The official view is that. rather

San Francisco, March 2G.-Maxin,
dempsey a wisp Of a woman-tht
governments chief witness in its
ATTEMPT to brand Jack Dempsey as
q slaeker-has seen her love for
Jack turn to hatred, she said.
Prior to the arraignment Of Jack
Dempsey and Jack Kearns, his man
aeer, on charge OF conspiring to
eTade the draft, Maxine at her hotel
here, told the story of woman
#coined. She is anxious for the
time to come when she can appear
AGAINST the worlds heavyweight
champion, her exhusband.
Strange 70 say a token from Demp-
sey was the match that set fire to
Maxines hatred.
Maxine had been playing a piano
at Wells Nevada, a freight division
point Of 200 inhabitants, while Jack
was posing for the camera in Los
Angeles before the admiring gaze
of movie queens.
Those who eriticise men for tell.

On Jack that | did she said. "But
I didn't do anything. Then one day
about q week after the American
Legion got busy got package

Life as the wife of a fighter has v
$ drawbacks, Maxine said. She
astified to Jacks fighting spirit and n
lid chat for days before a fight he =
as sullen and savage.
She explained that she had once
lacked Jacks eyes, herself.

of a gay party when the parish came
together to honor George C. Felch
deacon of the church, on the occa-
sion of his fftieth birthday anniver-

church on the pretense of special
choir rehearsal. With some grumbl-
ing George started for the church
with a bundle of music under
his arm large enough to choke a
camel. Great was his surprise when
he was greeted by the shouts and
laughter of his many friends who
awaited him.
He was conducted to a table where
a mammoth cake with fifty candles
rested. Ice cream, macaroons, lady
fingers, etc., were served, a musical

The Walkout of Teachers

Editor CALIFORNIAN:
On behalf of the public school
teachers | ask the attention of your
many readers to the following article
from the Literary Digest of Jan. 3,
1920:
Teachers have finally stopt plead
ing for more pay and have walked
out Last year $4,000 school teach
ers abandoned their calling to go into
better-paid work according to Secre-
tary Lane. The Financial Chronicle
New York; calls attention to the
fact that 1000 committees in New
York state have been forced to close
their schools because of a lack of
teachers. 1t places the shortage at
1000 in this state alone All in all
there is a shortage of $4,000 teachers
according to a careful poll of the Ma
tlonal Education Association, and
$4,000 employed admittedly unfit for
the job. At a recent meeting in
New York of Commissioners of Edu-
cation for nine States these state
mcnts were made, and their publica-
ton leads the New York Evening
Post to comment:
"The reason is inadequacy of pay"
Names Commissioner declared this
week that since the minimum there
had been made $500 no difficulty had
been found in maintaining its schools.
The largest and more progressive
states have tended toward definite
policy of State support by direct APP
preparation in addition to local
systems of taxation.
The resignation of DR.. Virgil
Prettyman as head of the Horace
Mann School to accept a position in
the business world "typifies the drift
of the ablest minds out of the teach
ing profession" The New York Eve
ming Sun, saying this also points to
his action as noteworthy by the
gloomy picture he draws of the flu.
turc Of education in this country" 1t
goes on:
The present salary increases, he
says, are totally inadequate. Nothing
less than 200 or 800 per cent will
meet the situation. Since mt present
