GENOA CONFERENCE
 DRAWING TO CLOSE
Financial, Economic and Transport Questions May Be Settled By
 Committees Today.

Genoa, May 5, (By Associated Press) The Genoa conference today expected to conclude it's deliberations on financial, economic and transport questions.
 This will leave only political prob lems to be settled and very stubborn problems they are. The Russian ques- ton and the proposed on-aggressior pact are taxing even the ingenuity of Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain but there was great optimism today over the probable solution oi both these questions.
 Patience is being counseled by all the leading delegations and the conference is apparently facing a hard pull of at least three weeks.
 It is reported that F. Barthou. head of the French delegation upon his return from Paris will join in the conference with the Germans which MT. Lloyd George is arranging. At yesterdays meeting with Chancellor Wirth and Foreign Minister Rathen- au MT. Lloyd George is reported to have discussed his non-aggression pact as we'll as the separations pay ment due from Germany on May 31.
 Many of the lesser members of the Russian delegation are leaving to- day as virtually all of the work re- quiring experts has been completed and only the delegates and few as- sistants will remain to fight out the battle with the powers which has mar rowed down to the issue over the nationalization of foreign owned prop erty in Russia

IMPORTANT ISSUE
Protection of the Interests of the Farmer is Also Being Discussed in the Danish Parliament.

Copenhagen, May 5.-Protecuon of the interests of the farmer has be- come as important an issue in the States Congress
 On the one hand the government is being criticized by the trade union- ists and some other political organi- cations on the ground that the gov ernment is treating the farmer to pa formally. On the other hand the Dan ish Farmers association, a strong or ganization, is hectoring the govern ment for not protecting the farmers interests and for alleged failure to fulfill the governments policy of strict economy in state affairs.
 The farmers association is threat ening to form an independent politi cal party unless the government takes care of their interests more satisfac- tory
 As showing need of greater econ- omy in government affairs 1t is point ed out that the Danish state railways and nearly all of the railways in Denmark are owned by the govern ment-show net loss for the last month of 3s,400,oOo kronor (about s7, ,6eo,o 900 at current rates of ex- change).
 Higher wages coupled with in. creased passenger fares and freight rates and state official management are blamed here as the chief reasons for this costly result of allowing the state to own and operate the railways

SCHOOL CONTRACTS
 TO BE RECOMMENDED
Accommodations Com. Takes
 Action on Bids

| The committee on school accom- modation at a meeting yesterday de- cided to recommend that the contract for the construction of the new Wash ington school on the Carmody site be awarded to the Torrington Building Co. Their bid was s23S,524. Bids were received last week but action was postponed until yesterday to enable the members of the committee to in quire into the financial standing of some of the concerns making bids. The recommendation, it is expected, will be adopted by the school board at a meeting this evening.
 Other Contracts
 Recommendation for the other contracts are as follows: Electrical work to William T. Rock of New Haven for s7,400 plumbing to F. A. Shaffer of Bristol for $9,ol9, and heating and ventilatng to F. A, Shaf- fer of Bristol for s21.692. '.
 Description
 The new building will be two stories most modern and sanitary plumbing, heating and ventilation system. It will contain 24 classrooms, two kinder garten rooms, an auditorium and gym nasium. The form of construction will be similar to the Nathan Hale school, only it will not be as expensive. If the school board sees fit to adopt the recommendations of the committee, these firms will be ready to start work immediately The contracts do not specify any time limit, penalty or bonus with regard to the time.
 Different Gymnasium
 The auditorium and gymnasium, however, will be radically different in the new building from that in the Nathan Hale school. In the latter building, the plan of having large stage to be used as gymnasium also was tried, but instead of finding the new plan advantageous, the school accommodation committee does not find it advisable in other buildings.
 To Further Plans
 The accommodations committee are not through with their plans for wide expansion of the education system in this city with the building of the Washington school. There will still be d great need for room for the school children and it is the intention of the members of the committee to appear before the board of finance and taxa ton to ask for money for new school on South Main street which is part of the general plan of de- velopment.

What Do You
Know About
Washington

What do you know about Washing
ton? Dimly you know its divisions
politically; maybe you can name all
the counties and county seats, know
where the capitol is, and which are
the coast counties, the largest cities,
and which the fruit and grain rails
ing sections.
But do you know the geographic
laws and their application to this
state? Do you know its geologic his
tory, where are the lava flows and
the evidences of glaciers? What are
the five sections due to elevation ?
What are the results as to inhabi-
tants and their occupations
If YOU do not know all that, then
you do not really know Washington.
And you should. You may. Part 2
of the new extension geography
course of the State College of Wash
iugton covers all that ground. So you
can get it by mail. If you are a
school teacher or principal you can
not afford not to know it.
For the new ideal of geography
in the school room is that, like
Charity, it begins at home. And it
ends there, for after all ones under
standing of things at distance de-
ponds more or less on what one gets
from direct observation. Children
must be taught to see and under
stand common geographic phenomena
The school should thus be connected
with the community.
The new course covers a dozen
chief points: first, the function OF
geography and its place in the schoo
curriculum; then the geographic laws
and their application to Washington
home geography; the use of sym
bols; teaching technique; regiona
geography; the problem method; the
project; type studies and journey
geography: other recitation; types
standardized tests; and finally the
giving and scoring of standardized
tests.

FROST KEEPS GRIP ON GOLD
PIacers in Alaska That Are Only
Thawed to a Depth of About
Three Feet in Summer.

Certain Alaska gold placers lie In
ground that is permanently frozen, only
the surface being thawed to a depth of
two or three feet in the heart of SUM
mer. In this respect they resemble
the gold-bearing gravels of Siberia, and
the methods of working are similar.
Summer is the best time to prospect
for new leads, but excavation OF the
gravel from shafts and tunnels can be
as well carried on in winter. The
ground at the end of shaft is soft
ened by fire of wood and then attacked
with the pick. But, instead of break
ing under the blows, it mats together,
and this tendency renders gunpowder
and dynamite comparatively ineffective
in dealing with the frozen mass. With
any less powerful incentive than the
CLEAN of gold to spur on his human
antagonist the frost king would doubt
less win an easy victory in so desper-
ate a conflict.
