What The Figures show
A study and analysis of these figures
will reveal reason why teachers in
the schools of the cities and larger
communities feel that their salaries are
not commensurate with their experience
and training. as compared with the
wage received by tutors in some schools
of lesser Importance and requiring a
smaller degree of efficiency or edu-
cation. Without singing out any par
| ticular schools for the comparison, the
difference may he plainly observed in
several instances.

TROUBLES A
The Washington times., 1920-07-13
FIGHT TO DRIVE
RED DANCES OUT
War Declared on Ballroom BoI-
shevists in London.
Teachers Combine.

LONDON. July 12-One hundred
teachers OF dancing are meeting in
London to plan the deathblow for the
ballroom Bolshevists.
At present the favorite dances are
the one-step, the fox-trot. and the
hesitation waltz. Just what these
dances are, just how they should be
done. nobody seems to know, but
everybody cherishes a theory.
Eighty per cent of the freak steps
and styles which have crept into mod
ern dancing Is put down to the war
time boom, when would-be dancing
instructors. quick to seize their op-
portunity of making money while the
craze was on, worked OFF their own
theories on unsuspecting pupils. a
number of these pupils wanted a lot
for their money, so they taught that
to dip, slide. and excel In other wild
antics was what the best people. were
doing" and many OF them for the
first time rejoiced in the BELIEF that
they had ballroom feet and could do
what they liked with them.
Extravagant fancies were intro
duced and today there is no regula-
tion step. 1t is a case of go-as-you-
please-and beg -nobody's-pardon. nc
But now 100 dancers with diploma $
are trying to make It At for others
besides heroes. The foxtrot Is to be
reformed. Degrading derelictions are
to be eliminated. steps are to be
sorted out and labeled and thereafter.
while A, B, c and d arc sanctioned as
de rigeur," all the rest of the alpha
bet will be bad form"
The ballroom of the future will
have no place for the athletic young
man who takes his partner for sn
animated dumb-bell and swings her
round until her high-heeled slipper
finds n home In someone's eye.
Many of these enthusiasts are al
ready curblng their ardor while they
keep n watchful eve on the dancing
senate. mindful that it's disapprovnl
might cause them to be struck on the
club list

KEEPS2WNES
IN NSAME HOUSE
They Are Both Contented and
Town Is Puzzled Whether
. To Prosecute.

PITTSBURGH, July 13-With a
sober, industrious citizen In its con-
nnes who has two wives and families
under the same roof. maintaining
both In peace and harmony, yet In
defiance OF the law the town OF Woods
Run Is In quandary.
Wladislaw Swiss, 'the man with
two wives" as he is known through
out the Woods Run district, came to
this country from Croatia about twelve
years ago. leaving a wife and three
children In his native land. After he
had been here several years home
ties began to loosen. He met a pretty
Croatian girl in Woods Run; they fell
in love and were married. Four chill
dren were born and the family pros
pered.
Recently the wife overseas express.
ed q wish to come here. Her husband
sent her travelling funds and she
came with the three children. She
was confronted with her husbands
second wife.
II want to do what Is best for both
wives" the husband told Alderman
Young, of Preble avenue, when his
hrst wife and family arrived. SO he
consulted both wives and they agreed
to live together. They get along eN-
ceedingly well and are now asking
only <lat they be left alone TO live
happily with their husband. The hus-
band supports both families in COM
Portable fashion from his earnings,
the children seem satisfied and do
mestic tranquility Is the rule.
What the Woods Run residents are
debating Is whether the "man with
two wives" should be allowed to keep
both for the sake OF the children or
whether they are duty bouId to up
hold the laws OF the State and Of
morality and compel him to give up
one wife or the other. Neither wife
has made any move to prosecute, the
dual husband for bigamy and 40
such step apparently is contemplated.

FAIR LASS|E EATS
$4,000 0DOUCHNUT
Salvation Army Captain Drinks
Cup of Coffee While Taking
Legion Prize.

ATLANTA, Ca, July 13.-Capt.
Mary Crawford. Salvation Army las
sic, ut, the prize meal here. 1t cost
five thousand plunks, cold cash. On
the face OF that. statement II would
appear that Miss Crawford must have
consumed about fifty planked steaks
garnished with humming bird wings,
and swallowed--a shocking thing for
a Salvation Army lassle!-the con-
tents of 900 quarts of Canadian Club
at current case prices.
Nothing, however, could be further
from the truth. What Miss Crawford
actually ate was one puny doughnut
with an unusually large hole. What
Miss Crawford actually drank was
one cup of coffee, lukewarm at that.
Yet the meal did cost 5000 bucks.
Tho American Legion paid for it In
five new and crisp $1,000 bills Mayor
Key and Capt. Bill Bailey served It,
oourteously waiving the 10 per cent
tip of $500 due them. The whole
scene was staged on n truck at Five
Points, in the presence of crowd of
several hundred, who watched eagerly
while Miss Crawford made away with
SIS, 900 worth of dough and lava.
Every now and then S25 crumb
drifted to the pavement, but on the
whole Miss Crawford was quite com
posed over each $500 bite. Afterward
she remarked thatit was pretty good
chow, but she had tasted better for
two bits at local cafetsrias.
The stunt was part Of the program
for Legion Day" In the Salvation
Army's $4,000 campaign. The idea
was that the Salvation Army dough-
nuts and coffee were worth more than
millions to members of the legion
while they were In France and they
would prove the fact by buying the
doughnut and coffee from the army
for $4,000 now.
The price was raised in cash con-
ttibutlons among the $500 members
OF the legion in Atlanta. and was paid
promptly on the spot to the Army.

