HUMOR AND PATHOS.
Dear Bill: Note this ad from
Washington paper:
LADY LEAVING CITY
must dispose Of all kinds Of,
wearing apparel; reasonable.
Where. oh! where can she be
going? Don't fail me. NJ. II. L.
II. and s. fans proverbially find
something to amuse them, but still
they are all big-hearted folks. The
ad above does have a humorous ap-
peal, yet there is pathos back OF Il.
Maybe it's some unhappy girl who
has lost her Government position
and must go back to her home.
She's financially strapped and the
sale of her best clothes is all that
promises sufficient money to take
her away from Washington. That's
a tragedy, even il she was of the
extravagant, foolish sort who spent
as fast as her pay check came in
and never laid a dollar aside for
the rainy" day that sometimes
comes to us all.

MORE PAY
ASKED FOR
TEACHERS
Senator Preparing Bill for In
creases, Assisted by Super
intendent Ballou.

Increase of salaries for Wash
'ington school teachers is provided
in a bill to be introduced by Sena-
tor Capper in the Senate in the
near future.
The measure is now being
framed by DR.. Abram Simon,
president of the Board of Edu-
cation, and Superintendent Ballou.
1t is expected that it will be ready
for presentation within the next
two weeks.
Poorly Paid Here.
Recent legislation on the subject Of
school teachers salaries was devoted
mainly to horizontal advances of pay
for teachers drawing the minimum
salaries I'm the lower grades. There
was no provision made for larger
JmaximumI salaries either in the ele-
mentary or the high schools. Superin-
,tendent Ballou declared that the max
limums will have to be advanced in
,order to remedy all the inequalities In
the present pay system.
"Out of the twenty-eight leading
cities in the United States, Washing.
ton stands twenty-fourth in rank with
Iregard to school teachers salaries"
declared Ballou. This takes no ac-
count Of the fact that living costs in
the District are probably as high II
mot higher than in any other city In
the country.
There Is no doubt whatever that the
Teaching force in the Washington pub
/ lie schools should be improved and
that new blood should be brought into
UT. The only way l know OF bringing
about this Improvement is to pay sal
Naries that will attract the right kind
of teachers"
ID. C.. Jobs Coveted.
Superintendent Ballou says that
teachers all over the country are anx.
(, ious to come to Washington because
they regard this city as the ideal city
of the country in which to live. They
are willing to accept small decreases
in pay in order to obtain the advan-
tages of living In Washington, but
they are utterly unable to sacrifice 20
to 40 per cent of the salaries they are
drawing elsewhere in order to come
, here.
When announcement was sent out
of a recent teachers examination in
Washington, Ballou added, more than
400 signified their intention Of taking
part in it. When they became ac-
quainted with the salary paid here,
however, there were only ninety-eight
who actually took the examination.
Senator Capper said today that the
Senate subcommittee investigating the
schools will call the District Comm,s-
sioners before 1t later in the week.
Municipal Architect A. H. Harris, also
will be heard. The committee hopes
in the meantime to arrange to have
| House subcommittee join with 1t IN
the hearings.

Commissioner of Agricul-

Out Warning
GETS COMPLAINT
OF ADDED WATER
Prosecution Will Follow
If the Practice Is Con-
tinued

The Vermont state department Of
agriculture is receiving reports from
its creamery inspectors that many
samples of milk taken from farmers
deliveries at plants and shipping sta
tions show evidence of added water
when tested with the lactometer. In
vestigation shows that some farmers
are putting chunks of ice into their
milk cans in order to cool the milk
quickly during this hot weather. While
the purpose may be commendable the
result is clear violation of state laws
to fhe adulteration of milk.
Commissioner Brigham has notified
the departments inspectors to pay
particular attention to the detection
of added water and several prosecu
tions are likely to follow unless this
practice is stopped. Cans of milk
should be cooled by setting them in
tanks of cold spring water or ice wa
ter during this hot weather, but never
by putting chunks of ice in the milk.
