SHAMROCK WILL
HAVE Ne VI SKIPPER
IN TUESDAY 8 RACE
Sir Thomas Upton Not Satisfi-
ed with Capt. Burton
NEXT TRIAL TOMORROW
Expert Observers Of the TWO Trials
Made Think Captain Burton
Failed

New York, July l9.-The third race
of the Americas cup series will be
sailed tomorrow over triangular
course similar to that Of Saturday
which was called off because the
yachts were unable to finish inside
the time limit,
1t is probable that the Shamrock
will have a new skipper Sir Thomas
Upton plans to take Captain William
p. Burton from the wheel of the cup
challenger, Shamrock, " The decis
ion to supplant Captain Burton as
skipper of the Upton sloop was prac-
tically decided upon at a series OF con
ferences today of Sir Thomas Upton,
Captain II. l.. Garrett, representative
of the Royal Ulster Yacht club on
hoard the Resolute; Charles Nchol-
son, designer of the Shamrock and
Col. Duncan F. Neill, personal repre-
sentative of Sir Thomas on board the
Shamrock.
When the Upton seyenty-footer is
found at the starting line for Tues
days race, either Colonel Neill or De
slgner Nicholson will probably be in
command Sir Thomas's choice for
skipper OF the challenger is Mr. Mic
holson, who not only designed but
built the Shamrock as well and is al
so a yachtman of ability as shown
in his contests in England. Whether
Captain Burton. and his wife, who
sails on the challenger as the sloop's
timekeeper will remain onboard the
Shamrock after the wheel has been
taken from the Gosport skipper, is
not known, but the belief on Sir
Thomal' steam yacht tonight was
that Burton would not care to sail on
the challenger under the circum
stances.
The removal of captain from a
cup match is believed to be without
precedent in the higtcry of cup rae
ing. Sir Thomas would not take OF
Captain Burtons removal or any OF
the circumstances bearing upon IL,
other than to say tonight, when asked
about the Last two races, that things
were not going as satisfactorily a.
they might Sir Thomas continues to
say that he is more than satisfied
with the design and sailing ability Of
his latest challenger,
THAT things were not going well in
the handling Of the Shamrock in tho
last two races were no concealed
either on board Sir Thomas Lipton's
steam yacht Victoria, where S,I
Thomas associates and friends watch
the races or On the tender Killarney
where officers and crew Of the chal
lenger are housed.

Easter Vacation.

The Easter vacation of the public
school children is on and 10000 young
Washingtoniaus are released from
their lessons until April 12. There is
to be boom in base ball, rope-skipping
and other forms Of play. If the chill
dren will pardon suggestion which is
not meant as lecture or an exAerta-
tion, for people are weary Of such
things, the following is offered. 1t has
long been a custom of public schools
in other cities to give spring excur-
sions to Washington that the scholars
may see the wonders of their capital
Everybody here has seen these young
people trooping through the streets
and parks On their way from the Ma
tienal Museum to the Agricultural
grounds and greenhouses, to the Aonu-
ment, the bureau of. engraving and
printing, to the White House, and the
Coreeran Art Gallery, to the Botanic
Garden and the Capitol and to all the
other places of public interest. 1t has
often been said that Washington pee-
pie do not see as much of the museum,
galleries and the inside of the public
buildings as they should. There are
so many places of interest in and
around the capital that perhaps the
children singly, OF in groups, would
enjoy visiting them. 1t is good and
creditable thing to know ones own city,
and while there is SO much to be seen
here that nobody can see it all, it
might be a pleasure to the young folk
to explore the old town during their
Easter vacation.

Brick Walks.

