RAVENA.

Mrs. Eugene Snyder met with a very painful accident Monday morning. After sweeping her floor she took the sweepings and went to throw them into the stove, not noticing that the dirt contained a very small copper cartridge which one of her small boys had brought from a troop train and dropped on the floor. As soon as the cartridge struck the fire it exploded, the bullet hitting Mrs. Snyder just below the collar bone. The powder also burned her face. She was taken to the Albany hospital to have an X-Ray photograph taken in an attempt to see if it could be found out what the cartridge contained. No late reports have been received. It is hoped that nothing dangerous will set in.

SINGLE SESSION PROPOSED FOR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL

It is suggested that the interests of the Altamont High school would be furthered by changing the two-session day to a single-session day, beginning at 9:30 a.m. and closing at 3 p.m., allowing at noon a fifteen-minute period for lunch.

1. The present lunch period is fatiguing. It is too short for the majority of resident pupils to cover the distance and from home and have sufficient time for a meal.

2. The carrying of lunches will furnish no new difficulty. At present, non-residents bring their lunches.
