.TeachersSign
New Contracts

Eighty one out OF Sc school
teachers offered contracts by the
Ypsilanti School Board have re-
turned the documents signed. Su-
perintendent Ernest Chapelle and
the members OF the board look up
on the high percentage OF returns
as a compliment TO the policy OF
the board which labored hard in
the face Of many kinds of unusual
complications to meet the teachers
salary needs.
Three OF the school teachers re-
turned their contracts unsigned.
They are Miss Mary George who
will leave to take a position teach
ing in Downer College. Milwaukee;
Carl Lessner, who will enter the
armed service; and Miss. Msrsaret
Kalp. assistant librarian who plans
to remove to New York State
where she will seek work close
TO her home there. Two other
teachers who have not returned
their contracts are reported to be
still considering them.
The mutual satisfaction OF board
and faculty followed several con-
ferences in which the teachers
pointed out that they would have

cause OF rising costs OF living in
this industrial war area. The board
pointed out limitations placed on
them by tax regulations and in

If you take a walk through the
wilds of Northern Brazil at certain
season, watch out for what may
drop on you!
During that season, you might be
laid low by the so-called fruit" Of
tall tree. I am thinking Of the
Brazil nut" or para nut" tree.
That tree usually reaches height
of from 80 to 120 feet, and some
times it towers $50 feet above the
ground. 1t produces the Brazil nuts
which are among the popular nuts
sold at stores.
A Brazil nut is not very large.
and you may wonder why I should
warn you about the danger OF one
of them dropping from the tree.
The answer is that they don't drop

one at a time but in bunchesl
From 18 to "a of them are tightly
packed in a woody cover. making
ball about the size of croquet
ball.
A package" Of that kind might
be welcome if it dropped near your
feet. If, however, it struck a per-
son on the head there would be
different story. Weighing from one
to two pounds, and falling from
height of perhaps 80 feet, it could
do good deal of damage. It might
knock a person unconscious, if no
worse.
Brazil nuts are likely to fail at
any time after they become ripe.
Natives of the area take special
care not to go near one of the
trees when strong wind Is blow
ing during the season when the nuts
are ripe.
The Amazon Valley in Brazil is
the chief home of the trees which
bear Brazil nuts. The Rio Negro,
branch of the Amazon, has a
great many of them. In addition
there are Brazil nut trees in the
GuianaS.
Brazil nuts are widely used for
eating. Sometimes they are coated
with chocolate and sold as candy.
The oil of the nut also has i'm
portance. About half of the weight
of Brazil nuts is made up of oil,
and this is squeezed out. Much of
the oil is put into paints which
artists use in making oil paintings.
Machine oil likewise is obtained
from Brazil nuts The works of
many a fine watch have been oiled
with the liquid taken from those
nuts, and it has gone into thou
sands of bars of soap.
A relative of the Brazil nut tree
is known as the cannon ball tree"
Its fruit is made up of balls of the
same rounded shape as old-fash-
ioned cannon balls.
