There are a few questions I
should like to present to the mem
bers of the Board of School Com
missionerS through The Times.
since, in its issue Of April 10, a very
complete list of the older teachers,
whom the board is so DESTROYS 10 re-
tire. was made public.
First, I should like to know why
riding to work in a taxi is an indi-
cation of great unftness and dis
ability, any more than going to work
in ones own car. Is riding in a taxi
an unfailing indication that one has
to be helped into ones building and
room?
Second, Are a lot Of our teachers
walking with canes? If so. why dc
we not see theme The writer knows
of one such, and she is a young
woman who had her foot badly in
jured in a storm at sea. being
thrown from her berth. Another
very excellent teacher is lame
woman and uses a crutch. I fail to
see it as any indication that the
teaching ability Of either is inferior.
We. have in times past had some
very excellent lame people teaching
and doing it in an Al way. 1 had
two such myself and they were two
of my best teachers.
Another thing I should like to
know is whether members of the
board ever have thought. when rid
ing in their own cars to their meet
ingS, that it was an indication of
their unhtness for the jobs?
Also. I should like to know if a
teacher shows greater fitness for her
work by trying to get to her school
by riding on street cars, which do
not take her within more than three
blocks Of her building and taking
her chances of being made i'll by
pouring rains and chilling blasts,
| hoohug it to her school from the
street car line.
Did it ever occur to the wonder
full minds of our commissioners that
there are people who Go not care to
own cars and have the expense and
burden of taking care Of them add
ed to the already many cares and
expenses? There are such.
What about high school kids who
must have a car to haul" them to
and from school? Are they feeble
minded?
And last. but not least. why
should the age, length of service,
etc. of teachers, who should not be
retired until five years from now,
be published along with those who
nov ere lawfully subjects for retire
ment?
This whole matter has been done
in the most brutal, ignorant manner
and the writer has heard many ex-
pressions of disgust with it, not only
from those affected, but from
others. "a
truss you will give this the same
publicity you gave the report of the
boards action.

Editor Times:
The writer is really disappointed
in the attendance at the local A. A.
ball park so far this season.
Local fandom had been so disap-
pointed and disguised with the
former ownership that I was posi-
tive that there would be an appre-
ciative response to the energy and
money exerted and spent by the
management.
1t is also inconceivable that there
could be any one so small and
bigoted in a community that would
exert himself to the extent that
he could use his influence to pre-
vent building of a beautiful, modern
! ball park.
However, that very thing actually

KEEPING UP
With
THE NE WIS
BY LUDWELL DENNY


Did Robert w. Stewart, chair
man of the Standard Oil of Indiana,
lie to the Senate Teapot Dome
committee about his notorious Con-
tinental Trading deal, and can he
be jailed five years for perjury? On
order Of the Senate, the district at
torney in Washington is trying to
answer this question
1T seems to me, from the testi-
mony given by Stewart himself, and
other facts which are undiSputed
and admitted, that he is guilty of
perjury" said Senator Norris tRep) d.
Nebraska. HE is either a fool or a
crook and everyone knows he is
not a fool"
"He practically admitted, while
yet denying. that he lied to the
Senate committee and that he did
it for a purpose-of frustrating
justice, because testimony that he
might have given in response to the
questions asked might result in the
conviction of his partner in crime,
Harry Sinclair.
Many irreconcilable differences
between Stewards testimony on the
first and second occasions" were
pointed out by Senator Walsh,
(Dem), Montana, committee in
quisitor.
These Senate perjury charges
arise from te~timony given by Stew
art to the committee last February.
The committee had traced about
three fourths of the 100000 Con-
tinental profits to Harry Sinclair
and to the oil officials who escaped
to Europe, Blackmer and ONeil.
AS one of the four main partici-
pants in the deal. it was suspected
that Stewart got the missing quar-
ter of the Liberty bond profits.
Several times the committee
asked Stewart on the stand, what,
if anything. do you know about any
Of the bonds purchased by the Con-
tinental Trading Company" Stew
art made the following replies:
Il do not know anything about
theh bonds. I never had anything
to do with the distribution of any
aonde."
Il did not personally receive any
OF these bonds or make a dollar
out Of them; I personally did not
make a dollar out of this trans
action"
When Stewart was recalled by the
Senate committee this week he adj
Titted what the committee had
since found out-that he did receive
S75o.5 of the Continental bonds.
Tax reduction. fixed by the House
bill at $4,000 600. has been brought
down by the Senate Finance Com
mittee to 5000, 100000
Corporation tax was reduced by
the Senate Committee from 13i2 per
cent to 1915 per cent. compared with
the liz per cent in the House bill.
Democrats demand a total re-
duction of 1925, 100000.

Alleged attempts OF so-called
militarists to frame pacifsts are
said to be involved in the case put
before the Postofice Department
today regarding charges that the
National Council for Prevention Of
War illegally used the congressional
mailing privilege.
Officials Of the council deny the
charges and demand an investiga-
ton.
They are supported by Representa-
tive McClintic. Democrat. Oklahoma,
whose franked envelope was alleged
to have contained council literature.
One affidavit to this effect was
made by Harold M. Weeks Of Welles-
ley Hills, Mass. according to Rep
resentative Andrew, Republican,
Massachusetts.
In the House debate, McClintic
called Andrew "A rattlesnake' for
spreading false charges.

It is impossible to think of auto
mobiles just now, without recalling
the tragic fate of Frank Lockhart.
In one way of looking at it this
is just another case OF the racer
getting what goes with his trade.
but we leave out the best part of
the story if we stop there,
Racing has accomplished more
than to thrill the public, or help
manufacturers with advertising.
It's very gamble with death has
taught engineers where weaknesses
were and how to overcome them.
The automobile industry owes
much to those men who have taken
their lives in their hands to prove
what machinery could do when
strained to the limit.
