If knew you and you knew me
If both of us could clearly see,
And understand with sight divine

And elasp our hands in frIendlincss.

The melody OF life that's heard
Across the years. But deeds divine
From human hearts may freely shine
And through them only may it be
That know you and you know me.

Congressman Treadway Of Massa-

day . soldiers bonus bill authorizing
q $4,000. oOO, 900 bond issue for the
beneft of needy veterans Of the world

The bonds would bear interest at
the rate OF AZ per cent per annum
during q period Of TWENTY-FIVE years.
The main purpose of this bill"
Rafd Congressman Treadway, rs to
establish fund which shall be ad-
ministered in each State by a board
consisting Of State officials and the
State commander of the American
legion. The fund is intended for the
relief, care, or support Of any sold
iers, sailors. or marines, whose case

can Legion post and approved by the

THE underlying principle Of tho
bill 10 to be assured that no eases
Of actual need, either among tho vet
Grams Of the world war or thear fam
lilies. shall fail to receive attention.
TT seems to me this bill has q
marked advantage over . direct pay
mant to every man In that In many
Instances such payment might not be
needed and iU others the benefits
from II would be only temporary.
Should the idea OF this bill be an
acted into law, the trust fund thus
established will directly benefit ex-

A school building program Is now

today.
The need of . definite building pro-
gram has been recognised for many
months, said DIR. John Van Schaick,
president of the Board Of EducaAsn.
but II was not until recently that at
tempts have been made to make such
an outline of building. The program
probably will look twenty-five years
into the future.
IN q few days q subcommittee from
tho school council will be appointed.
This committee will seek data from
other cities over the country to de-
tcrmine the best method OF estimating
the needs of the public school system
In the future.
The necessity of such q program
can be seen especially at this time"
said DIR. Van Schaick, "and we expect
to get down to work on II shortly"
Such Q program would mean the
expenditure OF four or five million
dollars, but would, II carried out, also
mean the saving of the local school
system.
Twenty-four room. buiidings, in
stead Of eight and sixteen room
buildings, will be asked Of Congress
In the future, II was learned. All Of
the new buildings will be equipped
with gymnasium, assembly hall and
