"The teachers of Waukegan ap-
pointed committee to petition the
Board of Education for an increase in
salary, which was unanimously grant
ed. We received a two hundred dol
lar raise, and conditions seem favor
able for better salary next year.
81 understand the teachers in the
rural schools of Illinois receive from
seventy to one hundred dollars a
month, and the teachers in the city
schools not less than a hundred"
1t seems only fair to state in de-
tense of st. Francois County School
Boards, however, that most of them
are paying their teachers maximum
salaries under existing laws and con-
ditions. AS has been repeatedly stat
ed through this column, the fault in
the great majority of cases can only
be remedied by the amending of our
present State Constitution or by the
adoption of new Constitution. Ev-
cry citizen is a sovereign and should
recognize and use his right as such
to assist in properly changing the fun
damental law of the state when the
next occasion offers. 1t is planned
to show in detail how the Constitut-
ton could be changed to such desid-
able end at sometime in the not far
distant future. A clear explanation
would require considerable space and
for that reason is not attempted now.

which includes the above,

which includes the above.
The three following suggestions
ought to be adopted, although their
adoption is not made a requirement:
Q) A thermometer should be so
placed as to show the average temper
allure Of the room.
(2) There should be three or four
pictures, at least, framed and covered
with glass on the walls.
(3) The school should receive an
Agricultural paper.
The subject of teachers salaries is
one that will continue to receive at
tention from time to time through this
column. The County Superintendent
recently wrote Miss Marcia Townsend
Of Waukegan, Illinois, as follows:
81 was interested in reading news
item last week in which the statement
was made that your salary had been
just about doubled since leaving the
Pennington schools. | am greatly in
terested in the matter of teachers
salaries and would be pleased to hear
from you as to what the actual facts
are in your case, and also as to any
general statements which you may be
able to make regarding teachers sal
aries in the state of Illinois. 1t will
give me pleasure to embody such in
formation furnished by you in my
County School Notes that it may thus
serve as an additional contribution to
the efforts made for the betterment of
educational conditions in st. Francois
county and in the State of Missouri.
To this letter Miss Townsend made
the following reply:
81 am glad to know that you are in
terested in salaries of teachers and the
betterment of educational conditions.

Chalmers Hot Spot
Makes Unusual Miles
on a Gallon Of Gas

The Chalmers Hot Spot" and
Transform Manifold" are receiving
nationwide attention, according to
J c. Stubs of the Western Motor
Car company.
THE question of utilizing low
grades of fuel has become one Of
vital importance to those whose mo-
tor mileage amounts 10 consider
able figure and motor fans through
out the country seem to feel that
the Chalmers folks have taken a
big step In the solution Of
this problem through their latest
achievement" said lir. Stubs.
The motorists of California are
attaining unusual results with dis
tillate, a low grade by-product,
which is used to Tome extent as
motor fuel. From the standpoint
of combustion, distillatel ranks
somewhere between gasoline and
kerosene, and of course is corr
spondingly low IN price.
Buyers who attended the Omaha
automobile show were quite en-
thusiastic regarding the Chalmers
Hot Spot" This enthusiasm is
bound to spread as violence of the
unusual mileage IS bi ought to
light"

new TRIAL FOR
Man ACCUSED OF
CAR PART THEFT
Howard Lee Given Another
Chance to Prove His limo
cence by the State
Supreme Court.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, March 22.-Howard Lee,
convicted in Furnas county March
IS of stealing 5000 worth of automo-
bile accessories and sentenced to
from one to seven years in the state
penitentiary was released on $1,000
bond and his sentence was suspend
ed by ruling of the supreme court
Saturday on the ground of error
of instruction by the court.
In another ruling, the court in the
case wherein the heirs of the estate
OF Frank Iams, formerly a wealthy
horse trader at St. Paul, Neb.. sued
the state for $4,000 alleged to have
been deposited in the State Bank of
Decatur which failed, granted the
appellant leave to file printed brief
by March 81. 1919 on the motion for
rehearing. The state contended
that Iams was not entitled TO any
reimbursement from the guaranty
fund because the $4,000 was not a
deposit, but a loan to the bank
drawing a high per cent of interest.
The supreme cont upheld the state.

Public Utility Bill
For Smaller Cities
Ready to Report Out
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, March 22.-After re-
naming in the hands OF the house
judiciary committee for about four
weeks, the public utility condemna-
ton bill for Lincoln and smaller
cities, introduced by Senator Peter
son, will be reported out with
amendments Monday and placed on
the house calendar. The amend
ments, with one exception, are
those which Peterson agreed to in
order to meet certain objections.
The period in which the city may
accept the price for a public utility,
as fixed by appraisers, or abandon
the condemnation proceeding by
paying the expenses in connection
Herewith, is increased from go to
90 days, so as to allow time for
referendum, if dissatisfied citizens
want one.
The vital features of the bill-the
provision for a preliminary popular
vote upon the question of purchas-
ing, before any condemnation steps
are taken, and the one allowing the
municipality to back out if the price
fixed is too high-are both retained.
These were objected to by attor-
neys for the Traction and Gas COM
panies of Lincoln.
Upon its own motion, the COM
mittee added an amendment, pro-
viding that where part of the plant
lies outside the zone to which the
city's jurisdiction is limited, the
court of condemnation may take
into account in fixing the price, the
value of the detached property that
is not taken over, and which is
thereby rendered useless from an
operating standpoint:

PEACE PACT MAY
Be AMENDED BY
A MAJORITY VOTE.
This Will Give Opponents Of
League Advantage in Fight
in Senate, Declares
Senator B0rah.

Washington March 22.-Reports
from Paris of plans to entwine the
constitution of the league of nations
inextricably in the peace treaty de-
veloped discussion today among
senator's still in Washington OF
questions of senate procedure not
hitherto emphasized.
Although two-thirds vote of the
senate is required for ratification OF
treaties, senator's pointed out that
under the rule amendments may be
adopted by a majority vote. Sena-
tor Borah of Idaho. republican, a
critic of the league plan, declared
this would give opponents distinct
advantage as it would enable bare
majority to revise the league consti-
tuition or separate it from the peace
treaty.
Other senator's, however, said the
majority rule might we'll become an
important asset Of senator's support
ing the league. The latter believe
considerable majority of the men,
bership favor league of some de-
scription, although they estimate
that more than majority oppose
the existing draft.
Senator Poindexter of Washing
ton, republican, in q formal state
ment tonight, said the efforts to CO.
cree the United States into an ac-
ceptance of the league of nations by
weaving the plan into the peace
treaty was unafair. He said sufii-
cient number of senators to insure
defeat of the league already was on
record against it and added that
publ: sentiment in this country is
overwhelmingly against it."
