Coincidently came an nouEcenents from Milwaukee and Cleveland that the price of meat had dropped Tn Milwaukee two retail butchers quoted porterhouse and sir l0in steak at ten cents pound and other meats in proportion.

iy normal
The Norfolk club no longer has city
policemen to guard the park and to

management OF the Norfolk club has
refused to permit the Norfolk police
men to occupy sea.s In the grand

that policemen do not get reserved

DIRECT BENEFITS FROM CON
VENTION HALL.

Washington is extremely lucky in
being given an opportunity to get a
$4,000, 600 convention hall for $500 900.
In detail, its opportunity is this:
Under the leadership of Mrs Henry
F. DimOek, of New York city, there has
been organized the George Washing
ton Memorial Association" with mem
bers all over the country.
The association proposes to build q
convention hall in Washington as q
memorial to the Father Of His Coun-
try. It is to cost 100000.
Mrs Dimock says she has received
assurances that the money can be
raised by popular subscription If the
people of Washington indicate a will
ingness to DO their share. She asks
that We raise s2oOpoO here. and she

had been adopted, the problem of using
the power at Great Falls now would
be simplicity itself, for the Govern
ment would have title to AL water
rights; now its rights entitle it to
only about two-thirds or three-fourths
OF the water power, the balance being
controlled by the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company and the Potomac Elec-
tric Power Company, each of which
has certain rights because Of its con-
troll of land on the Maryland and Vir-
ginia sides of the river, respectively.
Another evidence of bad Judgment
in the past is offered by the recon-
mendations to Congress Of Gen George
h Elliott, the army engineer officer
in charge of the Washington Aqueduct
in March, 1894, wnen his report was
submitted, containing the following
notation:
BY an inspection Of the plat entitled
Great Falls Of the Potomac and vicin-
ity," which accompanies this report, it
VIII be seen thaE, thanks to the wise
foresight about forty years ago Of the
late General Meigs. the United States is
owner OF q total area OF these lands (at
Great Falls OF about 1905 acres, and
their cost TO the United States. includ-
ing the cost of the water rights belong
ing TO them, was S,720
1t viii undoubtedly Cost more today
to harness Great Falls than It would
have cost in 1894, but the desirability
OF putting the power, which now serves
no useful purposes, 10 work for the
benefit of the community is more in
sistent than ever For the immediate
advantages that would follow and for
the benefit Of future generations, We
can afford the initial expense We are
now spending about 100000 a year
for public lights, with the prospect of
spending more every year That would
pay interest on a pretty good-sized in
vestment.
The Washington times., 1910-11-17

guarantees to raise the other 81 100000
in other communities.
Coming so soon after we have had
a practical demonstration of the ma
terial benefits to be derived by In
ducing conventions TO come TO this
city, the opportunity presented by
Mrs. Dimock should be instantly
seized. We must have a convention
hall of large proportions if we are to
continue the convention campaign,
and here Is our chance to get it cheap.
A contribution from a Washington
business man to a fund for the convep-
tion hall is bound to bring quick and
substantial returns. 1t is the best in
vestment Washington business man
can make, for a convention hall means
big conventions, and big conventions
mean an increase of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in the amours of
money brought to Washington and
spent in Washington's business houses
every year.
For selfish reasons, if for no other,
Washingtonians should be found eager
to contribute to the convention hall
fund

Air in Schools.

| To the Editor Of The Washington Times
With your permission, I would Ike 10
correct the statements made By one OF
the writer's 70 your Mail Bag DsDart-
ment In regard TO proper ventilation in
the public schools OF Washington
The writer probably does not know
that q strict regulation is observed bv
all teachers which says thai al rooms
must be properly ventilated and a tsn-
perature record kept each day, taken al
the hours OF g. H. Il e. II, and ?. m
The writer surely must have visited q
school where substitute was II charge
who did not know OF the regulations, for
he would have never found such q state
OF affairs as he describes IN his letter
existing under a regularly appointed
teacher.
The teachers are not going 70 neglect
one OF their most important duties
which Is primarily taught them while
attending the normal school. All Of
them realize The importance OF chang
ing the air In their rooms, for now We
have three recesses during the day, and
even then. should the teacher have
neglected 10 attend to the windows and
ventilatoTs during recitstions, she al
ways does so at these brief iute-mis-
sions.
Of course, there are exceptions 20 this
