Service Handicapped.

What spirit of service can come out
OF such conditions? Spirit is inspir-
ing, and our children sadly need in
spiration and the best teaching that
can be given them, for on them pres
emily much will depend. As a crown
ing insult to, the teachers, and they
have had some bitter pills to swallow
for many years, there appeared in
The Star the other night a notice
iheaded, Call School Teachers for De-
partment Work" This article goes on
to say that arrangements, approved
by the President, have been made by
the United States Civil Service Com
mission for the employment of school
teachers of the District of Columbia
ut salary not to exceed $s5 month.
Can any one answer why 4 maximum
salary Of $s5 for the teachers? If
tape which necessitAtes any such pro-
cedure, why not break the red tape,
as has been done in SO many cases
during the war? The country has
only seemed to breathe -freer for it.
Surely our government, which gives
wage during the year and refuses I'd
raise 1t to the living point. will not
I ofter these teachers less than any un-
, trained, undisciplined high school girl
or boy Is getting. The. government
: would probably get more work ac.
complished in, two months of a
teachers time than in six months
work Of these very inefficient young
people whom we are constantly hear
ing about and who are receiving from
SIS per month up.
1t seems a pity that q notice which
: Is not fair to the teaching profession
should be headed as having the Presi-
dents approval. since Mr.. Wilson has
been one OF the very few people with
authority who have been any need for
caring for the interests Of the govern
ment workers.
Speed the day when he has time to
thfow the weight Of his influence on
thu side Of proper salaries for tho
Distlict Of Columbia employees, includ-
Ing. ;of course. the teachers. We are
not asking others to perform patri-
ottc service such as government work
without compensation; it has not been
found advisable to do SO. Why should
we ask teachers to work for $65 when
many of their pupils are being paid
much more by the same government?
Is there an answer?

HINT TO THE PRESIDENT

To the Editor Of The Star:
How many parents in Washington
realize that they are losing their best
friends, that they are losing them rapid
ly; that it will take years to replace
them and that they will never be re-
placed in kind II conditions continue as
they are?
speak of the teachers of Washing
ton. I have had nine years Of constant
association with this teaching body on
their working side, though I am not a
teacher. Why are the schools losing
these teachers and the mothers and
fathers their strongest allies? We
know without chance of argument that
the child reflects the teachers influence.
What that teachers influence Is Is
largely determined by her merit. her
ability and her living conditions. Think
Of 1t, most teachers in Washington to-
day are moiding as nothing else, not
children. and we are letting the ones
who know how go.
Why?
In the first place, last winter when
every one knew of living conditions and
expenses in Washington. the teachers,
the educators Of our children, were not
given 81, 900 minimum pay for the COM
ing year and that after being required
to spend two years in training without
compensation for that period.
These teachers. many of them, have
dependents and none of them can have
free spirits with constant thought of
ends not meeting.
What Can People Dor
You ask. What can the people Of
Washington do? Well, ii every parent
in Washington was awake and cared
enough he or she could make it her
business to keep the subject always
before US in the newspapers, in meet
ings, and. most of all, she would strive
by legislation to have the conduct of
the school system in the hands of the
residents Of the city instead of in the
hands of the Congress which obvious
1y cannot and should not take time to
properly inform themselves on this
vital subject, Why should Congress
have the decision as to how many
teachers we should have and what we
should pay for them? Let's not answer
=. because 1t has always been So Let
us do something about 1t! We are now
advertising for letter carriers. men or
women, at a beginning salary Of 81. 900,
with the promise of yearly increases
of $100 per year for five years. Is
our mail more important than our
children's development?
The teachers are not paid a living
wage.
The teachers are hedged about with
numerous restrictions as to extra
work.
The teachers are, many Of them,
hopelessly in debt. though they have
been barely existing

PEOPLE ARE HAPPY
Wild Scenes of Glee at Bruges
When Allies Came.
Germans Had Censored All
News From Outside.

London, Oct. 21.-Scenes of happi-
ness at Bruges eclipsed those at Lille
after the liberation OF the two cities,
according to the correspondent OF the
Daily Mail. During the occupation of
Bruges by the Germans the people
there were not allowed to receive news
from the outside world, or from their
friends inside the German lines unless
the news was handled by the German
officers. The correspondent writes:
when the only American woman
left in Bruges was told of the deeds of
Americans in France, she cried with
happiness: oh, if I had only known
that"
Bruges was fined enormous sums on
various occasions. the correspondent
says, and everything made OF metal
was taken away. The city was search
ed four times for copper. The works at
Bruges were robbed of every scrap
OF machinery. The Germans paid for
nothing except food and drink and
then only in paper money. The town
itself is intact and the old belfry and
the front of the Hotel de Vile were
uninjured. Most OF the pictures re-
main in the gallery and Bruges seems
to be as restful as in the old days eX-
cept that all the bridges are gone

Y NEEDS 1000 MEN
Those Qualified for overseas Educa-
tional Work in Demand.

