For Equal Rights at Hearing Here
Tell Senators amendment Would Remoue Safe

The so-called equal rights amend
ment to the Constitution. proposed by
the National Woman's Party, was as
sailed today at hearing before the
Senate judiciary subcommittee, by
woman leaders of both the republican
and democratic parties, officials OF
eleven nationwide women's organi-
cations, woman Representatives of the
American Federation of Labor and
various ma ational trade unions.
The hearing was before a subcom-
mittee consisting of Senator Ernst
of Kentucky, chairman, and Senator's
Shortridge of California and Walsh of
Montana.
The opponents of the proposed
amendment said emphatically that If
adopted 1t would result in tearing
down the laws which have been rear

women in relation to hours of en-
ployment and also mothers pension
laws.

CITIZENS PROTEST
WASTE IN LIGHTING
Resolution Calls for Investi-
cation of Electricity In
staIIation in City Schools.

Following discussions which tended
to show waste and inefiiciency in in
stalling electricity in public schools
of the city, the District Of Columbia
Public School Association last night
unanimously adopted resolution
calling for an investigation of light
ing systems now established in GER
tain schools and to make a complete
study of the methods used to place
electric lights in classrooms. En-
bodied in the resolution was a re-
quest to have electric lights in
stalled in every school in the District
where electricity is available.
Give Instances of Waste.
Statements of members declared
more money is being spent in INSTALL
ing electricity in the schools than re-
quired. Mrs. w. T. Bannerman said
the estimated cost of wiring and
lighting a school was $1,000, but she
was charged only $500 for having
electrity installed in her house OF
fifteen rooms. Ira b. Nutter, repre-
sentativ to the association from: the
Rhode Island Avenue Citizens ASso-
citation, stated it had been estimated
$4,000 would be the cost of placing
electric lights in ten rooms. Mrs. Il.
r. kalmbach of the Langdon Parent
Teacher Association told the meeting
eight men consumed three days in
carrying an electric wire sixty feet
and through floor. which "a private
contractor estimated could have been
done in a few hours"
Capt. julius I. Peyser, president OF
the association, explained that no
specific charges were being made,
but he thought the whole system and
method of lighting the public schools
should be Investigated.
Investigation Is Urged.
Motions to investigate conditions
in the primary schools and to protest
against the extension of school hours
were referred to the committee on
education and methods. The asso-
citation voted to indorse the proposed
Schoo leXtension department of the
board of education.
Capt. Peyser said the teachers sal
ary bill now in Congress was not
the bill of the board of education.
The association indorsed the move
ment of the community centers of the
District to produce a historic pageant
in the spring.
The committee on educational meth
DDS and progress of the association
will meet in the Public Library Feb

IN GLASS;
VASES STILL
PUZZLE
But Experts Believe They
Have Discovered Method
Employed by venetians

Now and then one finds a
dainty Venetian glass vase or jug
with particles Of gold, silver or
copper flecks imbedded in the
glass, and the question as to how
this fashion of decoration is &C
complished often forms a subject
for discussion.
The explanation Of this kind Of
work, which is very exceptional,
has for long time engaged the
attention of the most competent
judges of the matter, and up to
the present time doubt still ex'
lists; for, according to some, the
gold was mixed with the yitreous
paste when it was still in the cru
chile, whilst according to others,
the gold dust was not Sprinkled
ever the glass until 1t had been
blown into shape.
In arriving at a satisfactory con-
clusion, the complete smoothness
of the vase or jug, or glass, should
be taken into consideration.
If it is admitted that the gold
was simply applied to the glass
whilst it was still malleable. there
must necessarily have resulted a
certain appreciable dnevenness. IL
not to the sight, at least to the
touch.
There are two ways Of producing
this result, which, although they
are different in execution, probably
produce the same result.
The one consists in sprinkling
gold dust over the lump of glass
the moment the shape is obtained,
| whilst the other is by rolling this
same lump Of glass on a marver
covered with gold dust.
The lump of glass being covered
| with gold by either Of these pro-
cesses, it is only to be explained by
what means gold may be rendered
| imperceptible to the touch.
This appears to consist solely in a
covering Of very fine transparent
glass, which, applied to the outside
OF the glass, encloses, so to speak
/ the gold dust between two castings.
This process is employed in the
manufacture of glass of several
colors, called double glass, the most
beautiful specimen of which is the
celebrated Portland Vase which is
composed of layers Of glass one
over the other.
The lower one is of a deep blue
color and the other of opaque
white, so that the figures stand
out in white on a deep blue back.
/ ground.
! If glass-maker wishes to make
a vase, for example, with alternate
white and red streaks, he takes on
the end of his blowing iron a small
quantity of white glass which he
rolls on the marver, after which he
dips it into a pot containing red
glass in a state of fusion.
This latter glass being thus finely
coated over the former, the work
man blows the object, and gives
whatever form he wishes to it. TIC

Steward Replies to Presidents
Address On Cut In Cost
of Living

That the salaries of government
employees have not kept pace with
the increased cost of living is
asserted In letter sent by Luther
c. Steward, president of the Ma
tional Federation Of Federal EN-.
ployes, to President Coolidge.
Referring to President Coolidge's
statements in his Labor Day adj
dress that the cost of living was
now only 50 per cent more than
it was in 1918, Mr.. Steward de-
clared that the salaries of govern
ment workers had risen not more
than 25 per cent in the same
period.
Improved working conditions OF
workers in general certainly should
be reflected in improved conditions
Of civilian Federal employees" says
Mr.. Stewards letter. We urge
upon you to recommend to Con
gress at it's next regular session
the immediate taking of such legis
lative steps as may be necessary
to adjust the compensation and
working conditions of the low paid
civilian Federal employees in ac'
cordance with recognized standards
and the existing cost OF living.
