A far more serious problem than
finding school quarters for the children
who formerly tilled thirty seven good
sized classrooms, is the problem ot find
ing teftrhers for them, Some time ago
ii plan, wns devised to pay an extra
dollar n day to all teacher who would
volunteer to spend an extra hour in
teaching two part-time sessions, This
progmm, however, remitted, school au
thorities say, In n dccllno In the health
of the teachers, who were worn out
under the added strain.
It has been suggested many tlmcfl
recently that during the gcncrnl toucher
shortage with which the schools may
bo faced this full, many teachers might
be releused for duty it the curriculum
of the children In the beginner grades
was just halved and made similar to
the courses in many (list-class subur

The Armored Auto Lock,"
Built Into Your CarT
T
HERE is one sure way of preventing the possible theft of yonr
car have a Nulock built into it. Remember Nulock is not
merely any "new" lock.
When locked, Nulock nullifies the use of the steering apparatus
temporarily. The car cannot then be driven or towed away.
The Renuine Nuttxk is not attached, but built into the car. Nulock
is not made of aluminum nor any brittle metal, but of finest quality
cold rolled steel. The outside casing ! bronze (triple electro plated).
Hera is the vital fact that assures absolute safety and complete
control when driving Nulock in driving position, transmits a
diiect drive because the knurled sleeve encases a cold rolled steel
hexagon riveted to the steering column And mind you no bolt,
springs or pinions form any part of Nulock.
Nulock saves from 15 up on insurance. Every Nulock inspected
and approved by underwriter's laboratories.
