SURE, BILL RoTHMANN'D LIKE
MISS HALEY SUPPRESSED
And He'd Like to Turn the Teachers
Pension Fund Over to Gang of
School Board Politicians, Too.

Bill Rothmann, chairman of the
school board finance committee, is
all het up because Margaret Haley
jumped on him about that teachers
pension bill.
And so Bill Rothmann says the
Chicago Teachers Federation has a
pernicious influence on the public
schools, and should be suppressed.
He says the organization is domin-
ated by Margaret Haley.
Not surprising at all that some
folks should want Margaret Haley
and the Teachers Federation sup
pressed 1t was under Margaret's eff
ficient leadership, as we remember it,
that Chicago school teachers made
some rich tax-dodgers pay their
taxes so the school teachers could get
living wages.
And if it wasn't for that teachers
organization, and Margaret Haley,
Chicago teachers today would be
about as well off as the girl clerks in
the department stores, owned by
some of our most prominent slave
drivers and tax-dodgers.
The present trustees of the pen
sion fund consist of the secretary
and two members of the board, and
six members elected by the teachers.
The bill favored by Rothmann wants
to change that so, the pension fund
trustees will consist of four members
of the board of education, the super
intendent of schools and the chair
man of the finance committee and
four members of the active teaching
force.
AS it stands now the teachers con-
troll by vote of 6 to 8. Under the
proposed law the politicians on the
school board would control the fund
by a vote of 6 to 4.
Margaret Haley is right. Bill
Rothmann is wrong. The teachers
are foolish if they let the politicians

SOME HELPFUL HINTS
ABOUT LAUNDERING CLOTHES

Soap is one OF the most important
requisites. OF this there should be kept
on hand three kinds-a neutral soap, a
regular laundry soap, and a strong soft
soap. Besides these soaps. 1t is well to
have borax and ammonia ready to use
when necessary. There are some wash
ing powders which are excellent agents
for removing the dirt from heavy ar
ticles, such as blankets. and are HARM
less, but unnecessary, for lighter pur-
poses.
A boiler is indispensable to some wom-
en-, but useless to others. II will be found
that the clothes are usually whittier II
boiled properly, but they should be well
washed and the soiled parts should be
wen soaped before boiling. There are
many things to remember about boiling
which viii be told In this column later.
A boiler, then, should be chosen ac-
cordtng to your wishes. TO nit your stove,
neither too large nor too small. The
best boilers are made OF tin, with a cop
per bottom.
Blueing is another matter OF choice. 1t
Is well to have this on hand. however
Blueing is sold in little balls. which
must be wrapped in a cloth bag and
swished through the water or in liquid
form. Care must be exerted in the use
Of both forms. and there is very little
difference between them In the effect pro-
duced.
The washboard should be selected with
an eye to its angles. II II be too much
corrugated 1t will be found that the
clothes will soon wear out. A wooden
washboard Is less harmful to the clothes
than any other kind. but is unpleasant
to use. The metal or glass-covered
boards are really the best for constant
usage. and win do the materials little
injury IL they are not rubbed too hard.
A wringer will save the clothes much
wear and tear, but. unfortunately. most
of the stationary tubs of the city fats
are so arranged as to make the adjust
ment OF wringer impossible.
There are several varieties of irons
The old-fsshioned fiatirons with handles
attached are the best to hold the heat,
but are rather unwieldy. as they must
be used with cloths to prevent burning
the hands. The patented irons. which
have the detachable wooden handles, are
easier on the hands, but do not retain
the heat so well. There are other irons
especially used for futing and frilling.
but these are unnecessary In the ordi-
nary household. Wax balls should be
kept on hand to grease The irons

farce in three acts by Carlisle Moore,
made its initial bow to New Workers at
the Gayety Theater.
It Is one of those comedies whose cumu-
iatlve situations pyramid one upon the
other until they seem about to crush the
play under the weight of impossibility,
when. by a stroke of ingenuity, the su-
thor solves the mystery and brings
about a happy termination. Every one
has seen productions Of this order. and
every one, including producers, are Of
the opinion that they form the best me-
dunn for projecting laughs into the
mouths Of the audience and deducting
currency from that same much-abused
body. In line OF the spirit of the times.
Mr.. Moore has built his farce about bur-
glars, sneak thieves. and pickpockets.

Theater on Wednesday night. 1t was

The play was remarks BILE because it
sought interest through roles which por-
trayed characters long passed the first
hush OF youth. romance, and chivalry
when strange things may happen.
Miss Effie Shannon played the erst-
while widow with a charm that at once
won the heart of her audience, and Lyn

performance in the role of the cos-uo-
politan who won her hand. Throughout
the play Mr.. Belasco had lavished his

USING A WHISTLE
TO CALL CHILRDEN

In order to call the children when they
were playing on the street or out of
sight of the house one woman bought
a five-cent whistle and arranged a code
by which each child knew his own
particular call.
William was to come in when one
sharp blast was heard. Mary when there
was one short and sharp. while John
had long and a short call from the
whistle.
Three short blasts meant that all the
children were wanted.
After having heard the woman strain
ing her lungs while trying to gain the
child's attention every family in the
neighborhood blessed the moment when
she bought the WHISTLE
