Confronted with numerous pro- posed changes In the tentative draft of the new teachers' salary bill, the board of education will meet in spe- clal conference tonight to whip the measure into final shape for intro- ductlon In Congress Monday.

With a few excep- tions, every group has recommended a change In the provisions affecting them directly The changes In the tentative bill recommended by the teachers were adopted at a meeting of the Teach- ers' Councll last night at the Frank- lin School. The school board has promised to give serfous considera- tion to these recommendations before shaping the pay bili for introduction in Congress. Axk Bonus Assurance. Prior to a protracted discussion cf the sure, the couneil last night adopted unanimously a resolu- tion asking the board to take the necessary steps to assure the teach- €rs that the money for the bonus for the vear of 1924-1 included in the District estin for that vear, with the provision that the fund be withdrawn if the salary bill be enacted.

SCHOOLS GRANTED HOLIDAY PERIOD The District public schools closed this afternoon for the annual Thanks- giving holiday period and will not reopen until Monday morning. Spe- cial exercises were held in virtually all the schools, which were featured by plays, songs and stories designed 1o impress on the puplls the origin and significance of Thanksgiving day. In some of the schools sumptuous turkey dinners were served to the pupils. The majority of the children, however, went home with heaithy appetites and a bountiful knowledge of the Pilgrims, Plymouth Rock, the Mayflower and the hardships of the carly settlers of the New England coast. Forty Puplls Have Turkey Dinner. Shortly after noon, the forty pupils | of the special school at 36th and Pros- yect avenue disposed of a twenty-six- pound turkey and all its trimmings, the Eift of a friend of the school. | About the same time the pupils of the | *“open window room” of the Blake £chool were feasting with the school officlals, who were their guests at the annual Thanksgiving dinner. After the dinner at the speclal #chool In Georgetown, the puplls pre- #ented a play depicting William Penn | signing the treaty with the Indlans, @s a feature of their Thanksgiving exercis The program also included appro- Priate recitations and songs by the | children.

STAR BOYS T0 SEE RAY AT LM St Famous Actor Himself Will Be Host to Carriers at Holiday Show. Tomorrow will be a big day for 500 Star carrier boys, for they are going to be personal guests of their fa- vorite movie star, Charles Ray—de- lineator of the American boy—at a special showing of his latest photo- play and his first big historical drama, “The Courtship Standish.” The boys will gather at The Star building in time to march to the President Theater in a body for the special performance, which will be- gin at 10 o'clock. Then for two solid hours they will feast their eyes on this epic film, which tells a story of the coming of the Pilgrim fathers to New England, of the perilous journey of the frail 'Mayflower across the broad Atlantic, of the hardships the adventurers encountered on the bleak New Bngland coast, of the constant menace of Indians and of a final tri- umph of human will over every ob- stacle an unkind nature could inter- pose—a triumph that has led to the formation of the great nation we live in today. {big Star organization will appreciate keenly, Mr. Ray believes. He has de- voted his time and thought for more | ture_which, he hopes, will make for itself a permanent place In the lit- erature of the screen because of its remarkable story and its great lesson to Americans. The charming ro- mance of John Alden and Priscilla is the bond that unites the various aspects of the narrative. The Star newsboys will be guests of honor, for thoy will have the whole_performance to themselves and will be greeted by Mr. Ray himself. Mr. Ray hopes to produce a serles of great dramas dealing with Amer- ican history, and like such ~other stars as Charles Chaplin, Mary Pick- | fora and Douglas Fairbanks, will de- vote ample time to the fiming of each subject. —_—— Out of the 300 members of the Czechoslovakia house of deputies The services on Thanksgiving day | Detective H.

