SCHOOL TEACHERS ASK MORE PAY
Approximately 100 Send Petition to Board of Education
 Say They Must Seek Other Occupations Unless Salaries Are Raised-High Cost of Living Is Cause.

Teachers of the schools of the city prepared and sent to the school beard on Wednesday resolutions asking for substantial salary increases. asking that they be notified of such increases by the first of July. 1918, and also that they be paid the recommended bonus of $75 now instead of waiting till the end of the next school year. Unless they have such assurances. they say, they will be compelled to seek some other form of occupation where re- muneration is more in keeping with present day commercial conditions.
 This action was unanimously de- cided upon at largely attended meeting of the teachers held at the Chamber of Commerce hall in the af- ternoon and the petition was sent for ward with approximately 100 sigma lures attached to it. It contained this concluding paragraph,
 Resolved: that the following list of teachers whose, names appear here with, collectively and individually, pe- tition your honorable body that in view of the foregoing reasons given, a substantial increase in salaries of the public school teachers of the town of Norwich be made to a degree in keep ing with tn general living conditions as outlined above: that they receive othe bonus recommended for next year now; and that they be notified of said increase on or before July 1st, 1918. Willinantic, New London and many other cities throughout the state and nation have already advanced the sal aries of their teachers voluntarily.
 Therefore, we ask. are not the public school teachers of Norwich worthy of such consideration from the school
 board of the town of Norwich? Unless
 we have such assurances, we shall be forced to seek some other form of oc- cupation where remuneration is in
 keeping with present day commercial conditions. Reasons For Increase. Tn their preamble to the resolution adopted the teachers gave the reasons for their request as follows under four heads:
 Whereas: the living conditions ir the town of Norwich and throughout i the United States have undergone g l radical change during the past year because of our entree into the work lwar and

Government Salaries for stsnograph'

The United States Civil Service Commission announces that through some misunderstanding an impression seems to prevail that the government has raised the usual entrance salary for stenographers and typists in the departments at Washington, D. C., to S1, 400 a year. The commission states that there has been no change in ini- tial salaries for positions of this kind;
 the usual salaries at the beginning range from s1.O00 to s1 200 a year, ap- pointments at $1,z0O being in the mi
 nority. The war department makes all appointments to such positions at not less than S1,100 year, and agrees to promote to Sl.200 "a year after three months satisfactory ser

TERR0Rs GIVEN INDIAN NAMES
Really Has q Good Deal to BE
Said In lie Favor.

Selecting names for the many new
vessels soon to slide from American
ways is task needing patience and
application. 1t is one of the duties Of
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt Of the
navy department, who, though he finds
many volunteer assistants, is always
hard pressed in his pursuit of suitable
names. The wife of President Wilson
has pow come to his aid with Il list OF
names.
Mrs. Wilson is a descendant of Po-
cahontas. The names she suggests
may be calculated to spread terror
among the enemies of America afloat.
They are taken from Indian history.
When an enemy vessel sees the Sim
namahoning approaching flying the
Stars and Stripes. the captain is likely
to think one of the devils Of the deep
is in pursuit. If the Sinnamahoning is
followed by the Sisladobsis and the
Sisladobsis by the Skaneateles and the
Shawangunk-all names conferred by
the presidents wife-the enemy may
well believe that the day Of Legendary
sea terrors has returned.
Suppose, again, that the Saccarappa,
the Sagaporack. the TObes0fka and the
Tonganoxie were to sail forth together,
is there any power on the seas surface
or beneath that would court encounter
with such an photographed 0nslaught1

Judge N. C. Young, Fargo, N. d.
Ny Dear Judge Young: I note
in a recent number of the Courier
News a statement to the effect that
"Red Cross Branches in other
cities are closing for the. summer
vacation. Minneapolis is already
closed, Chicago will be closed on
the same dates as the Fargo
branch, and other cities through
out the country will close at differ
ent dates.'' A.. a Ha&
l think this statement must have
been made on the basis of some
misunderstanding. All Of the work
rooms Of the Minneapolis chapter
are in operation throughout the
summer. About a month ago for a
period Of two weeks, the hospital
garment workrooms, having ex-
ceeded the production allotted to
them, and the chapter being tenn
porarily out of money, were closed,
and for about the same period the
surgical dressings workrooms con-
fined themselves strictly to their
allotment.
I have been going over the re-
cent numbers of the bulletin of
the Chicago chapter and fail to
find any intimation that the
workrooms in that city either have
