Embassy inLondon
To Be Ready
!. Soon
RY LEAN ELTOT.

NVHE news that the American
- Ambassador to the Court Of
st. James and Mrs. Frank B.
Kellogg had been shopping for
q house" and had finally taken
Crewe House, set one to wonder
ing just what had happened to
the big mansion In Hyde Park
Gate which J. Pierpont Morgan
presented to Uncle Sam for q
London embassy and just why
Ambassador Kellogg should be
homeless, as Ambassador Harvey
was. However, inquiry develops
the fact that contracts for the
necessary remodeling Of the build
ing have actually been signed;
that work is about to begin, and
that, barring accidents, the EN-.
bassy will be ready for occupancy
within the next six months.
It seems an uncomfortable
time since the offer Of the Nor
gan house to the Government was
first made, but the delay in get
ting 1t ready for occupancy has
been in a measure unavoidable.
In the first place, there was a
long-drawn-out debate as to
whether or not the gift should be
accepted, but at. the beginning
Of President Harding's administra-
ton this was decided favorably.
Next came the business Of getting
an appropriation to cover the re-
modelling necessary If the build
ing was to be used as residence
by the American ambassador,
with the embassy offices on the
premises.
More recently delays have been
caused by the necessity for hav.
ing competitive bids submitted
and the desire to give Americans
q look-in on the work, as well
as. by the difficulty in making
certain highly desirable changes
in the front Of the house with
out running afoul Of the time
honored and exceedingly rigid
London building regulations.
Now, however, problems have
been solved, difficulties ironed
out and work is to begin. AS
/ understand it, the remodeling
Is in the hands Of Hastings and
an American firm which Is re-
modelling Devonshire House and
which therefore maintains an es-
Establishment in London.
The appropriation for the work
amounts to $150,0O0, to be ex-
pended for structural repairs:
furnishings, etc. And when the
work is completed Uncle Sam
will boast an embassy in Lon.
don which is commodious, ad-
vantageously located and in which
the American Ambassador may
maintain an establishment COM
mensurate with the dignity of
the Government which he repre-
eents.
-
nF course, even where the EN-.
" bassy is Government owned
and rent is eliminated from the
family budget, an ambassador can
not maintain a suitable establish.
ment, do the entertaining that is
expected Of him and, in short,
keep up his position in a foreign
capital for the ST, 500 which
Uncle Sam pays him. A private
fortune is therefore a necessary
adjunct to a man who aspires to
an ambassadorial post under the
Government Of the United States.
TO obviate this and still not to
raise salaries to the point Of
offering temptation to the mer.
cenary, the State Department ad-

NEED FIRE PROTECTION

The need for making every reas-
enable effort to prevent fires is self
evident, but unfortunately is often
overlooked. This is true Of any
home or manufacturing plant, but it
is particularly important as it ap-
plies to the places where inflamma-
BILE materials are present.
Fire prevention deserves very
serious consideration in every build
ing whether it be design, construc-
tion. operation of maintenance. FIX
haustive studies of fires that have
occurred in the past indicate means of
preventing similar fires in the fu-
ture. Practically every fire furnishes
lessons of fire prevention from
which all can profit.

RADIO TO AID SEA CABLE WORK
Mai. Gl. Geo. o. Spuer:er, former
chief signal officer of the United
States army, states that basic en-
ginseli-g principles of radio viii be
applied soon to ocean cable practice,
wilh astonishing developments. One
such experiment ha already been
made with marked progress.
"A universal automatic telegraph
+ransmitter, applicable to radio, to
land Lines and submarine cables, mas
been developed and tested over an
artificial laboratory cable.
There is no real social or eco
nomic conflict between ocean cable
and radio telegraphy The one is es-
sentially a point to point way ser
vice between individuals; the other,
at p---ent, at least, is essentially a
broaGcazting one way service Deepen,

own fed Of natural usefulness in the

each service in its proper sphere"

MANY TEACHERS ARE
FOUND IN RURAL SCHOOLS

OF the four thousand or more
teachers in Idaho, some 60 per cent
of them are in what properly may
{ be termed rural schools. that is, II
schools of from one to four rooms.
The compulsory. school law is en-
forced in rural schools Just as in
the city school. The required number
of months of school applies to the
rural as we'll as the city. The salaries
in the rural school are better per-
haps on an average than in the city.
There is less inducement to spend
money and a greater freedom from
supervision; in other words, the in
dividual has greater opportunity
in some respects for development in
the rural than he has IN the city
where the work is so thoroughly su-
pervised.
In the Lewiston normal this year
SO one-year people received training
in the rural centers, and 40 seniors
making a total of 1876 people, train
ed in the rural centers. Most Of the
seniors had schools before the nor
NAL closed and perhaps rs per cent
of the one year people. How many
others had schools are not known,
but the salaries paid are a strong
inducement to secure teachers and
for this reason it is safe to say
large percentage of normal rural
trained teachers have positions.
Taking at random some of the
positions held, the following show
ing is made:
l. One year at normal, with
training school experience, salary
Sis per month for nine months.
2. One year at normal with
training school experience, salary,
SIPS.
