WAR DEPT. REFUSES
TO LOAN GAS MASKS


Refusal Of the war department to
lend the state of Oregon 1000 gas
masks to be used in fighting forest
fires is likely to start some legisla.
tion providing that the thousands of
masks left over from the war be
placed at the disposal of the proper
authorities in the wooded regions of
the country where they can be put
to some useful service, according to
q dispatch received in Portland from
Washington.
f. A. Elliott, Oregon State forester
made the request for the masks thru
Senator Chamberlain, who was in
formed that the department was will
ing to sell the masks at IS each.
Answering the request, the chemical
warfare service said that these masks
had proved valuable in fighting fires
and that many of them are now in
use by the fire fighting organiza I.
tions of municipalities.
The war department has laid down
a set of rules under which applica-
tions may be made for the purchase
of the masks.

a large number of families who pre-.
viously resided in the county had
moved into those ship-building sec.
tions where wages were attractive
and where the heads of the families
were better able to aid Uncle Sam
in downing the Kaiser.
In spite Of the epidemic, the per
cent of attendance was 94.3 percent
or about the same as for the pre-
vious year
! The clerks reports show that
teachers wages have not been raised
in accordance with the cost of liv-
ing. The average salary paid fe-
male teachers in Jackson county Is
only s77.54. The average monthly
salary paid men teachers is $125.OS,
while the average salary in the sew
enty-five one-room schools is only
$66.03 per month.
AS a result of low wages for
teaching, there is great scarcity
of teachers. A few of the schools
are raising salaries from $65 or $40
to 500 or more dollars q month,
but they still meet with difficulty In
getting Fralned teachers. This is
especially true in the rural sections
where the average salary during the
past year was only $66,O3 per month
and for an average Of Just little
over eight months of school for the
entire year. The new minimum sal
ary law will require salaries to be
raised to at least SIS a. month for
at leastseight months, but this is not
sufficieIit Teachers salaries are
not keeping pace with the cost of
living. The superintendent states
that salaries will have to be increas-
ed considerable if the schools are to
maintain a high standard of eff
cheney.
