BILL TO INCREASE
SCHOOL BOARD PAY
Reid and Ball Behind Move
for Raise From 500
to $500.
BY staE Correspondent of The Star.

RICHMOND, Va, February 20.-By
hooking on" to a bill that was origi-
nally intended to affect only Chester
field County, which sdjoins the City of
Richmond, Delegate Hugh Reid of Ar
lington County yesterday provided for
increasing the salaries of members Of
the school board in the Northern Vir-
ginia county from 500 to $500 yearly.
Senator Frank L. Ball, also of Arling-
ton, made similar move in the Senate
The bill by which the school board
OF Arlington benefits as originally drawn
provided that the members of school
boards in counties adjoining cities of
l75,000 or more population be allowed
q maximum salary of $500 instead of
500 a year. In that form it would
have applied only to Chesterfield, Rich
mond being the only city of the speci-
fed size in the State.
When the measure came up for final
passage, however, Reid succeeded in
having adopted an amendment with re-
gard to the city which stated whether
it be in or out of the State" thereby
causing members of the school board to
benefit by the fact that Arlington
County adjoins the District of Columbia.
Under the present system school
trustees are paid at the rate of SIS a
meeting, nor to exceed 500 yearly.
Under the new system their regular
salary for meetings would not be In
creased. The Arlington County School
Board meets weekly, however, during
the school term and by raising the
maximum the members will collect the
entire amount.

lion people mad by the enactment Of
the weak bill and will have to make
them mad all over again when the time
comes to pass bill that has teeth"
In view of the present situation, it
is believed by many of those interested,
1t will be impossible to pass any legisla-
ton at the present session, for the
House has killed the Senate bill and 1t
is believed almost certain that the
Senate will refuse to pass the House
substitute even if it is given favorable
consideration by the latter body as a
whole, which is not at all certain.
The bill advocated by Frazier to
increase the speed limit to As miles an
hour will, in the event of its passage,
have but one effect, the language of
the original speed limit act having been
retained. The courts of the State have
held that the speed limit law in Vir-
GINA can only be used for prima facie
evidence in the case of an accident that
occurs while motorist Is exceeding
that speed, but that the motorist cannot
be arrested merely for exceeding the
limit. The Frazier bill would give the
driver an additional 10 miles per hour
leeway in case he had an accident
while exceeding it, but he still would
not be subject to arrest merely for
speeding.

OUT DOOR REST

By ALICE HUDSON PEALE The afternoon rest has been gen. orally accepted as desirable for CT lunch they should lie down to sleep, if possible, and in any case, to relax for at least an hour. During the summer it is in the hottest hours of the day that he takes his rest in his cool and shaded room, but in winter when the sum- shiny hours are few, he lies shut away from the sun during just the hours when it is giving it's maximum warmth and benefit.
 The afternoon rest is desira ble and the sunshiny hours are preci- ous. There is no reason why the child should be deprived of either.
 With a little thought it is almost always possible to arrange for an out-of-door rest hour. Those who have porches or better still sunny upstairs sleeping porches. can ar range warm and comfortable beds for the children there.
 Those who have only a city roof may find a practicable solution in the use of folding cot or the com mon variety of beach chair with a foot rest. If these are used it will, of course, be necessary to see that there are plenty of warm, woolen covers below as well as above and that the child himself is warmly. 1 though lightly. dressed.
 IL may take some time to acCus- tom the child who has been used to an indoor nap to sleeping out in the open.
 If he is made 10 feel that it is a privilege and if he is thoroughly comfortable he very quickly gets used to the new regime and will soon rest in the fresh air and sun- shine better than he ever did in his own bed room,

Now, up in the nest was some food which the oth- CT young owl had not eaten. Mrs. Hooty took some of this and flew back to the stump. The, young Owl thero reached for it eagerly.

After that it was an easy plattcr to get him up on another hrnb Il little higher, and so on until he was half way up to the nest, Mrs. Hooty felt as 1T half her wor- rios were over.

Spring Hats Are Brimming Over With Style

New York. Feb. 2S-Spring mill linery has taken shape right over our heads. Long before spring cos tunes are appropriate, women de- mand the psychological uplift of a new spring chapeau.
 | A French woman once said: "In spite of ourselves, we are like our hats"
 | Remembering that, women must develop lady-manners to go with most of the new spring headgear. The materials are so fine, the nu- ances of color so gentle, the shapes so flatteringly feminine.
 Two things about the new hats arrest the attention of the observ- ing person. Brims are the first bit of news-lots of brims, some un- even, some pleated, some split with one side turned back. But even cloches may acquire brims.
 The second thing is the profile silhouette of hats. When you buy spring hats this year, try them from the side front and the full side, quite as eagerly and carefully as the front. You might be able to out look or outsmile an unnattering eff feet of the front. But the side view catches you unawares and is, there fore, tremendously important to Milady's vanity.
 StraWs Have High Place in Mode
 Straws are very important in spring hats. Straws weave silks, tweed, jersey and other fabric threads into their beauty Then there are the roughish cellaphonc straWs, the new panamalaques, and all the ballibuntls and bakus. Black satin is very, very chic for after

The Party Leaves the Farmhouse for the Catskills--Lillian Prepared to Grant Robert Savarin's Dying Wish---a Last Sight of Her!

What could Philip Veritzen have written 10 his son which had such power to govern NoeIs conduct to- ward Mary? This was the question which again beat lnsistently against

BIG AND LITTLE TIGERS


 It requires no extraordinary i'm agination to appreciate how a tiger might claw and bite d man and thereby injure or destroy him.
 It is also fairly common knowl- edge that there are certain poison ous snakes whose venom, if in- jected into the human being, can severely injure and sometimes cause death.
 It is however, a great deal more difficult for the average person to appreciate how those intinitesimally small tigers and snakes, the patho- genie (disease- -producing) bacteria, might do the same.
 Their incredible smallness and the fact that the average person has never seen a germ, renders be- lief in their destructive powers difficult.
 And yet, the fact that certain germs produce toxins which can severely injure the human body, and that there are germs which, though mouthless and toothless, may be as destructive as tigers, is
