PAY BILL
capper Foresees Adoption by
Body Without Opposition Be-
fore Adjournment Today

The District teachers salary bill
probably will be passed by the Sen
ate tonight.
Senator Capper. who is in charge
Of the measure, believes that it will
be adopted by the Senate without
opposition. The measure, however,
is far down on the calendar, and II
is possible that the bill will not be
reached before adjournment at IL
o'clock.
There are numerous other routine
District bills on the Senate calen-
dar and it is anticipated that most
OF them will be passed in the regu-
lar order. The Senate District Com
mittee does not expect to enact any
further local legislation OF import
ance before the close of the session.
1t is expected that the Senate will
hold a short executive session either
this afternoon or tomorrow to cen
firm the reappointment Of the pres
ent Rept Commission. The District
Committee reported favorably on
these nominations yesterday. The
appointments are: Richard Whaley,
Oliver p. Metzerott, William F..

BELIEF
Stafford Acted UnwiseIy Co
ing in Face Of Congress on
Emergency, View

Possibility that the temporary
injunction granted against the
District Rent Commission by JUS
tice Wendell P. Stafford of the
District Supreme Court, may en-
danger a bill introduced IN Con-
gress last week increasing mate
rally the salaries of all Federal
judges, doomed today.
Justice Stafford's order is vir-
tually reversal of the opinion Of
the House and Senate, which re-
Gently declared an emergency in
housing conditions to exist here.
The Congress backed up its opinion
by passing the Ball Rent Act for
another year.
Creates New Situation.
The salary bill, coming at about
the same time as Justice Stafford's
injunction, presents, If nothing else,
a very interesting angle to the prob
lem and creates a new situation.
Stafford practically declared in
granting the injunction that he did
not believe an emergency existed
here. At the same time he made
it clear he was not going against
the opinion of the United States
Supreme Court which had intimated
that there was no housing emcI.
gency in the District
The injunction of Stafford's came
just after Congress, after much dc.
Late and investigation, continued
the rent law until May, 1925.
See Blow At Pay Bill.
In some circles it was said that
Justice Stafford's injunction would
knock the bottom out of the argu.
ments that Federal judges located
in the city of Washington need pay
increases. such as are provided in
the bill of Congressman Graham Of
Illinois, introduced on May Is in
the House.
The bill provides:
That the salary of the chief jus.
tice Of the District Supreme Court
be increased from $4,000 to $13,500;
that salaries of the associate JUS
tees be boosted from $500 to 3d..
900.
That the salary Of the chief Jus.
tice Of the District Court of APP
peals be increased from $1,000 to
$15,500 and that salaries Of associate
justices be raised from $500 to
$4,000.
Material boosts in the salaries Of
the justices of the United States
Supreme Court, justices Of the
Court of Claims, Court of Customs
Appeals, circuit judges slso are
given in the measure.
There is a possibility that Con.
gress may take the position that
in the view of Justice Stafford's
decision there is no need for the
boost Of pay Of judges residing ir
the District Of Columbia.
The District Rent Commission
continues to operate AID as yet
no move has been made to tax.

Justice Stafford, except in the two
original cases.

G.. H. S. Athletics Go
To u. of N. H. Meet
Through Own Efforts

When citizens of Gardiner read of
the fine showing of the Orange and
Black track men at the interschol-
astics at the University of New
Hampshire Saturday, few realized
the efforts that the boys had to
make to get to Durham. Coach
O'Brien and the following men went
as representatives of Gardiner High:
Harold Dale, Ernest Morrill,, Earle
Macdonald, John Leighton, Merrill
Danforth. John Davidson, and with
the exception of Danforth every man
placed in the out-of state events.
The Athletic association could not
see it's way clear to appropriate any
money for the trip out Of the State,
and the boys went at their own ex-
pense. Several went with Coach
O'Brien, while the others started out
walking, and reached their destina-
ton by means of ktnd-hearted tour
lists.
Portland with a squad of 20 men
succeeded in beating out Coach
O'Brien's seven men, only by a third
of a point. "Deak" Dale smashed the
record in the broad jump, establish
ing a new record Of 2123 feet. In
view of these records, track fans are
wondering what the outcome would
have been If the team had been
sent. with allowance for fare and ex-
penses, the full quota making the
trip.

Kiwanians Hear
Fine Talk on Health
Ry DIR. E. p. Fish

DIR. Z. i. Fish gave a fine paper last
evening at the Waterville Kiwanis
Club, taking for his subject How to
Maintain Good Health" He declared
that although the country has an abun-
dance of law to enable one to procure
pure food, pure water, clean and health
home and schools, and legislation to
ban alcoholic drinks, the matter of
keeping in good health still remains a
purely personal problem.
at is not life to live, but to keep
WELL quoted the speaker from Mar
tial, the Roman philosopher, who ut
tered these words over 1000 years ago.
The doctor explained that the death
rate from tuberculosis had been re-
duced nearly one-half and that cancer
cannot be controlled until the public
comes to realize that this must be
taken care of before 1t becomes too
large and can be seen by the naked eye.
He also referred to the organic and
degenerative diseases which often
overtake- a man between the ages of
35 and SO years, or rather high blood
pressure which, he declared, could be
prevented in four-flfths of the cases.
He declared that although great
many know the fundamentals and con-
struction of his automobile, but not of
things a man can do to keep himself
physically fit, namely. go to the family
physician and dentist once a year for
thorough examinations; no not over
eat; eat the right kind Of foods, such
as vegetables, fruit and cereals and
good substitutes for meat; exercise
well every day and keep out of doors
as much as possible. especially II the
work, one does confines one to the inte-
rior.
DR.. Fish strongly recommended that
every man have a hobby, no matter
what, but something which does not
concern his business; and urged that
everyone get away from worrying, the
biggest hygienic requirement there is.
1.-THE Kiwanis meetings." concluded
the doctor, each week where we get to-
gether to eat, talk and sing--in short,
when we get together and play as we'll
as plan to help our fellow men-are
one of the best agencies to get mans
mind off his troubles that 1 know any
thing about. Keep young.
DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes poem,
Address to His Classmates of 1922
some 80 years after their graduation
from Harvard College, when they were
all at, or past, middle life, expressed
sentiment which was true then and Is
true now. He named 1t The Boys and
these are the closing lines:
Yes, were the boys-always playing
with tongue or with pen;
And have sometimes asked, Shall
We ever be men?"
Shall we always be youthful and
laughing and gay
TIL the last dear companion drops
smiling away?
Then here's to our boyhood, its gold
and its gray,
The stars of it's winter. the dews of
its May;
And when we have done with our life
lasting toys,
Dear Father, take care Of thy children,
the boys!
