D. C.. MERCHANTS ASKED
TO AID IN RECRUITING
Display Windows Needed for Posters
Which Should Be Allowed
to Remain.

In an appeal to the merchants of the
District of Columbia to use their win
dows for display posters advertising the
recruiting service of the United States
Army, Capt. n. ]. McKenney of the To-
cal army recruiting district brings home
the fact that the District of Columbia
is 1855 men short of it's quota for the
Regular Army and that there are va
cancies in nearly all the organizations
of the National Guard of the District.
Capt McKenney asks that the mer-
chants allow cards of the regular re-
cruiting service to be placed in their
show windows when requested to do so
by members of the recruiting service,
and that when cards are placed in the
show windows it is requested that the
merchants see that the cards remain in
the windows for one month or longer. if
possible.
Difficulty has been experienced in the
past by having cards removed from
show windows within aofew days after
they had been placed there. The re-
cruiting service of the United States
Army is one of the most expensive de-
partments of the government. A large
amount of money has been and is being
expended for advertising purposes.
When cards or posters are displayed for
time, large amount of government
money has been wasted.
1t is believed that when this matter
Is brought to the attention of the mer-
chants of the District that they will be
only too glad to assist by allowing
posters and cards to be placed in their
windows and allowing them to remain
there as long as their business will
permit

SCHOOL HEADS PUZZLED
OVER ATTENDANCE ROLLS
War Activities Expected Largely to
Increase Number of Pupils
This Year.

Washington school officials are in a
dilemma.
With the opening of the public
schools. September II. less than a
month distant, it is impossible for them
to foretell with any degree of accuracy
just how great an increase may be ex-
pected in the enrolment this year
While they probably will take a few
precautionary steps toward the han
ding of any size enrolment, they will
await definite Information as to the
number Of children to be enrolled this
year.
1t is certain. they say. that a con-
siderable increase will be noted. Year
ly the total enrolment increases, and
this year gives promise of being a most
unusual one: just how unusual is the
question which the school officials can
not answer today.
Washington's population has in
creased greatly since the beginning OF
the war. because of the increased ac-
tivities in the National Capital. But
the school officials have no way of de-
termining to just what extent the gen.
eral increase will affect the school
population.
Is the bulk of the capitals increase
composed of Individual workers or men
of family? How many boys and girls
have been brought here of school age:
How many more are likely to come dur
ing the next two or three months,
These are some of the questions which
the school officials are asking them.
selves, and some which must be an.
swered before the organization plans
of the school system can be completed

That the vaudeville entertainments

Miss Lillian Nichols and Miss Phelma
Smith contributed their full share to
the evenings entertainment. Arthur
B. Pierce. Messrs. Godfrey and Roland

FOR CUTTING UNFAIR PROFITS
Assistant Secretary Vrooman Favors
Local Buying Societies.

The way to cut fllegitimate war prof
it's in foodstuffs Is to organize local
buying associations or community CO.
operative stores. Assistant Secretary
Carl yrooman OF the Department of
Agriculture told a community meeting
held at the Emery School last night.
Thanks to the greed of business men
who should be ashamed to call them
selves American citizens" said Mr..
Vrooman. "our population from coast
to coast is being bled white of its
money and health by the food grafters
and profiters. The only way to meet
this situation is to meet 1t practically
by democratic common sense methods
of organizing and getting food from
the producer to the consumer without
any faint of illegitimate war profit in
between"
