ARTIST OR LABORER?
Status of Foreign Singers Brought
Here Hinges on Bodini Parole Case.

Release under temporary parole of
Urslio Bedini. italian tenor. detained
at Ellis Island as a contract laborer,
has been ordered by Commissioner of
Immigration Caminetti. The case of
Bodini, Mr.. Caminetti explained,
would furnish a vehicle for a de-
cision by the bureau Of immigration
on the entire question of whether the
contracts under which the bulk of
opera singers are brought to the
United States are in compliance with
the law. He said: There would be
no question that Caruso, Schumann-
Heink or singers of that class are
artists and immune from the provi-
sions of the law. But Bodini is a
second tenor and a member of the
chorus. The question we have to de-
eide is whether or not the lesser
people in the casts, those who may
sing occasionally, can be considered
artists too"

EQUALITY IN PAY
AIM Of TEACHERS
Grade and High School
Unions May Agree on Basic
Minimum Salaries.

| Equal pay. both for grade and high
school teachers in the local public
schools, probably will be sought from
Congress in the next District bill by the
two unions representing both classes of
teachers.
Committees of both unions have de-
cided to recommend basic salary of
$1,000 year during the probationary
Ieriod and $500 thereafter. 1t remains
only for the full membership of the
unions to indorse the recommendation
ment.
Officials of the Grade Teachers Union
will meet at 1923 New York avenue Fri
day night to discuss the salary ques-
ton. 1t is probable, however. that if one
scale is sought for both unions pro-
viso will be included that grade teachers
meet the same requirements called for
from high school teachers.
q. S. Bureau May Assist.
The aid of the United States bureau
of education in reclassifying posi-
tions and salaries in the local public
school system was practically assured
yesterday by conference between
local school officials and DR.. P. p.

of education.
The conference was attended by
Ernest L. ThurSton, superintendent of
schools; Rev DR.. John Van Schaick
jr, president of the board of educa-
ton: Miss Alice Deal president of the
High School Teachers Union, and
Miss Maude Alton, president of the
Grade Teachers Union. These repre-
sentatives made suggestions to the
commissioner to give him an idea of
the nature of the survey which they
desire to have made to determine
what changes should be sought in
the organization of the teaching
force and their salaries.

LOWER LIVING COST
PUT UP TO WOMEN
Should Do Own Thinking and
Own Marketing, Economic
Expert Says.

eff women would do their own
thinking and their own marketing,
they could quickly reduce food prices.
1t is up to the women of this country
to do that and not to legislators"
says Miss Grace Ferguson, economic
expert, who has just returned to
New York from Porto Rico, after an
absence of six years, according to a
statement of the Women's National
Economic Committee, % East 17th
street, New York city. She has spent
this time in teaching household
economics. to the women of Porto
Rico.
Miss Ferguson practically had an
entire nation to handle in the way of
an exhaustive study of foods and
prices in Porto Rico and taught
daily, making a round of fifty five
towns in which schools were eStab-
lished.
Method of Study Devised.
prices were affected in Porto Rico.
also" she says" but we devised a
method there by which women could
intelligently study prices and their
trend and keep their fingers firmly on
the pulse of the market. If the
women of America would do as the
seasonal chart of foods and their
prices, they would not have to wait
upon the squabblings and the delays
of any legislature to regulate food
prices.
Eggs, for instance, have a season.
just as fruit or vegetables have. II
women would buy when foods are In
season they could accomplish definite
results without radical reforms.
would advise every woman to keep
three simple charts on her kitchen
table. One for fresh fruits and vege-
tables. one for eggs and meat and one
for staple groceries. Each month she
for each and gradually she will learn
just why and when the prices fiuctuate.
,Snd buy accordingly. If she will use
each food when it is cheapest, she
will not only save money, but she
will have also conquered that fear Of
monotony in diet that is the bugbear
Of the housewife. She will always
out paying inflated prices for food that
is out of season.
Mature has established normal lines
for the various foods, but part Of our
trouble has been that the housekeep-
ers have tried to live on an abnormal
, .HeQule Dy OuylnS 1OOQS InaL are not
in season and. that are consequently
dear.
This is the thing that the women's
economic committee will accomplish,
because it is working in every state
and comparing notes as to prices in
various localities. We feel that such
legislative measures as the Kenyon
bill, for instance, will accomplish
nothing save to put the control of
food in the charge of a political ap-
pointee. The last state will be worst
than the first in that instance. If all
of the larger industries are licensed,
as this measure will attempt to do, it
means that one more high -salaried
political appointee must be taken
care of-and that money must come
from the people. Isn't it far better
for the housewife to regulate food
prices for herself in her own local.
ity?
The solution of the problem is in
the hands of the women of this coun-
try. They must be safely trusted to
take care of it. If they will do their
own marketing-and their own
thinking
