginning of the article is then that
Libby high school is designated sec
ond class on the population basis,
it is rated standard" in achieve
ment by the state department and
is fully accredited and approved by
both accredited agencies that OPP

Snartan Battlefield

Following definite identification Of
the famous battlefield of $500 years
ago on which the Spartan King
Leonidas and 300 of his soldiers per-
ished while holding the pass Of
Thermopylae against Persian invad-
ers, search continues in an effort to
find the Polyandrion, or communal
tomb of the heroes. Professor
Marinatos, director of archaeological
services in the Greek ministry Of
education at Athens, states that
the battlefield was on the spot where
now are the Thermopylae baths.
Basing their Investigations on the
text of Herodotus, the searchers un-
covered Phocial wall in it's entirety.
They definitely identified the hill
on which the little band fell as one
situated near the baths.
