Noise Made Is Most Annoying ans
Can Be Cured by Occasional
Tightening Of Screws.

The handles fastened on the hood

after the car has seen considerable
service especially If they are attached
with screws. The noise they make Is
most annoying, and the only cure is ar
occasional Tightening of the screws.

PLAN TO prevent ACCIDENT
Device Of Florida Man Can Be Applied

Essential Element Is Contact
Spring on Levers.

Burned out brake-bands. broken
crank-shafts, and enormous fuel con-

evils that may result from driving q
car with the emergency brake locked
in position.
After a friend had told him he

Robbins, Florida inventor, set about
to devise means Of preventing just
such occurrences. The idea can be
applied to any "shift gear" type Of

materials.
Contact Spring Essential
The essential element Is q contact
spring applied to each lever, that Is,
the emergency-brake and gear-shift
lever, just far enough above the floor
Of the car to allow easy shifting.
The spring Is strip of tempered

PLAN NEW SOLUTION
OF IRISH PROBLEM

LONDON, June 2s.-Establishment
OF self-government in Ireland within
the British Empire is proposed in a
manifesto issued by the Irish Domin-
ion League" introduced by Horace
Plunkett and other Irishmen.
Tht proposal, it is claimed, Is a
great advance over any previous pro-
posed solution for the Irish question,
except that the British connection is
maintained.
Under this plan Ireland would have
virtually the same amount OF home
rule as though she were an independ-
ent republic.
The manifesto points out the dis
advantages to which Irish products
would be exposed il ireland was a
republic severed from the British
Empire. Mention is made Of possible
hostile tariffs.
Irishmen are urged to unite and let
the British parliament and people
know what they desire. The mani
festo then outlines what the political
status of Ireland would be under the
new scheme.
Would BE League Member.
Ireland, it is declared, would not
be represented at Westminster, but
would be a member OF the. League OF
Nations and of the imperial confer
ence, council or parliament which
may be established. Ireland would
have complete control of her internal
government. The naval and military
defense would remain the same as at
present, but no authority but the
Irish parliament would have power
to impose compulsory service on
Irishmen, although Ireland would
agree to make contributions to the
naval. military, and diplomatic
services.
In referring to Ulster, the mani
festo says that with ireland under the
status Of a dominion. the rights OF
minorities would be constitutionalIy
recognized in many ways. The W.
sterites are asked to state what
special safeguards they demand, the
manifesto adding:
But IL our appeal meets with no
response, the Irish Dominion League
would be prepared 90 snow that the
Ulster difficulty can be met in the
Irish constitution as analogous diff
culties have been met elsewhere In
the empire"
In addition to Sir Horace Plunkett,
the signers OF the manifesto include
Unionist candidates, members Of the
old Irish party. leading members OF
the Irish convention Of 1917. forty-fiVs

most deplorable. It is still legally
possible for a teacher to receive the
disgraceful salary Of $40 per month
and that only for six months-an an
nual salary Of $240. or IS cents a day
"In one State the average monthly
salary paid colored female teachers
in the elementary schools during 1915
was only $26.12, or a total Of $156.72
for a year OF six months. This repre-
sents an average wage for these
teachers, many of whom are gradu-
ates Of colored normal schools, OF
les than one-half of what they could
earn without training, doing washing
or general homework in many Of the
large cities.
Raises Under Pressure.
I'm a great many cases increases
were granted under pressure, and
not as a result of an intelligent ap-
probation OF the important issues in
volved. This fact is obvious when
it is noted that salaries were in.
creased in many instances only SiS or
$50 for the year-increases of 3 per
cont to 5 per cent-when the cost Of
living has increased nearly 100 per
cent.
"Of 191 cities reporting definite in
creases for elementary teachers dur
ing 1888. IS per cent OF them gave
increases of $50 or less. How made
quate is an adjustment OF $50, when
during the year the cost OF a teachers
room has probably increased more
than that amount, to say nothing OF
board, clothes. and other expenses
Salaries Compared.
"a comparison with the teachers
average salary of $3.50 shows that
bod carriers earn from one and one
half to twice as much: the head
bakers, carpenters, GLACIERS, and
printing machine tenders earn twice
as much; wiremen. fathers. black
smiths, and machinists earn about
two and one-half times as much A.;
bricklayers, plumbers, and structural
iron workers earn about three times
as much. These comparisons are all
with kinds Of work requiring much
less preparation than teaching, which,
1t is conceded, should require at least
six years OF study and professional
preparation beyond the eighth grade.
at is a public disgrace that in this,
the richest country or the world, men
and women who arc deYotinR their
lives to the promotion Of public well
fare should have to beg for a living
wage or be forced to leave their pro-
fession. In the end, however, the re-
suits are far more disastrous to the
public than the teacher"

z TRAFFIC DEATHS
DUE TO ACCIDENT

Two verdicts OF accidental death
were returned yesterday by a coro-
ner's jury investigating the deaths OF
Bernhard Guntow, of Fort Myer
Heights, Va, and Edna Clark, colored,
five years old, both of whom were
killed in traffic accidents.
Guntow was riding a motorcycle
on NJ street near Twenty eighth

chine crashed into an automobile
truck operated by Walter Niche. He
died short time later at Emergency

LONDON. June 2S.-The Kaiser

Germany, the crown prince said He
seemed to enjoy the excitement
caused by his temporary absence

THE Kaiser will never submit to
trial. He will die FIRST" declared
Frederick Wilhelm.
Il am going to Germany myEsle as
soon as peace is formally declared
I will go to Silesia."
The former crown prince refused 10
discuss the war. He declared, how
ever that East Prussians and Silesians
will never accept Polish rule. Great
trouble is ahead for the League OF
Nations, he thought.

