Washington S Birthday.

Washington's birthday was allowed to pass
by without distinctive celebration in the Rich
mond schools yesterday. Attention was called to
the significance of the day, but there was no eff
fort to impress upon the future citizens and
voters of this republic the important facts con-
nected with Washington's life and the signifi-
canoe of his work.
In day when patriotism needs to be aroused
and kindled afresh, the school authorities ought
not let an opportunity pass by without impress
ing upon the pupils the important lessons of true
Americanism
Statesmen and thinkers of our nation are
sounding the alarm call. They see danger ahead.
The United States may be called on in the near
future to defend with it's army and navy the re-
publican form of government against foreign ag-
gression.
Washington did not believe that the United
States would be free from attacks. He urged the
young republic to keep alive the patriotism that
brought victory in the of revolution.
No opportunity ought be overlooked in our
schools to drive home love for the flag, love for
our history, admiration for our great men, and
above all willingness to endure privation and
hardship for the preservation of American ideals
and institutions.

The Newest Discovery in Chemistry.

This is recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buff
falo, N. Y. Experiments at DR.. Pierce's
hospita! for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric
acid that can be compared to it. For
those easily recognized symptoms Of
inflammation-as backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or if uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-
tism, it is simply wonderful how sure
ly "Anuric" acts. The best Of results
are always obtained in cases of acute
rheumatism In the joints, in gravel
and govt, and invariably the pains and
stiffness which SO frequently and per-
lsistently accompany the disease rap
idly disappear.

Foreign Trade Increases.

The sale of enormous quantities of foodstuffs
and manufactured products to Brazil and Argen-
tina, as well as increased trade with other South
American countries, has largely counter balanced
the loss of trade to the Central Powers.
Argentina doubled her purchases in the
United States in the year 1915 She spent with
American firms $52,OOOOOO as compared with
$27,OOO,OO0, the preceding year. Brazil in
creased her purchases from $23,OOO,OO0 to 1884,
100000. Chile bought $17,OOO,OOO worth,
an increase of $4,OO0,OOO. Proportionate
advances in the years exports to other
countries were announced by Secretary Redfield,
making public completed customs returns. Total
exports to the whole of South America amounted
to 322OOO,OO0 as against, 100000 the pre-
ceding year.

MOSQUITO, Beware!

DR.. Hugh Smith, director of the bureau of
fisheries, has announced that within short time
fish that will devour mosquitoes just like angle
worms will be developed by the bureau. Thous-
ands of these new fish will be placed in waters
unsuited for the propagation Of food fish. The
bureau hopes that these mosquito-eating fish will
do away with one form of summer nuisance and
give relief to campers along many lakes and
streams.

MANY STUDENTS
PREPARE EARLY
FOR COLLEGES
By McManus

why did you elect this course"
one of the questions asked students of
the high school and Garfield industrial,
domestic science art and commercial
courses as part of the industrial survey
being conducted in Richmond by Dr.
K. j. Leonard, brings out the fact that
a certain percentage of students took
particular course for college; another
quota because they liked the work.
still others because they wanted to get
credits, and still another percentage
because the course was easy.
Blanks containing list of questions
as to reasons for course selection have
been filled out by every student of the
high school and Garfield junior high
school. The purpose is to determine
fundamental reasons why students
choose a certain course.
Information gained from the cards
shows what percentage of Garfield
students contemplate entering the high
school and what percentage of high
school students plan to enter college
Although no formal count has been
made of the some thousand of blanks
listed, an estimate shows that perhaps
25 per cent or more of the students
Of Garfield plan to enter high school.
Perhaps Is per cent of high school
graduates have signified their inten-
ton of taking college work.

CITIZEN.
POSTS DEPOSIT
ON STREET OIL

About month ago the board of
public works fixed April II, seven
days hence, as the final date for the
receiving of petitions for street oiling
by the street department, each petition
to be accompanied by a cash deposit
sufficient to cover the expense of oil
ing for the purpose of protecting the
city from being beaten out" of the
cost of the Improvement, as it has
been so often in years passed.
Today the first citizen who agreed
to make a cash deposit for street oil
ing appeared before the board, John
W. Thompson, IL North Twelfth street.
At first Thompson refused to make
a cash advance payment for the oiling,
North Twelfth street, between Main
and North A streets, stating that he
and other property owners did not
want to pay until satisfied that the
work was satisfactory. 1t was finally
agreed that a check covering the eX'
pense of the improvement be placed
in the bank, to be paid over to the city
whenever the property owners were
satisfied that the oiling had been done
satisfactorily.
Last year the city lost $s1 by people
promising to pay for street oiling and
then failing to make good their
promise. The year before about $500
has ruled cash down" before street
oiling is provided. 1t will also stand
pat on it's decision to oil no streets
this summer which have not been
petitioned for on or before April II.

. City Engineer Fred Charles today
called attention to the fact that
through annexation of several Rich
mond suburbs, actually a part of the
city, but outside the corporation lines,
the population of the city would I'M
doubtedly be more than 10000 or 5000
more than it's present population.
Three suburbs which have been in
creasing in size at a rapid rate in
recent years and which are now well
built up are Earlham Heights, west
. Of West Eleventh street and extending
to Easthaven avenue; Kirkmanville,
west of Easthaven avenue, and Benton
Heights, situated just outside the Fair
view corporation line.
The south corporation line runs
along South l. street but the popular
Beallview addition has been plated as
far south as South @ street. This ad-
dition is beginning to build up at a
very satisfactory rate.

Greenwood, to the east of the, Beall-

which has enjoyed very brisk boom

corporation limits. has been for some
time quite populous district.
The board of public works is serious
~ considering advising council to
annex in the near future territory
bordering the southwest city limits,
west of the river. This procedure has
been contemplated because of the de.
cision of the c. unity commissioners to
construct bridge across the river at

sidered for annexation would extend
south of Southwest f street about a
half mile. from. the river to the Alb

MUST APPOINT
JOHN MUELLER
IN new ORDER

County commissioners have been in
formed by County Attorney Hoelscher
that since a new order will have to be
made locating the south end bridge as
soon as the board of works opens
South G street, the order will also
have to include the reappointment of
John W. Mueller as special bridge en-
gineer. The appointment was made
in the preliminary order which de,
clared County Surveyor Peacock in
competent to handle the bridge work
The new ord y will make it necessary
to declare Peacock incompetent and
allow him thirty days from the time
of the new order in which to take an
appeal to the circuit court.
The county surveyor said today that
he had not decided whether to take an
appeal. Mueller. however. is going
ahead with the bridge plans and will
present the preliminary estimates and
sketches as soon as the new order is
drawn up following definite action by
the board of works. The original ord
er was made three weeks but since il
has been declared illegal for all in
tents and purposes, the surveyor will
have at least six more weeks to take
action in the matter.
