N0U[D INCREASE
TEACHERS PAY
Average Salary Of Workers
In City Schools Is $3.50
Per Month.

The danger Of lowering the teach
ing personnel Of the city schools was
brought out in a meeting Of the
executive committee Of tho FL Paso
Teachers association. held Wednesday,
afternoon at the Y W. C. a central
building. when IL was stated that the
average salary Of the teachers Of FL
Paso is only $3.50 per month Il was
also stated that there are only II
grade teachers in the city OF FL Paso
drawing a salary Of as much az $1,000
per year.
In the discussion relative 10 the
Emallness Of salaries OF local teachers,
n - pointed out that any person
Of ability cannot do to return for
tfe amount allowed and that parents
would not be willing 10 have their
children under a $3.50 mentality. A
suggestion was made that, Is parents
of the city do not realize this condi-
through the different local women 8
organization in favor Of salaries in
proportion to ability.
1t was also brought out that there
has been agitation for the establish
ment Of an insurance fund for the
benefit Of sick teachers who cannot
possibly meet added expenses re-
sulting from illness on salary OF
$3.50. But the general feeling among.
the teachers was shown 20 be that
The salary should be sufficient 70
make 1t unnecessary for the estab-
lishmenr Of such a benefit fund.
As FL Pas0 IS practically the only
city in the state that has not in
creased its teachers salaries. a COM
mittee was appointed 70 investigate
the scale Of advance in the salaries
Of other Texas cities
Present at the meeting was a repre-
sentative from each OF the schools Of

Proverbs (; l-S
My son, if thou wilt receive my

So that thou incline thine ear unto

Then shalt thou understand the

BO0KMARKS OF EVERY KIND
Strip Of Bacon About the Most Unqu,
That pes Moines Librarian Has
Yet Found.

The most startling marker that For
est b. Spaulding, public librarian OF
Des Moines, Iowa, has come across il
the books that have circulated from
the library was strip Of underdont
bacon. The most ordinary bookmarh
found in the books Is the common va,
riety of wire hairpin. Halrplns might
be collected by the hundreds. Mr.
Spaulding says, but owing to thai
very fact they are considered as fair
ly worthless from the collectors stand
point.
The vacation season Is announced
annually by the presence of snapshots
in the returned books. These are boil
personal or otherwise in character
Postcards and letters, too, come Id
often. Frequently letters addressed
and stamped are found just as they
were left by the book borrower wht
doubtless was proceeding postoffice
ward BY way of the library. These are
mailed from the library.
Mr.. Spaulding has noticed any mum
Der of pretty girls sitting on the beach
at Riverview Park with books. and h,
has been looking forward all summer
to recovering a bathing suit absent
mindedly left by one of the youni
ladies in her book.

THE LATE DR.. HALEY.

DR. d. M. Haley, the grand
old man" of McAlester, has gone
to his reward and in his passing
Oklahoma has lost one of her
most useful citizens. 4 pioneer
in old Indian Territory, DR.
Haley achieved marked success
in a business way and such was
his life that he won the highest
esteem of his fellow-citizens at
home and throughout the state.
One of the remarkable charac-
teristics Of DR.. HALEY was that,
despite the record of the calendar,
which showed him to be advanced
in years, he never grew old. His
silver hair and beard might give
the impression that age had laid
its hand upon him but up to the
last he had the buoyancy o boy
hood in his heart and his interest
in life never Jagged. Whether in
fraternal circles or among his old
comrades of the u. c. ", with
whom it was his highest delight
to mingle, he was always the
"life of the party"
Dir Haley amassed great wealth
ana used it in a way to benefit
his fellow-men. His large heart
gave him a lively interest in all
things human and hence, with
advancing years, his sympa5hies
widened; unlike the self-cen-
tered, selfish man, with the pass
ing years, he continued to grow
and the infirmities Of age were
powerless to stay the mellowing
influences of kindly thoughts and
generous deeds. Probably no
man in the state had or deserved
more friends than DR.. HALEY.

MUST MEET FORCE WITH
FORCE.

When the IIohenzollern auto
crat defied America and set out
to run rough-shod over our rights,
we didn It hesitate to hand him
what was due him. We promptly
recognized him as a ruthless en-
emv who was attacking our gov
ernment and institutions and we
proceeded to act accordingly IN
self-protection. TO have done
less would have been to submit
to the destruction Of our rights
and all that America represents.
When radical agitators, call
them Reds, Bolshevists an
archists or what not, throw down
the gauntlet and seek by foment-
ING insurrection against our laws
and form of government to ac-
complish the same thing which
the Hohenzollern would have
achieved had he succeeded, self
preservation and the welfare OF
our democratic institutions de
mand that we pursue the same
course, meeting force with force.
There is no safety for America
and no assurance that the horrors
of Red Russia will not be dupll-
Gated in this country, if we take
any other stand.
Any man who attempts to sub
stitute force for the orderly pro-
cesses of law and the decisions |
Of the ballot box in this country, /
must be set down at once as the
enemy Of America; if he chooses
to show the ENABLED fist, " he
must be met with the same sort
Of instrument. TO trifle with
treason is to court disaster. To
permit outspoken advocates Of
arson and anarchy to ply |
heir trade unmolested, by word
md deed seeking the overthrow
If our government, is to prove
ourselves unworthy Of the rights
which our boys fought to main
ain across the seas and which are
,ur highest blessings as American
citizens.

GOLD IN GRIP or NEPTUNE
Hope Renewed That Millions Lost II
Treasure Ships May Be Brought
to the Surface.

Somewhere in the sea off the coasi
of Zululand lies the ship DOrothea
which went down on Tenedos reef
carrying with her, so some people be
lieve, part Of the fortune of Dom Pau
Kruger, once president Of the Trans
Vaal, and rumor has 1t that plans are
afoot to fit out British expedition
In the hope of salvaglng her. The
war has improved methods of salvag
ing sunken ships. and, If the Dorothes
really carried it, the gold cementet
into the hold of the vessel has been
estimated at over 100000. Before
the war a syndicate was organized t.
attempt recovery of the vessel, ans
unsuccessful efforts were made to 10
cate her; now the project is again pos
sible-perhaps all the more so, becaus1
time has accumulated so many treas
ure ships which are again under dis
cuSsion. A list recently published in
cludes: The Grosvenor lost on tn,
Pendoand coast, with $S,750,000; the
Arston, in Marcus bay, with $4,000.

reef, with $3,9OO,O0o; the Dorothea, on
Tenedos reef with $3,250,O00; th,
Abercrombie, with 100000; the Mere