SENATEVOTES
$25O,OOOFOR
EXTENSION Of
PARK SYSTEM

Accusations by Senator Nelson OF
Minnesota that people here "are al
ways trying to work the Govern
ment" to promote projects for Wash
tngtOn, did not deter the Senate in its
determination to restore to the sun
dry civil bill a House appropriation
Of $250,000 to extend the park sys-
tenn Of the National Capital by join
ing Rock Greek and Potomac Park.
Senator Lodge and Senator Shep-
Pard rallied to the defense of the
parkway project when it appeared
that Mr.. Nelson's apepal to the Sen
ate not to permit Washington realty
dealers to put one over" on Con-
gress would have disastrous eff
feet.
Debate Lasts An Hour.
Debate centered on the PROJECT for
more than an hour, during which the
United States Housing Corporation
came in for q severe drubbing at the
hands OF Senator Nelson, who con-
demned the Plaza Hotel project as
having cost the Government millions
Of dollars.
Senator Lodge strongly urged the
acquisition Of land to link together
the two parkway systems, declaring
Ii would be the greatest beneft to
the city and to the people OF the city
that has ever been proposed" Senator
Sheppard, who is a member of the
District Committee, protested that
while Congress forever breaches about
making Washington the most beauti-
full city in the world, whenever some
hefnite plan for its Identification
comes up there are always Senators
who claim the District is trying to
defraud the Government.
Fifty-fve per cent Of the land in the
District already consists OF parks,
Senator Gronna Of North Dakota re-
minded the Senate.
Should BE More, Says Sheppard.
II think that is a most praiseworthy
feature of the Capital City" replied
Senator Sheppard. That percentage
Of land here and perhaps more should
consist Of parks and Fairgrounds for
the American people"
Senator Lodge said he was entirely
familiar with all the objections raised
against the proposed parkway and
heartily approved Of the plan. at will
rescue the lower part Of Rock Creek
from the condition it is now in" said
Senator Lodge. The completion OF
this park will make access possible
Ind will be a great improvement to
that part Of Georgetown and Wash
lngton.
A long list Of warnings" was put
into the Record by Senator Nelson in
his fight against the project, drawing
attention to instances in the past
when Congress had been baited by
District people.
I'VE hear much about identifying
washington" said Senator Nelson,
and much about making 1t a model
city. But the people Of Washington,
who are so anxious to have this city
beautifed and enlarged, are also al
ways looking to immunity from taxa
ton They are anxious to work the
Government to the limit"
The Senate adopted a number of
JtheF amendments to the sundry civil
SIN affecting District needs.
An amendment appropriatlng S1o,-
BOO additional for the extension Of the
bathhouse at the Tidal Basin bath
ing beach. making a total Of $40, 900,
was approved without discussion.
Another amendment added $25, 900

enes, making q total Of $4,000.

That salaries OF teachers In many
States are being increased in the in

ton, as the cost OF living increases,

ISOLATION of Washington today
Economic laws apply to teachers
the same as to others" says Hugh s.
Megill, field secretary of the associa-
ton, in issuing the report Low sala-

We are particular about the physi-
clans and dentists who treat our chill
dren, but seem somewhat careless
about their teachers. Is the mind Of
the child less important than his
body?"
Twelve States Raise Pay.
'"Every State has become actively
interested in the problem of teachers
salaries, and twelve have reported the
passage OF laws materially increasing
salaries" states the report. virginia

teachers salaries by $500, 900, and
State Superintendent Harris Hart ex-
presses the hope that the next legis-
lature will make a further increase of
at least % per cent.
illinois has made SIS the minimum
monthly salary of any public school
teacher, has increased her annual

Noteworthy progress has been
made in many cities, and what has
been accomplished is gratifying, but
the problem is not solved. Increases
of from 10 per cent to 20 per cent, or
even much more, are not sufficient to
meet the very much greater increases

Why Not Safety
First Week for
The Automobile

The railroads recently had safety
first period, during which period it
was the aim of every employees to re-
duee to minimum, accidents.
The results were indeed wonderful,
and It shows what can be accom-
plished when all hands bend their eff
forts and focus their aims in any one
direction.
Travel on railroads has been made
so safe that in bidding a friend or
relative goodbye, one rarely gives a
thought to their safety, simply be-
cause every known precaution is taken
by the American common carriers.
hat is one Of the reasons why rail-
road travel is so tremendous, and IL
shows that it pays manifold to guard
travel, both from the viewpoint of in
crease in business, and reduction OF
loss through accidents.
Some day, the autoist will come to
the same conclusion. Brakes will be
regularly inspected, and people will
come to realize their responsibilities Il
one another, and, in so doing, the re-
suit will be as with the railroads, in
creased motoring, which will increase
the automobile industry and add tc
the attraction.
