All High School Girls Clad
In Blue and White, Proposed
By Mothers to School Board

Hundreds of high school girls
marching to and from school daily in
a uniform Of MILDLY blouses and blue
skirts was the vision held up to the
Board OF Education yesterday for ap-
proval by Mrs. z. Lewis Daily. repre-
senting the District Congress of
Mothers and Parent-Teschers Associ-
ations. when she formally asked the
board to adopt a regulation to- gov
ern and simplify the dress of the
girls attending the high schools. The
board took the matter under advise
ment.
Mrs. Dalby said that the soldiers
were uniformed, as were Boy Scouts
and other similar organizations. and
that the girls OF the high schools
should be uniformed. and pointed out
that Boston has such a requirement
for its high school pupils. She said
that she mad n daughter who used
this uniform during an entire four
VA term here. her boy was wearing
the cadet uniform. and that another
child would wear the MILDLY blouse
and dress when she reached the high
school.
Such a rule of the board. she point
ed out. would save the mothers OF
the city much worry in vying with
each other In dressing their girls for
school.
Requests of the high school teach
ers for an additional delegate to the
teachers council OF the normal
school teachers for representation
on It, and of the teachers of spe-
cial studies for a delegate were
taken under advisement.
A petition for a sixteen-room ad-
dition to the Joseph Rodman West
School. Fourteenth and Farragut
streets, was presented by Mrs.
George w. Kanodle on behalf of the
IParent-Teachers' Association of
that school.
Mrs. Kanodle outlined the condi-
tions existing at this school. al
ready pointed out by The Herald.
Owing to lack of evidence to
prove certain charges against
James c. Wright, a teacher at the
Dunbar High School, the board yes
terday raised the suspension OF that
teacher.
Request of Mrs. L. Bnlingsley for
the establishment of a community
center at the Deanwood School also
was taken under advisement.
The following changes in the per-
SOnnel OF the DlstrlCt SCHOOLS were
announced:

SILVER COINS

Congress Will Block Effect
Of Bullion Export, Hol-
land Says.

Silver. and especially the silver OF
which the United States is the posses
sor both in coin and bullion as well
as in the mines. is commanding atten-
ton now second only to that which is
associated with the attempt to secure
the economic quickening of Europe.
In December $1,000 900 in silver was
shipped to China. New bullion is also
uhoer export, this bullion having been
procured from the mines OF Mexico,
United states and Canada In eleven
months OF the year 1913 the shipments
OF SILVER from the country were of the
total value Of SOS, ,0oo, 900.
There seems TO be some apprehen-
sion lest the high price quoted in the
market for silver bullion may, within
a short time, cause the withdrawal
of our small coinage of silver so that
we may be in the situation in which
the North found itself during the civil
war. Then there was no silver in
circulation. For some months postage
stamps and even hotel tickets were
used Tor small change. And II was not

Although during the holiday sea =

were conspicuous for their pur-

those which represent luxury.
nevertheless from the savings

all of these large earnings made
by employees have been in that man

suburban district of Brooklyn. far
away from the business center, a
region where dwell for the most
part workinGmen and women. there
is a savings bank whose depositors
are chiefly men and women who
earn wages. Since the first of jan
uary of this year the deposits have
increased by nearly 100000. One
thousand new accounts were opened
since January l. And the total de-
posits were considerably in excess
of S15.000,000. Almost every dollar
of. this represents the savings of
wage earners and also reflects the
great increase in wages which has
taken place within the past two
yeaIs.

WIL SONS STAND
 ON PEACE TREATY AGAIN DOUBTFUL

Washington, March 13-Introduc- ton in the Senate of g. modified re- servation to Article x of the League of Nations covenant caused specula- ton today as to whether President Wilson would inform Democratic leaders of his attitude toward the new qualification. In the past he has usually taken steps to let his party know whether pending reserva- tions to the treaty were acceptable to him.
 The modified reservation did not serve to c1arify the befuddIed situa- ton. Instead it caused postpone ment of the expected vote on Article x which probably will not come un- til Monday or Tuesday.
 Irreconcilab1e opponents of the treaty condemned the sub-qualifica- ton as a "RepuDlican exploitation te the White House, while the mild re- servationists of the party followed the leadership of Senator Lodge, who introduced it.
 Despite defections from the Re publican ranks because of the change in the reservation, the Republican leaders said they could hold 30 votes for it, leaving 34 votes for the Demo- crats to deliver if the treaty is to be ratified with the sub attached. Elf forts to amend the substitute proba- ply will be made, in which case all existing lineups may be overturned
