Twelve or fourteen mothers. stand
ing IN the wind, keeping their children
in line while the youngsters waited to
enter Public School 100, in Brooklyn,
yesterday, voiced their opinion of the
crowded building and attendent diff
ficulties for mothers and children.
Some could not speak English, and
were dependent upon the children as
interpreters, but they all had plenty
TO say.
Mrs. r. Setter. 42o Powell Street,
said:
"The great need in this part of the
city is for schools enough to take care
of all the children on full time, and
for Fairgrounds. They ought to buy
the land near the schools for play
grounds. Suppose it is valuable land?
Are not the children valuable. too 2"
Mrs. A. Rubcnfeld, BAT Hageman Ave
nue., said:
eve have three children at school.
They have to walk twelve blocks, be-
cause there are no schools near our
home. 1t is too far for them to come
home to lunch, SO they must have a
cold lunch or do without. l find that
they do not eat their cold lunch, and
they come home tired and irritable.
of curse they are on part time.
That means that they lose something
every day, and in a school year that
counts up great deal. And you can't
give it back to them. You see the
school grading goes right on just the
same, and the things that they do not
get they let pass, that is all. I do not
see how the teachers know how to
grade them there are so many in
c.asses. 1t simply means that the
children have lost that much out Of
their lives, and not all the talk of the
Mayor about the hard time he had and
his little red school house will ever
make up to these children what he has
taken away from them"
Mrs. Ida Perlmsn, 412 Powell Street
objects to having her young son travel
ln the subway in the crowded morning
hours.
1--WE need new high school here in
Brownsville" she said. every morn
ing my oldest boy must go to Bedford
High School. 1t is very far. The
trains are crowded with workmcn and
business people and. the boys and girls
get into those crowds and it is not
good for them.
II wish the mothers could have some
thing to say about it. Why don't they?
| thought that was what they gave the
vote to us for, so that we could get
what we wanted. If we could ali meet
and talk about the schools and say
what is really needed perhaps the city
would listen to u.s."
1t was cold on the wind-swept corner,
but the group of women waited at least
ten minutes before their children were
marsheled into the big building.
"lf there were not so many children
our children could go inside and wait
where it is warm until time for their
classes to begin" one mother pointed
out. "But now there is no room for
them inside. 1t is not very pleasant
now, and in the winter what will the
little children do? On snowy day
they cannot stand in the cold.'

Carry-On Soldier
Aid Association Is
Cleared in Inquiry
Books Are Returned and Dis.
trict Attorneys Office
Sees No Need for ANY
Furth er Investigation

Books of the Carry-on Association,
an organization for disabled soldiers
and sailors, which was investigated re-
Gently by the District Attorneys office,
were returned to Mrs Wendell Phil
lips, national president of the associa-
tion, yesterday by District Attorney
Swami, with an announcement that
there will be no prosecutions and that
the grand jury will not be asked to in
quire into the case.
According to the District Attorneys
Office, the books were scrutlnized al
most microscopically, not only by office
auditors, but by outside certified ac-
countants as we'll.
Injunctions restraining the associa-
tion from ejecting ex-soldiers from the
organizations clubhouse at 271 Madi-
son Avenue, which were obtained by
Mrs. Grace Humiston, attorney for the
veterans, were vacated several days ago
IN the Supreme Court. On Tuesday
Mrs. Phillips asked that the books be
returned to her in time for q meeting
of the board of directors yesterday af-
ternoor AT this meeting all of the
executive officers Of the association
were present, and on adjournment Mrs.
Phillips left for Washington. 1t was
declared the association would con-
tinue it's work.
In her letter to Mr.. Swami asking
for the return Of the books Mrs. Phil
lips said:
~ hate to hasten you in this matter,
but | want at this time to hold nv or
ganization together and to keep the
faith of my directors. which, am glad
to say, this investigation has not
shaken. 1t therefore would be great
satisfaction to me to tell them that you
are satisfied.
'"The work which I have been trying
to do, and which has made me hold on
in the face of all the discourager1ents
| have encountered, has been to relieve
from hospitals and institutions hum
dreds of cases who cannot make good
in the world outside, but who, if they
had chance, under the medical care
and satisfactory environment which
would make this possible, could earn
living"

protested Peter. Chow can you know

With this Johnny Chuck disap-
peared down inside his house and
in few minutes some more sand
was pushed out. Peter scratched one
long ear with a long hind foot. Then
he scratched the other long ear
with the other long hind foot.

He can't. No, sir, he can't. Yet he
acts as if he really believes it. Why.

Identification of
Girl Dead i'm Pond
Is Up to Dentist
Woman Who Says Body Is
That of Her Sister Asks
Arrest of Dolly Higgins's
Admirer and a Physician

