Never again will I attempt to steal

This was the vow breathed Thursday
by Market Master Noyes, who is in
charge Of the municipal sea food market

His declaration came after a ticklish
situation to extricate himself from,

The Present Day

We know not what day may
bring: the futures veiled from
all: tomorrow we may dance and
sing, or stand around and bawl.
The dawning of another day may
bring us sweet relief, or it may
fetch along our way a wagonload
OF grief. I'm glad our vision can
not pierce that veil DER joy and
dread: the life we live would be
too fierce if we could see ahead.
Today is ours. this cheerful day
the gods have placed on file; so let
lis gambol while we may, and
wear bearning smile. We travel
on a sunlit plain between two
chasms vast: to fear the future is
as vain as to regret the past. To
day is ours. and it's day Of
which we should be proud; enjoy
1t ere it slides away to join the
phantom crowd. 1t was tornor-
row ere it came, it's yesterday
when gone; but while it plays its
feeting game, it's ours, so help me
John! So let us make this day so
slick that in the time to come,
when we are old and tired and
sick, by years knocked out OF
plumb. we'll sigh. That was a
golden day. the best day known
to men. and all our ills would
troop away if it could come

contract with the Penn Bridge
Company of Beaver Falls, Pa, for
substituting through-span for a

claiming of the river and flats of the

that vicinity is the construction Of a
massive earthen dam across the river
on the line of Massachusetts avenue
extended. Seawalls are to be built on
both sides of the river at that point
as well as down the river as far as the
Anacostia or 11th street bridge To get
the working plant to the desired base
of operations 1t will be necessary also
to alter the Pennsylvania railroad
bridge where it crosses the channel.
The contract for altering the Pennsyl-
vania Avenue bridge provides that
there shall be no more interruption
with ordinary travel over the bridge
than Is absolutely essential to the exc
cution of the work.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING
IS URGED BY SPEAKERS
Increase of Facilities in Graded
Schools Advocated at Welfare
Association Meeting.

More vocational training in the grad

was advocated by Allan Davis, prin-
clpal of the Business High School, and
Miss Anne Beers. supervising principal
of the eighth division. at a meeting OF
the Child Welfare Association of Ana
costa, held last night in Masonic Hall
14th and L streets southeast
Mr.. Davis talked at length of the
value of the vocational training and
cited cases where it was in practice in
several western cities to great advan-
tagea He also said that the success of
the public schools in Germany could be
attributed TO the teaching of the trades
in the graded schools. He took as his
subject ''The Boy in the school," and
said the reason there were not more
boys attending schools today in the
District was the absence of man teach
ers. He expressed the hope that in the
near future more man teachers would
be in the school work, and said that
the success of the Boy Scout move
ment was due to the leadership of the
boys by men.
Step Toward Vocational Training.
Miss Beers spoke particularly of the
work being done at the SmalIwood
