The midyear reorganization of the school system, which will take place at the end of the month, is being carefully studied by officials at the Franklin School. Prediction is made Schools Stephen E. K enrollment will be little changed by the reorganization. “It is probable,” he commen “that there will be a slight decrease, if anything, as the new kindergarten children rarely amount to the number who graduate.

It is ex- pected now these new quarters will not be ready before March 15. Under present plans Mr. Kramer will organize the classes which will go into the Stuart and Macfarland on February 1 just as if the new schools were completed in order they may be placed promptly in March. The furniture for the Stuart Junior High School arrived in the city today and will be stored until the building is in condition to receive it. PASTOR’S HOME FIRED.

The sale began at 10 o'clock and by noon the tax titles to 100 lots had been sold for the unpaid tax plus the penalty of 1 per cent per month, and a small fee for the printing of the property listed for disposal. Deputy Tax lector W. is acting as the auctioneer. Of the first 100 parcels to pass under the hammer, Manuel Faust of Cleveland bought 34, C. H. Wiltsie of Rochester, N.

The le, according to Mr. Towe: probably will continue through Satur day. The proceeding does not deprive delinquents of control of their prop erty at once. Amounts “bid"” for lots, with improvements, seldom amount to more than the sum of the taxes due in addition to the penalty for linquency. What actually does hap pen is that a bidder agrees to reim- burse the District Government for the | back taxes, and when his “bid” is | accepted he does so. | Then he charges the owner at the M. Towers, | vanced until he is reimbursed. If he | is not reimbursed after two vears he obtains a tax title to the property which enables him to make additional | charges if the owner undertakes to redeem his proberty. In the mt':\n-‘ time it is impossible to obtain loans | on the property which has become clouded by the tax title proceedings. | The value of the 20,000 parcels lis ed for sale is not known by District | officials. Last vear, however, 10,740 | lots disposed of yielded approximately 0,000. The figure may be doubled | this year, due to the fact that almost | twice as many parcels are ln\‘olved.] The widow, Mrs. Mary D. Hazen, and the daughter, Mrs. Mary H.

Physiologist Declares Hot Drinks Hurt | By the Associated Press CHICAGO, January 11.—A warning to gluttons that piping hot coffee, tea or soup is injurious to the stomach is contained in results of experiments by Dr. A. C. Ivy, professor of physiology at Northwestern University. His re- search also has resulted in producing experimental gastric ulcers. He believes that hunger is due to some change in the blood, because he has found that a transplanted stomach contracts when an animal gets hungry. . “We have shown,” Dr. Ivy said to- day, “ghat hot flulds—M 80 hot that we cannot easily hold our fingers fin them—have an injurious effect on | the lining of the stomach. The lining | of the stomach becomes red and swol- len and does not secrete normally. As eaning and effect of appetite, quite clearly now that when one has an appetite the sight, smell and taste of food causes these glands to secrete.
