will be heard at the joint session Tues
day. and then Congress will think
things over. No opinions have been
advanced as to what will be done in
regard to declaring war on Austria,
although several Senators have as
serted the declaration should be made.
There Is little discussion of other
phases of the international situation.
This will be left in the hands OF Presi-
dent Wilson. as heretofore.
With billions of dollars to be
raised for war expenses, neither the
Senate nor House finance experts
have made their preliminary esti-
mates. 1t is here the fight is to
come. Throughout the last session
Administration leaders were hard
put to keep the ratio of bond and
tax revenue at about IS and 35. SEN
ators LaFollette, johnson and Bo-
rah several times came near over
turning the program, and boosting
all kinds Of taxes, including war in
come, excess profits, etc During
the recess the drift of Congression-
al opinion has clearly been toward
their stand.
Representative Fitzgerald. Of
Brooklyn, chairman of the House
appropriation committee, gave
warning in a Philadelphia speech
some weeks ago that taxation rates
must be boosted. and bond selling
held down. Chairman Claude Kitch-
in, of the ways and means commit
tee. is a firm advocate of more
taxes and fewer bonds.
Estimates Completed.
The executive departments have
completed their estimates, and the
big budget, still held confidential,
will be turned over TO Congress
early in the week. Congress will
have to find ways of raising prob
ably s5.OOO,OO0.O0O more revenue be-
fore July l. And this is in addition
to the $3.666, 100000 from Liberty
Bonds already authorized but not
sold. the s1.0OO.O0O.OOO expected
from war savings certificates, and
about $3,00O,OOO.O 900 from war taxes
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo
has told Representatives he favors
raising practically all this 5000, ,OO0, 900
by bond issues of various kinds, rath-
er than by means of taxation. And
from this 1t Is deduced the administra-
ton favors the bonding method. If
this policy can prevail. it will mean
the sale of approximately $500. .OOO, 600
of bonds in some form before July l.
Prediction was made genrally last
night that the coming session, while
it may develop hostile criticism Of the
administration, will see less politics
than any session Of Congress in half
q century.
Vice President Marshall yesterday
declared the country simply is not in
terested in politics, and politicians
know it. For this reason there is ex-
pected to be little political maneuver-
ing in either branch Of Congress. Any
fighting that results will, it is pre-
dicted, be nonpartisan. as in the case
OF the struggle over the tax-bond
question.

Petrograd, Dec. 1.-The Western al
lies are inclined to be impatient with
Russia and to complain Of the break
down of the Russian army and the in
crease of anarchy.
The revolution. It appears to be
imagined, was made by those who
were dissatisfied with the Car for
not carrying on the war with SUM-
cient energy. In fact. it is pictured
as q sort Of palace revolution, where
one set Of rulers turns out another.
Therein lies the fundamental mis-
take which the allies have made in
their dealings with Russia. They
made no attempt to find out where the
real forces that made the revolution
lay. They look upon Russia as q
young race horse, upon which they

That's What DIR. Rooster Tells
Teachers Today.

Poor teeth is the cause of many
of the deaths each year from pre-
ventable diseases, is the Indictment
made by Dr. Fl. A. Rooster, of Topeka,
in his paper read this afternoon be-
fore the physiology and hygiene round
table.
"Only four children in a hundred, -
said Doctor Roster, ARE not suffer-
ing more or less from diseases of the
teeth. Statistics show that on account
of poor teeth the mental and physical
development of the child is disturbed
and retarded. The worse the teeth.
the lower, as a ;ule, is the school
standing of the child.
How to Clean Teeth.

in maintaining the health of the
teeth by the usual thirty second lick
and-promise cleaning method in

who use the toothbrush The teeth
and mouth should both be cleansed
thoroly, and three to five minutes is
not too much time to spend each day
at this important work.
"One should have two toothbrushes
of rather small or medium size and
use them alternately so as to give
each time to dry out before using
again. These brushes should be pre-
ferably those with wedge-shaped
points on the rows of bristles Never

TOO MANY FRILLS
That Is Trouble With the
Courses in Mathematics.
F. w. Thomas of Santa Fe
Addresses Teachers.

F. w. Thomas. of Topeka, super
visor of apprentices, for the Santa Fe
system, spoke to the mathematical
section of the teachers this afternoon,
on What mathematical knowledge
is desired of young men by their en-
ployers." In the preparation of his
address. Mr.. Thomas says he sent out
letters to a large number of employers
of boys from the schools, asking them
to answer the question of what math-
ematical knowledge is desired of the
boys who come to them for employ
ment. With the exception of one arch
itect and one civil engineer, all the
employers simply stated that they de-
sired a well grounded knowledge of
arithmetic.
Mr.. Thomas stated, 81 have failed
to find in any of the ordinary pur-
suits of life, the slightest trace of any
direct application of the mathematics
taught in the schools or colleges. be-
yond the operation of simple frac-
tons and decimals.''
He stated that the curriculum of the
| high school was designed and built up
for the sole purpose of preparing the
boys for college; that practically 80
per cent do not go to college. He
claimed that so many frills and less
useful subjects had been put into the
high school curriculum, that the sub
Jects needed by the boy or girl in their
everyday life, especially the drilling
boys and girls from the schools, had
been crowded out.
Mr.. Thomas stated that the times
demand that the curriculum be modi-
fed, so as to fit in with the needs of
the present day. He insisted that at
least a two-year course of higher
arithmetic be taught in the high
schools, and all the mathematics
aobve the first book in geometry be
eliminated from the curriculum. 1t is
entirely wrong for the time of the
teacher to be spent in preparing the
boys and girls for college, when only
about 7 per cent of them will go,
| that the arrangement of the entire
curriculum should be with the idea
of benefiting the majority.
Men Best Teachers.
Mr.. Thomas suggested that in the
high schools, all mathematics be
taught by men. claiming that in all
his school days, he never had a wo-
man teacher that could successfully
teach mathematics
Mr.. Thomas also criticised the
Kansas idea of printing it's own text
books, claiming that the state text
books were far behind, in printing.
