TALKS FROM WINDOW LEDGE.
Former President Taft Tells How
Men Lose Grip in Philippines.

NEW YORK, December 22.-Former
President William Howard Taft stood on
a window ledge in the Bedford Branch of
the Young. Mems Christian Association
i'll Brooklyn yesterday. and told q crowd
of 800 persons that he had seen many good
men go down to hell in the Philippines
because they lacked home training and
when they ''got a tired feeling they
found a dash of Scotch reached the
right spot
When Mr.. Taft got to the building he
intended to do all his speaking inside, but
only 1000 had found seats or standing
room, and there were nearly 1000 outside
who they expressed SO much disappoint-
ment that he suggested talk from the
window. When this had been opened he
found he could talk with more effect if he
stepped outside. Afterward he spoke to
those within.
After he had referred to the liquor
danger the speaker said to his, mind one
great value of the Y. NJ. C. 4. lies in
the fact that it gives men a substitute for
liquor and reaches the right spot in
men.

BURGLARS STEAL FURS
I. FR0M'H STREET STORE
]. N. Gliding & Co. Robbed of -Four
Valuable Sets-Other Thefts
Reported.
By Heath

A glass panel broken from a front door
at the store of ]. M. Gliding G. Co, 1910
II street northwest, enabled burglars to
enter the store and carry away four sets
of furs valued at $l.120 without attract
ing attention. The burglary, the police
were told, was committed between Satur-
day night and this morning, and it was
not discovered until an employee of the
firm reached the store today.
1t is thought by the police that the
robbery was committed last night. Had
the glass been broken Saturday night
the police say, it would have attracted
attention yesterday. Detectives today in
vestigated the robbery and were furnish
ed descriptions of the stolen property.
The burglars could easily have taken
much more property. the police say, but
it is possible that they were frightened
away.

MAKES PLEA IN BEHALF
OF uGHHOUSE' CREWS
Commissioner Putnam Recommends
Higher Pay-Annual Leave for
Per Diem Employees.

Better working conditions for those who
help in the maintenance of aids to navi-
cation is recommended in the annual re-
port OF George r. Putnam. the commits
Sioner of lighthouses, just made public
He proposes that the Secretary of Com
merce should be authorized to increase
the pay of crews of lighthouse vessels as
may be necessary to obtain competent
service, and also that employees of the
service engaged at per diem rate should
be granted fifteen working days leave of
absence per year? The commissioner re-
news his recommendations for legislation
authorizing the retirement of employees of
the lighthouse service on account of age
or disability incident. totheir work. This,
he declared, is the practice in the light
house services of most other countries
Increase in Facilities.
During the year there has been an in
crease in the number of aids to naviga-
ton, and in many instances the old aids
were improved. Wick lamps have been
gradually replaced by incandescent oil
vapor installation at many stations, the
report says. These new lamps produce
a brighter and more efficient light, which
has proved satisfactory to mariners and
has ELECTED favorable comment from
them Until recently. the report further
states. it has been necessary to procure
all the cut glass lenses used in the light
house service from abroad. but recently
American manufacturers have produced
lenses which are equal to those purchased
abroad, having also the important fea-
ture that the prisms are formed by ma
chimes instead of by hand, thereby MAX
ing parts Interchangeable.
Service More Efficient.
The efficiency of the lighthouse sery-
ice has been increased by the reorganiZa-
ton which was perfected during 1913, in
the opinion of the commissioner. He be-
lieves that under the new arrangement
the work is more economically performed.

Work Grows Three-Fold.

within the three years from July 1.
reau has increased more than three-fold.
with an increase of only 20 per cent in
appropriation. With the present appro-
priation and equipment the bureau can
attempt to do only a small part
of the work for which il was established
and for which there is urgent demand. In
my estimates submitted for the year 1915
] have included increases in the staff and
salaries. the necessity of which should
he impressed upon Congress"
The estimates provide for necessary in
creaSes in salaries: for an assistant COM
missioner, who should also be a special
list in secondary education, and should
serve as the chief OF high school division
of the bureau: for additional specialists
and clerks in higher education, including
universities, colleges, schools of technol-
ogy. schools of professional education and
normal schools. with particular emphasis
on the need of specialist to devote his
entire time and attention to the colleges
OF agriculture and mechanic arts for me-
groes in the southern states. for a conSid-
cradle increase in the appropriation for
the investigation of rural education, in
dustrial education and school hygiene. the
present appropriation of $4,000 being
wholly inadequate for this purpose: for
the investigation of city school admins
tration and education in city schools,
which work the bureau is at present able
TO do only in the most nleager and unsat-
isfactory way: for the investigation of the
education of exceptional children. for
which there Is an urgent demand, but for
which the bureau now has no appropria-
ton.

BUREAU OF EDUCATION
LOSES IT'S SPECIALISTS
Commissioner Claxton Urges In
creased Salaries Upon
Congress.
More Funds Also Declared Neces-
sary Properly to Garry on
Investigations.

Declaring there is need of regarding
and increasing salaries in the bureau
of education, Commissioner Claxton In
his annual report just made public
recommends that the necessity OF the
increase be urged upon Congress He
asks money with which to make more
Investigations into the educational Ia
cilities of the country, and declares
that without the additional funds the
bureau will be handicapped
The salary of the chief clerk. he
says, rs now the same as that fixed by
the act creating the bureau March 2,
1867. His duties require unusual quail
fications and the salary should be in
creased TO not less than $4,000. Dur
ing the fiscal year for which this state
ment is made three of the seven spe-
cialists in the bureau resigned to &C
cept administrative or teaching posi-
lions in leading colleges and universe
ties at salaries much larger than they
received from the bureau. AS hong as
the scale of salaries remains as low
as 1t is at present, the bureau cannot
hope to retain the services of capable
specialists. The nature of the work to
be done by these specialists is such
that IL had better not be attempted at
all than not done well.
