City Attorney Makes This Point Very
Clear at Request OF Councilman
Jones'

In order to fcrtify himself with ma
terial upon which to base any reply
which he might have to make to
questions Councilman Jones has pro-
cured from City Attorney Pollard an
opinion concerning the proposed
ordinance creating committee from
Council and companion committee
from the citizenship, to discuss and
form an ordinance calling for an
amendment to the charter.
takes up many pages of foolscap pa
per. 1t was heavy for Mr.. Jones TO
carry, but he carried II about with
him and showed 1t to many people.
Mr.. Pollard. In few words, re-
iterates what he had already said.
that Council had right to name a
committee of citizens to act IN con-
junction with the Council committee.
but that the result of deliberations on
the part of the citizens committee
could not be acted upon the same as
that Of the Council committee.
In other words. the counciimen are
elected by the people to transact the
business of the city. They must do
this under the provisions of the char
ter. II citizens committee Is
named. that committee has as much
power In council as body OF citizens
who appear before committee Of
Council. Whatever paper the citizens
turn In to Council must be taken
under consideration and passed upon.
Mr. Pollard makes the matter very
clear in the following language:
II do not mean to say that the
Council is not without power to create
a commission composed Of persons not
members of the Council and impose
upon such commission, after duly
qualifying as such. that as officers
under the government, the duty OF
taking into consideration the aivisa-
biIity OF adopting q new form of gov
eminent and reporting to the Coun-
eli the result or their elaboration. for
I am satisfied that under section ~ Of
the charter they possesses such power.
1t ID to be borne in mind. however.
that such report would be laid before
the Council in the same manner ~
a report from any department OF the
city government not followed as in
the exercise OF their legislative dis
erection they deem best for the inter-
est az the city. =.

B. f. Moore. superintendent Of the
Muncie schools. speaking before the
Wayne county institute Of teachers
Saturday had the following to say ON
the teachers retirement law:
THE teachers occupation Is mi
grating occupation and all migrating
professions have been cared for by
pension laws with the exception Of the
teachers. There are four periods In
persons life and one of these is that
value to his employer and before he
dies. II we admit that pension sys-
tenn is valuable 1t becomes question
Of choosing the most advantageous
one.
There are four pension laws in
Indiana. l do not condemn the other
three but will concern myself wholly
with the State Teachers Retirement
Law
First. the law Is fair because 1t
levies like assessments on all teach.
ers and pays the same amount OF an.
nuities. The latter is sufficiently lib
eral to provide a comfortable living.
doing more than merely defraying ex.
penses Of board and lodging.
Secondly. the law 10 safe. The fact
that the state of Indiana is behind it
makes it an absolute guarantee. Any
one would nrefer to place their money
in the postoffice savings bank or the
state treasury rather than a private
bank II the amount Of interest was the
same.
Another commendable feature of
tho law fs tho fact that II navS an.
nuities for disability, the annuity
equalling the amount of the assess.
ment. The teachers are assessed for
the first fifteen years of service ten
dollars a year: for the next ten years
of teaching. twenty dollars year and
for the next ten years twenty-five dol.
lars a year; for the remaining years
of service up to and including the
fortieth year. the teacher Is assessed
twenty dollars year.

DIPLOMATS WATCH
FOR GREAT BRITAlN'S
REPLY TO US. Note

WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.-Easily ov-
ershadowing all other international
questions in importance. the probable
relations between the United States
and Great Britain growing out of the
American note, were today the subject
Of earnest discussion in state depart
ment and diplomatic circles. Now
that the United States has served no
tice on Great Britain that her course
in the past With reference to Ameri-
cas- trade with neutral nations has
been ''unjustifiable and illegal" a rep
etition by Great Britain of any Of the
practices against which protest has
been lodged could easily bring on u
crisis.
|" Having warned the British govern
ment of the law governing the seizure
of neutral shipping, tie over-hauling
by the British of another vessel bound
for a neutral port probably would lead
the United States to demand disavow-
al of the act and an immediate cessa.
! ton of such practices.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1915-11-09

The law also relieves the corpora
ton from making excessive levies for
sinking fund as guarantee for pay
ment of annuities and It also puts on
the time for providing public aid II
that be needed. II gives the corpora
ton ample time to adjust itself.
"One Of the most favorable points In
connection with the law Is that 1t re-
quires the corporation receiving the
services Of the teacher to make the
payment of the annuities.
THE law IL economical in manage
ment. The Board Of Trustees consist
ing Of five members 10 unpaid. The
members do not receive salaries. II
each unit had a board 1t would multi
ply the expense. ....-
There are more than $50 units
which have already come under the
provisions Of the law and 5000 units
in the state are eligible. The cities
are coming In because they see an
advantage in the law never offered
teachers before In Indiana. The cities
which have Joined are Muncie. Logans-
port. Lafayette. Marion, Madison, La
porte and vincennes.
Law Serves Tardy Justice.
The reasons that city or county
school should accept the law are. first.
because it is an act Of tardy justice to
the teachers. second. 1t will enable the
corporation to hold its good teachers
and secure better teachers from the
outside and fourth it will result In bet
ter and more efficient service a. II
will relieve the teacher Of the worry
and harassing nightmare which she
now suffers.
"Since 1t is optional why should the
individual teacher accept it? First, be.
cause 1t would be an evidence Of pro-
fessional interest. second, 1t would en-.
able her to hold her present place and
secure a better place il she desired to
move and fourth IL would enable her
to do her work more efficiently and
satisfactory to herself and to her EN-.
ployer."

Getting Rid of Blackheads
And Other Aids to Beauty

There is one simple. safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid OF
blackheads and that is to dissolve
them. To do this get about two ounces
OF plain powdered neroxin from any
drug store. Sprinkle a little on a hot.
wet sponge. rub over the blackhead,
briskly. wash the parts and YOU will
be surprised how the blackheads have
disappeared. Blackheads are simply
a mixture of dust and dirt and secre-
tons from the body that form in the
pores of the skin. Pinching and
squeezing only cause irritation. make
large pores and do not get them out
after they become hard. The powder
ed neroxin and the water simply dis
solve the blackheads so they wash
right out, leaving the pores free and
clean and In their natural condition.
A soft, velvety complexion is the
envy of every woman. and any woman
can have her hearts desire II she will.
before retiring every night. wash the
face. arms and neck with plenty of
good soap and warm water, dash on
cold water. dry thoroughly. and then
apply freely q cream lotion made by
dissolving one ounce OF powdered zin-
tone in a pint of hot water. This will
give to the complexion that soft, vel
vety appearance SO much admired and
sought.
Women troubled with excessive per
spiration in the armpits and other
parts OF the body can easily overcome
this embarrassment by using a little
hydrolized talcum on the parts. This
simple powder will Immediately de-
stroy all body odors and control per-
SEPARATION. 1t certainly will solve the
soppy dress shield problem.-Adv.

count OF the enormous yield being too
great for the market facilities orchard
owners will. no doubt, allow thousands
OF bushels Of apples to rot on and un-

than attempt to sell them in the local
market for the pittance they would
bring.
