problems which will have early atten-
tion here"
Doctor Finegan does not believe a
proper teaching force can be created un-
less a relatively high minimum wage
is paid teachers. As he expressed it,
"You cannot get good teachers unless
your standard is high, and you cannot
maintain high standard unless the
salaries paid are Attractive 1t was
largely Doctor Fincgan's efforts that
gave Ncw York the teachers minimum
wage law.
"ln New York" said Doctor Fine
gan. 1--WE have just put through one
of the most comprehensive salary meas
urcs in the country. 1t was a state
wide measure and applied to every
teacher. In New York city it fixes the
minimum salary at which teacher may
be employed on kindergarten or clc-
montary school at $1,000 year, and
provides for twelve annual incrcmcnts
of $lO1 each. based. of course, on
efficiency and satisfactory service.
Every teacher in the system in New
York city who renders efficient service
will Mt the end of twelve years receive

In PENNSYLVANIA there is measure
in tho Legislature increasing salaries
of teachers. have not analyzcd the
bill carefully. have not felt that
ought to inject myself into legislative
problems until ! really get into the
work. But whatever is done will be
an Improvement. The bill carries an
appropriation of $4,000 900 to aid To-
caltcS in increasing salaries. From
what the Governor and several members
Of the Legislature have said there is no
doubt of til" passage of this measure. e.
Unless some relief of this character
IS afforded there undoubtedly will hc a
great shortage of teachers in the state.

the covering note of the allied reply to
the Germans on June 16 announced
concessions which are not contained in
the altered text of the peace treaty.
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau asks
how far the Allies bind themselves to
these concessions, and requests written

Modern Health Crusaders
Plan For School Children

ARgE movement is bein started in
this city by the Middlesex County An
ti-T~uberculosis League, which has
been going on for some time in several
places throughout the county. 1t Is
called the Modern Health Crusaders,
and is to be formed among the school
children of the city for the purpose of
In more healthy conditions, and the
league hopes that through the medium
of the children that they will eventual
iy be able to reach the parents. and
thus improve greatly the state of ex-
istence of many of the families
throughout the place In which this
crusader movement is being held.
Each room In a school constitutes
q club and every school is q league.
III a boy or girl wishes to become a
part of this Modern Health Crusader
organization, he or she Is enrolled on
the records of the crusaders and is
given a chart, which has thereon a list
of eleven chores which must be per-
formed every day faithfully by the
crusaders, n there Is a place on tho
chart where a record may be kept of
these chores. If seventy-five per cent.
of the chores are done for a period of
three weeks the crusader is made a
Gage and is given a button signifying
that fact. At the enc Of three more
weeks the crusader has conferred on
him or her the title of squire, and
when ten weeks have passed by, he or
she is honored with a knighthoo cd, and
receives a silver pin In recognition
thereof. The highest honor that can
be attained by the crusaders is ring
bannerette. and this Is bestowed upon
those who after a period OF fifteen
weeks can exhibit q fine record, and
with this honor goes a gold pin.
The chores which the children must
perform are as follows: Washing
n before meals. washing face, ears
n neck and cleaning finger nails,
Keeping fingers, pencils and everything
unclean out of the mouth, drinking
water before meals and bedtime and
no drinking OF tea and coffee. brushing

ment Fraud
MISS NICHOLS ESTATE
ALSO UP FOR PROBATE

Wills of two former residents of An
napolis who died recently were filed
for probate today in the Orphans
Court for Anne Arundel county. are
of interest to many residents of the
city. The documents were those OF
John s. Wilmington, for over 40 years
crier of the Maryland Court of APP
peals. and the other, Miss Mamie b.
Nichols, who had been active as So
cial worker about the city for a num-
ber of years.
In the case of Mr.. Wilmington two
wills were filed. they having been
executed a little more than year
apart. To the first will, a caveat
has been filed, fraud, undue influence.
etc. have been charged. The Court
has not yet passed action as to the
caveat.
Under the provisions of the first will
Of the decedent, which was executed
November %, 1918, st. Anne's Pro-
testant Episcopal Church and the An
napolis Emergency Hospital were
made beneficiaries in the sums of ST.
600 and $4,000, respectively, along
with other beQuests.
The document recorded by the Court
today as the last will and testament
of Mr.. Wilmington was executed Oc-
tober 16, 1919. and 1t Is materially diff
ferent from the first will. Under IL,
the testator bequeths 500 to his niece.

other things, that the decedent was
not of sound and disposing mind. and
not capable of the execution of valid
deed or contract; that the will was OBJ
tanned by fraud. and asks the Court for
an inquiry of the matter by a jury.

