Prince Georges PTA
Urges $500 Increase
In Teachers Salaries

The county council of the Prince
Georges County Parent Teacher AS
ISOLATION yesterday requested $500
annual increase in teachers SAL
aries as a partial offset to in
creased living cost until stabliza-
ton permits permanent adjust
ment. 80 -
In d six-point program submitted
to the Board of Education, the coun-
Gil also asked that high school
principals be placed on a 12-month
employment status, instead of 10
with an appropriate salary
increase.
Other suggestions prepared by
Jerrold V. Powers and Mrs. Louis
Dittman, council president, include
allowance in the 1916 budget for y
third person to work in the super
visor Of attendance's office, and en-
ployment of clerical personnel in
each school with more than six
teachers, where the principal also
conducts classes.
The council asked the Board of
Education to furnish all supplies
needed by students. Mr.. Powers said
that under present arrangements,
students and the Parent Teacher
Associations purchase extra sup
plies requested by the schools. He
told Superintendent of Schools c.
Gardner Shugart the request was
made to assure sufficient supplies,
rather than as a financial request.
A specialist in speech correction
to assist handicapped students also
was included in the program.
Mr.. Shugart said the program will
be considered for the 1916 budget
which must be submitted to the
county commissioners for final ap-
proval.

Inc most unusual case, according
to DR.. Boyd, is unauthenticated, and
was brought to his attention last
night by DR.. John Parks, head of
the obstetrics department of the
George Washington University. 1t
was an obscure report of the birth
of twins weighing a combined total
of IS pounds. Ordinarily, twins
weigh from to pounds each, and
DR., Boyd pointed out the combined
weight of the Dionne quintuplets
was only 11l2 pounds.
Mrs. Hattie w. Sutton, colored
a midwife, of 6211 L street, Cedar
Heights, Md, assisted at the birth
She said the twins were the first
she had delivered in 20 years
experience. Within 20 minutes
after the Russ babies were born
Mrs. Sutton weighed them in
the presence of Foster Porter Russ
80, the father, and Mrs. S. N
Fowler, neighbor living at GOT
Sixty-second place, Seat Pleasant
Despite the fact 18 days had
elapsed since the births, DR.. Boyd
weighed the babies yesterday him
self. Allowing for the weight OF. a
thin garment worn by each of the
babies and weighing tray, DR..
Boyd found the boy twin now weighs
9 pounds ounces and the girl 9
pounds 2 ounces.
Although the twins weigh a lit
tie less now than they did at birth,
they scale SO close to 10 pounds
18 days after birth that must con-
cur with the three witnesses who
observed the weighing" DR.. Boyd
said. II think we can probably
agree the babies actually weighed
10 pounds when born"
The average baby" DR.. Boyd ex-
planned. loses approximately one
tenth of its weight in the first five
OF six days of its life, and usually
does not regain it until after two
weeks. In this case, the fact that
the twins have not yet regained
their lost weight may be due to
feeding"
DR.. Boyd said that records of CO.
lumbia Hospital, which specializes in
obstetrics, disclosed that the two
largest sets of twins born there in
the last 10 years could hardly ap-
proach the Russ babies in weight.
The heaviest Columbia twins only
weighed 8 pounds ounces and s
pounds Is ounces, and 7 pounds
Is ounces and Z pounds 4 ounces,
respectively, he said.
Mrs. Russ just got out of bed this
week and she and the twins are
progressing nicely. She has named
the twins Stanley Edward and Mar
lene Katherine. Mrs. Russ married
when she was II and has seven
other children, three of whom
weighed over 10 pounds at birth.

10 Speed Action
In Price Cases
Cooperation Asked
To Maintain CEILINGS
And Rent Control
BY tho Associated Press

BALTIMORE. Mar. 1.-The Mary.
land Office of Price Administra-
ton will act Immediately on BUSH
ness and industrial problems SUBJ
mitted in line with the new wage
price formula, State Director Leo
II. Mccormick announced TODAY.
Meanwhile, he asked for increased
public cooperation" to- maintain
ceiling prices and rent control, the
two most important factors in pre-
venting Nation wide imitation"
Mr.. Mccormick said the MARYLAND
OPA was determined" to prevent
production bottle-necks in SO far as
it came within the State Offices
authority, and added his Office would
consider and act on applications
for price adjustments individually.
Under the new wage-price provi-
sion manufacturers no longer must
wait six months after granting wage
increases to apply for price adjust
ment consideration.
Speedy Action Promised.
Under the new formula hardship
price adjustments will be acted upon
at once. This does not mean a
general price increase all along the
line to new high level" he said.
Price relief rejecting increased
wage costs will be given by OPA
only where it is needed according
TO OPA pricing standards which
require reasonable absorption of
cost increases. In each case action
Will be taken without delay. We
urge manufacturers to bring their
problems to us at once so that we
can act to help them Immediately
we must lose no time at this stage
When we have full production
SO that supply equals demand there
VIII no longer be any need of OPA
But that time has not vet come
Many commodities still are in short
supply; many are not yet ready for
the market"
Cooperation Urged.
Calling for public Cooperation in
ceiling price and rent control main
tenance, Mccormick said black
markets to-day are strong. They
represent serious threat to all our
efforts to prevent Nationwide in
nation. We've had good co-opera-
ton from the consumers and the
retailers during the war years and
since VI day"
He said enforcement activities
nave been increased and will be
further increased until 1.-The rack
eteers are wiped out" With the
FBI, Internal Revenue Depart
ment, Federal court officials and
other agencies bearing down on
black marketeers and price ceiling
vlolators, he said, don't be sur
prlsed If there are some pretty stiff
jail sentences imposed"
Discussing reported inventory
noarding, MIR. Mccormick said
there were "a few manufacturers
who were boarding their products
IN the hope that Congress will re-
move price ceilings.
Those not too good Americans
may be anticipating larger profits
than are now possible, but they are
very likely to be fooled"

said afterward:
Il was frankly amazed. There
are only three authenticated cases
on record that approach this in
stance"
These three were reported in the
Northwestern Medical Journal in
1888. In each case a set of twins
weighed a total of over Is pounds,
with the largest set scaling at 2O.2
