G. w. TO MAKE UP TIME
LOST DURING EPIDEMIC
Christmas Holidays to Be Shorten
ed and School Year Lengthened.

The board of trustees of George
Washington University will meet
this week to act upon a program
altering the university's calendar
so as to compensate for the time
lost by students during the In
fluenza epidemic, when the insti-
tuition was closed fori month.
The recent Thanksgiving holiday
was cut down to one day as the
first step in the progrom.\ The pro-
gram as outlined by the board of
trustees calls for the cutting down
of the Christmas holiday season to
five days, the elimination of the
Easter holidays, and the adding of a
week to the regular collegiate year.
University officials have not yet
fully arranged the program under
which members of the Students
Army Training Corps will be en-
abled to resume their regular COL
lege work at the earliest possible
date. This program probably will
be ready for announcement by the
end of the week.

LABOR purInn me war.

President Wilson did fine thing
when he made his direct appeal to la
Dor. His words helped to clear the air.
They showed how much could be ac-
complished by straightforward meth
DDS. And they were all the more ad-
mirable for emphasizing both what the
country owed labor and what labor
owed itself.
1t has been estimated that the work
Of five persons In shops, factories,
transportations and fields is needed to
sustain one man In the trenches.
Instead Of going down In human
value since the war, labor has gone up.
For this reason, quite apart from the
humanity involved, labor needs not less
scientific protection than 1t had before
the war, but more.-John D. Barry.

The city has Widcned A street

of them resulted fatally to anyone,

work out a plan whereby the in

scribe a double reversed curve, by
removing the offset and fixing
these corners so that they will not

To Safeguard Pavements.
Heretofore much of our splendid
pavement has been cut to accom-
modate water, sewer and gas CON
ucctions. Whenever it is cut, even
granting that it is replaced by a
patch Of the same material as the
remainder OF the street. it leaves
IAN unsightly scar. 1t is compara-
lively easy to install the latcrals
for these connections before the
paving is laid, and the 10 miles Of
pavement that will be done during
this year will be free from any
chance of scars or deterioration.
An ordinance is now in force
whereby the city places the laterals
md lead connections in the streets
and brings the connection up to
he property line and charges the
property owner only with the ac-
tual cost of its construction Judg-
ing by the past we can anticipate
to some extent the growth and
progress OF our city and protect
the property owners in the
amounts they pay for this paving.
The city is meeting them half way
and giving them these connections
"a matter of common justice.
With a water supply to accom-
modatc a city five times as large
as the present city, and looking
ahead to its rapid upbuilding,
those who come and make their
homes among us will not only re
ceiye a hearty welcome at the
hands of our people, but will have
the convenience of unlimited wa
ter and storm and sanitary sewers
sufficient to preserve the public
health.

When this city was laid out by

PATRIOTISM

There are times in our lives when
we have right to repeat the sayings
of our grandchildren. The following
was given as a four-minute talk by
Master William Eugene Scholfield of
Eldora, Iowa, aged nine years, and
we feel justly proud:
I'VE must buy Liberty Bonds to help
our soldiers. Liberty Bonds mean
money. Our soldiers need money. If
we did not send them money, they
would die Billions and billions of
our money is over there already.
Over three millions Of dollars was
sunk on the Lusitania. Our soldiers
in Russia, and on their way to Berlin
We shall drive the German submarines
out of the ocean, so it will be clear to
swim in. Then Uncle Sam will march
back home safely and we will drive
the Germans so far back in Germany
that there will not be another war for
a thousand years. What shall we do
to the Lusitania? We will raise it and
all the other ships. Then we will
help get France and the other coun-
tries built up again. Then we Will
blow up Germany until it is blown
up enough. Just think what the French
are doing now. Remember there was
a mother in Germany and the Kaiser
gave her q picture of him because
she had nine sons in the war. When
Lincoln was living, a woman had five
sons in the war and he offered to pay
her much year for the loss OF
her sons. Where would we rather
liye-in Germany or America?