Mr.. Trautwein says the cutting of
the glass has been done with deliber-
alton, as a chalk mark had been ruled
across the window, and this line fol-
lowed by the instrument used in the
cutting, probably diamond. The

ALL MARRY IN BURMAH
Prof. Stevens Tells Of Economic
And Exemplary Housewives
NO OLD MAIDS THERE

"Burmah women said one al the
close of the talk made yesterday af-
ternoon by Prof W. o. Stevens in the
lecture room of the Presbyterian
Church, Ought to come here as mis-
sionaries." The remark was tased
upon the assertion made by Dr. Stew
ems that women in Burmah. the land
of his birth, were most economic
housewives and managed affairs at
home with the strictest economy and
business method.
Prof Stevens said his grandfather,
as well as his parents, had lived in
Burmah as missionaries. and he lived
there until he was 12 years old. His
mother did the missionary work in
Burmah. similar to that done here by
the District Nurse, looking after and

CADETS ON THE WING
AT MCDOWELL HALL
ST. Tohn's Students Hear Lecture
On Air Flight Of
NC 3
BY LT.-coMDR. LAVENDER

All the thrills of being adrift in a
crippled hydroplane for a period of
sixty-five hours, without water for the
greater part of the time and with
hardly any food, tossed about by waves
80 feet in height, compelled to stand
on the wing of the broken machine to
preserve its balance, were vividly de-
scribed in a.. lecture by Lieutenant
Commander Lavender, who was a
member of the crew of the ill-fated
plane N-C.-3 when she was lost few
months ago in an attempt to establish
the record of being the first airDlane
to cross the Atlantic. The lecture of
Commander Lavender was delivered
last night before the student body OF
ST. Johns College. 1t was illustrated
with stereoptican slides, which cover
ed every part of the history of the NJ
C.-3 from the time of its building to
its arrival at Ponta Delgada, Azores,
as wreck.
Commander Lavender described
minutely every detail of the slides as
they appeared on the screen. The first
views showed the luckless plane under
construction, and others followed il
out in it's brief career and vainly at
tempted exploit
The wingspreadr of the huge shir
was I26 feet, and its crew, of which
Commander Lavender was radio oper
ator, consisted of six men. The others
were two pilots, navigator, and twt

NAVY'S ALLOTMENT
Of FOOTBALL CARDS
MORE THAN USED UP

Subscriptions and requests for
tickets for the annual Army-Navy
football game to he played on the
Polo Grounds, New York, on Novem-
her 20, have more than gone beyond
the flood gates of officials Of the Navy
Athletic Association, it was announc-
ed today. The situation is like call
for help by the athletic body, and
the officials want it to be know that
positively no more requests will lie
given consideration, be they from
members of the Association or not.
To be exact, 1t was announced to-
day that the Association already is
more than 1000 oyersubscribed, and
every mail~is bringing a deluge of re-
quests. The same condition prevails
with the Army Athletic Council at
West Point, it is said.
The distribution of the tickets this
year was placed entirely in hands
with the athletic associations of the
respective academies. The New York
Exhibition Company, owners of the
Polo Grounds, having decided not to
interfere with any of the arrange
ments along this line. The company
will. of course, gets its proportion OF
receipts. This is a question to he de-
cided upon later.
The fact that the sale of the tickets
has been conducted by the two acad-
,emies indicates that the contest is
not being staged as a money-nlaking
scheme. as would be ordinarily be the
case, with other championship games
In other words the tickets, were
priced at So. and $3.50, based upon
the location of the seats. First of all
the Navy Association limited the num-
her of tickets to the members, to two
instead of three. as heretofore, in ar
effort to meet the heavy demand an
ticipated, and certain allotment was
made therefore. although provision
was made that additional tickets
could be secured from the allotment
that was set aside therefore.
The Navy officials had charge of tht
distribution of $1,000 and so has thu
Army, as the actually seating capacity
of the Polo Grounds, is $4,000. i
may be seen therefore the stupendoul
task that the service officers under
/ took.

Strong Movement To Abolish
Illiteracy In State
STEPHENS TO EXPLAIN

twenty-five prominent citizens OF
the state will be guests of the State
Board of Education to luncheon at

row, at which a movement will be
launched to abolish ilffteracy in Mary
land and through public schools to
make every Marylander a 100 per

DIR. NJ Bates Stephens, state super
intendent of public education, will an
nounce and explain the idea which
the state board has formulated to
bring every child in the state within
the scope OF the public schools and
through the public schools inculcate
more deep rooted and abiding re-
spect for the American government
and for American institutions. The
movement had its birth in the nation

education of uliteracy. One of the
propositions Is that the American
creed shall be recited at the opening
session OF each school every day. not
only in state-controlled schools, but
in all private schools.
President Goodenow, OF Johns
Hopkins University; Dr. Thomas
Lewis, president of Western Mary
land College, who is member of the
state board: DR.. Fell. president of st.
Johns College, this city; Governor
Harrington, Mayor Broening and Gov
ernor-elect Albert C. Ritchie are ex-
pected to be among the principal
speakers.
The first proposition to be advanced
will be that the state compulsory
school attendance law shall be rigidly
enforced. During the war period
and since the close of the war the
enforcement of the law has been lax
ecause of the need of children on the
farm, in stores and in factories.
