It is wonderful for it is not extraordinary and

It may be, too, as you yourself
suggest in another part OF your
letter, that the mind grows with
the growth and aggregation OF
the brain cells. It has its own
period of infancy. It has to learn
to handle its tools. 1t has to &C.

would be still gratfied he to insist that the Dis
days be used agreed upon instead Of being turned

The present plan is to have Congressman ZGA acting
head Of the House District Committee present such bills
appear to have little opposition. This warning to the
District COMMITTEES to get together upon District legislation
have.
There few men Congress who have little else to do
but try to pick flaws in all legislation for the District Quite

passed the Senate without dissenting vote The adoption Of

BALL will work for its passage
earnestly hoped that the teachers salary bill introduced
by Congressman KELLER, will become law. This is
piece Of necessary and constructive legislation that is strongly
desired The Keller bill prepared the Board Of
on with the aid and cooperation Of the teachers council
the various teachers associations and the several federated
groups Of teachers It is without critic among the school
teachers and officers and harmonious support could
be accorded than is given this measure.
In framing the teachers salary bill the Board Of Education
guided by the salaries paid in other cities comparable
size with Washington One Of the most convincing arguments
for the passage Of this bill the obvious injustice being
done the teachers and officers in Washington through en-
adequate compensations.
The benefits Of the pending teachers salary BILL when
acted into law will promptly be reflected in better person

SAP AND SALT
By BERT MOSES

When both opportunity and
cash are available, virtue gets its
final test.
A learned man IL one who has
read much; q wise man IL one
who has thought much.
Our neighbors watch our morals
closer than we watch them our.
selves.
One token Of a liar Is his
anxiety to supply evidence in
proof Of what he says.
Those with nothing to do should
do it instantly, and thus cultivate
the fine habit of industry.
Women either love or hate; they
have no halfway stations.
While women hold the honor Of
supplying most Of our joys, don't
forget that they also supply most
Of our troubles.
Hex Heck says: "Jist as man
rips, so must his wife sew"

rance seems necessary to qualify
q writer to produce stuff that
the magazines will accept.
