Equalizationof
School Terms
(By Maxwell Gorman)

Raleigh, May 6.-The 100000 fund
set aside by the State for equiliza-
tion of the school terms in North
Carolina is but Is per cent larger than
it was last year, and the counties
which participated in this fund will
not be able to get more than Is per
cent over what was secured from this
source last year. Consequently any
drastic reduction in tax values will
get the school authorities in trouble
with the six months school law unless
the tax rate is increased somewhat in
to the reduction of values.
No county can participate in this
equalization fund until it has levied
at least 80 cents on the hundred for
school purposes and finds this not
sufficient to run the schools of the
county for six months term. The
length Of the school term is fixed by
the Constitution of the State ana
penalty is provided for the county of
ficials who fail to make provision for
this length of school term.
The countries which make drastic
reductions in this values and do not
have sufficient money to run the
schools six months cannot make up
the deficit out of the State fund, For
there is not a sufficient amour. OF
money set aside to take are of all of
the deficits that may be created by a
general reduction Of tax values so Tar
below what they were last year.
| DR.. E. c. Brooks has figured it out
that the average county which paid
its way last year will be in position
to do the same thing this year. Those
counties which did draw from other
communities in the State for the pur-
pose of running it's school six months
can get about Is per cent more money
from that fund this year. County su
perintendents and school boards can
figure on this and no more. DR.
Brooks is sending out letter calling
attention to this condition andsuggest
ing that care be exercised in work
ing out the school tax for the coming
year,

Former Russian
Officers Serve as
Domestic Servants
(By Associated Press)

Athens, May 6.-Russian officers
formerly of General Wrangel's army,
who were brought to Greee when the
Crimea was evacuated and who have
found itzSimp possible to secure other,
employment, have turned their nand
to domestic and household pursuits.
Recent one of them was seen on
the stree-s ) Of Athens wheeling a baby
carriage. He was a handsome CossacK
colonel and his sturdy build, martial
air and fine features made him a con-
spicuous figure. His charge, a rosy
checked baby belonging to a wealthy
Athenian family, took evident delight
in It's stalwart, good d-nasured nurse,
who showed the youngster as much
care and affection as the moN devot-
ed mother.
The servant problem does not exist
in Athens. At least the Greek house
keeper has no such difficulties in this
respect as her sister in America, for
she an always fill the places Of maids,
cooks and kitchen hands with former
Russian soldiers and officers, OF
whom there are thousands in Greece.
F! These ex-military men are willing
to take up the most humble calling If
! it will bring them bread and shelter.
Hundreds Of them are now acting as
walters, buffers or cooks in Greek
households and restaurants.

CONTRACT FOR STREET PAVING
LET To R, 6. LASS|TER 3 C0..
Of RALEIGH, LOWEST BIDDERS

After session lasting several
hours yesterday, the Board of Commits
sioners, after careful consideration Of
a number of bids on street paving let
the contract to r. e. Lassiter & Co.,
of Raleigh, N. c., on an estimated bid
of $1S7, $4,000, which was $2O,82O. 90
lower than the next lowest bid for
the same type work. The highest bid
was for 1927, ,136oo, the difference
between the highest and lowest bids
being $50, $4,000.
The bid was let and accepted sub
ject to the sale Of the bonds, bids
for which will be opened the second
time on May II, and it is confidently
expected that a sale Of the bonds
will be consummated at that time.
The bonds were advertised the second
time owing to an error in the munici-
pal finance act under which they
were to be issued.
Mr.. Lassiter was asked when it
would be possible for him to com
plete the work. He stated that he
had several thoroughly organized
forces which he could put right on the
work, and that he would expect to
have it completed by September first

CONSIDER COVENANT
FOR REGIONAL
CONFERENCE OFF LEAGUE
{By Associated Tross)

Geneva, May 6.-Czechoslovakia' 8
proposed amendment to Article 81 Of
tions, under which the League, would
be permitted to call regional confer
ences with view better to maintain
world peace, will come up for consid
Grafton when the full Amendments
Committee of the League reconvenes
in May.
The subcommittee considering pro-
posed amendments has just received
from the Czechoslovakian representa-
tive an explanation of that govern
ment s plan.
In the view of Czechslovakia, un-
der the present Article 81 the League
has been able to move toward the
preservation of peace only by draw
ing up universal conventions on gene
raj principles and for restricted OBJ
| jects, or to intervene only after dis
putes have actually arisen.
The Czechoslovakians regard it as
essential that the League be given
lpower to promote regional agreements
lpermitting groups Of states to bring
about better international understand
i ing:.
| The effect of this, in the belief Of
some League experts, would be to m
crease the Importance Of the smaller
states, particularly, the offshoots from
the old Austro- Hungarian Empire, in
settling quarrels in Eastern Europe.
Under the universal system in force
slovakian government says, the more
fcomplex questions that arise between
nations are necessarily avoided, ano
the most acute difficulties-local IL
aracter-affecting only a certain
number of countries are not in shape
to be handled by the League.
Regional understandings, the
official announcement regarding the
echoslovakian proposal, says, COZ
the formation of groups aiming a
fostering a closer and more real co
operation between countries facing
common problems are declared to D.
essential to the preservation Of peac
but should be arrived at only witt
the assured support Of the League an'
in accordance with its principles.
