the most modern of progressive meth.
DDS of education, may soon be added
to the curricula of the District public
schools. Establishment of a depart
ment of civic and vocational service
in the public school system, of which
Nthe so-called know your city excur-
sions" would become d part. is be-
ing considered by DR.. Abram Simon
president of the board of education, it
was learned today.
Discussing his plan, DR.. Simon eX-
pressed the opinion that there are
many children in the Washington
schools who know little by personal
observation about their city beyond
the limits of their own imm ediate
neighborhood. The proposed excur-
sions, it was pointed out, would not
only acquaint the children with sec
tions of the city heretofore unknown
to them. but teach the geographical
and historical features of the local
ity visited.
A series of such excursions would
be of unlimited benefit. DR.. Simon be-
lieves. The present Indian summer
weather. the board president argues
would be ideal for school children ex-
cursions to Geological Park. Rock
Creek Park. Potomac Park and the
Lincoln Memorial.
If school officials approve of such a
plan committees of teachers would
be formed to organize know your
city clubs" in every school.

LIBERTY BONDS LOST.
Records Show 1858 Persons Have
Reported Missing Securities.

Liberty and victory bonds to the
number of 1900 to $4,000 have been
lost by 1858 persons, and of these 6.o3S
were holders of coupon bonds, the
Treasury Department records show.
The owners of the coupon bonds have
little or no chance to recover them
because there is no means of identifi,
cation. the Treasury experts say.
Owners of registered bonds who made
prompt report of their loss have an
excellent chance of recovery. The
Treasury authorities urge holders of
coupon bonds to exchange them for
registered bonds as promptly as pos
sible. The interest on the registered
bonds is mailed to the owner every
six months.

BLOOD OF THE NATION"

There is no getting around the fact that the aviators were the most swank of our army in France. And you did mt need to tell 'em they were good
 Here is favorite stunt the war cor respondents used to pull on them in Paris:
 An aviator, noticing the "C" on a correspondents brassard, would ap- proach and the conversation would run something in this wise:
 ''I say, old man, what's the insignia mean that you've got on your arm ?"
 "That means I'm correspondent. And, pardon me, but what do the sil- yer wings on your chest stand for?"
 "Why, don't you know? That means I'm an aviator, pilot"
 "Oh, that's it, is it? didn't know You see, I've been up at the front all the time"

AMERICAN LEGION TO AID
 RETURNING OF SOLDIER DEAD

The American Legion has expressed its desire to render any possible aid and comfort to relatives of our soldier dead returned from Europe for burial at their homes, and to honor their fallen comrades through participation in the funeral ceremonies. To this end the Legion requested the war depart ment to furnish the national head quarters with the names and addresses of next of kin, approximate date of re- turn and other data. This informa- tion can not be furnished to others than relatives of the dead, since it is peculiarly their property and its dis semination to others would be viola tion of our obligation to them and to the dead.
 The desire of the American Legion is brought to public attention in order that, should anyone wish any aid from the organization or that it participate in the funeral of soldier dead, the mat ter may be brought to the attenion of the commander of the local post, or if there is no local post, to the attention of the intended burial place of any re- Legion, national headquarters, Meri- dian Life building, Indianapolis, Ind.
 It is understood to be the intention of the national headquarters of the American Legion, in case there IS no local post in the immediate vicinity fthe intended burial place of any re- turned soldiers remains, to direct the nearest post to take action on those cases where relatives so request.
