SENATORS OBJECT
TO HIGH SHIP COST

Doubts as to whether Congress will
give the Shipping Board S372, ooo,-
600 to finish its shipbuilding pro-
gram developed in the Senate Com
merce Committee today when Chair
man Hurley appeared to be ques-
toned
Senators began to raise questions
to to why Great Britain is building
ships for $3.50 to $3.50 a ton as
against a cost in the Emergency
Fleet Corporations yards Of sos
a ton.
British builders raised their
figures for foreign concerns to $40
to $3.50 a ton.
Hurley explained that future con-
struction in American yards would
be less expensive due to changed
peace-time conditions.
Does anyone think we will be able
to operate an American Merchant
Marine successfully if it is capital
lied on basis of war costs?" Senator
Harding, Ohio, asked in raising the
subject.
We are contemplating competi-
ton with the world" he said. SEN
aIors Fletcher. Florida; Chamberlain.
Oregon, and others on the committee
raised doubts that American con-
Germs could make a sufficient return
on these ships built at war prices and
still meet foreign rates.

WILL GET
BELATED PAY SOON

! More than 1000 Washington school
teachers will receive their longevity
pay for May this month as a result
Of the inclusion of an item for 49,
600 in the third deficiency aPpropria-
ton bill passed by the Senate yes
terday.
About so per cent of the longevity
salary Of the teachers was held up
last month, because of the discovery
Of a shortage in the school funds
just before pay day.
Both high school and grade school
teachers held meetings Of protest
and asked the Board Of Education to
prevent-if possible-further school
salary mix-ups The high school
mentors also asked the board to
close the schools in the future, If it
becomes apparent that the pay roll
cannot be met.
1t was brought out by the instruc-
tors that the school employees direct
ly responsible for the delay in dis
covering the shortage received their
pay checks on time. although the
teachers were obliged to wait.
Responsibility for the salary mud
die was generally placed on the
Board of Education-the teachers
declaring that the directors" Of an
institution should know more than
few hours ahead whether the pay
roll could be met or not.
The legislative committee of the
grade school teachers union is en-
deavoring to induce the Senate to
provide a minimum salary Of $1,000
for the public school teachers of
Washington.

WOMEN Who SMOKE
NOW PUFF PIPES

LONDON. June 11.-Smoking by
women will no longer be confined to
the poverty stricken or to the rural
districts. according to tobacconists
here. A member of the trade has
disclosed publicly that short cigar
cites of large diameter are now
smoked in holders resembling pipes
by numerous women Of all stations.
It is supposed that this practice
will lead to the appearance soon Of
highly ornamental pipes for women
to use with real pipe tobacco. To-
bacconists say that increasing con-
sumption by women accounts for the
shortage Of cigarettes.
Some of the London papers print
today pictures Of an officer and
bride, both smoking cigarettes i'm
mediately after the ceremony, the
bride still wearing her wedding gown
More women smokers are seen at the
bathing beaches and on the Thames
this summer than ever before. Many
are becoming proficient in rolling
