that its equipment. appearance. cleanli-

be desired. and surprising anything OF
which New York could boast.
Regarding the system under which
Center market is managed, Mrs. Heatl,
discovered conditions which she said she
considers go toward increasing the cost
OF living to the consumers She believes
mat the market should be directed by a
commission under the District govern

concern, 50 that rentals could be con-
verted into lower prices for the commodi-
ties for sale

Mrs. Walker intends to complete hel
full course at Miss Woodberrys school

will. however. live with her husband in
the meantime. The bridegroom informed
his bride as soon they We're married
, that he intended keeping her at school.
'Of course I didn't give school or edu-

married my husb-I mean Mr.. Walker
but I'm delighted that he feels as he
does about my schooling she said.
Mr.. Walker and Miss Thomason had
been sweethearts for some time. Their
attachment Il was, however, frowned upon
by the father of the girl. who had
matured matrimonial aspirations OF his
own for his daughter.
Miss Thomason was excused from her
classes early in the afternoon upon some
petty pretext. She promised however.
that she would be at her desk again on
the following morning. Mr. Walker in

Items in Comparison.

''In this comparison said Mr.. Bensel.
sit is interesting to notice that, while
the total quantities of construction items
on the barge canal are equal to about
three-quarters of those on the Panama
canal. the barge canal, includin- ter
minals, is being built for little more than
one-third the cost of the Panama canal,
and Furthermore that 9.GJ1.UW people are
paying for New YOrks canal, while the
cost of the government canal is d1strib-
uted among 90M0,C1D people, including
the 100000 who are paying for all of
one canal and their proportlonate share
of the other.
For the fame of the barge canal it is
unfortunate, perhaps, that the two canals
are being built at the same time, Tor we
OF the barge canal think that our project
is entitled to rival or possibly outrank the
Panama canal in many respects fro m an
engineering standpoint. The comparison
in number of structures and in length OF
canal is significant

moving pictures which We're taken along

burg and other points. The lecture was
largely attended. among those present
being many government officials. In his
