D. C. TO SPEND
ABOUT 100000
Big Building Program Will
Be Inaugurated In
Spring.

The District government is prepar-
ing to inaugurate big building pro-
gram for the coming spring and sum-
mer. just what sums vii be spent
in carrying forward the program al
ready adopted has not been an
nounced. but it is safe to say that
improvements costing nearly $4,000
are to be started just as soon as con-
tracts can be awarded.
The building program up until July
1 includes the construction of con-
crete bridge costing s35.Oe0 over the
b. and o. Railroad TRACKS on South
Dakota avenue; the reconstruction Of
the Washington and Norfolk steam
boat wharves at the foot of Seventh
street and the grading, improving and
building of cement sidewalks for many
miles of city streets.
Another important improvement
which is to be started within the
next few weeks is a permanent
building to house the 5O0-odd in
mates of the reformatory at Deco
guam. The Penal Commission, which
consists of Commissioner Louis
Brownlow. John Joy Edison and Jus
tice Stafford, has been authorized

With a view to determining the
location. type and style of the new
building, Commissioner Brownlow
and Engineer Commissioner Kutz
visited Occoquan yesterday. The
present building, which was built
for the housing of the long term
prisoners of the District. is of a
more or less temporary nature. and
was constructed much after the
fashion of a rough railroad camp
from timber sawed from the woods
nearby.

"Good-by Song
Here's the annual "good-by song
of the graduates:
We've spent some wonderful hours
Right here in Business High;
We've spent some fearful hours
Trying to say goodby.
But We now must leave you
With many a tear and sigh.
It's the school we love the best of all,
And We'll love it all the while
Though we leave it now with many
vow,
Well look back again and smile
To the Orange and Blue
We're always true,
And never shall forget.
Through years that come after we
have gone

A Business Proposition
BY WILL PAYNE.

Secretary Glass said the Victory Lib
erty Loan should appeal to the patri-
Otism of the people of the United
States and not be merely business
proposition.
Isn't that so? II WAS no business
proposition that sent two million young
Americans to France and made nearly
two million more gve up their time for
more than year to train for going.
This Victory Loan is to pay for equip
ping them, sending them over. keeping
them there and fetching them back
VIII you look one of them in the face
and say, "As soon as you stopped fight
ing and / had given you three hearty
cheers you became just business
propositior?"
But the loan Is a business PROPOSE
tion, too-this way:
You are Uncle Sam-a hundred odd
million Of you, individually. Says
Uncle Sam to himself, 81 owe several
million dOllars-Owe ii now on due and
maturing obligations that must be met
to the last cent. My credit Is prac-
tically unlimited. can borrow that
money OF the banks. They've got to
,lend 1t to me. That will mean a huge
imitation of bank credlt-bank loans
all swollen up with my paper-banks
consequently in q poorer condition to
take care of the ordinary business OF
the country.
But if do borrow the money of the
banks I've got to pay them back some
time. There are only two ways In
which man can finally get out of
debt. One way is to sell some prop
erty and pay up; the other way is to
earn more than he spends, saving the
difference. / have no property to sell.
Can't sell the White House or the ma
tional forests. The second way is the
only way for me. "Shall l borrow the
money from the banks now and there
by put off the real settlement, or shall
hundred million individual Uncle
Sans right now save out of their in
comes and lend the saving to- the col
lective Uncle SAM thereby enabling
him to pay the bills and wipe the slate,
with no imitation, leaving the banks in
sound condition to meet the needs of
ordinary business"
That is the question. 1t is your debt.
You owe the money. Finally you've
got to pay it in some fashion. To lend
in on the banks now is the most ex-
pensive way temporarily to dispose
of 1t. To save, individually, is the
best and cheapest way. Even waving
patriotism, it comes down to a busi-
ness proposition. Only the savings
and subscriptions of the whole public
can take care of the loan without in
fation.

GOOD STUFF

81 am unequivocally for 100 per
cent Americanism on the part of ev-
cry man, woman and child in this
country who receives the benefits of
its institutions. l cannot conceive of
anyone being a complete American
unless he speaks our language, SO that
he may interpret American thought
and understand the spirit of Ameri-
can institutions. / can realize that
among older people who have come
to us from some other country, it
might be hardship to deny them the
solace of using the language of the
country from which they come, but
all this does not apply to the younger
generation. In the elementary
schools of the state l claim only the
language of this country should be
taught"
