NEW YORK, September 12.-
Girls will be recognized by their

afternoon may be brunettes in the
evening or if red hair will be more
appropriate with the gown the hair
will have an auburn tinge.
These facts came to light at

Ears which were first covering 25

profiting by the expeffnece of the
pioneers in this field of education.
Both junior college and high

SCHOOL BUILDING
AT WIDE AWAKE
BURNS TO GROUND

According to word received here
today, the Wide Awake school sit
uated between Seeley and Imperial,

evenings storm. 1t is believed that
lightning was the cause of the
conflagration, as no other explana-
tion seems possible, and no one
was in the immediate vicinity at
the time. Passing motorist com
ing in on the highway noticed q
glow against the sky, but were un-
able to place the exact location.
1t is said that the building was
completely destroyed.
Arrangement for abandoning the

HALF BILLION
in j. S.-ILAND
TRADING 1923
Non-C Contiguous Lands
Want Factory and
Farm Products

Trade. of the United States with
its oncontiguous territory in the
Fiscal year 1923 exceeded half
billion dollars against a little more
than a quarter of billion in 1913
and less than hundred million
dollars in 1903.
By the term "non-contiguous
territory is of course meant
Alaska, Porto Rico, the Hawaiian
Islands, the Philippine Islands,
Guam, American Samoa, and the
Virgin Islands: Our trade with
this entire non-contiguous terri
tory has aggregated in the last
decade nearly $5,000,000,000, hav-
ing grown from $83,000,00O in
1903 to 1869, 100000 in 1918 and
$503, 100000 in 1923.
Our Imports Exceed
Taking up the details, the i'm
ports from the entire group in
cluding Alaska were in 1928 $780,
100000 and the exports to them
1901 100000, and in the entire
decade ending with 1923 the total
imports from the non-contiguous
territory was, $2,7S5, 100000 and the
exports thereto $1,921 100000. This
fact that the imports from our
non-contiguous territory always
exceed the exports thereto, is pri-
marily due, according to the Trade
Record of The National City Bank
of New York, to the fact that all
of the islands lying as they do in
the tropics are large producers of
the class of material which we
must import especially sugar, cof-
fee, manila, tropical fruits, vege-
table oils, and tobacco of a quality
differing from that produced in our
temperate zone climate. They in
turn take largely from us chiefly
in foods and manufactures but as
their population is limited, total
ing but about 100000 against
our own population of 110,000,00O
it is quite natural that our pur-
chases from them should be larger
than theirs from us. That they do
buy very largely from the United
States, however, is evidenced by the
fact that Porto Rico takes normally
over 80 percent of it's total imports
from the United States, Hawaii
about S5 percent and the Philippine
Islands about 63 percent
OF their total exports Porto
Rico sends about 90 percent direct
to the United States, Hawaii 96 per-
cent, and the Philippines about 80
percent. In the case Of Alaska
practically all of the trade is with
continental United States.
What They Send
All Of these island territories
show enormous increases in their
trade since they came under the
American flag.
What do these areas under the
American flag supply us and what
do they take in exchanged Porto
Rico sends us chiefly sugar, tropi-
cal fruits and tobacco; Hawaii
sugar, pineapples and coffee
the Philippines sugar, manila
hemp, tobacco, cocOnuts, coconut
oil; Alaska canned salmon, furs,
copper, and gold. In exchange
they take everything, foodstuffs
of all sorts, especially bread and
meat, manufactures of all kinds es-

ium is all finished, shining with

ers. The home economies building
is also practically a new structure.
The latter was rebuilt during the
summer from the old school build
ing to the west Of the present high
school which was the old cafeteria
and this year will house all sewing
and cooking classes.
The removal of the home econo-
mics department to the new build
ing will leave two more recitation
rooms available in the main build
ing. Four more rooms in the base
ment have been finished and plast
cred and for the present, two of
these will be used as lunch rooms
by students who do not go home at
noon.
To accommodate junior college
classes, considerable amount of
new science equipment has been
installed in the biology, physics and
chemistry laboratories this summer.
Full Equipment
The newly completed gymnasium
is conceded to be one of the finest
in the state outside metropolitan
cities. Few high schools in Cali
fornia can match it in convenience
and modernity of equipment. Com
pletely appointed locker and shower
rooms have been provided for both
girls and boys and there are offices
for both boys and girls instruct
Ors.
R. M. Armstrong will remain in
charge of the boys work and Miss
Evalena Baker is the new instructor
for the girls. Miss Baker was
graduated from accidental college
in Los Angeles and later took physi-
cal training work at the University
of Southern California, in the same
city. She was assistant in Occi-
dental gymnasium and has worked
in the physical training depart
ment of a Los Angeles high school.
Junior College Extended
This will be the first year that
the district has offered the second
year Of junior college work and a
large additional enrolment is ex-
pected here. Principal J. l.. House
stated today that he anticipates at
least 60 registrants in the freshmen
class of junior college and these new
students, together with those who
will take second year work, will
make the institution one to com
pare with other Southern California
junior colleges.
President f. F. Howard Of San
Diego State Teachers College has
written to Principal House to say
that he will lend his cooperation
toward securing credits for local
junior college students who wish
to complete their courses in the San
Diego normal school. The local
junior college courses will entirely
cover work necessary to admit their
graduates to the junior year Of
northern and eastern colleges. uni
