OF all the desks we have seen we
like this one best. 1t is so graceful.
so delicately designed and yet sturdy,
and so eminently suitable for the liv-
ing room which sounds the keynote of
elegant simplicity.
Added to these sterling virtues is it's
capacity for storing away letters, re.
ceipts, notebooks and all the sundry
appurtenances to a writing desk.
And this type Of desk does not over
power the living room which is simply
furnished. Some desks simply loom
over you, constant and dreadful re.
minders of the letters you ought to be
writing. This one, however. is oblig
ing enough to look like a library table
when you are not in the letter-writing
mood. If it is skillfully placed the
lamp which serves to illuminate 1t
may also illumine an easy chair.

A little easing of prices in the pork
market interested buyers today. The
demand for fresh pork at this season
is not particularly heavy, according
TO dealers, but the smoked meat is in
demand because of the immense guam
titles of green vegetables being re-
ceived.
Choice beef is ~ good demand, but
high prices make the market slow.
Because of the high prices, it is
stated, buyers are holding off in an
effort to beat down the market. Veal

! FOR ALL TEACHERS
YaIe'S President Warns
Against Evil Days
for Education.
Bv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, April 4-The
public must give prompt and earnest
attention TO the matter of adequate
salaries for teachers in universities. 4
higher education in America is not TO
fall on evil days, asserts President
James Rowland Angel of Yale Uni
versity in his annual report, made
public yesterday. The problem is ma
1ional, says President Angel, and
|'stares every university in the face.
Yale has been unwilling to accept
The responsibility for indefinite eXpan-
sion and has committed herself to try
ing ito give a limited number of stu
dents the best educational opportunity
she can devise" says the report.
Part-Time Plan Cited.
''The present situation finds most
college teachers 'part-time' men,
President Angel asserts. by which
mean to say that, unless they or
their wives have private means, prac-
tically all are obliged to resort to out
side methods of money earning, in
order merely to keep out of debt.
1.-The public must clearly understand
that it cannot secure flrst-class men
TO teach the younger generation, or to
carry forward the boundaries of
fcient resources to permit men to live
in reasonable comfort, with dignity
and with substantial freedom from
acute and incessant financial anxiety.
Student Pay Fraction of Cost.
"The fraction of cost paid by the
student beneficiary must be increased.
1t now represents from a third to
half of the cost of the Yale under
4f. - -Ay,
ratio in other institutions.
1t is often urged that the student
should be charged as nearly as pos
sible what his education costs, and
there seems to be no good reason why
the student who can afford it should
not so pay But at Yale we are
wholly unwilling to enter upon the
