Miss As tor's atternoys protested continuing the hearing, saying the actress had not objection of support. ln her parents and had "always done so." "Only last March 20, when suit was filed, Miss Astor deposited tlOO to her father's bank account," Attorney Lasher Gallagher said.

At the time of the special session. Mrs. Kletzer explained. Wheeler and Curry counties were fsclng an 82 per cent tax delinquency. The aver.igc over the state was 43 per cent. Warns of Optimism. "The people." Mrs. Kletzer warned must not be too optimistic over the recent increase In payment of taxes, The people able to pay have chosen to take advantage of tne oonus oi- fered, but when they have paid we will again be facing the same tragic situation created by those who aio unable to pay. The child shouldn't be penalized because he Is living In any particular district." The situation Is a treglo one lor teachers of the state, too. Mrs. Klet zer emphasized, and the teacher's pov erty Is reflected In all business chan nels. She told of one Instance where a teacher from another county ap pealed to the Portland Teachers' as sociation for aid. She had been paid in warrants for two years. They wore cashable by one man In the county where she taught, and he demanded a 50 per cent discount. "It Is under such circumstances," Mrs. Kletzer de clared; "that many schools are kept open." The name of the county was reveal ed by the perent-Teacher officer, but not for publication, through a de sire to protect the teacher in the case. Tuition Poor Plan ' In one of the southern states the problem has been met by tuition charges. In a city of 15.000 popula tion every grade pupil attending school must pay $3 per month and every high schol student $5.50 per month. As a result, 200 children In the district ore deprived of education because their parents can't pay the fee. These figures, Mrs. Kletzer stated, were released by the United States commissioner of education Figures from the same source show that one of every two cities in tne United States has been compelled to drop some Important school service. Twenty-five thousano teachers nave been dropped from the payroll and a million additional children have come Into the schools In need of edu cation. Such was the discouraging cycle drawn by the educational lead er, who also lamented the tendency of people to believe "Just half tho truth." 8o many half-truths have been dis pensed since passage of the sales tax, she added, that she Is urging all Parent-Teacher association members to Investigate that measure and all other legislation for themselves. in Ties!

McPherson Sunday as he was passing by the simian's cage and, to date, only the frame of the glasses i has been recovered. The monkey re moved the lens and hid them, and did a good Job of it. It required con- i slderable maneuvering to regain the frame. McPherson came to town yes terday from Shady Cove, where he re sides, and reported his mishap to friends. The loss of the spectacles came with lightning swiftness. The monkey, feeling playful, Just stuck a long arm through the bars, whisked off the glasses and then retreated to the far corner of his cell. The simian was reluctant to part with his loot. He removed the lens, and played with the frame until they were wheedled away from him. His monkey com panion enjoyed the spisode, seem ingly. A search of the cage was made, but there was no sign of the lens. The thoroughness of the disappearance gives rise to the suspicion that the monkey may have swallowed them. So far the animal has given no signs of Internal distress. McPherson was at the popular re sort as host to Verne Brophy, cow man, as the result of losing a bet on the weight of a steer. McPherson bet Brophy that a beef he sold to the Economy Groceteria would not weigh 1200 pounds. The steer weighed 1208 pounds. The search for the missing lens continues.
