/ recommend that you instruct
YOUR committee on salaries to draft
a salary schedule All of the live
systems in the state have done this.
| fail to see the wisdom in the sup
position that all teachers are worth
500 or $50 dollars per month and
that thew are never worth more al
ter wears of successful work in our
system. We should have a minimum
and a maximum salary for each
grade. Your system would then OF

little encouragement when the sal
airy is to be $55, no more and no

a good town in which to teach, yet
there cannot be enough sentiment
attached to the work to persuade a
teacher to leave some other good
town and come here at SIS to $40 per
month less salary.
You would look on such teacher
with suspicion. Then put this prop
osition on business basis.
Heating the Buildings.
One other matter | have wanted
to mention but have not been quite
sure that it was the proper time to
consider it. Something like two
wears or more ago l suggested that
that you could heat both your school
buildings with the exhaust steam
from the city's electric light plant.
A neighboring town has a school
plant similarly located, and they have
tried the plan for two winters. They
are delighted. To do this we would
have to lay the underground steam
line and equip the grammar school
building with steam heating appa-
ratus. Ycur heating problem would
then be solved for all time. Your
building would be more sanitary. The
buildings could be kept warm night
and day with no more cost to the
CITY, and some who have looked into
the matter believe it would be saw
ing to the light plant itself on &C
count of the fact that the condensed
steam would be returned to them.
We would have no more coal bills.
1t would practically eliminate the
of ever having a fire and
would reduce janitor service more
than half. Best of all, it would keep
your children warm.

for the support you have given the
school during the past year. / have

100000 KILLED AND
CAPTURED IN MONTH
Half Million Men Put Out of Com
mission and Big Booty Taken
in Great Drive of Russians.


PETROGRAD.-Nearly a half mil
lion Austrians and Germans have
been put out of commission since
General Brussiloff began his great
advance a month ago today. The
grand total of prisoners to date is in
round numbers $4,000, of which
$500 are officers.
Without the actual figures regard
ing the dead and wounded careful es-
Inmates by military experts, based on
the best information, places the lat
ter at 100000 to 100000. The Aus
trians predominant overwhelmingly
among the prisoners, but among the
dead and wounded it is said that a
fairly large percentage are Germans.
The German losses in stopping the
Russian advance on Kovel and in
counter attacks made in solid ranks
were enormous.
The booty captured reaches meal
culable figures. 1t is figured that
$50 guns of various sizes and upward
of 700 machine guns is a conserva-
tive estimate. In addition vast guam
titles of munitions, supplies and
transports have fallen into the hands
of the Russians.

ALLEGED BIGAMIST SAYS
WOMEN NOW PURSUE MEN
CLEAN COLLAR, GOOD CLOTHES
AND GASOLINE BUGGY ARE
ALL VICTIMS NEED.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Modern
young men about town are simply
pestered to distraction by hosts of

chap a clean collar, one decent suit
of clothes, a shave, a shine, any
sort of a four-wheeled gasoline-driv-

sister of Baroness Won Brincken,
whose husband is connected with the
German consulate.

WHAT CATARRR IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarTh IN some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snufs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is
medicinal food and building tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

Ascension Chihuahua, Mex, April a.
On the desert sand less than q mile to
the north of Ascension lies the camp of
the American infantrymen who are
guarding the lines Of communication.
Their tents are pitched in the center of
a little cottonwood fringed oasis. Around
their camp is long trench ready for in
slant occupation, while cavalrymen con-
stantly are making their way up and
down the motor supply route which leads
from Columbus, N. NJ, to the front. 1t

the occasional arrival of q motor or a

troops further to the front, who are ac-

ny, whose brown canvas shelters lie just
across the Rio De Janos, is the envy Of
the infantrymen, for they at least are
kept busy repairing the Justified ruts
made in the road by the passage of in
Vulnerable heavy truck trains.
Devastated Village
Occasionally the silence Is broken by
the sound of shots. Even the town OF
