GARFIELD TEACHER QUITS; SAYS SALARY IS NOT SUFFICIENT W. V. Cottingham, who has been a member of the Garfield faculty for several years, has presented his resignation, effective June 1, to the board or education. Mr. Cottingham is one of the - first local teachers to take definite action during the spring semester because of low salary paid in his profession. He explained Thursday . that he will enter business, for no other reason than that it pays more. In his address to the High School Commercial club Thursday morning J. J. Harrington, Jr., spoke highly of the worthiness of teachers and said he vas perfectly willing to pay more taxes that teachers might be paid justly and be able to live In a way fitting to their service to the com- . munity. ; A dispatch from Marion. Ind.. states that the petition of the teachers In . the Marion city schools for an ln- ; crease in pay has been met by a ready I response by the local school board, which has granted an average salary raise of 25 per cent, and made the school year ten months in length instead of the customary nine. The raise in viy goes into effect April 1 and effects 127 teachers. Increase at South Bend After -weeks of agitation on the part '- of the South Bend Teachers Federa- - tion, the board of school trustees has adopted a new salary schedule, which ".: fixes the minimum salary of the lowr est class teacher in the city at $1,000 ; a year and the maximum of the hlghI est class teacher at $2,400. ; The new schedule, which was ; drafted by Superintendent W. W. Bordea and a committee of six teachers from the federation, provides for an approximate increase of 33 1-3 per cent In the salaries of all teachers . over and above the increase of $400 granted recently and payable at the I end of the present school year.

Flower Sales Increase, Prices of Blooms Drop, Say Richmond Florists While nearby cities have seen the price of flowers fluctuate and soar, Richmond's flower lovers have been unusually fortunate, florists declare, in having numerous greenhouses in the city which are a continual source of supply without the addition of shipping expenses. Prices everywhere are high. They are high In Richmond, but they have never been as high here as elsewhere. Never in the history of any local florist have as many flowers been sold as during the past year. Increase in sales during the past year is estimated at from 50 to. 100 per cent. For some uncertain reason people have suddenly since the war come into a realization of the acute pleasure of flowers. People laboring under sorrow, people blessed with many joys have felt the same emotion stir them according to the florists. Prices are not going up, but down, and in Richmond this decendency is already noticeable, it is said. Prices today are not as high as a month ago and the time is at hand when they will be considerably lower. For the most part flowers are plentiful. They are American flowers, too. Since the national quarantine on Importation of rooted plants for fear of spread of plant diseases prevalent in some foreign countries, American growers have set about supplying the demand, which they had before filled partly with imported blossoms. At present only a few types of bulbs can be brought into the country. Azalas and other Belgian plants have not appeared on the market for some time, except in cases where advance supplies were on hand.

CHICAGO EMPLOYES STILL OUT; FIREMEN MAY QUIT IN BODY

CHICAGO, April I Fifteen hundred striking city hall employes and other municipal workers remained out today despite passage of a budget providing pay increases of 10 per cent and the city faced a further threat of withdrawal of fire protection through wholesale resignation of city firemen. A blanket resignation effective April l; bearing 500 names, was in

the hands of the firemen's committee when other members of the force, met today to consider the increase of $192 voted by the city council. The firemen have presented demands for a general increase of $300 a year and leaders declared that three-fourths of their number would Join in resigning unless the full demand was met.

City officials announced that should :

the city be endangered by a depleted fire fighting force, state militiamen would be called to man fire apparatus. Soma hope that the strike crisis might be ironed out sprang from the announcement that Mayor Thompson would appoint an arbitration commit

tee today, composed of department j heads and aldermen.
