THAT VOLUNTARY SALARY
CUT

The Tax Payers League of
Cecil County has presented to
the Board of Education a set of
resolutions urging that the
public school teachers of the
county be requested to accept
a voluntary cut of ten per cent,
in their salaries, looking to a
reduction in the annual school
budget, and a consequent cut
the county tax rate.
Our guess is that the propO-
sition, when put up to the pub
lie school teachers, will meet
with the same favor as a meas
ure of similar character did at
the hands of Congress. Our
National Congress has been
wrestling with the problem of
curtailment of public expenses,
etc., for weeks, and one of the
measures considered, to help in
this laudable purpose, was a
proposal to cut the salaries of
the peoples representatives in
this great National body.
And did it find favor? When
the vote was taken the meas
ure was showed under, and this
is what will happen to the
proposition of the Tax Payers
League when the teachers vote
upon it.
But why a curtailment of the
salaries of the teachers alone?
Are there not other depart
ments in our county where saw
ings could be effected by cur
tailments, and public officials
who receive higher salaries
than those paid the teachers?
II the cut is to be made, should
1t not, with equal justice, ex-
tend all along the line?
A reduction in the tax rate
OF our county would be hailed
with acclaim by every tax pay
er, but if the purposed curtail-
ment is to extend no further
than to that of the educational
system, one of the most i'm
portant and farreaching public
functions of our county, then
our prediction is the move
ment is defeated before it is
started.

The National Association of
Credit Men has announced the
initiation of a continuous fire
prevention program for 1882.
"Unrelenting vigilance" is
the keynote and the Associa-
tons fire prevention commit
tees in 1877 cities are the nucl-
Gus of the drive. The goal is
to cut the annual fire waste in
half. The announcement says.
"A saving of $3.50, 0OO,O 900
through elimination of half of
our annual fire waste means a
gain of close to a billion dol
lars for American business.
When dollars and commodi-
ties are tied up through fire
catastrophes they canno t
work"
There is nothing mysterious
about fire prevention. It's
fundamental tenet is common
sense. Carelessness and ig-
norance have allowed annual
fire losses to exceed one-half
billion dollars. knowledge
and vigilance can bring this
down.

Struggling Against Tax Flood

The San Francisco Chroni-
Gle makes this biting state
ment about the tax farce be-
ing staged in Congress: en-
stead of 'quibbling over a pro-
gram for the saving of mere
millions in governmental ex-
penses, Congress should try
for economy of billion.
Congress thinks of bill
lions only as sums to be
spent. When it comes to saw
ing, Congress thinks in mil
lions if at all.
Governmental expenditure
es for 1882 are just a shade
below $4,O0O,OOO,OO0. A re-
duction of 25 per cent would
save a billion. Millions of
individuals have had to cut
their personal budgets rs per
cent in the last three years. /"
Senator Capper, OF Kansas,
hit the tax question with a
sledge hammer when he pro-
posed that whenever a body
OF citizens petitions Congress
for measures involving large
appropriations for special SER
vices to a limited territory,
they include with their petit
ton a statement like this:
And in order to raise the
money thus called for, we re-
quest that you assess upon US
tax necessary to meet the
expenditure"
Senator Capper is right in
proposing that those who
seek special favors at the
hands of government, be pre-
pared to pay for expenditures
secured instead of loading the
burden onto the general tax
payer who, in the majority of
cases, receives little or no
benefit from such projects, al
though he is now taxed stag
gering sums to pay for them.

Ham and Bacon
in Many Ways
Americans Are Especially
Fond of Dishes of Either
of These Meats

All over the world are ham and
bacon lovers, but according to
Inez s. Wilson, home economist.
Americans are esecpally fond of
these foods. There Is something
about the taste of smoked meats
that they like. Everyone's appetite
Is stimulated by the smoky favor
Of the hickory from the north
woods.
Hams or bacon with eggs seems
to be the usual method of serving
these meats. Ham or bacon with
eggs il good, but why use them
only in that way when smoked
meats offer an endless variety of
combinations with other foods
which are equally as good?
With a cooked ham and a piece
of bacon in the refrigerator, one
need never worry about the prepa-
ration of a hasty meal nor the ar
rival of unexpected company. The
economical housekeeper can save
money by purchasing a whole ham,
and then using 1t as she needs 1t.
She may bake the ham in the usual
way. or she may bake 1t as sug-
gested below by Miss Wilson.
Baked Ham
Select q ham OF the desired
weight. Wipe 1t with damp cloth,
and place 1t with the fat side up
in a roasting pan. Place in a slow
oven (300 degrees F.) and cook
until done, allowing Is minutes per
pound for cooking. About As min
utes before baking Is completed,
take the ham from the oven and
remove the skin. Score the fat top
in crisscross fashion with diagonal
gashes about inch apart. Insert
whole cloves at each cross-section.
Rub the fat with tablespoons
mustard, then cover with half
inch layer of brown sugar and very
fine bread crumbs which have been
moistened with pineapple Juice. Set
the ham back in the oven and
finish baking at moderate tenn
prature. Serve with rings of canned
pineapple halves.
Ham en- Casserole
Ham en- casserole IL an excellent
way OF cooking slices Of ham. Cut
the ham about an inch and half
or two inches thick. Put 1t In a
casserole, cover with milk, and
bake for " hours in a slow oven.
In addition to these, there are
hundreds of ways of using small
amounts of ham in appetizing
combinatio The last bits of the
ham can be made into such COM
binations as ham croquettes, ham
loaf, or ham mousse.

Supplies More Ample
Supplies this winter are unques-

Nevertheless, the cooperative shops
which distribute rationed goods are
still desolate looking places. The
shelves are almost bare. The stores

this season, Allan Jones, who comes to
the musical stage from the concert

Lang who was heard here last season
as Kathie is again singing this role
and George Hasseu who created the
role OF Lutz in the original production
will be seen again as the mirth-provok-

Others in the large cast include
Berta Dom and Clarence Harvey, while
the male chorus will be a feature as
always.
"RLOSSOM TIME" will be heard at

days beginning December %, with a
Saturday matinee. This delightful
musical play of the romance of the
famous composer Schubert gains N
appeal with the passing of the years,
especially as an excellent singing COM
pany has always appeared in it. This
11-year-old masterpiece has been
played and sung not once but several
times in practically every city and
town in the United States and yet it
is as warmly welcomed today as when
