TEACHERS AND STREET LABORHRs

Women who teach in American public schools re-
ceive lower salaries in the average than city street
cleaners California pays such teachers higher salaries
than any other state in the Union
These facts are disclosed in an exhaustive report
made last week to the National Educational associa-
tion in session at Asbury Park N j. The preparation
of the report ordered the meeting of the assoca
tion in Boston two years ago. It furnished quite
recently and the data gathered in It A large volume
In only four cities of the United States do the lowest
wages paid to elementary school teachers equal the
lowest wages of street aborers in the cities.
Chicago, Washington Columbus, Ga, and Meridian,
Miss, have that notable distinction. In all other
American cities the vocation Of street sweeping is
more lucrative than that of teaching in elementary
schools This comparison is based yearly earnings,
of course and takes into the teachers loss Of
salary in vacation time. Concerning the cities above
named, II should be stated that in Columbus and
Meridian the street cleaners negroes. The report
says, cynically that the fact thus noted probably
plains the comparatively good fortune of the teachers
Of statistics is given in the report showing
the relative salaries and wages Of teachers and street
cleaners respectively. Some of the figures aston
shing in respect to the miserable pance received by
teachers few examples will demonstrate
The report states that "in San Francisco Of the
most liberal of all cities in school matters the ee-
mentary teacher begins $500 the street cleaner
$780, Seattle teacher gets $3.50 the street
broom welder $6S75O But California, remarked at
the outset exceptionally liberal to teachers In New
Haven, home of Yale university, the street sweeper
gets 1884 and the elementary teacher only $500. In
Burlington Vt the street gets $3.50 and the
teacher a starvation stipend Of $216.
The teachers lot is not happy one" in the matter
of compensation received for the hardest kind of work.

CALIFORNIA; POLITICAL WAYS

Governor Pardee's eagerness for a second term as
disclosed indirectly by himself and directly by his close
political friends, again calls attention to anomaly
that is discussed periodically in California That is
the wide sweep of the political tide that is apt to
between national and a state election.
Taking the figures of the last presidential election
guide it would seem like folly to nominate Demo-
cratic candidate for governor next year California
is relatively the banner state of the Republican party
with a vote record of 2O5226 to S9,404.
But the record farther back shows that California
is not reliable Republican state by any 1t
shows that the voters of this state not politically
hidebound that they vote the Republican ticket the
right or wrong hit miss principle. Governor Pardee
and his leutenants fully cognizant of that fact.
They know by experience that a tidal in presi-
Dental election may be followed by extreme ebb
two years later
Our esteemed Republican contemporary at the state
hub the Sacramento Union has this to say the
ject in question:
"While in the last two national elections we have
given extraordinary maoriies to the Republican party
the Republican candidate for governor barely pulled
through the last election while nearly important
city of the state is organized antiRepublican
basis"
BY way of explanation the Union states that "the
mayors chair of San Francisco is occupied by Labor
Unionist Sacramento has Democratic mayor Fresno
has independent, who is said to be Democrat in
Stockton the mayor is Republican, but city
trustees out of eight Democrats" And the Union
might have added that prior to the beginning of this
year Los Angeles had Democratic mayor in two
cessive terms.
These facts lead the Republican exponent at the
capital to the conclusion that there is loose
a broken cog in the machinery OF the grand old
party" in this state 1t says
Something is wrong with the Republican party when
in city after city where the majority of voters Repub
lcans, Democratic mayors persstently elected;
either the system of party organization is faulty the
party discipline is weak the party has gotten itself
into alliances of sort another fatal to It's local
success"
The wide sweep of popular sentiment in Califor-
MIA illustrated in the anomaly here noted, reflects
the good and sound Judgment of the average
The average California voter cannot be bound, Ixion-
like eyer.revolving wheel He will accept no ready
made conclusions, handed out by poptical BOSSES He
does his thinking and when the proper time
he does his voting regardless of political machines

Old Wine Makers
Sansevine was one of our we'll known
wine makers in those days. His manu-
factory stood where Maier & Zobelein's
brewery now stands. One of its dis
tinctive features was an immense old
sycamore tree-probably the largest in
Southern California, which the brew
cry people found 1t necessary to re-
move a few years ago. He was an
agreeable and able old Frenchman,
and managed to contribute to the pleas
ures of his fellow citizens as well as
to accumulate a good bank account. ,
Vince Hoover, whose name will be
recalled by old timers, was well
known vigneron on modest scale
within the city limits, He made
very palatable wine and was a genial
entertainer. He was a brother of Mrs.
Briggs and an uncle of Mrs. j. Gran
vile MacGowan. His lands are now
solidly built upon.
1t would hardly be fair to dismiss
these old timers without a reference to
Don Jose Mascarel, whose death is of
comparatively recent occurrence, and
whose experience goes many years
back. He made and sold wine and ac-
cumulated large fortune, often TAX
ing a public spirited part in public.
The celebration of the Fourth in Cen
trail park naturally calls attention to
the fact that this pleasure ground was
given to the city by an eccentric old
German called "Round House George"
At this writing cannot recall his
patronymic. He built circular house,
which stood for years at the southwest
corner of Sixth and Spring. The rea-
son he alleged for building it round
was that the devil might never be able
to corner him in 1t. In that fabric was
sold the first glass of lager beer ever
vended in Los Angeles.

that the capacity of congested street

There would be also, the Electrical
Review thinks, saving in time and an
increase of the tonnage or freight per
vehicle. Street cleaning would be less
necessary and the wear and tear and
noise would be less. But Chicago has
evolved an even better device-subter-

Tangier Is most fascinating at

II the musicians sing well. q wealthy

THE JEWELRY OF THE HOUR
Coral to the Fore Again-Much Color
Noticeable in Chains and
Necklaces.

The chain Of the hour, whether ipbe
Of finest gold or Of cheapest plate, sug-
gests savage garishness in its treatment.
In the matter Of beads, coral leads all
corners. A four-foot string Of coral
chips can be bought for so cents, and
they are just now in great demand in
the department stores. A real coral
chain has in the center the largest
bead, measuring half an inch in diam
eter, and the beads become smaller
toward the back. In the correct rose
tint such q coral necklace costs $3.50.
Both the very deep and the very pale
coral are cheap; the highest priced is
the medium tint The coral appears also
as q slide, used to connect groups Of
links in gold, silver and gunmetal. The
long chains Of imitation coral are I'm
ished with tassels, and are knotted in
stead Of being connected by q clasp.
The very best chains do not have the
tasseled ends, but are Of continuous
rope in gold, sterling silver or gun
metal, set rather closely with jewels to
match the gown. The topaz studded
chain is particularly desirable for wear
with the new shades Of brown cloth, and
amethysts are liked for wear with the
velvet IN this somewhat trying shade.
Ropes Of pearl beads braided close
ly, 30 that they measure half an inch
In diameter, are finished with tasseled
ends, the tassel built of small pearl
beads and attached to the chain by q
dragons head In gold. A new stone for
the chain slides IL onyx In robins egg

MAKE GEMS FROM QUARTZ.
Rock Crystal, Purest Form Of That
Stone, Employed in Manufae-

Diamond cutting up to q recent time
was nearly all done abroad, Holland
being the chief center Of the industry
for some centuries, but Of late good
deal Of 1t has come over to America,
where electrical machines are used In

ways. European work has always
