ill. The rules were adopted at a re
cent meeting of county school super
lntendents held in this city.

teen met certificates will be provided
by the state department It is be
lieved that the plan will result in Ore
gon not only having the most sanitary
schools of any state, but will make
the schools leaders from an education
al standpoint.
Mr. Churchill announced his plan of
standardization at a meeting of the
State Teachers' Association in Salem
last December and a committee draft
ed a set of rules. Oregon was one of
the pioneer states in standardizing
schools in districts of the second and
third classes, much progress along
that line having been made In Coos,
Polk, Marion, Linn, Lane, Douglas,
Jackson, Klamath, Umatilla and Yam
bill counties.
The most important rule relates to
sanitation and Mr. Churchill is deter
mined that it be enorced if possible.
He believes it will save the lives of
many pupils and will make for effi
ciency by conserving the health of the
pupils.

ment Issued by State Bank Superin

iod of last year, reflects sound finan
cial conditions. Mr. Sargent Is un

to the nation-wide lull in business,
and with that decrease he is also un
able to account for the Increase of
almost $2,000,000 in deposits in state
banks.
WAR CLOUDS HANG
OVER ALL EUROPE
Servian Government Refuses
to Comply With Humiliating
Demands of Austria.
London. The darkest war cloud
which has appeared on the European
horlion since Germany sent warships
to Agadtr in 1911 hangs over Europe.
The Servian government refused to
comply fully with Austria's demands,
the most humiliating ever asked of an
independeut nation, for the expiation
of the Saravevo murders for which
Austria holds anti-Austrian conspira
cies in Servia responsible and for
guarantees of future good behavior,
The Servian reply to the Austrluu
ultimatum was an acceptance of al
most all the imperious demands, ex
cept that Austrian officials shall par
ticipate in the investigation and fix
the responsibility for the antl-Austrl-an
propaganda.
Servia proposed an appeal to the
powers at The Hague for the settle
ment of that feature. Notwithstand
ing this humiliating surrender, which
was more thun Europe expected of the
little nation, the Austrian government
gave the Servian minister his pass
ports which may be construed as a
virtual declaration of war.
A formal declaration of war Is not
necessary, because Servia is not a
party to The Hague convention, which
requires this. The suspension of all
parliamentary and Judicial institu
tions have been decreed in Austria
and an Ironclad censorship has drawn
a cordon of secrecy arouud the coun
try, so that the outside world is in
complete Ignorance of everything hap
pening there, except what the govern
ment wants the world to know. '
The question whether Russia will
take up arras to save her Slav protege
from a crushing blow was the crucial
feature of the situation on which the
peace of all Europe hinged.
Tbe same degree of secrecy which
Austria has Imposed has been estab
lished in Russia.
Germany has Informed the other
powers that she considers that the
Austro-Servian quarrel concerns those
nations aione. ir any other power
takes it up she declares, serious con
sequences must follow.
According to the Dally Telegraph,
the German ambassadors at tbe capi
tals of the triple-alliance London, St
Petersburg and Paris when asked to
press their governments to act as a
check on Austria, replied simply that
they would forward the request
In return, Germany Invited the cab
inets of London and Paris to dj their
utmost to keep Russia In check.
GOLD TRINKETS TO
AID SUFFRAGE CAUSE
Chicago. The campnl oomm'ittee
of the National American Woman Suf
frage Association issued a ringing ap
peal here to the women of the country
to pour their gold and silver trinkets
Into a huge "melting pot" for the ben
eflt of their sisters who are battling
for the vote this November in seven
of the states.
This appeal said to be the first of
the Bort ever Issued in the long his
tory of the suffrage movement in this
country is signed by Dr. Anna How
ard Shaw and the members of the
campaign committee consisting of
Mrs. Medill McCormick, chairman;
Mrs. Antoinette Funk and Mrs. Sher
man M. Booth, of Chicago; Mrs. Helen
Gardener, of Washington; Mrs. Mary
C. Bradford, of Denver; Mrs. Desha
Breckenridge, of Lexington, Ky.; Mrs.
John Tucker, of San Francisco, and
Mrs. Edward Dreier, of Brooklyn, N.
Y.
According to the statement given
out at the campaign headquarters, the
campaign committee plans to have the
gold and silver converted Into bullion
and exchanged across the counters
of Uncle Sam for money. The women
hope to raise at least $50,000 before
August 15 and they believe that their
appeal will draw out from the hoard
ing places of the country the equiva
lent, in gold,iirid sliver, of a large
share of this amount.

assail him the harder. He expressed
