STAMFORD

President Frederick G. Taylor of the Board of Education sizes up the school teacher salary increase mat tsr in this manner: If three per cent of the entire budget is too much to obtain good service, why Stratforei and the Stratford schools will have to get along .on bad service. Ihat aI,oI1t the size of it. At that dhere are a lot of people Tn Stratfor who would rather have illiteracy run ra1n- pant than spend few dollars year. This same feeling from these same e people extends to other branches or the town government. Economy IS alright, but there is a vast difference between thrift and being just plain every day hard boiled
 On the stand taken in the school teacher matter the council will find themselves about as popular as was the smallpox in Bethel
 Stratford has been following the Bridgeport system. regarding teach CTS in accordance with time in ser vice, though, needless to say, the schedule has ben on a smaller scale To make a teaching school looking any more attractive should be a good aim To make it otherwise looks like the time-worn system of penny wise, pound foolish
 Of course, some teachers may teach a few years and then marry. It is to be hoped. they all marry some time or other Just because they might want to take advantage of leap wear some time and go and get mar ried should not have anythm1ng to do with getting what is coming to them while they are teaching. Just be- cause some people don't want to get married, is no sign the council should try to control the marriage market. The council will have to step lively to control the council
 The only thing startling about the action of the counc:i. in view of past performances, Is the fact that the stand taken on the matter, was unan- 6mous. Oh we'll Stratford was set tied in 1889 anyhow. Stratford IS settled in its ways yet. Along with fine attitude taken on other matters it is to be taken that the sort Of trol-> dey service given Stratford ought to be perfectly satisfactory

 Shanghai, April 12 - Shanghai needs a number one top side heaven pigeon" American beauty parlor.
 There is a French parlor here and a Russian attempt. But what would the American women in Shanghai and the tourists passing through give for a 1922 variety of a "hOme-side- shop where one could get violet rays and messages an face packs and eyebrow plucking sessions, and per manent waves and real honeSt-to- goodness manicures? Nobody knOwsi
 The two beauty parlors are run by men and cater especiallyto the French and Russian women, so that it is very difficult for the American women to receive attention unless the appointment is made several days in advance.
 And very few of the late "Foun- tain of Youth" discoveries have made their way to Shanghai, where, by the way. they are needed badly, because the climate has a way of fading the beauty of the foreign" women.
 Travelling "Amahs.''
 Besides the beauty parlors- give only shampoOs, plain facials and crude manicures-are the little trav- cling "manicure amahs."
 Any number of Chinese women, trained by their "missies,'' other amahs or in America, where they ac- companied a family returning to the States "on leave" as baby amah and who learned the secrets of the

They can pro- cure the advice of physicians, and in many of the larger cities they will find nursing organizations to keep them constantly advised.
 Many women. however, who realize the need for proper care have not the means of procuring it. This in wolves the second phase of the cam paign of education upon which the association is embarking. It must teach the mother just what steps she is to take in order to make the arrival of the new baby safe for herself and for the child. With this end in view now preparing a, series of educational pamphlets. More than a million of these will be distributed throughout the country for the benefit of expect ant mothers.
 As a sort of laboratory for the study of motherhood a. square mile on the crowded upper East Side of New York City has been secured, where a, maternity medical and nurs- is estimated that this year 4,000 babies will be born in this section. and an effort will be made to reach every one of the mothers as soon as she realizes that a baby is to be born.
