Things to FORGET.

II you see a tall fellow ahead of a crowd.
A leader of men, marching fearless and
proud.
And you know OF a tale whose mere tell
ing aloud
Would cause his proud read TO In anguish
be bowed,
It's a pretty good plan to forget II.
II you know OF a skeleton hidden away
In q closet and guarded and kept from
the day
In the dark and whose showing, whose
sudden display.
Would cause grief and sorrow and life
long dismay.
It's a pretty good plan to forget II.
II you know OF a thing hat will darken
the Joy
OF a man or a woman, a girl or a boy.
That will wipe out a smile or the least
way annoy
A fellow or cause any gladness to cioy,
It's a pretty good plan to forget 1t.

SEPARATE COMMENCEMENTS
FOR THREE HIGH SCH00sL

On the grounds that high school COM
mencement exercises have been costly
and ostentatious, the board adopted a
resolution providing that Western, Cen
trail. and Eastern high schools have sep
arate graduation ceremonies this year
instead of the general exercises usually
held
The ruling was in compliance with the
recommendation Of the several princi-
pals. Supt. Stuart said in indorsing the
action of the board:
Should this provision be adopted,
shall endeavor TO bring about greater
simplicity in the commencement exer-
cises. This involves the matters Of dress
expense. decorations. music. and flowers,
and I feel that II these matters are left
to the management Of the respective
high school principals. they VIII be able
TO reform some Of the abuses Of unnec-
essary display and expense which have
hitherto attended the graduation exer-
cises"

SANITY IS 10 make conditions ideal in the
Capital, more than anywhere else
I am therefore IN favor Of restraining
and regulating the loan companies. I
would not want 1t thought that I have
any personal feeling against such COM
panies, which are doubtless good institu-
tons in their way and serve a good pur-
pose at times, notably in cases of Illness
or death. when heavy money expense
overtakes a family not prepared for 1t,
by no fault Of the family IN such
cases loan companies have been known to
have served a useful purpose.
But these companies must be limited
by law as to Just exactly what they may
and may not do, exactly as banking and
trust companies are limited, and il is TO
aid in doing this that I purpose to try
TO write the amendments I have sug-
gested into the law when 1t comes up in
the Senate.
The lender will find that regulation
viii work to his advantage in many
ways, just as supervision and restriction
will certainly work to the advantage OF
the borrower
Statements for borrowers.
Senator Paynter's proposed amendment
in regard to furnishing borrowers with
statements is couched IN the following
language:
Every such person. firm, voluntary as
ISOLATION, joint stock company, incorpo-
rated society. or corporation conducting
such business shall furnish the borrower
a written. typewriter, or printed state
ment at the time the loan is made, show
Ing IN English. In clear and distinct terms,
the amount OF the loan. the date when
loaned and when due, the person TO whom
the loan Is made, the name OF the lender,
the amount Of interest charged; and the
lender shall give the borrower a plain
and complete receipt for all payments
made on account OF said loan ct the time
such payments are made"

the board agrees with the labor bodies
that the District should have the funds,
but does not believe It would be possible,
even with such a formidable array OF
citizens demanding it.
If the Central Labor Union had as
much experience with Congress as this
board has, Il Is possible they would not
be so optimistic" Mr.. Hoover said 1T
is manifestly true that the only way the
District could get the benefits Of this
act would be 70 get Il through a college "
Mrs. J. Eakin Gadsby and Mrs. F. H.
Newell. OF the Womens National Rivers
and Harbors Congress, appeared before
the board and asked that courses In con-
servation Of resources of the nation be
started in the District schools. The board
took no action.

PAINTER TO AMEND
LOAN SHARK BILL
Reduction Of Interest Rate
Senator's Plan.
PROPOSES $500 LICENSE FEE
Lending Companies Are TO Enjoy
Special Privilege Which They
should Pay For, He says, in First
Interview Given Since He Came TO
Senate-NO Personal Feeling.

Making still more stringent the loan
shark bilP' now before the Senate. Sen
ator Paynter. OF Kentucky, will offer a
number OF amendments TO the measure
as soon as It comes up for consideration.
The bill has been reported from the COM
rlittee. is now on the calendar. and is
liable to come up any day.
Erroneous reports as 20 possible amend
ments to the bill having obtained cir
culation yesterday, Senator Paynter con-
sented 70 explain to reporter for The
Washington Herald his intentions in re-
gard 10 the measure, in the first inter-
view he has given since he came TO the
Senate. Under the terms Of the bin as
IL is now phrased, It will be lawful for
the lsnder to receive 2 per cent per
month on all amounts not exceeding
$500. Senator Paynter proposes to offer
an amendment 10 the effect that a fat
rate OF per cent per month shall be
lawful on loans Of $50 and less, and that
only / per cent per month shall be law
full on amounts above $50 and up to $780,
License Fee of $500.
Senator Paynter will also offer an
amendment TO the bill to make the lie
cense fee $500 instead Of 500, as now
proposed.
In addition. he viii ask to have incor-
porated in the bill a provision that the
loan companies shall furnish borrowers
with statements at the time loans are
made showing in clear and distinct terms
the details Of transactions.
L feel" Senator Paynter said in dis
cussing his proposed amendments. that
an effort ought to be made to protect
poor and improvident people against high
rates Of interest. The bill as It now
stands is not stringent enough, and if
we make it mere so I do not think that
the lending companies ought to feel ag-
grieved.
p Under the law as 1t is to be framed.
these lending companies will enjoy q
special privilege greater than that granted
TO any other persons who are in the
business of lending money, and as a
privileged class, made so by the law, they
ought not criticise or attempt to defeat
the safeguards we want TO throw around
their customers.
In my home city OF Frankfort, KY,
a place OF about 1900 population, there
has never been any necessity for such
lending companies, Of which there are
entirely too many in Washington. espe-
ciaIiy as this is the Capital OF the nation.
To have so many lending companies here
Is 3 bad example. The tendency con-

lower than they are in the District, they
are invariably higher in the matter of
education.
For many years the Commissioners
did control the schools, and II was not
TO their credit Why did Congress take
the schools away from them? Because
that body knew the Commissioners did
not know how to administer the schools.
They have not even co-operated with
this board. What did they do toward
repairing buildings that the health officer
complained of? Did they make the re-
pairs? No; they merely called of the
health officers.
Coal in the Attic.
They even went behind closed doors
in that matter Of sanitation. They were
afraid OF the press. Then they gave US
new buildings. Have those buildings been
completed satisfactorily? No. Didn [
they build a structure at Mount Pleasant
that made it necessary TO put the coal
in the attic and the children In the
cellar. and damp at that?
Didn't they dig a lot Of wells at a
cost ranging from 500 TO $4,000 for Us.
and now we can't get water from the
wells, and it isn't fit to drink them And
yet they want to place the schools in
charge of people who show such lack Of
ability!
Possibly it is not proper for the board
to go on record in their own defense in
this matter, and I do not ask the board
to stand for what I am saying. But we
are not working for the Commissioner
thank God-we are working for the
courts-people who have some sense.
Defense of Children.
I'm a quarrelsome fellow, but my
whole heart is in the defense of the
children. and the school system is better
to-day than It has ever been in the Dis
trict-. do not believe Congress will pay
any attention TO this bill. I'm friend Of
the working man and his children. ami
these Commissioners don't know anything
about that side Of the case"
A letter was read from the Central
Labor Union, signed by Chairman P J.
Ryan, of the legislative committee OF that