Mrs. Mary Ballard, of 20l McDon-
ough Street, Brooklyn, still is positive
that the mutilated body of the young
woman found last Saturday in a pool
in lot in Long Island City is that Of
her sister, Mrs. Dolly Bailey Higgins.
DR.. Charles Norris, chief medical
examiner, said last night that he would
not accept the identification because of
differences in the description of the
dead woman and the description of Mrs.
Higgins.
Mrs. Ballard viewed the body again
yesterday. She was &C ompanied by
her mother, Mrs. Anna Bailey, of 757
Halsey Street, Brooklyn, and tvo
friends, Mrs. Helen Otto, of 1888 Quin y
Street, Brooklyn, and Homer Dennis, Of
l2d1 SchenckA Avenue, Jamaica. All
were sure that the body was that Of
Dolly Bailey Higgins.
Mrs. Ballard demanded the arrest Of
man with whom her daughter is said
to have run away. and also the brother
of this man, a physician.
One reason why the police doubt the
accuracy of the Identification is that
Dolly Higgins, as described to them,
lad gold tooth. The girl in the
Morgue has no gold tooth, nor, ac-
cording to DR.. Norris, dental work
of any sort, The police have found
the dentist whose services were given
to Mrs. Higgins, and he will be asked
to look at the body to-day.
In addition to this, Thomas Higgins.
the husband of the missing Dolly Hig-
gins, has declared the body is not the
body of his wife.
Mrs. E. Richard. vino on Tuesday
identified the body as that Of Bertha
Becker, or Baker, was discreditcd YES
terday. The Mr.. Richard she declared
was ner husband said his wife is in a
hospital So far the three shirts
found wrapped around the dead girls
head have failed to help the detec-
tives.

impossible to tell whether they should
be in school or not. This has a bad
effect on the school morale.
On 109th Street there is an addition
to this school under construction
which was originally approved on Au-
gust Ia, 1918. 1t was first promised
for September of that year, but the
Hylan administration neglected it, and
the contract was not finally let and ap-
proved by Comptroller Craig until No
vember 20, 1919. The contract called
for completion on August ID, 1920, but
the addition is still under construction.
When asked about it the teachers
of the school merely shrug their shoul-
ders with an air of resignation and
say: 1--WE hope to be in it some time
before 1926"
The addition when completed will
add twenty much needed classrooms to
the school, an auditorium seating 400
and gymnasium.
G. B. j.. Snyder, Superintendent Of
School Buildings, in his last report.
stated that at no time had the work
of construction on this school been de-
layed, yet the force of men employed
by the general contractor has been
such that progress has been very
slow"

Bedtime Stories
Johnny Chuck Has a Feeling
BY Thornton w. Burgess
Some things aVe knoao but can't er-
plain;
Just hoV zoe knoaU zoe can't make

Johnny Chuck.

Johnny Chuck says it is just
"feelings"-and Johnny knows. He
has had them many times and rarely
have they proved wrong. He has
grown to have great deal of faith
in his feelings, and he has had rea-
son to.
Johnny Chuck is member of the
Squirrel family. Perhaps you didn't
know that, but it is true. He is a
distant cousin of Happy Jack the
Gray Squirrel and all the other
Squirrels. Like all the other men,
bers o. the fimily. Johnny believes
in preparing for winter, and he be-
girs early.
Early one morning some time be-
fore the first visit Of Jack Frost it
happened that Peter Rabbit CHANGED
to be passing near Johnny Chuck's
house, Johnny wasn't in sight, but
it looked to Peter very much as if
there was some fresh sand on
Johnny's doorstep.
That is queer" thought Peter. "T
wonder if anybody has been irving
to dig. Johnny Chuck out of his
home?'
He hopned nearer, and as he did
so he saw some sand thrown out Of
Johnny Chuck's doorway. Peter was
more surprised than ever. He pricked
up his long ears and sat up to stare
at that doorway quite as if he never
had seen it before.
Some one is inside there digging
now," thought Peter. II wonder who
it can be ?"
Just then some more sand was
pushed out and then the head of
Johnny Chuck himself appeared.
Johnny came out and sat up on his
doorstep. He grinned at Peter.
"Good morning, Peter said he.
Why are ou staring at me SO %
Peter gave q little sigh of re-
lief. II was startled he confessed.
~ saw some sand thrown out of your
doorway and thought some one was
digging you out. You must have been
doing the digging Yourself"
Johnny Chuck nodded. 81 was"
said he.
"What for?" demanded Peter. az
thought you completed that house
last spring"

piled Johnny Chuck. II didn't know
then that we were going to have such
cold winter"

In this school, as q result Of the
failure of Mayor Hylan to keep his
campaign promise to provide seat
for every child, there are eirhty-six
classes conducted in fifty-seven class
rooms. In many of the rooms in the
older building three boys are sitting
on a seat.
The official statistics of the Board
OF Education show that there are 3.554
boys registered in this school, while
the legal seating capacity is only ..6os
Only 1895 of the boys are receiving
a full regular course of instruction,
the remaining 2,519 boys being on
strict part time.
The older building is a memorial to
the neglect of the Hylan administra-
tion. The windows on the front of the
building are broken in many places and

Take off your hat,
and be silent for a moment

This is Theodore Roosevelts Birthday Now that
the world is thinking about the final settlements, and
the questions of disarmament up everywhere it is
worth while to remember that if Theodore Roosevelt
were here to speak the subject he would repeat what
he said May 5th 1910 to the Nobel Prize Committee:
Something should be done possible to
check the growth of armaments especially naval
ment, by international agreement No power could
or should act by itself for it is eminently undesirable
from the standpoint Of the peace Of righteousness that
which really does believe in peace should place
itself at the mercy of some rival which may at bottom
have such belief and intention of acting on it,
Finally, it would be master stroke if those great
powers honestly bent peace would form league of
peace not only to keep the peace among themselves but
to prevent by force if necessary it's being broken by
others.
These were his very words. Let us not forget them
