MANUAL TRAINING,

DOMESTIC
COURS
NEED
SAYS GROUT
NEW OFFICERS OF COAST AD MEN
Manual training, sewing and cook
ing should still have their place ae
a part of the seventh and eighth
grade grammar school courses, in
the opinion of D. A. Grout, superin
tendent, who made hie position clear
- this morning in commenting on the
question of eliminating these courses
raised at the school board meeting
Thursday night by Dorector W. F.
Woodward, chairman of the business
committee. Woodward did not de
clare his opinion in the matter, but
merely brought up the subject for
discussion.
"We prize these courses for their
educational value," said Grout "Chil
dren are concrete-minded rather than
. abetr act-minded. They learn more
quickly and easily if brought in con
tact with things which are real and
. definite. During these modern times
'" the boy and girl do not get the oppor
tunity to do the industrial type of
work except in the rural communities."
COMMIT! EE TO ACT
The matter was placed in the hands
of the educational affairs committee,
headed by Frank L. ghull. This com
mittee will submit its report at the
next board meeting, July 21.
Need of economising was the reason
for Woodward's bringing up the ques
tion. These courses make an expense
of $100,000 a year, Grout told the board.
. About 120,000 of this is spent for sup
plies, $26,000 for equipment, , and the
remainder for teachers' salaries. The
board is up against it for money," he
explained. "It Is just hunting for ways
ana means of relieving the situation."
A. C. Newill, chairman of the board,
brought up the question of referring the
3-mill tax levy to the people once more.
He stated it has been his discovery that
a large number thought the tax levy was
designed to increase the taxes of the
district
It will be best to get along with what
ever funds are on hand, said George P
Eiaman, director. "I do not think, it
would be wise to go before the people at
this time," he declared. Shull supported
this opinion.
' A 10 room building of the cottage type,
and with no assembly hall, will be de
signed by the superintendent of prop
erties. .Its cost will not exceed 160,000,
according to Shull s figures.
ESTIMATES ORDERED
Captain George Edmonstone, superin
tendent of properties,- was instructed to
have his estimate on hand for the next
meeting.
Three teachers, Edna Doyle Braseau.
Lilian M. Downing and Mrs. Ada J.
Farmer were granted a leave of ab
sence, and 'resignations were accepted
from the following: Edith Bailey.
Laurose M. Bailey, Mary E. Condon,
Lucile Davis, Grace Goodall, Gladys
Michel and Mrs. Rosella Scott
No rest room, if was decided, will be
'constructed for the Thompson school on
account of the difficult financial straits
in which the board finds itself.
Contracts to furnish wood were
awarded as follows: L T. Howitt 225
cords; the Standard Wood company.
2411 cords, and Albina Fuel company,
1969 cords.
The report on repairs for school
buildings and equipment, furnished by
the superintendent of properties, was
adopted. The work is estimated to cost
$50,000.

