Lang. the British airman who estab-
lished n new world altitude record
Yesterday. today said his chief sem

That he had a right to be cold can
be Judged from the fact that OF
$500 feet-the record-the mercury
stood at IS degrees below zero, Fab
renheit. He and his observer. Lieut.
Blowers were in the hospital here
today suffering from frost bite.
Il removed my goggles when I was
six miles UP because a thick coating
OF frost had rendered them useless"
said Lang. My left eye was frozen
shut Immediately. II was 20 degrees
below freezing up there at that aIti-
tude
For the first 5000 feet the machine
was tossed and buffeted about by
twenty -fve-mile wind. but after that
the going was smooth. The sun was
bright and we could make out ships
plainly. several miles out to sea.
AT 5000 feet our oxygen ran
short. Blowers went under and was
unconscious until We landed. but l
was lucky enough to stick it out.
1t was mighty cold up there Our
clothing and the plane were white
with frost. We were dressed warmly

bone I wouldn't want to try to es-
tablish an altitude record every day"

BAKERS ESTATE
Goes TO WIDOW
Codicil to viii Requests
That Maryland Farm Be
Kept Intact.

The will of Daniel w. Baker. for
mer district attorney, who died
New Years night at his apartment
at the Netherlands, was on file for
probate yesterday.
A will. GATED January 3. 1916,
which makes a bequest OF $500 to
Frank and RebecCa Duffin and stip-
ulates that a sum sufficient to pay
OF the mortgage on their place be
paid to John II. Hoes and his wife,
is amended by a cOdicil, dated Oc-
tober II. 1918, in which Mr.. Baker
leaves all his estate to his wife
during her lifetime, and requests
that il possible the farm at Ger
mantown. Nd, be kept intact.
The original will provided that
any income in excess of S125 to be
paid to Mrs. Baker. should, up to
the sum Of $40. be turned over to
Mr.. Bakers sisters. II the prop
erty yielded more than S165. the eX-
cess should go to Mrs. Baker. In
this will the lawyer failed to state
the period Of time which the speci-
fed income was expected to cover.
In the codicil Mr.. Baker states that
instead Of leaving half OF his estate
TO his wife. as provided in his will. he
leaves everything to her. This indi-
Gates that Mr.. Baker had not attend
ed closely to the terms Of his will OF
January 5. 1916. which makes no pro-
vision for an equal division OF the
estate. 1t was suggested that in draw
ing up the cOdiCil Mr.. Baker had in
mind the terms of some earlier will
ignoring entirely the provisions of his
later testament.
Upon the death Of his wife Mr.. Ba~
ker provides that If there is no issue
OF himself. his brother. Andrew n.
Baker. or his sisters, the estate shall
be divided into two equal parts. one
TO go to the president and directors
Of Georgetown University for the
benefit OF the law school and the
other to the president and council OF
Mount St. Marys College at En-
metts burg. Md. to be used for the
Andrew Hull Baker scholarships" for
students in Montgomery County, Md.
In case Mr.. Bakers brother or sis
ters or their issue are alive upon Mrs.
Bakers death they are named the
heirs of the estate.
Andrew II. Baker. his brother. and
Henrietta L Baker. his wife, werv
named executors.

the fact that the heating value OF
wood is in proportion, not to volume
but to solid content. IN other words,
whatever two sticks Of wood respec-
lively measure, if they weigh the
same they will give practically the
same amount Of heat. In buying
wool by measure one pays for the
air between the sticks'when they are
piled, for the air that may be sealed
up in the sap vessels, and for the air
in whatever cracks and crevices may
happen to be in the separate sticks.
The change may seem radical, but
buying fuel has become a practical
question of value for money, and the
time may very quickly come when it
will sound old-fashioned to speak of a
cord of wood.

Queer Postage Stamps
From Livopia

Postage stamps have appeared with
the paper they are printed on consist
ing of German military maps! These
queer adhesives are only few of
many strange stamps which are ema-
mating from the land which once en-
braced the Empire of Russia.
The map-back lapels come from
Livonia. There, paper was scarce.
For the postal authorities, the white
paper generally used must have been
unobtainable, because when the first
stamp issue of "Latvija," the native
name for Livonia, was printed, the 5
kopecs. value, and perhaps other demo
limitations, came forth with the re-
verse side of each sheet being what
had been Typographical map of a
section of Russia. The scarcity of
white paper is further emphasized
when it was stated that lined printing
paper also was used the 10 and Is k.
values thus appearing with thin blue
lines running through each sheet of
stamps. Hugh NJ. Clark has shown
the editor sheets of these adhesives.-

COUNTRY AROUSED
OVER TEACHERS
SALARIES
Experts Make Some Interest
ing Comparisons

From every part of the country
come reports indicating that the ma
ton is at last becoming aroused to
urged necessity for better salaries for
teachers. Teacher shortage is ap-
parently becoming worse instead Of
better in many sections, and some of
the States, where it has been impos-
s.ble to get any teachers at all are
lightning to realize the need for i'm
mediate relief.
Some States have already taken
more or less radical action. The 1ndi-
ana Legislature has passed an act to
make large increases in salaries over
the State. Maryland counties that
have made increases find that the
slight increases they feel able to make
are not sufficient to hold any great
body of teachers, with prices for other
forms of service remaining as they
are. The New York Legislature has
been considering a number of meas
ures intended to bring relief to the
teachers, but as yet without result. In
Pennsylvania, where public sentiment
has been aroused to an unusual pitch
at the plight of the teachers, the legis-
lators and administrative officials have
been studying methods of raising
taxes to make possible the 25 per cent
increase which is considered the least
that will be Of any use.
One of the striking developments in
recent months has been the sudden
awakening on the part of the public
as to the actual pay received by teach
ers. An average salary Of about 5000
over the United States-which means
a huge number of positions paying
$500 and S400 year and even less
has impressed business men and labor
leaders alike as a ridiculous amount
to pay for the fundamental work of
teaching. Business men in parent
teacher associations, and also in their
own organizations, have been actively
promoting better salaries; and the la
Dor organizations, always interested
in education, have been of powerful
assistance in moSling public sentiment
in their communities.
The press throughout the country,
almost without exception, is enthus-
iastically behind the movement for
immediate raise in salaries. Else
where in this issue editorial opinions
are cited. The editor of the Whining
ton Journal in leading editorial ad-

What Will Take The Place
Of The Bar-Room ?

What will takestse place of the bar
room when the country goes dry?
Varied opinions are expressed in an
swer to this mooted question. Upon
enc. point all agree-a substitute can
be found for the saloon.
Civic and church leaders, interested
in community welfare, are focusing
attention upon the problem, through
measures which seek to set up in place
Of liquor resorts some sort of social
institution, with aids for wholesome
stimulation, but lacking the features
that many have considered as ruinous.
Baltimore will be one of the largest
"dry" cities in the United States af-
ter July /, and leaders here already
have attempted a casual survey to find
q saloon substitute that will provide
social incentives for men.
As a result Of the survey being
made here, it is not improbable that
millions Of dollars, being raised in the
Centenary campaign Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, may be used here
and elsewhere for community or soc.
ial centers. Such places, it is sug-
gested, would be fitted up with loung-
ing rooms, bowling alleys, gymnas-
iums, libraries and other features to
contribute democratic atmosphere.
In the dry era that is approaching
civic leaders declare that the "blind
pig" will not loom up as a menace,
with a train of other evils, if neigh
borhood clubs for men are provided
where men may gather and fraternize.
The Centenary program for commun-
ity centers eventually may be extend
ed to provide just such an institution.
