war prices have SCARED to such an
extent that II will cost 100000 more
to construct the school buildings
recommended in tho District budget
now before Congress than at the time
tho estimates were framed, last Sep
tember.
II the school budget were being pre-
pared today It would be placed at
$4,000, 900 for buildings and land in
stead Of s1,sco.ooo, tho estimate SUBJ
mitted.
School buildings already appropriated
for cannot be built except at an ad-
ditional cost Of approximately half a
the advance in cost of labor and ma
terials since the appropriations were
made.
This briefly sums up tho school stu
alton, both with respect to buildings
that Congress has authorized. but
which cannot be constructed within
the amounts available, and buildings
that are needed, but which cannot be
built within the amounts as now stated
In the estimates. + In short. a million
and a half dollars more must be pro-
vided for the construction of buildings
already authorized and those which
Congress is requested to authorize at
the present session.

detail BY the Commissioners to the
House appropriations subcommittee in
charge of the District budget. The
Commissioners and the board OF edu-
cation will go before the committee
in an effort to work out some solution
Of the problem. As far as the District
heads are concerned. they have no
definite recommendations to make, but
will state the case to the committee
and try to work out jointly with the
committee and the board Of education
representatives a satisfactory solution.
Recently the Commissioners suggest
ed to the board Of education that port
able buildings be erected as tenn
porary remedy for the situation, and
that construction of permanent build
ing be delayed until q return to normal
prices. This plan. It is understood, Is
not favored by the school board.
Garbage Question Up.
There Is one other problem facing
the Commissioners that they are going
before the House committee with an
open mind about. 1t is the question Of
how to dispose of city garbage after

Washington Fertilizer Company ex-
pires. This company has forfeited
5000 rather than continue with a new

Paris has the happy faculty Of put

hotel costs from Is francs upward. The

In the private homes the pinch Of the
fourth winter of war is felt keenly.
Perhaps the shortage Of fuel causes
more distress than does the lack of
food. Though the price of coal is
lower than 1t was year ago. it has
not helped the situation. because there
IL not sufficient to meet requirements.
4 great amount of wood is being
brought to Paris. but during the severe
weather the freezing of the canals has
interfered greatly with the whole
transportation problem. The price of
coal In Paris is about three times
much as It Is in London. This is con-
sidered an exceptionally severe winter.

Frances disposal is increased there

;, More Than the Cold.
Fke-Franc Dinner Leaves
Much to Be Desired by Men
+ with Army Appetite.
BY ARTHUR 8. DRAPER

PARIS, February 6.-The fourth winter
Of the war has nipped Paris hard, but
though the whole city is shivering in the
clutch Of frigid weather there is plenty
Of warmth in the French reception OF the
American soldier. The chairs In front
Of the boulevard cafes are still there;
the blue siphons remain on the tables. but
America has not yet sent over any Eski-
mos. and SO Paris is entertaining indoors
these days. The cold has a bite as sharp
as a French bayonet and a power OF
penetration equaling that of an II. L.
shell. But still Paris has a smile for
avery American soldier.
Paris prices, whew. They bite into
the comparatively generous American
allowance even more than the cold A
franc in Paris doesn't begin to go as
far as a shilling in London A fiye-franc
dinner leaves a whole lot to be desired
by the soldier with an army appetite and
q win rouge thirst. Paris is changing,
and lot OF American soldiers whose ac-
.Quaintance with the franc is extremely
brief, are being shortchanged by garcons,
who come from Switzerland and other
neutral zones. The soldier Is rapidly
learning restaurant French and is proving
An able teacher Of American slang to the
boulevard ladies'. II the war lasts another

Poor Hard Hit, But Optimistic.

Among the poor classes their inabil-
fly to obtain the green vegetables for
use in salads and the shortage of fish
have caused considerable distress. But
the amazing part of it all is that Paris
preserves an extremely optimistic at
mosphere. and there is hardly sign of
the London brand Of gloom about. Per-
haps this buoyant spirit covers a de-
no easy job to dig deep through the
crust OF Paris and learn what Is be-
meath.
Apparently there are more private
motors in Paris than In London. Ger
tainly It is easier to get a Paris taxi to
run out to the suburbs than II is to con-
vince a London driver it is worth his
while to learn his city beat. One gets
the impression that Paris is bound to
be Paris whatever happens. and that
on Paris life will have a hard time of
It Again. this may be wrong deduc-
fion. based on superficial evidence, but
certainly Parisians are living a whole
lot more life than are Londoners.
There Is a feeling of expectancy in
Paris. No one exactly knows what is
going to happen. but every one antici-
pates change in the coming months.
the next month or two will bring a big
military operation somewhere on the
western front, Paris does not worry
about the result: The interest here is
conferred on 1tS enect on the war as a
whole and the bearing it will have on
the question of peace. La guerre' has
become an old story: the novelty of the
American invasion has begun to wear
on: the fear of a German break through
causes no loss Of sleep.

Gloom Has Not Reached Paris.

London is gloomy. The darkening OF

slant menace of air raids, the frequent

London q dour. dull and dark appear
ance. In Paris the streets are much

war has failed thus far to crush Paris
optimism. To the British the frivolitS,
the apparent lack of seriousness must
be annoying. To the French the pes. .
simism, the continual grousing of the
British must be irritating. Neither
the Londoner nor the Partisan can be
Judged by what he says and how he

the three: he is supposed to be the
Grandest buffer of the lot. bat he is
really incapable of grousing for the
pure JOY OF finding fault or Of smiling
