J $166,493,990 PROFIT & MADE BY U.S. ON SHIPS, SAYS PAYNE

WASHINGTON. March 12. Government operations In the shipping business resulted in a net profit of $166,493,990 up to last June 20, Chairman Payne told the Senate merchant ma- ; rine committee, making public for the first time complete statistics covering this financial aspect. The revenue does not include unpaid ! balances due from other government ' departments, he said, adding that the i food administration owes the board about $15,000,000 and the War Department about $150,000,000. , On Feb. 1, he said, the board was operating 1,397 bottoms of 8,383.000 deadweight tons, including 1,046 steel cargo ships, 276 wooden vessels, 48 tankers and 16 refrigerator ships. A total of 158 companies, he said, neld operating charters for vessels owned by the board. On the first day of February, 209 ships were listed as "under repair," 135 "laid up for the winter" and 1,179 "in actual operandi.' No Money Asked. Not one cent will be asked of conn kgress bythe shipping board to complete its construction program. Chairman Payne said, since funds from operation and sale of ships will take ' care of estimated expenditures of $307,000,000 for the next fiscal year. 4Ie reiterated that the "government should get out of the shipping business ! as soon as possible, and stay out." "Very much too much has been said by private interests seeking to buy i ships," he remarked, "since some peo- : pie appear to have the impression that congress can be induced to force the I shipping board to sell its vessels for $100 or $150 a ton. This made many prospective purchasers hold off, but when the debate is over theywill move faster." City Lodges EAGLES. Plana are being made for an active I membership campaign to be started ; soon by Wayne aerie. Ten applications were received at the last meet1 infe of the lodge, and it is planned to ! obtain at least 100 more members be- ' lore the drive closes.

Helps Poland

IF yon have a particularly keen memory for things that are rather inconsequential as things go nowadays, you may remember that when William C. Redfleld became secretary of commerce in Mr. Wilson's cabinet, E. Dana Durand, (f , ,t cnlei of the census - bureau and a stad, tistician of over- - -'V i whelming ability and productivty, resigned. Today he is in Poland, active head it not the nominal head of the Polish food ministry. Poland has a ration schedule. She lives by iVia on 1 rr-xr on1 Yior u.uwvihan citUens are permitted to have a sufficient number of food calories every day to keep them fit to do their particular work in riveting Poland to a permanent place on the political map of the world. The diversion of ever so small a quantity of food from one section of Poland to another means that the first Bectlon is going to be hungry before the fixed time for the next meal, and there's liable as not to be a great deal of trouble among the populace. So it Is the Job of this exceedingly able but little advertised man to do the statistical work of apportioning food throughout Poland. He investigates living conditions for the "Polish government. He ascertains the reason for economic, political and social disturbances and sets these reasons forth in clear reports that the Polish cabinet can know what curative measures to adopt. Mr. Durand was born at Romeo, Mich., in 1871. He was assistant professor of administration and finance at Leland Stanford university, 1898-9; secretary United States industrial commission, 1900-2; special expert agent United States census office on street railways and electric light plants, 1902; special examiner United States bureau of corporations, 1907-9; director United States census, 190913. In the latter year he was named professor of statistics and agricultural economics at the Univefslty of Minnesota, a position he held until going to Poland. C r rs .. Although in 190 state, county, city and private normal schools a total of 11,503 fewer teachers on Nov. 1, than in the year previous to the war. is reported, Earlham college has weathered the general national situation and has at present more pupils than ever before, in the educational department, President David M. Edwards said Friday. Despite the contradiction at Earlham the national situation is desperate; it cannot be over emphasized," said the president. "These schools reporting a loss in teacher-pupils repreent 60 per cent of the total normal schools, and on this basis there would be a shortage of 19,170. At graduation time, 1920, there will be 7.Q00 fewer graduates from the normal schools, at tne very time when there should be more than ever before." President Edwards arrived at the college Friday morning, following several days in Philadelphia, New York and Boston. One hundred and fifty Earlhamltes are members of the Philadelphia club, a meeting of which he attended. Cecilia Chandler, of Dayton, was visited by her mother, Friday, Appointments to the Young Men's Christian Association cabinet for 1920 wore made public Thursday, as follows: devotional committee, Morris TomiJson; Bible study committee, Donald Snyder; missionary committee, James Thorpe; social committee, Paul Gordon; music committee, Hurford Crossman; deputations.

