THEATERS OPPOSED
ORCLASSROOMS
Some School Officials Are in
Favor of Part Time as
Better Plan.

Public school officials questioned to-
day the practicability of using mo-
ton picture theaters to relieve ofer-
crowded conditions in the schools.
Use of six film auditoriums already
has been offered school authorities
by their managers. but developments
indicate such a plan at this time is
not feasible.
Several school authorities stated it
is out of the question to make a pic
tuFe play theater an adjunct to the
system at this time. They point out
that the theaters have no desks for
tenn in such places is not adequate.
Lack Of Janftors-
1t also was made clear that il would
be impossible to obtain school janitors
to work In the theaters. Managers OF
the motion picture houses have con-
sented to furnish coal IL the school
system did not have sufficient supply.
BY using the theaters as assembly
halls, however. and showing educa-
tional films, ii is believed some relief
from overcrowded conditions could be
found. Under this plan, 1t was said.
class would be sent to the theater for
period of an hour. leaving its room
vacant for that time for another class.
Upon the return OF the class from the
theater. another class would be sent
there for a Similar period. and operate
on that system throughout the day.
Substantial Opposition.
On the other hand. some school au-
thorities believe this system would
not prove satisfactory. They argue it
would benefit the children more to put
them on a part time system in
building equipped for school work
than by sending them to motion
picture theater that is not properly
furnished for school purposes. There
fore. with opposition from several
ofhcials. it is believed in school cir
cles that the offer OF the theater
managers will not be accepted at
present. However. DR.. Abram Simon.
president Of the board Of education, II
eiated over the ofrer made by the
theater managers, saying that they
showed fine public spirit"

turns to Washington next week. he

Homer Cummings was the man who

Gov. Cox did not soon enough make

GUNS MAY FURNISH
PROTECTION
Dupont Station Hold-Up Has
Called Attention to Need
of Action.

Thousands of dollars worth of
Uncle Sans postal money and prop
erty lie practically unguarded in
Washington every day and night, with
scarcely SO much as a single revolver
to protect it from depreciation.
This was revealed today as the re-
suit of the hold-up Of Dupont postal
station yesterday by bandit at the
point of a revolver, thus bringing for
chilly to the attention of the Post Of
fee Department the situation existing
as to the lack of proper protection.

Department will give careful atten-

District, and, may make such an or

It is understood that hundreds of

of one of the drivers.
Miss Toomb's Experience.
1t was pointed out today that if Miss
Mary Toomb. the clerk at the Du-
pont station, who excited admiration
BY her bravery and saving of $4,000 in
cash from the bandit. had been in
possession of a revolver she might
have been able to fire at the man as
he left the building. -.
In order to leave the station the
robber was forced to turn a corner

CLOTHING FOR YOUNGER SET
Materials include Cotton Poplin for
Dresses for Girls and Suits
for Boys.

The time is certainly past when
ready to wear for mere song. Max
ing them at home is a great saving
this season, especially if the stores are
carefully "shOpped" for bargains in
materials. Fortunately no one style
dominates the style field for children
(for the matter of that, great leeway
is admitted in fashions for grown
ups as welD and variety is really the
important point TO achieve.
Cotton poplin is in high favor for
sturdy service dresses for little girls
and for suits for small boys Cotton
crepe is another fabric that is favor
tie when clothes for everyday wear
are under consideration. The small
girl will be becomingly QUILTED in
wolfe, organdie, swiss and similar
transparent fabrics when really warm
weather arrives-that is, for some
what dressy occaSions-but the sturdy
percales, pOplins. chambrays and cot
ton crepes will be selected for play
hours
Vivid, rather dark, or at least
medium shades are in great favor for
service clothes for members of the
younger set. Jade green is liked and
is very smart when becoming. Mari
gold yellow and a medium blue are
also much used.
