Attitude of Board.

In deciding that these commercial

from the District institutions Of

pIeSsed the hope that the eXperi-' ert
conducted would point the way to a
permanent solution Of the local food
problem. T hey believe that either
the District markets or rented build
ings would be more desirable as food
handling centers than the schools.

purposes, said member of the
board today, but the greater need
OF education made the action irnpera-
tive. However. We believe that the
school stores have been a justifahlc
educational experiment, ard that they
will lead to something bigger and
more practical. The pioneers in this
civic service undoubtedly have shown
that community cooperation can ac-
complish a great deal in reducing the
cost OF living"

Concurrent Power Discussed.

we cannot eliminate from the
Constitution that concurrent power to
enforce it's provisions was given to
both Congress and the several states.
No law would be passed in pursu-
ance to the Constitution which failed
to observe this provision. Joint or
concurrent Legislation is necessary
for the enactment of proper enforce
ment legislation. The rea-
son for this reservation of state
power is plainly apparent from the
drastic legislation now attempted to
be imposed upon the people, and
,lainly offensive to probably d ma =
ior.ty of them. The widest possible
latitude is given to the prohibitory
S -ction. while in the enforcement sec
tons the states are reduced to sub

Question of Extent of Ruling.

The community center organizati ton
has not yet taken steps to put an end
20 the selling of foods in the school
house stores. There is some question
- to whether the ruling applies to
foods shipped by parcel post to branch
post offices that are located in school
buildings. Park View has a branch
post office as well store in the
sChoolhouse at Newton and Warder
streets northwest.
The Park View School was the first
IN the District to work out commu-
nifty cooperative buying on big
scale. John G.. McGrath, who devel-
oped the enterprise there, worked up
d trade that at one time last winter
reached the proportions of a fifty
acknowledgements business. Eggs.
poultry, butter. lard and other COM
modities were received in wholesale
lots and sold at saving to the con-
sumers ranging from Is to % per
cent.
The board of education looked upon
his activity with a feeling of salts
faction that an important service was
being rendered citizens, but a grow
ing conviction that sooner or later
the enterprise would. reach the point
where il no longer would be desira BILE

The provisions for enforcement of the

OF intoxicating liquor which is in eff

distilled spirits for beverage purposes
and also beer. wine or other intoxicat-

tanning 2.15 per cent of alcohol by weight

ban on light wines and beer. in a

Ders of the House judiciary commit

Those who signed the report are Rep

Gratis. and Dyer (MissourD and Clas-
son (Wisconsin). republicans. They
base objections to the enforcement
bill reported out by the committee
upon three principal grounds, and
challenge the power of Congress to
pass it because in defining intoxicat-
ing LIQUORS it went beyond the orig

Must Find Other Places.

Unless the board should make an
exception to it's ruling to permit the
carrying out of the Army plan as
temporary measure. the Commission
ers will have to look for distribution
depotS outside the schools if they con-
slider that the three municipal mar
kets do not adequately meet the sit
lation.
Mr.. Gardiner and John McGrath, who
has consented to supervise the dis
tribution. will consider the problem
today.
Not since community center work
had its beginning here has it received
such a jolt as that sgiven by the
boards action. 1t is made clear, how
ever, that the ruling in no way re-
fleets a ladk of appreciation of what
has been done in the schools to reduce
the cost Of living.
The new policy springs simply from
the conviction of the board that COM
mercial activities in the schools have
developed to the point where they
threaten to interfere with the primary
purposes of the schools.
The resolution stating that it was the
sense of the board Of education that
schools should not be used as stores was
o!faeed by Dr. Van Schaick and is I'M
UsrsIood to have been adopted unani-
mously.
