Teachers Cannot Collect Wages The question of compensation for the teachers during the time the schools are idle on account of the quarantine was given consideration by the Donora school board. Solicitor Scott was requested to give an opinion. He advised that as the board was protected in its contracts with the teachers by a clause which covered the quarantine, no claim for salaries could be enforced, and it is also questioned whether the board could legally make any payments to teachers unless they were actually employed.

The question was brought up by the fact that three of the teachers had come from such great distance that they remained in Donora waiting until the quarantine is removed and schools can be opened. In the contract with the teachers of Monongahela the same clause is inserted, which covers quarantine or destruction of the buildings. Celebrated Wedding Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. George Murphy, of Lincoln street, celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary last evening when they entertained about twenty-five friends.

Mrs. Keys had been in failing health for some time, and her death was not unexpected. Her condition improved at times, but the lat week she suffered a relapse and her condition became critical.

Her daughter Mrs. Lillian Crites, has been at the bedside of the aged woman for several weeks, assisting in caring for her.

Former Charleroi Girl in Movies Olive Thomas, has a big ambition for such a diminutive girl. It is to be the greatest motion picture actress in the world.

Miss Thomas is now appearing as visiting star in support of Harry Fox and Grace Darling in several episodes of the Inter national Film Service's photo-play series, "Beatrice Fairfax." She has won unstinted praise not only for the beautiful manner in which she "screens," but for the wonderful dra matic ability she has displayed. "All of my previous theatrical ex perience has been acquired in musical comedies," explained Miss Thomas "and I never realized until I joined the International forces what a real- ly great field the motion pictures offer. Many persons imagine that all one has to do in motion pictures is to look pretty. But I honestly believe that greater talent is required in motion pictures work than in the spok en drama." Miss Thomas is a native of Char-leroi, in the Pittsburgh district, but the smoke and grime of the great in dustrial community did not prevent her from becoming one of the most beautiful women in America. She spent all of her childhood in and around Pittsburgh, having lived in another suburb, Glassport, for sever al years.

She was sixteen years old when she landed in New York. That was well, it was four years ago, but you would never think -to look at "01- lie" as her friends all call her, that she has reached the advanced age of 20. For two years prior to joining the International, Miss Thomas was. with the- Ziegfeld Follies and attracted wide attention by her grace, charm an3 beauty. Miss.

Thomas' first ap pearance in "Beatrice Fairfax" is in the tenth episode "Play Ball," in which she plays the part of "Rita Malone," sweetheart of "Kerrigan," the Giant pitcher.

Many negro laborers" from the south have been imported. Birmingham, Alabama, alone reporting that 5000 men had left that district for northern points. Many of these men have found employment in the mills at Monessen, and several hundred are working for the Pennsylvania railroad company at Shire Oaks, Brownsville and other points.

ARE TOO NUMEROUS TO BE ACCIDENTAL Never before in the history of presidential campaigns in America has it been necessary to subject every statement of fact by party in power to scrutiny. But the flagrant misrepresentations the Democratic party managers are putting out this year are too numerous to be accidentu. We have often called attention to the habitual, misstatement-, as to when the Federal Reserve system went into effect and the studied and systematic misrepresentations of the provisions of the short and simple Adamson act. But still more glaring falsehoods are being circulated in the list of achievements of the present administration.

One list given out personally by the Democratic national chairman includes the parcels post, the children's bureau, the creation of the Department of Labor, the Industrial Commission, the phosphorus match law, eight-hour provision for postoffiee clerks and the extension of the eight-hour day to public works and to the manufacture of ordnance. Every one of these laws was signed by President Taft. St. Louis Globe Democrat. FORMER LOCAL BOY NOW U.
