TEACHERS DEMAND
INCREASE IN PAY
Township School Teachers
Say They Do Not Make
Living Expenses.

It is practically decided among the
teachers of the county to adopt reso-
lutions advocating an increase in the
monthly salary of the county school
teacher. The increase is an absolute
necessity, the teachers say, so they
may meet their living expenses and
properly prepare themselves for their
work.
At the present time the minimum
wage of the county school teacher is
about SAG a month. OF this amount
500 is required for board. There are
other expenses so that the country
school teacher who has passed an ex-
animation with an average grade of
$50 and professional training of
twelve weeks perhaps will have as
much as 500 during the eight months
of hard work This is the reason why
there are so few applicants this year
Wayne county was short twelve teach
ers until last week when the July ex-
animation was held.
County Superintendent Williams has
been working for increase in county
teachers pay for some time, and it is
now believed a bill will be passed
through the legislature which will
provide for an increase in the mini
mum wages of the country teachers.

How to Get Rid of Dandeliens.

There are two ways of opening the
campaign against the dandelions this
summer. One is to cut them out by
hand, and the other and more mod
ern method is to spray the weeds with
copperas. an iron sulphate. says Sub
urban Life.
If you cut the plants out by hand II
IS necessary to cut we'll below the
crown with long. sharp knife. 1t is
claimed by weed experts that the
weeds do not propagate from the roots
as much as from the crown.
To use the iron sulphate or copperas
dissolve one and one-fourth pounds of
salt to gallon of water and apply to
the lawn with a spray pump. Cover
the lawn thoroughly. There will be
no injury to the grass. In couple of
weeks apply the spray again and re-
peat the operation in fortnight after
that
The grass appears black after treat
ment, but after being cut once as
sumes a really richer shade of green
than formerly.

He Needed Time.

Henry Guy Carleton. the playwright.
suffered something fearful. At one
time he was lieutenant in the army
and used to give his orders in quick,
high pitched voice and always ended
with a squeak. One day a new drill
sergeant was on duty who repeated
Carleton's orders in the same high
pitched voice and didn't forget the
squeak, either.
Carleton turned upon him and splut-
tered: "Be-c-c-ause III have g-gg-o-t
an im-ln-pediment in m-my sp-sp-
peech. that's mono treason y-you
s-shoul-uld have one in y-your-ur BIB
brain"
Daniel Frohman tells a story about
Carleton which is amusing. 1t seems
that Carleton had been writing Mr..
Frohruan internationally in regard to a
play Of his. and as it was before he
becaNe famous the manager paid but
slight attention to him. One day he
happened to meet Carleton on Broad
way and Henry Guy called to him:
II s-say, M-m-mister F-F-Frohman. if

pare I-I-I'd l-l-like tito t-t-talk to Wy

How to Mako a DustIess Dustsr.

A number of advertised dust
downs" "dustless sweepers." mo
dusts." are on the market, using as an
active principle the combination of
sand or wood fiber and oils. Sand or
fiber acts more or less as a hindrance
in the sweeping Of heavy carpets or
rugs, but this sand is the medium for
carrying the oil, hence must be there
If the oil is there. Oil is really the mo
dust" But, with much less expense
and with no chance Of sand or saw
dust remaining in the texture or crew
Ices of flooring, paper can be torn into
bits, moistened by wringing out of
water and sprinkled on carpet or rug.
Just sufficient moisture remains to
hold the dust on the paper. while in no
way is there enough moisture to dull
or fade the colors of the rug This
paper with its burden Of dust is easily
burned.

DISHWASHING.
How to Make Usually Unpleasant Task
Agreeable.

