WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l-That the
United States will have a shortage Of
school teachers this fall greater than
the $4,000 deficit found last October
was predicted here to-day by educa-
tors. Mss Alice Deal, president OF
the Washington High School Teachers
Union, said authoritative information
had come to her that most of the men
and women who left the profession be-
cause of the war are not going back
to it. The smallness OF the average
salary paid teachers is given as the
reason Of the shortage.
President Wilson issued a special
appeal last October to ministers, mar
all kinds to go to the teachers vacant
posts. as half million school children
would be untaught unless some such
migration took place. lie set aside
$4,000 of his war emergency funds TO
pay for the cost OF getting these teach
erless schools in touch with persons
who would take the jobs 1t was de-
clared that 10000 men and women
had been taken from the teaching pro-
Tession by the war st the time the
APPEAL was made the Bureau Of Edu-
cation declared that $4,000 teachers
vacancies existed.
Statistics supplied 70 Miss Deal de-
clare that the labor turnover annually
for teachers is 5000 under normal
conditions. there being 1000 public
school teachers in this country. The
commercial teachers agencies claim to

Owing to lack of funds the school
board service established during the
war emergency to find teachers for
the vacancies has been closed down
by Commissioner Of Education Claxton.
The files and registration of $4,000
teachers now lie idle in the Offices of
the Federal Bureau of Education. as
the superintendent and other execu-
tives of schools throughout tho coun
try cannot get at this information. says
Miss Deal. That schools. in West Nir-
gnia and other states have been closed
for the last two years and viii be
closed this year, because Of lack Of
teachers, was further information given
Miss Deal.
AS one of the executives of the
newly unionized Teachers Association
Miss Deal hopes to have the American
Federation of Labor foster q plan TO

missioner Claxton tried TO get money
enough to continue the school service
board in the sundry civil bill. but the
appropriation was thrown out in the
House of Representatives On point Of
order by Representative Blanton, OF
Texas. Organized teachers feel that
the government can perform a neces-
sary service TO the children of the
country in providing schools with data
about the teachers who can be had.

Heaped on Them Abroad

The French liners Niagara, from
Bordeaux, and La Touraine, from
Havre, arrived yesterday. The Niagara
carried lab passengers, among whom
were twenty colored Y. NJ. C. A. work
ers and twentyfour American tele-
phone girls who had been stationed
abroad with various branches of the
army.
Because of the low price of the
french franc Lieutenant Demetri Di-
monetua, Rumanian courier on his
way to Washington, arrived as a third
class passenger. When the lieutenant
arrived at Bordeaux to board the Nj
aagara and changed his francs into
Anne rican dollars he did not have
enough left to arrange for first class
passage. He has five military decora-
tlons, including the British War Cross
On La Touraine, which carried 3ss
passengers, were nine women, the
only ones who served in France with
the knights of Columbus. Two of these
the Misses Simmone and Clairette

Motors and Motorists

The French Grand Prix automobile
race is to be revived in 1920 and will
be contested in either Alsace or Lor-
raine, the reacquired territory having
miles of good roads, over which the
classic" event of European motor rae
ing may be held. 1t is a certainty
that entries from Germany and Austria
will not be accepted. One OF the latest
renewals of the event was one-two-
three triumph for the Mercedes, but
that can't happen again for some years
1t will take a good many seasons be-
fore German entries in sporting events
will be welcomed by the French or
other of the Allied nations.
1t is likely that the race will be
limited to cars in the 1873 cubic inch
class, as it is reported is also the in
tention for the next 500-mile event at
Indianapolis. This will be a step tow
ard the development of very efficient
small engines and a good thing for
automobile practice. Years ago cars Of
more than 900 and 1000 cubic inches
piston displacement were not making
the speeds that have been attained to-
day by cars in the 800 cubic inch class.
Mere bulk of engine was at one time
thought to be the only thing, but now
racing cars with engines no larged than
reach terrific speed.
Whether there will be American en-
tries in the French race is hard to say
right now. There are so few com
panies in this country making bust
ness of racing and maintaining teams.
Perhaps some of the American drivers
will get chance to drive on the other
side, and also without doubt there viii
be British and perhaps Spanish entries
in the Grand Prix.
A meeting of the joint committee of
the National Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce, the Society of Automotiv'
Engineers and the American Petroleum
Institute, was held last night at the
University Club. The committee or
ganized and considered plans to insure
steady supply of gasolene to meet the
increasing needs of the automotive in
ldustry. c. E. 7. S.

Cire a Thought to
BLeecker Street

MYTH steel rails commanding high
w prices. business men on Blocker
Street would like to know why the OBJ
soiete tracks on that thoroughfare are
not removed and utilized. The car line
stopped running on the street several
years ago, but the tracks have been
permitted to remain.
This" says Joseph G. Inversion. a
lawyer, OF 505 Fifth Avenue, "has led
to an inconvenient situation. The
street is used by many heavy trucks
and the, tracks stand at higher level
than the surrounding cobbles
Large truck wheels, caught on the
track. frequently skid for a considera- =
Bile distance. Accidents are avoided bv
narrow margins and many pedestrians
trip over the tracks" -
Some ruts along the car tracks are
six inches deep. Water gets in these,
and the passerby on the sidewalk otter,
gets reminder when a heavy machine
goes splashing along. Adding to the
difficulties Of the drivers is large exca.
walton which has just been made at
the corner Of Broadway and Bleecker
Street. The Rocky Road to Dublin
says one truckman, has nothing on the
bumpy road to West Broadway.
