who are so strongly urging them on

really saved by retiring at shutdown
and arising before daylight. as we
must do under this new scheme?
1t seems to me that Mr.. Harding
and those members of Congress who,
at election time, so humbly besought
the privilege Of being "a servant
of the people" are taking a great
deal on themselves to NEEDLE in the
matter. and from being servants of

In Washington one full week is set aside

The community center department of the public
schools render many valuable services to the
people of Washington during COS days. but, prob
ably, in respect is its usefulness outstanding
in carrying out arrangements for this great
festival. Fortunately schools, churches and socie-
ties have appreciated the value OF the work and
have co-operated loyalty.
The financial side of the event, however never
has rested on substantial basis. The directors
have no certain source of income Every act that

money concern sales OF souvenir program. This