Agreeable.
Dish washing, which is probably the
most disliked of all household tasks,
may be made a very pleasant bit OF
work If the proper preparation is made.
First there should be generous sup
ply of towels. and it will be found best
never to use a dish towel more than
once without laundering.
There should be more than one kind
OF wiping cloths used. according to
the nature OF the dishes. Soft glass
toweling should be used for the glass
and linen crash for the other pieces.
For washing more variety is reQuir-
ed. There should be a mop for use
on deep articles. a soft cloth for fine
ware. a heavy one for ordinary dishes
and a wire dishcloth for iron ware or
cooking utensils
OF course there should be plentiful
supply Of hot water. good soap, am
monia or borax, If the water is hard,
and two pans. one for the washing
and the other for rinsing. with wire
tray or basket to drain.
For the washing fill the pan half
full OF pleasantly warm water. omit
tin soap for the glasses and adding
Instead a little boraH or ammonia.
making sure that glasses containing
milk have been thoroughly rinsed be-
fore putting into hot water. as il will
be impossible to get'them clear other
wise
Wipe the glasses without letting
them drain. as draining is apt to make
streaks. Cut glass needs a soft but
firm brush. as il cannot be kept clean
with ordinary washing.
Silver will not need rubbing so often
II little borax is added to the water
in which it is washed. and 1t should
not stand to drain, but be wiped as
soon as taken from the water.
Cooking dishes which have been I'LL
ed with cold water as soon as emptied
will be found easy to wash. If food
has been let burn in n utensil, il filled
with water to which a little I've or
considerable soda has been added. you
will find most of the blackness has
vanished.
When the dishes have been washed
then put all the cloths through a wash
and hang to dry in the air where the
sunlight may find and sweeten them,
as it is not possible to keep dishcloths
wholesome unless so treated.
And IL you value the health and
comfort of your family you will OBJ
serve this Injunction about the dish.
cloths, as it is quite possible for ty-
phoid and other germs to lurk in dish
cloths which are carelessly laid aside
for next occasion.

HOW TO CARRY BAGGAGE.
Women With Their Many Pretty
Clothes Find Travel Most Difficult.

Women With Their Many Pretty
Clothes Find Travel Most Difficult.
Porters not being such a cheap COM
modify in this land as abroad. the
American woman has a rooted objec-
ton to travelling with much hand lug
gage.
II possible she carries nothing but
her hand bag or a small satchel and
fights shy Of an umbrella whenever
the skies give her half a chance.
This is well enough for a short trip,
but is out of the question when one
must be gone several nights or must
carry enough clothes to do for week
end party.
In buying bags make Hghtness the
chief essential. Sacrifice looks to light
weight and where two bags are equal
~ stylish choose that Of fewest ounces.
The wicker suit case is boon to the
woman who travels alone. Even here
there Is a difference of weight. See
that the frame Is strong, but get the
highest weight bag you can find. Bet
ter get a cheaper one and buy often
rather than one with trimmings and
straps of leather to add to your load.
Often there is not time to get bag
checked, and it must be carried.
In such event dispense with frills, es-
pecially unnecessary toilet silver. The
sensible woman who goes away often
for few days lays in supply Of
white celluloid brushes, combs, mirror
and other necessaries and keeps them
in her suit case. When marked with a
monogram in black or dark blue they
are far from ugly and have the ad-
vantage of being light.
For checking purposes it is well to
keep a leather suit case of largest size
These cases hold a surprising amount
and are easily handled without dam
age to your friends walls.
Where a girl is going to a house
party for a few days and must have
an evening gown upon her arrival she
should have 1t and it's accessories
packed in pasteboard box, neatly
wrapped and provided with wooden
handles. This is easily carried with
a satchel, and the dress can be packed
in a trunk or expressed home ON re-
turning.
Hats are the chief difficulty in trav-
cling. Most of them are too large to
go in a trunk or even in the hat trunk
and must be carried. 1t is not uncom-
mon to see women "toting" huge flow
cred boxes in addition to bag and UNI
brella.
These are less heavy than clumsy,
but it is well to have box that will
just fit the hat. These boxes are gen
orally unwrapped, as the Powered sur
face Of the box shows what they are
and does not give the impression of
carrying home a wash.

"The Young Wife,"

1.-The Young Wife" is to be present

play once more for a charitable pur-
pose. The husband thought she de-

ashamed of his actions he sends her a
new violin, being compelled to steal
the money to purchase same. She re-
turns home, and with the proceeds
from the concert tour makes good the

How to Embroider ScaIIops.

Before beginning to embroider the
edges of towels outline the edge Of
the scallops with a small stitch done
on the sewing machine. The button
holing covers the stitching perfectly
and gives a very firm edge that is I'M
obtainable in any other way. When
padding scalloped edges for toweling
use tiny rolls Of raw cotton instead of
the usual darning cotton. This is sew
ed in place with fine thread. 1t makes
a very satisfactory and thick padding.
