as men doing similar work and finally
they won out. But the victory has not
been altogether without it's drawbacks.
Heretofore, because Of the difference
in salaries demanded, the tendency
has been to exclude the men in favor
of the women wherever possible.
Now. however. the salaries being
equal, the ONE find themselves diff
ferentiated against whenever men
teachers are procurable. The number
Of the latter, however, is limited, and
not very many women find themselves
excluded from the better positions.
Out of the campaign for the passage
of the equal pay bill have grown many
charges of the corrupt use Of money.
At the hearing held in New York
Miss Strachan stated that the women
had spent 100000 to bring about the
passage Of the equal pay law. Miss
Strachan denies that any OF this money
was paid to influence legislation. Most
of 1t went to lawyers. On the other
hand Owen Behan has been charged
before the grievance department of the
Bar association with having raised a
corruption fund to further legislation
for the men teachers.

IN AGONY WITH ITCHING

About four years ago I broke out
with sores on my arms like boils. Az
ter two months they were all over my
body. some coming, and some going
away. In about six months the boils
quit, but my arms, neck and body
broke out with an itching, burning
rash. 1t would burn and itch, and
come out In pimpIes like grains OF
wheat. I was in a terrible condition;
! could not sleep or rest. Parts OF my
flesh were raw, and / could scarcely
bear my clothes on. I could not lie
in bed in any position and rest. In
about a year the sores extended down
70 my feet. Then I suffered agony
with the burning. itching sores. l
could hardly walk and for a long time
l could not put on socks.
"All this time I was trying every
thing l could hear of, and had the skill
Of three doctors. They said II was
