RESEARCH BUREAU
FOR TEACHERS BILL
Salary Increases Called Neces-
sary to Make virtuous and
Enlightened Citizens
QUICK. ACTION is NEEDED

In an appeal for the enactment of
laws providing salary increases for
school teachers the Bureau Of Municipal
Research, in its latest bulletin, declares
that almost century has passed with
out progress in this line.
The adage, Virtue may be its own
reward. but you can't live on it, is
made the opening of an argument for
passage of the Woodruff BILL which car
ries 20 per cent salary boost.
The bulletin, in part, follows:
"Tn this country the schoolmaster.
as he is termed, does not enjoy that
consideration which the services re-
Quired of him and the talents necessary
to perform these services ought to con
fer on him. The men who are intrusted
to form the minds of the youth of this
country, and to direct their expanding
energies, should be classed as a profes-
sion of the highest order.
Deserve Liberal Reward
Their labors are great. their services
are valuable. and therefore their re-
ward should be SO liberal as to attract
the best talents. 1t is a melancholy
truth that in most parts of the country,
even in New England, the occupation
of Schoolmaster yields less profit than
that derived from the humblest mcchan-
| ical labor. Can any rational
man think that the talents and acquire
ments that ought to be impaired can
be obtained for such wages?
"If a system of education is to be
established let the scale Of expenditure
be liberal let it form an important de :
partment of the government; let every
man connected with its administration,
from the head of the department to the
humblcst teacher, be considered as a
highly valuable public servant, and as
such enjoy liberal reward.
For Enlightened Citizens
LET this be done. and though the
public schools will yield no revenue,
they will annually contribute to the
republic something more valuable a
body of virtuous and enlightened citi
zens. Report of house committee on

POLES AND JEWS AT ODDS
Difference Of Opinion Regarding
Conditions Results In Disorders

An extra force of patrolmen has
been detailed in the ncighborhood of
Allegheny avenue and Richmond street
today to prevent fights and disorder
among the Jews and Poles of that neigh
borhood.
Trouble has been brewing ever since
the protest meeting held by the Jew
ish people at the Metropolitan Opera
House. The Poles assert that the
Jewish claim of injustice is unfounded
and have made arrangements to hold
mass meeting to give their version
of the trouble in Europe.
incidentally the Poles learned yes
tcrday that the Jews were arranging
to hold another mass meeting next
Sunday in the heart of the Polish dis
trict at Richmond street and ALE =
gheny avenue. Several fights took
place yesterday.

j. q. Moore, retired farmer of In
dianola, Miss, decided to make a trip
which would include almost a score OF
states, and his best judgment was
called upon to choose a car that would
stand the trip and give satisfaction.
He had no trouble in making up his
mind, knowing the principles of the
Franklin car-and it was his Franklin
that made this trip, as related in his
own words.
In March, 1917, l purchased a series
touring car from the Franklin Auto
company at st. Louis, Mo-, and started
this trip that has brought me to Phoe-
nix. With two passengers and an 500
pound touring outfit, we toured across

OVERLAND MAKES
GREAT PROGRESS
SAYS PRESIDENT

Remarkable progress is the way
John N. WHY'S, president of the Will
lys-Overland company, expressing his
satisfaction after a weeks visit in To-
ledo spent in intimate study of condi-
lions today at the big Overland plant
In conference with executives, Mr.
WHY'S, during the week approved the
plans for r. huge production program
scheduled for the two new models the
company will market this year. These
new cars are Overland 4. which is now
IN quantity production, and the new
Willys-Knight model.
Production of Overland already
has passed 300 per day" Mr.. WHY'S
said. Within a short time / expect
that the scale of production at the To-
ledo plant will equal any previous fig
ureS in the history of the company
and from then on should surpass for
mer records" The plant here now
ranks second in the country's total
production of automobiles.
Although the new Overland was de-
signed two years ago, and engineering
models have been under constant test
Tor that entire period, factory produc-
tion plans" Mr.. WHY'S said. "could not
be started until late last November,
when the armistice released the plant
from war work. And yet In August
this year, Overland 4 was in produe-
ton.
Usually it requires a full year OF
more for an automobile company,
however well equipped, to get under
way with new model. Even then
the manufacturer generally has the
advantage OF being able to use many
or the dies and tools necessary for
previous models, or he is able. with
very slight changes, to incorporate in
the. new model, some former parts,
such as axles, steering gear and the
like.
But Overland and tha new WHY'S
Knight differ from any other cars
heretofore made at Toledo. Parts from
former models could not be used. This
meant starting out new from the bot
tom up.
Eight thousand special dies and
tools had to be designed, built and in.
stalled at the Toledo plant to take care
OF the 10000 operations on the Over
land 4, alone. Markets for raw ma
terials which had been greatly dis
turbed by war conditions. had to be
organized. Factory methods and
routine had to be changed over from
war work. A great quantity of new
machinery had to be built and In
stalled.
"A tremendous iobl And It was ac-
comphshed in the face Of extraordi-
nary difficulties between the months
OF November. 1918, and August Of this
year. This. in spite of delays common
to all manufacturers in getting mater
ials, parts. dies and tools. on which
our program depended. and in spite Of
the shortage Of labor which all man
ufacturers have encountered since the
war.
We could use more labor in certain
classes OF work today. In this we are
no different from other manufacturers
but we are overcoming this difficulty
and more houses in Toledo would ma
terially help right now.
I am very gratified to find every
thing moving so harmoniously
throughout the entire Toledo plant
More than 10000 men are at work;
materials are flowing in satisfactorily
and production is growing every day

