The Teachers Movement for Better
Salaries-The Assistant Teachers Associa-
ton of Baltimore county, the object of which
is to try to bring about an increase of the sal
aries of assistant teachers met at the State
Normal School last Saturday. The members
were addressed by Mr.. r. K. Wood, of Spar.
rows Point, member of the State Board of
Education, Mr.. William lowering and others.
The speakers were of the opinion that the
salaries paid the assistant teachers, which
range from 1920 to $3.50 year, are too small,
and Mr.. lowering said that he carried in his
pocket all the time one of the copies of the Pc
tition to be presented to the County Commits
sioners within the next few weeks and to which
signatures are being obtained favoring an in
crease in pay. This he handed to everyone
whom he met, he said.
Hundreds of signatures have already been Sc
cured from members of the several county i'm
provement associations and prominent men.
The teachers favor a schedule making the
minimum salary $500 and $500 after six years
service. Several ofthe principals in the county
have stated, it is said that if any raises are to
be made the assistants should be the first to
benefit.

ADMINISTRATIVE FEATURES.

=, The bill markssa distinct departure
In that II provides for q corporation
tar and a court OF customs. The cor
poratiou tax. while yielding q large
amount OF revenue. Is primarily de-
signed for the purpose Of governmen-
tai regulation OF corporations. and 1t,
will have this effect.
The fact that the amount Of the tax
to be assessed was lowered from 2 per-
cent to per cent Is considered by the
members Of congress to evidence clear
ly that the bill has regulation for It's
object and not merely revenue.
The customs court of appeals will
further scenfralize the national govern
ment. ana II win place the Intricate

ton OF the law and the facts respect

which will sit In Washington. and the
members Of which will be appointed
BY the president.
For the purposes Of the operation OF
this court the country has been divid-
ed into nine customs judicial districts.
While many items in the bill show
revision downward. II will as a whole
provide for an increased revenue. con-
tinuing In general effect the Repub-
lican policy Of protection.
Retaliation MsssursssF
Governmental measures of retalia-
ton against countries which do not
make tariff concessions to the United
States are amply provided for. Maxi
mum and minimum provisions enable
q higher rate Of tax to be imposed on
the products Of these countries than
would ordinarily have been the case.
The creation Of commission to look
Into the question Of the tariff from a
nonpartisan viewpoint is an innova-
ton that has been suggested for many
years. 1t Is generally looked on as a
move toward taking the tariff out OF
politics"
A policy long ago established by tar
IN makers I'm this country Is retained
In the new measure. 1t is the impos-
Ing Of particularly heavy duties on
luxuries.
The "dra wback" provisions are In
dicatlve Of a more kind hearted gov
ernmental attitude than had been con-
sidered probable. In brief. drawback
is refund Of duty moneys paid on
material imported into this country
which Is used In the manufacture Of
articles which are themselves exported
from this country.
The guiding spirit In the formula
ton Of the provisions OF the new meas
ure has been one to FIX duties that do
not necessarily encourage foreign I'M
pcrtation. but that render 1t impossible
for combination OF capital ia any
given line to raise prices above those
that now exist and to prevent them in
general from being further raised.
President Taft has taken particular
pains to point out this circumstance.
Competition that existed when the
Dingley bill was enacted has been
wiped out by the consolidation of com
panies and the combination of inter-
ests. President Taft renders the opin-
Ion that the Payne tariff bill will In
large measure restore the possibility
OF successful competition in the bust

The Fashion s
IBy Gathering Mann Payzant.l

[By Catherine Mann Payzantl
New York, Jan. 22.-The most
pronounced feature that character
ICES the winter modes is the high
waist line.
1t is not alone the empire and di-
rectoire influence that has brought
this about, but certain other infiu-
enceS are at work. The sheath-like
lines of the Greek modes demand
small hips and only certain types of
figures--the minority, too-can full
fill this obligation, so to overcome this
defect, so considered, the waist must
not be apparent. BY placing the gir-
die little higher than the normal
position, the effect is at least partial
ly obtained.
1t is true that every woman cannot
wear the high waist line, the at
tempts at it to the contrary. For
these women the princess or semi
princess should be assumed instead
as the long straight back. The panel
front and slightly curved sides makes
a far better model for the elderly, or
rge-proportioned woman.
For the slight figure the high
waist line is very becoming. The
skirts of such gowns are composed of
few pieces, sometimes there are only
two pieces; but more convenient
type has three portions with seam
in the back. The fitted top is care
fully arranged over bodice stay ex-
tending above the normal waist line,
finished with a narrow waist girdle.
Buttons covered with the material
will prove a timely decoration, and
simulated button loops should add
TO the feature.
In gown of wistaria satin cloth
the skirt had two pieces, the seams
being on the sides, but which opened
to a little above the knees, showing
a satin brocade panel beneath and
the sides of the panel ornamented
with buttons. The upper bodice is
of the surplice order ana is made eff
fective with a glimpse of lace and
tucked net in the same shade as the
gown. The edges of the waist and
oversleeves are finished with hand
some bands OF embroidery. Full

used for the under skirt and the net
was draped over it.. laid in small
tucks at the waist, falling in grace
full lines full about the feet and at
the bottom is a band of beautifui
hand-embroidery. The over-bodice is
lined with the same blue material as
the skirt 1t consists of low cor
sage with straps or bands passing ov-
er the shoulders and slashed at the
lower part, which gives the effect OF
tabs and shows to advantage the
beautiful underbodice of embroidered
net. The corsage bodice is covered
with the same embroidery that
adorns the skirt.
A princess mode that would make
Il pretty afternoon costume or with
a little change in the matter of neck
and sleeves would be pretty for even
ing wear A soft shade of mulberry

as it apparently adds to the height,
and narrow strips of velvet that de-
fine the waist start from each side
of the panel. OF course, there is
slight train as there is on all dresses
that in any way serve a dressy ap-
pearance and purpose. The body of
the dress is in jumper style mounted
on lining. so that the latter can
be faced with tucked net or lace and
the sleeves of the same are attached
to this lining Whether there is
high collar or short sleeves depends
upon the time of wearing and there
may be two underwaists if the dress
must serve different functions.
The long sleeve is the second
strong feature of the seasons modes.
l., . h.,
persist in liking the short sleeve. and
some-a few to be sure-of the i'm
ported gowns still come in the three
quarter length. The evening gown
goes without comment. and yet many
evening gowns to be worn at the op-
era have long net sleeves that can
give no warmth but are simply the
observance given to fashions man
dates.
Many gowns have the shirred or
tucked sleeve, while others show a
perfectly plain sleeve of some trans
parent material, the latter usually as
a caps to match the material of the
gown. Although sleeves may be long
or they may be short, there is for
each season the particular cut, and
great care should be taken in this
matter.
For business the seven-eighths and
long sleeve, especially the latter, are
in evidence. Nearly all the new tail
ored waists. those of silk and net and
even the lingerie waists come in this
style. For afternoon dressy wear the
short sleeve over net or lace under
sleeve is in evidence, and for even
ing wear the elbow or -eighths
is liked. The woman with pretty
arm still adheres to short lengths
and she who would hide poorly
shaped arm welcomes the long sleeve.
Skirts are fastened. trimmed or
have a sash on one side. in nearly ev-
cry case on the left side. All skirts
are sheath fitting, and not only the
skirts but the petticoats also, for in
no other way can the desired close
fit be obtained Indeed, all under
