FAVORS
THE TEACHERS
Speaks For the Proposed In
crease of Salaries
in State

Representatives of Philadelphia
school teachers who called upon
Senator Renrose proposed that from
s6,0C9,O0O to $7,OOO,OOO be raised
for salary increases for the States
teachers by levying a tax on man
uIbctUrcrs or a tax on coal sales.
The teachers went to Senator PEN
roses office to thank him for the
support he is giving in the Legis-
lature 10 the Woodruff bill to in
crease teachers salaries.
This is not a sentimental ques-
ton. School teachers are not being
paid living wages in Pennsylvania.
They are the most underpaid of all
public servants" said the Senator.
ITO increase their salaries is a
matter of procuring additional rev.
enue. | have talked with Governor
Sproul regarding this matter. 1t has
been suggested, as one speaker has
said, tfat small tax be placed on
manufacturers. This is a new prop
osition. The manufacturers could
probably stand the strain, but thus
TAR Il has reen the custom to avoid
any tax upon manufacturers for the
purpose OF encouraging State indus
tries. The coal tax is also a new
matter and must be carefully con-
sidered."
Miss Margaret Noble, of the
Teachers Grub, and DIR. j. Eugene
Baker. OF the Philadelphia Teach
Srs' -AssC ciat'Cn, addressed the SEN
ator. They expressed views that the
only thing now in the way of OBJ
tanning the increases was the rails
ing of the revenue needed. They
said they were counting on Penrose
to help find way of obtaining it.
Announcement that a Board of
Public Charities ripper is contem-
plated caused a stir yesterday
among politicians in Philadelphia,
and it was declared that the plan
would not meet the approval of
Governor Sproul. Shortly after his
election the Governor paid a high
tribute to the Board of Public Char
tiles and announced that during his
adm mis- tration the recommendation
of the body would be closely follow
ed and that the organization would
be a mere potential factor than ever
before. Since then the board had
made recommendation for the va
rious institu tons receiving State aid
and it is generally accepted that the
Governor will be guided by the find
ings when the time comes to scan
the Appropriation bills passed by the
General AIS ssembly.

pear against Nate Isaacman on
Ihursday night as he will not box
anywhere before that date. Young
Fulton is training faithfully for the
bout with Dick Gotwalt and hopes
to win decisively from the little
York slugger.
Harrisburg fans have already
seen Eddie Dundee defeat Larry
Hansen and Joe Phillips there this
season. Many critics believe Dundee
is going to be a champion. When he
agreed to meet Tommy Carey Thurs
day night he showed that he had the
confidence in himself, for Carey has
boxed two champions, Benny Leon
ard and Jack Britton, and scores of
near champions. Dundee has seen
him box and knows what a rip-tear-
ing fighter he is. You can be sure
that Eddie will be in great shape
Thursday night and if we don't add
Carey to our list of wins it won't be
our fault"
1t is believed that this weeks
show at the Motive Power will be
something of surprise. little pub
licity has been given. but the con-
testants are all capable of giving a
real exhibition of the manly art.
Young Carey, as Ettinger indicates.
is some battler, among his victims
was Joe Phillips, who is a hard man
to beat. Carey is no tenderfoot, but
has had long experience, so Dundee
will walk up a step toward cham
pionship If he wins from this lad on
Thursday.

Intruding Summer Warmth
Persuades Timid Buds to
Make Their Appearance

Summer warmth intruded into sun
#day's weather yesterday and by even
ling had persuaded timid buds to make
ztheir appearance on trees and bushes
/ all over the city. The cool air of the
Iearly morning gave way before the
zwarm rays of the April sun and by
moon top coats were cast aside ana
hundreds of men and women ala their
sunday walking but lightly clad.
Women threw open their Kitchen
doors to let the sun flood their throne
rooms. Children scampered into back
yards and old men once more were
Hound with pipe in mouth on the
traditional bench upon which they had
rested before chilling November winds
drove them beside their housewives

In Capitol Park signs of spring were
lin evidence. The lively squirrels
scampered and chartered in the grass
that seemed greener than the day be-
fore They ate from the hands OF chill
dren, turning saucily away when they
found that what they were offered was
not of their liking.
Along the river shore the park was
filled with walkers throughout the day
and until evening when wind from the
river drove hundreds who had basked
in the sunshine for several hours back
to their homes.
The front porch again came into
favor and on streets where the after
noon sun shonc brightly whole families
could be seen enjoying the glorious
weather Spring was trying to creep
into the lap of summer and for several
hours nearly succeeded.

Must Go to Save Party

Washington. D. c., April IF the
Democratic party is to avoid another
defeat at the hands of the Republ-

rid of such leaders a Speakers Clark,
Floor Leader Kitchin and others not

The war on the Democratic leaders
is being waged by the Democratic
Reorganization Committee, which is
making strenuous efforts to start a
backfire of sentiment among Demo-
Gratis of the country for change.
The old leaders deny there is any
following of consequence to the re-
organization movement and predict
that Speaker Clark will be next MOOR
leader in the House. Representative
Ayers declared to-day that, instead
of meeting Republican attacks last
session, the Democratic leaders sat
back, seemingly to say. Hit us

FORD'STEAM CHAMPIONS

The prediction by Manager. Cor
don Ford that Saturday night would
see the closest, hardest battle of the
season was surely materialiZed with
the Independents victory over ST.
Columbia five, of Philadelphia, who
beat the field in the Philadelphia
American League. The score was
41-27, very decisive, and it is not
likely the Tech claim will be dis
puted.
The result might have been differ

former, Jack Lawrence, been in the

very able substitute. However. Hoss
Haggerty held him scoreless. Brown,
of the visitors, made real basketball
history. a record which will never
be forgotten here. He was way back
on his own field when he shot the
pellet all the way to its nest, making
a perfect toss.
The second half saw the Indepen-
dents get in their best licks. Two

1 ALUMNI BODY
Graduates of School Invited
to Attend Easter Banquet
of Centralian Society

Plans are rapidly being completed for
the Eastertide banquet which the Cen
sralian Society of Central High School
will hold in this city on April IS.
Announcement was made yesterday
by the committee in charge of arrange
ments that all Central alumni students
=and friends would be welcome at the big
stunt" which promises to be one long
remembered in scholastic circles.
For some time the impression has been
growing among old grads" of the school
pm this city, that with the passing of
F'Old Central as a coeducational insti-
Fution. a permanent alumni organization
Should be formed for the benefit of the
boys who have studied in the far-famed
Pld Harrisburg High school," which
later became the Central High of to-
day.
Numbered among the alumni of the
institution are a vast majority of the
business leaders of Harrisburg and vi
|cinity. numbering among them the pres
|ent Lieutenant-GoverAor of Pennsylva-
hia. In athletics, Central High has long
|held the spotlight in the high school
world Her athletes have, during the
past fiften years. carried off most of the
6ilverware in sight.
Numerous alumni think that to let an
6nstitution such as this pass without
recognition, would be serious mistake,
hnd without doubt preliminary steps to-
ward the organization of an active
alumni body will be taken at the coming
big feed"
All Central Alumni students and
Friends OF the institution who wish TO
h ttend the banquet which will be held at
h 80 Wednesday evening, April %. are
invited to get in touch with the chair
hnan of the committee. w. Lowrte Kay,