GREAT ENDURANCE
SHOWN BY OAKLAND

The Oakland Arizona Sales company
was visited last Friday by E. II. Dut-
ton, mining man of Los Angeles,
whose business carries him to the most
isolated mining districts of Arizona.
Dutton makes his trips in an Oakland
Sensible Six roadster.
81 have never asked anything of the
little roadster she has not done" said
Mr.. Dutton, "and besides myself and
another man, l carry over 1000 pounds
of luggage. l am still on my first set
of tires and am now nearing 5000 miles.
My spark plugs were not cleaned I'M
til I had run 5000 miles,"
Mr.. Dutton stated that he averaged
1917 miles per gallon of gasoline on all
the mountain trips he made. including
the Apache trail, and also stated he
got 26 miles to the gallon in California,
on the good roads.
"Mr. Dutton is only one Of many who
have visited us during last week prais-
ing the Oakland Sensible Six" said S.
L. Knox, "and l am more fully con-
WINGED every day that the Oakland is
one of the best automobiles built for
every kind of work"

MAXWELL TRUCK
MAKING RECORD
ON GREAT TRIP

The remarkable record being made
by the Maxwell entrant in the National
Motor Truck Development Tour, now
close to the end of its history making
5000 mile trip through six middle west
ern states, WILSON cease to be a claim
and will be matter OF record. Trav-
cling over some of the toughest roads
in the country, bearing burdens many
rounds in excess of its rated capacity,
he Maxwell truck is exhibiting its in
herent virtues of sturdiness and eco
nomical consumption of gasoline and
oil far above the factory expectations.
Travelling sometimes loaded, some
times empty, over all kinds of high
ways, the truck has averaged 1874 miles
to the gallon of gas and approximately
1850 miles to the gallon of oil. These
figures were taken from the records
kept by driver Percy Gibbs from day
10 day through the first twenty five
towns from Chicago to Devils Lake,
y. DID, along the route of the tour
The following kilograms from Gibbs
received at the factory tell a graphic
story of accomplishment under condi-
tons which would be prohibitive to
many trucks:
Maxwell truck with tour made a
demonstration September s, of hauling
200 pounds of furnace twenty nine
miles. On the next day we hauled O.
500 pounds of bottled pop twenty nine

CHINESE GOES
To HEAVEN IN
HIS OWN FORD

There was a pretty custom among
some of the ancients when a promin-
ent citizen died, to send his valet along
with him on the road to Paradise, and
it was oftentimes necessary to resort
to extreme methods to insure this COM
pany for the departed. But in the ter
ritory of the China American Trading
company, Ford dealers in Tientsin,
China, they have discovered a much
better aid to the deceased over the
rough places on the trip to the Prom
Used Land.
1t is a custom Of the Chinese to burn
various kinds of effigies at the funeral
ceremonies of the RICH, the more veal
thy the departed the more elaborate
the figures burned over his grave.
These effigies represent every manner
of thing, such as human figures,
horses, sedan chairs, tables loaded with
money, etc. The Figures usually con-
form to some of these stereotyped
fashions, but at the funeral of a Mr..
Lii, who died a short time ago in Tien-
tsin, and who was very wealthy man,
the bereaved family outdid themselves
and made an imitation of the deceased
gentleman's Ford car to be burned at
his grave.
This Ford effigy was made entirely
of strong Chinese paper stretched on
bamboo and reed frames. The car was
complete in every detail, the pedals ac-
curately placed. and all made of paper
and bamboo. The interior of the car
was also accurate in detail, being care
fully upholstered in paper. The effigy
of the driver as shown in the photo
graph was work Of art. The car was
carried about three miles through
crowded streets to the graveside,
where a match was applied and 1t was
consumed in a few minutes.
This Is the first time a motor car
has been burned at the grave of a
Chinese, and there is every reason to
believe that the deceased wnt up "On
High"

you know your tire wear is very light

Mr.. Gardner stated that the Oakland
Sensible Six sedan and coupe are par
ticularly sought for today because they
combine the most scientific mechanical
construction with the very latest fea =
lures of body design and appointments.
Handsome lines and fine finish are
combined with economy of operation
and durability, and large production of
these models makes them very moder :
ate in cost and high in value. The
Oakland sedan and coupe have tho
qualities of cars costing many hum
dreds of dollars more.
