Teachers Higher
Pay Advocated
BY GOrham Head
Gorham. Me-, Aug. 15.-(Special.)

Gornam, Me-, Aug. l5.-(Specfal)- -
Principal w. Z. Russell of the
Gorham Normal school Is strongly
advocating higher pay for Maine
teachers in order to check the heavy
drain on the states best teaching
talent, which is constantly being
drawn to other states. Hundreds of
teachers are constantly leaving Maine
to accept positions all over the coun-
try. and very largely because of the
higher salaries offered.
Mr.. Russell believes that many
Maine communities should raise sal
aries in order to keep their best
teachers at home. In many instances
salaries paid in Maine compare fav-
orably with those in other states, but
In many places there is a chance for
Improvement 1t Is a serious blow
to have so many teachers who have
had special normal school training
and years of experience drawn away
from the Pine Tree State. Principal
Russell is in hearty sympathy with
better roads for Maine and all other
improvements but sounds q warning
against any possible neglecting of the
states educational interests.
Incidentally Mr.. Russell reports
that practically all the graduates in
last Junes class at Gorham already
have excellent positions for the COM
ing year. He says the demand. for
teachers who have had special nor
NAL school training is greater than
the supply.

Berlin, July 2S-(A. p. BY Mail)-
Germany's soil seems relatively free

Coast to Coast Air
Trip Possible By
Speedy Winds

chicago, Aug. l5-(By A. IA II
hour on-stop airplane flight from
the west coast to the east coast is
not an improbahility and there is
every reason to believe that this re-
f1arkable flight will be realized with
in a short time, according to Major
r. w. Schroeder. former holder of
altitude records, and one of the first
aviators to ascend to a height Of
more than $4,000 feet.
ITO negotiate the distance between
San Francisco and New York in this
short time, the aviator must ascend
to a height of more than 10000 feet
in order to get into what is called
the anti-trade Winds" Major Sch
roeder said in explaining his theory
of the flight. These winds blow
at a velocity in excess of 100 miles
an hour and with the aid of the plane
motor humming at a speed, say 100
miles an hour, the flight can be ac-
complished, providing that all con-
ditions are favorable"
Major Schroeder pointed out that
the higher a flyer goes the slower his
mental faculties function.
Experiments have been going on
for more than a year." he said, with
a compartment which is impregnable
to the admittance Of air through any
but an authorized channel. By at
taching this channel to the super
charge of an airplane engine, the air
in this compartment can be kept at
a level equal to that from which the
aviator started. In case Of any dis
organization of this system, an oxy-
gen tank has been placed in the COM
partment. The mechanical devices
on this tank start operating as soon
as the air in the compartment
reaches a certain low point. and in
this way adverse conditions within
are dissipated."
Major Schroeder, the aviator who
fell six miles and lived to tell about
1t, explained that the construction of
the compartment was Of very light
wood but that its durability has been
tested. The compartment has a tri-
thickness of glass, and is fairly COM
Portable within, he said.
1.-THE altitude a person can reach
now depends on human endurance
and not SO much upon the calibre of
the airplane," the aviator continued
"My altitude flight before l retired
from the army was not to see how
high l could fly but to discover what
plane could best be used for photo
graphic purposes. That was the
main thought when l first assembled
into the air.
During the flight ! was blown
considerably off my course and 1t
was then that thought of the posi-
bility of the west to east coast fight
with the aid Of the anti-trade winds,
which blow west to east. l think 1t
Is possible, and that it will not be
long before the country will be start
led with such an actual accomplish
ment."
