CARE OF HAIR BRUSHES
(Mme. Vienna E. Young

Brushes should re cleaned very Of
ten and thoroughly, as a surprising "a
mount Of dust and dirt gather in the
hair This quickly accumulates in the
brushes and fills them. Hence the
brush should be cleaned Immediately
after usins.
Substances recommended for this
purpose are gasoline, ammonia, and
borax. 1t is also good plan to dis
infect the brush, by putting a few
drops of carbolic acid in the water
Neither hot water nor soap should be
used, and the bristles should be allowed
to dry thoroughly before using them
The effect of hot water and soap is tc
soften the bristles and also the glue
with which they are commonly fasten-
ed into the brush, and when soft, the
bristles are likely to split and breal
off or fail out.

AVERAGE NEGRO ELEMENTARY
TEACHERS SALARY

Louisville, Ky, Aug, Is, CAMP The
National Advisory Committee on the
Education of Negro met in Louisville
Ky, last week in connection with the
convention of the National Association
Of Teachers in Colored Schools This
was the fifth meeting since the organ
ization of the Committee in 1880 Its
function has been to advise with DR.
Ambrose Caliver, Specialist in the
Education of Negroes, U. S. Office Of E
ducation with reference to the special
surveys Of secondary education among
Negroes and the education of Negro
teachers, as well problems arising in
connection with the regular work OF
the specialist.
The particular feature of this meet
ing was a report by DR.. Caliver Of the
findings and conclusions of the Sur
vey of the Education of Negro Teach
ers, that has been in progress during
the past three years and which is now
completed
Although variations exist between
different States, the following are a
few of the findings and conclusions re-
ported Cd In General, the preparation
Of Negro elementary teachers in 1880
81 was far below standard: % about
p percent had not progressed beyond
the fourth year of high school; (3) Sc
percent ranged between high school
education and the accepted minimum
standard Of two years Of college (near-
ly half had not reached that standard):
az only p percent had more than two
years of college; % in two States more
than 50 percent Of the Negro elemen-
tary teachers had not advanced be-
yond high school as compared with
corresponding percentage of less than
for white elementary teachers in the
a-ane States; 90 the median annual
salary of Negro elementary teachers
was only $548, and ranged as low as
1904 in one State.
Some recommendations based on
other findings of the Survey were: ~
Teacher preparing institutions for Ne
groes should raise their entrance re-
quirements; ~ they should inaugurate
definite programs of student personel
research and administration; 30 less
variation should exist in the curricula
policies and practices of Negro insti-
tutions; "a special attention should
be given to the selection and prepar-
alton of rural teachers; 81 rural teach
ing should be mare more attractive to
Negro teachers with high qualiica-
tons; 60 the dual certifcation system
for white end colored teachers should
be discontinued and Negro teachers
should be certified and allowed to

PUTTING NEWS" IN NEWSPAPERS

The question as to what constitutes news has
been debated and over again for many years,
and even authorities in journalism who have devot-
ed their entire adult lives to the gathering of items
for publication differ in their contentious with ref
erence to what constitutes news and what are the
relative news values.
Sensational journalism, we believe, goes too far
in its appeal to the sordid and in bringing to the
public eye the gruesome and nauseating details of
crime. But in general way it may be said that
any action affecting large group of individuals,
organized or unorganized, or the public generally
constitutes news.
Laymen cannot always appreciate the attitude
of the newspaper in this respect and very often
it is true that the journalist who has labored hard
for cause in the editorial columns or otherwise
is criticized by opponents of that cause attempt
ing to exploit situation when he prints news items
which he could not afford to keep out of the paper
except at the expense of his conscience as news
papernan.
Manifesty it should be clear that story APP
pearing in the news columns of a paper does not
necessarily express the views of the newspaper,
which may be quite different from the ideas set
forth in the story. And it is likewise clear that
the columns of free press are open to all factions
in any matter of public interest. Therefore, it
would seem in this connection that in the attitude
of layman toward fairly presented news stories,
the layman, himself, and not the newspaper, is on
trial.-Winston-Sa Journal.