In one Of the downtown streets of
the city an old brick sidewalk has
just been torn up to be replaced by
granelithie. 1t was one Of the worst
in the business section. Gradually
these old brick walks are being elimi-
mated. They should all have gone
long ago in every part of the city.
The brick sidewalk is an abomination.
Yet under the existing system they
cannot be replaced more rapidly than
at certain rate annually, and at that
rate it will take a good many years to
remove all of these relics of the old
One Of the most urgent
ly needed improvements in this city
today is a wholesale clearance of these
brick walks. 1t will take a lot of
money, but it will be worth the ex-
penditure to have smooth sidewalks
all over town for once in the history
Of the capital.

ply stated. The average pay of ele-
mentary teachers in the United States
in 1918, the latest period for which
figures are available, was $606 a year.
while the average in the high schools
was 81 OBJ. Actually the teaching force
has been the poorest paid of all adult
workers in the United States during
these last few years Of high prices. In
some localities salaries have ranged
as low as $3.50 and 5000 a year. 1t is
no wonder that the men and women
have gone from these ranks into the
factories and shops and offices where
they could get many times such miser-
able pay.
One encouraging sign appears from
the reports. Almost unanimously
throughout the country the taxpayers
favor an increase of salaries for the
teachers. They most assuredly do in
Washington, and it is gratifying to
find from these accounts that in both
rural and urban sections in all parts
of the country the sentiment Of the
people is for higher pay scale for
those to whom is intrusted the train
ing Of the young and upon whom de-
pends the public education system Of
the United States.

work, some in warehouses, in the most
dangerously exposed situations.
The war activities of the govern
ment, suddenly expanded, yielded an
immense quantity of record material.
Some of this is of permanent value.
Some Of it is Of no utility or worth
whatever. Eventually it must be culled
over and classified. for preservation or
destruction. Meanwhile, it is packed
away helter skelter, in many cases
without any precautions against loss,
and for the present in large degree
utterly unavailable for reference.
There are, for instance, the records of
the food administration, which has
been closed as separate organization,
and its duties taken over by the De-
partment of Justice. These papers are
mainly packed away in warehouse
building.
Sooner or later all these papers must
be sorted. 1t is inconceivable that
they should be permitted to remain in
definitely stored, at heavy expense to
the government, and with the risk of
not only their own destruction, but the
destruction of much more valuable
property and perhaps irreplaceable rec
ords. Considering the types of build
ings used by the government in the
peak of war rush here, conf1agration
is by no means unlikely. This ma
terial should be regarded as danger.
Gus element, apart from its possible
value. A clearing house of wartime
records should be organized without
delay. and all those papers that are
likely to be needed hereafter kept
apart and, as soon as building can
be provided, stored in freproof quar-
ters where they will not menace the
city with disaster.

Closed Schools.

Washingtons school troubles, due to
shortage of teachers, are not excep-
tional. They are characteristic Of the
tlmes. The figures that have been
printed from research of the Ma
iional Educational Association show a
1iost distressing shortage in the teach
lng force Throughout the country, and
Bhe 18th of February last there were
1S,279 closed schools in the United
States because of lack of teachers,
while 1900 were being taught by
teachers below standard taken on in
the emergency. In some eases the
pupils formerly assigned to the closed
schools have been transferred to other
districts, entailing much hardship in
going to and from classes, while in
ether instances the pupils have al
together lost instruction.

Cleaning Up.

The acting superintendent Of police
has asked the force to cooperate in
making the city cleaner. This is an
opsning note of the spring clean up
campaign. The emphasis which the
citizens of Washington put on their
spring cleanup and the loud voice in
which they chant the slogan, "Help to
make the city cleaner" might suggest
that the capital is quite dirty. At the
end of a long. hard winter Washington
does not look as neat, trim and snappy
as is its habit, but this is a clean city
Its streets, parks, "parkings" and the
gardens of its homes are the admira-
tion of people from other cities. Ne
other American city can compare with
Washington. The citizen of the capt.
tai landing in another city thinks it
hopelessly dirty.
Washington is not content at being
relatively clean, but will strive for
positive cleanliness. There is little
use in reeounting the reasons why
Washington is now somewhat below
normal in appearance. They are well
and winter. Washingto-
mans need no particular urging in this
cleanup matter. Let the government
attend to the streets and the public
parks and the citizens will do the rest.
Already, you may see people raking
and re-seeding the grass plots before
their homes and the work Of trimming
and setting out towering
plants goes merrily on. Some mem
bers of the great family of Washing
tonians may be lax, and it is said that
there are black sheep in all families.
Here the persuasion of the police will
be useful. It is said that the members
Of the police force have been directed
to "pay strict attention to the matter
of throwing paper and other waste ma
terial about the streets, roads and
other places"

April Rain.

