group agreed to the following proposals to be submitted to
the 1850 Legislature:
I. SCHOOL NAN
j. Appropriations
An appropriation of ~$37000000 for the support of the
common schools during the next biennium to be divided
equally between the per capita and equalzing funds. The
increase of two million dollars over the current biennial
appropriations is necessary to provide for the equalization of
transportation for negro students living beyond the two mile
limit. Provision for this phase of equalization has now be-
come a necessity.
An additional appropriation of Ss.600.O00 as a special
emergency adjustment fund to be used to equalize salaries Of
white and negro teachers on a fair and equitable basis as
set forth in number two below.
z. Allotment Plan
The allotment from the equalization fund to each county
and separate district would be in such an amount which

the equivalent of a 10 mill countrywide levy would provide
that county or separate district with sufficient funds to meet

1t should be pointed out that the actual paying scale is

The S9.600000 in this fund would be used for equalizinq

allotment scale as set forth in Section Two. 1t should be ex-

emergency appropriation is absolutely necessary. if the allot-
ment scale in numbed two above is to be attained. Without
this additional amount. the salaries of white teachers will
be reduced drastically next year.

A Word To The Wise.

Sometime ago I coined the term
"stoplights of speech" to designate
those pronunciations or mannerisms
which snap the listeners attention,
and cause his mind to switch from
what is being said to how it is being
said. I chose the word "stoplight"
because it accurately describes the
manner in which the listeners mind
puts on the brakes and comes to a
full stop the instant a speaker or
broadcaster uses an erroneous pro-
nunciation, or indulges in any
linguistic trick that is unorthodox,
pompouS, or affected.
This is an extremely important
fact of which all public speakers
need to be frequently reminded.

ing point after another. But sud-

finest oils are from Brazil.
While machinery has replaced
much hand labor, in connection
with the bahassu industry, nothing
has been found as satisfactory as
the former method of removing the
shell from the kernel as of accom-

around great pile of nuts with an AK

strong stick they tap the nut on the
ak blade. A worker removes a
kernel every As seconds.
The nuts grow on long sturdy
stem much like a giant pine cone.
This cone weighs about 88 pounds.
The ripe nuts fall to the soft ground

to harvest the fallen nuts. The nuts
yield 81 per cent oil.

Goren on Bridae

Safety plays follow no fixed pat
tern. Some Of them are designed
to avoid the hazards Of q fnesse.
Others are calculated to overcome
the hardships of a bad break by
the taking of a very deep finesse.
In today's hand, however, we seem
to come face to face with a para
dox, for declarer, as a safety
measure, takes a finesse in order
to avoid the risk of another finesse.
This sounds rather confusing, but
before we get down to an analysis
of the play. let us look for a min
ute at the bidding.
North opened with one diamond,
his longest suit, and after South's
takeout to one spade made a jump
raise in that suit. On the basis of
high cards only, North's jump
raise would be on the sketchy
side, but on the basis Of playing
strength, North had more than
enough to justify a double raise.
A student intent on precision will
observe that the North hand is
worth 10 dummy points in support
of spades. The void suit, which is
valued at five points, brings the
hand into the upper brackets.
South. having a good opening
bid facing partner who had
opened and jumped, had little
doubt that the hand would pro-
duce slam, but in view of the
splendid fit and wealth of controls
decided to probe for a possible
grand slam by showing the ace of
diamonds. North returned the
compliment by displaying the ace
of hearts, whereupon South con-
tracted for a small slam in spades.
The king of clubs was opened,
which declarer ruffed in dummy
and then drew the outstanding
trumps in two rounds. 1t was time
to develop the diamond suit and
declarer realized that with a hold
ing of nine cards in a suit the play
for the drop was slightly superior
to an attempt to flnesse. If the
diamond queen failed to drop. de-
clarer still had open to him the so
per cent chance that the heart
f1nesse would work. If both these
efforts failed, it would seem that
declarer should simply charge the

Serkin Gets Ovation
At Library Concert
By Elena de Soyn

The Coolidge Auditorium in the
Library of Congress was again the
scene of a special concert last
night. This time program was
given in celebration of the Ses-
quicentennial year of the Library
and to observe the fifteenth an
niversary of the Gertrude Clarke
Whittall Foundation. Rudolf Ser
kin, noted pianist, whose connec-
ton with the Foundation is of
long standing and whose hold on
the Washington public has grown
from year to year, was chosen to
give the first of the concerts in
honor Of the event.
The hall was filled to capacity
with professionals and patrons of
music. The atmosphere was tense
with interest and anticipation,
and whenever Mr.. Serkin paused,
the stiffness that prevailed was
80 great that one could have
heard a pin drop. Such deafen-
ing applause that rewarded him
after his performance of Bee
thovens "Waldstein Sonata" and
Schumann's Symphonic Etudes"
is reserved only for the elite.
1t was as great a performance
of the sonata as that given by him
at one of Mrs. Townsend's Morn
ing Musicales years ago. OF the
many heard here since, Mr.. Ser
kin's holds supremacy for his con-
cept of it's architectural design
and for his penetration of its con-
tents. The sonata was written
after Beethoven's tragic realiza-
ton Of his approaching deafness,
1t is powerfully dramatic from
the opening measures to the bold
ending of the final rondo and
places great demands on the
executant in every respect.
There are not many pianists
who can play the octaves in the
concluding prestissimo In such a
beautiful glissando manner as did
Mr.. Serkin. Nor are there many
who can immerse themselves 50
completely into the work as to
become a spokesman for the COM
poser. One could but marvel at
the artists powers of discern
ment and concentration.
A marked distinction in styles
characterized Mr.. Serkin's ap-
proach to the other three works
on the program. He brought out
the naivete and the charm IN
Haydn's Sonata in E-f1at Major,
No. So; the dignity and variety
contained in each of the obsolete
dances in Bach's French Suite
IN G Major, No. S." and stressed
the difference between the classic
and the romantic schools in Schu-
mann. His touch has gained in
warmth and poetry. his readings
In profounder musical insight.
The tumultuous ovation accorded
him, and the number of recalls.
pointed emphatically to his un-
failing popularity with the Lii
brary's audiences.

On the verge Of executing this
line of play, declarer suddenly
realized, after cashing the ace OF

to assure the fulfillment of the

of the queen of diamonds and the
king of hearts. When West played
the ten of diamonds at the second
round of that suit, there is only one
diamond missing, and that one is
the queen. BY finessing the jack

finesse should win, declarer has

pleasure of leading and whatever
he leads presents declarer with a

If East returns a club, declarer

his hearts in the closed hand. The
other heart goes on the long dia-
mond. If he returns a heart, OBJ
