High Cost of Gingham

Why Why do you have to pay 15 'ents a yard for gingham that would nave sold four years ago for 25 cents? )ne reason, explains Richard Tingley Forbes Magazine, is that the manu- acturers Of cotton goods were sud-
 enly called upon to switch their in lustry that had been set or gauged' to produce the goods of the .iV.lian trade to the production of he goods of war. The war found the 'otton mill men working on well es- ablished lines, producing just about goods enough or a little bit more) meet the needs of our home peo- ole. War stepped in and told thern hat they must reorganize their smooth running factories and produce the goods, of war. The result has been that. for the past two years their factories were working about 40 per cent on the goods of war and about so per cent on civilian goods More than this. The disruption of organ ization has resulted in a loss of ef- ficiency in the production of civilian goods of at least 20 per cent, so it is safe to say that the production Of cotton goods such as you and l wear has been but about 50 per cent of nor nal since the war began To give you an idea of what this means, will say that this 50 per cent short age amounted. in 1918 alone, to up- wards of 7,000000,00 square yards of clothi

TOURISTS NOW SEE
 ROME FROM TIE AIR
Regular DirigibIe Service of Italian Navy Has Already
 Proved Very Popular
By AssoeIated Press

Rome, June, T.-American tourists may hereafter visit Roman ruins-the Colia
 scum, Forum, Pantheon, Caracalla baths and the basilica of Constantine, St. Pet CT S and other Rome gems, not in anti quated horse drawn carriages but in air ships. The Italian navy has established a commercial dirigible service for visiting Rome and it's environs from the air. The venture has met with complete success , for daily the aircraft are filled to capac- ity.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press viewed Rome from the Italian navy's dirigihle Nil. On board were dip i lCmatic representatives of all the allied countries to the number of 34, the ca pacity of the craft. The United States representative was Colonel Buckey mil | itary attache here.
 Those in the party of long residence here stated that looking at Rome from the dirigible brought out features of it
 which went unperceived to the observer below. Historic Roman landmarks viewed from the air gave the eye an entirely different aspect of their beauty and form. The riches of Rome in hidden gardens
 could only be appreciated from above, it was agreed.
 Looking at the Coliseum from the be-
 low it appears to be a circular mass of
 ruined grandeur. From the air the el
 liptical proportions of the second great
 est accumulation of masonry in history
 are pronounced
 The proceeds from the dirigible service
 are given to the Italian fund for those
 disa bled in the war. Tea is served in
 mid-air and letters accepted for postage.

 w. C. Schoppert of the Birmingham Motor company, stated that Buick own CTS can feel that they are part of this company. They are selling these cars ex- clusively and owners and the Brmihg ham Motor company are just like a biz family affair. If we want to sell more Buick cars we must cater to the own CTS, who will boost our service. We have our heart and soul and most of the money of this company invested in Buic interest, which is a part of every Buic owner who delights in having his car il perfect mechanical order at all times.

Our Underpaid Teachers

George Drayton Strayer, in l-eslie's.
 From data collected from more than 25,0o0 teachers from cities of all sizes throughout the United States, it appears that upon the basis of the salaries now laid teachers must spend from 75 to 100 per cent of the salaries that they receive for the bare necessities of life. Assum- ing that room and board should cost not more than 50 per cent of the teachers salary, and that other necessary expen- dturcs constitute the other 50 per cent. it las been found that in AS per cent of the cities teachers would have to spend more than 100 per cent of the maximum salary paid in these cities in order to have room and board of the quality pro- posed for them by the superintendent of schools and to meet the other necessary expenses involved in maintaining theil health providing colth.ng, securing books. engaging in work that looks n the direction of professional advance

Be Courteous to Nursemaids!
