BOOST TEACHERS' PAY
Measure Ready Tor Legislature
Provides 20 Per Cent ln-v
crease in State
CITY WILL SHARE IN COST
School teachers and several other
c'nssos of school employes throughout
the state will be given a 20 per cent In
crease In pay If the Legislature passes
n new bill which is to be Introduced
next week.
The measure embodies ideas contained
in several other suggested bills, and
while not an administration measure,
is expected to have the support of the
Governor. It is understood that the
umlnry raiser bill -will be accompanied
by a measure to bring in additional rev
enue so as to meet the increased charge
to the state, probably by means of a
two-mill tax on manufacturing corpor
ations. The school employes benefited by the
pioposed bill are the teachers, princi
pals, supervisors, directors of special
subjects, assistants, clerks and stenog
lnphers. School nurses, attendance of
ficers and janitors do not come under
the provision of the bill.
Applies to Philadelphia
It is pioposed that stute and school
district each pay-half of th? 20 per cent
raise for the school year 1010 -1020. This
applies absolutely in, Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh, which are school districts of
the first class. Tn districts of the sec
ond, third and fourth classes, vhere the
maximum legal school tax h.s been
leached, the state will pay 10'pei cent
without the district furnishing the Cut
lesponding amount.
In these districts where the state's
apportionment and the corresponding
amount appropriated by the district
docs not come to $100 each for the
sihool employes, or where the tax rate
for the years 1911) and 1020 is the full
millngc permitted by law, the state will
pay its 10 per cent and sufficient ad
ditional to give every employe of the
classes specified an increase of $105 a
year.
L.;"Itable Distribution
The proposed law provides that the
money set aside by state and district
shall be "distributed in a just and
equitable manner," under penalty of
forfeiting anyrlght io future appropria
tions under the act.
it is provided further that on or be
fore August 1, 1010, each school board
shall certify its salarg schedule for 1018
and 1010 to the superintendent of pub
lic instruction, together wUbthe amount
available for the salary Increase. If no
money is available,. it must be certified
that the full legal millngc has been
reached. VT'he state's share of the raise
would bo paid on certification from the
superintendent of public instruction.
Teacheis' Union Indorses Dill
An average of more than 100 new
members each meeting since it was
formed was the estimate given out
r by the membership committee of the
Philadelphia Teachers' Union, at a
. meeting of the organization held at the
Women's Trade, Union League, 248
South Eighth -street, last night. Al
though there was not the usual outside
speaker at the meeting, the event was
filled with much discussion, the meet
ing lasting until nearly midnight. In
n report of tho legislative committee,
iho work of the organization was
.shown. No small part in the passage
of tho Woodruff bill in the house, early
in the week, is claimed by the uniou.
Apart from the work on the Wood
ruff bill, tho committer hag caused the
introduction '( a b'li for the cqualiza
riou of salaries of men ami women
'.partners. This bill has the distinction
if being the first piece of work at-,
tempted by (the Philadelphia Teachers'
L'nion. The bill, it is contended, U
not in any way intended to hamper the
Woodruff bill, or to neutralize it in auy
manner by lowering the salaries of
men teachers. The Teachers' Union
In solidly behind the latter bill. Tho
plan of the new equalization bill is that
of equalization upward. It carries no
state appropriation with it. providing
for the local boards to equalize the
standard of women teachers up to the
men's minimum,
The union has adopted the follow
ing resolutions:
"Whereas, the low salaries paid to
(he teachers of Philadelphia are re
sponsible for great hardships existing
mnong them, and are also resulting in
a corresponding demoralization of the
teaching force, and
"Whereas, It has been the experience,

WASTE DEFENDED
Foe Failed to Give Notice Be
fore Quitting, Admiral
Sims Explains
CRITICS ARE CRITICIZED
"Business brains for business; sol
diers, sailors and marines for fighting."
