it stands for the V (Fifth) and last

dered by the civilian. When you see
a man wearing this badge you will
know the bearer has done his duty To
his country, just as you know the
doughboy who gave his service to his
country did his.
The soldier wears his service stripes
on the left sleeve. The emblem is the
chevron, the same shape as the 'V" of
the Victory Loan Honor Button. The
thought in each instance is the same
soldier or civilian has done that which
his country demanded, and the service
is shown by the emblem. always ap-
pearing on the left sleeve.
Each supplements the other. The
soldier could not have done his duty
had not the civilian done his in pro-
viding the sinews Of war-money.
Now that the soldiers duty is done,
he is entitled to wear his badge OF
honor. As soon-as each patriotic civil
ian has done his duty by subscribing
to the Victory Liberty Loan he will
be entitled to wear on his sleeve the
"V" button badge of honor.
This round button is not large. With
white characters on blue background
it will be worn only by those who have
actually bought OF the Victory Liberty
Loan, and have invested their none.

Miss Deal said the high school union
lost some members recently who were
against the miners strike, but added
that she knows of no designations
which have resulted from disagree
ment over local issues. She said she
did not believe more than seventeen

Miss Alton declared that she has not
heard of more than four or five res

Miss Deal said she understood pa

Although no teacher interested in

because of the limit placed on their
annual estimates to Congress. Will
not be able to ask this year for the
money to make these improvements.
Engineer Commissioner Kutz said
the Commissioners frequently have
called attention to the desirablllty
of surfacing these main arteries as
far as the District line, but stated
that an appropriation to complete
the projects cannot be asked Tor TINS
year because of the law which limits
the estimate of District expenses to
twice the estimated revenues of the
city for the year. This limit already
has been asked for. he said.
Improvement by Degrees.
The Engineer Commissioner said
that while steps could not be taken
to have all of these principal roads
improved Immediately, the Commis-
sioners have been improving. them
gradually by asking each year for
small amounts to extend the paving
on these thoroughfares by degrees.
There are more than a dozen roads
which have come to be recognized as
main arteries. and it is unothclaily
estimated that at least a million dol
lars would he necessary to give them
a good surafce to the District line.
To Make Traffic Counts
The engineer department of the
District is planning to make traffic
counts on these main arteries soon to
determine which are used to the
greatest extent 1t is probable that
the District will be guided by these
counts in determining the relative I'M
portance of these improvements.
The engineer department regards as
main arteries such gateways to the
city as Rhode Island avenue, Wiscon-
sin avenue, Georgia avenue. Connectl-
cut avenue and Bladensburg road.

the etwenty-four-room structure is be-
coming recognized as the best to meet

EFFORT TO AMEND SENATE
BILL ON FIREMEN'S PAY

When the firemen's increase pay
bill comes up in the Senate an effort
will be made to increase the pay of
the firemen over the amount allowed
in the bill as reported by the Senate
committee, 1t was said today. The
senate committee reduced the basic
nav of the privates by $500 from what
the House had allowed. If it is i'm
possible to restore the House provi-
sion entirely. it is likely that at least
a compromise will give the men 500
more than the Senate committee bill
An amendment will be offered on
the floor also restoring the increases
allowed in the House bill for the ma
rine firemen and the marine engineers
on the freboat. They were taken out
of the bill by the committee on the
theory that they were civilian en-
ployes, but it is now held that they
are not.
Although the railroad bill has the
right of way in the Senate, Senator
Calder of New York. in charge of the
firemen's bill. hopes to get action on
the bill before Christmas.

ASKS PUBLISHERS
CUT USE OF PAPER
House Committee Requests
10 Per Cent Reduction
for Six Months.

Every newspaper in the country
was called on today by the House
post office committee to reduce its
consumption of news print paper by
10 per cent for a period of six months
in an effort to relieve the present Sc
rious shortage, which, the committee
has been told. threatens the destruc-
tion of a number of small papers:
Voluntary cooperation of publish
ers would obviate the necessity for
repressive governmental action. said
the committee statement, which was
prepared by Chairman Steenerson.
Members of the committee said that
If the publishers carried out the vol
untary conservation plan further
action on the Anthony bill to limit
using the second-class mail privilege
would be postponed for the present,
at least.
Mr.. steenerson's Statement.
Mr. Steenerson's statement to news,
! paper publishers follows:
ITO the Newspaper Publishers of the
United States:
THE committee has considered the
shortage in the newsprint paper supply
and believes that unless consumption
can be materially reduced. it will result
in the destruction OF a large number OF
newspapers in the smaller cities and
towns and iDfict iIreparable injury on
the communities served by them: and
having in mind the great results ac-
complished during the war by the vol
untary and Iatrictic cooperation of the
people in saving food, fuel and other
necessaries. in which you had creditable
part, we appeal TO You to reduce con-
sumption of newsprint paper by at least
10 per cent during the next six months,
thereby averting the threatened injury
and obviating the necessity for rep-es-
sive measures in the future"
Testify ms to Conditions.
Testimony of President Glass Of the
American Publishers Association and
representatives of paper mills and pa
per brokerage firms indicated that
the prospective shortage for 1920 was
slightly less than 10 per cent, and
the committee decided a general re-
duction of 10 per cent by every pub
lication would eliminate the neces-
sity of enacting legislation opposed
by practically every large daily in
the country and some small publica-
tions.
Makes No RecOmme ndatiOns.
The committee made no recommen-
dations as to the methods of placing
the plan IN effect, leaving the details
up to the publishers themselves, but
it was suggested that the 10 per cent
cut be made from the present con-
sumption. Objection was made to the
plan, when proposed during the hear
ings on the Anthony bill, on the
ground that while the large news
papers would meet little mechanical
difficulty in placing it in effect, the
smaller dailies, semi-weeklies and
weeklies printing eight pages an issue
would find it impossible to cut down
the required 10 per cent. 1t was
agreed by the editors present that this
objection could be overcome by print
| ing but four pages every fifth issue.