Rev. 7\-cy Atkins. head OF the per-
sonnet bureau of the Y. M. c. A. for
Kansas. has received notice from
headquarters that the association
needs 1000 more men for educational
work overseas. The need for these
men looks especially toward the re-
construction efforts that the associa-
ton will make as the allied territory
is cleared of the invader. A number
of the men examined and accepted by
the committee last Friday will be sent
abroad in educational work.
The association also needs men fit
ted for leadership in carrying out the
program for the association in Russia
The political situation in that country
is clearing sufficiently for the work to
be re-opened. and the need for men
there will be great.
A conference of personnel directors
for the department in which Kansas is
located will be held soon in Chicago.
Mr.. Atkins will go to Chicago to at
tend the conference

full cold remedy 1t is, even if you do
put it up.
Last fall we were really worried

many remedies, and the doctor did not
help him at all, when one day he hap
pened to read an ad Of your Mentho-

He began to feel easier right away,
and long before the first bottle was
gone he was all over his terrible
cough. and by taking a little when
feeling hoarse just a little we both
have warded off every bit of colds and
coughs since, until Monday of this

State Political Headquarters
Hit by the New Epidemic.
Clyde Reid OF G. Q. p. Forces
Shows Symptoms of 1t.
DEMOCRATIC GIRLS ARE i'll
Employees May Be Forced To
Wear Masks Now.
Mails May Be Carrying Disease
to Campaigners.

Masks as well as muzzles may soon
be handicapping the headquarters
workers of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties of Kansas.
Not only has the Spanish influenza
completely and effectively muzzled the
speakers the two parties expected to
send out over the state. but now the
endemic is reported to have invaded
the very headquarters of the two par
ties, and if it becomes worse there are
ali kinds of trouble possibilities ahead.
1t was reported today that two or
three of the girls employed at the
Democratic headquarters in the
Throop hotel have been i'll with the
flu, and Clyde Reid, of the Republic
can headquarters in the Central Ma
tional bank building is i'll and it is re-
ported that he has the symptoms of
the flu.
In the event the disease should
make strong assault on the head
quarters, the managers undoubtedly
will be forced to insist that all en-
pioyes wear masks, and there Is a
possibility that a general outbreak
would result in closing orders being
issued by the state board of health.
Thru Mails, Too.
The possibility of the germ of the
disease being transmitted thru the
mails also may be given consideration
and if it is shown that there is danger
OF infection in this manner, the two
headquarters may be ordered to cease
sending out their appeals. Such an ac-
ton would practically mean that ev-
cry kind of political activity would be
under the ban.
Dr. 9. J. Crumbine of the state
board of health said this afternoon
that there is a possibility the influenza
germ might be carried in letter but
that in all probability it could not

that II is hard to tell. However. the
knowledge we have indicates that the
germ is Of short life when outside
the human body and that it soon loses
its vitality when exposed to the air.
The cases usually are contracted from
close contact with persons who have

try by 'Iron Gate"
New York, Oct. 21.-Invasion of
Hungary of allied forces operating in
Serbia is now threatened by way of
the "iron gate Of the Danube near
Orsova, where the Hungarian, Ru-
manian and Serbian boundaries meet.
The allied advance from Nish. the
present base of operations in Serbia.
is taking two directions, one directly
north toward Orsova and the other
northwest toward Belgrade. the Ser
bian capital. The Orsova movement
is by far the most important of the
two. 1t has progressed half way from
Nish to the Hungarian border and
there remains but fifty miles to be
traversed before the Danube will be
reached.
The defensive center of Negotin
alone remains to be taken by the al
lies before they have clear road to
the Hungarian frontier. Once the
Danube is crossed and an invasion of
Hungary actually begins, the posi-
bflity of a separate peace being agreed
to by the Hungarian government will
increase with each mile the allies ad-
vance toward Hungary's wheat fields
and cattle plains.

FLYING BY NIGHT
Yank Aviators Have Inaugurated the
New Patrol System in Dark.

With the American Army Northwest
Of Verdun. Oct. 20.-American avia-
tors, by fnaugurating night patrols
along the Mouse, have attracted much
attention among the airnen of other
nations. Under the present plan the
air forces are always subject to a call
from the front. where observers or
listeners report by wire when the mo-
tor of a German airplane is heard ap-
preaching the American lines.
As soon as one of these forces is
heard the American searchlights begin
sweeping the sky. The American night
patrols arrive at the same time. In
event the German machine is located
by the ray of a searchlfght the Ameri-
can machines attack until the enemy
is downed or makes his escape. On
Friday night when the system was in
augl rated, five aviators started seek
ing any German machine that might
be about.
When an American searchlight
picks up an American machine a pre-
arranged signal is given, eliminating
danger that the American might be
shot down by his own men. When the
airmen are aloft the airdromes are
brilliantly lighted so that they may
return without trouble.

BRAN TO KILL PESTS
State Food Administration To Use 1t
in Grasshopper War.

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 21.-The food
administration has bought a car Of
bran thru D. F. Piazzek. of the grain
corporation, for use in Clark county in
poisoning grasshoppers, (which are
eating the 1920 crop Of wheat as fast
as it comes up. The bran is mixed
with poison and is effective in killing
Grasshoppers.
In spite of the bran shortage, the
food administration considers the kill
ing of grasshoppers essential, and is
assisting county farm agents, county
commissioners, councils of defense and
other authorized agents in obtaining
bran.
Millers are refusing to sell bran in
large quantities because there is not
enough to go around. Without help
from the food administration it is
not possible to get bran except in sack
lots.
