J. F. Dalton, trGnSmitter develop
ment engineer, demonstrates use of
the "lvhiSpering telephone"
This transmitter, which was orig
inally developed for use in radio tele-
phone systems and in aircraft, coast
guard, and fire boat communication,
has been found suitable for this pur-
pose.
The equipment, as described in the
Bell Laboratories Record, differs in
appearance from the regular desk
stand transmitter in having instead Of
a regular mouthpiece, a rather wide
opening covered by protective graf
ing. The diaphragm is formed of
duralumin, which is metal used in
other telephone equipment, notably the
handset type Of instrument.
Laboratory scientists also developed
the artificial larynx, another instru-
ment now being used extensively by
persons who have been deprived Of
their vocal cords as a result of sur
gical operations.

Telephone service in the new ST.
100000 Department of Commerce
Building at Washington, which is said
to cover more ground than any Office
building In the world, is supplied from
a combination manual and dial switch
board.
! This immense building contains
about twenty-five acres Of disable floor
space and the 10000 employees of the

are served by 1000 telephones. The
switchboard is connected with city
central offices by 80 trunk lines, while
other government departments are
reached by 40 tie lines.
The switchboard equipment serving

calls made daily.
Telephone users served by the De-
partment Of Commerce switchboard to-
day make more than 800 calls each
hour, which is twenty times as many
as were made during the average day
in 1905, according to Miss Anna M.
Hook, chief operator, who was the
second young woman employed on the
telephone switchboard in this depart
ment.
The operators serving this switch
board must know who's who in the
various departments and divisions, for
while the officials and employees of
the department are expected to call by
number, it is only natural that great
many calls are made by name, which
necessitates alertness on the part o

be shifted and lightened on some
sources, however, they had, of course,
to be increased on others or new
sources of revenue had to be discov-
cred.
In the light of all this, the General
Assembly moved along two lines: (a)
It increased by many millions of dol
lars the States revenues from indi-
rect sources and applied these funds
to the support of the schools. (b)
With reluctant hand it cut the oper-
ating costs of the six months term
by an amount sufficient to provide,
theoretically at least, a balanced bud
get.
For the previous year, the State
had put into the six months school
term $5,25O,000. All of it was de-
rived from indirect sources of reve-
nue.. An effort was made to increase
the taxes on these sources and to levy
sufficient additional taxes on other
and new indirect sources to enable
the State to operate the six months
term without the levy of any ad va
loren taxes. At the last, however,
this was found impossible, and some
ad valorem taxes were levied. The
funds provided annually for the six
months terms are the following:
State funds from indirect sources,
$11,5OOO0O.
State funds from ad valorem taxes,
$4,35O,OOO.
County funds, fines, forfeitures,
etc., S1,32O,OOO.
Total, $17,171,OO0.
These were all the taxes for which
the proponents of the State support
could get legislative assent. This
was obtained only after a momentous
struggle lasting for five months. They
afterwards appropriated out of the
State treasury all the money they had
thus collected for the support of the
public schools. These measures were,
of course, primarily for the relief of
land taxes, but the Assembly was not
unmindful of the needs of the schools.
They went as far as they could go in
order to carry into effect the princi-
pie of complete State support without
the levy of an ad valorem tax.
Further action, however, was nee
essary to balance the budget accord
ing to the estimated revenue. The
school budget had to be cut. They
did not try to make all the savings at
one place, but, after canvassing the
whole field, they cut the cost in many
places. This was done reluctantly.
The teaching load was increased, and
authorization was given for the re-
duction of salaries on the uniform
percentage basis by an amount not
exceeding 10 per cent. Many other
economies were necessary.
These two measures represent
North Cardinals effort to keep the
public schools open in the face of, and
in spite of, the financial depression.
For many years we had accepted
without question the doctrine that
public education is a State function.
The General Assembly of 1881, how
ever, went much further. 1t said that
public education is not only a State
function, but that its support is a sol
emn State obligation which must be
met by revenue levied in the name of
the State.

