BANGOR, Me., Feb. 17,-Whst Is be
lieved to bo the largeat aum ever awarded
as "hesrt balm" has been found for Miss
Kllsabeth beona Oarmong, who sued
John Brooks Henderson, Jr., clubtnsn and
lawyer of Washington and eon of United
States genstor Henderson of Missouri,
for 130.000. She was awarded $116,000.
"I fought more for the name oj my
4-year-old daughter than I did for 'the
money," waa all the plaintiff would say
after the decision had been announced by
the jury.
"There Is no school teachers' trust
in this state, nor is the Schoolmas
ters' club of Nebraska in any way
concerned in the matter of maintain
ing an embargo against any particu
lar teacher or teachers," declared E.
U. Graff, president of the Schoolmas
ters' club of Nebraska, when told of
the bill introduced in the legislature
by Senator Henry of Colfax. j
While the bill Iteelf makes no reference j
to the 8f hoolmasters" club, thst organlsa-
tlon has been mentioned In this connec-
tion and the ire of various educatora of
the stste haa been aroused.
Proponents of the bill maintain there
is a teachers' trust in this state and that
"sharp politics" are played -by members
of the club. It Is alleged that the club
holds the whip hand In matters educa
tional and that It bodes - 111 tor any
teacher to work at- cross purposes In
iK'hool politics or to take any stand
which may be regarded as lnlmcal by the
club.
Uraff la Indignant.
President Graff, who Is superintendent
of the Omaha public schools, Is Indignant
over the aaperslons cast upon his or
ganisation, whose membership Includes
prominent school men snd women of tha
state.
"Somebody has been eating mince pie
or having a pipe dream. It Is absurd to
think that the club would exceed Its
Bcope by engaging In school politics,"
added President Graff.
In any event, the Henry bill Is creat
ing something of a furore In school
circles of the atate and there are some
st Lincoln who Inslat fiey have the
'dope," which they will spring st the
proper time.
Tho Schoolmsslers' club meets three
times a year, alternating between Omaha
and Lincoln. At a meeting a few years
ago, Health Commissioner R. W. Connell
stirred up quite a fuss when he spoke to
the club and arraigned ths morals of the
Omaha High school. -

STYLES QUIT WAR TONE
Expert Says that America Will

Ora Cns (pronounced Sen-nay), the man
wlsard of woman's millinery fashions.
who is charming large audlencea at. the
Splesberger sales rooms this week. Is
specially ' emphasising American-made
styles in his talks.
"This country can produce styles just
chlo and good looking as any Im
ported models," he said. "Then, too, they
have tha advantage of being peculiarly
adapted to ths style of ths American
woman."
Ha ssys . that the present vogue of
sand, putty and cement shades waa the
first Indication of America's ability to
stand behind Its own fashion setting. Ac
cording to Mr. Cne, neither of these
shades appeared on tha Imported color
card for this present season, but the
colors were launched by the American
syndicate and proved successful.
Ths coming sesson's styles will no
longer be affected by the war, but the
1830 modes will be revived, he believes.
Shepherdess hats and flowing rlbbona at
ths back and side and quaint garden
hats will be the thing.
Ths vagaries of society women, who
enter every prominent millinery establish
ment In town, order several hats made
on approval, and then only buy one hat
In one store, wers heavily scored by ths
speaker.
In ths twinkling of an eye, and while
engaged In rapid-fire monologue, Mr. Cne
converts an ordinary millinery shape Into
a beautiful model, with only the addition
of a bolt of ribbon or a bunch of flowers.
These exhibitions sre being given dally
for the out-of-town buyers who are In the
city now purchsslng ths coming sesson's
stock.
Men from five states and the Argentine
republic registered ut tho hotels In Flor

Mai.y people believe that thoae remedies
which have etood, the test of time, that
