DIPLOMAS AWARDED
q AT NORMAL SCHOOL
Wilson Graduates Given ASSIGN.
ments to Begin Teaching
{ February I.

Diplomas were awarded to twenty
three pupils who comprised the grad
uating class Of the Wilson Normal
School, 11th and Harvard streets, at
tho commencement exercises at the
school last night.
The graduates have been assigned to
schools and will begin teaching Feb
ruary /.
In making the awards to the grad
uates. Alexander T. Stuart, director of
intermediate instruction In the District
schools spoke of the problems that con-
front those who enter the complexities
of the modern teaching profession. He
especially stressed the impossibility of
teachers giving the individual instruc-
tion necessary when they have to handle
class units of fifty. This number, he
said, should be reduced to thirty or
even to twenty-four.
Question OF Salary.
Mr.. Stuart told the audience that
at the present time the salaries paid
to those just starting in their pro-
fcssion were all right, but that after
ten or twenty years service the rec
ompense teacher received was not
sufficient.
Miss sabra Amelia Harry, president
of the graduating class, delivered an
address in which she expressed for
the class their regret at leaving the
school.
A musical program was provided
by the school gIee club, under the di
rection of Miss B. D. Randall, and
vocal solos by Miss Wynema Jane

BALL DEFENDS ACTION

The report of the District Commits
SionerS in reply to n resolution
adopted by the Senate calling for in
formation as to how many passenger
automobiles are operated by the Dis
trict government for officials and
employees was called to the attention
OF the Senate yesterday afternoon by
Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee. He has
been conducting a fight to eliminate
mobiles.
Il wish to call attention to the
large number of policemen that are
being given automobiles by the city
government" said Senator Mcclellan.
1T appears that seventeen privates
Of the police department are receiv-
ing allowances from the District gov
ernment for the upkeep of their au-
tomobiles.
Street Car Rides.
Some one wanted to know, the
other day. how the police can get
around Washington. Congress passed
law requiring the street railways
OF the city to transport free Of
uniform and on duty. Is 1t possible
that they cannot get around on free
street cars? Upon what theory can
1t be claimed we should furnish auto
mobiles for privates in the police
force to get around?"
Senator Ball, chairman of the Dis
trtct committee, answering Senator
Mckellar. said that he could easily
see why the police would need auto
mobiles to get to certain parts of the
city He said that, as a general
principle. the committee in charge
been opposed to the government Civ
ing allowances for the upkeep of
private automobiles. However, it
would have added a considerable
amount to the appropriation bill IL the
District government had undertaken
of making these allowances, he said.
Used by Police.
Senator McKellar said he found from
thirty-seven automobiles, which were
used by the police department.
Senator Ball said he was convinced
that a certain number of automobiles
and motor cycles were necessary for
the police if they ever were to arrest
I2wbreakerS.
IF they try to ride in street cars
they would never catch up with the
CRIMINALS, said Senator Ball.
Senator Fletcher of Florida pointed
out that there used to be a number of
policemen mounted on horses and said
that now perhaps the automobiles were
taking the place of the mounted police.
Wants to Know why.
Senator Mckellar wanted to know
why only seventeen privates should
be provided with autos.
want to protest for the others
who don't have them" he said. What
a ridiculous position we have reached
in this matter of furnishing automo-
blies to government employees. 1t
appears that 1t costs the District
S216.O00 for the upkeep of passenger
automobiles in one year, which are
supplied to District officials and en-
ployeS. If we should furnish auto
mobiles to senators and representa-
tives, as We have to the employees Of
this city, the people would turn
three-quarters of us out of office"

MAY DELAY CHANGE
OF TROLLEY TRACKS
Commissioners Proposal to
End N. Y. Ave. and 18th st.
Jam May Wait 4 Years.

Ihree or four years may elapse be-
fore the rearrangement of downtown
street car tracks, discussed by tho
commissioners yesterday. is carried
out. The purpose in postponing the
work is to avoid the financial loss
that would result from taking up
rails that have not worn out.
commissioners Rudolph and Oyster
agree with Engineer Commissioner
Keller that a better track scheme In
the vicinity of 18th street and New
YORK avenue is timely question for
consideration. Briefly, this Is the
plan being given frs, thought:
Have the Capital Traction Com
pany build new tracks on l street
from 18th to 18th streets and on
10Th street from I street to New
York avenue. Connect the Wash
ington Railway and Electric tracks
now ending at 18th and New York
avenue with the tracks of the Capital
traction Company going west from
the Treasury.
Capt. Klotz. traffic engineer Of the
Public Utilities Commission has esti-
mated that it would cost the Wash
pany $4,000 and the Capital Traction
Company approximately S160,000 to
make the changes.
In concluding his report to the
commission Capt. Klotz said:
These estimates are based on the
fact that the renewal of existing un-
foreground tracks costs approximately
the same as new construction. The
present tracks of the Capital Traction
Company which would be involved
are in good condition, while those OF
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company are rapidly approaching the
time when they will require renewal.
In view of the rather large invest
ment made therein, 1t would seem ad-
visable to select as the keynote Of the
situation the present special switch
work at 18th and New York avenue
and to plan the proposed change con-
temporaneously with the demise OF
that special work. The latter can
not be Expected to survive beyond
1927 and 1t will be reasonably possi-
BILE for the remainder of the work
involved to be kept in operating con-
dition until that time"

IDAHO GAS TAX WILL
NET STATE HUGE SUM

The 2-cent per gallon gasoline tax
enacted into law by the legislature
at its session will go into effect soon
after April 1, and thereafter auto
owners will have the additional cents
per gallon tackled onto their gas bill
The proceeds from the gas tax will
go into the state highway fund for the
construction or maintenance of roads
IN the state. The commissioners of
public works has charge of the distri-
button of the fund and may use the
money in any part of the state he
deems advisable. Many members of
the legislature thought the new law
should provide for percentage of the
funds thus raised to revert to the
county from which raised, but efforts
to amend the original bill including
this provision failed to pass.
