"It is hoped," the report states, 1 "that this amount of funds from the loan of June SO, 1015, can ho tians- fotred from the appropriation to the City Hall section to complete the Frank - ford line to Bridge street, otherwise a new loan will have to be authorized """ by the people." ' This transfer of transit funds is nu- , thorized in the bill introduced jn the ) Legislature by Senator Salus. The bill would permit the city authorities to take Ithc funds authorized for one line and divert them for the construction of br five cents, and the resulting increase of interest and operating tost of the system must nppcar in the fnrc. Recommend! Referendum "In order to afford opportunity for n proper modification of the system as now authorized by the people and pro vide all funds immediately needed to carry on the transit work, I recom mend that legislation be prepared and introduced as promptly as possible pro viding for a referendum by which loans authorized by the people for a specific purpose mnv be submitted to the people for i consideration." Director Twlnlng'S repoit further stntes that "It is therefore extremely desirable that the unexpended $f5,000, -000 now available for tianslt should be merged and rendered applicable to the completion and equipment of the Hues of the system immediately needed," In support of his contention that one or two high-speed lines should be built as quickly as possible, Director Twin ing declares: "It is now generally acknowledged that the city will have great difficult in completing the entire system as n unit, nml it Is paiticularly important that this entire sum be made mailable for the completion of the most urgently needed lines, together with the ncccs sat", equipment for those lines. "It should not be the purpose of this referendum to dUeit the monej nlready appropriated and now available for the construction of transit facilities to other purposes, but the money should be merged into a general loan for transit purposes so thnt Councils may from time to time npeclfy the order in which various lines shall be built out of the funds thereby made avail able " Five Significant I'.tents These fhe events the director con tinued, were: .

YOU'RE NEXT, FIDO, AT THE BARBER SHOP, WOOF! And Don't Be Surprised if You Look Funny Whcti You Lose Your Hair, Think How Cool You Arc , There were brown ones, black and white ones! short oucs and ones long ones, little and tall ones, nil with the shaggiest ot longhair, restlessly wait ing in front of the dog barber shop at 'Ihlrty-elghth and Market strcts, today for a bhnc Some folks maj like to wear-fur in the summer time, but these nristocratic dogs have a different Idea of fashion and comfort. Carlo, the handsome big col lie, looked in haughty askance at the HI bred little poodle, who insisted in getting out of his place in line and push ing up to the front. Carlo was too well bred to say anything about it. He just looked his coutempt, But some of the others were not so reticent, apt! their. .o!ces sounded In angry growls. It was all rather solemn at first, as the dogs Jmed up In front of the place. But when thej began coming out with their funny haircuts there was a riot of frisklnrss. Carlo was so delighted to have his hca mane shorn nnd to feel the cool breeze on his skin he forgot his dignity nnd sanity nnd fnirlv bounced out of the barber "-hop. He didn't realize how- funny he mut look till he saw the bow legged little poodle toddling out, not a hair left on his shiny body except a stubble that stood out like a lion's main about the tiny face. Frcnchie, the poodle, tuined somersaults down the steps and landed rightsldg up in front of Carlo. "Well, old boy." h yapped joyously, "you look like the rock of Gibraltar just after a storm, nnd I'll bet you feel about that cool. But you haven't a thing on me, I'm stripped for the summer." And he went his merry way at the end of his mistress's chain. Carlo turned to amble down the street, twitching his skin to feel the wind more f reel , nnd strutting a bit as he passed two long haired mongrels unnjiijg over n bone. " ''Can you beat it" That's what the mongrels said as they looked after the majestic figure, then at one an other. "It's an III wind that blows nobodj good," said the barber. "And hot weather is making trade pick up. Theic in a lineup of dogs waiting ,each daj this weather."

BUREAU FOR TEACHERS' BILL Salary Increases Called Nocos- sary to Make Virtuous and Enlightened Citizens QUICK ACTION IS NEEDED In an appeal for the enactment of laws providing salary increases for school teachers the Bureau of Municipal Research, in its latest bulletin, declares that almost a ccnturv has passed with out progress in this line. The adage, "Virtue may be its own reward, but you can't live on it," is made the opening of an argument for passage of the Woodruff bill, which car ries a 20 per cent salary boost. The bulletin, in part, follpws: "In this country the schoolmaster, as he Is termed, , docs not enjoy that consideration which the services re quired of him nnd the talents ncccssnr to perform thebe services ought to con fer on him. The men ss-ho are Intrusted to form the mlfids of the youth of this country, and to direct their expanding" energies, should be classed as a profes sion of the highest order. Dcservo Liberal Reward "Their labors are great, their sersiccs are saluable, and therefore their re ward should be so liberal as to attract the best talents. It is a melancholy truth that In most parts of the country, csen in Xcsv England, the occupation of a schoolmaster sields less profit thnu thnt derlscd fiom the humblest mechan ical labor. Can any rational man think that the talents and acquire ments that ought to be imparted can he obtained for such ssages? "If i sstera of education is to be established, let the scale of expenditure be libeial ; let it form an important de partment of the government; let ever man (onnccted ssith its ndministiation, from the head of the department to the humblest teacher, be considered as a highly saluable public servant, and as such enjoy a liberal reward. For Enlightened Citizens "Let this be done, and though the public schools will yield no revenue, the will annually contribute to the republic something more saluable a body of virtuous and enlightened citi 7ens." Report of house committee on Necessity of Bill Not Urgent "But ns the city and company have now reached an agreement providing for unified operation of the tsso systems, the necessity for the bill does not seem urgent.