Due to the fact that Senator Ball, chalrman of the Senate committee investigating Washington traffic con- ditions, has been suddenly called out of the city, and that Jobn Hays Ham- mond coal commission, Is unable to testify, the hearings of the committe, which were scheduled for today, have been carried until next week. it is understood that next Wed- nesday has been tontatively set by the committee as the date for re- sumption of hearings. At that time, it 1s expected that Mr. Hammond, as well as Willlam Ihelps Eno, noted traffic expert, will testify More Information Wanted. Questioned yesterday as to when the committee report would be made up and on what date he believed the hearings would end, Senator Ball re- iplied. “I'l téll you' that if you will tell me when the people of Washing- ton will be through giving testi- mony. . The committee has not learned yet all it wishes about the various phases of the traffic situ- ation here. We belleve that there should be some intensive investi- gation of the brake system on auto- moblles with a view to periodic In- spection of cirs to prevent ac dents. It fs probable that the com- mittee will £o into this matter before the hearings are over.” At the session yesterday afternoon Commissioner Bell told the commit- ov the Washington traffic problems. The Commissioner pointed out that sidewalks on some of the streets much wider than was necessary at wide sidewalks were not an &d vantage to business houses, and that these pavements could be turned into roadway with comparatively little ex- pense. Where trees and other ob- structions interfered, he asserted, parking space could be cut in between them, in this way relieving to a large extent the parking problem. Safely Ixles Praixed. The Commissioner called attention to the situation at Scott rcle, which he had been benefited by the con. safety isle, and 16th and U stre with similar protection to pedestrians. That other inte ctions could be tr d in the same way and that traffic could be more easily han- Aled by t 1od, he told the com- red. that a committee has model street-lighting hington, but that it had not been acted on by the Com- missioners, due to the pressure of economy, Maj. Bell said that if this plan were carried out the streets would be more adequately lighted On the question of rapid transit streets the witness sald that he did not believe that some of the main |avenues could be operated in this manner, due to the large number of crossings. but that main arterial { bou! rds through Potomac Park up { through the Rock Creck valley and along the Anacostia river were not only necessary but should be a de- | velopment of the immediate future. WORK IN ACCORD WITH ENGINEERS Secretary and Federation Agree on Interior Depart- ment Reorganization. ymmended d system for W Thorough accord has been reached by Secretary Work with the aims of the American Federated Engincering Societies for reorganization of the In- terior Department or certain bureaus of that department along technical lines. Conferring today with Lawrence W. Wallace, executive secretary of the engineering organization, Secre- tary Work found, he announced, that plans of the engineers fit in every de- tail with the Brown plan for techni- cal reorganization of the Interfor De- partment. These plans contemplate establishment of a bureau of public works, to be under the administration of an assistant secretary, who will be an engineer. No differences were found to exist fundamentally, Dr. Work said, between the wishes of the engineers and the Brown plan. Will Urge Brown Plan. The engineering soclety will press for adoption of the Brown plan shortiy after the first of the new vear, when a natlonal conference will be held Washington. ~The president of the American Engineering Council has been authorized by the executive board of that organization to appoint a spe- cial committee to draft and cause to be introduced into Congress a bill car- rying into effect that portion of the reorganization plan which deals with the Interior Department. The bill, it is understood, will be considered’ at the coming conference here in January. Methods Under Investigation. Engineers, Dr. Work ascertained, are in_accord with transfer of the patent office and the bureau of mines, as con- tained in the Brown plan. The Interior Secretary is proceeding with a thor- ough investigation of the merits of the Brown plan and is working along his own lines seeking a thoroughly prac- tical plan for reorganization of his de- partment and one that will meet the desires of the engineering profession as well. ———— MRS.

