Old Central to Be Used
For High School Overflow

1t is certain. school officials say. that
the high schools will be overcrowded.
To accommodate this overflow, the old
Central High School will be utilized.
Last year pupils from Business were
forced to use the Harrisan School as an
overflow building. Advance figures
from Mckinley Manual Training School
Indicate the use OF the old Central.
Several new courses will be inaugu-
rated In the high schools, officials say.
The new Central. formerly an academic
school. will now have business and
manual training courses. while the other
high schools will add new subjects to
the curriculum.
Mckinley probably will have a course
in short story writing. and Business
will include a course in practical sales
manship. II the ideas of the Retail
Merchants Association are carried out.
Another feature that will be attrac-
tive to many high school girls is the
scholarship offered hy Miss Charlotte
Louise Hogan. teacher of interpretive
and modern dancing.
The scholarship Is given TO the girl
who shows the most adaptability to por-
tray the rhythmic dances. Examina-
lions for a scholarship I'm singing. plano,
and dramatic art will be held at Miss

CALL DOG LICENSES
INDEX TOPROSPER|TY
District Authorities Assert, Be-
cause Of This, Times Have
Been Bad Of Late. 4

A new index figure of prosperity or
bad times has been found.
1t Is dog taxes according to GER
tain District authorities, who held
that the financial condition Of the
inhabitants OF the District can be told
by the number of dog licenses Issued
during the year.
The reason. they say. is that a per-
son will not pay 81 for a license
when times are bad. Rather, they
Will let the dog go unlicensed, and
take chance on the dog catcher
getting It,
According to this line Of argument
the year ending today has been less
prosperous than the year succeeding,
which, In turn, was less of n success
than the one before. In 1915, only
5.741 licenses were issued, as COM
pared with 7,478 the year before.
The dog-tax books for the year pre-
ceding 1913 have been destroyed, but
according to officials OF the tax-collec-
tors office. a great many more were
issued in 1914 than in 1916
Another theory IL held, however. by
certain authorities. They claim that
the decrease is not due TO a lessened
prosperity at all. but merely 10 the
fact that dogs are becoming less and
less popular in the cities.
They point to the greater difficulty
OF giving them sufficient exercise the
cost OF feeding and providing for them,
and say that undoubtedly this is the
reason for the falling off in the num-
Der OF licenses.

Bigger Demand in u: S.
For Skilled Workmen

The increased business OF the coun-
try Is demanding a larger number of
skilled workmen, according to w. c..
Poteet. principal of the Washington
Business and Civil Service School.
Basing this statement on the fact
that his school had Ave times the num-
Der OF calls for trained office help last
year he was able to furnish, Mr.. Poteet
continues by saying that this condi-
ton I'm business always means In
creased advantages for those who enter
the civil service.
when business conditions are good, 4"
says Mr.. Poteet, people do not desire
to give up their lucrative positions to
enter the Government service, which
does not usually pay more than y75 a
month at the start.
THE chance for appointment among
those who do wish to take up Cover
ment employment In vastly increased.
Young men and women who have no
independent income can do no better
than take up Government employment
as stepping stone for something
better"
The Washington Business and Civil
Service School opens tomorrow with a
large enrolment. The courses offered
include business classes which prepare
the student for the civil service ex-
aminations or business for themselves.

Weekly Payment Plan
Adopted by Woods School

BY the adoption OF a new system OF
tuition payments. students OF the
Woods Commercial School will be
allowed to pay their tuition in weekly
amounts, the payments being due at
the end OF each week.
Those who are nat satisfied b. the
courses of instruction they receive
will not be compelled to pay.
Miss yarina Coe.. said to be among
the best of typewriting Instructors In
the city, has been placed In the
faculty. and will have charge OF this
branch of the work.
This school was founded In 1885,
and since that time has graduated
many successful business men. Among
the graduates now in Washington Is
a bank president, many bank officials.
and an hotel manager.
From present Indications the num-
Der OF students this year will be 75
per cent larger than last year. On
account OF the reduction in price OF
stereotype machines, n large number
OF pupils have applied for enrolment
In the course OF stereotype.

The Melancholy Days Have
Come-For Small Boy and
Small Girl.
NO CONSOLATION FOR THEM
Even Fact That Vacation Was
Two Weeks Longer Than
Usual Fails to SoIace.