Home Demonstration Agent

Roast Stuffed Cured Pork Shoulder
Have cured pork shoulder skinned
and boned. Wash the shoulded and
soak it overnight in cold water to COW
er. On removing the piece from the
water wipe it dry. Lay the shoulder
fat side down, pile in some of the hot
stuffing, begin to sew the edges of the
shoulder together to form a pocket,
and gradually work in the rest of the
stuffing. The receipt for stuffing
given below makes the right quantity
for or pound shoulder. Lay the
stuffed shoulder, fat side up, on a
rack in an open roasting pan without
water. Roast the meat at very
moderate heat 1926 F. until it is tender
when pierced with skewer or fork.
A 4 to pound shoulder will require
about 31s hours to cook at this oven
temperature.
Raisin Stufing
Two tablespoons butter or other
fat, 1 tablespoon chopped onion, 1 cup
finely cut celery and tops, 2 table
spoons chopped parsley, 21s cups fine,
dry bread crumbs, " pound seeded
chopped raisins, grated rind of one
half lemon, II teaspoon salt.
Cook the onion, celery, and parsley
in the fat for a few minutes. Mix the
raisins thoroughly with the bread
crumbs, stir in the cooked vegetables,
and add the lemon rind and salt.
Italian Baked Rice
Four cups boiled rice, y cup grated
cheese, u cup chopped pimento, u
cups tomato juice, 2 teaspoons salt,
70 teaspoon pepper.
Mix the ingredients well together
pour into baking dish. Cover the
top of the dish with the pulp left
from straining the tomatoes. Bake
for 80 minutes in a moderate oven
and serve hot. This dish will make
10 average servings.
Household Helps
If soup or broth is too salty, add a
sliced carrot or potato; boil few
minutes and remove slices. Repeat
if necessary. The vegetables may be
used.
To separate fat from soups and
gravy, thoroughly wet a clean, white
cloth in very cold water, pour soup
or gravy through it; the fat will re-
main in the cloth. Repeat if neces-
sary.
In adding eggs to custards, soups,
sauces, ETC., add few spoonfuls of
the boiling liquid to the eggs before
stirring them into the mixture. If
this is done carefully, the eggs will not
curdle. When used for thickening, as
in custards, eggs must be beaten only
till smooth, not frothy.
1t takes less bacon to flavor baked
beans if the bacon is put through the
food chopper.
To keep bacon, eggs, ETC., from pop
ping or scattering grease while fry
ing, sprinkle bit of flour into the
grease, it takes up the moisture which
causes popping. A tiny drop of water
clinging to the food or falling from
wet hands or lid might cause severe
burns from scattering grease.
When grease drops on the floor
dash cold water on it Immediately,
and it will harden before it can soak
into the wood.

This view makes the whole bill of
cost, on such standards as the State
may from time to time set up, directly
chargeable to the State itself. This,
of course, is revolutionary in concep.
ton. 1t is complete reversal of leg
islative thinking which had been dom
inant for so years. The acceptance
of the doctrine of complete State sup
port places the consideration of edu-
cational procedure at the center of all
State policies, and makes it a part of
every general scheme of State taxa
ton and revenue. 1t can no longer be
shunted, segregated, or isolated.
In undertaking to pay the whole bill
of cost, it was necessary for the State
to reserve the right to fix and main
tain its own standards of cost. 1t
does not agree to pay the bill on
county standards. Such an agree
ment would lead to bankruptcy. The
law does provide, however, in Sec
ton Is, that the counties, with the
approval of the Board of Commission
ers and of the State Board of Equali-
cation, map supplement each object
and item of expenditure, to bring the
schools of the county up to county
standards. This is not a part of the
State support scheme, but is supple
mentry. Thus, the priciple of local
autonomy and the power to exercise
local initiative, principle dear to all
school people, is preserved and ex-
tended.
The doctrine of complete support
necessitates a different kind of budget
from the one we formerly made for
State participation. An equalization
budget is horizontal in conception. We
take one unit of cost such as the sal
aries of teachers and to that Unit add
certain percentages. This gives a
budget that it put down in layers. 1t
is a stratifed budget that is spread
over the State. The county must pay
any increased cost that may be
brought about by conditions peculiar
to it. No consideration is given to
differences that may exist. A part
of the necessary cost may in this way
be left to the individual county. Fur
thermore, participating budget must
be made on the basis of the business
for last year. This throws all the cost
added on account of growth on the
county. This serves in poor counties
to retard school development, and to
increase tax rates.
A complete support budget is set up
on the verticle principle. All the nee
essary costs from top to bottom must
be considered if the State is to pay
the whole bill on the basis of State
standards. There are listed in the
State budget all the necessary cost
items, from janitorial supplies to the
salary of the superintendent. There
is $150,000 for Institutional supplies.
The clerical help in the Office of the
county superintendent is paid. We
also pay the postage, express, tele-
graph and telephone bills in this Of
fee. The whole field of necessary cost
is covered. Moreover, the very idea
of complete support turns the atten-
ton from last years business to the
business of the current year. The
State is putting up money to run the
schools and not to participate in this
years business on last years cost.

cess, has this year adopted new
policy-that of co-starring some one
with her. The presence of Joseph
Schildkraut In her company is a
step forward-if-your remember him
in the original "Liliom," or as he
played In "The Affairs of Anatole"
two seasons ago for Bella Blau on
Broadway.
.'Liliom," as it will be played to-
night, is the same "Liliom" that
theatergoers saw back 10 years 1t
Is the play which catapulted Miss
LIE Gallienne to fame. From there
on she progressed to THE Swan"
and then to Ibsen-morning matt
ness Of Ibsen which every one
scoffed at and which became SO
popular that eventually she was able
to sweep the old cobWebS out of the
Fourteenth street theater and tack
her own name in bold headlines
above the door.
Camille" however, which Ma
tional Theater patrons will see tomor-
row, is not the same Camille" they
are used to. 1t Is the straight"
version-the version without pro-
logue or epilogue-the play, as Du-
mas Fills wrote it-transplanted word
for word. In it Miss LIE Gallienne,
as she has admitted, plays the lady
as she sees her-not as any one else
has seen her. She has borrowed
from no one.
