The Teachers Salary
This Is a Story of Detroit

striking example of the difference between wages
and salaries is shown in article printed below It appeared
in the Detroit Journal
This subject is of especial interest to Washington
because Washington is essentially salary community
Conditions in Detroit not comparable with those in
Washington Detroit teachers receive pay than do
those in the District who notably underpad Detroit
antors get higher wages than those of Washington who
are also underpaid
But the article may be instructive to those who ask
why women desert the schools for other vocations:

That Restaurant Episode.

The action of the manager Of a
cafeteria in discharging the en-
ployes responsible for the humilis-
ton there of two soldiers who sought
service in their shirt sleeves and
were refused, and in offering to
make apologies or other amends,
will doubtless end indignation over
that incident.
The proprietors of business estab-
lishments are not always able TO
control the personal conduct Of en-
ployes who do not possess judgment
and tact. 1t is a hardship upon a
proprietor to be punished for the
mental delinQuencies Of his en-
pioyes if their conduct is not knoWh
to him. All Washington establish
ments seek the good will Of tia
public.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

time. and have grown very fond OF
her. Now ] only see her once A
month. Sometimes. when / go to
her house, I feel have nerve to
tell her that | love her. but have
no idea how to begin il. Will you
please tell me how | could prove
TO her that ] love her.
ANXIOUS.
Tell her so in the simplest way
YOU can, and prove it to her after
ward. Perhaps you have the idea
that your affection should be ex-
pressed in formal phrases. This is
by no means the case. The young
girl will appreciate your avowal
much more if it seems sincere and
unstudied.

Ny dear girl, the fact that your
sweetheart is so willing to tell you
untruths now, is a grave warning
that you would have little peace Of
