USE THE SCHOOLS
Margaret Wilson Insists They Should
Be Aid to Community Work.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Dec. 14.-Use Of
the country's schools for all branches
Of community work was urged yester-
day by Miss Margaret Wilson, the
presidents daughter, before the an
nual convention here Of the American
Civic association. The school
principal she said, should not be
hampered by restriction to irksome
school duties, but should have a free
hand for work along broader lines.
Community workers from many
parts Of the country, talked of the
school house movement and the COM
munity drama and the convention
heard reports on work done by related
organizations.
DR.. Henry E. Jackson of the fed
eral bureau Of education, traced the
possibility of the community use of
schools and said:
eve are beginning to see that it is
morally wrong to invest the people s
money in school buildings and use
those buildings less than half the
time. We are only beginning to dis
cover that the school house ought to
be used for youths and adults as well
as children"
At last nights session, Col. w. w.
Harts, aide to the president and in
charge Of public buildings and parks
of the District Of Columbia, discussed
city planning in the capital.

EMERY IS
FOR CITY

Mayor Declares Commission
Long Has Considered Mu-
nicipal Possession
WHITE WAY. SYSTEM CITED
Entirely Controlled by City,
Though Arc Lights Are
Owned by Company

Il have always been in favor Of
municipal lighting" said Mayor H. F..
Emery this morning, and in fact our
white way system has all been in
stalled with the thought in view that
some day Fargo would at least light her
own streets.
The commission has often talked
this proposition over and had there
been finances the matter would have
been taken up soon after the commits
sion form went into effect. but at that
time the finances were not such that
the proposition could be seriously
taken up. With money for the work
there is no reason why the PROPOSE
ton of municipal lighting should not
be taken up seriously"
City Owns White Way System.
Mayor Emery stated that the city
owns all the white ways that have
been put in and has absolute control
Of them.
In the arc light system the
lights are owned by the lighting COM
pany, but it Is entirely different with
the white way system of lighting,
and we could take them over at any
time," said Mr.. Emery. "All that
would be necessary would be to notify
the lighting company to disconnect
from the system.
only system of lighting. It's perma-
nency is assured not only in Fargo, but
in other places as well, and when the
city lights it's streets from it's own
plant it will be possible to extend the
service to practically every part of
the city. Under the present system
the cost Of operation prohibits such
wide extension"
| Delays Committee Announcement.
l. Mayor Emery stated this morning
that he would not announce the COM
| mittee on investigation of municipal
| lighting, cooperation between light
| company and public toward lower
| rates, and other features, as provided
by the Stern resolution passed by the
commission yesterday, until the COM
mission meeting next Wednesday.
1t is probable that this committee
will be required to investigate steps
in Chicago, Minneapolis and other
cities in the way of co-operativH
negotiations that are now being

Mary Pickford in, Less Than The

One of the many scenes shows a

ever changing views of an eastern
thoroughfare. Another shows the
British garrison and still another, the
great stone temple and the pool of
the sacred waters while another effec-
tive picture is made Of storm in the
desert. The story is full of dramatic
force and Mary Pickford's part is a
blending of the delightful comedy,
winsomeness and innocence that give
her portrayals of the part such an ap-
pealing girlish charm. The big scenes
during the uprising of the natives and
their repulse by the troops are most
effectively worked out, while through
all Of the changing scenes there is a
great human love story.

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, May o.
Yesterday was polo day at Leilehua
and the garrison was treated to bril-
liant polo match between the 4th
Cavalry and LIST Field Artillery. A
large crowd responded TO the invita-
ton TO attend not only the polo game,
but tea dance which followed at the
mounted service mess. T.. "
Ii was an enthusiastic crowd which
lined the polo field during the game
and a merry crowd which afterward
enjoyed the hospitality of the polo
association at the new dancing paw
lion. Delicious refreshments were
served and the 1st Field Artillery
band furnished some lively dance
music.
The polo players in gay colored
shirts and white breaches, soiled by
hard riding, mingled with officers in
immaculate white uniforms and la.
dies in dainty summer gowns. Every.
one had a royal good time and voted
polo the greatest game in the world,
especially when followed by such an
en- joyable tea dansant. >.... =.
Cavalry is Victorious. ~. :.
The Yellow had little trouble de-
feating the Red. and at the end OF
the six hard-p played periods the score
was ~ to 1 in the cavalry's favor.
The 4th Cavalry team played the
same four PLAYERS throughout the
game, while the artillery team put
seven players in the contest, Lieut.
Hoyle, one OF the strongest players in
the LIST Field Artillery, was unable
to take part in the play on account
of recent operation, but refereed
the match.

the cavalry kept the wears OF the
scarlet continually on the defensive
