It seems a shame to use good money

that\ a local dentist takes fve-dolIaT
gold pieces and melts them up for use

more convenient than 10 buy the manu-
featured plate, and that since he re
fines the coined gold himself. he Is GER
tain Of its purity.
There is s. worth OF gold in a s.
gold piece" he said and so there /.
no loss there. The coin is an alloy, OF
course, but there is only a small pro

TTRRACEWELL'S RULING
MAY HELP TEACHERS
Comptroller Holds Bailey
and Jackson Are Entitled
To Longevity Pay.

In deciding that H L Bailey, former
supervising principals OF the Thirteenth
division of public schools, and W. T.
S Jackson, former principal of the NJ
Street High School, both of whom were
reduced 10 the rank Of teachers in the
NJ Street High, are entitled 10 longevity
pay, the Comptroller of the Urea sury
has again raised in the mines Of the
District officials the question as to
whether scores OF teachers are entitled
TO like consideration.
Both the Comptroller and the District
courts have been asked 10 interpret the
meaning and effect of the following
amendment to the school act providing
for longevity pay for teachers:
That teachers hereafter emploved In
normal. high and manual training
schools. may be placed in group A, class
s, and receive their longevity Increase
according to their number OF years Of
experience in teaching in accredited
normal, high OF manual training high
schools.
The decision Of the Comptroller, which
was to the effect that the words ''here-
after employed" meant hereafter ap-
pointed seemed to bar the teachers al
ready employed from the BENEFITS of the
act. but an appeal 10 the District Su-
preme Court resulted in the overrulius
of the Comptroller's decision by Justice
Stafford. The case was appealed to the
Court of Appeals. where il is now pend-
ing. In his decision regarding Messrs
Bailey and Jackson the Comptroller
says,
For the purpose Of this decision.
think IL fair to hold that In order 10
make the reduction specified II was
necessary 10 retire the persons named
from the positions formerly held bv
them and 10 reappoint them to their
new positions. The fact that both the
retirement and appointment We're sim
ultaneOus could not make the operation
less than two Independent acts
The point raised By officials Of the
District is that under this decision
teachers in the high. normal. and man.
usl training schools have only to resign
and be reappointed in order TO receive
the benefit Of the longevity act

CITIES ENLARGING
 PORTS TO COMMERCE

NEW YORK, October D. Philadel- phia, Baltimore and Boston are bestir- ring themselves in behalf of the i'm provement of their port facilities, with view to increasing their share of che foreign and coastwise shipping trade of the country. This means drawing as much as they can away from New York, which appears to be regarding their sf- forts somewhat languidly, while loud complaints are made of the inadequacy of its facilities and the inordinate cost of making use of them In Boston last week there was a hearing before a spec ial commission inquiring into the su5- ject, at which there were enthusiastic advocates of the development of Dor chester bay, which contains much water. but no shipping, except yachts and pleasure boats One speaker, referring to the opportunities of development said:
 "There are the COW pastures, for ex- ample, thousands of acres at Squatam and a vast area along Neponset bay" and he declared that "there is terri tory in Dorchester bay to take care of all the import and export trade of the entire United States. Passenger trains could be brought to the docks to take passengers direct and carry them to any part of the United States The cream of the steamship passenger service would come to Boston.