There has not been much of the
shining splendor and gayety of spring
in the weather today, but if the flower
bushes and the trees could speak eur
Language they would probably say,
"This is very agreeable indeed. Sun
light is, of course, great tonic to US,
but warm April rain is quite stimu
lating after our long winter sleep, and
it encourages us to put forth eur
leaves and blossoms" The golden for
sythias and the pink and white orien-
tai magnolias are already in flower,
and the tulips, jonquils, violets and
pansies will grace cur gardens before
many days can pass.

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON;

The Great Delusiea.
This thing called "Fear" is something
queer. In fancy often it draws near,
And holds a strange command.
We shrink and fret and make a bet
the worst is coming true-and yet
1t never seems to land.
A man viii shake and lie awake in
terror of some slight mistake
In grammar OF in dress.
A girlish glance that seems askance will
make him stumble in the dance,
In cowardly distress.
A drop of rain makes him complain in
dread of rheumatic pain;
He SHES at motor cars;
He finds a dearth of human mirth be-
cause he thinks that this old earth
May get bad news from Mars.
But should he sight by day or night
q confagration or fight.
That is the real stuff,
He'll jump right in to die or win and
mention to his friends and kin
That "Fear" is all bluff.

Giving the President Time.

Inc question OI dHOtucT uouuiudtioh
for Mr.. Wilson will not be submitted
at the presidential preferential pri-
mary soon to be held in Georgia. 1t
should not have been proposed. 1t
should not be renewed elsewhere.
There is, and has been for some time,
a difference of opinion in democratic
circles as to Mr. Wilson's silence on
the subject. A number of prominent
democrats have longed for word from
him. They are still longing. But the
longed for word in politics is usually
late. The contention of these men is
that a word from Mr.. Wilson would
clear the atmosphere, and enable the
preparations for the San Francisco
convention to be made more intelli-
gently and satisfactorily both as re-
spects platform and ticket.
On the other hand are democrats
who think the matter properly rests
with Mr.. Wilson; that he should decide
it. They can see no harm to anybody
or to the party from delay, and, for
their part, are willing to wait until
convention time for Mr.. Wilson's de-
cision.
The men of the patient variety are
rock ribbed Wilsonians. They are
willing to support him for a third
term. Indeed, they are hoping for the
opportunity. The news of his i'm
proved health is most welcome to them.
They 60 even further. If it should
fall out that Mr.. Wilson does not de-
sire another nomination, or lacks the
strength for another campaign, they
will accept his decision as to the can
didate. His choice will be their choice,
and his platform their platform. They
are for him and his program, first, last
and all the time.
Mr.. Wilson's intentions in this mat
ter are, so far as the public is advised,
locked in his own bosom. As Presi
dent he has had few confidanfs. His
kitchen cabinet, while it existed, con-
sisted of one member. But as there
has not been a meeting in months,
popular opinion is that the cabinet has
been dissolved. Col. House has not
been in Washington since his return
last fall from Europe.
Belief is general in both parties
that until his collapse Mr.. Wilson was
headed straight, with fixed determi-
nation, for another try at the presi-
dency. He had greatly enlarged the
scope Of his activities. He had been
enjoying every feature of his work.
But he worked too hard. He took ON
too much. As a result, he fell under
the burden; and while coming round
now he is yet far from his old form.
The Wilsonians are right in their
contention that Mr.. Wilson should be
permitted to make his announcement
in his own time and way. 1t is mat
ter Of importance to the party, and
he is incentestably the party's leader.
