HYLAN, ASWITNESS HTS LERLATURE Mayor Attacks Lawmakers for “Telling New Yorkers How to Spend Money.” John F. Hylan, who resumed the wit- ness stand today at the second public hearing of the legislative committee investigating his administration, at- tacked the state legislature for legis- lation telling the people of New York city “how to spend their money.” During his examination by the com- mittee’s counsel the mayor objected to legislation which had requested an annual increase of thousands of dol- lars in the pay of New York city school teachers. He said, however, under relentless questioning, that he believed the increases prope by mandatory legislation.” Elon R. Browfi, the committee’s counsel, asked the mayor if he re- garded education as a state function. “Some state authorities,” replied Mr. Hylan, “have regarded it as a state function in_every possible way save paying the bills."” Later Makes a Concession. Later the mayor conceded that he “supposed that education was re- | Barded as a state function in all other cities.” 3 After considerable wrangling the mayor said the city would have given the teachers as large a raise as the legislature grafited them. Questioned on finance, the mayor repeatedly said he could not be ex- pected to be conversant with details of the city’s various debts and funds. SPEAKS ON ADVERTISING. Miss Mock Says Shake‘lpnu Was “Expert.” Shakespeare as an advertising ‘ex- pert, whose methods might be em- ployed today, was described Monday night by Miss Byrd Mock, speaking at the Playhouse, 1814 N street northwest. “He understood the principles of | good advortisement writing better | than the greatest advertisement | writers of today,” said Miss Mock. She also pointed out that expressions such as “It made a hit" and “How the world wags,” etc. are proof of Shakespeare's advertising, as the public still uses them. Shakespeare was said to have given to the world| the greatest example of the psy-i chology. of advertising when Mark Antony outsold Brutus in selling his politics to the people. It was Miss Mock's opinion that if modern advertising reflected Shake- speare's example it would be miore ef- | ficient. Above all, she said, let ad- vertisers follow a course of brevity. —25c Will Rent the Lat- BOOK Circulating Library PEARLMAN’S 232 Open Saturdays Al Day NEW HOMES Girard St. N.W. | i Just East 14th St } | Cars One 8 Rooms ‘ 30-Ft.

He said that the banks had patriot- ically served and saved the city by charging a lower rate for the loan than private borrowers could procure. { _The mayor, in the questioning that followed, declined to give any definite answers to questions concerning the huge debts of the city and its tre- mendous expenditures. “I think 80, was his usual reply. “I presume the figures are correct, he said, when told that the debt had increased “$53,000,000. .
