THE TEACHERS DRESS
9. Bell syndIcate.-wNU Service

THE teachers dress is part Of
Il the classroom atmosphere. i
would say that 1t was a very large
part of it. The children look at the
teacher all day long. If what they
see is pleasant, if the cOlors are
bright, If the style is good, the pic
ture attractive, the children feel
better. Anything that makes them
feel better makes them do better.
The teachers dress affects them one
way or the other and for every
body's sake let us hope it is for the
better.
Bright red clothes are not for
classroom. A red costume would
stimulate a class out Of bounds.
The teacher would have bad day.
Red is cheerful but 1t has other
qualities that make it unfit for
school wear. Blue is always good.
The children love it.
Teachers ought not to wear
mourning clothes in the classroom.
If they feel they must wear them
they ought to be laid aside during
school hours.
Il Is our duty to make school q
cheerful, pleasant, place. Our trou-
bles, our disturbed feelings, our
prejudices are not to touch the
children II we can help II. We will
carry our ghosts with us and they
will make themselves felt to the
children without dressing the part.
We should leave our mourning at
home.
Children note the details Of the
teachers dress and these stay with
them. They become standards for
the children in school when they
are good. They become pivOts upon
which to hang personal dislike
when they are not good. have a
distinct memory Of a teacher who
wore brown tailor-made dress
with a narrow silk braid down the
seams. With the dress she wore an
orange bow at her throat. thought
her beautiful in that dress. never
think of her save In that gown and
the thought never fails to give me
pleasure. I wanted my clothes to
have that very clean, smooth, pleas
ing quality that was In hers. They
went so well with her fine face and
beautiful manner.
There is another picture ! have
In my memory. It comes every time
see an untidy. careless, colorless
person. A teacher gave me that
picture, too. She never had chance
to give me anything else. My ears
were closed against what my eyes
had pronounced unfit.
A teachers dress ought to he a
pattern, an inspiration, Joy to
the children In her care. Most of
the time we find them that way. II
is only the exceptional person who
offends. That one is too many.

n. Y. ASSEMBLY
TO VOTE PROBE
Of UTILITIES
Speedy Passage of Bills to
Give State Drastic
Control Predicted

ALBANY, April 2 G.N.S0.-With
the national spotlight beating
fiercly upon the New York State
capitol, members of the legiSla-
ture returned here uneasily today
to meet Governor Lehman's de-
mand for "a thorough-going legiS-
lative investigation of relations,
past and present, between public
utilities and anyone in the service
of the State government.
Although the governors chal-
lenge was motivated by revela-
tions before the Federal Trade
Commission of a close link be-
tween Senator Warren T.
Thayer, former Republican chair
man of the Senate PUBLIC Service
Committee, and powerful utll-
ity corporation, plans on foot to-
day indicated that the scope OF
the inquiry will be much broader
than an investigation of the
Thayer incident.
Senate Democrats, who con-
troll the upper house, are pre-
pared to fall in line promptly
with the governors insistence
upon a bold, vigorous and thor
ough investigation by the legis-
lature."
Bills to Be Passed
Speedy passage of the bills
urged by Governor Lehman to
give the State more drastic con-
troll over utilities was predicted
by Speaker Joseph A. McGinnies,
Republican boss of the Assembly.
Speaker McGinnieS revealed
that he had received scores Of
letters from all parts of the State
in the last week urging the Re-
publicans to oppose some Of the
Governors bills unless they are
amended.
Chief among the Governors
bills which the Republicans
would like to have amended are
those which would permit mu-
inequalities to own and operate
their own utilities; clothing the
Public Service Commission with
power to restrict the earnings Of
utilities to S per cent, and au-
thorizing the commission to as
seSs part of the cost of rate in
vestigations against the utilities.
Thayer Returns
Insisting he had no intention Of
resigning from the State senate,
Senator Thayer arrived at the
capitol today.
He wet directly to his office and
directed his secretary to search the
files for the letters purporting to
have been written by him several
years ago to the Associated Gas
and Electric Company which ex-
pressed the hope that his services
had been satisfactory" in killing
utility bills.

Mrs. insult Depressed;
Refuses to Comment

ATHENS. April 2 G.N.sO.-
Mrs. Samuel insult, i'll in bed
since yesterday, was depely de-
pressed today when informed the
Turkish government had arrested
her husband. She refused any
comment and gave orders she was
not to be disturbed.
It was understood the Greek
government was not likely to
make any representations to
Turkey regarding the arrest Of
insult other than to point out
the Greek government would act
similarly should similar circum-
stances arise involving a Turkish
vessel in Greek waters.
The question Of how the PreSi-
Dental warrant could be placed in
the hands of Turkish authorities
also was under consideration.
ExtraditiOn Seen
State Department officials were
hopeful it might be possible to
avoid the delay Of sending the
warrant to Istanbul by giving it
to the Turkish ambassador here.

