cost Of living in Detroit advanced as fol-
lows: rent, % per cent; clothing, 20 per
cent fuel, 10 per cent food. 10 per cent.
As everyone knows, it has never been
| higher.
A teacher receives $50 per month min
imum wage and 800 per month maxi
mum wage while she Is at work. but is
forced to be idle twelve weeks in the
year without salary.
Out Of this she must also pay 10 per
cent Of her pay into the teachers pension
fund
without subtracting the 10 per cent
this gives the teacher at 500 the magnifi-
cent average Of S3S.0S per month upon
which to live turnout The year and at the
maximum lreached only after 10 years
ser,ice) $3.50.
In New York. teachers receive half
their pay during July and August, which
would seem 70 be the leas, that city
,ould consistently DO for IS loyal work
ers, when enforcing their id!eneSs.
9 Our teachers must be we'll housed,
comfortably fed. nicely dressed in order
70 maintain that prosperous, healthy
aappy appearance which is insisted upon
for the good of the children
II she is sick. she must pay substi-
tute and the substitute salary has been
raised, tho the teachers has not.
Also her work has been constantly in
creased by the new ideas in education
until now she not only cares Tor the men
tai but the physical well-being Of the
child.
She is expected TO improve her mind
with concerts, lectures, reading, travel,
all Of which is recorded and becomes q
Dig factor in her advancement.
A raise of salary of 500 per year
1883 per month"; IS TO 20 into effect
next September. This is small step and
the first small step in the right direction
in over seven years but il is not gong
to help out thru July and August
The finance committee Of the board Of
education has passed favorably upon a
raise for clerks and bookkeepers Of the
board The budget will be presented to
the board of estimates and probably will
be approved But why the teachers of
the city. those who are really The foun-
tain head of the whole educational sys-
TEN, should be left 70 shift for them
selves and subsist on q pittance, while
minor individuals are considered, would
be a mystery if it were not so LUMINOSITY
clear.
The taxpayers Of Detroit rarely pro-
test against their money going for a
righteous cause.
A large number Of them are vitally in
terested in these teachers thru ties OF
blood or friendship. The cause Of this
must lie elsewhere.
Let the women get the vote in Michi- |
gan and all this will be speedily changed.
Their indirect influence" upon the bal |
lot is a negligible quantity, so negligible (
that it is not even considered.
Their direct influence would be speedily I

it."
Chicken pox is no respecter Of persons.
The other day there stood in the United
States senate the first man OF our land,
the chief executive of our country. de-
livering a message that had the close at
tention of the world,
He was pleading there for the departure
of his country from its earliest and deep
est rooted traditions and the taking of its
place in an international concert for world
peace.
Sages of diplomacy leaned on his words
almost with awe; in foreign lands his
speech was read, here with hope; here
with an Amen here with resentment
for the speakers presumptousness.
II was perhaps the most important mo-
ment in the brilliant and useful career
of a great man, but there was another
time just as important, when he held the
center of the stage quite as he did upon
this occasion, and which was as much a
part of this great mans life.
III was lIit llitt litdb 1bitLiAs " il-stlts
as they called him, came home from
school one day and complained that his
head was hot and a few hours later,
tabout "a, they say began TO erupt, as
red papules and vesicles began to appear
on his face. scalp and shoulders, one crop
fading away as another came on.
1t was the time Tommy" Wilson had
chicken pox.
II was the time it was known all over
the neighborhood that Tommy" Wilson
had chicken pox, and when other boys
were told to keep away from Tommy
Wilson's house, because he's got the
chicken pox."
1t was the time, if it was the ONLY
time, that Woodrow Wilson couldn't side
step precedent or break il
He just HAD to subscribe.
We should rejoice, as we said before,
that chicken pox is here and that there is
lots of it.
II Is healthy sign when there is lots
of chicken pox-a healthy sign for city
and for the country, because it denotes
that the future of the city and the future
of the country is being looked to.
Where there is chicken pox, there are
bound to be children and where there are
STILL children, it is a sign that society
as whole has not turned against having
them.
Children, in this day and age. denote,
also, that the spirit of the American
pioneer is still with US.
The pioneers, as a matter of fact, had
1t comparatively easy.
They could settle down and live almost
any place they wanted to.
II is about all that people who are rails
ing children can do, these days, TO get a
place to live, even if they seek what is
known as the wilderness.
Raising children is hardship enough
without the handicap that is put upon il
by our landlords.
1t is a patriotic duty which too many
Of our modern wives shun.
1t is too bad that there is not more
encouragement for the wives who are
more honest and more patriotic.
Chicken pox--lots Of its the assur-
ance that We have still among the coun-
try's women both honesty and patriot
ism.
There is another reason why we should
rejoice over this epidemic of chicken pox.
II is practically harmless and while 50
many of our children have it, that many
children haven't anything else.
We had it,
You had it.

STIR YOUR COFFEE
 AND SAVE SUGAR

OLYMPIA, Oct. 30.-"Stir your coffee." that sign displayed in mil lions of hotels and restaurants and even in private homes would accom- plish much in the saving of sugar. according to Secretary Goodner. of the State Council of Defense. Secre- tary Goodner says it hard to educate the individual into believing that his little saving will have its effect on the grand total. Once the American public learns to curtail its rations, then the food supply will be greatly increased as a whole, so far as the amount available for exporting to the allies is concerned. he declares. He thinks that right now the slogan "Stir Your Coffee," Is what is needed to bring about a great saving in sugar.

A MEMBER of the reichstag warn ed the government the other day that a military decision on land is impos- sible, and that while the shadowy hope of the submarine remains, there is no immediate prospect of forcing England into submission. He added
 that the workers are eager for peace and that if the government persists in what appears to be war for con- quest, serious strikes may be expect ed. In this connection a report of a
 Swiss Journal that the strikes in Ger many were more widespread this year than last, is interesting. It says 63.- 137 intuition workers from 109 fac tories were on strikes during the first three months of this year as compared with about 5000 men from twenty three factories during the same per iod of 1916. The reason assigned for
 the strikes, bad and insufficient food is becoming monthly more pressing.

Hog Brings Price of Cow

MT. VERNON. Oct. 3O.-Seventy- five dollars and twenty cents was the price paid for one Skagit county hog, owned by Grant Franklin. manager of the Fisher Brook farm. eight miles south of Mount Vernon. The hog weighed 470 pounds and was purchas- cd by Woollen Br Nhers meat mar ket of Burlington. It was a registered Berkshire and was eighteen months old. At the Skagit County fair this hog was the center of attraction in the swine department.
