Teachers Must Actually Work
For Full Numbers Days In Term
Teachers in the public schools'in
North Carolina must actually tea ii
120 days if the term b only ns
montlis. or 160 days il the term i.
eight months and days in which
teachers meetings or convention
may not be deducted from the ac
tual number of teaching days, ac
cording to an opinion just halide I
down by Attorney General Dennis
G Brummitt.
A second opinion by Mr, Brum
mitt also interprets the new school
jaw so that all the proceeds froth
fines and forfeitures, penalties and
dog taxes must go toward tlie* •»>;!
of maintaining the six months
school term, and cannot be used to
ward the eight months term as some
had contended.
The opinion relating to tlie* length
of terms and whether days, spe d in
attending conferences might br de
ducted from the total number of
school days, was given at the re
quest of h. C Brndgcn. division of
supervision, state department, il
public instruction, while the opin
ion relating to fines and forfettu."s
and whether some of this might be
Used to assist the eight, months
terms was given nt tlie reriuest of
Dr. A T. Allen, state superintend
ent of public instruction.
In his opinion regarding the num
ber of days which teachers must
actually teach, Mr. Brummitt firs'
cities the law. which specifies Urn.
the school must he in session 120
days for the six montlis term and
360 days for the eight months tern,,
they say:
"I am of the opinion that ".i
tendanrr upon these teachers meet
ings cannot be counted . as days j
spent in teaching by the u£t the (
teachers are required 'to teach' for
the required number ot days. 1 i
Interpret this to mean to engage in
the actual teaching process in the j
school room "
Wath regard to the fines and for- i
felt tires, Mr. Brummitt points on'
tliat “under 1 lie Hanctxk art, ti"'
proceeds of these fines, forfeitures, j
penalties, dog taxes and poll ‘ax
constitute a part of the fund for j
the six months term and may not |
be used as heretofore."

All Bologney As
! To No Booze In
The Embassies
Siluatien Not So Good As Dryi
May Think It Is. Americans
Want It.
Washington.—Perhaps some 01
the dry brfthren in the more re
mote sections will sleep smilingly
tonight under the quaint illusion
that some of the embassies heie
have gone dry and that there is
more or less hope of drying them
all up In the near future.
In the interest of truth and light,
it must be said that such an idea
is considerably exaggerated and
that it is considered very doubtful
whether there will be any change
whatever In the diplomatic liquor
situation, despite all the recent com
motion.
It may be that the pique of Brit
ish Ambassodor Sir Esme Howard
will lead him lo stop serving alco
holic beverages at his official func
tions; he may even carry out hi?
i threat to stop importing any more
I bottles into the embassy, though he
; will do neither of those things if
I he listens to the Americans her
who are accustomed to attend his
parties.
Sir Esme Isn't Pleased.
There is no question that Sir
! Esme has been very sore at all the
criticism and publicity which his
embassy has received merely be
cause it took advantage of the dip
lomatic liquor immunity enjoyed by
all foreign diplomats. It is also true
that his prestige as dean of tne
diplomatic corps is sufficient to
withstand any resulting social oo
loquy.
But the embassy isn't dry now
and a large consignment of wet
goods is already en route to it over
the high seas and only when all
that is consumed will one be able to
tell just what's going to be done.
Other diplomats have made it
perfectly plain that they aren't go
ing to give up the wines and liquors
: io which they are accustomed. If
| the British curtail on their Ama.i
| can guests they will be virtually
I alone in that respect, and common
belief is that not even the British
are going to stop serving what ,hcv
please among themselves and a.
orivate functions.
Foreign diplomats here. always
jealous of their privileges, generally
are only too happy to treat thi'sty
American friends—and few, if an:,
are the American friends who are
not even more delighted about it
than their hosts.
Wines and liquors have become
an arm of diplomacy under -he
Volstead act. Sinister and insidi
ous as the thought may be. diplo
mats thave found themselves im
mensely more popular and the
Americans a whole lot morr inter
ested in their affairs. Obviously,
the Anti-Saloon league and the
Methodist Board of Tempera v. \
Prohibition and Public Morals
mean nothing to an ambassad>r
But there are cabinet officials, sen
ators and other officials and public
men who can help him directly or
indirectly in promoting the impr
ests of his country. And good diolo

have “gone grapefruit."
While doctors scold and fashion
; writers insist that curves are com
ing back, the ladies of Manhattan—
actresses, stenographers, debutantes
| and wives—are sighing and dining
| on grapefruit and olives, grapefruit
and tomatoes, grapefruit and eggs,
| grapefruit and cucumbers, grape
| fruit and grapefruit.
It's called ‘the Hollywood diet."
and it's an 18-day endurance tcit
in which the victim is supposed to
lose a pound a day. 'If it happens
! to agree with her, and she gams
on it, that's just too bad.)
At the end of 18 days, presumably
looking about for dressmakers to
lake reefs in all her lrocks, she is
directed to go back to a normal die:
for at least a month. Then more
dressmakers can let out those reefs.
For those 18 days -every meal is
planned. Breakfasts are all the
same—half a grapefruit, one slice
of Melba toast, black coff:?.
Lunches and dinners, including the
ubiquitous grapefruit, vary.
For instance, here's what they get
to rat on the third day:
Lunch—1-2 grapefruit, one egg,
1-2 head lettuce, eight slices of cu
cumber (without any oil.) Dinner
—one lamb chop, carefully berefit
of all its fat before it is broiled, one
egg, three radishes, two olives, and
1-2 grapefruit.
And here is a marvelous dinner —
Broiled steak, minus butter and
with alt the fat trimmed off, water
cress without any dressing, 1-2
grapefruit!
Eggs and tomatoes get almost as
good a break ns grapefruit. Not
quite, for the average consumption
of grapefruit is 1 1-2 per day. But
some days the victim consumes
three eggs and hardly a day passes
that she doesn't down at least one
tomato.
The restaurants have taken it up.
All the way from Park Avenue hotel
i cafes to Sixth Avenue delicatessens.
The procedure is something like
this: “Take it away," says the vic
jtim to the waiter, with a wistful
shudder, as he approaches with a
! menu. ''I'll take the fifth day din
; ner ”
i mats are not supposed to overlook
j any good bet to improve personal
I relations with them.
I Serving liquor to Americans has
actually become a serious drain on
some of the diplomatic missions
whose budgets are restricted. In
fact, at attache of one legation re
cently wrote complainingly to a
Washington newspaper of "the ex
traordinary thirst of American
legislators and public officials.”
"It is embarrassing," he wrot».
"to turn a deaf ear always to in
fluential American officials when
they make the fact exceedingly ob
vious that they are not annoyed
when packages of choiee liquors are
thoughtfully sent to their homes."
