TEACHERS PAY
BOOST URGED
IN COUNTY

BETHESDA, Md, March "a
salary increase of 500 a year for
each of the 377 teachers in the
white public schools of Montgom-
cry county was urged in resolu-
ton adopted by the Montgomery
County Civic Federation here last
night.
This recommendation of the fed
Grafton, unlike that of few weeks
ago urging a pay increase for
members of the county police
force, requires no legislative &C.
tion, but rests with the Board of
County Commissioners, it was
pointed out.
Hopes More Boosts
Vernon H. Brewster, chairman
Of the school committee which
presented the resolution at last
nights meeting, said that, while
it is hoped eventually to bring
the Montgomery county teachers
salary schedule up to that now in
effect in Washington, in view of
the expected increase in the school
budget next year to cover teach.
ers' salaries, the $100 increase is
all his committee favors at this
time.
At present, Brewster pointed
out, an attempt is being made to
have the salary schedule of teach
erS in the colored schools of the
county increased to equal those
of white teachers. This would
necessitate an additional expendi-
ture of $4,000 if placed into ef-
feet next year.
More Teachers Needed
In addition to this, new schools
in the county now nearing compile
ton and increased enrolment of
students will necessitate an ex-
penditure next year of approx
mately $4,000 for additional
teachers.
The regular increases provided
for teachers annually will cost an
additional $4,000. These items
alone will make an increased ex-
penditure of $4,000 necessary
next year, according to Brew
ster's figures.
The proposed salary increase
would cost the county an addi-
tional $4,000 for white teachers
and approximately $4,000 for col
ored teachers, which will bring
the figure above 100000 for 1888.

PARLEY SHOWN
NOVEL LIGHT

Something new in traffic lights
was shown to Washington yester-
day at the annual convention Of
the Middle Atlantic division of the
National Municipal Signal AsSocia'
ton, held jointly with the George
Washington chapter Of the Inter
national Association of Electrical
Inspectors in the auditorium OF the
Potomac Electric Power Co.
Modernistic in design, the new
light is made of aluminium and
equipped with combination lenses
which direct the red and green
lights to right and left as well as
forward to aid pedestrians. The
yellow of caution light, however,
is equipped with unique hood
unlike those used in the District
which increases its visibility for
the approaching car and shields 1t
from the waiting motoriSt.
Also displayed for the first time
for Washington, Maryland and Vir-
ginia municipal electrical inspec-
tors and engineers, was a small
town" fire alarm system, which
was received in electrical circles as
being the outstanding electrical
achievement of 1886. Operated
much in the same manner as those
in the District, this system was de-
signed for use in towns or large
factories requiring only 20 or Is
signal stations. Many technical in
tricacies, it was pointed out, have
been omitted.

Eggs are nutritious and per-
feet for summer menus. There
are certain principles that
must be observed in their
cookery, however, if they are
to be at their best. All eggs
must be cooked at a. low tenn
perature.
The reason for this according
to the Federal Bureau of Home
Economics is to coagulate the egg
at a low temperature in order to
prevent the protein from becom-
ing tough and less digestible.
The same principle holds true
in cooking the omelet. A very low
fire is needed. If you have been
afraid to make them then you
are being unnecessarily cautious
as they are simple to prepare.
One of the tricks is to serve
them just as soon as they are done
and not wait even one minute.
The fluffy omelet should be airy
and light.
If it stands it will fall to a pan
cake consistency. The fluffy ONE
let is always served with a sauce
and folded in half before serving.
A French omelet is more simple
to make. It is fiat and should be
rolled and served with a Spanish
or vegetable sauce.
In making the French omelet.
the eggs should be beaten whole
with little milk, salt, and pepper.
Then should be cooked on top OF
the stove in a skillet with a tight
fitting lid. Cook only until a
Jelly like consistency. These ONE
lets are usually served in France
with a sauce made Of herbs.

