NEW STUDENT WORK
 AT CONGRESS HIGH

Now that the old high school build Ing has taken on a new dignity since 1t has been restored to its former proud standing in the community, and has been dubbed Congress High, it has become hive of activity, both academic, social and athletic. Since the announcement that the Lyon Ter race school and Congress High were henceforth to be known as separate institutions, the students of the old building have been fairly buzzing with excitement and enthusiasm for the new order of things.
 A group of student activities, in no way connected or dependent upon the main high school. are now in process of building.
 1t is feared in some circles that the separation of the two schools will injure athletics to some extent This may be true, point out those who are the case when the huge new east side school is completed. If eventually. why not now.
 A stern rivalry is expected to, be two schools. Both in athletics, shol- arship and debating, the Congress boys are planning to give the Main boys run for their money.
 School Work Divided.
 All activities will be carried on in two divisions. The morning and af- ternoon sessions, being composed of different classes, and having individu- al 1nIereSSS, WILL SaCn nave It's own clubs and teams. This Is different from the system used in Central High but it is believed by those in author ity that 1t is better adapted to the existing conditions than that in use across the way.
 First to organize were the athletic associations. Under the direction of Coach Lyon, an active year Is plan ned. Coach Lyon Is well qualified for the position, having just return Ad from Brazil where he served as a physical director. He is also grad uate of the Springfield Y. M. c. A. College and is we'll known in athletic circles in this city.

Wallace Irwin As 8
 Mining Camp Character

When Wallace Irwin. whose new story, "Daddy's Girl" appears in Everybodys Magazine for October, was asked for some material about himself he replied:
 When I was in Cripple Creek, the town was burned down, supposedly by incendiaries-and I rode forty eight hours on d stretch as deputy sheriff with instructions to shoot first and ask questions afterward. Acting on that sage advice, I almost killed a colonel of the Colorado National Guard. Dur ing all my life in the wild parts, I've only seen two deeds of violence. One was an old-fashioned barroom murder, and the other attempt on the part of a Belgian pick-and-shove1 man to kill a friend by rolling a boulder on his head. I worked in an assay office connected with a gold-reduction com pany, and once caused days boom in a sterile mining district by 6olting a mine. I failed to clean off the board where the sample was ground before being assayed, and, as a result, a lot of loose gold dust got mixed up with some rock which had lain for mill lion years, quite innocent of contact with the precious metal For a few hours Cripple Creek thought it had. discovered a bonanza-then the ex- citement subsided and I was turned out into the cold world.'

Painting Dent.


 The painting department have just finished a very successful summer season, having been well supplied with both in and outside work. Among the jobs just completed are four inside jobs of paper hanging all of which are credit to the class.
 We have also painted five houses outside, the past season, and are now working in Stamford on the new house that the boys in that city have just completed and as they have no painting department the Bridgeport Trade school was called on to finish the painting end of it. The house which is a frame one has six rooms and a bath.
 The Federal Board studnets working there are Paul Kovacs. Joseph Mavaro and Mardeg Hougasin and the out look is that the job when completed will be a credit to the Bridgeport school.
 Electrical Department.
 The Electrical department have re- gently completed wiring two houses on the East Side. One house was 2 two family structure and the othc-. a six family.

