Old Glory in German
Embassy Does Not Make
Boy Born There Citizen

Even though born under Ameri-
can skies. Oswald Lehman.
twenty-five years old. 1910 shep-
herd street northwest. was startled
TO be told late yesterday by
Justice Bailey, OF the District Su-
preme Court. that he was not an
American citizen. but that he was
a German subject.
Lehman was born IN the Ger
man embassy building, mis- father
being an official OF the embassy.
IL IL true an American nag graced
the walls OF the room where he
first say the light of the Ameri-
can sun. but that fact did not help
in making him an American citi-
zen.
Some one told the boys parents
that II the Stars and Stripes
were in evidence in the room the
youngster would be a native citi-
zen. The court held that the place
was German territory, and that
Lehman was a German subject.
The latter took immediate steps
10 become naturalized.

Blue Denim Alone Prevents

Says Announcement.

The overall movement has
spread TO the munitions building
OF the War Department, where
the Last Hop" overall club Is
being formed among the civilian
personnel.
Promoters explain the title by
saying that overalls are the last
hope in the descent from prohi-
bitive priced taiIor-made goods TO
the fig -leaf, which formed the
first costume.
This call to blue denims has
been issued by Mario 3. Saija,
1904 munitions building.
do you know why Adam. in
the Garden OF Eden. wore a fig-
leaf?
AT that time there were prof
iteers. but overalls were unknown.
adam. being the guardian of
the Gafden and Eva his stenog-
rapher, drew only one-fifth OF
cent per annum exclusive OF
bonus). and the poor fish could
not make both ends meet.
HE pleaded in vain: did not get
any relief. and submitted the case
to his stenographer. who sug-
gested leaf. Hence the first
protest costume
"Now times are changed.
1--WE clerks cannot endure any
longer the prices of the tailors
and merchants. nor the silly
looking styles which are pre-
scented to us. Our fat envelope is
too small for the big appetite of
our friends the clothiers. Hay-
ing no figleaf to wear, we viii
wear our overalls.
Many cities already have start

we do the same?

of the Munitions Building.
"If we can get enough names
in the club, we can ask the sur

the club.
'In any event, let us get to-

PROBE
COMES TOEND
Senate Committee Will Report
on Situation in Next
Three Weeks.

With the fnal shots OF the contend
ing factions nred yesterday. the most
important investigation of District
Affairs since 1879" Is at an end. and
the fate of the public schools OF
Washington Is In the hands of nve
Senators. who will make their report
to the Senate in the next three weeks.
Until the return to the city OF Sem
ator Sherman. chairman OF the sub
committee. who has been In Florida
for some time. the report will not he
written: but IL is hoped that 1t will be
In the hands of the Senate, with rec
concentrations for Legislation. before
the District bill Is passed.
1t is entirely too early to forecast
the kind of recommendations that
will be made. but this much is sure:
that the single constructive idea ad-
vanced by various witnesses making
a real impression on the committee is
that the appointing power over the
Board of Education should be taken
away from the District Supreme
Court. and placed with the President
of the United States, with confirma-
ton by the Senate of all nominations.
1t is taken for granted that the
subcommittee will recommend the APP
a.
relieve the superintendent of schools
of the business side of his administra-
ton. Practically every witness be-
fore the committee has stated that
superintendent Thurston Is vastly
overworked, and that much of his al
legged lack of efficiency as an admin
istrator is doubtless due to the in
finite number Of details continually
pressing for his attention.
As to the factional row involved.
there is considerable sentiment in the
committee for ignoring this as far az
possible. The recommendations for
the reorganization of the Board OF
Education will be sufficient remedy
for the factionalism that has split the
schools apart, in the minds of several
Senators.
President Van Schaick. of the Board
OF Education, yesterday served notice
on the community that the board in
tended to stand on it's legal rights and
insist upon the withdrawal OF Super
intendent Thurston when his present
term of office expires in July. There
is no disposition on the part Of the
Senate subcommittee to question Van
Schaick's legal right in this matter.
but several Of the committee believe
the board should be willing to rescind
its action should their findings of
fact" clearly indicate its advisability.
Senator Walsh. who has been TAX
ing an active part in the probe. -
now in Massachusetts,. and will not
return for ten days. Until all the
testimony is printed, the committee
will take no action toward drafting
its final report.
Senator Harrison has taken the
initiative in conducting the inquiry,
and is now receiving congratulations
on all sides. There has never been
any District probe which has been SO
thoroughly managed as the one just
closed. All sides and all parties were
heard, and no "cfue" was left un-
touched.
