This is, of course, sur- mise on the actual purpose of the cab- inet meeting was concerned, but. it seems likely this subject was at least informally discussed. ‘This morning no coal derricks are ‘working on the canal docks at George- town. The men are on a strike to pre- vent their wages from being cut from $2 to $1.50 a day. Last Summer the workmen employed at these docks by agents of the coal companies were paid $2 a day after they demanded that amount, and they have been getting that ever since. Recently the agents announced that their wages would be cut to $1.50 a day. ‘There is plenty of work for the strik- ing workmen at the docks, but they refused to touch a coal barge today for th» wages offered. As the boats are 5t beginning to arrive in large num- ers from the coal mining regions at the up) end of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, the coal companies will probably be forced to yleld to the de- mands of the men. ‘The locks at the western terminus of the canal are out of repair, and this has delayed a large number of coal boats for the docks there, When this morning the boats began to come in rapidly, and the boatmen a fleet of 50 or 60 more on the way down the canal, the prospect for serious con- still giving gestion seemed imminent. Mrs. Lincoln's health is concern to her friends. She is greatly depressed in spirits, and those few per- sons who are attending her at the White House say that she at times gives vent to her feelings in tears. Secretary of State Seward and his son Frederick, who were stabbed by would-be assassins on the same night that the late President Lincoln was killed by Booth, are reported today to be improving rapidly. .

There is always the group about whom there can be no question. They g0 forward. They have not been ab- sent. They have been in their places every day-on time with all work well prepared. Bright, healthy children are always promoted. But after that group is checked off there remain the others, those whom the teacher is certain about, hopeless leftovers. Some of them have been ill and 80 could not do the grade work. Some were backward and couldn't grasp the ideas. These the teacher sets aside as settled holdovers. ‘But now comes that group about which she cannot feel safe. This one does well in the English branches, but arithmetic is & total failure. That one ought to do well, but he doesn't seem to get down to business. If Mary would Jush brush up a little on grammar and ugh, And there’s Henry. If the next teacher could counted on to give him a chance, be A little lenient for the first month or 80, he might go, especially as he is a bit over age now. What is to be done about these doubtful children? When in doubt about promotion, I would set aside the grade work for the time and look at the child as a power, as & mind power. Is he intelligent? If he is, why didn't he make the grade? Perhaps he needed medical attention. Perhaps he needed a little special help and didn't get it. Maybe he is experi- encing a new growth of body and hasn't enough energy left for mental work. Perhaps home conditions have held him back. Maybe he could do the work of the next grade with certain conditions imposed as to reviews every week? It is better to try to send a child ahead, usually, than to send him to the same class for another term, if he is in this doubtful class. This is especially true if the child has attended school every day. Enough of the course of study has filtered through to form the basis for the interpretation of the next term’s work. Often a promotion stimu- lates his latent power into action, and the child, with a little special help, gets ahead of himself, as it were. Sometimes a change of teachers, a change of classmates helps such a child. If possible, a doubtful promotion case ought not to remain with the same teacher for another term. There are exceptions to this as there are to every “DID JOAN WIN THE BEAUTY CONTEST?” NO; SHE LOST BY A NOSE.” would mean an extra teacher or so for every school. Why not? Isn't it better to pay for a teacher’s services than to run the risk of losing a child? (Copyright. 1930). Painted Floor Mats.

Straight Talks to Women About Money| BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Investments and Borrowing. When a woman needs cash urgently I|she will have reason to be thankful if her investments are of & worthwhile sort. A bank will often lend up to 80 per cent of the market value of hold- ings, providing they are neither specu- Iative or of type subject to wide fluc- tuations. In the pas hesitated to put stock up as collateral when a rise in their stock was ex- pected, because of a fallacious belief that stock collateral could not be touched while securing a loan. As a matter of fact, of course, either of two ways to realize on such an op- portunity might be employed. If one has other stocks or bonds to replace those one wishes to sell, one need only make application at her bank. lain your purpose in making the change. Of course it will be necessary to re- place the stock desired for sale with stock or securities of satisfactory cur- rent value. Ever{ woman, however, is not able to duplicate the original collateral. In- deed most women cannot. They may choose the other way to realize the available profit on their stock. They may instruct their bank to sell the stock at the market price, and apply the cash realized to the settle- ment of their account with the bank. It there is an “overage” or surplus, it can be credited to their accounts. A woman may even request the bank to reinvest the amount realized in other securities with the approval and con- sent of the bank. . Naturelly a woman with high-grade bonds will find are not of the best grade stocks are distinctly speculative. Borrowing on investments is easiest because it is not necessary, as in the case of realty collateral, to establish title, or equity.
