Pay Boosts For State En-
ployes Also Urged---
Sales Tax Inevitable
Seek More For Schools

Members of the legislature have
turned to studies Of administration
fiscal recommendations, including
IS per cent salary boosts for public
sch~ol teachers and other state mi
|ployes and generally increased state
services "all along the line"
Senate and house received the
budget revenue and appropriations
bills and the biennial report of the
advisory budget commission. The
senate also heard its clerk read fis-
cal recommendations of Governor
Ehringhaus but the house adjourned
before the chief executive sent his
message upstairs.
Committees of both houses have
been announced and all organiza-
ton completed. Lieutenant Gov
eminent A. H. Graham advised
the senators of their assignments
and Speaker Robert Grady Johnson
announced house committees to-
day.
In his money message Governor
Ehringhaus gave the General As
sembly free reign in its opinion
that re-enactment Of the three per
cent sales tax is inevitable" Elm
nation a present exemptions was
recommended in his message and
in the budget revenue bill. He in
sisted upon a balanced budget"

by sroppage of leakage and tight
Iening of administrative provisions,
the budgeteers estimate the revenue
bill will yield some $500, 600 more
during each year of the biennium
which starts July l., this year, than
it is doing at present. The governor
endorses that estimate.
Public schools would get $780,
900 of the anticipated additional
revenue and the remaining $1,o00,-
900 would be spread out among
other state functions. Most of the
entire amount would be consumed
by the suggested IS per cent up
ping of state payrolls.
Governor Ehringhaus, in his mes
sage, again declared against diver
sion of highway taxes but signed
his name to the budget report
which recommended continuance Of
a $1,ooo,ooo annual transfer from
the highway to the general fund.
The budget report met federal
demands for relief appropriations
by recommending that $1,500,000
be spent during each of the next
two fiscal years repairing "deterior-
ated' highways and providing new
employment.
When the highway budget was
completed it was found that some
100000 probably would be on
hand and a revolving fund" to
amortize highway debts was re-
commended by the budgeteers.

Washington. today presents a scene

The city is so crowded that many
of the new Senators and Represen-

impossible to get houses, apart
ments or even hotel accommoda-
lions within the reach of their
pocketbooks. Washington's attitude
toward the denizens of Capitol Hill
is that they are only transients,
anyway, and let them take a hall
bedroom if they can't find any
thing else. New members who
came expecting to be welcomed at
the station by a brass band and
flooded with invitations to social
affairs, are discovering that, no
matter how big they may be in
their home towns, they are only SO

One Of the frsts things a new
member learns, however, is that the
allowances above his salary are
worth conserving. There is moth
ing in law or custom to prevent a
Senator or Representative from
putting his wife, his son, his
daughter or other relatives on the
Federal payroll. Each member is
entitled to a secretary and to other
clerical help, and if he is a COM

All that is necessary for the

any of these bills get beyond the

 Paula was fluttering about now like brilliant butterfly. She wore a shade of lipstick that somehow went well with her red hair. Paula said. "It's your penalty for marrying a doctor. Deserts you at his own birthday party. You're looking sweet, Dana. That blue is a heavenly shade for you"
 Ronnie apparently was studying the glowing tip of his cigaret. He crushed it in a tray and came over to Dana, taking both her hands in his. "Yes, how do you do it?" he asked. Always manage to get the one dress"
 "The one dress is right" Dana smiled. T couldn't afford two dresses at the same tirne."

 Everybody looked so smart. The table was lovely, the stuffed an- chovy salad perfectly delectable. Only Scott was not here. He wasn't coming.

 Azalea had come and was in tht kitchen arranging the china fol the different courses. Scott wa keeping up cheerful accompani ment to his splashings. He alwayI whistled when he was taking z shower, which Dana found highly amusing.
 She had taken her bath earlier so there would be no last minute rush with her own toilet.
 Dana went to the dining room again and gave the table last ap- preciative glance before going back to slip on her dress. The table did look lovely.
 For the centerpiece she had chosen delicate pink flowers. Slen- der pink tapers would glow in the white Dresden holders that had been wedding gift. With her pretty crystal and china, the table would be a perfect picture.
 The telephone rang and, Azalea answered.
 Hope no ones falling down on us at this time of day." Dana thought. The call was for Scott.
 He came out of the bathroom with his robe on, looking immacu- late and nice. Dana gave him an approving glance from the dressing room door.
 Scott said briskly: "All right. Tell her I'll be there in 15 min- utes."
 He put down the phone and turned to Dana soberly.
 "An emergency" he said. "Ob- stetrical."
 "But you can't go!" Dana said, suddenly limp. Everybody will be here in a few minutes"
 Sorry, honey, but if Mrs. Law son decides to have her baby at this time, there's nothing I can do but go. I'm her doctor" Already he was getting into the old suit. Dana said "There must be somebody else who could ham, dle it for you"
 You little nitwit. You don't know thing about the profession, do you? Where do you Ghink your bread and butter is coming from, anyway"
 Scott's tone was teasing, but Dana flushed at the implication in his words. Just a dumb doctors wife was she? Or rather doctors dumb wife.
 Scott's eyes met hers. Cheer up, youngster. Maybe she's only having indigestion pains. Lots of times that's the way it works"
 T hope it will work that way this time" Dana spoke as cheer fully as she could. She had more contempt for self-pitying person than any other.
 Scott said, "So do I. I'd like to be able to attend my birthday din- ner. Especially when you've done such neat job with all the frills. And I'll bet the dinner is great" Tt is," Dana said. "Oh, Scott, please hurry back" "Righto." He tipped up her chin and kissed her. The door banged behind him.
 The house was quiet and lonely without him. But soon there was gay and bantering sextet. Dana had invited Nancy, who came with Ted Stansbury, and young Dr. Nicholson and his fiance, Esther Eaton. Bonnie had been invited because it was nice to be on friendly terms now. with the TO- mantle element left out. Bonnie was with Paula. Since Paula was Scott's friend of longest standing

EDUCATION. even well into the G 18th century in Europe, was confined mostly to the clergy and the nobility. when a Polish monk saw the need of spreading learning through the masses, before they could gain political advancement. The monk was Stanislaus Konar. ski, who lived from 1700 to 1773, and who founded Poland's educa. tional system.
 Studying the teaching methods of France and Germany, this Piar. ist monk returned to his country, and began training teachers in education. He founded boarding schools and colleges, he wrote school books. introduced debating societies, encouraged the drama, and himself wrote a tragedy, all for the education of the people.
 His work resulted in formation of the first ministry of public edu. cation in Europe, and one of the earliest in the world.