Tomorrow is the melancholy day OF
days for the small boy-nnd the small
girl.
Tomorrow is the day that has no
consolation. Washington may finish
in the second division of the American
League, but there IL another year
coming. The open-air movies" that
the small boy could see from his back
fence may close. hut there are other
motion picture shows.
But the fact that tomorrow 10 the
day on which school opens has no
bright spots. It il undeniably true No
more epidemics of anything that could
postpone the opening OF school seem to
be imminent.
assorted ages must report to their re-
spective school buildings at Q o'clock
tomorrow.
The vacation that ends tomorrow has
been longer than most of the summer
holidays. This was due to the pro-
vision of the Board Of Education,
which postponed the opening of school
for two weeks to safeguard the children
against the dreaded infantile paralJ sis.
A Rare Pleasure.
During these two weeks, the small
hoy-and the small girl-haye had the
unusual pleasure of seeing teacher"
report to school every day Just as
though schoo! were open. The teachers
have been preparing themselves for the
session that starts today and con-
tinues for nine months.
These meetings, school officials be-
1ieve. will readily compensate for the
time lost by the postponed opening OF
school.
Certainly, they say. the teacher has
new ideas, Cleaned from these meetings,
that will be of much value to her ana

The Price of Bread.

Washington's bakers are pursuing the
wise course in holding to the fve-cent
bread rate. notwithstanding the tenden-
ey in the national organization of
bakers, recently in session at Salt Lake
City. to increase the price of the loaf TO
10 cents. This is an old question that
is often raised. whenever, in fact. the
price of wheat advances and the retail
price of -four is increased. 1t is per-
fectly well understood by the public that
even material increase in the wheat
rate does not justify the addition Of an
other cent TO the price of the loaf, owing
to the fact that -four is only one OF the
ingredients of bread. 1t may be that
owing to the increase in wheat cost and
a rise in the cost of other materials and
the cost of labor the point comes when
the bakers are justified in raising the
price. Fortunately, the Washington
bakers act conservatively in this mat
ter and give their consumers the benefit
of any doubt that may exist regarding
the justice of an advance.
Evening star., 1916-08-13
The Gas Rate Amendment.

Senator Gallinger's protest against the
adoption by the Senate of 75-cent gas
rate provision is justified. The public
utilities commission has been established
for just the purpose of ascertaining the
correct rates to be adopted and is now
in the process of physical valuation
of the properties of this and other util-
tiles corporations in order to ascertain
the equitable rate to be charged. The
Senate has taken the matter out of the
hands of the commission, without any
investigation or hearing and yet without
any suggestion of impeachment of the
commissions processes. 1t would be de-
structive of the commissions value thus
to legislate specifically in particular
cases as long as the power of rate ad-
justment has been left to that body.
If the Senate or the House feels that
the utilities commission has not properly
discharged its duties it should adopt
amendatory legislation respecting the
powers and functions of that body. But
to act piecemeal on matters which have
been by statute referred to the commits
sion is injurious to its prestige and
confusing to its method. The rate of IS
cents for gas may be just one. But
nobody has proved it by actuarial in
quiry, and until it is proved it is unfair
to the corporation. Washington wants
the cheapest possible gas, but it does
not want it at the expense of deprival
of the owners of the gas plant of the
right to reasonable profit on their
investment. If the public utilities com
mission finds on investigation that IS
cents will yield such profit, then by
all means that should be made the rate.

the Senate he pa. everything at home

the Senate he put everything at home
to hazard.
Roger Sullivan is in line, and while
not a candidate this year expects to be
soon. He has his eye on Mr.. Lewis seat
in the Senate; and the measure Of his
success for Mr.. Wilson in this campaign
will be the measure of his success for
himself when the time comes. He has
everything at stake. If the republicans
carry Illinois by large majority in
November his prospects of reaching the
Senate will fade entirely away.
Mr.. Murphy is in line-after fashion.
He supported Mr.. Wilson for renomina-
ton, has Endorsed the administration
and all that, and is talking victory in
November. There is feeling in admin
istration circles, however, that he might
strain point and become little more
enthusiastic. And he may do that.
Doubtless if he could be assured that
under a second Wilson administration
Tammany would fare better than it has
under the first, he would brace up and
have more style about him. And he may
get that assurance.
The bosses are all accounted for. Hunt
ing them for purposes of determination
has for the present been suspended.
