WAIVE BUDGET.
RULE To AID
SCHOOLS
D. c. Will Permit Officials to
Expend All of Summer
Appropriation.

The District Commissioners today
sanctioned an exception to their re-
cent ruling requiring the retention
of per cent of all appropriations
until the latter part Of the fiscal
year in the case of the summer
school appropriations.
Desiring to avoid the possibility
Of having appropriations expended
early in the year, the Commission
ers promulgated the per cent rul-
ing The rule requires that the
money be set aside when the APP
preparations are made.
A short while ago 1t became evil
dent that the ruling could not up
ply to the summer schools. These
schools, which open July 2 are
given $4,000 with which to oper-
ate for thirty school days. With s
per cent of this appropriation, or
81, 900 tied up until near the end
Of the fiscal year, the summer
school term would be cut to 1874
days, making a full course impos-
sible.
The Commissioners were asked to
waive the rule by the Board Of
Education. 1t is understood waiv-
-ers will be asked in other cases also.

Martial law in a city. Of the great
Southwest is what they don't need
nothin' else but.
A letter received at marine corps
headquarters told Of the unrestrained
activities Of bootleggers in the town,
and requested "a few marines to
come down here and clean the place
up"
The marine corps is unable to act
In this case, but the tribute implied
I'm the request is flattering. Re-
1erring to the rum-runners, the letter
says:
These birds run around withou:
any license in cars for months. Also,
the John Laws uphold all the boot
leggers OF this city. If the marines
can't look into this, I will go as far
as the secret service. I am not
employed anywhere-just residing
here"
The name of the town was not
revealed, to prevent embarrassment

Something to
Think Ab0ut
NATURAL CONFUSION
By r. n. WALKER

FORTUNATE indeed is the man or
: woman. who has succeeded by pa
tient effort in overcoming his or her
natural compulsion. We all have with
in our breast this compelling force,
striving at every crucial moment of our
life to obtain mastery over our intel
lect and reason.
In times of stress, when confronted
by serious problems, or. when passion
takes sudden possession of us and tenn
porarily dwarfs our sense of iudg-
ment, we become aware of our weak
ness-our inclination to be controlled
by impulse rather than by well-weight-
ed thought or clearly defined purpose.
To put it In everyday vernacular
we lose our heads and rush pell nell
into the waiting arms of trouble, new
er thinking Of the disastrous conse-
quences that may follow.
Sometimes the brute instinct over
comes US. sweeps us away from our
spiritual mornings and carries us out
to sea.
When the weather clears we realize
our predicament. We wish thousand
times that we had kept cool, been more
circumspect in the choosing of words
and the exhibition of an ugly DISPOSE
ton.
But being repentant never quite re-
stores us to the old place we occupied
In the estimation of our friends and
associates.
The previous intimacies and conf
dences are broken beyond perfect res
toration. They may be cemented to-
gether as are the severed pieces of a
priceless vase, but the scars are sure
to remain.
Reconciliations after quarrels fail to
bring back the old faith in one another.
In spite of the manifestations of sor-

ROMANCE OF WORDS
asub Rosa"

MEANING literally under
49, the rose" this synonym
for secrecy or confidence dates
back to ATT b. c., when Pau
sanias, commander of the Spar
tan and Athenian feet, was en-
gagged in conspiracy with Xerxes
to betray Greece to the Persians-
The meetings were conducted in
building connected with the
Temple of Minerva and called
the s'Brazen House" Because
the roof of this building was
covered with roses, the intrigue
was literally carried on ''under
the rose"
Pausanias, however, was be-
trayed by one of his men and,
to escape arrest, he fled to the
Temple Of Minerva. The crowd,
fearing to violate the sanctity Of
the temple. walled up the en-
trance and left Pausanias to die
Of starvation In the very place
where he had been guilty OF
treachery. 1t later became q
custom among the Athenians to
wear a rose when they had a
confidential communication to
make, and the flower also APP
peared on the ceilings Of ban
quet halls to remind the guests
that what was spoken there was
in confidence. The same prac-
tice was common among the an
cient Germans and. In the Six
teenth century, It was usual to
see rose placed over the con-
fessionals in Roman Catholic
churches.
