desks for 200 little learners. But the
capacity Of the Mounds Park building
is $50, and of the big Mckinley school,
1000.
Thus the total increase of capacity
means space for ALSO more pupils,
equal, as mentioned, to the opening of
ten standard eight-room schools. With
few exceptions every room in the new
school buildings accommodates fifty
pupils.
The cost Of the five new buildings
has been $162,853.26; of the remodeled
Humboldt building, $11,17961; Of the
five additions, $121,78 The total
expenditure for the betterment Of
school quarters has been S295,81836.
Nearly $4,000 has been expended an
nually in the permanent improvement
Of the older school buildings. For
new plumbing and sewer connections
and new steam heating plants at eight
buildings the cost was $34,676.74.
The value of the new plumbing and
sewer connections at the Rice school
was 1862; at the Grant school, $3.50;
at the Hancock school, $2,7OO; at the
Harrison school, $4,000. New plumb
ing at the Central high school cost So
611.18. New steam plants installed at
the Humboldt, the Hendricks and the
Jackson schools are worth, respective
ly, $8,672, $3.50 and $4,000.
Among useful improvements should
also be included the workshop put up
as an addition to the Jefferson school,
but built largely from material taken
from the old Humboldt building. The
workshop cost $4,000. Two stories in
height and 100 feet long, this structure,
used for the general repair of school
furniture and fixtures, is useful ad-
junct to public school facilities. The
varied machinery Of the shop obtains
power from an engine-a Weitbrecht
rotary-built by pupils Of the Mechan-
ic Arts high school.

Two, three or four may play, but in

The cards are dealt one at a time in

the widow is shown and taken to hand

Mnhi1a Societu News.

It is little wonder that these clear bright days arouse an irristible long, ing to be up and doing-anything, any body, anywhere, but in the homes where ones duties lie. Few there be who are strong enough to resist the call to revel in the sunshine and the sweet fresh winds that sweep in direct from the sparkling waters of the bay. The Country Club always has it's quota of plcnics. but to- day a party of young girls sought new field and the lot fell upon Monroe Park which the three guests of honor, Miss Margaret Mcdonald of Scotland, Miss Hattie Goode of Chicago and Miss Porcher of Fl .Paso, had never visited. The remainder of the party were Misses Ellen Jones, Mary Hybart. Mary Bull lock, Annie Fitzpatrick of New Orleans, Alphonse Hurtel. Mary Robbins.

Mission at Catholic Church Ended.

Ile mission Wnicn Rev. fdtner |. |. X. O'Connor, S. J., has been conducting at the Catholic Church of the Assump- tion. ended last evening. The mission lasted a week and was atttended by large congregations. Father oConnor. who is President of the College of Shreveport, is an eloquent preacher and his sOr- mons were admirable.
 Rev. Father OConnor took as his text last evening the prophetic words of the Virgin Mary, All generations shall call me blessed" and upon this he made the theme, the adoration of the Queen of Saints throughout all ages. This yea, said Father O'Connor, is the golden ju- bilee of the year in which the church had made the formal declaration that Mary's life was immaculate, and it was lltting that the eliminating sermon of this mission should be in sher praise.
 In beautiful language Father OConnor told of the worship of the Virgin. It was at her command that Christ performed His first miracle, and His last wor Is were to Her and for Her. John the BIp- list. the Apostles, the Disciples, all the Saints and martyrs, adored Her and to- day the Church worships Her
 And not only the generations that came after, Father o'Connor said. for those that went before, called Her blessed. Eve, outcast from Eden. propheticaily sang her praise, and all the prophets foretoId her justification.
 Ir concluding his sermon Father OCon nor drew lesson from the life of lhe Virgin.
 After the sermon he gave to those that had made the mission the plenary In- tlulgence granted by the Pope. Rev Father T. J. Madden, s. J., made the benediction.
 Father O'Connor left today for Waco. Texas. where he will conduct a mission of two weeks.

Pringle. it Is alleged. on Christ mas Eve night last. at the head of Gov ernment Street. held up and robbed two white persons.
