Objects Sought.
In teaching the subject of thrift in
health, teachers win lay stress on
hygiene: which is designed to make
strong bodies and good health.
In handling the subject of thrift in
time the teachers viii make an ef-
lori 10 save .inef for ,heir pupils
through more general observation of
study methods, leading them to ac-
eompilsh more in given time
throuSh helping them to develop
greater powers of applica ton and con-
centration.
Ihrlft of materials will be taught
by lmpressing on the pupils the value
or books and school supplies loaned
I or given them. The teachers will en-
phasize, when teaching this subject.
/ that care and economy in using books
are insisted upon, and that the pupils
must feel a personal accountability to
their teachers for injuring or defac-
| ing book and for wasteful use of
any school supply
Continuance of the purchase of
! thrift and war saving stamps will be
urged by the teachers when teaching

use literature prepared by the Treas

J In recommending the teaching of
the outlined thrift subjects in the
! school, the thrift committee pointed
| out that it "has no thought of intro
ducing new subject into the curricu-

! Much of what we recommend is now
| being done by many teachers through
spirit which runs through all their
, school work. Our hope is to see such
| moving spirit influence all teaching.
| Our ultimate desire is building these
| thrift ideas into character, to estab-
| liSh life habits"

Largest Enrolment in History OF
the District.

The largest enrolment in the history
of the District public schools has been
reached. Figures made public today
by Supt. Ballou show that 5000 chill
dren are registered in the schools, an
increase of 1851 over last years record
breaking enrolment.
Further increases in the registration
are expected when Congress convenes
next month, due to the fact that many
members have children. and viii place
them in the schools. The increase in
December is expected to reach 1000.
While the enrolment in the day
schools is steadily increasing, the night
school registration has decreased under
last year The figures show that S.027
persons are taking courses in the night
schools against an enrolment of S,8S7
last year, marking a decrease of $50.
The decrease in the night school regis
tration is attributed to the departure
from Washington of1hundreds of war
workers, many of whom took the
courses in the night institutions.

Constantine Always
Touch With Ex-Kaiser
German Tells Writer
BY GEORGE WITTE.


BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1920.
BERLIN, November rs. - Former
King Constantine Of Greece has been
in continual touch with the ex-
kaiser and his party for the last two
years, according to information which
the writer has just received from a
prominent German, who has returned
from Switzerland after a two-year So
journ, in the course of which he says
he often visited Constantfne's house.
When shown an interview given by
Constantine to a French newspaper, In
which the exiled king is quoted as
saying that he never favored En-
peror Williams policy and never
wanted Greece to enter the war on the
side of Germany, this man laughed
heartily.
Constantine" he said, played a
double game. While assuring William
II again and again that he would be-
come his ally after this or that crisis
had passed, he had not the courage to
face the demand of the cabinet that
Greece declare war on the allies. Per-
haps it is going too far to say that he
played a double game. He lacked
backbone and though in the Balkan
wars he proved himself an excellent
strategist he was an astonishingly
poor politician.
while king. he could not make up
his mind and even after he had been
chased out of the country he still
hesitated. His feeling toward his
brother-in-law, the kaiser, remained
very friendly. Though refraining
from writing messages, Constantine
has about him many Germans, includ-
ing high officers and diplomatic
agents. some of whom return to Ger
many from time to time to meet per-
sons who are received by the former
emperor and crown prince. Whether
Constantine is thinking Of completely
severing these connections with the
old German regime, now that he may
go back to Greece, do not know. but
I think it is very likely. 1t would be
lust like his irresolute character"
Though reactionary Germany would
like to see Constantine back on the
Grecian throne. little hope is express
ed that this will come true.

AVE-" OAs1t NiaO 49, AosS''
The Water Street forecasters who
maintained that the second inscription
of Sumatra tobacco suitable to the
American trade would show an advance
in price over that of the first inscrip-
tion can triumphantly say 81 told you
so" American buyers took 5000 addi-
tional bales of Sumatra at the second
inscription in Amsterdam This brings
the total of American type wrappers
of the 1919 crop secured for the Annex
ican market to nearly 18, 500 bales, or,
in oLher wor1s, nearly Is per cent of
the available supply. The market is
being gone over by importers for old
stock, the high prices Of the new i'm
pelling them to stock up Of the old as
quickly as possible.
The buying of the Cuban crop of Re-
medios and Capaduras is reported brisk
at prices ranging high; Remedies bring
ing over fifty cents, and first Capaduras
reaching. perhaps, dollar and over in
the Cuban market. Reports, which are
not considered absolutely reliable, are
circulated in Havana to the effect that
so per cent of the 1920 crop of these
types has already been bought. Amer
ican importers are in the field and the
competition is keen.
The chief interest in the domestic
field is centered on the outlook for acre
age in the different tobacco areas. The
universal opinion that prices of domes-
tic leaf will stay up is an incentive to
keep up the acreage, and the reports
from nearly every section of the coun-
try indicate chat the growers are doing
their utmost to produce large crop
this season.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June 10, l92O.
The New England tobacco grower is
already considering prices for the new
crop. Almost to man, the growers
insist that higher figure than ever
before will have to be paid for New
England tobacco. If the buyer has any
doubts in the matter, they will be
quickly dispelled as soon as he reaches
the tobacco belt. The grower is prim-
ed with convincing array of fiures
showing increased cost of labor and
fertilizer, higher prices for tent cloth
and other materials, stiff interest rates
on borrowed capital and difficulty in
procuring it at any figure, and advances
in other incidentals entering into pro-
duction costs.
If the buyer meets the growers
terms or even meets him half way, a
material increase in the price which
manufacturers must pay for cigar leaf
tobacco is certain. If the buyer does
not offer some advance over previous
figures there probably will be an in
crease in the acreage of tobacco packed
on the cooperative plan, and the dead
lock of two seasons ago is likely to be
repeated as regards other crops. 1t is
not too early to consider these phases
of the situation, as within month or
six weeks, if not before, buyers will be
motoring up and down the Valley max
ing tentative offers for 1920 tobacco
and in some instances seeking to reach
binding agreements.

EDGERToN, Wis. July 2, 1920.
It now looks as if tobacco planting
will be nearly finished before the
Fourth of July. The estimate of the
size of the Wisconsin acreage this year
made by The Reporter more than a
month ago is practically correct. There
are no official reports available cover
ing this point, but unofficial estimates
made by experienced observers agree
that the acreage will be about the same
as last year. The favorable weather
conditions for the rapid development of
plant beds, and the general encourage
ment coming to the growers through
the good prices for the 1919 crop, and
the fact that practically all of that
years crop was bought in good season,
and, added to this, the general strength
of the tobacco leaf market, may have
combined to slightly increase the acre
age in certain sections. With season
able weather from this time on favor
ing heavy stand of leaf to the acre
age planted, it would not be surprising
if the amount of the tobacco harvest
this fall would yield larger number of
pounds than the crop of last year. But
in this matter there is many a slip be-
tween the cup and the lip. Though it
is not overstating the situation to say
that it Is some years since the tobacco
stand in Wisconsin found itself in a
more favorable initiatory state than is
the case this year. In no section is the
crop suffering on account of weather
conditions. Good rains in places where
it was needed this week furnished
enough moisture to push the late plant
ings especially. The warehouse work
is drawing to it's close, though some of
the heaviest buyers may still be going
for another week or So
Thirty-fve carloads of boxes were
shipped out from this market during