Saint Thomas Is
 Apprehensive Over
 Shipping Restrictions

CharA0tte Amalia, St. Thomas. V. l., Sept a. - St. Thomas merchants the amount of shipping that comes in to the harbor, are hopeful that Pres ident Harding takes prompt and fla vorable action on the memorandum recently handed him by commission from St. Thomas urging that the Vol stead Act be not enforced in the Vir- gin Islands; that the coastwise ship ping law be suspended, and that the quarantine regulations be abated.
 Ship figures compiled from the GUS tom house records show that for the year ended June 30, 1922, 2,156 ves- selS of all types entered this port, as compared with 2,552 for the previous year. For the 12 months ended June 80, 1920, 2,245 ships came into port.
 It is pointed out here that the year ended June 30, 1921, was abnormal, and that there has, in fact, been only a slight decline on the actual number of vessels entering port over the fiscal year 1920 But it appears that the port is not suffering so much from the decline in the number of vessels com ing here, from the fact that fewer
 of these vessels take on coal or other
 supplies.
 The United States Shipping Board
 built three large oil tanks here with a capacity of 165,000 barrels to sup ply fuel oil to Shipping Board vessels.
 They were filled last January, and since then the total withdrawals have been only about 10000 barrels. So far this year. it is said, ships coming intao port to take on coal have averaged less than one a week, and the coaling of vessels is the chief source of income for many men and women who earn from three to five cents for each basket of coal carried aboard. For the first three months this year the importations of coal were 2,165 tons as compared with i'm portationss of approximately 5000 tons for like period last year. There has been more cargo left in port this year for transhipment to other ports than in several years, but despite this fact, the amount of em- ployment furnished has been made quate.
 The island lives on the ships which i come into the port of Charlotte Ama1ia, and restrictions on shipping which were not known in Danish days are causing uneasfness among the people,

 Although final reports of the night ly attendance at the free evening school will not be tabulated until af- ter the opening night, the figures computed to date show an enrollmen ent swell considerably
 Night school authorities believe that this year will see the night schools more popular than ever with a greater attendance than in past years.

HAVE YOU AN INHERENT
 RIGHT TO OWN PROPERTY

IL IS or NttIe aVa1I to assert that there in an inherent right to own property unless there is an open op- portunity that this right may be en- joyed in a fair degree by all, says Cal in connection with the Better Homes in America" Campaign. That which is referred to in such critical terms as capitalism can not prevail unless it is adapted to the general requirem ents. Unless 1t be of the people, it will cease to have a place under our institutions even as slavery ceased.
 It is time to demonstrate more ef- fective1y that property is of the peo- pie. It is time to transfer some of that appreciation and effort that have gone into the building of public works to the building, ornamenting and owning of private homes by the peo- pie at large-attractive, worthy per manent homes

Campaign Against
 Child Malnutrition

The surveys of last spring having disclosed that 10000 school children of Detroit are more than 15 per cent. below average weight, the city coun- cil appropriated s20.000 to combat the situation, the expenditure of which sum has been entrusted to the department of health. It is planned to have all pupils weighed and meas ured during September and those chiidrn who are Is per cent. or moI e under weight will be given com plete physical examination by the medical inspector of the health de- partment
 Children who are free from inn pairing defects which might be re- sponsihle for the underweight will be eligible for nutrition classes, which will be formd in each sch ooI Those who possess the more severe impair ing defects of nose throat, eyes, thy roid and teeth will be advised of their condition and urged to have the defects corrected. A director of nu- triton has been secured to supervise the work of these classes.

TO HEAT YOUR HOUSE

Before you order your heating sys- tenn, take into account the size, shape, Rooms with high ceilings need more heat than low-ceiled one, and eight or ten times more heat escapes through window-glass than through 9 well-built wall. The waste through g. skylight is even greater, since the warm air rises against 1t. A loosely constructed house, of course, requires an especially powerful plant. It is wise to consult architect en- gineer who makes a Speciality of heat iing and to get him to figure just how big @ system you need and to make exact plans and specifications for one that is guaranteed to do the work. Do not accept a competitive bid made solely on a price basis. Do not install a certain type of heater on the ad- else of friend His house may be different from yours. A long rambling house. that covers much ground is harder to heat that a square, compact one. Make @ special study of the diff ferent methods of heating before or dering a heating plant for this type of house. Be sure to get large enough furnace, boiler and radiators.
 In buying heating plant be sure to say what kind of fuel you expect to use, as most furnac ces or boilers will give much better service if they are especially designed for the fuel that will heat them.
 Hard or anthracite coal is usually a most satisfactory fuel, wherever fe can be bought reasonably. In some sections it is cheaper to use soft or bituminous coal, coke, Ignite or wood. When heater uses any of the faster burning fuels of course it has to be fired more often. Where cheap nat ural gas is available it makes a most convenient fuel.
 With a heat-regulator or thermos- tat. it is never necessary to tend the gas heating plant.
 In estimating the cost of gas, count the elimination of the wages of fur naceman unless some member of the family tends the furnaee.-From the October Delineator
