GOOD TALES of the CITICS

New System Results in Country Schools

CHICAGO. —Garrett Triezenberg, a sixteen-year-old graduate of the Evergreen Park school. Is a hustling argument in favor of the back to the farm movement. In two years, by doing chores on a farm, selling .the onion crop from one acre, and making a profit of S3O on a pig which he raised, Garrett has saved $1,596. Garrett was one of thirty-nine graduates of the new achievement classes of the Cook county public schools, who were awarded medals In the offices of County Superintendent Edward J. Tobin. All of them, boys and girls, have achieved distinction through their earning capacity at gardening, canning, sewing, music . and baking. The class was the first to graduate under Superintendent Tobin’s new

system of combining practical and theoretical study In the county schools. The system provides for seven country life directors, who have charge of the. students the year around, both at school and at home. Tillie’ Guadagni, seventeen years old and a graduate of the Stickney school at State road and Seventyninth street, has earned .almost as much as Garrett. She boasts of a saving of $1,200, the result of canning. She is saving her money for a college education. “My father has given me a plot of ground in exchange for my help on the farm,” she said. “I help him with the hoeing and planting and weeding, and in my spare time I takte care Of my 25 by 425 feet of tomatoes. In the winter I sew for the family.” Elizabeth Vanderwall, fifteen years old, of Blue Island, has no -bank account, but she has turned to good advantage what she has learned in the achievement class. “Mother was sick last winter, she said, “and I was able to take care of her and the family. I did all the cooking. Then I sew all the clothes for my two sisters, even their winter serge dresses. I make mothers house dresses.”

Face Slapped; Woman Scorned; Revenge!

SAN FRANCISCO. —Because he lost his temper and slapped his girl’s face, Anthony Filipo,’ alias Blake, is in the city prison as a fugitive from justice en route to Newark, N. J., where he is wanted in connection with the murder of two men. With him is his pal, Peter Ruggero, alias Jack Stanley, alias Jack Rosenberg, wanted by Newark police in connection with the same case. । t In a lover’s quarrel De Filipo slapped the girl’s face and said, “I ought to give you more.” . The slap changed the girl from a trusting sweetheart to a woman scorned. She appeared at police headquarters. “I know where there are two men wanted for murder in Newark. I will lead you to them provided you don’t ask my name and will protect me against their wrath,” she told the sergeant at the detective bureau. “It’s all true, for they confided in me and they have newspaper clippings on the case.” De Filipo and Ruggero were arrested. Newspaper clippings in their possession told the story. Members of two different “gangs”- happened upon one another in the Florence Gardens, an Italian restaurant in Newark, on the night of March 26. A fight fol-

lowed and shots were fired. When the police arrived the gangsters were dispersed and two men. were lying dead on the floor. * During a short courtship here, the girl told the police, De Filipo confided in her that he and Ruggero were wanted in connection with the double murder. He said, according to the girl, that his father is worth half a million dollars and that as soon as the trouble was smoothed over they would go back together and his father would settle part of the estate on him. Her revenge complete at the sight of De Filipo and Ruggero wearing handcuffs, she left the hall of justice to take the next train for Pleasanton, she said, and live with her sister, who is a nurse there.

English 'as She Is Taught, but Not Spoke

NEW YORK—Don’t get scared when this—unless you have been too successfully violating the Volstead act. It’s merely two questions put to the ’ students of the Teachers’ college here in the graduating examinations: • . “If ontogeny invariably Ingerminates phylogeny, circumscribe the word giving the location of the Ourcq; if not, underscore the word that locates the mandible. “England Foot Utah Face Peru France Arm India. “If your answer to this question were to be construed as an index of your intelligence, what is the best you could do under pressure?” The which suggests that it’s no

wonder English is fast becoming the universal language. So many ways of saying the same thing, y’know. Now, if you were a foreigner just learning English and grabbed a dictionary and undertook to translate, a little .casual /work would possibly result about like this:' If the history of the individual developmerit of an organism Always uniformly shoots the history of genealogical development, draw a line around so as to touch at certain points without cutting the spoken sign of a conception exhibiting as a • product the process of locating the Ourcq.; if not, draw a mark under the single component part of human speech that sets in a particular position the anterior pair of mouth organs of insects, crustaceans and related animals. England Foot Utah Face Peru France Arm India. If your defense to this objection were to be explained as to its grammatlcal construction as a table, for facilitating reference to topics, names and the like in a book of your news, what is the most nearly perfect being you can execute under a constraining impulse?

Will Contains a “Voice From tKe Tomb”

PERTH AMBOY, N J—The will of Joseph Kramer of Perth Amboy will be contested by two members of his family. The will calls for the division of the greater portion of the estate, which is said to be large in realty holdings, between his son, Arthur, and another daughter, Esther Kramer. There are also bequests to the Perth Amboy City hospital and the Jewish Memorial building fund. After directing the division of the estate the will reads: “Expecting my will to be read by my executors before my funeral, It is my earnest wish that my wife, Minnie, and daughter, Jennie, do not attend my funeral. “I do give, devise and bequeath to my wife, Minnie, only the dower interest which the law of the state of New Jersey provides I shall give her and she shall not share in any other part or division of my estate. “I do, hereby, give, devise, and bequeath, to my daughter, Jennie, the sum of sl2 a month, to be paid to her from my estate as long as she

live. My purpose in devising this monthly sum is as follows: “Five dollars' a month to remind her of the time in 1916 when she said to me, 'Black pig, don’t sleep with my mother.’ “Five dollars per month to remind her of the time ilf 1918 when she struck me while I was in the kitchen. “Two dollars a month to remind her . of the time in 1920 when she said to me, when I was sick in bed: ‘Don’t cough so load, you are making too much noise, t will have you arrested for disturbing the neighbors.’"
