( I T OWN SALARIES $ 1,000 Pittsburgh Councilman Kacoausend Many Similar Kadoctioaa Pittsburgh, Dec. s.—An action which probably is without precedent in the history of legislative bodies in Pitts burgh, the county or the State, was ta ken as a master stroke to insure econo my in the city's finances vesterday, when the city's nine CouAciliuvn, during consideration of next year's budget, cut their own salaries 11,000 a year each, and passed a motion which prac tically demands that every city official, from the Mayor down through his cabi net. volunteer to accept a proportionate cut. Other motions which were considered and which will i>e taken up after a conference with the Mayor and his cab inet will effect reductions of from 5 to 15 per cent, on every salary above $1,600.

MIGHT BOX WIFE'S EARS • Justified Under Some Circumstances, Judge Says Baltimore, Dec. a.—A man is justi fied in boxing his wife's ears when she pays more attention to her clothes than i she does to her children, ruled Justice I Smith in the Police Court here. Frank J Cohen was arrested on a warrant sworn j out by his wife, who complained that he came home the other night and, while she Was peacefully reclining on a lonuge, boxed her ears. * Cohen told of the taste of his better half or stylish clothes, of his efforts to buy her as many new gowns as he could afford and of her inclination for amusements. When he went home the night the trouble occurred, he said, he found his two small children neglected on the street and his wife gone. While he was out looking for her she returned. It was then, he almitted, that he struck her. ) ,- The law does not give you the ! right to bos your wife's ears,'' Jus- I tiee Smith -aid, "but in this ease there was considerable provocation.

SKIRTS MUST BE FULL TaUor.m*de Season Decreed for Styles of 1015 Toledo, Dec. s.—The style commit tee of the National Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers' Association will decree to-day that the tight skirt must i give way to fullness below the waist line. The association so decided yes terday afternoon at the first day's aps ! tion of the annual convention. The coats and skirts are to be short er, and almost entirely there will be a tailor-made season in' 1915 for Amer ! ican women. In working out the styles the idea is to have more sense in the fashions. 1 All is modest and conservative, foreign suggestions of color or style being elimi i i.ated. George W. Forney, of Cleve ! land, was elected president. SHOT BY HIGHWAYMEN Robert Voy, Honesdale Trackwalker, Owes liife to Postal Receipts Honeslale, Pa., Dec. 5.—A roll of po>tal savings receipt', amounting to *l2O in value, probably saved thy life of Robert Voy, aged 56, an Brie track va'ker, when he was held up by ina>Ued highwaymen in his shanty .abut; tlie main line near Stockport." One buUet tired by the robbers entered his right lung and the other was defleetui ov the packet in an inside pocket. Vov staggered two miles to ihe station and was taken to the Susquehanna hos pital, where he is ir. a critical condi tion, the bullet not having been located. Revenge is believed to have been the motive for the crime, as ouly was taken. MARINE'S BODY IN CAMDEN Andrew Priestley Was Shot by Mexi can Woman Philadelphia, Dec. s.—The body of Andrew Priestley, brought from Vera Cruz on the transport San Marcos, which reached the Philadelphia Navy Yard on Thursday night, has been ta ken in charge by Johai Crawford, an un dertaker, of East Camden. Priestley, whose home was at 50 Al berta street, East Cam.;en, was a wa ter tender on the battleship Texas and was killed at Vera XJruz by a bullet from a revolver fired by a Mexican woman. He had been nine years in the service. The funeral services probably will be held on Monday. INAUGURATE NEW LINE OF WORK TO BELP FARMER Weather Bureau. Taking Up Special •tody. Which Will Be a Benefit to the Agriculturalist as Well as the Ctonaral Public Washington, "D. C., D*c. s.—Several now lines .of work for the benefit of the publie, anil especially of the farmers, according to the annual report of the Weather Bureau were inaugurated dur ing the year. Others recently begun have been extended into portions oif th« country where the growing important'* of agricultural pursuits have madt them of increased value. A special service given to orchard ists and raisers of tdbacco, oranges, cranberries and certain other crops has been rendered by means of frost warnings issued in spring and autumn. Close attention is paid by the fore casters to the needs of these crops at critical periods, and the growers are kept fulllv advisA.l as to the dangers of frost and are warned of the neces sity of resorting to measures oi pro tection through artificial heating and smudging, or flooding the bogs in the case of cranberries. The establishment of a "'Cattle Re gion Service," through which bulletins ■containing statements of weather con ditions over the stock ranges of the Texas panhandle and adjacent regions are issued, constitutes a new fcaturo of the bureau's work. This has been particularly effective as affecting the cattle industry of the great Southwest, having proved of such material value as to create a demand for its continu ance throughout the entire year, in stead of from April to October as at present. Another opportunity for service has been found in the timbered regions of j the west during periods of unusual i drivight. This has been taken advan j tage of through the issue of special | forecasts of hot dry winds, which are : disseminated directly to the officials of j the fire patrol of the Forest Service and other similar organizations, placing l them on their guard* at times of un usual danger of fire inception. A fea ture of considerable moment to scien tists ami students of meteorology' was the daily issue of a weather map for j the entire Northern hemisphere, begun j by the bureau last January j natefly, the issue of this map was ne cessarily suspended at the outbreak of the present European war. A special investigation of orchard conditions in western North Carolina, where systematic observations are be- I ing carried on in a number of orchards . by the Weather Bureau in co-operation [ with the State Experiment Station, I promises to give valuable results. These studies have in view the estab i lishment of the influence of topography on local climate, the ultimate object | heing to differentiate the safe and un safe locations for orchards in such re , gions. Explorations of the upper air and j studies of solar radiation were con- I tinued bv the bureau during the year. ; No small light has been thrown upon I obscure features of weather control through the information already ob tained of conditions prevailing in the i upper atmosphere, an-1 continued in j vestigations ar e expected to disclose ad ditional valuable facts. Active field ! work of this character was transferred | during the year from Mount Weather, j a., to Port Omaha, Neb., where more i favorable conditions for atmospheric | exploration exist. CYCLONE RELIEF COMPLETED Wilkes-Banc Committee Spends $25,- 000 for Storm Sufferers WiPkes-tßarre, Dec. s.—The subcom mittee of the Cyclone General Relief , committee completed its work yesterday ; and reported the distribution of $25,- 1000 of the $26,000 fund it had at it* I disposal. Nineteen houses destroyed by j the cyclone on August 20 have been rebuilt anil funds have "been distributed among widows and permanently in jured victims. i Approximately SIB,OOO was expend - ed in the reconstruction of homes ami $6,000 was spent in repairing other I buildings, tne owners of which were in no financial condition to bear tiheir loss. : About 100 property owners who suffer | ed losses from Phe storm did not applv for aid.

