The Chicago Teachers Federation
replied to Superintendent McAndrew's
demand for reorganization of teach
ers' councils to be composed Of repre-
sentatives of teachers, principals and
the superintendent with a motion at
their last meeting to take bill to the
legislature and thus provide for teach
ers' councils by statute law.

Miss Margaret Haley said in speaking
about the superintendent last recon-
mendation. Whatever they do at
their meetings is changed over night
anyway. Besides the teachers be-
lieve they are entitled to have their
right to elaboration just as the
superintendent has his"
The bill to be drafted for presenta-
ton to the legislature, Miss Haley
added, will provide for teachers coun-
ellis under the principles laid down by
Ella Flagg Young, former superin-
tendent Of schools.
The new plan for marking teachers
examination papers was severely
criticized by the teachers. Miss Haley
reported that the board had provided
for a conference with representatives
from the teachers federation, the
board Of education and the superin-
tendent but that no date has been set
for the conference.
The teachers voted a protest against
any change in the levels Of salaries
and against abolition of bonuses now
paid eighth grade teachers and teach
ers of special subjects. Both Of these
matters are under consideration by
the board at present.

COAL DRIVERS

Get so Per Cent Out of

ney Grove Saturday, OF only sixty
cents a day out of their original de-
mand upon the Chicago Coal Mer.
chants Association, Of $500 per day,
was the opinion of some coal drivers
interviewed yesterday.
The drivers walked out on January
l, and went back to work when their
officials, as usual, after modifying the
demands by cutting the $500 a day
increase down to $1.OO, finally agreed
to let even that demand be "arbitrat-
ed" by the labor-hating prosecuting
attorney Of Cook county, Robert e.
Grove.
Great dissatisfaction may result in
the drivers demanding a new deal
from their officials, especially T. J.
Lynch, who was so servile to Grove
that he not only left the case in
Groves hands and promised that the
drivers would abide by Groves deci-
sion, but actually thanked Grove for
refusing the drivers demand on wag-
es, giving them only six cents an
hour raise and fatty turning down all
the other demands.
The drivers still are working a ten
hour day, which is generally acknowl.
edged to be no better hours than II
there was no union. Tim Lynch made
no effort to get an eight-hour day. Re-
sides, in the course of negotiations,
the officials surrendered even the
mems demands that the unloading
and carrying in of coal be given to
helpers.
The men have been extremely rest
less while awaiting Groves cheating
award, and the discomfort. apparent
fly, is not going to be soothed any by
the results.

MARYLAND RURAL FOLKS
OUTLINE THE CITY PEOPLE
Statistics Show That Country
Residents of State Live Lon
ger Than City Dwellers

Rural residents of Maryland are
longer lived than their city brothers,
according to the Sears-Roebuck Agri-
cultural Foundation. There are fully
8 per cent more deaths per hundred
thousand population in the larger
places than in places having less than
10000 people.
Analysis of mortality statistics for
Maryland brings to light some in
teresting facts concerning the health
Of both the city man and the small
town resident, says the Foundation.
There are almost four times the num-
Der of deaths from appendicitis in
the cities than occur in the rural dis
tricts. Diphtheria is not as fatal in
the outlying sections as it is in the
crowded centers, and neither cancer
nor diabetes are as deadly in the open
spaces as they are to residents Of
the cities. Deaths from heart disease
are much more common in the cities,
and pneumonia does not take its toll
in the rural districts to the same eX-
tent as in the cities.
Death by suicide is a much more
frequent occurrence in the city than
in the smaller places, and the same
is found to hold true for homicide,
the Foundation reports. On the one
hand, typhoid is found to take its
heaviest toll in the more isolated
regions, perhaps because of lack Of
hygienic conditions and the difficulty
of ready medical aid. Influenza, too,
is a greater menace in the country
than in the city, and strangely
enough, the tuberculosis rate is much
higher in the smaller places than in
the larger.
The lower death rate of the rural
sections of the State as compared to
the cities is no doubt due in large
measure to the more normal, natural
life that the rural resident leads as
compared to the man in the large
cities, states the Foundation. And
it is especially remarkable in that
only three per cent of the country's
rural residents are estimated to OBJ
serve the fundamentals of health in
the disposal of their sewage and the
safeguarding of their drinking water
supply. AS rural health work is ex-
banded, big change may be looked
for in the prevention of premature
death and human illness as we'll as
promotion of public health and eco
nomic savings.

MISS MAUDE DTRST.

Miss Maude burst, daughter of Mr..

and had gone but a short distance
when Miss burst became very i'll. DR..
N. R. Davis, of Grantsville, was sum-

dead. She was aged SO years. Besides
her parents and one sister she is sur
vived by two brothers, Lee and Floyd.
The funeral was held Tuesday after

ed church at New Germany. Inter-
ment was made in the churchyard.