Chicago, July 8. (I. N. S.) Peg
gy Hopkins Joyce today was awarded
$1450 per month temporary alimony
$27,500 for solicitors' fees and $12,
500 for courtroom expenses in a de
cision handed down by Judge Joseph
Sabath. The former chorus girl, de
fendant in the divorce suit brought
by J. Stanley Joyce, millionaire' lum
berman, had asked $10,000 a month
alimony and $100,000 for solicitors'
fees and expenses.
BIG FEES GRANTED
Judge Sabath, in bis decision, de
clared Peggy was entitled to alimony
prior to the divorce trial, as to withhold
it would be to judge the case in advance
of the trial. The sums allotted her for
counsel and suit fees were the -largest
of their kind ever granted in Cook
county. i
The court however, said that if she j
round the amount allowed wm not suf
ficient to meet costs, he would entertain
a motion to increase the amount
"Joyce 4s a man of great wotith, who
lavished grt expenditures on his wife,
the court stated. "These expenditure!
before and after marriage totaled nearly
$1,300,000. It certainly should be no in
justice to ask him to support her new
while an aist'ov; of this kind is pending."
MARRIAGE LEGAL
For the purposes of reaching his de
cision. Judge Sabath said that the mar
riage of Peggy and Joyce was legaL
Joyce had contended that Peggy had not
been granted her divorce from .Sher
burne Hopkins yet when he married her.
Judge Sabath held Joyce had failed to
prove this contention, although he point
ed out bis decision on alimony would
not affect the question of legality of
the divorce and marriage when the trial
is held.
Attorneys for Joyce, however, did not
accept the decision willingly. Alfred S.
Austrian, chief of Joyce's counsel, im
mediately filed an appeal from the order,
declaring he would carry the appeal to
the state's atifehest courts. A boad fixed
at $15,000 to rover the appeal was issued
to Joyce pending outcome of the action.
Eilers Attempts to
Show Plot Exists
Against Companies
Ernest W. Hardy, trustee in bank
ruptcy for the Eilers Talking Machine
company, was called by the defense this
morning in the case of the state against
Hy J. Kilers, charged with embezzle-
J ment, and testified that the talking ma
chine company paid 100 cents on the
dollar after it was ' thrown into bank
ruptcy, that $3000 attorneys' fees were
paid and $3000 was left over in assets
Rebuttal began in the Eilers case this
morning and was expected to last all
day. Court probably will hold a recess
over Saturday, leaving final arguments
until next week.
Hardy's testimony was brought out by
the defense in an attempt to show that
there was a plot against the Eilers com
panies. Eilers' hopes for victory are said
largely to depend upon his ability to
prove the existence of this plot to the
satisfaction of the Jury.
Eilers Thursday failed to remember
the testimony which a stenographic re
port showed he made before Referee in
Bankruptcy Cannon, during proceedings
in August 1918. The defendant declared
he believed the stenographer's notes were
garbled. According to the notes, he said
he knew nothing about the "Cornell spe
cial account"

England Admits U. S.
View Not Sought on
New Japanese Treaty
London, July 8. (I. N. 8.) The Brit
ish foreign office formally admitted
this afternoon that there has been no
forrmal diplomatic conversation with
the American government at Washing
ton regarding the renewal of the Anglo
Japanese treaty.
An official of the foreign office made
the following statement :
"Premier Lloyd George's statement in
the house of commons unfortunately
created the erroneous impression that
official negotiations had been ex
changed with Washington, whereas
there have been only unofficial con
versations. The government is still
hopeful that word will be received from
Washington."

have interviewed all land owners along
the highway and have their pledges of
cooperation in avoiding fire danger.
Every camper will be pledged to
equal caution. The fire patrol will be
especially active between Crown point

"Each year a number of brush fires
destroy a large amount of shrubbery
and young Umber along the highway."

the fires start from sparks from freight
engines and many are caused by camp
ers who fall to extinguish their camp
fires and who toss burning matches.
cigars and cigarettes from their auto
mobiles.
BBUSH FIRES DANGEROUS
"This year there will be more brush
and dry grass along the highway than
ever, ang the public is asked to co
operate by being exceptionally careful
with fire.
"Two brush fires last year, caused
by campers tossing burping matches
and cigar stubs, and fanned by a
strong east wind. Jumped across the
highway and started up the side of a
steep mountain before they could be
brought under control.
"These brush fires not only leave
ugly scars along the highway, but
also cause the gorge to be very smoky
and prevent full enjoyment of the scen
ery on the part of visitors who may
have traveled many miles.
EMPLOY "SMOKE CHASER"
"The forest service will patrol this
area three times a day. In addition a
'smoke chaser' will be kept at Eagle
creeTc and a supply of fire fighting equip
ment wiH be stored at the district

tank. This will be kept at Herman
creek and will be sent to all large fires

crews now on duty between Multnomah
county and the town of Hood River will
cooperate by extinguishing any fires In
its section.
"Stage drivers and truck drivers who
operate each day between Portland and
Hood River have also promised their
