faction demands, in their platform, the

practice of giving railroad passes to pub

NO WASHINGTON BUSTS
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Secretary Of Board Of Education Thinks
Money Is Needed for Other
Purposes.

The public schools OF Washington will
not have copies OF the bust Of George
Washington, as provided in House bill
10, s6J. which was referred to the Com
missioners for consideration and report.
The bill provides for the expenditure
of s. zoo for purchasing busts from VIII
son Macdonald. a New York sculptor.
but Secretary Rodrick. of the Board OF
Education, says that the teachers necG
more pay. and there are theasand and
one things the schools need more thar
busts of George Washington. Conse-
quently, he recommends adverse action
on the bill.
Commissioner Macfarland has recon-
mended to his associates that the House
Committee on District Affairs be in
formed In accordance with the report
OF Secretary Rodrick.
Mr. Rodrick, in commenting on the
lack of funds in the public school treas
ury, says the local teachers are being
approached by school officials from O.her
cities that are offering larger salaries
than are provided in the appropriation
bill'' for the District.

CHURCH ORGAN PIPES
FULL OF SOLID ICE
Musicians Curious to Learn What Effect
This Will Have Upon Instrument
in Lutheran Memorial Church.

Organ builders generally are interested
to know In what condition the magnlfi-
cent organ at the Lutheran Memorial
Church Will be left when the weather
has become sufficiently warm to thaw
out the Zee at present in the organs pipes.
The Lutheran Church was badly dam
aged by fire two weeks ago. and ever
since that time the pipes OF the organ
have been filled with ice, the water
thrown on the roof of the building hav-
in~ fallen in a drenching shower all
over the instrument. There has been
no opportunity for the organ TO thaw
out since the fire. as the weather has
been freezing, and 1T was thought dan
gerous 10 try artificial heat lest the
pipes should be cracked. Now thaC
warmer weather has come the ice in
the organ pipes will melt gradually.
These pipes are both steel and wood.
Naturally. there is every reason to be-
heve that the pipes have been expanded
and every tone of the organ damaged.
Members Of the congregation expect
the organ to be hopelessly out OF gear.
and there is no 2oubt that a new one
will be needed. The old organ was built
many years ago. but had magnificent
tone The insurance on IL was 5000.
Appraisers are still examining the
church TO fix the damage.
