London. Feb. 21, a. n.-Further vigorous measures for dealing with the food situation in Germany have been outlined in a statement to the Berlin press by pr. George Michaelis, the new Prussian food commissioner, accord ing to an Amsterdam despatch to the Exchange Telegraph company.
 Dr. Michaelis said that he had come to an agreement with Adofph von Batocki president of the food regula- tion board, and General Groener, head of the army feeding department, that food questions must be dealt with in the speediest possible way and that all red tape restrictions should be ignored. The Prussian minister has been empowered to act apart from the Prussian cabinet and has been given considerable authority to penalize re- calcitrants. Among other things he has been authorized to close mills and bakeries which disobey orders.

TEACHERS PAY
HELD Up, They
Make PROTEST
6 Weeks Will Have Elapsed
Before They Get Any of
What They Earned

Bridgeport's teachers are COM
planning of the fact that they have
not received any pay for their ser
vices since April and have learned
that they won't get any until Friday,
May II.
Six full weeks will have expired
since the teachers received any money
from the board of education, and the
sentiment today was that this is I'M
fair.
1t is pointed out that the high cost
of living effects teachers as we'll as
other persons and that actual suffer-
ing is likely in some cases. Teachers
have bills tor pay on the first Of each
month and nowadays landlords and
boarding mistresses are impatient for
their money.
Why should teachers who were new
er remarkably well paid, have to wait
for what they have earned ?'' was the
question asked today.
Eve have bills to pay, clothes and
food to buy, and because we are
teachers, our credit is no better than
that Of other persons. No other city
employees have to wait for their pay
after they have earned it. It is bad
enough to be paid monthly but wait
ing six weeks entails hardship
Some pointed out that teachers got
their first pay a week earlier than
usual this year. This, however, was
discontinued by the fact that a holi-
day period occurred at that time, and
the advance was necessary. The
teachers didn't get any more than
they earned at that time, so they
counted it no blessing.

CICOTTE DIDN'T HAVE
IDEA HE WAS FLINGING
,NO-HIT ENGAGEMENT
Sporting News)


Eddie Cicotte, who recently pitch
ed a no-hit game for the Chicago
White Sox against the st. Louis
Browns, did not know he was on the
road to fame until the seventh inn
ing of the game. He was rocking
along up to that time, doing the best
he could to keep the, Browns from
hitting. OF course, but not keeping
count much of whether they were get
ting hits or not, SO long as he didn't
see any runs going over the plate.
When the White Sox came off the
field in the seventh inning. Cicotte,
who had a bad cold, bundled him.
self on the bench for a rest, He
heard two of his team mates arguing
as to whether the scorer, would give
Jimmy Austin a hit on a ball driven
to Gandil.
HE could easy enough call that an
error said one player.
"What difference does it make :"
asked Cicotte, mildly interested, but
not exactly catching the drift,
fIt would be the first hit off you
and only two innings to go" was the
answer
Then Cieotte admits he went out
with a new determination. 81 had
been trying for ten years for no
hit game he says, land L thought
if there was chance for it might
as well land one. So I started to
pitch"

In County Work

The agricultural committee of the
Fairfield County Resources Mobi1iza-
ton bureau is arranging for large
canneries throughout the county
where cooperative packing Of vege-
tables and fruit may be done on a
large scale.
Because of the large demand for
canned tomatoes, corn, peas, beans
and other table necessities, it is be-
Heved by those who have studied the
situation that competition may be
successfully waged with the larger
western canneries.
The theory obtains that in Fairfield
county, this plan will greatly increase
the farmers revenue and that inten-
sive farming will be extended in this
section.
Though definite plans are not COM
p1eted the tentative outline Of the
agricultural commdttee includes one
large cannery located near a large
city with several portable outfits
which may be moved from section tc

lesser quantities of cannabIe produce