AFTER THE EXEMPTED CLASS

In the state legislature Pete Murphy is laboring
to reduce the of tax-exempt securities, one
measure in budget-balancing. In the senate, Cor
dell Hull regarded by Mr. Roosevelt as zone of the
most popular men in the country" is advocating
a sweeping change in the Constitution under which
al governmental securities might be taxed along
with all salaries and fees This would assist buG-
get-balancing and at the same time discourage ex-
travagance. He is backed by Senator Ashurst, who
wants further issue of tax-exempt securities pre-
vented. For the existing situation, he chides off,
Gals of the government, from top to bottom, are
themselves to blame. The thing for which Mr.. Hull
is reaching is a long way off, but it may come
What Hull aims at is this: "Income derived from
securities issued and from salaries and fees pail
by or under the authority of the United States OF
any state may be included in any tax income
levied by the United States in any tax on income
of its residents levied by any state, except to the
extent that prior to the ratification of this article
income from any such securities has been exempt
ed from taxation at the time of their issuance By
the government issuing or authorizing them; pro-
vided, that the congress may exempt from any
such tax, federal, state or local. for period not
exceeding five years, income from any securities
hereafter issued under the exigencies of war"
Senator Hull sets forth situation and prophecy
thusly: "The American people are slow to anger,
but as the depression grows longer, their temper
gets shorter. They not and will not stand for
one individual having his pockets bulge and his
strong box burst with non-taxabe securities while
| thousands of others are compelled to pay taxes.
| The individual who holds those tax-exempt bonds
has just the protection as those who pay
taxes, and it is not going to be accepted forever
that way"
| The closing indictment is that tax-exempt
policy, federal, state and local, has not only en-
couraged extravagant expenditures and unneces-
sary increases of debt but it is driving the nation
into condition wherein there is gradually arising
great idle class living on tax-exempt income.--

REYALUATION-WHAT THEN?

PROPOSAL has been made in the general assembly
for fiat 40 per cent reduction in property values
in the state this to take the place of any house
toulouse revaluation If there is to be revauatlon
il seems to us that fiat reduction rate-although
we are not agreed as to the percentage-would DC
wiser and more economical than farm-to-tarm o.
house toulouse canvass.
But what will profit from revaluatlon! II we de-
duet 40 per cent from the value of our properties
won't we have to add proportionate sum to the
tax rate?
Most of the counties in the state have difficulty
now living within their income and if this income
is reduced through revaluation, what must be the
inevitable result? A higher tax rate, of course
North Carolnians can't eat their tax candy ana
have it too. They can't reduce their taxable prop
erty and their tax payments at the same time
Debt service. general operations, sinking funds,
eleemosynary institutions and the like are fixed
charges that can't be avoided We care not what
degree of economy is practced and if the property
vaIuaglon from which taxes raised is lowered,
then the rate must be increased.
Can there be anything like 40 per cent cut IN
valuation. elimination of the Is cent tax on prop
erty and no increase anywhere else along the line?
We think such a program an impossbility.-Con-
cord Tribune.
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1933-02-17

that we cannot cease from exploiting them. In the
aggregate we are hot for economy but when II
comes down to cases we are the same sycophantc
poor relations on the lookout for what can be got.
As an excellent example, there is the little mat
ter of the Charlotte postmastership. We all know
that we could dispense with postmaster, leaving
the work to the assistant postmaster who does 1t
anyhow, without delaying the delivery of single
letter and without losing the sale of single stamp.
We know that simply by rising up and saying We
do not need postmaster we could save the fed
eral government something like $4,000 a year,
which is part of the perennial postal deficit estl-
mated to be nearly $15O,OOO,OOO in 1888.
And will we rise up and say We need no post
master for this office? Well, money is hard to
come these days but we have the brashness to
wager a small sum at 10 to that we will do moth
ing of the sort.-Charlotte News.

The house today has crowd
ed calendar with more than a
score of bills ready for action
1t would have to stay in session
for three Or four hours to pass
| intelligently upon these bills. In
dications were, however, that the
house would again pass over a
large number of these bills and
adjourn whenever the members
cot hungry, regardless of the
number of bills still to be acted