BRITISH PREFER
AMERICAN FILMS
'Theaters Use rs Per Cent of U.
S. Screen Stories-Home
Producers Uneasy.

While the "movies' as whole
enormously increased in prestige with
the public. Parliament and press in
1919 in the United Kingdom, the fact
that the British Aim theaters still ex-
hibit about IS per cent Of American
films sis causing the British motion
pictures industry much uneasiness.
Government reports just received In
Washington state that the producing
Aand manufacturing film industry
made greater strides, no doubt than
any other section Of the trade, and
great efforts have been made to
create producing organizations that
would supply the British market with
British films and provide serious COM
petition to the American films. How
ever. the Importation of films into
Great Britain from other than Ameri-
can sources is negligible, and today.
notwithstanding the intensive adver-
tisng campaign of British Aim pro-
ducers, the flm theaters stul exhibit
75 per cent of American films.
Last year more than S1,00O,000
linear feet of American films were
shipped to Great Britain, the value
thereof being within few dollars of
half a billion dollars.
Within the last year three men,
bers of Parliament have been elected
who are in the movie" industry
they call 1t the cinema" industry
over there-and there are perhaps
half a dozen members who are inter-
ested in this branch of trade.
The world war popularized the
movies" in France, but II had the
effect Of bewildering the Frenchmen
about America. The films shown
either depicted the tall buildings of
New York or Wild West cowboy
scenes This caused the French to
get all mixed UP about the United
States, as they could not understand
n country that had only taller build
ings than they ever saw before and
Mt the same time wild Indians and
frontier scenes
Government reports show that
American films are being shown in
every part of the world and the de-
mand for them is increasing all the
time. Despite all the efforts of the
British, French. Italian, and German
Aim producers to dislodge the Ameri-
can films, the popularity of the latter
is increasing steadily.
The Washington times., 1920-07-13

A coating of oil, which gathered
on her hull despite precautions taken
by her skipper in having her envolep-
ed in a canvass covering, was the
cause for her sudden removal from
Sandy Hook. The defender may re-
main in dry dock until late Wednes-
day night or early Thursday morn
ing. Again. she may be towed back
here for another spin over the cup
course.
The Shamrock w with the 23-metre
boat, rolled lazily at her mooring in
the Horseshoe cove early today, ready
for a spin off the Hook" Sunny
weather prevailed and there was
light breeze outside.
PLEASURE CRAFT SWARM.
AS the date for the first OF the cup
races draws near. the waters ,around
Sandy Hook are attracting craft of
all descriptions. Many pleasure yachts
already have arrived for the period
of the races, and it was expected
their number would be largely aug
mented today By Thursday morning
a choice anchorage around the old
Hook" will be as rare as a choice
New York apartment.
The rival yachts now await the
pleasure of the gods, which in their
case means good weather and plenty
Of wind. A squall which broke over
the Hook" last evening caused the
racers to roll and tug at their moor
ings but no damage was done.
SHAMROCK Nv MEASURED.
On the way down, Harold Webb,
official measurer of the New York
Yacht Cdub completed "taping" the
emerald-hued sloop, and the regatta
committee now has the final measure
ments for botht yachtst. 1t is ex-
pectetd that the time allowance Sham
rock " must give to the Resolute
hours.
The rivals lie at anchor within half
a mile Of each other, and, in looking
them over, the great question, (which
will VIM" is presented more forcibly
than ever. The man in the street may
not know a halyard from a back stay.
The Washington times., 1920-07-13

and may think the starboard tack is
something to be struck by hammer,
but he does want an answer to that
one big query.
Yachting, confined to coastal and
lake communities. is something that
cannot be learned by theory, and a
practical understanding of the sport
is not to be assimilated over night.
1t is unlike horse race, prize fight,
or any ordinary test where human
skin counts for so much.
NATURE BIGGEST FACTOR.
The boat designer and the, builder
play a big part in the success or fail
ure Of a racing yacht, while the man
at the wheel and the crew that han
dies the ropes and sails contributes a
substantial quota, But the most inn
portant factor, after aN- supplied by
nature. The. power that has supplied
water loconotion down through the
ages, that brought Columbus to the
new worid-the ever capricious and
often treacherous wind - determines
the final result. In the case OF two
boats so differently constructed as tho
Resolutesan Shamrock ~. it is this
element that holds the fate of the cup.
WIND PLAYS FAvORITEs.
Ask any yachtsman why, at dis
tance OF half a mile apart. one boat
will get a puff of wind that is denied
the other. That same puff may enable
the favored yacht to shoot a. few
points up to windward and decide the
result OF a race. And yet. the wind
has ever indiscriminately played fav-
orites.
The boats are the ideas. in marine
architecture, of two men, Herreschoff
and Nicholson. who know the last
word in yacht construction The
Shamrock, heavy and sound of hull
and spars, with her hemp ropes and
wooden blocks, typifying English
tradition; the Reso1ute, swift in ap-
pearance of metal hull and lighter
gear symbolizes the ever progressive
and quick moving American. But
picking the winner before a single
race has been sailed is task for the
seers.

Beliefs Concerning Teeth.

There are curious fancies about
teeth. To dream about teeth was held
70 be warning that sorrow was at
hand, and 1t was still more unlucky
to dream of ones teeth falling out.
Many people still throw an extracted
tooth into the fire for luck, and this
is observed specially In the case Of
young children to ensure that the re-
mainder of their teeth will come prop
erly. Teeth wide apart is said TO be
a sign of future prosperity and hap
