RED CROSS RETURNS

Announcement Of Figures Is Made
by Henry P. Dawson, Chairman
of Secretary's War Council.

According to an announcement OF
Henry p. Dawson. chairman of the war
council of the Red Cross, the returns up
to o'clock last night indicated that
during the past week at least $4,000
900 had been subscribed to the Red
Cross war fund. He said that this as
sumes that stockholders in companies
which have declared special dividends,
amounting to some $40. O00. 900. will turn
their dividends over to the Red Cross.
Local chapters of the Red Cross are
entitled to retain for their own work
rs per cent OF the total amount coll
lected," he said, but it Is very evident
that the National Red Cross will have
a generous fund with which to begin
its tremendous tasks.

SCHOOLS HIT

Teachers Barred by Law Against

of $4,000.

Despite the fact that Congress ap-
propriated $1,000 with which to carry
on vacation or summer school work IN
the District of Columbia, private con-
tributions probably will have to be So
ucited with which to conduct the sum-
mer high schools.
The cause is a decision by the con-

law. which provides that 70 individual
in government employ shall receive
two or more salaries aggregatinsy more
than $4,000. In all probability the en-
tire matter will be placed before the

Plans for the high schools. as well rs
for the elementary summer schools. had
been completed when the controllers
decision became known to the school
officials. Teachers in the regular SEES
sion of the high schools were named to
instruct in the summer high schools,
and, matter of fact. the high
schools were opened Monday.
These teachers, for the most part. re-
ceive 500 or thereabouts for the regular
school session As the teachers were to
receive for their summer work $40, 1t
had been thought by those in charge of
the schools that this would be entirely
legal-that is, the salary of 1920 added to
the $500 salary would be less than the
81, 900 set by law.
The controller holds, however, that
the salary must be considered on a
yearly basis. For instance. the 1920
would have to be divided by the AZ
days in the summer school period and
this unit multiplied by 1855. The result
Of this multiplication would be added
to the first salary. and II the two sala
ries were more than the $4,000 the
teacher could not receive the second
pay. On this basis the teachers would
be receiving pay at the rate of more
than $4,000 per year. although the sum
they really received would be less than