Vice Admiral William S. Sims, who
left this city today for Washington,
after speaking at four meetings yester
day in behalf of the Victory Loan, sug
gested this in brief, ns a future policy
for the government.
He urged that the critics of the con
duct of war be utilized ; declared him
self io favor of a "big battleship," not
n submarine policy, and said that any
waste in war construction was due to
the failure of the Germans to give this
country six months' notice of the time
they proposed to quit.
"I would, if they give me my way,"
he said, "have the revised statutes fixed
up right now so that the President in
time of war would be obliged to ap
point from the best business brains of
the country the men who would handle
the administrative and business end of
the war. That would let the sailor and
the soldier do their end in the fighting.
the task for which they were originally
trained and educated.
"We have heard all kinds of sugges
tions from those who knew little or
nothing about actual conditions, about
what we should have. They suggested
that to beat the German submarines we
must have more submarines.
"As a sailor man I want to say that
all the submarines in the world could
not prevent a fleet of large battleships
from stacking Iew lork, while a fleet
of large boats could drive the subma
lines from the seas."
POLICE TRAIL BAD COIN
Man Arrested for Passing Half Dol
lars Thought Spurious
In the arrest today of Salvatore
I.orcnzio, forty-five years old, Fitz
water street above Seventh, the police
and federal authorities believe they have
a clue that will lead tn the rounding
un of a gang of counterfpiteis r.sponsl
ible for the circulation of spurious half
dollars here.
Lorcnzio was taken into custody by
district detectives after he had passed
in two stores silver money which the
authorities believe is counteifeit.
After a preliminary hearing befoie
Magistrate Imber at the Second and
Christian sttroets station, Lorcnzio was
held under $1500 bail for a further
hearing next Saturday. Meanwhile.
he will be examined by operatives of the
United States Secret Service. No
counterfeit coins were found in his
possession.

Hurley Says Reorganization
Plan Means Big Construc
tion and Work for All '
ANSWERS ATTACK OF PIEZ
Not a single shipbuilder iill lose his
Job and no yards will be put out of
commission under the plan of reorgani
zation of the Emergency I'leet Coipo
ration. This message of assurance ii made by
Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the
United Slates shipping board, upon his
return from n swing around the Mid
dle West. He nnsw cred an attack made
here by Charles Piez, retiring director
general of tho fleet corporation, who
predicted tho Hurley policy of contract
repudiation would prove disastrous.
Mr. Hurley said:
"I saw what Mr. Piez said in criti
cizing the tentative program we hnve
mapped out. Well, he as given a
dinner by the shipbuilders and quite
naturally he fcao them the Mnd of
speech they wanted to hear. If he
hadn't they would have thought he Mas
a little Bnlshovik. Might have done
the "same thing myself under the same
conditions.
"f do not say he did it intentionally,
nevertheless Piez only gave one side of
the matter. We nre canceling thirty -five
8000-ton ships nt Hog Island. That
was done three days ngo and Piez was
the man who recommended it to be done
and his recommendntion -ns approved
by the board of trustees. That makes a
total of seventy ships suspended or
canceled at Hog Island.
No Cause for Alarm
"But I want to make this statement.
Shipbuilders and shiBorkers are un
duly alarmed.
"We have canceled fcwc,r than ten
contracts. We still have almost 10,000,
000 tons to fulfill. This being so the
number of men let go. by this smnll
cancellation from our 300,000 employes
in nil our yards would not only be very,
very Bmall, but possibly not a single
man may have to go.
"Not a single shipyard will neces
sarily have to be shut down. We are
simply stabilizing or 'balancing' the
shipvard program. We arc going to
build the kind of ships the country
wants.
"All told some three and one-half
million tons of shipping has been can
celed. More may be, but mark this :
"We are planning to substitute 'sus
pended' or canceled ships with other
ships. Out of some L',000,000 tons we
may still 'suspend' we plan to imme
diately substitute ships of a different
construction of a tonnage of 1,800,000
tons, so you will see there is no espe
cial reason for alarm.
