Paris, March $50 far the general

.SH|vERING IN
OCALA SCHOOLS
Both Teachers and Pupils Have Beer
Miserable in the Badly Heated
Buildings

The weather clerk was not good to
the Ocala school children this morn
ing, giving them one Of the most bit
ter days of the winter to return TO
school in.
1t was SO cold at sunrise, that Mr.
John L. Edwards, chairman of the
board of trustees, telephoned to Prin-
cipal Hensley to send the children
back home unless the schoolhouses
could be properly heated by 10 a. M.
Mr.. Edwards also visited the schools
at opening time.
A Star reporter went thru the
schools shortly after nine o'clock. The
temperature in the primary school
was bearable for we'll clothed chill
dren. The highest temperature in any
room was 90. The sun was warming
the building faster than the furnace,
but it was considered best to send the
children home.
The high school was not as well
warmed as the primary, but Mr..
Hensley smiled and said with the help
of the good old sun he thought they
could stick it out. The study hall
was fairly comfortable as long as the
scholars kept their coats and wraps
on. Scholars seen at noon, however,
said the room became very chilly Iaters
in the morning. Mr.. Hensley said the
building was warmer this morning
than on other days of the cold spell.
DR.. Peek. the medical member of
the board, visited the schools this
InSnnafnI nN.1
asked the scholars if they wanted to
stay or go back home. Nearly all de-
cided to stick it out. One classroom
being too cold, the teacher and her
classes went into the study hall. The
room for classes in science was cold,
the radiator not working. and it was
not used today. DR.. Peek will inspect
the school again tomorrow. By his
advice, the primary school children
were sent home.
The janitor, who runs the furnaces
at both schoolhouses, was certainly
doing his best. He had good fires at
both schools. He said he fired up at
both places at o'clock, and had been
throwing in the fuel ever since. He
had four pounds of steam at the pri-
mary school and had just left eight at
the high school. When he returned
to the high school the steam pressure
was three and a half. He says four
pounds should be enough at either
school. The fuel supply had been con-
siderably improved at both schools.
1t is evident that the primary
school heating apparatus is made
quate for very cold weather. and that
at the high school, faulty when it
was put in, has deteriorated TO less
than half of its very moderate effic-
iency.
The high school building is also
suffering from too much ventilation
as the wrong time. AS the reporter
went out at the west door. he found
that the said door had sagged so it
was impossible to close it tightly. A
blast of wind that seemed right off a
snow field, was pouring in at the crack
and entirely undoing the feeble efforts
of the radiators in the hall. The re-
porter pushed the door as closely shut
as he could. but at the best the crack
was wide enough to admit draft with
an edge like razor.
| There will be no excuse for the
school authorities if they do not have
the schoolhouse overhauled before an.
other season.

washington, March 1.-The rail-

head of one Of the largest tailoring

reduce the present high costs and
are selling as low as they can un-

lies in the present system of dis

but add nothing to- the value of the

HUN REVOLUTION
CAUSING WORRY
IN WASHINGTON
BY DAVID LAWRENCE

Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.)
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Plen-
ty of theory, but not much fact,
that's the most that can be said
thus far concerning Washington's
opinion of the new German revo-
luton. Where the wish is father
to the thought the upheava1 in
Germany is regarded naturally as
confirmation and justification of the
large variety of opinions expressed
on Capitol Hill during the last
twelve months Of treaty discussion.
Wilson defenders say it proves
that the president was right when
he said that chaos would come to
Europe if America withheld her hand
fl IN the enforcement of the peace
treaty's obligations. Former PreS1-
dent Taft, not exactly a Wilson ,apot-
ogist, but staunch friend OF the
treaty and league of nations, says
the same thing. But the irreconcil-
able opponents of the treaty ana
league call the German revolution
an internal affair, entirely divorced
both in cause and effect from the
peace treaty = - 80
Informa ton thus far available at
the department of state would seem
to bear out this view to a certain
extent.
peace Terms Too Harsh?
The resolution does appear, Oh the
face of official cables received, to
have been motivated by the desire
of the monarchists and reactlonarles
to get back into power! Something
that was Inevitable no. matter what
happened outside of Germany. NO
party that>rsonce. held power, either
imperial, Republican, Democratic or
autocratic, ever issY content to stay
outside the gates of the trasure
house as. .lorg as there is a chance
to get on the inside.
But while friends of the treaty in

would have happened if the League
of Nations had been set up, impla-
cable foes of the pact say it is di-

]. HITS GOOD L|CKS
FOR AGRICULTURE
Georgia Senator Working
Two Shifts Between Meet
ings of Agriculture Conn.,
mittee and Peace Treaty
CThe Atlanta 1orrna' News Bureau)
cas- Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, March 15-With
the treaty fight raging in the SEN
ate and the senate committee on agri-
culture meeting both morning and
night for the past two weeks, SEN
ator Hole Smith has revived his
hours OF labor scale and is now
practically doing double shift. The
Georgia senator, who is taking an
active part in the treaty debate and
compromise efforts. spends from
noon to SGD each day on the floor
,of the senate. The agriculture COM
rnittee meets at 10 o'clock in the
morning, quits when the senate con-
venes and then comes back for a
night committee session at s p. m.
These night meetings run frequently
until IL o'clock.
B; Senator Smith attends these agri-
culture meetings because he thinks
that nowhere else can he render more
practical service to his Georgia con-
stituents. The committee has now
agreed upon the agriculture bill, and
Senator Smith has had the salts
faction of inserting several amend
ments that will be to the benefit of
Georgia as well as the country at
large. ',-,'>
Gotten Grades Limited
He secured the insertion of a pro-
vision making permanent the limita-
tion of grades which may be ten
dered on the New York cotton ex-
change. This stipulates tender of
only two grades below middling.
The Limitation was of originally
temporary Legislation, expiring July
n, but the SMITH amendment makes
it permanent. -...-...- .-... ....- .-
On Senator Smiths motion, the ap-
preparation for fighting insects in.
furious to cotton was increased $780,
600. and he has arranged with ihe
agriculture department to use this
increase for the introduction OF Gals
cium arsenate to destroy the boil
Weevil, and it is his especial purpose
to test 1T cut with long staple cot
ton in south, Georgia.
Also on the motion of Senator
Smith, S505600 was added to the tp-
appropriation for the purpose Of con-
Quoting the work Of the department
in grading and inspecting cotton in,
bonded warehouses.
- Senator Ransdell- and Senator Smith
placed upon the bill an appropria-
ton Of 100000 to fight the pink
boil worm, which is probably the
most dangerous pest to cotton that
has ever invaded our country. It is
supposed to have been brought over
from Egypt, and it; first broke out
in Texas. The department nearly
succeeding in graduating the pest in
Texas, but last year it broke out
for the first time in Louisiana. 1t
is supposed to have been contained
in some Egyptian cotton, and the
effort will be to destroy it before it
spreads into other states. g.
