CORNER SPOT EXTRA HIGH

The three major hotels on Penn
sylvania Avenue, the Raleigh, Will
lard and Washington, are charging
$40 day for front rooms, but you
have to take the room for at least
two days, including June 8, when
the King comes. The Washington
Hotel demands three-day booking
for $50 because it is on the corner
where the parade swings off the
avenue toward the White House SO
the customers get double-jointed
view.
Such prices for two-minute
glance at British sovereign APP
palled us so we went down to the
junkier portion of Pennsylvania Ave
nue. to see what there was to sell.
A King from any other window
should look as sweet.
Once you leave the big hotel dis
trict you find Pennsylvania Avenue
full of history, hook shops and beer
dens. One side of the street is grand
and gorgeous with the marble and
granite buildings of the famed Fed
eral Triangle, but the other is a
hodge podge of rusty, white-washed
ruins.
If you have a drag with some of
the Federal help with offices along
the happier side of the avenue, that
is nice-for you get grand view
for nothing. But those places are
in demand, what with a hundred
thousand job holders loose for the
big day.

 Connecticut" she went on, "has Q fine educational system, as we are told every time we attend meet ings of national organizations. But the teachers of Connecticut have e right to be reasonably sure of their jobs. At present teachers are afraid of many things that happen in many towns, things affecting their jobs"
 "The bill," Miss Lord concluded, would give Connecticut the best possible teachers, teachers who could do their best work without being worried about dismissal on grounds not at all connected with their efa- ciency. The classroom teachers of the state urge strongly the passage of this bill."
 Miss Lord was questioned briefly by several members of the educa- ton committee.

Dwyer, president of the Connecticut League of Teachers associations; Miss Frances Grace of the Waterbury Teachers association; Miss Loretto FitzPatrick, president of the Wa terbury Principals association; Miss Mary K. Finnan, Charles Woodlock, Frank Began, Miss Celinda Wakelee, Miss Helen Mcdonald.
 The judiciary committee deferred making reports after hearing yes- terday several bills introduced by Waterbury legislators. The reports will be submitted later in the ses- sion.
 The bills included one, by Senator George T. Culhane, allowing the Pine Grove Cemetery association to change Its charter, and another, by the same legislator, concerning changes in the present laws affect- Ing corporation stock.
 Two bills by Rep. Hugo 0uasta- ferri were also heard. One would amend c section of the general sta- tutes, the other concerns the ap- pearance of lawyers in compensa- ton or probate courts of the state.
