semester by marks indicating their
efficiency in scholarship, drill, mill
tary activities and department At
tendance and punctuality at drill will
be checked strictly. The general aver
age will be reduced by absence and
tardiness; unexcused absences will
cost a pupil double time and unex-
cused tardiness a half days absence.
Marks thus lost will be recoverable
through -ns allowed for special
activities, such 49, INNER camp at
tendance, membership in winning
companies or war game teams and
other outstanding meritorious serv-
ice.

That cooks were necessary;

Was vague and foggy, very,
But now that l am older grown,
With four expensive kiddies.
Ny wife and 1 oft do our own
Without the help of biddies.
At first this menial labor irked
My soul beyond all measure,
But gradually. as 1 worked,
The job became a pleasure,
And when I'd done some difficult
Utensil, like fry-pan,
Vain-gloriously I'd eXult
And say, Look, dear, at my pam"
All, blessed sink and kindly drain.
In which we've learned to capture
The old companionshfp again,
With all it's tender rapture,
While DER our soapy hands and heads
The kids sleep calmly through it,
Unconscious, in their snowy beds,
That they are why we do it.

AUDITING RESERVOIR
Commissioners Foresee Need of
Added Area for Schools

The Commissioners today revealed
the fact that they are preparing a
plan for the purchase Of large area
of ground around the Fort Reno res
ervoir for the extension Of the reser-
voir, the erection of public schools
and the laying off Of a park and play
ground.
They made known their intentions
in reporting to the Senate District
committee on pending bill for the
extension and widening Of Albemarle,
Davenport and 3eth streets. They told
the Senate committee that the ground
around the reservoir is either under
developed or occupied by houses of
poor quality.
This settlement, they say, grew up
in a haphazard manner along narrow
streets which cannot be made q part
OF the highway plan In a satisfactory
way.
the widening of the streets mentioned
would not conform to the proposed
development and they ask that no ac-
tion be taken pending the preparation
OF a more elaborate plan.
They point out that the surround
ing territory will develop rapidly and
that within, q few years provision
will have to be made for schools and
playground facilities and that the
Reno reservoir will have to be en-
larged.

IN TAxICAB Theft
Believed to Have Been Deceived
as to True Nature of Their

Beadle and by order of Mai Gen.

Although Marine Corps officers an
nounced yesterday that they were
satisfied the Devil Dogs" had been
deceived as to the true nature OF
their employment by Burns' detec-
tives and that no summary punish
rnent would be meted out by the
Marine Corps. Gen. Lejeune decided
late in the evening that a thorough
probe should be conducted to entirely
clear the reputation of the corps
from any stigma.
Mai Beadle, as assistant adjutant
inspector, was ordered to conduct the
inquiry alone and report direct to
the commandant. He expected to
complete his inquiry today, and Of

derstood his Information thus far has
confirmed the earlier exoneration ac-
corded the marines.
