RESERVES CALLED
TO SUBDUE GIRLS
Inmates of National Training
School Stage Wild Battle
With Policemen.
SUPPER, DISHES HURLED
One Officer Bitten, Several Nursing
Bumps and Scratches
on Heads.
SUPPER, DISHES HURLED

Fifty enraged young Amazens in
the National Training School for
Girls, Conduit road and the District
line, engaged reserves from the Ten
leytown and seventh precinct sta
tions in sizzling combat for half an
hour late yesterday when they re-
sented police interference in a private
fight between themselves.
When the smoke of battle had
raised, and dishes and other missiles
had ceased hurtling through space,
Private William Sager was nursing a
bitten hand. several other policemen
were feeling bumps on heads that
had come in contact with harder OBJ
disordered uniforms.
Girls Get in Fight!
The trouble started when Lucille
kcrd, IS. and Odessa Farwell, II,
both coiored, got into a fight just
son. the superintendent, and her as
sistants had barely succeeded in sep
arating the two girls when others
took sides and in a few minutes a
near riot was in progress.
Realizing serious trouble might
result, Miss Richardson called for the
reserves of the two precinct stations
AS the policemen, led by Sergt. S. j.
Marks, rushed into the dining hall,
the girls forgot their personal
grievances. however. and turned on
the unprepared hluecoats. Plates
bits of metal and almost anything
movable the young Amazons could
lay their hands on were hurled at
the momentariiy defenseless heads
of the officers.
Collecting their strength quickly
however, the policemen charged. dis
armed the girls and succeeded in
locking them in their rooms. In the
melee, however, Phyllis Ray, Is, is
said TO have severely bitten Private
Sagers hand, and another hit Sergt
Marks over the head with piece OF
iron. Still third girl was grabbed
by a policeman just as she was rush
ing toward Miss Richardson with up
raised knife.
One policeman stood guard at the
school last night, prepared to put
down any renewal of the riot or die
At his post, but his services were un
called for. Thoroughly penitent, the
girls awoke to a realization of the
seriousness & -heir acts this morn
ing. An investigation is being con-
Quoted into the affair, however. and
disciplinary measures will be invoked
against the leaders of the fracas.

A reporter who has been endeav.
oring to gain weight ate heavy
breakfast Of hard-b boiled eggs, home
made biscuits and other burdensome
It'd bits this morning and headed for
the nearest penny scale to read the
good news.
The pointer on the dial of the plat
form scale just inside an F street
drug store swung around to 129
pounds upon the dropping of the re-
quired cent in a slot hidden among a
maze of nickel plated decorations at
the top of the machine. A pretty
piece of mechanism it was, thought
the reporter in happiness over gain
ing a pound since last week. and he
surveyed the full-length mirror and
shining steel with admiration.
Determined to satisfy himself that
he really had gained that pound, he
strolled up a few doors in the same
block and found inviting his patron
age a free beam scale in another en-
porium. His doubt was not entirely
eliminated, however. as the free scale
credited him with a pound less than
Spends Another Penny.
Perhaps the penny machine at an
other store would settle the question
for him, he contemplated, so forth
with he set out to the corner drug
store, two blocks away. The pointer
settled itself at the l3o mark, but his
first feeling of exultation soon gave
way to one of grave suspicion that
these handsome machines were spoof-
ing him at a penny per throw.
A penny is not to be smirked at,
nor is the subject of a mans weight
one to be trified with. Two pennies
had been swallowed up that might
have found good use in buying a
stamp with which to mail the letter
/ that wifey had put in his pocket last
The reporter decided he would find
out what he weighed IL he had to
spend, yes. a dozen pennies. 80 q
J block farther on he bought drink
and asked for change in pennies. The
glassful of bracer might possibly add
! a couple of ounces to his weight, and
| the ten pennies and two nickels he
had gotten out of his quarter might
hoist the total slightly, he reasoned
Drops Back This Time.
| 1t is good thing he thus added a
few ounces, or he would not be able
now to report even the total of 12s
with which he was greeted on his
fourth try. A light 128 it was. al
that. He had walked one block and
lost two pounds. At the same rate
by the time he got back to his office
an hour or SO hence, he could expect
to be nothing but heap of clothes
| two shoes and a straw hat.
Nevertheless, disregarding this out
look, he struggled on westward an
other block, reluctantly loosened hi;

nonchalantly around the drug store

front of him. Aha. his first penny
| reposing among hundreds of Other
! coppers at the first drug store, was
right in the first place. The pointer
had stopped at 129. .--..- -.
Satisfied with this mark. he turned

at the entrance to 345 Pennsylvania

Dalhouse of the sixth precinct on a
'raiding expedition.
There was some alien language
while the officers were passing
through the hallway to a poorly
ventilated rear room, but Is Chinese
playing domfnees were unable to get
all their stakes out of sight before
the two officers appeared, it is alleged.
Dominoes remained on the table
and were seized. On the floor Lieut..
Cornwell and Sergt. Dalhouse found
$4.85. There was no confusion.

CONY HIGH NIGHT SCHOOL CLOSES
after SUCCESSFUL 20 Weeks COURSE

The Augusta night school at Cony
High school closed Thursday night,
March 20, after 20 weeks of the most
successful night school work ever ac-
complished in this city. This success
was due primarily to it's excellent fac
ulty, which consisted of Frederick A.
Remission. principal and instructor in
typewriting. educated at Rensselaer,
Polytechnic Institute; Miss Vera 1. Lee
land. bookkeeping teacher, Bawpath
Institute graduate; Miss Leora Edna
Prentiss, supervisor Of elementary sub
Miss Ethel M. Raymond, a Northamp-
ton Commercial College graduate, as
teacher of elementary and advanced
stenc graphy.
That the night school of Augusta was
larger this year than last was evident
from the first when it was found nee
cssary to increase its faculty from
three members of last year to four of
this year in order to give the excel
lent individual instruction that such a
school should have. The aim of the
present faculty was to give each stu
dent the help that would allow him to
progress as fast as he could advan-
tageously In this way very satisfac-
tory results were attained and a great
deal more work accomplished
The wonderful spirit with which each
student attacked his work cannot be
fully appreciated except by those who
visited night school. Always eager to
begin, and never ready to stop work
Although the sessions did not begin
| until o'clock, many were at work be-
fore that time. 1t is hoped that next
