EVERHART Former Danclno lntructor Tell of Wedding to Widow Chnrles C. Mnrtel, a retired dancing tnnsttr of this city today confirmed a report of his murriagc to Mrs. George W, Kverhart, widow of n wealthy coal operator, who lived at the Hcllcvuo Strntford. "We were married out of town be tween Chrlstmns Day nnd New Year's Day," Mr. Mnrtel snid nt his home, 1800 North Fifteenth street. "It wns not an elopement. We have known each other for twenty years. I ncted ns Mrs. Kverhnrt's private secre tary for scvernl years. Wo went to Washington, Unltimore, New York nnd Atlnntic City on our honeymoon nnd will lente the latter part of this wiick or early next week for Florida." Mr. Martel was n widower. His first wife died sevcu years ago. He has a grown son, Charles E. Mnrtel. Tor n number of years Mr. Martel conducted a dancing academy on Ilrond street near Montgomery nvenue. The former Mrs. Kverhurt is n daugh ter of the lute John T. IHch, a woolen manufacturer of Woolrlch, Pn, Her first husband wns a son of the late John T. Kverhart, a pioneer co.il operntor of Pennsylvania. The bride's mother, be fore her marriage, wns Miss Mary I.eldy, member of a socially prominent family.

Mi's Mnrenret lulre, princlpnl of the McCnll Public- '.hoot, today vindi cated the Invnltv ol le men nnd women wno tencn in Atnri 'nn scnnois. wnicn wns nttacked csfp Jay In Washington at a meeting of the ,iccutlvc committee of the American I.efclon. Henry J. Kynn, of Hoston, chair man of the Americanism committee of the Legion, charged there were R0OO disloyal teachers ln the country. -000 of them being In colleges nnd universi ties. Mr. Hi an said there was no use campaigning "against the street corner radical, while school children nnd col lege nnd university students nro being taught bv dlsloynl Instructors." Miss Mngulre denied emphntlcnlly that seeds of disloyalty were being sown In American schools and colleges, ns the speaker charged. The principal of the McCnll School attends most itn isirtant educntionnl meetings through out the countrv. nml has had excellent opportunity to observe the' feelings of teachers of every grade nnd section. Calls Charge Absurd "The chnrge mnde nt Wnshlngton is nnsuru, mill Miss Magnire toiiay. "Teachers are feeling more stronglv to day than ever before the need of In terpreting life to their students in terms ot Americanism. "When )ou consider the work that American teachers. In schools of every grnde from the grammar school to the university, did during the war fnr their country, )ou can get some Idea of their loyalty. "I was In Ilnstnn myself quite re cently nt a meeting of tenchers. At thnt meeting almost every speaker stressed the iden thnt children must be made to sec how necessary it Is for them to do constructive work for their country. In the Inst year I hnve been at n great many teachers' meetings nil over the countr) . What I hnve seen nnd henrd there disprove absolutely nny inslnuntion thnt nny considerable number of tenchers In American schools are dlslo.Mil." Miss Magulrc said the only explana tion she could think of for the charge was that the exposition of radical doc trines ns part of college sociology courses might be misconstrued ns the advocacy of radicalism. "No such charges or evidence thnt nny of our tenchers are (IIhIiijdI have at any time colnc to my attention," wild Dr. Ocorire Wheeler, nctlnc sunerln tendent of schools. "If they had, It Is a certainty thnt Immediate action would l.nve been taken." Harry T. Stoddart, a member of the Hoard of Education, said: "Of course, there arc some difficulties that have stirred teachers up, such as the sntnry nucstlon. They mav nt times hnve ex pressed views not In nccordancc with those of the board, but dlslo)al, never. I have every confidence In the teachers of the city. They nre lojal and hnve remnlned so under trying conditions." Dr. .fnslah II. Pennlmnn, nctlng pro vost of the I'lilverslty of Penns)lvanln, snlil he hnd met with no Instances of disloyalty in his personnl contnets with college nnd university teachers. He said a pamphlet bad been Issued In I.os Angeles recently on the subject of "Making Socialists of College Stu dents." This pamphlet, he said, gnvc wnnt purported to !c tnstnnces ot the dissemination of radical doctrines In colleges.

It was a modest advertisement asking housewives to save their rags. But out of that modest beginning grew a busi' ncss that has never departed from the spirit of this first advertisement. It went right on making paper, just as good paper as it could make, and growing larger as the quality of its paper became known, until now its bond and bank note papers are so widely used that it is no exaggeration to call them the business papers of the world. These paper mills, almost as old as the United States, have never changed hands except as the business descended from father to son.
