NOT CHANGED BY BLUE LAW.
Colonial Beach Sunday Customs Re-
main as Heretofore.

Whatever may have been the effect of
the blue law enforcement in Virginia
Sunday last. Colonial Beach excursion

say they saw no change in the conduct

quiet, the law officers of the town did
not interfere with the legitimate pleas

ing. took a sail o nthe river and other
wise enjoyed themselves as they had
been accustomed to do.
1t is stated the officials at Colonial
Beach take the. position that what is
meant by the custer law is not clearly
defined and that before taking any
steps that might interfere with the
pleasure of the summer visitors to the
resort they will await decisions of the
state courts on the subject For the past
year or longer the regulation regard
ing the closing Sundays of stores SELL

Il believe it would be a good thing
for some sections Of the city," said
Commissioner Louis Brownlow when
asked his opinion as to whether or not
Washington should have municipal fy-
traps. such as are in use in ST. Louis.
Mr.. Brownlow. who has just return
ed to Washington from attending the
democratic national convention at ST.
Louis as delegate, said he did not
see any of the traps while he was in
the Missouri CITY. but he thought such
as are in use there, as illustrated in

TEACHERS PENSIONS
SUBJECT OF REPORT
Growth of Movement Discussed by
Official of the Founda-
ton,

Growth of the movement for pensions
for teachers in public schools Is ols-
cussed in the tenth annual report Oh
the president and treasurer of the Car
negie Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching. just issued. the report
points out that twelve states, Connec-
ticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan
Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and
Washington, have considered the estao-
lishment of state pensions for pubic
school teachers since the previous re-
port of the foundation. In eight OF
the states named pension systems were
established, the proposition failing in
Connecticut Iowa, Pennsylvania and
Washington.
Extract From Report.
The report says. in part:
THE development of pensions for pub
lie school teachers goes on apace. State
after state is beginning to recognize
that it cannot lag behind its neighbor
if it is to retain it's teachers. The
realization is spreading rapidly that
teachers are underpaid. that the de-
mands on the little that they earn are
great, that for their present peace OF
mind some provision must be made TO
assist them in the future. that a pension
system tends to secure stability in pro-
fession. and SO on. And in addition to
the many sound and generally accepted
arguments for pensions there are also
injected tragic and pathetic appeals to
save the old teacher from the poor
house. and. as in the folder issued in
the Michigan campaign. help her to live
in comfort and retirement on $500
year. 1t is interesting to notice
throughout the campaigns for pensions
during the past year that the press
has, on the whole, been favorably i'm
pressed with the arguments OF the
teachers. Here and there opposition
found some voice; in general the OBJ
lection in such cases was that IL
teachers cannot save for old age out of
their present salaries ii would be
preferable to raise the salaries rather
than to legislate special benefits for a
favored class The success of all. but
two Of the agitations for teachers pen
siohs, however, indicates that the OPP
position was not taken very seriously"

KNElSEL QUARTET HEARD
Program of Chamber Music Excel
lently Presented at Witherspoon

The fine organization Of musicians
known as the Knesel Quartet returned
to Philadelphia last night in its first
program of the season at Witherspoon
Han. The kneisels are now the only
travelling quartet to come to this city.
and not even the excellence Of the local
organizations can make them entirely
dispensnble.
Last night the characteristic qualities
of their playing We're all fully in evidence
one can never say of them. as one SAYS
of the Flon2aleys, that they are one. but
II must be said that they can md an
astonishing unity i'm spite Of their divers
ity of disposition. Messrs. KncIsel, Lett
Svccenski and Wileko. playing first and
second violin, viola and cello respective
ly, are an excellent artists. Together
they never are at odds. and can always
reach fine. fluid tone, which all too fire.
quently has to atone for some very dull
music
The program had Haydn. Ravel and
Grieg for the quartet, and, as a pleasant
intcrlude, a sonata by ArChangclo Corelli,
for cello and plano, the latter instrument
played by Mrs. Willeke. She and her
husband played so well that the stupid
piece. which is like a hundred other
stupid pieces. was at least pleasant to
hear. OF the other pieces, the most in
teresting was Ravel's quartet in f. ma
jor. 1t is n commonplace TO speak of
strange discords. The wonder of Ravel
is that, by his lovely rhythms, his un-
usual orchestration and by the quality
of his imagination, he makes harmonies
as strange and as fascinating as discords
can ever be. G. V. S.
