NEW JOB UNCONSTITUTIONAL
County Controller Not Legal IN
Nassau, Says Lawyer.

,rbe office of County Controller In Nassau
Count, u,bicb was Instituted there under
the county law of the state IN NoNenioe'
1909. is unconstitutional Such' at leas''
Is the opinion OF Francis ". van 'ech'e"'
q lawyer. of No 100 William street "ho
was at one time counsel for the old Boaru
of SunervIsors OF Queens County.
Mr.. Van Vechten said yesterday that ne
had been asked by a client Of his. living
I'm Nassau County. to look into the fu'ies
and functions Of the new controller' eiec.eu
there for the first time In November i'iV'
In the course of his search he had coii'o
across Section 23i OF the county law WIN"
went into effect on May "a. 1909. ana pro-
vided that, on the filing with county
Clerk I'm any county petition signed py
number OF voters equal to AT least pe'
cent of the total vote cast Tor doNerhoi
at the last general election in that county
and asking that the ONCE OF con'roi'e'
be created. the County Clerk shouid pre-
pare question to be submitted to the voters
I'm substantially the following form: Sha'l
the office Of County Controller be crea'eu
In and for tho County Of.
Then the thought struck him that the
creation of an office, as phrased In the
act which lie had read. was purely Ies's-
lative function. The legislative power oi
the state, he explained. was vested oy .ne
constitution In Senate and an Assembly
and the courts had more than once ue-
cided that the Legislature could not deie-
gate to voters any legislative function.
Hence the creation of the office of County
Controller in Nassau County was at Vari-
ance with the constitution.
Mr. Van Vechten stated that he had In
formed his client Of his discovery but tIiat'
not being himself resident OF Nassau
County, he was not going to do anything
else about the matter. II was a matter lot

WOMEN TEACHERS WIN
FIGHT FOR EQUAL PAY
ut Is a Triumph" Says Grace
StraChan, President of the
Teachers Association.
EXPECTS BOARD TO AGREE
Men and Women To Be Paid Alike
During Three Years Proba-
ton, aS=d Equal Increment
to Follow Thereafter.

Women are at last to be recognized as
the equal of men in the New York pub
lie schools. A plan has been devised by
the committee on elementary education
of the Board of Education which not
only pleases the members OF the COM
mittee but has also passed muster at a
large meeting of the Interborough Asso-
citation of Women Teachers. The
women were so pleased by the plan that
they accepted it at once, and authorized
their officers to meet the president of the
Board of Education this morning and
tell him how fine they think il is
This means a complete victory for
the women" Miss Grace Strachan. presi-
dent of the teachers association, said
last night. 1T is exactly what we have
been fighting for for years, and have
spent thousands of dollars to secure. 1t
is a triumph. 1t means that we shall
start In with clean slate, and that
women will be admitted to the School
Department not only on exactly an equal
footing with men, but that their chances
for promotion and salary increase will
be the same"
The new plan was outlined yesterday
by Abraham Stern. chairman of the
committee on elementary schools. Mr..
Stern said the present system was en-
tirely wrong and uniustly discriminatory.
Under existing schedules a man started
in With Il yearly salary of $500, and
for three years had an annual increase
of 500. Women started at 5000 and
then got increases for these first three
years of only $40 a year. During this
period, which was one OF probation, the
work done by both was exactly the
same.

Would Cost S1O,O0O,0OO.

But it was pointed out to the teach
ers, Mr.. Stern said. that if women were
put on the same salary schedule the men
were under the expenses of the depart
ment would Immediately jump $1,000
900 or more. That such a figure would
he prohibtive and would never get by
the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
nized and new scheme was devised,
apparently suitable to everybody.
Under this new plan hereafter all
men and women alike appointed to tho
department will start in at 500 year
For the three years of their probation
there will be no increase. but If at the
end Of this time they get their perma-
nent licenses their pay will become $500,
with an annual increment yet TO be de-
termined This reduction in the amount
paid the men will offset the increased
amount TO be given the women, so the
budget will not be increased.
One OF the details of the plan provided
that men at present in the department
uUutI lllt olu SNltuuIt Sllpltlu III llp NlSt
be affected by the proposed change, but
should continue TO receive their present
compensation and increases. The JUS
tice of this provision was recognized by
the women and accepted 10y them.
one of the main concessions made by
the women was the agreement to favor
legislation eliminating from the charter
that section which validated all the old
Grade \ licenses in Brooklyn. This
would be great improvement. Mr..
Stern said. President methods of pro-
motion were in muddlc, owing to pro-
visions of law whereby licenses issued
fifty years ago and since then must be
recognized, and the holders entitled to
promotion. 1t was proposed to do away
with all licenses except such as had been
procured under competitive examination
since the passage of the new charter.
"OId Licenses Unimportant."
I've do not consider this question Of
the old licenses of very great Importance
any longer Miss Strachan said. "Our
association has spent thousands of dol
lars TO have them set aside. The MEM
hers of the association will not claim
their rights under them. Any one seek
ing TO enforce them will have to do it as
an Individual"
one of the chief objections that might
be brought forward against the plan,
Mr.. stern said. was that I'm these days
Of the high cost of living it would actu-
ally decrease a mans salary; but he
pointed out that no man now in the de-
partment would be affected. and that the
number to be affected was negligible
as last year there were only twenty men
appointed TO q teaching force of seven
teen thousand. and there were only half
dozen vacancies to be filled from an
eligible list of two hundred names.
The whole matter will be brought be-
fore the Board Of Education on March
22. and some definite action Is expected
at that time. Miss Strachan said she
felt confident there were enough mem
bers Of the board friendly TO the pro-
posed scheme to put it into effect. Mr.
stern said the personnel Of the board
changed so rapidly these days that he
could not tell how IT would stand on the
question.

Cochineai Scarlet.

II Is the opinion Of Leon Diguet.
who has been studying the state Of
the cochineal industry in Mexico for
some time, that before many years
have passed cochineal scarlet will
have become thing OF history only,
like the Tyrian purple of antiquity. l
wonder how many people are aware
OF the method Of manufacture Of this
well known dye. 1t is made from the
dried female OF the cochineal insects
(Coccus cacti. They are gathered by
brushing the branches Of the nopai
cactus, on which the insects feed as
soon as they begin to lay their eggs.
They are then desiccated In ovens or
filed with boiling water. It has been
estimated that one pound of cochineal
contains no fewer than 10000 distinct
insects. The color is brought out and
fixed by chloride of tin. Only few
plantations of the nopal cactus now
remain, hence the fear that the dye
will soon become q thing of tho past.
at any rate unless some other sub
stance Is found on which to feed the
insects.

Heated today for less than one hum
dred million dollars. With modern
machinery and the employment of 40,-
600 stone cutters, haulers, quarrymen.
masons and laborers duplicate of
the pyramid could be erected in two
years. E4
1t has been calculated that the
work really required the services of
100000 men for thirty years. The
Cheops pyramid occupies a space OF
12% acres and is 746 feet high and
contains 142,315,000 cubic yards Of
stone and granite. The material alone
represents an item of $36,O00,000
while the labor would increase this
amount by $72,O00,0O0. To this must
be added 100000 for tools, transpor-
tatlon and similar items. The pyra-
mid is built on a solid rock $50 feet
deep, and to build foundation of this
character would add to the cost to
the extent of making the total of
100000, 1000.

SOME HINTS ON SWEEPING

It Is not an easy matter to sweep

more harm than good generally results
from the use of 1t.
