Concerning Prices
What Is Tenure of Office for
Teachers?

Teachers believe that as pub
lie employees giving efficient
service they should be- protected
from politics, machine methods
and arbitrary and autocratic
manipulation and attacks. A
tenure is a condition as we'll
as a period of employment, II
means that since the teacher is
conscicntiouSly serving the pub
lie and does not herself share
in the immediate returns from
her efforts as in factory or Of
flee work that she is entitled to
the same protection and sccur-
ily in position that other public
employees have namely civil
service. Then assuming that
charges of incompetence or in
efficiency are directed against
a teacher, she should have the
full rights of being tried ON
these charges not before IA
group that are at once her ac-
cuscrs, judges and jury, but by
an impartial, disintcrested
group who are qualified to
weigh the public good and the
teachers side and to render
decisions in truly American
way based on full justice. De
prive a teacher of her right Ia
appeal to an impartial jury and
the only tenure that remains is
based on the degree of conf
dence that she may have in a
school board. AT times these
boards are excellent men actu-
atcd by high ideals. Yet within
a few years we have seen clever
school politicians lending theil
efforts To gaining control and
building up machines by pro
cess of wilful "hirc and fire" OF
teachers. Contributed.

Kick In Mince Pies Now Barred.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The use Of liquor for culinary purposes
has been placed under the ban by Federal
Prohibition Commissioner John F. Kramer.
The information was contained in letter
from Mr. Kramer to Richard S. Dodson.
enforcement agent for Maryland. in which
he forbade the issuance of permits to use
liquor for any cooking purposes whatever
The word came as bombshell to local
hotels. which applied for permits under
the impression that culinary use Of liquors
is one Of the few loopholes in the Volstead
act. They were strengthened in the belief
by report that Maryland whisky had
been removed from bond for cooking by
New York hotels. According to the phrase
ology of the Commissioners letter. how
ever. it would appear that their fond hope
was AL wrong" The letter follows:
II am writing to you in reference to the
matter Of granting permits to use intoxi-
eating liquors for culinary purposes. Com
missioner Roper. after considering this
matter very carefully. has decided that
under the law there Is no authority for
issuing permits for culinary purposes. In
the further progress of our work. therefore.
you may govern yourself accordingly.
mo further applications for Withdrawals
should be approved under permits out
standing"
Mr.. Dodson declared the only possible
Interpretation Of the letter is that it con-
stitutes deathknell to all hopes of mince
pies and other pastries with kick" The
letter came in no way as a surprise to him.
because that is how he has interpreted the
law from the beginning.
None Of the local hotels had actually
received permission to use liquor in their
cooking. Several filled out applications
months ago. but these are still on the Com
missioner's file at Washington. The local
hotel men are under the impression that
their New York brothers put something
over" on the prohibition officials If they
actually transported and used liquor for
culinary purposes, as reported.
Mr.. Dodson explained that the commu-
nicatiOn was the result Of letter he ad-
dressed several weeks ago to Commissioners
Kramer in which he asked that the law
be cleared up on the point. He has learned
that the decision was made after the Com
missioner went over the question carefully
with the legal department Of the prohibit
ton forces.
1T looks like they are closing up the
loopholes one by one" Mr.. Dodson ad
mitted In reply to a question.

Hog Cholera Work.

To the Officers Of the Hog Growers Asso-
Citations
Referring to the hog-cholera work in
the State Of Maryland. we believe you
will be interested in the following summary
of the reported outbreaks Of the disease
for the year 1918.
Reports to this office (the Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry. College Park. Md show that
the disease existed on $40 farms during
the year. OF these. 274 were primary in
fections or new outbreaks, and S36 were
secondary infections or outbreaks which
had spread from nearby premises.
AS the control of the disease has been
the aim of the work, it is worthy Of note
that, of the $3.50 secondary outbreaks. the
disease had appeared on 900 of the farms
before the cooperating authorities were in
formed of the original outbreak. There
fore, in the 274 original outbreaks, the
disease only spread to 76 farms after the
authorities had been notified.
OF the original outbreaks, the source Of
infection was traced in 1923 instances. The
data thus obtained shows that 81 per
cent. of the new outbreaks was caused
by garbage feeding. and IS per cent. by
the introduction of new stock.
The lessons from the years work have
taught us that there are two principal
sources of new outbreaks within the State,
and two main reasons for the spread of
the infection once an outbreak is started
in neighborhood.
The principal sources of infection are.
as noted above, garbage feeding and in
PRODUCTION of new stock.
The two reasons for the spread Of the
infection are, first, failure to notify the
authorities of the outbreak; second. failure
on the part of owners promptly and prop
erIy to dispose Of the carcasses Of the hogs
that die.
In regard to the above. we respectively
request that you promptly notify your
County Agent F. J. Van Hosen. Rockville,
or Bureau representative in your district.
DR.. |. X. Anterior. College Park. Of any
illness among swine or failure on the part
of owners promptly and properly to dis
pose of carcasses. While neither of these
gentlemen are expected to treat sick ami
mails. they will give advice and aid in
stopping the spread Of the outbreak.

