FROM EXTENDING TRACKS
Citizens Protest Bill Giving Right
to Railroad Occupancy of
Ground in Northeast.

Members of the Central Citizens
Association are planning a city-wide
campaign of protest against the pro-
posed extension of railroad tracks by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany into the squares of ground east
of North Capitol street, lying between
street and N street.
President Thomas J. Donovan in
tends to take up the matter with the
Board of Trade, the Chamber of
Commerce and kindred organizations
to secure their support in opposing
a bill providing for the extension,
which passed the Senate, April g.
and was referred to the House Dis
trict committee on the 4th.
MIR. Donovan declares that the
tracks, if extended, would deprive
$50 residents of homes, would dis
turb occupants of Sibley Hospital
and the Lucy Webb Hayes National
Training School for Deaconesses,
Missionaries and Nurses; would neces-
state closing up of the North Capitol
Methodist Episcopal Church, and of
the Sisters of Notre Dame, and would
interfere with the education Of chill
dren at st. Aloysius School and the
Blake public school.
The executive committee of the CEN
trail association will meet tomorrow
night at the home of President Dono-
van to take formal action regarding
the campaign of protest.

Wide Campaign.

Washington public school officials and
those in other sections of the country
are being enlisted in a nation wide cam
paign for better eyesight which is being
conducted by the Eyesight Conservation
Council of America. The organization
recently had the eyes of 1000 900 pupils
in the schools of New York examined
and the beneficial results led to the
initiation of the nation wide campaign
for improved vision.
Eye conservation is being carried
into schools and industries of New
York and other states as a part of the
national movement by the Eyesight
Conservation Council of America to
protect the health of Americas mil
lions of school children and industrial
workers. Guy A. Henry. general di-
rector of the council. said yesterday.
This movement is lagely the outcome
of revelations of huge waste through
defective vision made by Herbert
Hoover's committee on elimination of

TEST OF APPLICANTS
FOR FOST OF INSTRUCTOR
Examination Tomorrow for Teach
erships in D. c. Senior and
Junior High Schools.

More than 100 persons are expected
to take an examination tomorrow for
teaching positions in the senior and
junior high school. it was said today
by public school officials. Applica-
tfons have been received from sew
eral hundred persons, many of whom

officials do not expect all of them to
make their appearance when the ex-
animation is held.
1t was pointed out that there is no
immediate need for teachers in the
senior or junior high schools and the
examination will be held for the pri-
mary purpose of creating a list of
teachers who will be eligible for ap-
pcintment at the beginning of the
next scholastic year In September.
The names of the successful candi-
dates in the examination. arranged
in the order of rank. will constitute
the eligible list and the appointments
will be made therefrom in the order
of their rank as vacancies occur in
/, the position for which the candidates
have respectively qualified.
Many of the applicants for the posi-
tions are government employees who
have been laid off. or who are afraid
that their present positions are in
secure. Other applications have come
from temporary teachers now in the
school system who are desirous of
qualifying for permanent positions.

The Washington National Monument
Association announced today that a

zona, North Dakota, Idaho and New

Monument when the South Dakota stone
is installed. The date for the dedication
has not been decided upon. but it was
said that probably April so, the anniver-
sary of Washingtons Inauguration,
would be selected.
In accordance with a custom estab-
lished when the Monument was dedicat-
ed. February 21, 1885, every state slab
sealed into position in the interior Of the

HIGHEST COURT RULING.

Manufacturers cannot enforce con-
tracts under which dealers had
agreed exclusively to handle their
copyrighted products. the United
States Supreme Court yesterday held in
a case brought by the Standard
Fashion Company against the Ma
Crane Houston Company of Boston.
The issues involved were similar in
vital respects to those presented in
the United Shoe Machinery case. In
the latter control was exercised. the
government contended, through
leases based on patents, while in the
Standard Fashion case the control,
it was asserted, was attempted by
contracts involving copyrighted ar
ticles. In both cases the lower fed
eral courts held the practices COM
planned of to be in violation of Sec
tion of the Clayton act on the
ground that the effect May be sub
stantially to lessen competition or

Events got out of hand and Lin
coin 500 found himself in a posi-
ton where he was faced with the
alternative of either recalling his
ultimatum or of declaring war. He
did not deliberately and personally
conceive the war and he was thrown
into the depths of misery when his
own policies bore fruit in violence
He would have undoubtedly sub
mitted to any personal sacrifices
that might have averted the con-
flict.
The Confederate veterans wish
to keep the records straight. They
do not wish to be cas- by the his
torisns in the role of the instigat-
ors of the war. This is a COM
mendable desire and is in happy
accord with the facts. But in their
resentment of historical i~naccura-
cies, they should not allow them
selves to be carried to the other
extreme and should not take the
position that Lincoln deliberately
and personally conceived the war"
No school histories in France or
Germany, or. indeed, in the other
belligerent countries engaged in the
late World war have been adopted
because there is such a grave dit
ference in these countries as to
what is the truth about the war
and the causes Of it. The verdict
of history about the part of Abra-
ham Lincoln in the Civil war has
been written, and it will stand in
spite of all assaults. 1t may not
be the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, but it is as
near the truth as we will ever get.
If we had assurance that all other
historical facts were as near the
truth as Li7coin's part in the war
we would have more confidence in
the verdict of history than we now
have.
