sioners will go in asking school i'm
proVement OF Congress at the special
session Will depend largely on the
decision reached as to the method
OF financing them. Consideration was
given by the last board OF Commits
sioners to bond issue plan.
1t is believed. however. that the new
board will declare for the policy of
using surplus revenues now held in
the Treasury.
Needs to Be Pressed.
Under the application of the 60-4O
rule of approprating for the District
the rmillion-dollar surplus OF
District revenues could be Swelled to
approximately S6.00O.000 through the
addition of federal funds. but it is
by no means certain that the Com
niSsioners would favor spending the
entire amount on school improve
mentS.
There are other urgent improve
ments which they have in mind, par
ticularly the necessity of starting
work on the Tyler plan for increasing
the Districts water supply.
1t is not the intention of the Com
m missioners, it was indicated, to Jeop-
ardiZe the chances of obtaining q
few needed improvements by sub
mitting extensive recommendations to
Congress during the extra session. In
fact. it is said to be extremely likely
that only school and water supply
needs will be recommended.

commissioners TO
TAKE UP SCHOOLS
Expect to Hold Cof-Asrence
Soon With Board OF
Education.

There will be conference in the
near future between the District Com
missioners and the board of educa-
ton. it was indicated today at the
District building. for the purpose of
formulating a program for school i'm
provements to be recommended to
Congress at the special session be-
ginning next month.
1t may be stated that the Commits
sion.rs will favor asking Congress
for liberal but reasonable apprOpria-
tions for buildings and sites, and
such a policy will, of course, have the
active backing of the board of educa =
ton.
Will Follow Policy.
The school board. it is understood,
will present to the Commissioners
practically the same recomns >ndations
for buildings and sites that WS.e sub
mitted when the last District -%ydget
was being prepared, with the .N~ms
that Congress subsequently appr1>~i-
ated for eliminated. These recon-
mendations contemplated total aP-
preparation of s3.S09.250.
The Commissioners. in order to keep
the general budget within the pre-
scribed limits. were forced to prune
the school figures for buildings and
sites from So SO9.25O to $1.702.00O. and
the latter amount was recommended
to Congress. The appropriation final
ly passed by Congress was $9SO.OOo.
After the regular budget had gone
to Congress, last year the Commits
sionars, at the suggestion of Senator
Curtis. proposed other school i'm
provements. to be paid for out of the
Districts four-million- dollar surplus
in the Treasury.
Provided for Fourteen Sites.
The District appropriation bill,
passed by the Senate later, provided
for the purchase of fourteen school
sites. at a cost of s412.500. the items
being in addition to those included
in the Commissioners original budget.
1t was provided the sites should be
bought out of the surplus Treasury
revenues. but the additions were
stricken out in conference.

French Amaxons.

The French, transferring some sol diers from Wrangel's army to their own foreign legion, have discovered one of them to be a woman. They have engaged her as a nurse; but there have been many cases in which they have allowed women to bear arms in their service. There were, for instance, the Sisters Fernig, who fought at Jemmappes, and of whom Dumeuriez reported that "they were even more remarkable for the remark able prOprlety of their behaviour than for their reckless daring" One of them saved Belgian's life, killing two Uhlans in order to do so; and the Belgian, having recovered from his wounds, vowed that he would seek her out and marry her. It took him years to track her down; but the quest was eventually successful. The mar riage was duly celebrated, and two of the children -born of 1t did we'll in the world, one of them becoming honorary counselor at the Douai Court of Ap- peal, and the other inspector general of the Belgian prisons.

PLANS FOR NEAR EAST
 RELIEF CAMPAIGN

Plans are now being made for the Near East relief campaign in Arizona, according to an announcement from the state office in Phoenix, of which Charles F. Willis is the director.
 Although the Near East organiza- tion, through the generosity of Amer jeans, did wonders in that stricken country during the past year, the con stant warfare that has been waged by the Turks, has left behind it trail of famine, disease and utter desolation.
 The investigation committee of the Near East that has just returned from survey of the country draws a picture of the situation that is diff cult for us in this country to under stand.
 Children, some barely old enough to stand alone, so shrivelled by starva- tion that they have lost almost all semblance to anything human, beat at the gates of the American orphanages, appealing to be taken in, but there is not enough room, and barely enough food for those inside.
 Armenia is the land of the living nightmare" declares Miss Sabra Bradley, the Tucson girl who has just returned from two years work in the Near East. "We thought we had be- come hardened to suffering after see ing the refugee camps around Con- stantinople, but Armenia brought nothing but a series of sights at the memory of which one sickens."
 Prospects for the future of the adult population seem almost hopeless, as it is being rapidly carried off by disease and starvation, but the Near East relief is making desperate effort to save the children. Thirty thousand of these little waifs are now in the orphanages, but twice that number are still to be cared for. The number has decreased greatly since last year, due to starvation and disease.

