Ora G. Morningstar is the most

take his opinion as to the theoretically
correct manner of playing a shot than
that Of any N else. He Is versatile
and not especially better in one de-
partment Of the game than In another.
Possibly he may be a little too tech

too perfectly, like just dropping on

Morningstar uses a 22-ounce cue. So

stroke. depending more on the fore
arm rather than the wrist for action.
His stroke Is smooth and rhythmic. a
sort of fluid stroke, and is delightful
to watch.

would probably have become even
more famous as an artist. as he has

Retirement AGE
CAUSES WRANGLE
Senate May Refuse to Accept
House Amendment-500,-
600 Workers Affected.

With the passage of the Sterling
Lehlbach civil service retirement bill
In the House yesterday, the fight to
make the retirement age So years for
the thousands OF Government clerks
in Washington will be shifted to the
conferees between the two houses.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear in the Senate to force tho &C
ceptance OF the House amendments
which makes the retirement age GO
years for railway postal clerks; 81
years for mechanics, city and rural
letter carriers and postoffice clerks
and 65 for the remainder of the Fed
eral and District Government en-
ploycs.
mo one was able to predict today
Just what the outcome will be, al
though II is regarded as doubtful II
the Senate will accept the amendment
in it's entirety.
The strength of support for the re-
tirement bill displayed itself in the
House when Congressman Blanton of
Texas, sought in vain to recommit
the measure. His efforts we're beaten
by a vote of 317 to 9.
1t is estimated that the measure
will affect approximat ely 100000 civil
service employees in Washington, all
over the United States and in the
Panama Canal Zone, all OF whom will
contribute towards the annuity fund.
The bill is made retroactive to in
clude persons who were in the service
on September so, 1919. but who have
since left the Government employ.
Ninety days after the President at
taches his signature tho retirement
machinery will be set in motion.
Those who have reached the age of
eligibility after fifteen years service
will be entitled to a maximum PEN
sion of 500 and a minimum OF $50.
Provision is made that those receiv-
ing the maximum amount must have
record of thirty years service ana
must have received salary OF at
least $1,000. Those reviewing sala-
ry less than 81 200 will get an annui-
ty of so per cent Of their Government
pay.
approximately 65 per cent Of the
general pension fund will be raised
by the Government, the remainder to
be contributed by the employees. This
will require a deduction Of "a per
cent from the salaries of all employees
to whom the act applies, beginning
on the first day OF the third month
next following the signing of the bill.

D. c. TEACHERS BONUS
IS ASKED OF CONGRESS
Mass Meeting of Educators and Civic
Representatives Demands Higher
Pay in District Schools.

Bonus OF $500 or more before June
30 for each teacher in the Districts
public schools was asked of Con
gress in a resolution passed unani-
mously last night when nearly 1000
teachers, civic representatives and
business men met in the Masonic
Temple.
Prominent educators who addressed
thte assembly declared that low SAL
aries are a menace to the schools;
meant less efficient teachers; were
not an advantage in promoting good
citizenship and that Congress must
take cognizance TO the fact that sal
aries have not increased parallel with
the high trend OF living costs.
The meeting was a part OF cam
paign to point out to Congress- the
deplorable situation in the local sch DOL
system. 1t is the first time teachers
have gathered in such a large num-
Der for one purpose.
The meeting had no factions. The
Thurston-Van Schaick controversy
was not brought up and leaders in
the campaign declared that nothing
interests the teachers at this time
but the bonus or higher pay.
Accusing Senators and members of
Congress of being profoundly ignor-
ant OF conditions in the local schools.
DR.. Hugh S. Magill. OF the National
Educational Association, declared:
IL know of several Senators who
really believe that Washington leads
other cities as regards satisfactory
wages for teachers nd good school
buildings" He said Congress should
be educated to the real situation.
Roy C. Clafflin, chairman of the
school committee of the Board OF
Trade, pledged the support of that
body in the teachers campaign. Frank
c. Bright and John Dolph, of the
Rotary Club. also spoke.
Picture slides showing the salaries
paid teachers in other cities were
shown. The meeting closed with a
salute to the flag.
