button or division of the 81, 10000, but
putting back $I,aoo,ooo which the peo-
pie of the District, after years OF wait
ing and working, succeeded in getting
Congress to provide.
If the proposed high school building
were too large for the needs of the
District or even the part of the Dis
trict it is intended specially to serve,
there might be reason in the conten-
tons of those who advocate expendi-
yture of the authorized $I,2oo,ooo upon
smaller buildings. But the proposed
building, with capacity of $500 pu-
pills, is not too large. The obsolete
Central High School building, which
the proposed school would replace,
now houses I,Ioo pupils. The white
high school population of the District
has increased by 1900 pupils from 1908
to 1913; the proposed school, when
completed at the end of two, or per-
haps three, years, would find awaiting
its Inauguration at least 1000 pupils
from its own immediate territory. And
this great modern building, it must be
remembered, is built to serve more
than one decade.
The needs of other parts of the
District are not properly made a fac
tor in the present consideration. 1t
is a recognized fact that the McKin-
ley, Eastern, Western, and Business
high schools are crowded, and that
the sections they serve need more ia
cilities. But to deny the people the
proposed central high school will not
supply the deficiencies of the Eastern
or the Western or the Business or
any other high school 1t will simply
deprive the people of school that
the people need.
1t will not help anybody; it will hurt
everybody. Though the advocates of
a division of the authorized appro-
priation do not know it, a successful
issue of their plans to undo what so
many jealous citizens and servants of
the District have toiled so long and
so faithfully to accomplish, would eff
feet the condition usually denoted by
the fable of the dog in the manger.
They might, indeed, prevent the con-
struction OF a schoolhouse which,
after a very extended consideration,
Congress decided the District needed
and must have. But they would get
nothing in its place.
We complain of Congress that it
seldom recognizes, more seldom sat
isfes, our needs. In the name of
sense, now that Congress has
seen one need and promised to satisfy
it, let us show that we know what we
want, that we asked for what we
want, and that, now we can get it, we
shall take II and Use II

THE OPEN FORUM
Abolition of Limit on Postal Saw
ing. Bank Deposits.

fnEs Bank Deposits.
To the Editor: Acting on the advice
Of the Postmaster General and Of the
House Postal Committee, the House Of
Representatives has passed and sent to
the Senate-a bill abolishing the existing
limit on deposits in our Postal Savings
Bank-now 500 a month-s5Oo in all-out
allowing no interest on deposits over
81 900.
We think that interest (only per
cent? should be allowed on deposits up
to any amount, but even with this re-
striction the bill is good one and IN
view of possible bank or trust company
failures during the coming Congress
sional recess, 1t certainly ought to be
passed at once.
Recommended both by the Postmaster
General and the House Postal Committee
and passed by the House after thought
full consideration, ten minutes would
seem ample time for action upon this
bill by the Senate, and yet we are In
formed that its consideration by the Sem
ate may be refused.
At the recent hearings on the postal
appropriation bill before the House
Postal Committee. Postmaster General
Burleson said: I'VE have turned away
from the postoffice hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars in cases where the per-
sons were anxious to deposit in the Pos
tai Savings without reference to the
question of interest at all 1 know of the
case OF enc man in Virginia town who
had $4,000 hich he was keeping in a
safe deposit vault. He had lost, in the
early part Of his business career. several
thousand dollars in bank, and he said
that he would not trust another one OF
them and he brought the $4,000 and
wanted 1t deposited in the Postal Savings
Bank OF course it could not be ac-
cepted."
Similar statements as to smaller. but
yet large amounts which had to be re-
fused, because OF this petty deposit
limit, are to be found in the extracts
from letters from seventy-five postmas-
tiers quoted in the printed hearings Of the
House Postal Committee.

Mona Lisa History.

To the Editor: Concerning the res
toration to France of the stolen Mona
Lisa, some papers make it appear that
this picture of Leonardo da Vinci was
one of the paintings brought to Paris
by Bonaparte after his conquest Of
Italy. In the Nouvean Larousse the
article "Joconde dad" says that 1t had
been purchased in 1900 (nearly 900
years before) by Francois /, King OF
France, great admirer and protector
OF the artist, for 1900 livres, which
was for the times a princely price. An
other thing to keep in mind: All the
paintings and sculptures, SC, carried
to Paris during the Napoleonic epoch
were restored to their rightful owners
after the fall of Napoleon. in ISIS.

Ril,iou Brick. for Gotham in Year

Billion Bricks for Gotham i'm Year.
New York. Dec. 1L-In the buildings
erected in Gotham last year 1,ol9.25O,OOO
bricks were used. This is an increase OF
SO. .1S7, 800 bricks over the number re-
quired for building operations during the
previous year. The increased consump-
ton of bricks is as good an indication as
may be had of the steady return OF
activity to the building trades, which
have not been any too busy since the

Let Us See Who Is Fair.

Eight of the twenty-one members
of the House Committee on the DIS
trict of Columbia voted yesterday to
report favorably the bill introduced
by Representative Crisp, of Georgia

1878 which divides the cost Of

equally between the entire popula'
tion of the United States and the
peoule of the District Of Columbia
Three other members of the com.
nittee, constituting a quorum. were
present at this hastily called spe'
ciaI meeting, but these three mem
bers, all Republicans, refrained

they had not found time or oppor-
unity for sufficient study of meas
