Graduates of Wilson Teachers’ Col- lege, qualified aow for teaching posi- tions in the Nationa: Capital. were awarded their diplomas last night by Dr. Prank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, at commencement exer- cises in Roosevelt High School audi- torium. Touching on existing social and ecoromic difficuities, which, Dr. Bal- sou said, “grow out of certain traits of human character unrestrained by any compelling ideals of proper hu- man relationships or right ideals of social justice,” ne urged the new teachers to exemplify their ives and do everything within their power to develop those raits which have char- acterized worthy individuals and have been the basis for all progress. “Amid all of the proposals for change without and within the teach- ing profession,” he said, “we as mem- bers of that profession must maintain a reasonable equilibrium. We must re- mind ourselves that social order is always undergoing change. We are likely to believe that our existing so- cial, financial and economic ills are greater because they are nearer to us, but whatever program of social studies may ultimately be organized within the schools, the school will continue to represent a stabilizing force offering instruction in reading, writing and arithmetic, in accordance with the inherent needs of those subjects rather than because of any charnge that may take place in our social philosophy.” Dr. Edgar C. Higbie, president, pre- sented the 67 graduates. Dr. Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant superintend- ent of schools, presided. The graduates, arranged by types of schools in which they expect to teach, were as follows: Junior High School. Blose. Stella E. Kozlow. Rhea Brammel, James A {'f.c‘amf“numu 23 Buppert. Dorothy,_ V.

Oldest of Merchants Is First, Last and Always a Rover. N PROMINENT corners, in doorways, on parking lots— wherever the crowd passes— the oldes? merchant takes his stand, a business rover who goes where the mob goes and has done so ever since biblical times. He is the pitchman, who came in large numbers for the Shrine con- clave and who will “play” the National Capital for the rest of the Summer. The pitchman, a practical psycholo- gist since long before psychology was known as & word or a science, asks | no favors of his public. Give him your attention for a few minutes and he will combine showmanship with salesmanship to sell you anything from a new kind of potato peeler to a fuzzy little mouse that walks and jumps—in fact, anything that can be packed in great quantity in a suit case or the back seat of an automobile. Glass cutters, needle threaders, sharp- eners, tie holders, fountain pens and mechanical pencils, anything with the novelty appeal—these are his stock in trade. Methods Are Varied. ‘Their methods of working are as varied as the articles they sell. How- ever, the standard methods are known to pitchdom as the high pitch, the low pitch and the jam. The low pitch, as the name indicates, is made from the ground level,' high pitching is worked from a box or platform and the jam is a method becoming extinct because of a moral sense within the ranks of pitchmen. The jam pitch, as its name implies, holds possibilities for taking undue advantage of the emo- tional fervor which the pitchman gen- erates in his audience. Worked to the ultimate limit, the audience is likely to leave with a stock of wares for which it has no use, and which the pitchman sold at an unwarrant- edly high price. The average pitchman, with more moral restraint and class conscious- ness than ne is given credit for, would like to see the jam pitch outlawed as a disreputable practice hurtful to the entire profession. The generally used jam pitch goes something like this: The pitchman mounts his platform and by various ballyhoo tricks pro- ceeds to collect a crowd of gullible prospective customers. His usual line is that he is giving away some trivial piece of mechandise absolutely free, but for which he will ask you to de- posit 25 cents to show him that you | trust him. After the “pass out” he asks, “Is| every one satisfied?” To which the an- swer usually is affirmative. He now proceeds with all the showmanship at his command to pass back the quarters. This procedure is followed again, with the exception that this time the suckers deposit 50 cents for an article a little more valuable look- ing than the first. Again the money is passed back to those who had the courage to trust the fast-talking worker on the platform, and again everybody is satisfied. Those who at first were a little skeptical about the good faith of pitchman are now regretful they did not enter into the first two deals. They are ready to play the game now and the pitchman gets set for a kill- ing. He now offers some article, worth about a quarter, for a dollar bill. Practically every one passes up his dollar this time because each has every reason to believe the money will be returned as on the previous ‘“pass outs.” The “pass out” is made, the dollars collected, and now the pitch- | man asks the question which he has asked on the previous pass out, “Is everybody satisfled?” The answer is a unanimous yes. “0. K.,” says the pitchman, “that concludes the show.” The crowd stands stunned. Slowly it recovers from the shock to realize it was caught in a jam. It has no comeback, save to ignore the next pitchman who bids for its attention and patronage. But the jam pitch is on its way out. Seldom now days is the jam worker found operating. His own brothers and sometimes the arm of the law has made his work uncom- fortable. The legitmate pitchman, and most of them are, is in that business not because it is his sole means of pro- curing & livlihood, but because he loves to match his sales ability with your sales resistance. They come from every walk of life—from colleges and high schools. In the ranks of the pitchmen is a man who at one time was listed in Dun & Bradstreet. The depression wiped out his business, but not his spirit, and today he is making a com- fortable living as a member of that unorganized but congenial group known as pitchmen. So are many others, among them the coterie which comes yearly to the National Capital. Oxford, England’s seat of learning, will have a municipal airport. 8-Day MOUNTAIN EXCURSIONS Leave June 28 and 29 Charlottesville, Va... | Staunton, Va. Clifton Farn, .\;n Hinton, W.

Uncle Sam will have 321 naval ves- sels of all classes in full operation during the mext flscal year, starting July 1, it was learned yesterday when Secretary of the Navy Swanson an- noynced 15 additional ships will be added to the fleet.

The lght cruiser Omaha is to be- come flagship of the Asiatic Fleet this Fall, relieving the heavy cruiser Augusta. It was announced also the Memphis, now flagship of cruisers of the Battle Force, will relieve the Tren- ton, flagship of the Special Service Squadron.

Based on a study of the causes of thousands of accidents, the following program, if followed, would keep all drivers out of traffic troubles. Secure an emblem and it will cause you to con- stantly be reminded to — — - o Brmg your car under sufficient control at all intersections as to avoid striking another car or a pedestrian. Never enter an intersection with your foot on the accelerator; slow down and be pre- pared to stop if necessary to avoid a collision. Never pass another car on a curve, top of a hill, at an intersection, at a railroad crossing, or at any place where the view ahead is ob- structed. “STOP, LOOK and LISTEN” at ALL railroad crossings. Never pass another car if you have to exceed the speed limit to do so. Drive straight, stay in line, and keep on your own side of the road. Keep your eyes on “wool gatherer” the road and don’t be a when driving a car. Don’t drive through a safety zone or park on a crosswalk. If you get tired or sleepy, stop and rest or let someone else drive. Don’t double-park longer than necessary to take on or discharge a passenger. Remember that a ST OP sign means * §-T-O-P, not S-L- O-W. When you change your course from one lane to another, make a turn, or move into traffic from the curb, always give a timely signal of your intention and look out for other traffic. Never turn around in the street if you have to back or if you interfere with the orderly flow of traffic. Make right turns from the lane nearest the curb and left turns from the lane nearest the center of the street, and don’t “cut corners.” Good drivers never blow their horns except in case of emergency, because the horn-blow- ing driver exasperates other drivers and it is likely to confuse pedestrians. Use your brakes and your head. If you see children playing in the street or on the sidewalk, slow not your horn. down; use your brakes, Be SURE that your brakes are ALWAYS in good condition and that your headlights are properly adjusted. When driving at ‘night see that there is no dust on your wind- shield.