[NEW SEISMOGRAPH CHARTS AND LOCATES QUAKES ACCURATELY (Continued from First P administration building before a dls- tinguished audience. Its most important parts are simply cven and a half inches of tungsten wire of exactly the same weight as the filament of an electric bulb, and three centimeters of No. 12 copper wire, welghing just nine-tenths of one gram. The tungsten wire, with a thickness of eight ten-thousandths of an inch, i{s made inert by fastening it at_either end to a brass plate by a set-screw. To this wire Is attached the small piece of copper wire, which furnishes the “solid mass” of the seismograph 4 creates the trembling motion en an earthquake occurs. In this respect it duplicates the action of the huge seismographs that hereto- fore have been universally used. To | prevent the wire from continuing to vibrate, a small magnet is placed to ther side, and a drop of castor oil »ve and below the “solld mass” ac- sunts for any tendency of the wire | to swing or imitate the motion of a violin string A small mirror, measuring four by eight millimeters, is 3 hed to the “solid mass.” and into it a beam of 1 is reflected through a prism. This beam of light is thrown by the mirror upon a piece of photographic | paper wrapped around a revolving cylinder, controlled by a carefully regulated clock. The minute an earth- quake occurs its tremors are trans- 'h-rr:‘d to the wire, and the movement lof the light in the mirror is auto- matically photographed on the paper, glving a permanent record of the tremor. Present Instruments Large. The average selsmograph now used weighs batween 500 and 1,000 pounds. It is too bulky to record the hundreds of tremors so slight that they are barely noticeable, but which Indicate the slipping movement that in time is believed ‘to accumulate the pressures that bring about a eevere rebound— which is an earthquake. In addition, these monsters cost thousands of dol- lars, a_complete station representing | an outlay of close to $50,000 at the | least, i The_selsmograph brought out by the Carnegie Institution costs les than $25 and records not only long earthquake waves but the smallest ones, too. It can be “tuned” to rec- ord waves of any length by merely lengthening or shortening the tung- n wire. The Japanese earthquake was recorded by one “tuned” for a long wave and right beside it another, uned” for local shocks, was record- ing tremors beneath the surface of | California that never had been defi- nitely known to exist. This new seismograph was evolved out of pure necessity as a result of discoveries made by the Carnesie | Institution's advisory committee in | seismology, of which Dr. Day is chairman. = So necessary was it to | obtain a record of the many little shocks the larger machines were missing, Dr. Day said, that scientists began experiments which resulted in the instrument he demonstrated last night. To Test Known Weaknesses. These instruments, Dr. Day told his audlence, are to be arranged in groups of three, around positions of | known weakness in the earth's crust, in Callfornia, and also to find possi- ble new points of weakness. One will be to obtain records of waves passing north and south. another for Those east and west, and the third for those describing a vertical mo- tion. It will thus be possible to ob- tain so complete a record of the arth's movements. “In connection with his lecture, Dr. Day showed a map upon which were charted the known movements of the feologlc currents in California. They showed that in the last thirty years the earth there has moved as much as twenty feet. While the surface of Southern California is pushing its way northward, it has been learned the central California is bound in a southeasterly _direction, still other portions are bound elsewhere, until the whole looks as though it might be describing & slow churning motion. ‘Another_map showed the first suc- cessful effort to chart the definite contour of the sea’s bottom and was done by the hydrographic bureau of the Navy Department in collaboration ith the institute’s committee in sels- ooy, It resuited In the definite discovery of the so-called continental shelf, a point beneath the sea that takes a sheer drop of from 7.000 to $.000 feet off the coast of California. Many Faults Mapped. When it Is considered, therefore, Dr. | Day polnted out, that from the top of the Slerras to the foot of the con- tinental shelf there is a drop of some 55.000 feet, in a little more than a | htindred miles, it is not quite so difi- cult to understand why that country {s one of frequent earthquakes. 1t has also been possible since the creation of the advisory committee, fhe speaker said, to make what he belleves to he the first map of the man~ faults that occur in the earth’s - in California. o nmof this,” Dr. Day continued, “came the conclusion that all earth- quakes in _California had occurred jalong the well defined lines of defi- nite faults, many of which, including the San Andreas, or main fault, run out inté the sea. While 1 do not believe it will be possible to predict just when an earthquake will occur, We shall know with positive certainty what is much more important to man- Kind—that is, where the next ones will shake the earth.” PLANS THE ABOLITION OF TRADE COMMISSION 1 bolition of the Federal Trade| Commisaion 18 sought in & bill which is being drafted by Representative Albert Johnson of Washington, which he proposed to Introduce early next week.

