WRITES OBJECTIONS
TO SUPT. THURSTON

Supplementing his. testimony given
before the.,Senate committee now in
vestigating the school system of the
District Of Columbia, Dr. H. B. Learn
ed member of the board Of educa-
ton, now in California. has written a
statement. which was put into the
record today. setting forth his objec-
tions to Ernest l.. Thurston as super
intendent Of schools.
an experience Of nearly three
years on the board of education pre.
sided over by Mr.. George E. Hamil-
ton chiefly. from July. 1917, to July,
1913. and more recently by Col. John
van Schaick, jr.. has convinced me
beyond doubt of Mr.. Thurston's in
ability as a superintendent of the
Washington schools" says Dr.
Learned's statement
He lacks initiative; he is procras-
tinating; he will not lead or assume
the responsibility of decision at cru
cal moments. In other words. he is a
weak executive. Under his supervis-
ion the Washington school situation
has been and is seriously hampered
ITO cite only three matters of large
Importance concerning which I was
asked by your committee to give tes-
case and.Hthe Bruce situation in its
most recent aspect from April. 1919,
onwards. At crucial times in ali three
matters the, superintendent showed
lndec1sion and doubt. Neither posi-
tive plans nor construction or really
seem ready to vouchsafe. Doubtless
in every case he knew Of facts, or
FEATURES unknown to the board or to
me. Moreover in every case he was
given ample and fair opportunities to
propose plans or to make suggestions.
Without {nifiQffVa nm he
superintendent Of schools. any intelli.
gent board must at times plan and
take action. AS n board we did SO in
the three cases just cited. without any
disagreement regarding fundamentals
except possibly in the Wood case"
The statement charges that Mr..
Thurston's assertions that the board
worked secretly is misleading. and
holds that informal sessions Of the
board may be held properly without
the superintendent present. DR..
...e..a learned a,. refers to Mr.. Thurston's
rogative in late February. which alone
has the right to elect or re-elect," and
says the superintendent's action in
putting mis- case in the hands OF the
public has added to the writer's con-
viction that Sir. Thurston should not
hold his position after next June.
In conclusion. the statement says:
The children in Washington,
Whether white or colored. are the
most precious asset which we have
when looking into tho future Little
as they know it, they deserve to have
a thoroughly competent director
above them and their teachers. I be-
lieve such director can be found
even on the basis Of the $1,000 which
Is the superintendent's salary by law.
We are In. need Of a very strong,
large minded. vigorous superintend-
ent of schools. who should receive, in
my judgment, at least $4,000. AS a
board, I think we have been exceed
ingly hampered by what conceive
to be misdirected public criticism
against US. There is. however, just
one thing to do; to try hard to obtain
the sort OF man we want even under
conditions that look at this moment
distinctly discoufagmg-"

PAPER Use

MANY Of the better grades Of waste
paper are used as pure substitutes for
ground wood pulp. and are used in
making all kinds Of book, bond. ledger
and writing papers. II this Kind Of
waste was not used to some extent,
there would exist an even greater
shortage of wood pulp from which
most Of our printing papers and news
print paper Is made. The waste paper
used in the above list consists Of old
magazines. periodicals. books and all
kinds of printed matter in general.
Every pound Of this waste that is
saved and marketed prevents the use
Of original wood pulp made direct
from our trees.
THE largest tonnage of waste pa
per is called common mixed" and con-
sists Of any and every sort and scrap
of paper. such as newspapers. waste
from the Offices. stores, public build
ings and the homes. The chief use of
this kind of waste is for paper boxes,
roofing and building boards, paper
shipping containers (Which carry up
to 100 pounds Of freight or express)
and wrapping paper. More than two
million tons of ordinary waste paper
are used for boxes and shipping con-
tainers alone. The public is so ac-
customed to having it's goods in paper
boxes that it would be dumfounded
to find their use seriously curtailed,
and this is what will happen if we do
not look more toward the utiliza ton
Of waste. The use of waste papers
for this purpose prevents the con-
sumption of more than one billion feet
OF lumber annually and is increasing
daily. The utilization of waste must
keep pace with this to prevent a di-
rect use of our trees for the wood
, pulp. At the present time there is
very little original wood pulp used for
paperboard boxes.

|DR. WILEY WOULD
SAFEGUARD MILK

DIR. Harvey w. Wiley. chairman OF
the legislative committee of the Vir-
ginia- Maryland Milk Producers As
socfation. was the principal witness
today at the hearing. on proposed
legislation safeguarding the milk
supply of Washington before a sub
committee Of the House District com
mittee.
DR.. Wiley said his association In
cludes more than 200 producers and
supplies by far the greater part of
the milk consumed In Washington.
One reason why this association is
so much Interested in this legisla-
tion. he said, Is on account Of the
known persistent violation Of exist
ing regulations. and the present law
IS unable to correct the situation.
As result Of existing regulations.
1ronted with unfair competition be-
cause great deal of untested milk
is being brought into the city.

