Efforts Of the census bureau were
directed in large part to compila-
ton Of war statistics in the fiscal

LEGISLATION BENEFICIAL
TQCH|LDREN DISCUSSED
Monday Evening Club Told Re
forms Should Be BASED on APP
peals to Good Gitisenship.

Asserting that we can't appeal to
sympathy alone and expect to do con-
structive work." DR.. Jessica B. Peix-
otto, chief of the child conservation
section, Council of National Defense.
urged last evening before the Monday
Evening Club that child labor laws and
similar reforms be~based on appeals
to good citizenship. '.
In discussing the recreation drive
feature of 'Children's Year DR.. Peix-
otto asserted that few persons realize
yet that "just as we need to be trained
! for work, SO we need the experience OF
the ages in achieving wholesome re-
Taxation"
In the District of Columbia, as else
where, the speaker asserted, an ade-
auate compulsory school attendance
law would solve the child labor prob
lem.
Later Walter S. Ufford urged that
members lend their support to the
Heating child labor bill for the Dis
trict, framed largely by the late pr.
A. ]. McKelway.
Bemoans Loss Of Ideals.
Mrs. Margarita Spalding Gerry, act
ing president of the board of education,
said that, necessary as are'more school
houses, better paid teachers and mod
ern equipment, especially in the Dis
trict. the basis of educational difficulties
today lies in the loss of ideals Of educa-
ton such as the pioneers of New Eng
land possessed.
1.-THE plain fact isl Mrs. Gerry stated.
| that children do not want to learn
today. and in many cases their par
! ents do not seem to wish to make
them"
Miss Ann Davis of the children's bu-
reav described the ''hack to school,
movement. In the absence of Mrs
Louis Browlow, who arranged the pro-
gram, but was unable to preside on
account of illness, Justice Frederick
L. Siddons of the District Supreme
Court was called to the chair by ].
Wilmer Latimer. president of the club.
TN many phases of our social re-
form work now must be done over
again." said Judge Siddons. I'VE must
exercise the greatest care lest the high
stimulus of the war. now let down,
does not leave US lukewarm to the
causes we held dear before the war"

STUDENT DROP Of ZOO
AT HOWARD LAST YEAR
War Affects Registration in ALI
Departments Except One, Presi-
dents Report Shows.

Thu war affected registrations in
all academic or postgraduate depart
ments Of Howard University, except
in the school OF manual arts and ap-
piled sciences, which conducted war
classes in radio work to a large num-
Der of enlisted men, according } the
annual report Of the president for the
fiscal year ended June 80. 1918. SUBJ
mitted to the Secretary Of the In
terror.
The number registering. the report
says, fell nearly 200 below that Of the
corresponding weeks Of the last pre-
vious year. Increased attendance in
the radio department from the en-
listed personnel Of the Army brought
the number of students up from 40 the
previous session to 257 for the ses-
sion ending June 30, 1918.
The total attendance for the year
has been 1,493, not including 80 who
took by correspondence in the school
of theology. The final total is 1853,
according to the report, an increase
of 1S over the year 1916-17. The stu
dents came from 80 different states
and 13 foreign countries.
Took Large Part in War.
'The experience of the year." the
report says, showed that the uni
versity was ready to take large part
in the support Of the United States
in the war. Teachers of all depart
ments have become officers, and some
Of them are across the water. The
same thing - true OF many students.
The teaching Of radio work con-
tinued from 1917. to the end Of the
session.
st became evident in April. 1918,
that tho War Department needed the
university for the training Of draft
ed men. The trustees voted at once
to close the session month ahead
Of time, and commencement was held
on May 8. On May 16 800 drafted
men were placed in our dormitories
by the War Department, to be taught
radio work. bench woodwork and
electrical repair work. Much Of their
time is occupied with military drill
and physical exercises. The uni
versity is for the summer a military
post and the success of the work is
exceptionally fine.
The university rejoices in the
spirit of patriotism which pervades
1t and in the very important contri-
buttons it is making to tho welfare
Of the nation"

and ssSo sbeut q.

You know that Pine Is used in
nearly all prescriptions and rem.
edies for coughs. The reason is that
pine contains several peculiar ele.
ments that have a remarkable effect
in soothing and healing the mem.
branes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combina.
tons of pine and syrup. The
syrup" part is usually plain sugar
yrup.
To make the best pine cougb
remedy that money can buy, put ~
ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle, and
fill up with homemade sugar syrun
Or you can use clarified molasses,
honey, or corn syrup, instead of
sugar syrup. Either way, you make
a full pint-more than you can buy
readynade for three times the
money. 1t is pure, good and very
pleasant-children like it.
You can feel this take hold of a
cough or cold in a way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be per-
sistentIy loose from the formation
of phlegm. The Cause is the same
-indamed membranes-and this
Pinex and Syrup combination will
stop it-usuaI1y in "a hours or less.
Splendid, too, for bronchial asthma,
hoarseness, or any ordinary throat
affmeqt.
Pinex is a highly concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, and is famous the world
over for its prompt effect upon
coughs.
Beware Of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "z5z ounces of Pinex'
with directions, and don't accept any,
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso.

the requirements of the Yuma project
may become a necessity. Such con.
nection would involve the enlargement
of the Yuma canal, down to the Siphon
Drop, to a capacity of 1900 second-feet
with alterations at the Laguna Dam,
and the construction of a canal from
the Siphon Drop to Pilot Knob at a
capacity of 5000 second-feet. There

might be provided according to circum.
stances, either, jointly by the United

the United States alone, subject to a
participation in power by the Yuma
project upon repayment to the dis
trict of a part of the construction cost
OF the total canal construction cost
a certain part should be charged to
power development. This may be esti
mated on the basis of power develop
ment near Pilot Knob on the assump
ton that the cost of getting water for

power to Araz (up to 5000 secondfeet,.
should be charged in equal amounts to
irrigation and to power There should,
therefore. be charged to power one-third
of the cost of canal construction down
to Araz if the All-Amercan Canal is
constructed at capacity Of 5000 second
feet and one-half thereof if the canal is
constructed at capacity of 5000 second
feet or if only the connection with the
Laguna Dam is made at this capacity.
The Yuma project should be charged
for the reserved interest in power two
ninths or one-third o fthe cost of the
alterations at the Laguna Dam and
canal enlargement and canal construc
tion to Araz, depending on whether the
All-American Canal is given capacity
of 5000 or only 5000 second-feet, and
40 per cent of the estimated cost of a
power plant at Araz. Consequently the
apportionment and distribution of canal
and power construction costs should be
as follows:

Power should be held available for
the requirements of the Yuma project
and the Imperial Irrigation District and
any organization for the irrigation OF
mesa and other lands. Power thus re-
duiredsshould be paid for at cost plus
10 per cent. Any power in excess OF
suhc requirements should be treated as
commercial power and sold The inter
est of the Yuma project should be pro
tected in the amount of power for
which a construction charge is placed
against the project. and if this power
be not generated at or near Araz II
should be transmitted back to that point

the Imperial Valley.
For a high-line canal project to the
Imperial Valley some water from storage
should be made available. This can
best be accomplished if the United States
will undertake the construction of stor'
age reservoirs on the Colorado river
from which water could be made avail
able for power and irrigation at rates
which would cover cost. Any such
storage on large scale would also have
some beneficial effect in reducing the
peak of the flood discharge in the lower
river, thereby cutting down the flood
menace to the submersible lands - in
particular to those of the delta region
and the Imperial, Valley.