fluffy separate the yolks and

Wave Lotions
Popular
BY DONNA GRACE

There is always some difference
Of opinion when 1t comes to the
use Of wave lotion. While the great
majority of hairdressers like to de-
pend on 1t, there are q few who
do not even have it in the shop
at all.
From our own experience we be-
Heve it really makes a better wave,
especially for the permanent wave
that is inclined to be too curly,
and also for the hair that needs
training.
Wave lotion should be smooth
and of thin fluid consistency
that will not leave hard or flaked
surface when the wave is dry.
An expert hairdresser can easily
design a wave and an elaborate
hairdress with only plain water to
wet the hair, but water is not SO
satisfactory for the smooth and
more lasting wave every girl ex.
poets when she takes the time and
spends the money for a hairdreSS.
Hair that has been waved with
only water viii seldom retain the
wave after a brisk brushing, and
all waves should be set well enough
to brush, as this is the treatment
to refine and stimulate the hair
itself.
The better shops all use q
smooth, thin lotion, and if your
hairdreSser is still working with
the old-faShioned sticky, flaky
kind, just tell him to thin it with
warm water or to supply himself
with the better, smooth grade.
Have a bottle of lotion at home
and try it yourself for an coca
sional home "Hairdo." It will be
fun, and then you will realize how
much patience and practice are
necessary to be a really good hair.

To make it all more authentic,
let's quote from the new Harper's
Bazaar. the June issue. Their
opening editorial, called "The
Pulse Of Fashion" goes like this:
Three months ago we printed on
this editorial page the first short
evening dress-the soubrette dress
by Schiaparelli, butterfly-printed,
starch.petticoated, fresh as paint,
but alluring only as a possibility
since no one was willing to lay
any heavy odds that it would be
more than a flash in the pan. To
day we looked through the tens
of dozens in town, to find this
the perfect model, to record a
tendency become fact. 1t is true
that the short skirt was first eyed
askance. Then suddenly it ex-
ploded. California ordered and re-
ordered and sold it by the dozen.
New York followed suit. The Prln-
cess Poniatowski and Mrs. Regl-
nald Fellowes' daughter, Comtesse
de Casteja, wore them in Paris.
Madame Fabre Luce was seen IN
Maxim's in one. Mrs. Ronald Bal
com wears them in all colors in
her chalet in Austria. Miss Grille
Camperio wears them in Italy.
And in New York, such ultra
smart women as Mrs. Byron Foy
and Mrs. Shevlin Smith or
such decorative young girls as
The Washington times., 1937-06-02

Miss Dorothy Fell and Miss
Eleanor Young are swirling about
in them. There are now repercus-
sions from Paris-in the word
that Channels new evening dresses
stop ABOVE the ankle-bone, and
that at schiaparelli and Main
bocher dresses are slipping up, UP,
up in 'front.'"
AND IN WASHINGTON
Bringing this all UP to date
in our own town, it is even more
significant that one of our lead
ing stores devoted whole window
of precious space to evening gowns
above the ankle few days ago.
They were not little summer
dirndls that looked like May Day
dresses, or that might have been
meant for kid parties. They were
Satins and taffetas, serious eve
ming gowns that women Of dignity
will wear to official or other for
NAL gatherings.
We've reported before that Mrs.
Warfield, to be the Duchess of
Windsor, has several shorter eve
ming gowns in her trousSeau. No
doubt those from Schiaparelli and
Mainbocher, which Harper's Ba-
zaar mentions, as she has bought
clothes from both houses.
WATCH-FOR AUTUMN
And so we give the fashion an
other bit of publicity, for it is
pretty sure to be well on it's way.
And why not? We are so much
more comfortable for dancing if
our gown does not sweep the floor.
It's true that lovely long gowns
are romantic and graceful, but
we've had them for several years
now, and it's time to change. So
watch-and be sure to try a
shorter evening gown before you
decide on your next.

of these omelets should be cooked
slowly to allow them to set.
Roll the French omelet with two
spoons and serve from a chop
plate with a garliSh Of parsley or
watercress.
Many chefs find that the fluffy
omelet is best if it Is cooked on top
of the stove until set, then placed
in the oven for a few minutes to al
low the top to dry out. In serving
the fluffy omelet hold the skillet
in the left hand, with the thumb
of your left hand out to the
handle. Then take the Spatula
and crease it in half, across in the
center. Fold the lower half over
the upper half and turn out on a
chop plate. The sauce should be
spread over the omelete before it
is folded.
This Spanish omelet is delicious
and quite festive looking. A sauce
can be made quickly by adding
chopped green peppers and onions
to condensed tomato soup.
