the committee as they will be set
down in the report TO the President
who Will frame his recommendations
to congress thereon.
The first duty of the committee has
been TO notify the various officials Of
the war risk insurance bureau, of the
vocational training bureau and of the
public health service that they will be
expected TO answer questions in a
quick endeavOr by the committee 10
get explanations for the partial fail
ure of relief work IN the past Amer
lean Legion officials from various parts
Of the country also have been sum
noned and from them at first hand the
conditions affecting the sick and the
wounded as they exist in the various
communities Of the land are TO be de-
termined.
1t has been from the first the in
tention Of the committee to get the
salient facts Of existing conditions so
that it can tell congress, through the
President, specifically how seeming
wrongs can be rectifed. The com
mttees of congress, therefore, will
have in concrete form the recommen-
dations of the committee endorsed by
American Legion officials everywhere,
and reinforced by the specific endorse
ment of the President of the United
States. II is said that the American
Legion officials did not have to urge
the President to the necessity of quick
and hearty action in these cases.

ConeOIldatlOn seems certaIn.

1t seems certain that II the various
bureaus Of government which have
been toasted with the work Of soldier
relief will be speedily consolidated In
one bureau, and that scattering work
will be q thing Of The past. The new
organization will be under the direct
charge of one Of the assistant seCre-
tares of one of the great departments
Of government who will give virtually
his entire time to the work.
1t is not believed today that the
bureau which grows out of the con
solidation will be compelled to look
after the matter of pensions. There
was an intimaton that pensions, as
such, would be placed under the CON
troll of the new organization, but the
belief seems to be that such an addi-
ton to the work would cripple the
machinery and delay immediate steps
for relief of conditions as they exist.
1t is not the intention Of the Amer
lean Legion TO reCede from its de-
mands for permanent hospitals, Mon
ey has been appropriated for new hos
pitfalls, and it is the intention of the
Legion to stand by its guns in this
matter, although there have been at
tempts to make it retreat from its
position.
1t may be considered as only a
guess, but | think it Is fairly safe to

Egg Rolling Was Great Sight.

There never was a sight in the city
of Washington Of like kind as that
before the eye in the White House
grounds on egg-rollng day. Children
always have gone to the egg-rolling
fiesta in large numbers, but inasmuch
as the celebration has not been held
for some years there was renewed
desire to take advantage Of the first
occasion possible.
1t will he a month before the White
House gardeners succeed in getting all
the egg shells disentangled from the
grass of the great White House lawn
The children were there literally by
the thousands and the eggs by the
tens Of thousands, because not q child
appeared who did not have in his or
her basket at least a dozen Easter
eggs. colored with every hue Of a sun
favored springtide.
No one was allowed I'm the White
House grounds except the children and
their parents or guardians or other
attendants. In other words, no one
could get into the grounds unless he
had a child or two In tow.

White House Door Closes a Bit

President Harding has been com
PEELED to swing the open door of
the White House an inch or two
toward the closing point. 1t may not
be necessary to move it any farther,
but if the influx of visitors maintains
its present current the door may go
within Il foot or two of the fast shut
point.
a good deal was written in the first
days of the Harding administration
concerning the open-doOr policy.
Seemingly everybody who came to
Washington, and everybody was a null
titude, had received the informa 10
that the White House doors were to De
fastened back. OF course the open
door policy of the White House con-
Germs itself largely with persons who
want to see the President on business,
but it also was intended that within
proper limitations the general public
would be received in the Office build
ing between certain hours.
Every day in the week, except Sun
day. for several weeks President Hard
ing received multitudeS of people be-
tween the noon hour and the luncheon
hour. He had a clasp of the hand and
a "Glad to see you" for many hun
dreds of people in the course of a
week. Within a few days it has been
found out that this general public
function has interfered with the trans
action of public business, and so the
receptions have been restricted to
three days in a week.
1t would be hard for a person at n
distance to get a conception of the
size Of the crowds of sightseers and
hand-shakers plus the oflice-seekers
who are now In this city in the glad
April month. Schools all over the
country have sent delegations of pu-
pills here to enjoy their spring holiday
and to learn at first hand how things
are done in the capital city.

TO THE TEACHERS AND PATRONS
OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.


In reviewing The recent statistics re-
ceived from the State Department OF
Education, relative TO the standing of
the various counties of the state, as to
school conditions in general, the at
tention OF the County Board of Educa-
ton has been called to the very low
rating of Charles County in the at
tendance made by the school children
in the county.
When we consider that the money re-
ceived from the state for the support
and maintenance of our schools is al
lotted to us upon the basis OF school
population and attendance, the impor-
lance of this matter can readily be
seen.
The County Board of Education has
ordered that all teachers shall report
to the County Superintendent any child
who may be absent from school with
out lawful excusel more than three
days during eight consecutive weeks.
During normal weather conditions
an average attendance of so per cent.
should be made. During the past
school month of p school days, the
schools OF the First District made an
average of 80 per cent.
Absence from school within the Com
pulsory Attendance ages shall be con-
sidered lawful only under the follow
ing conditions /:
Death in the immediate family.
Illness OF child.
Quarantine.
Mental or physical incapacity.
Violent storms.

Charges Polish Army Got
Cash Voted to Starving
Reed Tells Senate $40, 600, 900,
Intended to Feed Children,
Was Misspent

From, The TrTburs's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. - Senator
Reed, Of Missouri, while referring TO
economy in connection with the debate
over the inaugural ceremonies in the
Senate to-day charged that s40,00o,o00
Of the money voted by Congress TO
feed the children of Europe was spent
on the Polish army.
Senator Reed mentioned no names
and did not SO into details when
pressed By Senator Borah and other
Senator'S for more particulars. He said
he had the data on his desk and he
promised to go into the subject II de-
tail in day or two.
I've voted away s-50,0oO,OO0 to be
spent in Europe for the relief of the
people, Senator Reed said, and with
unblushing effronterv the same gentle
man who asked it tells us about s40,-
100000 spent on the Polish army
Senator Borah Immediately arose and
asked directly if Congress had ap-
propriated money to feed the children
Of Europe and $40 00OO,OO0 Of it was
expended to maintain the Polish army.
The statement is that 1t was neces-
sary to spend it to keep the Polish
army in the field" said Senator Reed
