Fog Rapidly Clearing.

ocean liners being held up outside
their harbors by fog. An apt les
son NAV be drawn from the incl
dent Both commerce and indus
try have been so misted DER with
the intricacies of politics and state
craft during the last year that they
both have hove to, awaiting clearer
weather. At the same time the
spirit of hopcfulness that the thick
weather will soon be blown away
by a steady gale of prosperity Is
nowhere lacking.
Perhaps nowhere in the Union
ought this spirit of hopefulness to
prevail stronger than in the Cap
i+al. The complete change II the
administration of the government
had here an individual and per-
sonal effect that it had not else
where. Prominent and useful clu-
zens of the District, with commu-
nltv interests from which it seemed
thev could not be separated with
ont disaster to themselves and their
neighbors. have been removed by
the change in political control. The
Capital has been the loser: 1t has
suffered a loss to be made up only
when the successors of our removed
friends have attained the same de-
grees of individual and community
usefulness.
At the same time. the people of
the Capital must foster this spirit
of hopefulness. Aside from the per-
sonal and individual effects of the
change in administration, the local
affairs of the Capital have not SUI
fered. The new administration has
shown an interest of a kind in the
business of Washington that has,
hitherto been lacking. 1t is the in
terest of real concern over the sue
cess Of the municipality. Every
night. nearly, we hear of a citl-
zens' association which speaks its
gratitude to the Commissioners for
their intimate desire to help out
not one, bat every section of the
District.
In the meantime there is much
hard-time talk. Real estate is de-
clared to be dead: money is assert
ed to be tight: accommodations"
are described as meager. But not
a thing is being gained-and it is
cnnobIing to record that nothing
is being lost-bv the .hard-time
talk. Washington is growing right
along. Statistics are pushed aside
as to the housing of the population
being already accomplished and
new homes are being built. The
iron bones of office structures are
thrusting themselves gauntly, but
sturdily into the middle air. Streets
are being newly paved. New rails
are being lad in and ont of the
city. Our loca! securities are jauut-
iIv holding their proper places
among the biggest and best offer
ings on this or any other stock
market. Uncle Sans pay roll, as
big and broad as his own Reunited
Union smile, is met every month
and week and day and hour.
There's no hard time here in
Washington. Talking hard times
does not count. Our merchants are
getting the trade. They are taking
care of the business within the ten
miles square. and they are steadily
acquiring trade that used to belong
10 some of our neighbor cities.
Remember fog is no thicker
than a mans vision. If there is
9 fog about your business now, re-
member it is only something that
dims your vision, not dulls your
sense. There will be sunlight be-
fore you have more than got a good
nights sleep.

4 fine example Of French energy is
found in the two tunnels which have
been cut through the Pyrenees. They
are of immediate value because one of
them affords travellers a change from the
long and circuitoUs route around the
Pyrenees in going from France to Spain.
as the tunnel created practically a
straight road from Toulouse to BARGE
Iona. Both tunnels are opening Spanish
markets more directly to French manu-
facturers. They will benefit Spain COM
mercially and politically On the Span
ish side of the Pyrenees dwell the
Basques in the northwest, and the Cat
alans. in the southeast. The BasQues
are Carlists and the Galatians Republi-
cans. Both are opposed to the present
monarchy. Law and order in Spain
have long suffered because of them. In
order to avoid the mountains the only
railway lines from France to Spain have
had to pass around them and through
districts inhabited by these people Now.
however, by the tunnel through the
mountains, Spain will have connection
with France land Europe) through loyal
provinces.
The ultimate value of the tunnels to
France is also to be considered. There
now is almost an airline route from
Paris to the Spanish port of Cartagena,
which city is only a hundred English
miles from the French port OF Oran, on
the Algerian coast. And Oran is about
to become the Mediterranean terminus
of the railway which is to connect Al
geria with Morocco. and also the cities
on the Moroccan Atlantic coast with
those of the interior and those Of the
Mediterranean.
And beyond Algeria and Morocco lies
the rest of the French empire in Africa.
BY the Pyrenean tunnels that part of
Africa is brought measurabIy nearer to
the home territory. FLANEUR-

HIGH GLASS PASSES
 SIX HUNDRED MARK
Enroilment Shows Increase of Thirty
 Per Cent Over Last Year.

The official enrolment of the Phoe- nix Union High school has passed the 600 mark this year At the open ing Of the school, it was the hopes Of the superintendent that there would be this number enrolled be- fore this. the end of the initial period. In all there are 6O5 students on the roll of the school. All of these are bona fide students and all are regular attendants at the classes of the school daily with the excep-' tiOn of the women in the domestic science department,-some twenty who are taking the courses in cook ing.
 At the same time last year, there were some 430 students enrolled in all classes, making an increase for the year of about 30 per cent. This increase corresponds with that of the grade schools in the city. In the city departments there was an increase for the same period of about 29 per cent.
 The high school catalogue for 1913-14 issued by the institution yes terday. is a most suspicious publi- cation It is an historical, well as educational issue, dealing pictor- ally with the history, and outlining the. courses, regular and special of the school. It sets the aim of the school as "to provide an education for all classes of people, by means of study work and play that is use full and usable Adapted to the needs of each individual and to the needs of the generalation in which he lives, and preparing for citizenship, busi- ness and personal culture" The catalogue gives a comprehensive idea of the school and it's equipment and policies, and is a most excellent key to Phoenix educational advantages.
