: FOR OTHER WORK

Bids for improving the acousti
properties of the auditorium Of tn
High school and for repairs to vari
oqs schools were received by th'
Board of Public Education at its ses
sion yesterday afternoon. The meet
ing was so enlivened by debate be-
tween representatives of makers OF
acoustic properties that il became
ieeessary for President Ellwood Sou
der to call their attention to the inn
propriety of the debate.
They were two bidders on acousti-
ca1 Installation, the H. W. Johns
Evansville Company and the Mazer
Acoustic Company. The difference in
titr character OF the two bids resulted
in postponement of the awarding
of the contract until the business
manager and president OF the board
determine which of the bids is actu-
ally the lowest. They were given
power to award the contract.
The II. W. Johns Mansville Com
pany submitted two bids, one in ac-
cofdance with the specifications
calling for the covering of 1900 feet
Of surface. s37S7; the other, with
their own material. sS240. The
Mazer Acoustic Companys bids were
$3.50 and sS49O. the former on a
patented material.
The only bidders on the fire alarm
system for the High School annex
and No. Is School was the Came
well Company. Their bid was S24S6 I
foe the High School and s1195 for
Nd. 16 School, f. o. b. Upper Falls,
Mass The bid was referred to the
president and business manager
with power to award the contract.
The board will probably accept
the estimate Of Janvier and Hance
for door checks, at their figure Of
s5as.
The order for lumber will be dis
tributed between four local bidders,
each of whom submitted the same
price per thousand feet.
Bids for painting the various
school buildings were awarded as

LOST NIGHTS SLEEP
GETTING TO COURT

When Harry Braunstein, a sales
man, was given a hearing on a
charge of exceeding the speed limit
in Municipal Court this morning. he
said that he lost last nights sleep
because OF the complete breaking
down OF his automobile on the road
between here and Newark in order
to be able to be in court on time. 1t
was after he had been arrested that
his car gave out on him.
Assistant City Solicitor Green re-
marked that evidently Braunstein
had suffered considerably, but
Deputy Judge Lynn imposed fine of
$40 and costs on him.

wanted to keep himself before the
public notice. With that idea in
view, he bought a large steam
whistle which had formerly been
used on an ocean liner and installed
it in his tugboat. One day as he
was coming up the creek with his
tugboat toward Third street bridge,
the captain blew several long and
loud blasts with his whistle. with the
result that he used up all his steam
and hoated down the stream with
the tide. That's just the way with

HIS INCOME-TAX TROUBLES.

President Harding, after struggling
for two strenuous hours with his IN
come tax return, Is reported to have
said that he wouldn't be surprised
il IL comes back for correction" His
fears win appear 10 millions Of his
fellow citizens to he well grounded.

that however elusive and battling an

President Harding. however. has
given various evidences that ne does
not love \ fight. He has fought at
times during his year IN the Prcsi-
dency. and has not hcsitated to go be-
fore Congress and tell tho members
what no wanted them to do. But a
little OF this kind OF warfare evidently
goes long way with him. and no has
shown IN this instance that ne would
rather go away on pleasure trip
than stay at home and fight with his
party In Congress.
The President, however, may justify
himself by the popular maxim: "He
who Nights and runs away may live
to fight another day" And there is
little doubt he will have many days

THE PART OF DISCRETION.

While the House Of Representatives
is wrestling with the bonus PROPOSE
ton. evidently bent on doing what
the President does not want It to do,
and the Senate Is wrestling with the
Four Power Treaty. with strong in
timations Of doing what the President
does not want It to do. the President
is enjoying himself in Florida, spe-
cial guest OF his wealthy Washington
friend, Mr.. Edward Mclean. With a
richly furnished houseboat as living
quarters, and plenty OF golf and fish
ing to furnish exciting amusement
and aid in taking off superfuous flesh,
President Harding will enjoy himself
while Congress wrangles.
or course President Harding has a
right to take vacation, but It is GER
tain he Will be somewhat severely
criticised. by friends and enemies, for
going on a recreation trip at this par
ticular time. His enemies will COM
pare him with the commander Of an
army who runs away at the most
critical period of a decisive battle, and
some OF his. personal friends may in
cline to the same opinion.
