Would Seem to Be His Riqht.

A suggestion has been made that if the British flag is to be again unfurled above Helgoland, Henry Hedger, verger of the parish at Herne Bay, Kent, Eng, be engaged to raise the emblem. He 1t was who hauled down the Union Jack August 9, 1890, when the island passed into the control of the German empire. He was then a coast guardsman, and is now a wig orous man of between 60 and 70 years.
 Mrs. Hedger recalls her four years on the island chiefly by the birth of their youngest son, who grew up to be one of the contemptibles, who helped to hinder Prussia's march through France, but fell in the at tempt. The family left the island the day it was taken out of British con- trol, and while the pier was decorated with flags and bunting prior to the visit of the kaiser. All the British official population left at the same time.

OUR SUGAR

When we read that 1,25O,00O,00O pounds of sugar, worth $97, 7,000,000, were exported from this country during the first ten months of the present year, we begin to suspect that we have the key to our own acute shortage of commercial sweet mess. This impression is strengtheni ed when we read further that this quantity exceeded by 339 per cent the quantity exported during the same period in 1918. A billion ard a quarter pounds of sugar look like enough to relieve all the wants of the people of the United States.
 Of course, if we had kept all this sugar instead of letting it go to the relief of distressed Europe, the situa- tion here might have been helped, but when we venture a bit further into sugar figures we become impressed with our folly or our sacrifice, which ever we prefer to call it. While we were exporting one and quarter bill lion pounds to the whole of Europe, we were importing more than eight and a quarter billion pounds, valued at $481 ,424,000. What we resold wasn't, after all, so large a portion of what we, bought.
 We actually bought abroad, pr;n- cipally in Cuba, of course, about two billion more pounds in the first ten months of 1919 than we did during the corresponding period of 1918, or more than our total exports for the period. We had for our own use, after exportations, between 600,000,- 900 and 70O,000,000 more pounds of sugar in 1919 than we had in 1918

To Photograph q Star.

A discovery may be made photo graphically by some astronomer this fall or winter In the constellation Gem ini, according to Isabel M. Lewis of the United States naval observatory. It will be star of the fifteenth magni- tude in an elliptical orbit and has been difficult to find and identify because in the Milky Way there are countless sthers that are brighter.
 The orbits of all the planets ex- cepting Mercury, are nearly perfect circles, and discovery of a planet ex- terior to Neptune that moves in a greatly elongated ellipse will strike one more blow at the nebular hypothe- sis, which assumes, says Miss Lewis, that the planets almost circular orbits are due to the fact that originally they were thrown off as rings from con tracting solar nebula. m co
 Irregularities in the motion of Nep- tune indicate that the unseen planet is drawing near to Neptune and during this period of conjunction astronomers hope to determine the mass of the new body

A movement is on foot In California to turn the redwood forests of that state into great national memorial park to serve as a monument to the American war heroes. Those behind the proposal feel that there are many elements of deep and appealing inter est In the proposition. AS many of these giant trees were old when what the world calls civilization was young 1t Is felt that these trees of the ages belong not exclusively to any state nation, or people, but are the heritag, of the race and should be preservet for the recreation and pleasure of all the peoples of the earth. An additional argument in favor of establishing the National Redwood park is that it's es- tablishment would at once constitute great and much-needed constructive work of national conservation.

ASK RELIEF FROM
| DUTY OF TEACHING
Grade School Principals Also
Urge Better Pay-Write
Senator Curtis.

Better pay and relief from the duty
of teaching are asked by the principals
| of the white grade schools of the
District in letter sent today to SEN
| ator Curtis, chairman of the subcom-
mittee on District appropriations.
The letter was framed at a meet
| ing of the Principals Association of
the Graded White Schools in the
F. Thomson School yesterday. H. w.
Draper, principal of the Henry-Polk
School, presided.
The letter to Senator Curtis calls
attention to the fact that there are
| ninety-two principals in charge of
school buildings who have to give
more than four hours a day to the
! task Of managing the building in
addition to teaching a class for five
/ hours.
Other Cares Imposed.
The strain is increased, the letter
points out, by the fact that, while
teaching the principal is constantly
interrupted by telephone calls. ar
rival Of supplies and requests for in
formation.
ON top Of this double set of duties,
the principals point out to the senator
that they receive q basic salary of
$3.50, while young teachers. entering
high school classrooms from college,
start in at $1,000. A majority Of the
principals, according to Mr.. Draper,
have been in the service twenty years.
Their longevity allowance, also. is
smaller, he said, than that Of the high
| school teachers.
The letter asks the Senate to trans
| fer grade school principals from their
present salary rating in class 5, the
basic salary of which Is $3.50, to class
ga, the basic pay of which is $1,000.
Committee on Laws to Meet.
Thc snacial committee appointed by
the High School Teachers Union TO
-o.......nd to Congress changes in
! the school laws of the DlsrrlEt W.
hold it's first meeting at Mckinley
High School this afternoon.
Miss Alice Deal, president of the
UNION, who is a member OF the COM
mittee, said this morning she could
not speculate on the nature of the
changes which the committee will
consider.
The unions active support of Miss
! Alice Wood. the teacher who was sus.
pended for a week without a formal
trial, is regarded as an indication that
one Of the principal recommendations
Of the committee will be clause in
| the school law to prevent the board
of education from suspending a teach
er on an informal hearing.
It is possible that the committee
may also consider some change in the
method of having the judges Of the
District Supreme Court appoint the
| members Of the board of education.
