Increased Pay
For [ eachers
Urged by Gov.

Gov. James Fl. Price on last
Thursday spoke to statewide
radio audience on problems facing
the next general assembly when it
convenes in Richmond in January,
1910. Setting a precedent in Vir-
glnia, Gov. Price outlined the rec
concentrations he would make to
Virginia's body of lawmakers be-
fore the fall election, instead of
waiting until the legislature has
convened in formal session at
Richmond.
Gov. Price said: 'It is not my
purpose, within the brief limits of
this address to be exact in my rec
concentrations. My remarks are
to be construed more as an ex-
preston of the general trend of
the program which | hope to be
instrumental in presenting for the
consideration of the next general
assembly of Virginia and our peo-
pie generally" Proceeding fur
Their with his address, Gov. Price
spoke in no mistakable terms that
he favored from state resources
minimum salary for teachers of
not less than $720. Should the
assembly see fit to adopt this pro-
posal into law, the average an
nual salary of teachers in the state
of Virginia would be 5000. This
amount from the state would rep
resent maximum of 80 percent
of the total annual salary, the To-
cality being required to pay at
least 20 percent of the total sal
airy. This minimum of $72O from
state resources has long been adj
vocated by the Virginia Education
Association.
In addition to his recommends
ton on state education, the gov
ernor also discussed highways,
public health and labor relations
and said he would recommend fur
Their plans for the simplifcation of
government and the continuance
of the present fiscal policies.

Virginia was living within the
budget, and that there was every
indication that the state would be
able to close the biennium without
curtailing any appropriation.

Revenge Taken
on Appalachia
In 9 to O Game

Seeking revenge for the 5 to 8
defeat at the hands of Appalachia
and it's seven umpires a few weeks
ago, Clintwood turned on full
steam in every department of play
here on Sunday and smothered the
visitors by the score of to 0.
Kilby Fuller on the mound for
Clintwood, allowed but one hit,
this coming in the seventh inning
with the bases empty by Cowan,
Appalachia pitcher, who connected
for a triple. However, on the next
play he was trapped off third and
the threat ended. NJ
Although Fuller did not strike
out his usual number of batters.
his control was almost perfect and
he frightened in the pinches when
necessary. Throughout most of the
game only three batters faced him
each inning, retiring by popping
up or grounding out to the infeld.
The local started their offensive
in the first inning. Stanley, first
man up, was out at first. Hughes
then garnered his first hit of the
afternoon and perched on first
temporarily and crossed home
plate a few seconds later eon the
strength of Howard Deel's timely
triple to right field. In the sec
ond frame three more tallies were
chalked up. Jack Sutherland was
safe on an infeld hit and took
second on a wild throw at first
Graves flied out, but Gabe Elem
ing came through with a single
and advanced Sutherland to third.
Both scored later on triple by
Kilby Fuller. Fuller scored on
Hughes second hit of the day
In the fifth frame the locals again
struck paydirt. Deel was the first
out, shortstop to first. Poole was
walked and stole second. Tot
Sutherland safe at first on an in
field error. Jack Sutherland scored
Poole on a hit to center, advancing
Tot Sutherland to second. Both
runners scored on Graves hit.
Two more runs were added in the
sixth inning.

Set to Music

The gaiety attendant on the
holidays will find extended eX-
preston at the National Theater
on Monday evening, January 9,
when Beatrice Lille begins an
engagement as the star of Noel
Coward's new revue, "Set to
Music"
This sparkling bundle of en-
tertainment, now beguiling the
citizens of Boston, will remain
in Washington one week before
moving on to it's Broadway re-
ception at the Music Box Thea
ter under the production aus
pices of John C. Wilson.
Miss Lille, long a favored
visitor in the Capital, comes
especially well endowed this
time, for Mr.: Coward designed
"Set to Music" with her talents
specifically in mind. The star
is placed prominently in a ma
jority Of the songs and sketches,
which, in the light of Washing
tons previous regard for her,
may be taken as the best of
all possible news.
Advices from Boston bring
assurances that Mr.. Coward has
fitted her specialized comedy
exceedingly we'll, with Miss
Lille virtually running gamut
of characterizations, now as a
distrait hostess at a maSque,
again as a spy sowing havoc
among her infatuated dupes,
elsewhere as a nervous English
woman en- route to Bucking-
ham Palace for presentation"
Mr.. Wilson has surrounded
Miss Lille with players from
both New York and London.

he has imported Richard Hadyn,

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 8 G.N.SJ.
Preview audiences of 1889 will
be asked to become human
guinea pigs and allow machines
to record their emotions while
watching Hollywood stars per-
form on the screen.
The first studio to try the
experiment will be Warner
Brothers. Technicians of the
company already have completed
IL of the machines, a simple
form of cardograph, and have
tried them out in projection
rooms on the lot.
Next step will be to install
them in a theater where pre-
views are held for the press and
for the general public.
Operation of the reaction
testers involves no inconvenience
at all to the human guinea pigs.
You simply sit in a comforta-
BILE theater seat, with a narrow
band attached to your wrist, and
watch Bette Davis make love 70
George Brent, or Enrol Flynn
shoot it out with a gang OF
Western bad men.
Every variation Of your pulse
is recorded by the wrist band
and carried down a tube to the
basement of the theater where
a machine transforms 1t into a
scratchy line on a chart.
