PLEAD FOR DISTRICT
SCHOOL TEACHERS
Five Organizations Make Rec
ommendations for Raises to
Board of Education.
Urging basic pay increases for school
teachers in the public schools of the
IHstrict and in nearly all cases pro
viding for a minimum not to be lower
than $1,000 per annum, resolutions from
three citizens' associations, one home
and school association and one parent
teachers' club were presented to the
board of education at its semi-monthly
meeting yesterday in the Franklin
School. Organizations -which presented
pleas for more pay for teachers were
Georgetown Citizens' Association, Han
dle Highlands Citizens' Association, Co
lumbia Heights Citizens' Association,
the Home and School Association of
l^angdon, D. C.. and the Parent-Teacher
Club of the Garnet-Patterson-Phelps
6chool group.
With the request for more money for
teachers the Georgetown Citizens* As
sociation urged the passage of the re
tirement law for teachers, which at the
time the resolution was drawn up had
not been acted on by Congress.
A request from the American Library
Association asking that the pupils in
the high schools of the District be
urged to assist in collecting books for
soldiers and sailors during national
collection week, March 18-25, was
granted. Pupils of the schools will
co-operate in every possible way with
library officials. It is probable that
pledges will be distributed by library
officials to be given to the pupils to
pledge themselves and their families to
give a certain number of books.

The Workday World.
While we are bent and sweating
beneath our war-time cares, let s
not be quite forgetting every-,
dav affairs. The spring will be ar
riving before we wist or wot, and
we should all be striving to have a
warden plot. Oh, spade the gar
den under, spade every knoll and
tor, and grow string beans like
thunder, for beans will win the,
war. The spring is fast approach-1
ine, with mild reviving rain, and,
conscience should be broaching a
cleaning up campaign. Oh, let us,
neighbors, rally to bear the trash
away; the dead cat in the alley,
the scattered leaves and hay,
there'll be a plague to swat us and
mow our numbers down if we
don't hump, dod rot us, and
brighten up the town. In lan
guage highfalutin we may, when
work is done, denounce the toot
ing Teuton, whose course will
soon be run. But such a course
is dubbish when there is work to
do; we should be carting rubbish
the noisome alleys through.
Now comes the season vernal
and we should all prepare to plant
a seed or kernel, or raise a Bel
gian hare; to make two succo
tashes grow up where one has
grown, that is the stuff that,
smashes the kaiser from his
throne. Oh, buckle down, fair!
neighbor, though toil you may
abhor; get down to useful labor,
for work will win the war.

SENDING FISH NORTH.
Fishermen, Lacking Transportation
Here, Ship to New York.
Spring fisheries on the Potomac river
and its tributaries are now in full op
eration. Owing to the fact there are
no steamers running from this city to
the section of the river between Poto
mac creek and Colonial Beach, most of
the catch is being sent to Frederifcks
burg and from there by rail to Phila
delphia and New York.
Haul seines are being fished by Capt.
Faunce and Capt. Neitzey at "Windmill
point; at Marlborough, by Capt. Jake
Faunce; at Passapatany, by Capt. Rob
ert Jennings, and at Potomac creek, by
Capt. Bowie and the Allen brothers.
Trap nets are also being fished in Po
tomac creek by L*ee Newton, A.- B. New
ton and Alonzo Newton. Farther up
the river, traps are in position in the
vicinity of Glymonf, Gunston and in Oc
coquan and Pohick creeks.
So far the catch has been good. Th#j
supply Teceived here is growing larger
daily. * " * ?
HIGH COST-OF UNIFORMS
HITS CAPITAL POLICE
Increase in Prices May Handicap
Maj. Pullman's Idea for
Larger Force.
High price of police uniforms prom
ises to prove a serious handicap to
members of Maj. Pullman's force
guarding the National Capital. Re
sponses to bids solicited by the depart
ment show a* increase of 130 per cent
in the cost of some garments, and it is
feared the high cost of uniforms may
interfere with Maj. Pullman's drive to
recruit the force to its full strength.
It also may mean some members of the
: force will seek other positions because
of the high price of uniforms, which,
added to other expenses incident to
.their work, means a great reduction in
their incomes.
Increased salaries for the men is the
only remedy, according to statements
of the lowest, salaried men in the de
partment, and every effort will be made
to have Congress answer an appeal for
a substantial increase. It has been
some time since the police received an
increase and it is their claim they
should be assisted in a financial way
the same as numerous other govern
ment employes have been treated.

SAYS SHOOTING WAS ACCIDENT
Herbert Ccoznbs Held for Woundiag
Pearl Green.
! "It was an accident," was the ex
| plana t ion given by Herbert Coombs,
| colored. nineteen, of Jay street north
j east, last night, when arrested in con
| nection with the shooting of Pearl
j Green, colored, also nineteen, on the j
road near her home in Burrville, a j
i short distance beyond Benning.
The bullet struck the girl in the ;
! head, splintering her skull and dan
| gerously wounding her. She was taken
i to Casualty Hospital. j
Coombs made no effort to elude the I
j police. He accompanied the wounded j
j girl to the hospital and remained there. ;
It appears that Coombs and another i
young colored man were walking along
the road with Pearl Green and Lillian j
Hill, and that Pearl left her com
panions and started toward her home
when Coombs fired the shot.
When placed under arrest he said
the weapon was handed him by his
companion, who told him to shoot her.
"I thought I was shooting in the
air." he said.
He is held at the ninth precinct po
lice station while the police are making
I a further investigation of the affair.

Read Wha.t the Critics Bay About "Let's Go'*:
A gaudy scramble which reveals itself as
a composite of Rood singing, brilliantly done
sets and sprightly sbap^lin^s makes "Let's
Go" at Poli's a pleasant attraction.?Post.
"Let's Go," which opened at Poli's last
night, is one of the best shows -the musical
comedy company has produced this season.
Patrons of the house have a surprising treat
in store for them this week.?Herald.
"Let's Go." the Musical Comedy Players
have one of the biggest productions of the
season.?Times.
No phase of a plot is attempted In the

popular and catchy songs and skillful danc
ing provide more than two hoars of clean,
wholesome entertainment.?Star.
