SCHOOLS TO ENTER
SIX TRACK MEETS
Squads Plan to Take Part in
Three Outside Games Be-

Washington High Schools plan to
Ike part in three track and field meets
this spring. besides the regular high
school championship competitions.
The last Saturday of this month at
least three of the schools will send
teams to the University of Pennsyl
vania relay carnival. all will enter
the open interscholastic meet May 10.

four are sure to go to the games sched-
uled MAY II at Tome School Techni-
cal. Central and Western have an
nounced their intention to be repre-
scented in the mentioned outside meets.
With the three meets announced as
the special program for the high
schools. and closed to them. the scho-
lastIc cinder path men ought to get all
the opportunities for competition they
desire. The program, if there has been
no change since an announcement last
winter. for the high schools will in
Volve three meets. one regular
championship based on the old cham
pionship affair, another champion
ship in which each school will enter
only one mar in each event, and the
other an open handicap championship.
These three meets are to be closed to
Western. Central. Tech, Eastern and
Business
Central Highs main strength in
base ball lies in its battery. Schafer
is much better pitcher than usually
is found in high school ranks and
Russell is catching good ball. Rus
sells throwing is far better than any
thing the average high school re-
ceiver can show. With these two
men working in the most important
positions it will take a mighty good
high school nine to whip the Blue
and White.
Two college base ball games sched-
uled today have been Cancelled. ST
Johns of Annapolis was to have ap-
peared against Georgetown and Fort
Myer had a contest with Catholic
University, but both out of-town teams
called off the engagements. Catholic
University is to open it's season Satur-
day with a game against Rock Hill.
Three high school ball games are
listed today. Business against the
Georgetown Freshmen. Western at

KEEP A HOUSEHOLD BUDGET
Practically Impossible to Run Home
Without Employment of Good
Business Methods.

II must be admitted that business
the very good and simple reason that.
manifestly you cannot carry on sue
cessfully any kind of business without
more or less bookkeeping, writes Carl
Marshall in Thrift But often you will
hear some easy-going housekeeper say:
That's too much trouble; l have
enough other things to do without
bothering with accounts. Besides.
what's the user 1t costs you just so
much to live anyway, and keeping ac-
counts won't make the amount any
less"
Lazy or inefficient folk are seldom at
loss for self justification of this sort.
Some of us can remember the old
fashioned country storekeeper who
used to spend most of his time sitting
on box whiting or gossiping with
the loafers when he should have been
studying his business. This cheerful
soul held the same views as the slack
housekeeper.
But we do not see much more of
z, this old-fashioned, happy-go-lucky
country merchant. He has long ago
been put out of business by his enter
prising competitor who learned the
value of good bookkeeping
The answer to those who would
shirk home account-keeping is simply
| this: You cannot plan your affairs with
any certainty unless you know about
| them. and you cannot know about them
unless you keep records of them

Education Via the "Movies." !"

Moving pictures offer such advan-
tages for many educational purposes
that 1t seems quite in order to expect
entire text books to be replaced by
reels Of film. In a recent London ex-
hibition Maj. e. d. Maddox of the
Royal College of Surgeons showed q
human skeleton slowly turning before
the audience, and gradually dis;nte-
grating, dropping bone after bone un-
til reduced to the spinal column alone.
Rebuilding followed. One by one the
bones were reassembled until the
structure was again complete, and In
this way the various elements of the
human anatomy were so brought to
notice as to give lasting impression
of their peculiar features and their
relation to the whole. 1t is suggested
that the series Of views may be so ex-
tended as to include movements of
limbs and joints in both health and
disease. The record value of the pic
lures has been already recognized, and
they viii doubtless be instruments of
increasing usefulness to surgeon, In.
vestigator and teacher.
