SITE Of WESTERN
ANNEX DEBATED
School Board Defers Its De-
cision Upon Front or Rear
Addition.

The board of education yesterday
afternoon steered clear of the i'm
pending controversy over the loca-
tion of the addition to Western High
School by deferring its approval of
either of the two proposed plans
one recommending the construction
of the new building in front of the
present structure and the other in the
rear. 1t is the intention of the board,
however, to commit itself. but it was
made clear that action will be taken
only after a careful analysis of both
plans.
Communications from the District
Engineer Commissioner and the Com
mission of Fine Arts outlining the ad-
vantages of each plan precipiat ID
the discussion. The Engineer Com
missioner favored placing the addi-
ton in front of the present building.
pointing out that this plan would
give classroom space 80 per cent more
value. The Fine Arts Commission, on
the othter hand, contended that by
constructing the addition in the rear
the beautiful landscape of which
Western boasts would be preserved.
Awaits Board Action.
The Engineer Commissioner assured
the board that actual construction
of the annex would not be undertaken
until the board had expressed itself.
The indication was given that the
engineer department is taking a
strictly utilitarian view. The Engineer
Commissioners letter said:
The question to be decided Is:
Shall the District of Columbia change
it's policy, as evidenced by the conserv-
ative setting Of Eastern High School,
or shall it start with, Western High
School and in the future sacrifice
school facilities for landscape settings
of debatable extravaganza?
1t was pointed out in the letter
that while the gymnasiums for boys
and girls would be provided in the rear
location, a much better one for boys
could be built in the front addition.
The auditorium would be about
equal" in either case, although the
monumental entrance provided by
the front scheme would be much more
satisfactory than the casual entrance
that would be necessitated if:the new
construction were carried out at the
rear.

ny FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

There is deeper significance than
appears on the surface in the arrival
of European cotton trade rep
presentativcs for conference with
the Department of Agriculture. The
British are disturbed over what
strikes them as an attempt to trans
fer control of the worlds cotton mar
l<et from Liverpool to Washington.
4 situation not unlike that created
Ey the Supreme Courts ruling re-
garding liquor on foreign ships has
arisen. In that case. Europe sees an
American attempt 10 regulate its
morals. In the cotton standards con-
troversy, Great Britain and France
discern an effort to supervise their
textile industry. They are frankly
afraid they'll get no further with
the cotton affair than with the liquor
business. The United States in both
Instances takes it's stand on acts of
Congress, which are mandatory in
character and admit of no moditlca-
ton at foreign behest.
Britain Mainly Concerned.
1t is Great Britain which is mainly
concerned Liverpool is not only
the greatest importer of American
cotton. but the center from which
world cotton prices are fixed. Toward
the end of the sixty seventh Congress
law was passed which failed to
arouse much interest. although it af-
fects vitally the commodity which
ranks foremost in Americas export
trade.
Under this law it is illegal for any
body to buy. sell. quote or enter into
any cotton transaction unless the
grades or description correspond to
those established by the Secretary of
Agriculture under the act. If disa-
greement arises between the Ameri-
can shipper and the foreign buyer
about the grade or quality of the
cotton, the American exporter can
appeal to the Secretary of Agricul-
ture for certificate. This certificate
officially establishes the classifca
tion and is the final evidence neces-
sary in American courts to determine
the cotton's grade.
The feature in the new procedure
which irks the British is that il does
away with the arbitration system

PLAN TO PUT 1000
ACRES IN COTTON
INSTEAD OF TRUCK
Experiments Lead to the Be-
lief That Staple
Will Pay.

Ia--;. lamps, Feb. 1O.-Accordins
to John Newell. Of the +. m of Smith,
Newell and Bishop, of is place, 1000
acres of cotton will be l,.anted on their
ranch during the coming season as the
result of several experimental acres
planted last fall and now in full bloom.
The tests were made with an idea
of checking the sdaptability of the soil !;
the proper season; necessary fCrtiliza-
ton, and proper protection to be taken
against boil weevils.
This year, the company has been
very successful with tomatoes, and is
still shipping to the Chicago market.
One hundred and two acres OF onions
are growing and it is anticipated that
they can be shipped to the New York
market to arrive not less than three
weeks before Texas earliest crop. De-
spite the success with these two vege-
tables, Smith. Newell and Bishop will
not replant but devote their energies
TO cotton. for which there is a ready
market in the republic. Mexico is
growing not more than 10000 bales of
cotton yearly and importing 10000
bales. 1t is thought that land at
Manuel will be good for n bale an acre
and if successful in keeping out the
boil weevil. it is the intention to plant
1000 acres in 1924