willing to devote the increased
time to District affairs that this
procedure would seemingly con-
template, since the members Of
the Senate naturally want to be
members of committees whose
activities may directly affect
their States.
Work Cut Urged
The effective remedy is to re-
duce the amount of work before
the District Committee.
Congress should never be ex-
pected to handle all the affairs
Of q city the size Of Washington.
No city of 100000 and more in
habitantS, given any choice in
the matter, would ever want to
have it's destinies guided in
toto" by a national legislative
body which could, at best, give
real attention only to the vital
matters and which would have
to Let routine go along as best
Il could.
The district Commissioners are
appointed by the President, and
are responsible to him and to
Congress. They must be suita-
BILE appointeeS to be nominated
BY the President in the first
place. They can be trusted to
handle capably the vast amount
OF routine that now engages the
attention of Congress.
7 do not think Congress would
want to change the present Sys-
tenn Of government materially,
though it might be willing to
. have q District delegate on Capt.
6oa Hill to present the views Of
100000 WaShingtonianS. But I
think Congress would be more
than happy to gain relief from
the pressure of work forced upon
It by an arrangement which in
SiStS that even the most minor
Of District activities shall be di-
1ected by Congress.
Inefficient System
We are all interested in eff
cheney in government and in
responsiveness to the needs of
the people. The present arrange
Ment is neither efficient nor
sufficiently responsible. It should
be possible for the Washington
resident to go to the District
Commissioners and get a prompt
decision on minor matters. In
too many instances that is not
possible now.
I have tried to outline the
existing situation as comprehen-
sively as possible and to show
Just how it fails in respect Of
efficient and responsive govern
ment. 7 am disposed to think
that most Of my colleagues
you'd welcome a change that
would free them for national
matters and at the same time
promote speedy and competent
handling Of District affairs.

HARRISON SEES
BILL STOPPING
TAX LEAKS
Senate Opens Debate on
Revenue Measure to Raise
$50 Millions
BY International News Service


Congress is making a real ef-
fort in the next tax bill to halt
all leaks in the revenue laws
through which rich men have
avoided or evaded income tax
payments, Senator Harrison CD
of Mississippi told the Senate
late today in opening debate on
the measure.
Senator Harrison predicted the
"great mass of honest taxpayers"
would approve the bill. He said
the new income tax rates were
made lighter on small incomes, by
an allowance on earned incomes.
He said most of the $50 million
dollars of new revenue to be raised
by the bill would come from tighten
ing loopholes, through which taxes
had been avoided in recent years.
House Figure Raised
Senator Harrison explained the
Senate bill would raise 10 million
dollars more than the House bill,
or a total Of $50 millions. The Sen
ate increase will come mainly from
a capital stock tax, he said, which
is expected to raise 95 million dol
lars a year. He added:
"All this additional revenue is
badly needed by the Federal
Government in view Of the heavy
emergency expenses which must
be met.
although 1 should like to see
the elimination of many of the
excise or nuisance taxes, / do
not believe it is feasible to elm.
mate them earlier than July l,
1885, which is the date on which
many of them will be auto
matically repealed.
"The President in his budget
message anticipated additional
revenues of approximately $50
million dollars from the changes
proposed to be made by the new
revenue bill. The bill as reported
to the Senate complies with the
Presidents request with a slight
margin for safety.
INCOME TAX REVISED
"The committee did not change
the income tax rate schedule
provided for in the House bill
but did decide that additional
recognition should be given to
earned income.
"The House bill provided for a
credit against net income for
purposes of the normal tax equal
to 10 per cent Of the amount of
the taxpayers earned income up
to $4,000. The committee has
increased this maximum to
$4,000"

SENATOR SAYS
It IS DUTY Of
GOVERNMENT
Moral Obligation to Settle 100
Per Cent If Possible,
He Declares

= Restoration by the Government
Of money lost by the closing OF
banks was advocated today by
Senator William E. Borah (.RO OF
Idaho as a laudable means Of put
ting Sound, honest money" into
circulation.
Commenting upon the advan
tages of such step, the Senator
Gays:
DUTY OF GOVERNMENT
'T believe it q governmental
duty to protect depOsitOrs from
loss 50 far as possible and I do
not know of any better way Of
putting sound, honest money
into circulation than to restore
10 the people money lost in
banks.
'Tt is a perfectly sound method
OF relation and believe II 1t Is
possible to pay off depOsitOrs loo
Der cent It should be done"
MORAL OBLIGATIONS
Discussing the argument that
the Government m might lose
through giving such aid, he added:
1--WE are losing money ON
other plans adopted by the
Government to restore purchas-
ing power and here there is q
definite moral obligation be-
cause people were led TO believe
that national banks were safe
because the Government sane
toned charters and supervised
their accounts"
RELIEF BILL ON WAY
There is already q bank relief
bill in Congress providing for 100
per cent payoff to depoSitors. It
is that measure introduced by
Representative Clarence j. Nc
Leod (R.) of Michigan which au
thorizes the RFC to purchase all
assets Of closed national banks
and reimburse depositors.
Extensive hearings have been
held on the bill and it will be con
sidered tomorrow in an executive
session of the RFC subcommittee
Of the House Banking and Cur
Tency Committee.
