HIGH SCHOOLS GET
l,39DMORE PUPILS
Numerous Promotions Made
With Opening of the Sec
0nd Semester.

Uncermonfously the second semes-
ter of the 1921-1922 scholastic year
in the District public schools was
ushered in today by the promotion of
thousands of children to higher
grades.
One thousand three hundred and
ninety eighth-grade pupils went into
the already crowded high schools, re-
sulting in greater congestion in these
institutions than ever before. OF this
number 1923 were white pupils.
central High School, taxed beyond
capacity for several years, enrolled
the largest number Of the pupils pro-
NOTED from the eighth grade of the
elementary schools. According to
figures compiled by school officials
297 graduates from the graded
schools were entered at Central.
Iech High School was next, with
Z42 elghth-grade graduates. and Busi-
ness third with 223. Eastern enrolled
1tl freshmen and Western 100.
Several days will elapse before ac-
commodat1ons can be provided in the
hlgh schools for the freshmen, and
IN most instances they were excused
from school today and told to report
tomorrow. To accommodate the over
flow school officials hare decided to
place the new high school students
IN part-time classes operating in the
afternoon.
High School Popularity.
Discussing the congestion in the
high schools, authorities emphasized
mat Washington is strictly a high
school city. They pointed out that
between Is and II per cent of the
school population of the National
Capital is in the high schools, while
IN other cities the number of pupils
in the senior institutions is between
and per cent of the entire school
enrolment
Every parent in Washington who
has a child in the public schools"
said an official. Strives to give him
high school education. This ac-
counts for the large percentage of
the high school enrolment as COM
pared with the graded schools"
How many new pupils were en-
rolled in the elementary schools to-
day officials were not able to ascer-
tain. 1t will be several days before
the supervising principals turn in
their reports to the officials and until
then the latter will be unable to
compile new enrolment figures
The increase in enrolment in the
high schools will necessitate the ap-
pointment of between twelve and ff-
teen additional teachers. The ap-
pointments will be made today and
submitted to the board of education
for approval at it's meeting this aft
ernoon at the Franklin School.

The present treaty shall be rati-

watched with interest. The effect OF
this Shantung settlement upon the re-
union movement which Gen. WI Pet
fu is leading in China is problematical.
Certainly capital for disunion will be
made Of the issue by the south China
party. Washington is naturally more
interested to know what the influence
OF the decision, as Of the whole con-
ference, will be in the western states,
where Japan has few friends
Possible War Cause Removed
Probably the average hard-headed
American who takes the trouble to read
any full summary Of the terms Of the
Shantung settlement will declare that the
compromise is reasonable; for while ia
pan has saved her face, China has saved
her province and her railway. What
is more important a grave and trouble
some question has been removed from
the list Of possible causes of war in the
far east. The way of peace has won.
This Washington conference has been
the means of settling the Shantung
question, which proved too hard for
Versailles, and which also, was a factor
in keeping America out Of the league
of nations.

MATERIAL HINTS
IN BUYING AUTO
Ten important Points Should Be
Given Full Consideration Be-
fore Making Purchase.
ECONOMY is MOST ESSENTIAL
Power to Go Anywhere at Any Time
Is Desirable as Well as Safety
and Convenience - Comfort
Must Not Be Overlooked.

A most important investment is the
purchase of mOtorcar If the pros
pective buyer is to get the most out of
his investment it is necessary that he
be grounded in the essentials of motor
car knowledge beforehand
Ten Big Points.
There are ten important points that
the purchaser should consider care
fully before making his selection. They
are ID economy, (2) power and fiexi-
bility, 90 durability, az comfort, go
safety, (6) convenience, 10 easy rid
Ing, (9) beauty, (1O) style.
1t would be a safe plan if these
points were studied in the order
named
Economy heads the list because it
is the important question of the times.
Buy car having an economical rec
ord, one which will give you a maxi
mum amount of mileage for each gal
type of motor, the bearings, lubrica-
ton and weight.
Power is the next important essen
tial to be considered. You do not want
to be bounded by any limitations in
this respect. You desire to be able to
go anywhere and at any time, and for
this reason you want power in your
automobile.
An asset which we all seek i'm buy
ing motOrcar is durability. When
one considers the amount involved in
the investment this is very important.
This feature of car depends upon the
character of it's maker; his honesty,
his wholesome ideals, his standards,
his long experience and his successes
in the automotive industry. His car
is usually as durable as his record.
Make Motoring Enjoyable.
Convenience and comfort must not
be passed by lightly. Purchase a car
which affords those little cOnveniences
which make motoring really enjoyable
and free from care.
Follow these rules of selection and
the car you eventually purchase will
be just a real good one for your pur.
pose.

PROPER MANAGEMENT OF CAR
Running Expenses May Be Reduced
by Making Stops Gradually
Also Start Slowly.

When making a stop, close the throt-
tie and withdraw the clutch at
distance from the stop, allowing the
momentum to carry the car forward
until very slight pressure on the
brake brings it to a standstill. Con-
stantly practiced, this little saving will
subtract a nice margin from the run
ming expenses. In accelerating, do so
gradually, as the engine then uses the
entire quantity of fuel fed it, whereas
in quick acceleration it gets more than
it can employ for the moment.-Farm
Life.

Finger Extension

Where the fingers cannot reach, a
tool with jaw clamps will. This is
pencil-shaped instrument with a rod
running through it holding four jaws
at one end At the other end spring
is compressed, which forces out the
jaws. When the jaws are placed over
the inaccessible nut or bolt the spring
is released and the jaws take a firm
hold.

WHY BATTERY BECOMES WEAK
Drop in Voltage Occurs When Plates
Have Absorbed Solution, Re-
tardinq Acid.

The drop in voltage or the dis
charged condition OF a storage battery
occurs when plates within the battery
have absorbed the acid in the battery
solution. When a battery is discharg-
ing this acid goes into the plates and
forms a compound of acid and lead,
called lead sulphate. 1t is when this
sulphate fills up the pores of the
plates, retarding the acid in it's circu-
lation into the plates that the battery
becomes weak.
