UNCLE SAM IS MAKING
MONEY ON PASSPORTS
Average Above 1000 a Day Dur
ing May, June and July, Re-
turning $40 Each.

The passport business has been Il
iourishing one for Uncle Sam this
Summer. 1t has strengthened the
claim of attaches of the division of
passport control of the State Depart
ment that theirs is the Cne unit of the
department that more than pays for
itself. During the months of May.
June and July passport applications
averaged between 1900 and 1.4OO a
day. Figures for August are not yet
complete.
The great majority of the passports
are written in Washington, only n
few emergency ones being issued in
the field. The abnormal rush this year
was occasioned by certain conven-
tions abroad and the competition
among steamship lines to secure the
traffic by offering lower passage rates
All the countries of Europe, save
Belgium, Switzerland and Holland.
require vises for which a charge of
$40 is made, and must be obtained by
the visitor before entering the coun-
try. The Irish Free State has been
the latest country to fail in line and
asks the customary ten spot" from
soJourners in the Emerald Isle. Uncle
Sam started charging a $40 fee for
issuing passports in July, 1920.
Although no passports or wise is
offlcially required for Americans trav-
cling to Mexico, Canada or Cuba, the
State Department gets numerous ap-
plications for them, as a protection.
A passport is valid for one year and
is subject to renewal for another IL
months at the end of that period.
Americans travelling abroad may get
new passports by applying to Ameri-
can consular Offices.

SCHOOLS ENROLL
MORE THAN $4,000
New Record Made for This
Time of Year-Graded
Rooms Gain Most.

Enrolment in the District public
schools today-the second day of the
1924-1925 scholastic year-paSSed the
6o,O00-mark and established a record
for this period in a new term. AL
though the exact number of children
placed on the rolls today will not be
known until the close of school this
afternoon, officials are confident that
there are 1000 more in the schools
than on the second day of the last
term.
The increase in the enrolment was
noted principally in the kindergartens
and first grades. Many of the younger
children, entering school for the first
time. were kept al home yesterday by
their parents on account of the threat
ening weather.
Registration on the opening day of
the schools yesterday totaled 59,625,
an increase of 1,643 over the first day
of school last year, according to fig
ures compiled in the Office of Robert
L. Haycock, assistant superintendent
of schools. The pupils were divided
as follows: Elementary schools. A.
s25: high schools, 11,221, and normal
schools, $40.
Gain in Graded Schools.
A comparison of the enrolment on
the first day of school last year with
this year shows an increase of 2,136
in the elementary schools, decreaS
Of 564 in the high schools and a gain
of IL in the normal schools These
comparative figures are significant
according to school officers. because
they show a tremendous gain in the
graded schools, where the shortage
of housing accommodations already
is acute. The loss in the high school
enrolment was anticipated, as the
junior high schools are being used
extensively this year to offset the
crowded conditions in the senior in
stitutions.
"A steady gain in the enrolment is
expected until after the Thanksgiving
holidays, when. the peak is usually
reached. At that time officials be-
lieye there, will be at least 10000
pupils in the schools. A further in
convenes also is anticipated.
While congestion was intensified
in many of the schools, it was re-
lieved considerably at the Powell
School. due to the opening of the
new Bancroft School, at Eighteenth
and Newton streets. Two portable
buildings were removed from the
Powell to the E. v. Brown and Ia

for the revival of the competitions,
which will now, in all probability. be
continued from year to year.
