THE IRREPREssIBLE FLArrERER,

We note that New Yorker is the hero of story which
relates how raise fish in a fat and make If
pay This must be some kind of fat of two rooms with
sx-room efficiency something of the sort; as it is
now very often, can't even raise children in fiat
and make it payin the opinion of the landlord; make
the fiat pay we mean.
The successful ichthyoogist does not as one might
think keep the fish in the sink and dip them out into
handy tin pail when it necessary to wash the dishes
de has his rooms-effcency rooms and all-fttcd up
with "aquaria" Necessarily after the aquara are in
you don't insert many rocking chairs in the living rooms
as anybody knows who has fitted up his fiat with book
cases, sectional otherwise The fish tanks can be con-
structed on the same plan as sectional bookcases
But one can't why, if one is to be walled r with
-wall-eyed pike supposedly and night why
one shouldn't move out and into place Where he cond
be comfortable and let the fish have their own way
plug up the doors and windows fill the room with water
and have an aquarium that is worth while

If all the gladness of their ways

A joy that is so soon to 60

CLAIM ASKEInA WAS GWEN S9,OOO
 FOR GRAND SCHOOL PLANS DESPITE
 FACT THAT THEY WERE NEVER USED

Seizing a chance to remark on the lack of funds of the school board, when it was brought out at last nights meeting that S4000 job on the grounds of the Madison school was held up on account of war work and shortness of cash, pr. Clarence E. CauIkins emphatically asserted that Architect Leonard Asheirn was paid S9,000 for a set of plans on the Grand street school although drawings were never accepted and he was entitled to only s36O for his work. Commis- sioner Caulkins attack on this ex- penditure opened up 8 debate of con siderable proportions, and the mat ter was finally referred to the City Attorney, who will be asked for an opinion on the case.
 Dr. Caulkins declared that the mat ter should be taken up with the ar chitect. and that he should be asked entitled to.

His estimated fee was s12,o00 and he was to receive one per cent of this for preliminary plans and two per cent for completed plans exclu- sive of details. It was therefor claimed by members of the board that the architect had but three per cent due him.

Is circularizins the negro sections of Philadelphia and this city, the circulars being worded in violent language. sometimes Illus trated with cartoons of the most vicious conception. In every tn- stance the circular urges the negro to join the l. W. w, and in some instances to ally himself with other bodies of Bolshevist sympathies.
 Virtually every l. W. W. and Left Wing Socialist paper published in this country Is now taking part in this propaganda Some Of the papers are edited by nesro agitators, who openly adytae fhe negroes to arm. and to de- ferx their rights. as one paper put n, with fire, shot and she'll"
 Dr. Robert l.. McElroy. educational director of the National Security League. made public yesterday parts of a report submitted by pr. l.. B. Moore. the Dean of Howard Univer- sity in Washington, who has been investigating the negro situation, particularly in the South.
 "Restlessness among the laboring c1aases is found generally throughout the South" says one report. "A wei trained teacher in one of our larger schools fin the South told me the co1ored people were being organized ,fo fva ,1f I yU d4sgruntled attitude of the returnins soldier Is a potential factor in tn, South in making for uneasiness and large measure of dLscontent.
 Recently I heard from a colore, man of national reputation that there wore efforts on foot to have the oolored people leave the South quiet ly, but fin a constant stream, for other sections of the country. As I have talked win colored people I have found q strong desire in many places to get away. They want better schoo conditions and living conditions. We are in danger of having a little Rus sia in many sections of the South land"

ed it through on it's own authority. Commissioners Challenger and Ha- vens agreed with Dr. CauIktns on this statement.
 The matter of paying the teach CTS at Lincoln school an extra $50. for special work done during the year was brought up again at last nights meeting, and the board de- cided to pay the teachers for their work. It was said that the over crowded conditions at the Lincoln school were responsible for the add ed work placed upon the teachers.
 Two bills amounting to little over $500, presented by Coach Hunt, of the high school athletic teams gave rise to a considerable discussion as to the advisa bflity of hiring a coach at contract. Most of the members of the board favored this scheme and coaching of teams in the city schools may be done in this manner in the future.
 It was recommended that another stenographer be hired for work in the school board offices, and the recom- mendation was adopted. A salary of s750 per year will be paid for this position. Miss Irene McDermott was appointed telephone operator in the school board offices to take the place of Lila Caskey, who will return to col lege this fall.

Claiming a question of personal privilege. Alderman Cornell opened up on the Bridgeport Construction Company and though stopped three times by the mayor who inquired If he was coming to his question of privilege. the Democratic leader con t!nued his expose. As he was con- cluding, he remarked: 'I haven't yet come to my question of personal privilege, but I have said what l wanted to and am satisfied"
 Cornelrs statement was to the eff feet that despite the objections of the Democratic members of the Board of Aldermen, public works contracts were let without competitive bids and on a cost plus basis. He declared that the Bridgeport Construction company. never organized, although papers of incorporation had been fill ed. was the recipient of city contracts amounting to s110,0O0 and that the regulations were so far disregarded d that not even a bond for the proper performance of work was required The alderman charged that the prof its of the company were as high as SC per cent and often as much as 25 per cent. The office of this com pany is in the City Hall and it's head quarters IS the Orf1Ce or the Director of PueAc Works" declared the all derman.
 Mayor Wilson's reply was that es- inmates on work had been prepared by the city engineer; that no concerns would bid on the work and that 1t was let to the Bridgeport Construction company at a figure under the city engineers estimates and as a. result more work was done than would have been possible under the bid system The mayor added that there was less money in contracts on the cost plus basis and as a result most firms wouldn't accept work unless they could bid and make bigger profit. He declared that there was in existence nthe city a sewer combine and the cost plus system had been adopted tc defeat this organization.
 Replying to Mayor Wilson, Alder man Cornell pointed out that the city had the right to reject bids and se curing them did not bind the director of public works to this methos1 of giv. ing out work and that the city char ter had been violated In the pursu ance of such methods.

WHEELER TAKES UP CUDCELS FOR
 PR0H|BITI0NlST

Washington, Aug. 5.---Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon League of America, took issue yes terday with the opinion of Elihu Root. William D. Guthrie, and William L.. Marbury, counsel for the U. s. Brew ers' Association proposed war prohi- bition act is unconstitutional.
 '"The authority of Congress to enact the war prohibition law" MT. Wheeler said, rests on the provisions in the constitution which gives Congress power to support the army and navy. This power and obligations extendj through demobiliZation. The courts have so held. Congress evidently in tended to prohibit all ibeer and wine in the original act. Some of the courts hold the act does this. Others hold differently Congress is simply trying to make clear the intention of the original act.
 Tt is now we'll settled by the S11- preme Court that if Congress has power to enact a law, 1t has also the power to enact additional legislation to make the original act effective and enforceable. To define the term in- toxicating liquor is necessary to make the act enforceable especially where courts have defeated its pur- pose by construction
 Referring the charges of the asso- ciation opposed to national prohibit ton, that the Anti-Saloon League was actively aiding in a campaign of the W. c. T. U. against the bill MT. Wheeler said:
 The anti-tobacco scare of the pro- hfbitton association does not fool any one.
