ASSOCIATION SEEKS
new SCHOOLHOUSE
Columbia Heights Citizens Petition
for Sixteen-Room Building.

A petition urging Congress to con-
struct new sixteen-room grade
school building near Spring road
northwest, containing 75s signatures
of residents of the section affected.
was indorsed by the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association at its regular
monthly meeting last night in the
Powell School.
The petition recites that a new
school in the section described would
relieve the already heavily congested
schools in the outskirts of this ter
ritory and the plan has been ap-
proved by the District officials.
A resolution introduced by Secre-
tary ]. Clinton Hiatt was adopted
favoring the increase OF salaries of
government employees, and indorsing
the Keating bill now pending in the
House having that object in view.
Action on a report submitted by
Walter I. Swanton, chairman of the
special committee of five appointed
by the association relative to gov
ernment ownership of street rail-
ways and power plants in the Dis
trict was postponed until the Feb
ruary meeting. in order to give fur
ther time for consideration.
1t was pointed out in this report
that the facilities of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company
are grossly inadequate; that the serv-
ice is irregular and insufficient, and
that there is frequent complaint by
the public and the citizens associa-
tions in the territory of this COM
pany concerning these conditions.

HOROSCOPE
Thursday, January q. 1918.

Astrology finds this an unimportant
day in the direction of the stars.
Neptune, however, has evil power.
1t is read as an unlucky day to
begin an ocean trip and those who
start a journey should be exceed
ingly cautious.
There is an influence said to be
helpful to those who seek to deceive,
and the signs are not good for the
making of new friends.
Stormy weather and conditions of
extraordinary danger seem to be
presaged for those who are exposed
in outdoor activities.
The sign read as foreshadowing
contagious and infectious diseases is
strongly indicative of epidemics that
will spread to cities from outside
communities.
Scandals in hospitals are prognos-
ticated. These will develop toward
the end of the winter.
As has been foretold, money mat
ters connected with charitable en-
terprises will come under a sway
making for exposure and reform.
The death of a crowned head Is
prophesied This will take place
within a few weeks, astrologers de-
clare.
Libel and slander cases in which
high public officials are involved will
occupy public attention before long.
Jealousy and envy will be foment-
ed in the army during the three
coming months. and warning is given
against the danger of voicing criti-
cism, since sensations will be numer-
Gus.
The approach Of the Sun to the
place Of the planet Mars in the ma
tivity of the King of England is sin
lister and revolutionary forces are
likely to disturb Great Britain.
As President Wilson's Jupiter is
near the ascendant in King Georges
nativity, however. there is promise
Of important gains through co-opera-
ton.
Persons whose birthdate It is may
have rather a quiet year, which will
be on the whole successful.
Children born on this day are likely
to be very clever and intelligent.
These subjects of Capricorn. are usu-
sually successful in agriculture or
mines.

BOSS OF JANITORS
URGES COAL Saving
Requests Short Rations for School
Buildings to Aid Administration.

Hugh F. Mcoueenie. superintendent
of engineers and janitors of the
Washington schools, has issued orders
in compliance with request from tho
local fuel administration. that the
schools use as short rations Of the
black diamonds" as possible for their
daily furnace feed.
Data as TO the exact amount of
coal used daily in the schools. is not
at hand with officials. but some idea
of the coal used in heating the
schools, is found in a letter from the
principal Of Central High School.
Furnaces at Central High School
eat up more than three-quarters of a
ton OF coal each hour. during day
sessions. according to Principal Will
son. Another quarter of a ton is
used by night classes for light and
heat.
During the day one-half a ton Of
the hourly rations goes for heat, and
one-quarter Of ton is used to gtN-
crate electricity for the lighting and
electrical facilities.
Central High School is the largest
school building in the District, The
great area to be coverd by the hot
air for heating purposes is the cause

sary.
