JUNK PAYS TEACHERS PENSION

Saving paper has become regular part of a we'll balanced system of ed ucation for thrift in the St. Louis public schools, and the children are taught that great many things that heretofore were thrown away can be made use of and be of real value. The proceeds of this work are credited to the Teachers Benevolent Annuity association, an organization of teaeh- CTS formed for the purpose of aiding those who retire after long service and of relieving members temporarily in need.
 During the week of October r to p more than thirty five tons of old newspapers and magazines were coll lected by 100000 pupils in 1855 public schools. according to Stephen NJ. Wagner, chairman of the public school thrift committee. This amouns 1T the largest collected during any one week since the waste paper saving movement started in the schools sev- eral years ago, and represents value of $1,211.40 at present prices paid for

TESTS AIR FOR HUMIDITY

Sensations of heat or cold, as ex- perienced by normally healthy pc. son, are caused almost entirely by the condition of the surrounding atmo- sphere. If it is still, damp. and about 75 degrees or more in temperature. a feeling of disagreeable heat and op- pression results: while if of the same temperature but dry and in moderate reasons for this are that dry, moving air takes away bodily heat about as rapidly As it is generated, while damp. still air does not.
 Therefore in designing an instru- ment to determine whether atmo- spheric conditions are conducive to bodily comfort, other factors than temperature must be taken into ac- count. For this reason the ordinary dry bulb thermometer is unreliable and has been supplemented by an- other instrument of the so-called wet bulb type, in which the bulb is enclosed in a ia brio mesh bag which keeps it damp. To use, both bulbs are immersed in hot water until they register no degrees. They are then removed, and the time required for each to drop to atmospheric tempera- ture noted. The wet bulb will always cool more rapidly than the dry one. This difference in cooling rates serves to index the degree of comfort one should be experiencing, as it roughly indicates the moisture in the air and whether or not air is in motion.- Popular Mechanics.

George was in evening clothes, which did not surprise me bit, since he was to take Dot to the violin re- cital.

THE ONCE OVER
By H. '. PHILLIPS

out in knee length ones, frightening the natives and causing many an emotional citizen to rush down Main street crying: Look out for your horses! The elephants are comingi"
 And it was a reasonable mistake. No one who has seen a circus parade this year, watching the elephant with one eye and the feminine spectators with the other. could doubt that the elephants had it on the fair sex in matter of conformation from the knees down in many cases.
 The whole matter affords an inter- esting study for psychologists. Why, after all. should not a woman with. er-er-limbs lacking all delicacy of contour and all beauty of shape and design wish to keep it a dark secret Why should she, just to be in style. wear a skirt that would immediately let the whole word in on the fact that nature is, after all. far from wonder full in many cases. and in most cases actually malicious?
 Even Edison has to give that one up.
 "Do you think woman's place is in the homer a friend asked our old as- soeiate Ignatius Innbadd the other day as the pair stood on the street corner and watched the styles go by.
 Until they get sense enough to see that short skirts is only for them as can wear 'em. I think the place of most of 'em is not only in the home but in the darkest corner of it." de clared Ignatius with conviction.
 And" he added a minute later when I look around and see danes who could get a position in opposition to the Forepaugh fat lady any day toddling around in knee length gar ments I think a better placa is a de- tention campi"
 And Ignatius spake a. mouthful, as the saying goes.

THE RETURN TO LONG SKIRTS
The end of the short skirt is near.

The end of the short skirt is near.
 Near what? Near the waist line. stupid.
 But, take it from Paris, 1t is pres entity to be nearer the ground.
 Paris dressmakers and gown de- signers have decided. since they can't continue to make skirts any shorter and still maintain friendly relations with the police. that the time has ar ri<ed to decree a return to lonk skirts. Already French and English society tracks in skirts reaching almost to the ankles.
 Smart women everywhere may soon be following suit. A woman is as smart as she dresses, says the old adage. Which is why, during the short skirt era, so many of them have looked like mental delinquents.
 Of course, Paris realizes that there will be some opposition to return to long skirts, and has tempered its decree with ruling that young women of trim figures may continue to wear short models but that stout women must return to the long mod els at once.
 This is the best uItimatum that has come out of France since war days.
 American women who never should have been driven to short skirts ex- cept to pay election bets, but who have, nevertheless, followed the style of the past few years and toddled forth into the highways and by-ways looking like mannikins for the Fuller Construction company. as Nora Bayes puts it, may now be expected to uss little judgment.

ing the treasury blanket authority to

today by the senS:e finance COM
mittce. 1t carries a committee
amendment requiring that the fund

Secretary Mellon formally ad-
vised the senate finance committee
today in letter as to his views re-
garding the extent to which the
United States had been committed
under the Wilson administration on
dcfernent of payments of allied
war loans and interest.
Postpone Action 3 Years.
The government was committed,
he said, to postponement OF interest
payments for two or three years and
subsequent spreading out o: post
poned payments contingent upon
such foreign governments carrying
out with reasonable promptness,
after this government is ready to
proceed, a satisiactor funding OF ex-
isting short time obligations to this

so far as concerns the principal
debtor powers the letter said,

crued interest) over $9,000,000,000,
there is no intention or thought of
accepting in payment bonds other
than those OF the debtor country.
Authority now asked, however,
covers debts owing to Us by Czecho-
Slovakia, Greece, Rcumania, Russia,
Serbia, Poland. and a large number
of other countries"
Accept German Bonds.
Regarding acceptance of German
bonds, the secretary referred to cer-
tain negotiations at the Paris peace
conference where representatives OF
Great Britain. France and the United
States recommended the acceptance
Of German reparation<bonds in pay
ment of loans made by the three
to Belgium prior to No
vember, II, 1918. This agreement
has been before the senate since Feb
ruary p, 1921, and no action has
seen taken on it, he said.
Mr.. Mellon suggested that it might
De possible to provide in subsequent
negotiations for the payment OF the
deferred interest and the payment of
interest upon interest by increasing
interest rates of the bonds to be is
sued by the debtor country in substi-
ution for the securities now held.
This plan, he said, met with the ap-
2roval of the president and the in
,rease rate would probably facilitate
marketing the bonds.
