Juct Sunday Cases of Childrea's ‘Weary Sundag Trame. The new portable schoel building which was bought by the sehool board for use In the Kensington district and which has been in the course of tion for the past few days is al- most eompleted. The bullding is of wood with tongue and groove sidings on the outside, a dead air groov heavy bullding paper and lined on the Inside with tongue and groove celling. . There will be two school rebms in the bullding date two classes of the ordinary size ar about elghty pupils The building was bought from -' manufacturing firm at the cost n'l Sickness— te accommo- $3.387 f. o. b Berlin. Tt arrived in sections and the board delezated the contract of erecting it to a eontraotor At a cost of 3465 The plan Sehpols B. R of the Superintendent of Showalter is to use the bullding in the Kensington dis- triet for a few years and then to move it to another district where a rapid inerease in the school pepula- tion ls expected. Other arrangements will be made for the Kensington district. This is the first portable achool | bullding that has been used by the | loéal school authorities and conse- ! quently there is mueh interest taken by the taxpayers in the success or | fallure of it. Especlally mar, .e:ars| nre wondering whether so unsubstan- | tidl a looking bullding can be kept warm in the coldest days of winter. As to that objection it need merely be stated that such portable build- ings have been kept at an even tem- pérature during cold weather in other near-by cities, notably New Rritain. B. R. Showalter when asked about keeping the building warm told of a conversation which he had recently with a superintendent of scheels in North Dakota. In that state the tharmometer often goes down to 20 hefow and stays at that level for many Aays. The North Dakota man stated that he had experienced less trouble with the pcrtable bulldings after five years' use than he had with the per- manent briek bduildings It is planned by the superintendent " principal of the Kensiggton school to put the children of the in: mediate grades in the naw bullding and it is probable that the children of Grades IV, and V. will be put there. Motorcyclist Escapes Tnjury. r remarkable escape from A serious accident on the orted yesterday. A inereases in | tends be learned was speeding southward at & rate of about 60 miles an hour aboyt & mile south of the end of the ear line when his front wheel struck A stone or some other obstruetion in the road and the front wheel was thrown into the air. The shock threw the cyelist from his seat over the handle bars and landed him in the road. Witnesses who saw the accident were of the opinion that the driver has been ii. similar aecidents before because he seemed to know how to land and escape injury.

Whi he stopped rolling the man picked himself up uninjured. o) He was fortunate also in not hav- ing any automobiles approaching from the opposits direction st that time.
