Nav Baskets

One of the most charming conceits
is the braided paper basket. Strips
of pale pink lavender or blue crepe
paper in double or triple fold are
woven together into a square or OBJ
long about ten inches wide. fold
of the same paper is used to bind
the edges, and the corners are then
turned up in different ways TO form
deep and odd-shaped basket. At
tached at the tip of diagonally OPP
posite corners are twisted folds OF
the paper which are long enough to
round over well up from the recep-
tacle and, crossing each other. serve
az handles. The girl who knows how
TO make tiny paper flowers can fas-
ten a small bunch of them al the
joining and crossing of the handles
or pert bows of narrow ribbon will
answer the same decorative purpose.
Another conceit which can be cas-
lily copied originated with the fash
ionable florist, who this year has
popularized the sending of a few
choice flowers, instead of the huge
punches formerly in vogue. The rare
blooms, however. are arranged in the
most artistic manner imaginable in
charming little receptacles which can
lie made to serve later as table or
mantel ornaments. Noteworthy among
these is the dainty box, formerly en-
tirely of twigs interviewer with green
moss. The woody sprouts of the
trees are so tender now that a girl
could easily braid a number of them
into an odd-shaped flower holder, and
what could be- aprettier than countless
violets, star flowers or arbutus buds
peering through the interstices of the
green, young twigs?

RITCHIE OF ANNE ARUNDEL

Governor Ritchie will head
Anne Arundel's delegation to the
Democratic State convention to-
morrow. The county Democracy
has done itself honor in making
its spokesman at the gathering
one of the county's citizens and
Democrats who is also the first
citizen of the State by reason OF
his official position.
Highly important will be the
deliberations and action of the
convention. Its. chief function is
to select delegates to the San
Francisco convention which will
name the candidate of the party
in November for President of the
United States. Anne Arundel
county will have one of the big
four" in the person of the Cover
nor. Another will be Senator
John Walter Smith. who is the
candidate of the party for re
election to the Senate. Whatever
course the State convention may
take on the prohibition issue
will have a strong influence in
the Presidential and Congress
eional election this fall. There
fore, it is of the gravest import
ance that the conventions atti-
tude should be the result of the
deepest and most thoughtful CON
sideration. 1t will be composed
of Maryland Democrats whose
combined wisdom and viewpoints
ought to htly represent the
masses of the people.
Anne Arundel is sending to the
convention a wise and trust
worthy leader in Governor
Ritehie. and with him a delega-
ton that includes able and de
pendable Democrats in the local
party.

Rogers. 'The Strange Boarder" will
be presented at the Republic Thea

Portraying a man of the open
plains, robbed by bunco men of the

did not commit, Rogers has ample op-
portunity for revelation of the fine
humor and the delicate touches of pa
thos so peculiarly his own.
II like this story" says Mr.. Rogers.
There's a big chance for character
work. and nothing frothy about it.
There's a lot of real No 1 humor in
it, and plenty OF straight drama with
genuine grip to it. It's the kind of
a story that makes you feel you're
living life, not just acting it,
The role of the big. bluff westerner
who. refuses to let their duplicity
shake his faith and trust in the in
herent goodness of his fellow men, is
one for which this rugged. fne-heart-
ed screen star is peculiarly fitted.

This has always seemed the choice
meat for this dish supreme. 1t has
purely been common custom to use
chicken, but since ii is the tendency
of the age TO depart from timeworn
conventions, ham instead Of chicken
may be satisfactorily substituted in an
a la king dish with excellent results

PUBLIC SCHOOL CRISIS;
TEACHERS LIVING WAGE

The crisis in the public schools does
not admit of compromise says the New
York Times Only policy that is
constructive and far-seeing can pre-
vent an undermining of the very
foundation of American institutions,
which is an enlightened character.
The problem cannot be attacked too
soon or too boldly. Almost every day
brings new evidence of its imminence
and urgency.
When the Lockwood -Donohue bill
was first urged We learned that in dd-
dition to the losses by death and old
age the schools of New York had lost.
in single year, more than LOCO
teachers through the resignation of
those who could no longer live on
their salaries in self-respecting
manner The number of applicants
from the normal schools had fallen off
sharply, so that the shortage threaten
ed to be permanent and progressive.
Now comes a final touch in the pic
ture of educational destitution. In
order to relieve the overburdened
teachers who remain, the children in
the higher grades have been called
upon to teach those in the lower.
The "little mothers" of the poorer
quarters, pathetic in the Importance
of their good will, are duplicated in
little teachers" throughout the city.
And still thousands of children and
tens of thousands are admitted on part
time or denied altogether the Ameri-
can birthright of an education.
Now comes bit of news even more
deeply disquieting. Hitherto the alb
lest teachers-ablest in character and
traditions, as well as in intellect
have come from the colleges. A poll
taken at Vassar discloses the fact that
though the college has hitherto sent
out a constant stream of educators.
not one of the graduating class in.
tends to become teacher.
The reason given-lack of adequate
pay-may sound selfish and sordid. 1t
is not really so. In profession can
good work be accomplished by men
and women who are starved in mind.
And that is what the present salaries
mean, as also the slightly increased
salaries now urged in Albany. Under
the conditions of today parsimony in
education means not only a shortage
of teachers and the overburdening of
those who remain, but an actual dry
ing up of the source of character and
efficiency.
The opposition at Albany argues
that, as the urgent need is for mere
numbers, the chief increases of salary
should be in the lower grades of tht
service. The need of numbers is
manifest. but it is not the most urgent
need. Equally great is the need of
teachers of ability and character
Such teachers will not be secured by
any pay schedule which, though it of
fers attractive terms for the present.
gives no promise of advancement of
dignified and productive life work.
The Lockwood -Donohue bill is con-
structice. far-seeing; it contemplates
not only the surface requirements OF
the present but the vital needs of the
future. In that it is at one with all
parents, who, absorbing as are the
love and the sacrifice of day to day.
are inspired and sustained by the
thought of the future of their children
and of their country

mind as "clear as bell"
"Men do not do desperate
things without strong reason,
said Representative Pou, "and i
charge here and now that these
contemplate attacks upon Presi-
dent Wilson before and during
the Versailles peace conference
were made for one purpose only :;
to wit, to promote the prospect
OF Republican success in the COM
ing election.
Surely there are times when
the official head of a nation is
in fairness entitled to the sincere,
generous support Of all the peo-
pie of the nation. There are
times when good men are glad to
discard all political differences.
There are times when every de
cent Republican is proud to fol-
low a Democratic President.
During every hour President
Wilson spent in Europe, he was
entitled to such unstinted sup
port, but it seemed certain Re
publican politicians, even during
that critical period, thought more
of party success than they did of
the great struggle to make war
between nations less probable.
Let us not forget this: Mr.
Wilson was not only President,
but he was also Commander-in-
Chief of the Army and Navy, and
the war was still on. The at
tacks upon him were just as un-
warranted as the attack of a sol
dier on his commander during
battle" !"
Representative Pou then read
the Walsh and Campbell resolu-
ton declaring respectively that at
any time the President leaves the
soil of the United States he shall
be considered unable to perform
the duties of the office and the
Nice-President shall serve, and
forbidding the President to leave
the territorial confines OF the
country.
Against this man who had led
America to heights never attain
ed before" said Representative
Pou, the bill and the resolution
have just read were directed
While he was at Versailles striv-
ing for a just and righteous
peace, we have such perfor-
nance. Can you think of any
thing more unfair? Do you think
the people of America approve
such treatment of the Presi-
dent?"