"I have been at work on the plan
of readjustment for three or four weeks.
Within four or five days I hope to be
able to announce it more fully.
Mosly Will Buy Output
"I found in the Middle West some
alarm over the fact that if we put
our ships on the market, Kngliuh m
ti rests might gobble them all up. Well,
the one with the money gets the goods.
But I am not nppiehenwc over this
aspect,
"On March -( our figures showed
we had contracts to build l,oCU ships
of 0,275,000 dead weight tons and had
already constructed 555 ocean-going
steel cargo vessels of a dead weight ton
nage of 2,383,000.
"I have ask'ed for figures fioin all
sources. Our plan is to build new types
of ships of new speeds. Where we 'sus
pended' the construction of certain ships
we hope to substitute the construction
of other ships which will keep the men
employed.
"Congress will no doubt meet shortly,
and rit that fime we expect to present a
detailed report containing all the facts
and recommend what we think should
be done. It will then be for Congress
to act. I feel confident they will pass
legislation which will be helpful in acJ
complishing that for which we all hope,
a permanent and efficient American
merchant marine."

THE deceiving thing about bad teeth is that they kill you so slowly.
In fact, it is only recently that scientific research has been able to
prove that bad teeth are the direct cause of many serious, even fatal
diseases.
Dentists are today correctly diagnosing and curing auto-intoxication,
rheumatism, kidney trouble, indigestion, headaches and related maladies.
Doctors everywhere are insisting on frequent dental examinations as
of vital importance to general health.
The reason teeth are brushed is to remove food particles after each
meal. If allowed to remain in crevices, cavities and under the gums,
these food particles quickly decay and form acids which attack the lime "
salts of tooth enamel, weakening the enamel which ds broken down by
the force of mastication.
Most people only brush their teeth when they arise. That is not
enough. A few brush their teeth at night also. That is not enough. It is
absolutely essential under modern conditions that you N
Brush your teeth five, times a day
after arising, after each meal and before
retiring. ,
If you fed like a savage on meat and
raw .fruit this would not be necessary.
Bad teeth are almost unknown among
savages.
But you insist on eating the kind of food
that is most destructive to teeth soft,
sweet, sticky food, which adheres to the
teeth and musr'be removed
of civilized people have decayed teeth
Now let us consider the question of
dentifrices.
A brush and cold water are better than
nothing. An ordinary, pure soap serves to
clean your teeth fairly well, but is, of course,
unpleasant to use.
Anything that scours or grinds the enamel
is bad. A strongly alkaline dentifrice (most
popular dentifrices are alkaline) is very bad,
dangerous and destructive.
Such a dentifrice paralyzes the saliva rv
glands and checks the flow of saliva. Saliva
is Nature's only agent for neutralizing and
rendering harmless the acids of food decay.
An absence of saliva means that teeth are
exposed to the unchecked ravages of acid.

Mennen Cream Dentifrice is non
alkaline. It cleanses, whitens and polishes the teeth
wonderfully without scouring or grinding
the enamel.
It breaks down tartar formations and
mucin plagues.
It j'r.creases the flow of saliva, Nature's
agent: or neutralizing acids of food decay,
by means of a mild fruit acid which stimu
lates the salivary glands, thus aiding Nature
to preserve! your teeth.
A 20 content of alcohol serves as an
antiseptic deodorant and conditioner of the
gums.
Aromatic oils make Mennen's pleasant to
use, with a cool, refreshing, delightful after
taste. Try one tube, you will like it immensely.
Your teeth will be whiter, cleaner and
sounder than ever before. A copious flow of
saliva will protect your teeth for a long time
after using.
Mennen Cream Dentrifice costs 35c,
and the tube is smaller than many denti
frices costing 25 cents; but Mennen's was ,
made to deliver a result and not to fit a price.
