Secretary Writes the Local
Chamber That France Will
Advertise for American

Keen competition among the cit
ies of France during the present re
construction period is indicated by
a message received by the Chamber
of Commerce publicity bureau yes
terd' from Etienne Damour, secre
tary of the "Conference des Chefs dc
Publicite," a commercial boosting or
ganization of Paris.
Secretary Danjour says his club is
the largest advertising organization
in France. Paris is making every ef
fort to bring industries and the
right kind of people to its doors, he
states, and his organization has
been attracted by publicity circu
lated from the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce. ,
"Our destroyed cities in the battle
field are looking for the best meth
ods of reconstruction," said M. Da
mour, "and any information you can
give us on your methods would be a
grat help. Naturally every city in
France is. making every effort to
attract capital and industry, and
they are being rapidly rebuilt."
M. Damour, in his letter, asks for
detailed information of the methpds
used by the Omaha Chamber to col
lect money, mediums used to adver
tise the city, approximate costs of
advertising in American magazines,
and the results obtained.

CHICAGO SCHOOL
TEACHERS TO GET
BLANKET RAISE
Board Answers Demand for 60
Per Cent Increase by
Granting $400 to $500
More.
Chicago, Jan. 23. Chicago school
teachers, who yesterday appealed to
the board of education for a 60 per
cent wage increase, will receive a
blanket raise of $400 to $500 per
year, George P. Arnold, chairman
of the board, announced today.
Representatives of the teachers
indicated they would accept the
award as temporary relief, but would
continue their fight to put teaching
on a wage plane at least equal to
that of common laborers. At present
the laborers receive considerably
more than highly trained teachers,
the instructors claim.
They asked a minimum of $1,200
and a maximum of $2,500 for the
6,365 elementary teachers, with
other classes in proportion.
Jesse J. Walther, instructor of
subnormal children, who teaches a
class of 20 ranging from boys simply
backward to others who are feeble
minded, threw the hearing into an
uproar when she declared that two
of her feebleminded pupils, both
17-year-old boys, had gone to work
at higher salaries than she received.
Spain has made obligatory the an
nual celebration of an arbor day, a
part of the expense of tree planting
being borne by municipalities.

Necessary Expense Eats
Up More Than Regular Pay
Of Omaha School Teachers
Questionnaires Being Returned to Superintendent
Beveridge Indicate $190 Yearly Deficit On an
Average of 26 Teachers Information Sought by
Board of Education to Guide Fair Salary Scale.
Omaha public school teachers
seem to be spending more for neces
sary expenses than they are earn
ing in the form oi regular salaries,
according , to questionnaires being
returned to J. H. Beveridge, super
intendent. ' v
Xhe purpose of obtainingrthis in
formation is to enable the Board of
Education to act intelligently when
considering what should be a fair
salary scale for the teaching staff.
A tabulation made yesterday after
noon of the expenditures and earn
ings of 26 teachers showed an aver
age of $190 deficit. These overlaps
were made up by some who bad ex
tra work in evening schools, summer-
schools, or by living at home
with parents, and in other ways.
For Single Teachers.
The average cost of various items
of living expenses for the 26 teach
ers whose questionnaires were tab
ulated, are given as follows, these
figures being for last year and these
teachers all "being single:
Board and room, $607; laundry,
$53.50; apparel, $410; street car fare,
$45; philanthropy, including church,
$68; culture, $23; entertainment, $41;
personal attention, $50; professional
advancement, $50; travel, $86; sick
ness, $45; dentist, $19; insurance,
$53; savings, $95; payment of debts
and other expenditures, $77.
These 26 teachers are believed to
be fairly representative of the rank
and file of more than 1,000 o?-the
public schools, 750 of whom are paid
$1,400 or less per year. The item
shown as "savings" includes bank,
building and loan, bonds and war
savings stamps.
One teacher listed her wearing ap
parel at $800 for the year, another
at $785, four at $500, one at $450,
one at $425 and four at $400. The
lowest annua! expenditure for ap
parel was $100. The items of phil
anthropy ranged from $10 to $200;
laundry, .$15 to $104; entertainment,
$10 to $100; sickness, nothing to
$300.
Affects Teaching Value.
A man teacher listed his expendi
ture for apparel at $98 and enter
tainment at $3 for last year. On
the back of his questionnaire he
wrote the following statement:
"Clothing allowance is not enough
to keep us from being shabby. , I

OFFICERS DENY .
POLICE CONNIVED
- IN BURGLARIES
Both Inspector Patullo and De
tective Chief Dunn Say
Story Is False.
Absolute denial of a story printed
in a newspaper yesterday afternoon
in which Chief of Detectives Dunn
was quoted as having charged Oma
ha policemen with operating in col
lusion with burglars and thieves was
made by Police Inspector Pattullo
and the detective chief.
"The alleged charge against the
policemen is unwarranted and there
was no basis for the statement
against them," Detective Chief Dunn
declared.
Dunn's statement is alleged to
have been made following the arrest
of Frank Grady, 1115 South Twenty
eighth street, in connectiSn with the
robbery of the L. & B. grocery, 2403
Hickory street
Though the policenjan on the beat
in the vicinity of the robbery was
questioned by Chief Dunn as to
whether any burglars had been seen
operating thereabouts, at no time
was the policeman under surveil
lance, the chief said. '
"No word concerning suspicion;
of policemen operating in collusion
with thieves has come to me," In
spector Pattullo said.
The inspector and th detective
chief declared that Grady who was
arrested while attempting to sell '
stuff that had been stolen trom tne
L. & B. grocery, implicated no po
licemen in the burglary.
Five Soap Peddlers Held
In Connection With Thefts
Five soap peddlers were arrested
Thursday for investigation in con
nection with the burglary of the res
idence of R. M. Johnson, 2411 Tem
pleton avenue, Thursday afternoon

scarf-pin weretaken by the thieves.

names as-P. H. McFillen, Merchants
hotel; L. C. Cherry. Chicago; Lee
B. Tebo, Peoria, 111.; Donald S.
Gleason, Davenport, la., and Arthur
Heekin. Chicago.
Neighbors informed police they

the sale of coap, enter the Johnson
home. Police have received no re
ports of robberies ' of other houses
in that neighborhood during the past
week