Wallace. It is evident, from an examination of farm papers, that sentiment among them is divided on the tax-reduction proposals. The Michizan Lusiness Farmer, published at Mou say under date of Nove cretary Mellon made the people of United States whe he issued a formal statement advis ing a huge cut in the governmental taxes, but whether he made himself equally popular with th adminis- tration is yet to be decided Bus! nes has b good throughout tk United States during the past twelve months and g Mment receipts n largely Zmen by this prosperity. It is qui ble that to foist a soldlers’ bonus on the already tax-ridden country at this time would force a depression in in- dustry through a curtailment of buy- ing power, which would leave little profit to the individual soldier.” Axk Only Honor. The Michigan Business Farmer claims that the doughboys recruited from the farms in 1917 and 1918 want no bonus “We have never talked to a hard- working farmer boy who saw service elther on this side or in France who was as rabid for a soldiers’ bonus as the American Legton officials would lead us to believe. The sentiment of the boys we have talked to se<ms to be in favor of taking care o all. who were injured—giving them the best care possib! but of asking nothing for those who fought for a cause and came back unscathed and who want only the honor whic every man gets for serving his coun- try and his flag.” The same journal addss “Th ed votce jot Secretary Mellon calling fo; duction in taxes is Indeed news to the farmers of th but we shall indeed be lucky if, with a_presidential campaign just in the ofing, we are not burdened with soldiers’ bonus, which will be rushe through in the opening days of the new Congress to build up political fences at home." wele Comment ot Capper. The Ohio Farmer, which Is one of the chaln of farm papers owned by Senator Arthur Capper, leader of the farm bloc, treads warily in discussing the Mellon proposals. Under date of | November 24 it say. “Business Interests generally are favorable to Secretary Mellon's pro- posed cut in income but some representatives of the farmer-labor group profess to see ‘naughty politics’ in it, and they are already declaring their opposition to it.” Elsewhere in the same Ohio Farmer says “To reduce taxes drastically is un- precedented, In the face of a national campaign, when the more people on the public pay roll the bigger polit- ical machine one can build. But we believe that this Is onc time when the man and the organization that can actually accomplish the feat are going to gain popularity.” Successful Farming, the paper pub- lished in Des Moines, by Edwin T.

Suc- cessful Farming in its November is- says: “Like the poor, the demagogue is always with us, playing his per- i game of misleading the people The government has not been oppressing the agricultural states in matters of taxation, agitators to the contrary notwithstanding. The Prairie Farmer, published at Chicago, takes issue with Mr. Mere- dith’s_views, and in a militant ar- ticle printed in its issue of Novem- ber 24 asserts that “farmers’ taxes are much too high.” It quotes an ‘exhaustive analysis” just made pub- lic by the National Industrial Cou- ference Board in New York, showing that “the American farmer is paying more than his share ot the nation's tax bill and has been for some time." it is a fair expectation from these varied comments of the farm press— comments for which President Cool- idge has been anxiously walting, White House callers are informed— that spokesmen of rural Interests in Congress will approach the Mcilox program with mixed emotions.

LONDON, November 28.—-Hundreds of British radio fans got their ears full of American accents at 3 o'clock yesterday morning, when programs broadcast by at least a half dozen sta- tions in the United States were picked up by receiving sets on this side of the ocean. Radio publications in London have been recelving letters and telegrams all day from amateurs who sacrificed their sleep to “hear America Most of the listeners reported the atmospheric conditions were extreme- 1y bad, but despite this fact several of the amateurs in London, Folkstone and elsewhere were able to hear most of what was said, sung or played by the Yankee broadcasters. One subur- banite reported he had picked up the General Blectrie Company’s Schenec- tady station, heard “The Star Span- gled- Banner,” then a speech by Owen D. Young, on “World Peace and Lloyd George's Visit,” and then “God Save the King." The reports are being analyzed to determine which station in America obtained the best transmission across the Atlantio, _ * {gress today GOOLIDGE MESSAGE SENT T0 PRINTER Document Is Brief—Presi- dent Turns to Filling Vacant Offices.

C.) BY CAPT. DONALD B. MacMILLAN. (Copyright, 1923, in United States and Great Britain’ by North Amesicin Newspaper Alliance. All Tights rescrved.) We have completed our prepa ratlons for the celebration of Thanksgiving day. Following fis the menu which will be served to- morrow on board the schooner Bowdoin, 700 miles from the north pole: Cocktalls, tomato soup, crackers, roast Greenland eider duck (with dressing), currant jelly, Cookel- lized cranverry sauce, Cookellized sweet potialoes, sweet corn, sweet pudding, mince pie, Cookellized pumpkin pie, mixed nuts, dates. chocolates, cigarettes and coffee. Allowing for our limited mar- keting facilitiés, we challenge any housewife in Canada or the states to duplicate this bill of fare. Yd may have wondered in reading over the menu what ‘Cookellized’ means. I explain on behalf of the crew that it is a gentle satire on the once famous Dr. Cook, who for some time posed as a discov- erer of the north vol We expect to have dog team and snowshoe races in the morning, a rifie shoot after dinner, a tea party later in the afternoon and our usual motion picture and radio concert in the evening. . 108 101 *Bolster Com S 05
