When she walked out Of there
she was the same person but she
didn't look it. People turned and
looked after her. A middle-aged
man was almost killed wnen he
walked through a red light follow
ing her. When she came to the
address Coward had given her for
Eric Zeitz, she thought there must
be some mistake. The building
was on 33d st. and it Sagged
drunkenly. But she found his
name-plate on the letter box and
walked up three flights. She en-
tered what looked like ware
house. It was dark and full OF
odds and ends. She was scared
and she had opened the door to
walk right out again, when .
harsh voice said:
what do you want, SiSter?"
She told the voice because she

what she wanted to do. She
thought that maybe she would go
on the stage as show girl. Or
maybe. she'd do some modelling
She had a hundred dollars and
q couple of letters of introduction
and one informing her that there
was q room reserved for her in the
Triune Arts, the heavily endowed
club for young girls who wanted
to study or work in New York.
She took UP residence in the club.
She brought around the letters
of introduction to the addresses
with absolutely no results. And she
spent most Of the hundred dollars
in three weeks on shows, ungodly
meals at ungodly hours, candy,
things to wear anG guide-book OF

THERE are those who say

biggest mistake of her life when
she gave up modelling. She
was top-flight. She never knew
what a dull season was. With
out working very hard, she
averaged more than a hundred

taking the dull seasons with

and then with, benefit of clergy.
And for what?
For q dizzy photog-. No, not
altogether. Say for love and honor
and the payment of a small debt.
But what does love get you when
you are old? And what does pay
ing debts get you when you're
broke? And what could be finer
than being kept for life, with or
without benefit Of clergy by a mil
ionaire playboy from Oklahoma?
NITA EXPLAINS
Nita says and thinks that what
she did answers all these ques-
ttons.
Nita came out of iowa. She had

The next time Phil made his

Nita turned him down cold on it.
Again she went down and told
Eric and Eric, with a good deal
Of irritation, said:
Listen. Nita, do you want to
stop heels from annoying you?"
And when she admitted she did,
he said, "All right. I'll marry you
myself. I got lot Of work to do
with you and I can't be inter

"Yes. And there won't be any

clean and neat. When she came
out in it, he went into new costa

and shot pictures Of her as he
lay on his back. He climbed up a

angle. When he finished, he said,

She went away from there, con-
vinced that John Coward was
right when he said Eric Zeitz
was crazy. Her conviction was
strengthened when she went after
the finished pictures. He didn't
remember her. But when she re-
called herself to him. he Lit up

Meanwhile, she had been hit

friends of artists. Among these
was Phil Burdex, the millionaire

her out, Phil said he didn't see
how he could go on living without

pretty sudden but she wouldn't t

NEW PAY RATE FOR TEACHERS
RECOMMENDED
County superintendent Propose
Minimum Schedule-WOuld
Add 1884, 900 To Budget

A new minimum salary schedule
for white teachers in the Maryland
schools which would add $3S4,OOO
to the State budget has been recon-
mended by a committee of county
school superintendent.
The committee, in a report Whlcr
was approved by the County School
teachers Association, said the exist
ing salary schedule, enacted in 1872
is inadequate.
A bill providing for the new min
imum salary schedule will be intro
duced in the Legislature.
"The present low State minimum
schedule in Maryland" the report
said, sis the amount paid to teach
ers and principals in nearly two
thirds of the counties. There is
considerable doubt that this sched-
ule is attracting or will attract a
sufficient number of the best young
people to the teaching profession,
especially for the elementary schools,
as evidenced by the present small
enrolment in the State Teachers
College"
The committee said the $500
white teachers in the State could be
placed under the new schedule at a
cost of $384,00O a year, Approx
mately $418,OOO would be needed
to include the 500 Negro school
teachers under the existing schedule
and an additional 100000 to in
clude them under the proposed
schedule, the report said.
Negro teachers at present are paid
at a different rate from white teach
ers, it was explained. Validity of the
law providing different salaries for
Negro teachers has been questioned
in a recent suit in Federal court and
if the present law is declared uncon-
stitutional a new schedule would
have to be enacted.
Salaries under the proposed sched-
ule would be apportioned according
to the professional preparation the
teacher has undergone and not ac-
cording to the grade or class the
teacher instructs.
inexperienced teachers, classed as
elementary assistants, are paid $950
while under the proposed schedule
they would receive $1,000 if they
should not have a degree and $l,20O
if they should have degree.
Under the present schedule ele-
mentary assistants with seven to
eight years experience get $l,5OO
a year. The new schedule would pro-
vide the same salary for teachers
without degree but 5000 more for
those holding degree.

WHY PERIODIC NEW CAR
MODELS?

