Mr Hcebor nald that he In opposed to
any plan of giving a flat Increase among
the teachers. .
"There are many rraoon why I am no
opposed." said Mr. Heeber. "but the
principal one Is that such a flat distri
bution, equal to each one, wriUltl not be
satisfactory.
"The Wck plan, which provides grad
uated advances for the tonehers nccord
jne to their grading, in nior-sntlsfac-tnrr,
and the moving up of the schedule
for a vear would make their advances
reasonably large, The $700,000 that it
is proposed to divert from the ?2.000.
000 school loan would be needed to
carry this advance of the schedule into
effect. In fact, It would take from $1,
200.000 to ?1, 400,000 to make this ef
fective. "I understood that the citizens com
mittee was committed to n $400 tint
increase per teacher, but even though
they might be satisfied with less the
principle is just the same.
Hoard Knows Its Problems
"The citizens' committee caunot pos
sibly know the intricacies of board
problems as the board itself does, and
any commitment to n flat rise for the
teachers would put the board In an un
tenable position.
"Even if the board committed itself
to no stipulated rise in salaries, nn ad
vance of the kind recommended by the
citizens' committee would eventually
lead to trouble,', as the teachers. If they
got a smaller rise next year, or none
at all as the case might be, would cause
trouble.
"If Mr. Gratz or Mr. Wnnamakcr,
however, should desire to have a meet
ing of the finance committee to consider
this proposition. I should be ready and
willing at auy time to nttend."
Franklin Smedley, another member of
the finance committee, on the other
hand indicated that he was In accord
with the plan of Simon Gratz to ask
the citizens' committee to interest
financial men in floating the loan.
He also stated that the stipulation of
George Wharton Pepper, acting chair
man of the committee, that the money
be divided in the form of a flat and
equal distribution or increase to the
teachers, appealed to him as a fair one.
"Of course," said Mr. Smedley, "I
should like to sec the whole matter
definitely before the committee before
saying what I would do, but the plan
Bounds reasonable to me.
Wants to Proceed
"Any plan that will insure the teach
ers more money and at the same time
take care of the other cmplojes of tlie
board is satisfactory o me. My prin
cipal concern is that we proceed within
our legal limitations.
"Since Mr. Jenkins has declared the
plan of offering the bonds for salo over
the counter a legal one, we will ad
vertise it again and would just as soon
have it sold through the citizens' com
mittee as in any other way.
"We dlvised the counter sale method
of disposing of the bonds ns the only
method left for us to raise the necessary
money for the teachers. I will be in
the city all summer and will be ready
at any time to get together with
members of the Jinancc committee or
the board to consider tho question."

When arraigned before Magistrate

j&ST SWIM FAftttiER OUT
TO FIND WARM BA THING
Scientists Explain That Offshore Winds Have Merely Driven
Gulf Stream Eastward a Few Miles
Westerly wind, n misplaced gulf
trenm and n boisterous Labrador cur-"
rent, chilled by icebergs, account for. the
discomforts of bathing nt New Jersey
const resorts this season.
Government scientists, sweltering In
the heat of a Washington summer, hnvo
reduced the mystery of the cold surf
to n simple formula of weather condi
tions nnd ocean currents. They nro In
substantial agreement that the .cold
spring nnd offshore winds nre at tho
heart of tho trouble.
Here Is the explanation of nn engi
neer official of thc Const and Geodetic
Survey, which charts the consts and
currents :
"As thc gulf stream swings'up along
'the coast it tends to swing offshore.
With strong westerly winds during thc
winter 'it is blown farther offshore,
swinging bock in tho spring when the
winds subside.
"The Labrador current comes down
between the coast nnd the gulf stream
nnd disappears at Cape Hatteras, Pre
sumably It goes under the gulf stream
thcro as n subcurrent. That Is our
theory.
niamcei Labrador Current
"When we have more westerly winds
than usual, the gulf stream Is driven out
and the Labrador current pours Us
colder water In. There is more room for
the cold current to com down, and you
have colder water on the const, Wc
haven't made nny special study of the
situation this year, but I think that is
probably the correct solution. The
spring was cold and windy, and tho
probabilities nre the gulf stream Is tern-porarllyr-not
permanently oft thc
track."
Dr. C. S. Brooks, editor of- tho
Weather Review, official publication ot
tho Weather Bureau nt Washington .
approached the subject with the mind

DOES YOUR WATERFRONT

pHE United Stales Navy is selling its

Your City should take immediate ad

to secure one or more for its Fire Department.
It will mean a reduction in your water

down actual fire damages along the water.

Confirrantlon of the theory held by

that the gulf stream hns shifted s)lght

"There has undoubtedly been a slight
deviation of the gulf stream," he said.
"Wc haven't had definite reports to

DESTROYED BY FIRE
Shoe Stock and Machinery Is
Complete Loss Damage Es
timated at $50,000
NEARBY HOMES IN DANGER
The shoe factory of Jonathan Rob
erts, in thc rear of 4(57 Mechanic street,
amden, was destroyed by fire at 4
o'clock this morning. Thc loss of ma
chinery and stock wns nbout $50,000.
Thc fire originated, it Is believed, bv
spontaneous combustion in the boiler
room. Tho interior of the building,
which is a two-story one of brick, wus
completely destroyed. An order of shoes
just completed, worth $10,000. was
burned. The building is owned by the
Butcher estate.
Because of thc proximity of a num
ber of frame houses, two alarms wcro
MMlt iu.
When the firemen arrived the build
ing was blazing fiercely on thc first
floor. Thc men entered the building nnd
attempted to remove some of the pack
ing cases filled with shoes, t
The flames cut off.the door of the
shipping room, and there was no time
to break out window frames, so the fin
ished stock was abandoned. Streams
of water were kept playing on the frame
houses on either side.
in twenty minutes the flames were
roaring through thc second floor, nnd
before long thc roof collapsed, sending
n column of sparks higli in nir. The
wind blew the burning brands about the
neighborhood nnd upon the roofs of the?
houses.
A number of persons began removing
household effects, nnd the paint upon
the frame houses began to smoke and
blister. Eventually, however, the hre
was gotten under control. Several
small tires that broke out in thc vicinity
were quickly extinguished.
Thirty-five men nnd fifteen women
wcro thrown out of work by the fire.
The building, though small, was filled
with valuable machinery, all of which
