<. 0F C. TO SPEND EI.HEIII.II)Ns FOR
 liI(,lIT SCHOOL :

The first endowment for night sekoo.s in t11e history of educa ton in the United G-G.tes. or, at any rate, the largest en5ow-nent for that purpose was anncuncel by the Knights of Co., Mlr1]as1s at their educational conven- ticn he'd last week in Chicago. The Knights will spend at least seven mil lion dollars on establishing and main taining free night schools for former service men and cost price schools for civilians in metropolitan and agricul- -tural centers of the country.
 Within year; the Knights have been able demonstrate that free edGratioT n light can be made pop tar provided 1t is absolutely devoid Of red tape CT of any suggestion of upiist or what is known obtrusive America nization. Yet more than 60 per cent. of the 165, GOO men who have passed through their schools are for eign-born or the immediate descend ants of the foreign-born.
 When the K. Of c. appropriated $5a,C00 last year to make the experiment of initiating free night schools, expert educators were of the opinion that if the F.. of C. succeeded In having one | thriving school within a year they could consider their experiment an l una aalified success. Not one, but 73 schools were fourish.ng before ten
 
 i first school opened in Boston. 1sow the Knights plan to increase the number to 200. They plan to have an enrolment of 25O GOO pupils---men and or1en---tbefore the end of 1920. i The next school term will begin the l first week in September.
 William J. Mckinley, supreme sec retary of the K. of C., has stated em- phatically that there will be no drive 1 for funds for support of the K. of c. schools. By economic management | the Knights were able to save a sub l stantia1 balance from their war re-
 lief fund of $4O,OO0,00G for recon struction purposes. They have secured sufficient funds to pay for the college courses they are giving to 500 for | tunate war veterans in leading uni versailles, and their night school plan which has achieved such results that i they have been termed "the miracle
 men of education," will be able to i care for all other war veterans and l all civilians who need training in any i skilled or clerical occupation.
 ttOur aim is gradually to evolve an 1 efficient system of community l schools says James A. Flaherty of Philadelphia, Supreme Knight "We i realize that there is need, in every l large community, for some sort o1 l institution under professional man i agement that will train young men
 and women for participation in the industrial and business enterprises psculiar to the community. We aim to maintain such schools-and oul ! work in the past year convinces us i-since we graduated 43,O00 student. that there is a big, wide-open field | for us. The K-C schools are open tt
 all without any creed or racial dis
 tinction."

BRIDGES REALLY GET TIRED
In Point of Fact, Steel Experiences
Fatigue Under Prolonged Strain,
Just as Human Body.

The fact that two men were killed
recently as a result of the metal Of the
crane on which they were working be-
coming tired" brings to light little
known phenomenon.
"Steel nearly always tires under pro-
longed strain. Just as the human body
does" said an expert at the inquest.
The amount of fatigue depends ON
the strain to which the steel has been
subjected. but ii does not necessarily
require an excessive weight TO tire
metal To its breaking point. An over
worked chain. for example. will break
under the weight of one or two tons.
although normally ii may have been
tested to stand 20 or 30 tons For this
reason all government contractors are
obliged TO give their crane chains
rest at stated intervals.
One cure for the tired chain is to
heat it until it is red hot and then put
it To bed in quick lime.
Metal bridges get that tired feel
ing in just the same way. Sunday. in
fact, is as great benefit to the tired
bridge as ii is TO the work weary hui
man being.

HOTELSPASS
CLAIM THAT PROHIBITION WAS
CAUSE OF CLOSING is DISPUTE
ED IN SOME QUARTERS.

New York, July f5.-The bidding
power of office seekers and not pro-
hibition has caused many hotels in
the general vicinity of And street to
close recently, according to opinions
of real estate men expressed today.
Within relatively short time of
one another such old and famous hos
ltelries as the Holland House, Sherry's
and the Fifth Avenue hotel have
closed their doors and more recently
the Knickerbocker-a relatively new
and imposing NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
business
Prohibition has done this" cried
many "wets." but now one we'll known
hotel woman advanced the theory
that the steady march of business to-
ward the newer uptown sections was
a paramount consideration of the men
who decided to close their hostelries.
"a hotel doesn't have to run be-
hind to close she declared, "if the
owner of the property considers it
better business policy to erect an of
flee building on the ground, he isn't
likely to let sentiment sway him. Pro-
hibition? No! Let's say business!"
Real estate men admitted, however.
there was no general formula to &C
SoohI Az lIC disappearance OIL the OLD
hotels, one of them the possessors of
international regulations.
Some people who are closely in
touch with the hotel business ascribe
the closing of some of the older
houses to the fact that the principles
of hotel construction have undergone
radical changes in the last decade.
Hotels. they say, are being built with
several times as many rooms as form
erly, effecting concentration about
one controlling headquarters and re-
ducing the overhead expense" Incl
dent to upkeep of individual rooms
and apartments.
Something more than a sentimental
loss is entailed in the passing of the
old hotels, another hotel manager
points out.
with the closing of the Holland
House, Sherry's, the Knickerbocker
and the Manhattan" he said, there
has been a decrease of about 1900
rooms available in the center of the
city. Recent structures have SUD-
piled about 4,200 rooms, leaving a
net gain of about 1000 rooms in five
years. This gain is not adequate to
accommodate the increased demand
1 doubt if even the new hotels now
planned will be sufficient to supply
the demands of the greater number of
