SUNDAY SCHOOL
TEACHER PAID
II Teaching Corps in Church Schools

ency Of Organization Be
Increased

The inadequate supply Of compe-
tent Sunday school teachers and the
fact that most or those who volunteer
are unreliable are fast increasing the
popularity Of the paid Sunday school
teacher, functionary of whose exist
ence the general public is hardly
aware, says the New York Sun.
Throughout the United States the
Sunday scvhool attendance among pro-
testants is only So per cent of the en-
rollment. Persons cOnversant with
the situation attribute this poor show
ing in large measure to the inferior
quality of the teaching, the irregular
attendance of the teachers and the
fact that often classes are so frequent
ly without teachers that the Sunday
school superintendent is obliged to
assign different persons to take charge
of classes for long succession of
Sundays The demand for paid Sun
day school teachers in the city is now
three times the supply

FIRST ROUND

Skirmish Before Resolutions Commit

Over Booze Plank in
Platform.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-Wets
won the first skirInish today before
the resolutions committee of the
democratic national convention. By
vote of Fl to % they adopted a
motion which forced the drys to pre-
sent their side Of the question first.
The motion and vote followed a
lively scrap during the course OF
which w. J. Bryan charged Senator
Glass, chairman of the resolutions
committee, with joking and quibblins
on d serious question.
Both vets and drys, jockeying for
position, tried to make their oppo
'nents present their arguments first
Bryan said the vets ought to talk
first, because they were demanding
change in the law.
Congressman SABBATH, Illinois, and
Bourke Cochran, New York, said the
vets did not have any change to pro
pose, and argued that Bryan and his
supporters should open the hearings
With both sides declaring that they
were not seeking to reopen the ques
ton of prohibition, Senator Glass
finally tried to bring the pickering to
a close by an1oun cling that "as no
body seems to care to be heard on
this matter, we will proceed on sons
thing else"
Bryan, his eyes flashing, was on
his feet Immediately.
~This is no time for joking" he
cried. This is a serious question
and we are not here TO be ruled out
on a bubble.
II resent that charge that I an

have stated and the other side has
stated that you have nothing to pre-
sent. Therefore the chair said the
committee had better proceed to hear
others who do want to be heard"

IDLE TRUCK
LOSES MONEY
Overhead For One of These Big Ma
chimes is Too Great to Admit
... Of Long Periods Of go"
H Rest

The idle truck not only earns no
profits but represents steady loss.
To obtain a maximum return on the
investment maximum of work must
be produced by the truck.
Overhead expense, including depre-
citation, interest on investment, lnsur-
ance, garage charges, etc, Is constant
whether the truck be on the road or
in the repair shop. But when the
truck is working this overhead ex-
pense is swelled by drivers wages,
gasoline, oil and tire COST and similar
items. It is obvious that the greater
the amount of actual work accom-
plished the more this cost is dissl'
pated.
Owners increasingly are giving
their attention to methods or devices
that reduce a trucks idle time. Pri-
marily the truck must be maintained
in good mechanical condition. This
condition attained, it becomes prob.
lem of increasing the number ana
frequency Of paying loads
Systematic and expert inspection
should anticipate nearly every me
chanicaI trouble barring those caused
bv accidents. Thorough and frequent
fabrication is the most effective pre-
yentive against the many seemingly
insign ificant troubles which cause
costly delays.
Many factors enter into the prob
lem of increasing the number and
frequency Of paying loads Proper
routing and dispatching, efficient
loading and unloading methods and
the use of the logical size Of truck
for the work to be accomplished are
among them.

Every employer is looking for men

One very large employer recently
engaged an executive at a salary in

of the first tours of inspection
throughout the plant he saw means
of effecting an economy which would
amount in the course OF twelve
months to fully one-third Of a milloan

date of his employment he saw an
other opportunity for saving almost
as. much.
Why was this man and the others
here mentioned able to see the Things

Because they fitted themselves to