DR.. Wiley said he had only praise
for the regulation and that his asso-
cation is ready to make any proper
sacrifice in the. loss of cows found
infected with tubercular germs, and
he hoped that the regulation Will
never be repealed
The producers. he said. are confront
ed by the fact that their bill. intro
duced by Representative r. Walton
Moore OF Virginia. is broader and
more rigid than the bill introduced by
the District health department
Hitherto the producers have fought
shy of strict regulations. Congress
cannot go too far to meet the views of
the producers in regard to the tuber-
cular tests. DR.. Wiley said. He ap-
bill drafted by DR.. w C. Fowler, Dis
triet health officer. and he also ap-
proved condemnation and seizure of
impure milk. Questioned whether the
tuoercular test does not increase the
cost OF milk to the consumer, DIR. Wiley
said' yes, and justly So

about $50 for the skins, which were
dressed and dyed.

1.-THE republican steering committee

The fact Is that interviews by our

by instructions. Of the national con-

threat that If you are not satisfied
with that amount. you will get moth

'If you think government clerks

acts as hammer blow to your
nervous system. The constant repe-
tition of these jolts and jars tends to
exhaust your energy-to produce
that tired-out feeling you so often
experience.
Remove this cause Of fatigue
You can do much to prevent this condi-
ton. You can eliminate the shocks of
pounding hard heels on still harder pave
ments. O'Sullivan's Heels are especially
made to absorb these jolts and jars.
To secure the resiliency, the sprinfiness
of O'Sullivan's Heels, the highest grades
of rubber are blended by special formula.
With this blend of live, spriney rubber are
compounded the best toughening agents
known The "compound" is then
"cured" or baked under high pressure.
BY this means O'Sullivan's Heels are
made to absorb the jolts and jars of walk
ing. Moreover, the same process that
makes O'Sullivan's Heels resilient gives
them their great durability. O'Sullivan's
Heels will outlast three pairs Of leather
heels-they often outlast two paiYs Of ordi-
nary rubber heels.
Stop pounding away your energy. Go

Varnish is produced in China from a
tree commonly spoken of as the var
nish tree, but known botanically as
Rhus vernicifera, which is found In
abundance In the mountains of
Hupeh, Kweichew and Szechwan.
The varnish is taken from the tree
after it is about six inches in diane
ter by tapping at intervals of from
five to seven years, until the tree is
fifty or sixty years of age. A good
sized tree will yield from five to seven
pounds of varnish.
The natural color of the crude var
nish as applied is black. 1t is consid-
cred the most indestructible varnish
known. One peculiarly is that it
hardens only in moist atmosphere.
In China 1t is enormously known
among the foreign communities as
"Ningpo varnish," probably because
it first came into contact with foreign
trade here.
Many persons are poisoned when
they come into even atmospheric con-
tact with this varnish, which fact, I'M
fortunately, reduces its trade posi-
bilities enormously. As yet no method
has been discovered whereby this
poisonous quality can be counteracted,

VIM Quail should Be Protected.

The most expensive meat in Amer
lea is that Of the quail. The price of
the bird may be moderate enough, but
rhe loss caused by killing 1t is another
matter.
Competent authorities estimate that
each quail is worth from $40 to $25 to
the American farmer as destroyer of
insects and devourer of weed seeds.
This is particularly true in those
parts of the South afflicted by the boil
weevil. Quails are as fond of weevils
as weevils are of cotton, and more
than one farmer has noticed that when
his fields are well stocked with quail
the cotton crop Is safe.
There Is liable to be some very
vigorous game preserving in Dixie on
economic grounds rather than for
sport, during the next dozen years.

Why Water Runs off Ducks Back

The reason that water runs off q
ducks back is that the feathers of
ducks are oily and, as water ana o..
will not mix, the water runs off in
stead of soaking in, one reads in the
Book of Wonders, published and copy.
righted by the bureau of industrial
education, inc, Washington, d. c.
The feathers on a duck are so thick
on the body of the duck. top and bot
tom, that even if it were not for the
oil which is on the feathers the water
would have some difficulty in soakiag
through 1.-THE feathers. But the main
reason why the feathers on a ducks
back cause water striking them to
run off is that the duck has an oil
gland which is constantly producing
grease or oil, and which the duck uses
in giving his feathers thin coating to
make them slick, and when any water
strikes the duck 1t runs off, Other
birds which live in the water a great
deal have this oil gland for the same
reason.