EDUCATIONAL STANDARD IN DENMARK VERY HIGD All Teachers Must Be Able to Instruct In Music Whether They Can Sing Or Not, Says, H. W. Foght, of tho Bureau of 'Education Washington, D. C., Pw, 5, —Only one |mrson in 1,000 in IViumirk. is un a.Ule to real and w rite, as compared with seven oift of every 1,0011 in the United States. Of 260,000 Danish eihililron orf sv<hool age, only 370 failed to attend school dtiring itbt> year .1911. Thcwo and otiher facte are brought out by H. W. iVgbt, of the Unrted States Bureau of Bdneation. MT. Foght recently visited Dontntiirk to make personal tnvestigiaitjon con cerning school conditions And hes pub lished the results in a Wlletin jut»t is sued. Compulsory attendance upon school, brtbween the a,ges of 7 and 14, is no i strictly enforced in Denmark that "the i few Who persist in avoiding their leg.il rwpansi b i lit ies are punished so se verely that they are gifeul enough to | change their minds.'' According to Mr. Foght the Danish schools are MII eix tfcavs in the week, giving at least 2 4fi sdhootl days to tlie i yew. The people are so imbued with •the value of education thrift they will ! £» to any extremity to keep cihildren 1 in school. School life is made attractive by giving a toirge place to popular songs. " Aill tcarters, suys Mr. Foght, "must be able to instruct in music whether they can swig or not. The teacher almost in variably accompanies the song with a v io«in, wihie.h all teach ors know how to use.'' School music iiveluiiea patriotic, religious and folk songs. DanMi seflioofe do not use n spelling book. Spelling is taught as a part of the reading process. Ormnmv is like wise taught largely through "doing," as Mr. Foght expressed it. "Dicta tion is given from some classic; this is then analyzed and rules of grammar are. applied as needed." The Bible is atrongtv emphasized in ail the schools. Children at school wear slippers and the girls wear short bloomer-like skirts, j I In their physical exercises, which have ' a prominent p'.ace in even the rural I schools of Denmark, the pecoilii'ar dress j of the girl* servos thorn well in giving ! I freedom oif movement. Mr. Foght '"lays that the secwt of i Denmark's high place iu education a? affairs lies in the hold which the teac.li- ! I er lias upon the entire people. Every j teacher is a professional teacher. The i saiku-ies are among the highest given to 'amy class of workers. Teachers' houses with valuable piece* otf l«uid attached, are furnished in a.hlition to the already liberal salaries. Teaching; is, frotm every standpoint, made hon orable in Denmark. The teacher has i hiih social ranking, is a leader in both I j church and State, anil is invariably | pensioned for disability or age. | Teachers so thoroughly furnish and i working under such happy conditions very naturally exemplify a higher or der of teaching. Mr. Pog'bt says: "The Danish teacher draws upon their , broad, general reading and experience for much o>f the ola»* room materials, instead of depending upon textbooks l to furnish everything required."