Tiny Mae Haines, organist at St James Methodist church in Chicago, will accompany her. Madame Arendt is a resident cf Chicago, married and a mother.

BREAK ICE WITH BOMBS. (By Associated Press) PORT DEPOSIT, Md., March 11. It Is believed today that efforts to break the ice-gorge in the Susquehanna river by bombing from airplanes will be successfu. Under the combined attack of the army aviators and a mild atmosphere the jam was loosened late yesterday to such an extent that a small amount of ice and backwater began passing out Into Chesapeake bay. However, the channel was not wide enough to assure that the ice would not gorge again and the airmen arranged to return again today and continue their work. " ' ' '

TEACHERS OF WHOLE U. S. ARE UNDERPAID By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 12. The country is faced with a serious shortage of school teachers, chiefly through failure to provide adequate salaries, according to reports to the United States Bureau of Education. Conditions are becoming slightly better, however, the report states, in some sections, compared with those of last October when the National Educational association conducted inquiry Into the situation. Based on returns from state school officials, the reports show, that on Feb. 13, last, there were 18,279 schools closed because of lack of teachers and 41,900 being taught -by teachers characterized as "below standard but taken on temporarily in the emergency." Greater shortages are shown to exist in southern states. Responding, to a questionnaire sent out by the commissioner of education a great majority of the states In which schools are closed report that children are being transferred to other districts, while the remainder report rupils losing the grade. Taxpayers Favor Increase. -To another question as to what extent taxpayers are interesting themselves in paying better salaries for teachers, the response was almost unanimous for an increase. Salaries paid teachers in 1918, statistics show, were on an average of $606 for elementary teachers and $1,031 for those teaching in high schools. From salary schedules collected from various 6tates, giving salaries received by individual teachers In these counties in each state, it is shown that wages paid rural teachers fell far below the foregoing average in many states, many localities showing salaries paid as low as $150 and $200 a year. Many nurses who served overseas under the direction and in the pay of the American Red Cross, are not eligible to. membership in the American Legion, according to a statement is.sued by Franklin D'Olier, national commander of the Legion, in which eligibility rules for women are explained. As all Richmond nurses, so far is is known, were members of the army nurses' corps, the ruling doe3 not apply here. "All women nurses who served in the nursing corps of the United States army or navy are eligible to membership in the American Legion," Mr. D'Olier says. The American Red Cross before and during the war recruited thousands of trained nurses, most of whom rere later enlisted in the nursing corps of the army or navy, on request made by the Red Cross nursing service. There yere, however, many who went abroad under the direction and in the pay of the American Red Cross, who are not eligible to membership. "All women members of the navy and marine corps who were regularly enlisted upon the same terms as the men in those branches of the service are eligible to membership in the legion. "Civilians who were simply civilian attaches of the military service and were not regularly- enlisted personnel under commission or enlistment contracts, are not eligible to membership. "The above applies to regular mem bership in the American Legion and should not be confused with member ship in the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion.

Not a hard-hearted, little worlding, with one virtue, one blood-corpuscle, and a determination to "live her own life," even though she may wreck everybody else's, Nor a scintillating puppet, who cannot open her lips, without splattering epigrams, for three pages at a stretch But a normal, human, living woman. Sane spontaneous, courageous, and fairly intelligent Yet gentler than a perfumed wind across a summer garden, Tenderer than a spring romance, daintier than old lace, and more feminine than ruffles and rosemary! A woman modern to the fingertips, filled with a new delight In work, and a reverence for her own ideals. Yet, still fragrant with old-lavender thoughts, and sweet with foolish little feminine impulses. A LIVE woman, ptilslng with warm heart-blood, high hopes, and glorious visions, eager for life and love Yet. not a morbid erotic sighing for soul-kisses!
