son for the quiet way in which the
market acted was wire trouble IN many
directions which prevented the interior
from trading.

caused moderate recessions from the
early high levels, but gradually all Of
terings were absorbed and late in the
morning the trading months were SO

Reports of a better demand in the
spot department increased the inquiry
for contracts. At / o'clock prices were
81 to 65 points up. with December at
the new high record level of SO. 93c.

NEGRO TEACHERS
SEEK INCREASES

A petition for increased pay, pre-.
scented by the negro teachers in the
Memphis public school system, was
given to the board of education at It's
regular meeting Monday night. The
petition was referred to the finance
committee without being read. This
action is In line with the request made
some time ago by the members of the
Memphis Teachers association, com
prising a majority OF the white teachers
in asking for Increased pay. This lat
ter could not be met by the board be-
cause OF a lack OF funds.
Only routine business was transacted
by the board Monday night, the report
OF the superintendent for the month Of
october, election OF a number Of teach
ers TO I'll vacancies. and a plea by c.
G, Pashby, city clerk, for n refund Of
approximately $4,000 now in the hands
of the school board received as a pre-
MUM on the last Issue OF school bonds.
Prof. Wharton s. Jones, superintend-
ent Of schools, reported increased school
enrolment In all Of the public schools,
ana particularly In Central high school,
the number being several hundred over
the same month OF last year. His visits
to the various schools, the report stated,
showed them TO be in flourishing con-
dition and the work study play plan
now being tested out at the Rozell
school Is fairly successful although the
work Is somewhat hampered by the lack
OF a manual training teacher. lie sub
mitted the applications of three men
for this position and the matter was
referred to the teachers and textbook
committee.
Mr.. pashby was advised to consult
with Marion G. Evans as to an opinion
as to whether or not the board of edu-
cation would turn over to the city about
$4,000 paid the school board as a pre-
MUM or the recent school bond issue.
Mr.. Pashby contended that this amount
should ~rightfully go to the city as 1t
represented the difference between the
actual interest the city would be COM
PEELED to pay and the 4.S per cent, the
market value OF the bonds.

Where She Had Been Taken

Alice +. Marcy, four years old, the

an automobile in front of her home

to cross the road to join her father.
Her injuries have proved to be much

ed, and the little girl, after treatment
for scalp wound at the Day kimbal
hospital, was able to return to her
home.
According to witnesses the child
started from the door yard where she
had been playing. to meet her father
on the opposite side of the road,
When she was half way across the
street large truck bound for Put
nam came along, and she turned back,
calling out to her mother, "Oh, man.
ma, see the big truck She then
again started across, and as she did
so a touring car driven by Henry
Frankel of New York swung past the
truck, hitting the little girl who had
not seen it coming. The driver in
trying to avoid the child swerved so
as to overthrow his car. He escaped
uniniured. DR.. Edward Perry of
Putnam was called, and the child TAX
en- to the hospital.
According to Mrs. Marcy, who saw
the accident, no blame can be attach
ed to Mr. Frankel. The mother char
acterized the accident as zone of
those things that simply couldn't be
avoided"