Fifty-Seyen Thousand Autos
Licensed.

With total OF $1.256.28 collected for
automobile licenses during the first quar-
ter of 1920. all records for the same period
in past years were broken. it is announced
by Automobile Commissioner E. Austin
Baughman. The amount is an increase
of $205,247 over the 1919. which figures
were $1.051,0l3.
The Commissioners office force was in
the throes Of one Of the greatest rushes Of
its existence. and there had not been time
for complete compilation Of figures for
the quarter ended Wednesday night Of
last week, but ii was believed that in
round figures the total collected represented
about 81 900 machines. as against 46 900
in 1919. This would indicate that. roughly
speaking. six Marylanders are riding in
automobiles this year where five rode in
1919.
The most phenomenal figures were
reached in January. when a total OF ST.
1885, was collected, as against $780,
684 in January. 1919. This amount Is
greater than that for the entire first quar-
ter Of 1919. The effect of the bad weather
throughout February and March was re-
hected in the totals for those months,
which fell to $74,241 and $66.2l3, re-
spectively. The totals for the correspond
ing months Of last year were sos. 1922
and $7l,007.
Colonel Bauehman has predicted that
1920 will be the biggest year his Office
has ever known. Recently he estimated
that during April the 1919 collections Of
S232.000 would jump to the 100000
mark. Many signs, one Of them the big
rush at the offices, indicate that even that
figure will be surpassed.
Commissioner Baughman has requested
motorists to apply for their licenses by
mail, in an effort to relieve the congestion
at his Office. and he is receiving consider.
able response. Wednesday he was forced
to borrow from the State Roads Commits.

port license tags to the postofiice. A total

A Plea For woman's Protection.

Mr.. EDIToR;-As former resident and
being born and bred in Rockville. have
been somewhat stirred by the conditions
in the county which have been brought to
light by the occasion of the trial Of the
man Forrest Eaglin for an assault upon
Miss Saunders, of Washington city. Gov
eminent war worker. on the road from
Chevy Chase to Somerset on July S, 1919.
Perhaps may be mistaken as to the
seriousness of the situation, but It has
4 been brought to my attention by many
different people, who have warned me to
be careful about going about alone, spe-
cially in the evening. To these warnings ]
have but one reply: Why shouldn't wom-
an be as safe on the roads and lanes Of
Montgomery county as in the streets of
New York or Washington city, And really
such is my conviction. have no fear
myself. but for the sake of those who feel
timidity would ask another question Why
should not we who have made the world
safe for democracy by riskins the lives of
American boys in foreign lands make our
own country safe for our women. that they
may walk in any part of any county in the
United States without fear of molestation
Would it cost any more to properly police
the by-ways and country roads than it
does to hold expensive court sessions to
bring to trial the violators Of the peace of
the peopleH
have been told that policeman, at a
salary of 5000. has been employed to
patrol the section where the above assault
and robbery took place. Would it not cost
less to employ several policemen to patrol
other highways and byways at more
adequate salary than to spend the large
sums of money that have been paid by
taxpayers to bring to justice criminals who
have had opportunity to pursue their evil
ways, practically without fear Of molesta-
ton by police officers.
Shall we not have our county properly
patrolled, and then If every woman pro-
vides herself with police whistle. shall
she not be as safe as If she were walking
well-liehted and crowded city streets Is
she not entitled to this protection'
1t would be at least interesting to have
an answer to the above questions.
Yours for safety of women throughout
the country,

permanent county committee. but this
conference is great mass-meeting of all
church members and all others who are

Agriculture estimates for January 1, 1920,
show 2i.l09.000 horses and 4,995. 900
mules on farms. or an increase Of l,276.000
horses and $4,000 mules in the last
decade. At the same time there we're ex-
ported during the nine years ending June

mules. The rise in prices for good draft
horses and mules, In spite Of the existence
Of more than 100000 horses and al
most 100000 mules on farms, indicates
how agricultural and transportation needs
are growing. Good authorities predict Q
steady rise in prices Of horses and mulei
for the next three years.

Don't Burn Your Hands, Use This.
Take any piece of heavy material you
may have on hand, preferably bed ticking
or sateen. Make a case about seven inches
square. Leave one end open and hem it
as you would pillow case. Make loop
four inches long of tape. Sew this securely
to one corner of the open end. Now your
case is made.
For the inside use the thckest material
you have very good thing to use is the
covering that sometimes comes on ham or
breakfast bacon. Cut these pieces little
smaller than the case so that when you
have sewed them together they will slip
easily into the case you have already
made. Slip this filler" into the case and
haste together.
II you will keep this hanging on the rod
that goes across the front Of your range
1t will be found very convenient for hand
ling hot things from the oven or the top
Of the range. When the cover is soiled it
is so easy to remove and launder Once
you have used one of these handy little
litter" you will never be without one.