tion classification as a result of the marketing of agricultural products. This is particularly true of the South. where pessimism has prevailed for some time.
 The manufacturing industry will come Unto its own" and the retailer will replenish his stocks and labor will be in greater demand.
 This may appear rather optimistic.
 We can be more specific and see if these conclusions are unconservative.
 In our previous review we showed by rather reliable statistics that the demand for our wheat is bound to be large and that cotton prices will sure ly hold above 20 cents. If the farm CTS are able to move their non wheat products even at bare cost total retail consumption and money circulation will be larger than last year. As MT. George M. Reynolds, the Chicago banker, remarks, "Fall business will be augmented by the marketing of fair crops at fair prices-crops having been produced at less cost than those of recent years-it will be necessary for dealers to replenish their stocks of merchandise. That will mean or ders for the factories and employment of labor"
 We prefer business based upon the sure and strong financial conditions rather than the domination of the manufacturing interests.
 It is more logical and permanent.
 The world is more sane when this relation exists.-Exchange.

AWARDED PRIZE FOR VIRTUE
Picturesque and Ancient Ceremony That is Annually Performed In
 French Municipality.

Every year, In the week following Pentecost, the municipal council of Faremoutiers, following a tradition three centuries old, sOlemnly awards the prize for virtue established by M. Lambert of Nee, a civic benefactor, in the year 1864.
 The presentation follows an original and charming ceremony, every detail of which was arranged by the fOun- der. Thirteen maidens, chosen as the most virtu0us in the community, pre- sent themselves before the municipal council which selected them. In an urn are twelve blank ballots and thir- teenth bearing the following words |: "God> has chosen me-" Each candi- date, with eyes closed, draws a ballot, and she who draws the ballot with the motto Is forthwith declared winner of the rose of virtue.
 This year Destiny chose Madeleine Thomas, a dressmaker, sixteen years old. Amidst general exclamation, the happy winner was escorted on the arm of the mayor, who presented her with sheaf of flowers. to the home of her parents, while a musical society, es- pecially organized for the occasion, played appropriate airs.-From Le Pe- tit Parisien.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
 GROWING BETTER
,TNY'R'a'ssssNY.w.5

Daily business developments for the first week in October and at the be- ginning of the autumn period are of more than usual importance. Against the adjustments of the first nine months of the year they reflect rather concretely, definite trend for the next six months.
 The agricultural situation is sound. Cotton and wheat prices are somewhat lower but fundamentals justify the ex- pectation that they will advance. Cot ton prices are high, wheat prices should be higher. The banking situa- tion continues to be favorable.
 With the exception of cotton these factors have been favorable for sev- eral months.
 At the beginning of the more active year-end the steel companies, the rail- ways and even the building construc- tion people are able to report in- creased activity. The bugbear ap- pears to be the coal trade; it is hope lessly bad because prices are positively prphibitive.
 The manufacturing industry is de- pendent upon more universal con- sumption. Wages have been lower and consumption has been less even ignoring higher retail prices. The Middle West, the South and scattered sections of the entire country are just emerging into the increased Nconsump-

Big Alligator Negroes Prize.

Two negroes were attacked by a huge alligator in West Caney swamps, near Orange, Texas. The big saurian, which measured ten feet, chased one of the negroes up a tree. The other negro in the meantime placed eight bullets in the center of its head. The negroes, who had encountered the alli- gator while fishing, returned to the spot where the battle occurred next morning, and found 1t dead. They lowed 1t through the marshes to the northern limits of the city.

Sunspots In 1920,

The last maximum of sunspots was in 1917. During 1920 spottedness con- tlnued to decline, the mean daily spot-area for the year being about TOO millionths of the suns visible hemi. sphere, or half of that of 1917. On a few occasions, especially during Au- gust, the solar disk was practically free from spots, while on some days in January and March the total spotted area was more than 2,5O0 millionths.
