TRAVEL UNUSUALLY
HEAVY IN ASHLAND
DURING WINTER

In. spite OF the unusual amount Of
rain in western Oregon and other
coast states this winter, and high pas
senger train rates tourist travel has
been exceptionally good. Especially
is this observed in Ashland, where
the hotel managers state. business
has been exceedingly good all win
ter. According to Manager \. Aus
tin Chisholm. of the Hotel Austin,
that hotel has had the largest winter
business in the history of the house.
Many automobile tourists have
come through all winter and have
stopped at the local hotels, as the
rainy season has precluded camping,
Up until the past week cars were
able to come through from CalifOr,
mia with no trouble at all. The heavy
snow that struck Northern Califor-
mia last week shut off travel from
the south during the past week, and
within the past two or three days
snow has become so deep on the Pa
cific highway and continues 20 fall
in such quantities that the state has
ceased the attempt to keep the road
over the mountain to the state lrs
open. As automobiles cannot ge.
along any farther through the noun
tains of Northern California, II is
thought to be needless expense to
attempt to keep the road on this side
plowed out as long as snow continues
to fall.
From the north, however, cars con
Lintie to come into Ashland every day.
While some sections, especially that
stretch over Smith hill are conslG-
cred quite bad, still cars go over
them right along. Teams are sta
ationed at points on the hills north
where the roads are bad. and assist
in hauling cars to the top.
Automobiles are continually com
ing in from Crescent City. and news
from that section states the stage
Is running between. that point and
Grants Pass every day This is the
first winter within the history OF au-
.omobile travel when cars could go
he entire length Of the coast cOun-
Try undisturbed. rs they nave done

GAINS
SHIPS SINCE
THE LATE WAR

iOnlteu Press COrfeSpOnuent)
ROME (By MaiD Since 1914,
Italy has passed from eighth place
in the matter OF mercantile Murine
to fifth.
She now takes rank after England,
the United States, japan and France.
The remarkable progress which Italy
has thus made in the matter of re.
establishing herself after the war is
taken as indicative of the General re-.
covery that may be expected along
every line as soon as Ita'y's internal
conditions become a little more stab
lzed
The showing in the building up of
her Mercantile marine. after her
heavy ship losses during the war, is
all the more remarkable in that the
greater part of it has been done dur
ing the year extending from June,
l9lS TO June, l52O.
In fact this year was marked by a
very heavy increase in mercantile
tonnage of all the great powers. rhe
war; however, has made some very
marked changes in. the relative stand
ing of the various great nations in
this respect
According to statistics Just com
pleted, England, which before the war
held il.6 per cent of the world 5 ton
mage, now only has 1876 per cent. al
though she still retains her position
of being the nation with the greatest
tonnage at her disposition
On the other hand, Norway, which
occupied fourth place before the war,
is now in the seventh place, while
Japan, which was sixth, Is now third
The United States has naturally
made the greatest showing in mer-
camille tonnage. In 1914 she pos
sessed only A. per cent of the world 5
tonnage, but today "a per cent
Altogether six countries have un-
dergone decrease in tonnage since
1914, these being England, Germany,
Austria Hungary, Greece, Sweden
and Denmark, their total decrease be-
ing 6.943,0O0 tons. Five other coun-
tries, howeyer-France Holland, It.
ally, Spain, and Norway-have made
an increase of 100000 tens since
1914, so that EurOpe's net decrease
in tonnage at the present time is only
4 I4,S73,000 tons.

SCHOOL CRISIS STILL
ACUTE, SAYS CLAYTON

WASHINGTON Feb. Public
school teachers of the United State;
should receive at least $500, ,0O0,-
600 in salaries this year, p, r. ClaX-
ton. commissioner OF education said
here Last year teachers drew II tot
al of approximately $70O,OO0,O0O
This is equal to half what is spent
annually for Cigarettes said ClaX-
ton.
Salaries OF elementary school teach
ers now are about 80 per cent high
er than four years ago, according to
Claxtons reports, showing that the
campaign to get them more pay has
been partially successful. High
school principals now are paid an
average of is per cent more than be-
fore the war. the records show.
Wage cutting throughout the coun
try and unemployment are factors
which are contributing some benefit
to the educational system.
Many teachers who left the schools
to gain higher wages in industry now
are beginning to drift back" said
ClaXton. AS a rule, however, such
persons are not the type of individual
whose efforts are most beneficial TO
the educational system. Persons who
skip from one profession to anothrI
for slight increases in compensation
make only fair teachers.
"The crisis OF the education sys-
TEN is far from over. Good teachers
still are nearly as scarce as during
the war. Few persons are training
for teaching work because of the
low salaries still paid. In some
schools elementary grade teachers
now are receiving only 500 a year.
4 good stenOgrapher now can earn
twice this amount.
Formerly the teaching profession
attracted the best element OF the
population. Men and women Of the /
finest culture and education were
attracted to II. The men often went
into il to earn money TO train them
selves for other work in the profes
sions and public life. President
elect Harding was ,one of these. I
Thus for a short time, at least, the |
nation obtained the services Of men |
and women who later in life went
into the professions like medicine and !
the law and into public life.
when the war came on and sal
aries and wages In most other pro
fessiOns were boosted, it became inn /
possible for the men and women to |
go into teaching to earn money while |
training themselves for larger posi- I
tions Their training cost them more
and they had TO go into industrial ,
positions to earn the additional mon
nv needed.
This is a condition that never will |
return. The schools from now on
must pay salaries sufficient to at
.ract people who will make teaching /
heir life work"
