NO HIKE IN TEACHERS PAY
Instructors in City Schools VIII Re-
ceive Same Wages Next Term.

The salaries of teachers in the To-
pel<a public schools will be ractically
the same next term as during the past
year, according to A. J. Stout, super
intendent of schools.
There may be no necessity now for
the increasing of the staff of ward
school teachers and it is not probable
that the new Boswell street Junior
high school building will be completed
by September 1. The contractors are
about six weeks behind with their
work on account of unsettled weather
conditions. II the building is not COM
pleted by September I. the schools
in the southwest part of the city will
have to be content with the crowded
conditions and a number of enlarge
ments in courses will have to be post
poned-
The committee of teachers are now
revising the teachers contracts and
will make recommendations for few
changes in the near future! q One of
the recommendations presented to SUI,
perintendent Stout follows:
THAT each teacher be granted ten
days sick leave each year. cumulative
to thirty days. on full salary, and sal
airy minus the substitutes salary for
twenty additional days or until leave
of absence requested by the teacher on
account of prolonged illness be
granted, the teacher on leave to be re-

WANT A DENTAL CLINIC
Topeka Dentists to Attend Next Board
of Education Meeting

The members of the Topeka Dental
association are planning to attend the
next meeting of the city board of edu-
cation, Monday, May 1, to present the
question of establishing a permanent
dental clinic in the city schools.
Several years ago a clinic of similar
nature was established in the schools
and came to an end in an unSatisfac-
tory manner. The students were ex-
amined free of charge and the dem
lists were paid for their work by the
board of education. Three years ago
a state law requiring dental examina-
tions in the schools was passed. There
after the dentists charged rates which
the board of education considered I'M
reasonable and the clinic was discon-
tinued.
The local dentists recently COM
pleted the dental examination in the
public schools at a minimum charge.
The clinic, if established, will be for
children whose parents are unable to
pay for dental work or for children
who need the work done and whose
parents will not take care. of them.
A similar clinic to care for the eyes,
ears. nose and throat is in operation
in the schools. The local physicians
cooperate in operating it. Many chill
dren are examined and treated. II

A CHANCE is DUE
Auto Industry To Be Case of
81 Survival of Fittest.
Increased Demand for Cars
Now, Says P. f. Drury.

The automobile industry is in for a
change in the next five years." P. F.
Drury of st. Louis. assistant general
manager OF the National Automobile
Dealers association, declared in To-
peka today.
s.It's going to be case of the sur
vivaI OF the fittest. We now know of
17s manufacturers producing passen-
ger cars There won't be that many
five years from now. The manufac-
turers and dealers who work with the
object OF giving the public the best in
service. viii survive. and have all the
business. The others won't be making
cars"
w. H. lines. president OF the To-
peka branch of the National Automo-
bile Dealers association. asserted that
s5 per cent of the cars built in the
United States at the present time are
being built by twelve factories.
Big Demand for Autos.
There is an increased demand for
automobiles making itself felt at the
present time" Drury said today
1T is due to a general betterment
OF business conditions Farm prod
ucts-this is true especially in Iowa,
and is reflected in kansas-are bring
ing better prices. and there is a totally
-diEferent feeling mong the farmers
az result.
81 The building trades. in which there
has been a huge revival in the past
few weeks, are also taking a lead in
the return to normal conditions OF ali
business and industries. The better
condition OF the building trades is re-
Gected right back thru the steel mills
ard TO every branch of the entire in
.dustry.
'sThe increased demand for automo-
biles is resulting in a scarcity which Is
now being felt and which will become
more acute. If I were buying a motor
car I'd buy it within the next two or
three months.
Prices 10 Increase.
There is a reaction, upwards. of
prices on the schedule too. This
will be the result of the increased de-
mand and the scarcity of cars. The
automobile industry was the last one
TO become unstable in the recent
slump, and is the first to grow stable
again. It is. believe, the only indus
try which is now selling its product
at less than pre-war prices"
Automobile factories. making stand
ard cars. are up to their normal pros
duction rate at the present time,
Drury says. But he believes they
will not be able to meet the increas-
ing demand for cars, which reaches
and the scarcity will result. Il do not
believe that they will increase their
production programs beyond normal
he said.
Drury declined to express an opin-
ion as to how soon the upward trend
of prices which he anticipates, will
make itself felt
