age of teachers, which last year forced the
closing OF many schools throughout the
country, is past. according to a report
from the bureau of education in Washing
ton Many teachers who left the schools
are returning to resume their former
work. The report gives lack of employ

change.

ers' registration bureau at the state house,
says that the supply of teachers in Massa-
chusetts as evidenced by figures from his
bureau shows an influx. of many inexpe-
rienced but colIege-trained applicants, and
at present it is as difficult to secure grade

SICK MUST
HAVE KICK
Kramer Warns Druggists Who
Dilute Prescription Whiskey
May Lose Permits.

Prohibition Commissioner Kramer
today announced that the Govern
ment will weed out of the whiskey
trade druggists who profteer upon
the sick by selling impure or diluted
liquors.
CLAsSED AS RECTIFIERs.
Commissioner Kramer held that
such druggists are rectifiers within
the meaning of the law, and by tam
bond, he says, they become Violators
and liable to have their permits re-
Noked
Kramer said that it will be neces-
sary for the public and physicians
particularly to watch closely the
whiskey sold to patients upon pre-
scription.
IF there Is any suspicion that whis-
key sold by druggist is not up to
the standard. through possibly the ad-
dition of water, coloring matter, or
ethyl alcohol. the matter should be
brought to the attention of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau" Kramer said
"Our chemists are prepared to make
an analysis of any sample submitted.
Kramer received complaints that
many druggists, in an effort to double
their profits, are selling stun which
Is only one-half or one-third whiskey.
The number of retail druggists
authorized to withdraw and sell
whiskey Is being steadily increased,
through the more liberal policy of
the bureau, recently made effective.
= Kramer said competition should lower
present prices charged for medical
whiskey Druggists should be able
to retail whiskey at 81 a pint, and
thereby make a profit of 100 per cent,
the commissioner said.

Umpires ofScience Rule
Baly Curve Breaks
Wrong
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May %.
-Baly's curve is inadequate.
To the layman this may suggest
a ball game, but to chemists the
news is likely to prove somewhat
startling. 1t is vouched for by the
Harvard engineering school.
Baly, not a baseball pitcher, but
an English physicist, twenty years
ago measured the temperatures at
which various mixtures Of oxygen
and nitrogen begin to iquefy and
the extent to which the LIQUID
formed is richer in oxygen than
was the original gaseous mixture.
This measurement, known as
Baly's curve, has been accepted
as a statement of fundamental law.
Prof. Harvey N. Davis, of the en-
gineering school, announced today
that recent experiments had re-
suited in the discovery that the
curve is wrong.

Inability OF the railroads OF the

ly to meet depressed business condi-
tions is the chief cause of the pres
ent situation OF the Nations steam
lines, Howard Elliott, president of the
board of directors of the Northern
Pacific Railway Company. testified to-
day before the, Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee Investigating the
railroad problem.
1T is self-evident," Elliott said,
that the railroad, manufacturing
transportation, cannot, on. a falling
business, long continue to be a
solvent enterprise, II 1t is not able,
as other manufacturers do, to have
some control of its income and outgo
and pay wages on the same basis as
may be paid by other employees in
similar territory"
Elliott declared that IL was too early
to Judge the value of the transporta-
tion act OF 1920, and said that IL was
not intended as a "cure-all for world
wide depression"
THE transportation act" he said,
"and the principles and rule contained
therein are not responsible for the
present unfortunate disappearance of
railroad earnings. Congress. the pub
lie. the railroads. and the labor or
ganizations should do all they can to
help those upon whom the great
responsibility is imposed of admins
