PLAN TO RAISE FUNDS
Building Program for Texas Univer-
sity Assumes Shape.

Austin, Tex. March 15.-Plans for
financing n building program for the
University of Texas are well under
way as result of another joint meet
ing held Wednesday afternoon by the
legislative committee appointed for
that purpose with the Board of Re
gents of the university.
This legislative committee was APP
pointed to investigate the proposed
S2,J00.000 loan offered by a Kansas
financial institution. The nature of
the plans now being developed was
not disclosed. although members of
the committee stated such plans are
to be worked out during the next two
or three weeks.
New plans for financing the build
ing program may result in abandon
ment of the proposed loan entirely,
according to a member of the commit
tee. 1t was also disclosed that two
other courses are under consideration
to annul the recent tentative loan
and obtain competitive bids, and To
require the bonding firm TO reduce
the rate of interest below 6 per cent
as proposed
Further conferences are to be held
by the committee with the regents.
1t is understood certain San An
tonic banks have proposed to the re
gents and committee to finance thu
building program to the extent oi
S3.0OO.0 900 O. more at rate OF inter
est below per cent.

Inspection of Federal Offices.

An inspection of government. build
ings in the District is being made by
the public health service, under au.
thority of an order of President Taft
issued i'll 1912, enforcement of which
was interrupted by the confusion OF
the war. The buildings of one depart
ment-the Treasury-have already
been gone through by the inspectors,
and the buildings of two departments.
War and Navy, do, not fall within the
scope of the. Taft order because, they
have their own medical or sanitary
star. The result of the inspection
will be read with interest, and the re-
port will probably give something OF
an urge to several of the departments
in their effort to secure new buildings.
In private buildings certain sani-
tary standards are insisted on by pub
lie health authorities, and the govern.
ment should see that its own work
shops have all the health safeguards
which are demanded of private plants.
1t has been found many times by Off
cials Of various departments that the
buildings occupied by them are un.

Sets Good Example
By Arresting Barber

1t is possible to wax humorous
over the action of a man in New
York who took a barber into court
on q charge of the larceny of 10
cents, but there is a side to the act
which most Americans might take
pattern by with profit and to their
own increased self-respect.
The complainant was an intermit-
tent Upper and when he got a thirty
cent check for a shave instead of the
usual twenty. he said to the barber.
How Gomez" or words of similar
import. Then. he told the magistrate.
the barber admitted, fearing the day
might be an intermittent one on the
customers tipping calendar. he add
ed his usual honorarium of a dime
to the price of the check. The Gus
tcmer further told the Judge" he
didn't propose to submit to that kind
of robbery" The magistrate con-
tinued the case while he pondered
the charge.
The customer did the right thing, IL
his charge is truly founded. The
average man is either too .timid to
rebuke CRATER for fear he will
be thought a cheap skate" or he
finds 1t is easier to pay than to make
a row. He is wrong, and the conse-
quence is that the tip-seekers prac-
tice a kind of terrorization. The
New York man deserves admiration
for his nerve and Willingness to put
himself to lot of trouble.-Philadel-

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
For a Starter.

For a Starter.
Amid the problems of the world
We have to pause and ponder
Lest something hits us and were
whirled ...-
Too suddenly Up ,Yonder.
We seek to bring about. the day
OF quietude seraphic; r.
But first we've got to find a way -.
To regulate the traffic.
Though we are not in present strife
Where waves of flame are tossing,
There's still chance to lose your life
At any railroad crossing.
A world peace must be ours. we vow,
In glarious phrase so graphic
And as a starter we1l learn how
To regulate the traffic.
The battle bugles do not blow;
But auto horns resounding
Both day and night let people know
That danger Is abounding.
The public mind is too much bent
On matters epitaphic.
Let's gather round with one consent
And regulate the traffic.

Better News.

Better news following grave tidings
comes from the Presidents sick bed
at San Francisco. The overnight re-
ports regarding his. condition were
most disquieting and distressing. De-
velopment of symptoms of pneumonia
.eaused a shock to the country and
for the first time since the beginning
of the Presidents indisposition it was
realized that there was danger. But
long, refreshing sleep came and this
morning the good news was received
that Mr.. Harding had awakened from
that slumber much refreshed and that
he Immediately expressed wish to
see a newspaper, which may be ac-
cepted as sign of hope.
Though it has apparently developed
very quickly, the Presidents illness
really seems to have had its origin
in Alaska some days ago. Photo
graphs taken of him in the far-north
territory and just received in this sec
stion of the country show signs of
fatigue and care and strain. He had
undergone a difficult journey, despite
all the comforts of the best possible
accommodations; had spoken frequent
ly in the open air, as well as within
doors, to great audiences; had met
multitudes of the people and, although
Mr.. Harding has an exceptional ease of
manner and contact, the experience
undoubtedly imposed a severe drain
upon his energies.
With the best of medical attention
and the most careful nursing and with
a complete remission from all official
cares, the President, blessed with
sturdy constitution, has the fullest
chance of early recovery. He will be
cheered and strengthened in spirit and
possibly in body by the knowledge,
given by immediate expressions of the
sincerest sympathy in all quarters of
the country, that the American people
are praying for his prompt restoration
to health and to service as the Chief
Executive of the nation.

suitable for the work carried ON and
that there is loss of time, lack of eff
cheney and waste of public money be-
cause of scattered bureaus, divisions
and offices, some Of which are housed
in rented quarters. BY all the recon-
mendations they have been able to
make the department heads have
sought to remedy this.
The sanitary inspection will prob
ably, find overcrowding and lack. of
light and ventilation In a number Of
government Offices, for these points
have been brought out many times by
the departments themselves. There Is
a slow shaping up of a purpose to
give the government at Washington
the buildings it needs, and there has
been much talk since the war Of a
building program" How soon an
adequate and satisfactory building
program may be entered on Is some.
thing that no man can tell.
In certain way. in spite Of what
a ppears to be rather widespread pros
perity. we'have fallen upon evil times.
The demand for money for many
kinds of public improvements is ur-
gent. The number of big and costly
projects pressing for execution is
large. 1t is hard to make great re-
ductions in government expenditures
except by pairing down the cost of
services which we have come to re-
gard and which we believe to be es.
sential. Government revenues, so far
from increasing. seem to be slumping.
according to a current statement by
the director of the budget. And while
the government income diminishes
there is a clamor for reduction in
taxes. But things will come out all
right in the end.
