CHANCE TO ESTABLISH
MODEL SCHOOL SYSTEM
Charles I. Corby Tells Betterment
Committee Broad Vision
Is Needed,

There is before the people Of Wash
ington now the opportunity to estab-
lish here the model public school sys-
tenn of the world" said Charles l.
Corby, chairman of the citizens
school betterment committee, last
night "All we need is plenty of the
get-together spirit, hard work and
big vision"
Washington may now be described
accurately as the most important seat
of government in the world, Mr.. Corby
continued. "A great many people liv-
ing here object to the National Capt.
tails becoming an industrial COM
munity. Very well. Let's make 1T the
most important public school city in
stead of great industrial town. 1
believe Congress will be willing to
give US ample aid If we make out a
strong case and show our willingness
to work together for the cause"
Mr.. Corby recalled that famous
South American educator. studying
the public schools in the United
States, recently told John Barrett,
president of the Pan-Am erican Union,
that he was amazed to find that
Washington, capital Of the worlds
greatest nation, had not by any means
the best schools in the country.
I'VE ought to have too much pride
to be content with anything less than
the best" Mr.. Corby declared. Il
hope the movement just started will
not slacken until we have here a sys-
tenn which educators from all parts
of the world will come to admire and
study"

Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast-Uncooked cereal with top milk. buttered toast, marmalade, coffee. Luncheon-Molded asparagus cream, hot rolls. boiled rice with strawberry sauce, tea
 Dinner-Broiled sirloin steak, French fried potatoes, string beans, cucumber salad, green apple pie, cheese, coffee
 My Own Recipes There is never any pie quite so good as the first green apple one of the season. Early Astrakan apples mako the best pie. They cook quickly and are just juicy enough. Mix flour and sugar thoroughly and dip each piece of apple in the mixture. The pie will not be likely to boil over. A thin slice of cheese served with each piece con stitutes the famous great American dessert"
 Nodded Asparagus Cream 2 cups asparagus tips.
 1 slice onion.
 1 clove.
 1 slice carrot, sprig parsley F cup water.
 Salt and paprika-
 teaspoon lemon juice.

I refined Baintree 10 his siowest step. I proposed to have just one good talk with MT. Jacob Smart, son of an Arkansas sausage maker, and to hand him a few truths, even if I couldn't have the satisfaction Of addressing him by his own name

 I greeted them as if 1 had come on an agreeable errand.
 "Ann!" I exclaimed. "The mail from Jim you've heen waiting for has come at last. There's a pile of letters for you. Hurry home. Brooks will take you. You can ride fast! I'll ride with with For the life of me I couldn't call the creator of backgrounds for beauty by either of his names.

 Seeking the reply to his question, he leaned toward me.
 Involuntarily, without thought, being rather startled at the mans rudeness. but with my accustomed fearlessness and frankness, I looked squarely, de- fiantly straight into his face.
 Then the abrupt snort of an auto horn startled us. Our horses shied apart. Baintree wheeled and reared, but even as I brought him down, I caught glimpse of hy husband in his new car, so close that l could have touched him with my crop.
 Apparently he had been testing his car on the hills, and seeing me. he had come to a stop.

STARTED AT MEETING

ST. LOUIS, Mo, April pa nation
al campaign to check the spread of tu-
berculosis will be launched at the con-
vention of the National tuberculosis
association, which opens here tomor-
row, according to delegates arriving
tonight.
While the campaign, primarily, will
be to prevent the disease, 1t was eX-
planned that nothing would be left I'M
done to bring about cures. The cam
paign, it was amplified, is to be
known as the crusade of the double
barred cross.
Anti-tuberculosis societies will be
formed in every part of the country
where such organizations have not
been esta blished, and crusaders will
search out the estimated 1000 cases
of the disease in the United States and
work to obtain adequate care for the
suffers, it was said.
An intensive educational progra m,
directed at children as we'll as adults.
will be worked out to prevent the
spread of the malady, delegates as
serted.
1t was suggested that the phrase
fresh air fiend" be changed to fresh
air friend" and used as the slogan of
the drive.
Prescrbes Cures.
The Rev. John w. Day Of this city,
one of the directors, prescribed plenty
of rest, fresh air, and wholesome food
as the best preventive of the disease.
The industrial and housing problems
and laws to segregate tubercular pa
tients who are menace to the health
of others, will be considered at the
sessions il was said
| There are about 1000 anti-tubercu
losis organizations in this country, and
representative of each society is ex
pected to be registered at the conven
ton before it ends Saturday.

ity of Michigan, is president Of the

aggressive foreign trade policy by the

surplus.
Federal legislation guaranteeing In
dustries against strikes was demand
ed by Harry H. Merrick, president OF
the association. He referred to the
railroad strike and the recent steel
and coal strikes, as criminal at
tempts to stop production" and In
