Plan Proposed by Walter C. Allen,
Head Of the Electrical
Department.

Washington will have a model New
Year eve party if the plans Of Walter
c. Allen, head of the electrical depart
ment Of the District government, ma
terialize.
The District official is preparing to
provide Pennsylvania avenue. from
Peace monument to the Treasury. with
four times the amount of illumina tion
it has at present. and he is Of the
opinion that the most appropriate time
to convert the historic thoroughfare
into great white way will be at
gives way to the new.
"The plan l have in mind is to turn
off the present lights at 11:J5 o'clock
New Year eve. allow the street to re-
main in darkness for five minutes, and
then fash on the new illumination
Simultaneously with the birth of the
new year" said Mr.. Allen yesterday.
The contrast in illumination would be
SO marked as to make the Improvement
Immediately apparent.
To Ask for Approval
While the suggestion has not been
taken up with the Commissioners. it is
the intention of the electrical department
officials to bring it to their attention at
an early date. Work probably VIII be
started this week on the laying of the
concrete foundations for the ornamental
posts which are 10 hold the new lamps
In place of the seventy-eight lamps of
acknowledgement each, now used for light
ing Pennsylvania avenue between the
points designated, the department pro-
poses to install 100 lamps of 1,500-candle-
power each Thus, the number of lamps
and the candlepower capacity will be
doubled The new system may be ready
for try-out by Christmas. but Mr.-Allen
is certain he will have 1t IN operation o!
the beginning of the year.
Attention already is being given to the
question of installing better lights in the
section bounded by 7th and 18th streets,
PENNSYLVANIA and New York avenues,
and it is the plan of Mr.. Allen to get
this work under way early in the spring
II is the preser- intention to provide the
area between i'm and 10Th streets, u
street and Pennsylvania avenue With
lamps of the same size as those TO De N
stalled on the latter thoroughfare.
The section extending north or q street
to and including New York avenue prob
ably will be lighted with incandescent
lamps similar in design TO those now in
oneration on 7th street and in front of
the White House.
Removal of Overhead Wires Ordered
Although the electrical department has
granted a permit for the replacing of the
telephone pole at the southwest corner
Of nth and G streets northwest, it has
served notice that the new pole and all
overhead wires at this point must be re-
moved by not later than April ].
The pole in question serves as an out
,at fo, the conduit system of the tele-
granh companies to government buildings
located in that vicinity. Mr.. Allen said
yesterday that the department mas given
fhe COMPANIES until April 1 to get the
wires under ground and that the new

Republicans to Fight.

II the democrats are determined on
making the currency bill a party meas

Glass-Owen bill through the Senate under
whip and spur. they may expect strong
resistance on the part of the republicans.
1t is the intention of the republicans on
the committee to frame currency Dill
which will call for from one to tour

owned by the public and the control OF
these banks to be in the hands OF the
government officials. II is the belef or

individual members done more than to
take the various candidates under con-

the board members hold a high opinion
of all the local school men and women
mentioned.
That the schools will run on without
friction or any unusual difficulties was
the belief expressed by several familiar
with the educational system last even
ing. 1t is pointed out that plans for the
entire year have been outlined and that
all officers and teachers know as we'll

will be doing toward the end of the

Retiring superintendent 0bjec-
tions to Soliciting Contributions
of Pupils for Testimonial.

Washington's next superintendent OF
public schools, some of the members of
the board of education think, will be
chosen from the FIVE persons named be-
low:
Ernest l.. Thurston. assistant superin-
tendent in charge of white schools.
Miss Elizabeth V. Brown, director of
primary instruction.
Stephen e. Kramer, supervising prin-
cipal of the third division.
DR.. Willard s. Small, principal of East
ern High School.
Allan Davis. principal of Business High
School.
That is the consensus of opinion among
persons who are familiar with the school
situation here. and who have been study
ing closely the chances of those VINO have
been mentioned for the position. A num-
ber of the persons who have been sug-
gested have withdrawn their names from
consideration, it is said and are giving
their support to others who seem most
likely to- be selected.
While it is not possible to say at pres
ent just what attitude the board OF edu-
cation will assume when it meets in con-
ference in the near future, it is believed
to be highly probable that it will be de-
cided to choose the next head OF the
schools from the ranks of Washington
educators

what he lacks in stature he has in
heart. He was very, very fond of
the children.
But the children's fairyland was
shattered. Banker Paulsen sudden
ly turned against his wife. He said
he could not live with her and they
separated, and finally he cruelty
turned her out with John and Mary,
and she was without funds.
1t was then that Joe took on his
own shoulders the responsibility of
the two orphans and the wife whose
husband had turned her out. Joe
went to work and gave almost all of
his meager salary to the three who
had no money.
But Mrs. Paulsen had suffered
more than nerves or health can
stand and yesterday they took her
away to the County Hospital
wreck.
Joe is still taking care of John and
Mary.
