This centenary comedies with
that Of Frances first railroad,
which still joins Paris with st.
German. Indeed, the first train
in 1927 was late. and because Of
this tardiness. that delicious gas
trOnOmic creatlon--"pOmmeS soul

Parliament did not authorize
Louis-Philippe, the "citizen-
king" to ride on this first rail
road train in France, for fear of
accidents, ard so he proceeded tc
Saint Germain by coach. He was
there to welcome the train, with
its royal and distinguished pas
sengers. also to attend the ban
uuet prepared by Collinct, the
great chef, given in The Pavilion
Henri ".
LouiS-GaillppC, II seems, WAS

French fried potatoes. and Col
linet had prepared them with
care But, alas! the train was
late, and Collinet feared that his
potatoes would dry up and be-
come hard. SO, ne took them off
the fire. while awaiting the ar
rival Of the king.
When his majesty was an
nounced, Collinet put the pOta-
toes back into butter upon. the
fire, and presto! a miracle was
performed. The crust dilated and
expanded and then turned golden.
Entirely by accident. Collinct had
become the inventor, of "pOmmeS

eral petitions which were withdrawn at

Considerable time was devoted at the
hearing to arguments for change
which would permit the erection of a
group of stores, with parking for auto
mobiles of customers, on a site on the
east side Of Connecticut avenue, between
Morrison and Mckinley streets.
This change. from residential to first
commercial, was urged by Roger j.

an option ON the site, and George J.

The petition was opposed by some
residents of the section and by num-

the section now has SUFFICIENT number of

running with title to the property for
bidding its use for commercial pur-

TEACHERS OFFER
EFFICIENCY PLAN
Submit Seven Suggestions to
Board to Aid in Meeting
Economy Demands.

Seven suggestions for the more eff
cient meeting of the demands made
upon the school administration by the
necessity of saving $4,000 in teachers
and librarians salaries were made by
the District of Columbia Teachers Un-
ion and transmitted to the Board OF
Education at its meeting late yester-
day. The suggestions were taken under
advisement by the board.
In brief, the suggestions follow:
l. That the appropriation bills pro-
vision that teachers not engaged in ac-
tual class room work be given teach
ing work be strictly adhered to with
the immediate transfer of such teach
ers to teaching positions.
g. Since the School Board contem-
plates increasing the already heavy
load on teachers by concentrating
classes, 1--WE ask that there be equal
division of work in the senior and
Junior high schools-that is, that there
be no nghtened program for any
teacher and that all teachers have the
same number of actual periods OF class
room work"
8. That extra -curricular work be
dropped during the forthcoming fiscal
year.
4. That clerical work now required
of teachers be reduced to minimum.
Would Reduce Tests.
S. Since testing of pupils under the
supervision of the school department of
research imposes an unnecessarily
4. ho foonIQrc fhQt
no testing other than that required to
establish intelligence quotients be re-
quired.
6. Since teachers with "unsatisfac..
tory ratings are to be dropped, that
only probationary teachers who re-
ceived unsatisfactory ratings during
their probationary years, and that per-
manent teachers who received unsatis-
factory ratings for three years, be sep
arated from the service; and
7. If all of the School Boards pro-
posed methods of reducing the teach
er and librarian salary total by $4,000
prove Inadequate, that additional
teachers be retired, lowering the age
bracket to 60 for that purpose.
The methods which School Board
members, sitting as Committee OF
the Whole, already have agreed to en-.
force, include retirement of teachers
who have reached the age of 10 and
the separation from the service of all
teachers whose efficiency ratings are
unsatisfactory.
Approve Retirement of IA.
At its meeting yesterday, the School
Board approved the retirement OF 13
teachers and one laborer. They were

APPEAL TO UTILITIES

MO more restrained and reasonable state
ment Of the aims Of the Tennessee Valley
Authority has been given than that of Director
David E. Lienthal, speaking before the Rotary
Club at Memphis.
Assailed on all sides by unfriendly interests,
facing the new national movement to organize
public utility securities holders to fight this
great experiment Of the Roosevelt new deal,
Director Lilienthal stated his case with admir-
able clarity
THE Authority" he said, 'is not engaged in
a punitive expedition against the utilities. The
Authority is an instrument of the people Of
the United States. 1t is charged with the duty
Of carrying out national power policy, and
the safeguarding Of the public interest in the
country's greatest resource. This policy has
not been formulated over night It Is not
mere political accident. The power program
Of the Authority is an integral part Of larger
policy for the economic development Of the
United States The duty Of the Authority is
to carry out that policy. But in carrying it
out, the Authority is determined to bring the
least possible injury to actual investments in
useful property"
What is his means Of working with the
private power interests? Mr.. Lilienthals an
swer is this:
1.-THE Authority is ready to sit down with
the leaders in the electrical industry and dis
cuss their respective problems as business men,
and as men who above all other considerations
are loyal to their government and to their
President at time Of grave crisis"
No hot words here. The simple, under
standable statement that the Authority is pre-
pared to bring the least possible injury to
actual investments in useful property of pri-
vate power concerns.
The way now is open for these power in
terests-who might just as well understand
that the TWA is here to stay and carry on its
power experimenting sit down with the Off
ciaIs Of the Authority and work out program
that will not hamper the government, and at
the same time do the least possible injury to
power stockholders
IT appeal to the electrical industry" said
Mr.. Lilienthal, ION behalf of the investors to
whom it is responsible, to show measure Of
business leadership which will make the coun-
try forget the disgrace which was cast on the
industry during the past decade"
The next move is up to the private power
industry.

BY ]. l.. H.
Bravo, William Andrews! I, too,
think that it is about time the
populace of this city awoke to the
fact that one of the chief reasons
our taxes are where they are is
that a huge percentage Of the peo-
pie now gainfully employed here live
outside of the corporation limits.
Yes, even out of Marion county.
The manufacturers rather would
employ them for they can be OBJ
tanned at a lower wage scale. They
can live on it, too, that is the joke.
Their rent is lower and taxes are
nothing like what we who live in
the city pay.
Where is the so-called taxpayers
league?> Why don't they use this as
a means to obtain lower taxes?
These people should be asked to
move back into the city or pay for
the privilege Of working here.
do not believe it would be I'M
constitutional for the city council to
pass such an ordinance. Levy a 10
per cent tax on their weekly pay
check and watch them move back
to town.
1t would not only mean the
empty houses filed up but more
home building to be done. Come on
now, let's hear from more people in
terested in a movement of this kind.
