EXPERT ANNOUNCES NEW SCHOOL SYSTEM GIVES GOOD Rl DETROIT, March 29. The "Work-Study-Play" plan upon which" the plattoon school system is based, has. served not: only to cut the cost of education but-to in crease its benefits.in the opinion of Miss Rose Phillips, supervisor of platoon schools In Detroit. She describes the purposes of the plai toon system as the teaching 6f f up damentals (the three R's); the training, of children "for worthy participation in the affairs of the home," and the training of . chil dren In the duties and responsibili ties of citizenship, "to make them conscious' of their social relation ships." For the attainment of these pur poses, the pupils are divided into two platoons. While one group is engaged in the "home",, rooms, be ing taught reading, writing, arith metic and penmanship, the other group, or platoon, is in the "spec ial" ;rooms,t; receiving training in special courses not regarded. under the old standards. as fundamen tal, but according to Miss Phillips, nonetheless important in the de velopment of the child for his home and citizenship responsibili ties. The system, Miss Phillips says, gives more, time for the inculca tion of fundamentals than is possi ble under the old. system.. Al though the "home" room teacher has two groups of pupils to handle during the day, she has fewer sub jects to prepare, fewer interrup tions, ana; thus Is able better to check the ability of the children in the formal subjects. An Important feature of the pla toon system, in Miss Phillips' opin ion, is the auditorium. It adds to the elementary, school, she main tains, an "entirely new and im portant socializing unit which the non-platoon system did not have." When Its possibilities are finally worked out, she believes, it will be found to be the most effective educational force in the entire or ganization. , Thre are various ways In which the . auditorium may be used to further the educational program, Miss Phillips asserts. Platoon schools have been in successful op eration since 1918. KERRY COW MAKES MILK RECORD (By Mail) LONDON, March 12. Gort Cur ly 9th, a Kerry cowk has produced 11,933 pounds of milk in 46 weeks.

Driving ahead with its program tolreraove he reckless motdrist. from the highway the National Autofnoblfe Chamber of "Commerce has published the tet of a speci men law for the impounding of motor vehicles of offenders.

Detroit is now. impounding ve hicles by taking away the license of the car. Anotber method is to affix a police seal on the car in the owner's garage; or the vehicle can be impounded in a public garage at the owner's expense. -t The measure as outlined pro vides for public sale of the car where offender does not meet the fees and expenses approved by the court for the seizure and deten tion of the vehicle. The automobile organization has published Jhis proposed law not with the thought, that it is neces sarily the best for Any particular situation, but to serve as a gu?de for a practical measure for any community which may . have this form of legislature in mind. Extra copies may be obtained from the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, 366 Madi son Avenue, New Tory City, -without charge. . There arev various methods of punishing the reckless motorist. Fines, however, are not a great worry to the prosperous, and It Is hajdiQ geta jury to Impose Jail sentences. It is felt that the im pounding method of. depriving the owner of the use of his car for a given period is more severe than a fine; and that the justice of the measure will appeal to jurors. The text ot the bill is as fol lows: . t - Upon the conviction of any person, firm or corporation or gent or servant of any person, firm or corporation while per forming his principal's or mas ter's worK -or duty,, of an of fense in any court of this state where, a motor vehicle was.. un lawfully used or operated in the commission of such offense, the court, may in addition to all oth er punishment and penalties perscrlbed by law prohibit the use of the motor vehicle during a period to be fixed by the court. The officer executing the sen tence Of the court shall seize said motor vehicle and impound and. detain the same in. such manner as th court may pre scribe, and said motor vehicle shall not be released until .all fees and expenses approved by the court for Jhe, seiaure and detention of said, motor vehicle shall have been paid. If such fees and .expense are not paid within 10 days after fhe same have been approved by the court, such motor vehicle shall be sold at private or public sale, as may be . directed by the court, and the officer making the sale, after deducting the ex penses of impounding and de taining the property, the fees . for the seizure and the costs of the sale, shall pay all liens ac cording to .their priorities which are. established by intervention or a?ny other proceeding brought for such purpose as being bona THE BEST GIFT FOR ANY POY A BICYCLE fide and as having been created without the lienor hiving any notice that the motor vehicle was being used or was to be used for the commission of any of fense or in violation of any statute or ordinance and Shall pay the balance ot Such proceeds to the owner. All liens against the property sold uffder the pro visions, of. this statute shall be transferred from the property to the proceeds of sale of tpe property. If, however, no one Shan he found claiming the mo tor vehicle, the sale of the same, with . a; dascriptlon Ihereof, shall be advertised in some newspaper having a circulation in the state and county once, a week for two weeks and by handbills posted in three public places, and if no claimant shall appear within 10 days. after the last publication of the advertise ment, the property shall be sojd and the proceeds,, after deduct ing expenses and costs, shall be paid to the state treasurer. Vengeance of Pagan Gods ; Wreakid on Violators '(B'y'llll) ' '. HONOLULU, Mar. 2. The gods of "ancient Hawaii again wreaked their vengeance upon the whites who made merry upon the site of a former heiau, or old-time temple of worship, according to Hawaiian superstition, . when the famous clubhouse of the Order of Elks on the beach at Waikiki was damaged by fire to the extent of $65,000. . . - The flames, caused by defective wiring, were the last of a series of untoward EventsIncluding murder that occurred at the site of the heiau, which nestles at the foot of Diamond Head. According, to Hawaiian medicine men, only evil will come to those wno desecrate the site of an ancient beiau. The -clubhouse was built many years ago by. the late James ' B. Castle, a. descendant ot the miss ionaries who came from New Eng land to the, Islands in 1820, as a residence for his family. During the occupancy of the Castle family two Japanese were murdered . in the grounds and attention was called at that time to the tradition of the heiau. keepsmliiE IT 7" MARION 235 S. Commercial.