Throughout the length and bread
tn of the land--in small towns as
we'll as in large cities millions of
people for weeks have been examin-
ing the new cars of the various
automobile companies.
This new model period has be-
come somewhat of an institution.
as might be expected in country
where there is car for every five
persons.
Yet often the question is raised
why this industry introduces peri
odic new models. Part of the bus
mess philosophy back of this Gus
tom is obvious, part of it, not SO
clearly understood by the general
public.
An analysis of this procedure oil
the industry was sent recently by
General Motors to employees, point
ing out why this custom of the in
dustry is such vital factor in its
progress. 1t Is quite Illuminating.
1t is easy to group, for instance,
as pointed out, that this custom
is a good guarantee that the indus
try will not go to sleep but will
stay youthful and progressive. 1t is
also to understand how the new
models, offer a new and better
value, provide an incentive to buy
for those who can SO afford.
But this is not the whole story.
New models serve the public in an
other way. About one-third of the
automobiles sold each year are new
cars, the other two-thirds are used
cars. Thus the used-car market is
twice as large as the new car mar
ket.
And here is that part that is not
generally grasped. The new car pur-
chases establish a flow of used cars
to this large used-car market-cars
having thousands of miles of unus
ed transportation, at reduced prices,
extending the advantage of owner
ship to millions of families that could
not otherwise participate. 1T seems
logical to conclude, therefore, that
the practice of periodic new models
has been an important factor in the
growth and prosperity of this bus
mess, and has resulted in broaden
ing of car ownership in this coun-
try and consequent cres ton of
employment.
The broadening of car ownership
is indicated by the fact that in 1904
there was only one car for every
334 families in this country while
in 1887, there was better than i
in 1887, there was better than
car for eight out of 10 families.
Seven out of ten cars in the world
are owned in the United States.
Automobile factory jobs have gr1wn
during this period, from $4,000 III
1904 to $4,000 in 1924 and 517,-
900 in 1887.

FARMING WITH MACHINES

: The nations farmers are finding
much mere time for diversion from
their agrarian duties.
According to A. w. Clyde, asso-
.iate professor of agricultural en-
cheering at Pennsylvania State
College, machinery has increased
the efficiency of the modern farmer
as much as 20 times.
With methods used at the turn
of the century, farmer had to
expend almost "a hours in labor to
grow an acre of corn, Clyde said.
With the latest farm equipment the
farmer can produce an acre of corn
with five hours labor.
The modern farm tractor has done
to today's agriculture followers
what the steel pillow did in the 18th
century, Clyde asserted.

STATE ROADS COMMISSION ASKS
FOR TWENTY.sIx MILLIONS

The State Roads Commission is
seeking approval of 1940-41 bud
get totaling approximately $4,000
900.
The amount, which includes FED
eral allotments but not expenditure;
in Baltimore, represents an increase
of more than $8,0OO,0O0 over the
last budget of $17,532,S61.
Roads Commission officials Dis
cussed their budget with Hooper S.
Miles, State Treasurer and Joseph
O. G. McCusker, Deputy State Comp
troller, members of budget COM
mittee appointed by Governor-elect
O'Conor.
The committee, after a lengthy
session, wound up it's hearings on
budget requests of State depart
ments, and turned all the material
it had gathered over to Mr.. O'Conor.
The Governor-elect Immediately
began reviewing the appropriation
requests and will make final altera-
tions. He will have to study more
than 5000 items which will make
up the budget.
The budget committee discussed
appropriation requests of the Uni
versity of Maryland with DR.. H. G..
Byrd, president.
Funds sought by State-aid institu-
tions, which were included in re-
port of the Board of State Aid and
Charities, also were studied.
The State Roads Commission bud
get has been studied for sveral days.
Federal allotments now available
for the next biennium total about
$2,5OO,00O. Expenditures in Balti-
more during the last two-years
period were approximately $4,000
600, and this figure is expected to
be exceeded in the next biennium.

CONGRESS CoNvENEs
J. e. Jones

Washington, d. c., Jan. 16-All
of the wheels of Government are
again in motion. President Roos-
evelt delivered his message to Con-
gress in person and it was very
noticeable to us here in Washington
that the Chief and the Congress
aren't as chummy as they used to
be. The Head of the Government de-
Tended his past, with the usual
eloauence, and didn't go back on
nothin'."
Arguing to the effect that the ma
tional income could be raised from
so billion dollars year to 80 bill
lion by continued U. s. spending,
the President let Congress under
stand that he expected continued
support for all his social and econo-
mic policies, including the new med
ical care and health proposals.
These, it is believed in Washing
ton, contemplate new Department
of Health with new Cabinet Of
fetal in command.
REORGANIZATION VI luo HONCi h1AOhI
and continued extension of Fed
eral control over State and local
authority was sketched in the Pres
ident's message.
On the whole there seemed to be
no sign of compromise between the
President and his opponents in
Congress.
In opening his address the Pres
ident stressed the Importance of
arming for protection. Upon that
issue there is no indication of a
division along political lines.
In all probability the President
cannot succeed with any must" de-
mands on Congress, and likely he
will refrain from making them.
But the President didn't ASK Con-
gress,-he TOLD them!
That part of the public that
thought the battlefields of the po-
liticians had been strewn with roses
will soon be listening anew to the
wars of Washington.
