Units of 90 European Countries.

At the present time, it is announced,
there are Red Cross units operating in
twenty-three countries in Europe,
working among the devastated areas
and the impoverished people. NAL
nutrition among the children has
created a stupendous task in itself,
and without the aid of the Red Cross
this cannot be successfully accom-

the seriousness of the situation will
result in a prompt response from
those who have so generously and so
humanely contributed to the Red
Cross in the past.

S133,9DO ASKED
TO PROVIDE 132
MORE TEACHERS
Commissioners Request the
Treasury to Give Congress
Deficiency Estimate.

The District Commissioners today
asked the Treasury Department to for
ward to Congress an estimate for a
deficiency appropriation for s133.9oO to
employ 132 more teachers ir the public
schools here. The Commissioners acted
on a recommendation from the board
of education.
This is the first definite step taken
to relieve the present teaching force
from the strain placed upon it in ham
Der ever enrolled in the local public
schools.
Two New Positions Contemplated,
The estimate provides for two new
positions-that of principal at a salary
of $4,000 each for the white and COL
ored junior high schools. Miss Alice
Deal president of the High School
Teachers Union, is now directing the
white junior high school and Miss Lucy
D. Stowe is at the head of the colored
schools. Miss Deal has been serving
as principal at her high school teaching
salary of s1,S60.
School officials expect little difficulty
in convincing Congress of the need for
these additional teachers when it is
pointed out to the legislators that many
classrooms have had to take in more
than forty-five children, recognized as
the largest number one teacher can
teach efficiently
Teachers Asked For.
The number of teachers of each
group asked for in the deficiency esti-
mate follows:
Group A. class six. fifty teachers at
$1,000 each; class five, thirty-one at
$1,000; class four, twenty six at 5000;
class two, twenty at $3.50. and class
one. five at $780, The estimate also
$720 each. These are the basic sal
aries, exclusive of the bonus
More Space Is Next Problem.
II Congress should grant these ap-
preparations, one of the big problems
the authorities have been facing since
the schools opened in September
would be solved
The next important matter the
school board has to meet is to find
more space for classroom purposes to
relieve congestion which now exists
Superintendent of Schools Thurston
left Washington last night on a tour
of Pittsburgh. Detroit, Cincinnati and
Cleveland, to observe what Is being
done in those cities to relieve crowd
ed conditions in the schools. Upon
his return the board of education will
decide what action should be taken
to improve conditions here.
All but a few of the temporary
portable buildings provided for by
Congress are now In use.

Suffering Not Imminent.

From some points cries of alarm
were heard over the low supply OF coal,
and in these cases consignments Of

No actual suffering was believed i'm
minent, but the government was con-
WINGED that the consumption now is far
greater than production. and retrench-
ment is necessary. .

were improving, while leaders of the

murder of John WIZ Corral, an Amer

wife and the attempted murder of his
son at their home near Colonia, II

Six days after the attack on the
Corral family, the paymaster of the
Gulf Refining company, an American

learned, notified the Mexican autho

An elaborate funeral in six or sew
en- courses, with long caravan or eX-
pensive cars, and other fancy trim
mings. could easily cost $500. Prices
on embalming, caskets, graves and
other expensive luxurios have lncreaS-
ed materially in the past two years
Local undertakers state that an IN
crease of at least fifty per cent has
come about in that length of time.
The result is that it costs more to die
than it does to live.
OF course, people in Strengthened
circumstances could conduct a tu.
neral for less than $257, but it would
not b esuch an elaborate affair as
funerals generally are. By careful
economy, a burial may be held tol
perhaps $3.50.

II. c. I. Has Nothing On Cost
Of Dying, Average Here $zS7

Undertakers Supplies Coat More.
Less than five years ago, person
might die for approximately $1OO and
be laid away in decent shape, but
since that time, the price of wood,
and metal has advanced, and along
with it, the price of labor. At that p.
time, too, the horse-drawn vehicle
was considered good enough for
mans last ride, whereas, today, he
swhirled away in big machine
which is considerably more expensive.
No doubt, another thing which
contributes to the increased price
of the high cost of dying, is the fact
that sackets are very scarce. During
the epidemics of influenza which
ravaged this country for over a year,
and swept away so many, caskets
naturally ran low, Scarcity or any
article, whether it be coftins or
crackers, always result sin an IN
crease in price
The price of cemetery plots has
Iaso gone soaring, along with other
real estate, and a good, wide berth
in the cemetery is likely to cost as
much as 5000 or $500.
Minister'S Fee Unchanged.
Only one of the necessities has
failed to rise in price with the other
requirements. One may continue to
nav the minister whatsoever happens
to be left.
One consolation is left, however, to
those who figure on cutting down eX-
penses by dying. AS long as one
continues to live. he Has always be-
fore him the prospect Of having,
some day, t ode also; while, after he
| has once quit this world, he is

! children. and last but not least, the
r high cost of dying,-Knoxville Sen"
