to the country by Supt. of Schools
Frank w. BaIlou last night from sta
tion WRC of the Radio Corporation

ing station microphone.
DR. Ballou compared the school Ap-
propriations for the District with
those of the leading cities Of the
country and declared that Washing
ton could not attain her rightful ed
ucational position without corre-
spending financial support for her
public schools.
Washington has been spending less
for public education for many years
than her city sisters, the superin-
tendent pointed out. The proportion
of expenditures for public education
here has been approximately q per
cent of the total revenues, he said.
Only recently the appropriations have
been increased to 80 per cent.
DR.. Ballou also stressed the short
age of schoolhouse accommodations,
which. he declared still exists, de-
spite the fact that Congress has ap-
propriated s2000,000 annually for the
last three years for a school con-
Struction program.

WORK ON CROSSING BILL.
City Heads Redrafting Measure for
Elimination.

Tine death of another Washinxto-
nian at the Lamond railroad grade
crossing last night comes at time
when the Commissioners are revis-
ing their bill to provide for eliminA-
ton of these danger points.
The measure, in its rewritten form,
win be sent again to the budget bu-
reau for approval the latter part OF
this week.
The city heads began drafting the
bill several months ago following the
death of three persons at the Lamond
cross ng.
As originally drawn, it called for
bridges or viaductS at Van Buren,.
Chestnut, Narnum and Quarles streets
was approximately 100000, aud a
proviso was that the railroads should
pay part of the cost of SO much of
the structures as would be on their
right-of-way.
1t was learned at the District
flee returned the bill few days ago,
and informally advised the city heads
1T would have to be modified.
In submitting it the Commissioners
will be forced to cut out Michigan
avenue and QQuarles street, meaning
In existence for some time to come.
The bill also will be changed to
require the railroad to pay half the
entire cost of the structures.
Following the triple tragedy last
year, the Commissioners conferred
with railroad officials with a view
to placing additional warning devices

A. A. Somerville, Realty Deal
er, Killed by Express
at Lamond.

Grade crossings added another.
tragedy to their ever-increasing toll
of life when Archie A. Somerville,
real estate dealer, was instantly
killed at 1910 o'clock last night while
crossing the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks at Lamond station, on Blair
road. near the District line. Accord
Ing to George Fraley, engineer OF the
Chicago express and sole witness OF
the accident, he saw the oncoming
motorist on Blair road and sounded
the whistle. But evidently the warn
ing came too late, for both the ex-
press and the machine arrived at the
crossing at the same time, and Somer-
ville's mangled body was dragged
nearly 800 yards down the tracks.
Mr.. Somervil:e was junior member
of the real estate firm of Hopkins &
Somerville, 219 Bond building. Ac-
cording to his partner, Otto B. Hop
kins, of zoos n street. Mr. Somerville

Park when the accident occurred. Mr..
Somerville had been a resident here
for year and a half and resided at

Apartments.
Notable in War.
During the war he made distin-
Euished advances in the chemical
branch of the Army. He was COM
IN ssioned lieutenant before his re-
-irernent from service. He was
thirty-one years old and was the son
of the late Col. Robert Somerville of
Homecoming, Md.

daughter, Jane Porter Somer-ille:
three sisters. Mrs. Fulcher p. Smith

More Facts
About These
Suits

We shopped seven of
Washington's other mems
stores before arriving at
the conclusion that the
suits offered in our An
niversary are worth ''com-
paratively speaking'' at
least $40, and that many
of them would be SIS and
$50.
We know what the 467
Society Brand Suits carried
over from last spring are
worth. Last year we sold
them at $45, $50 and SIS.
Out of 1000 suits 500
are light shades that men
want for spring.
Two hundred of them
are dark patterns and plain
cOlOrS.
Selections are especially
good in English Norfolks
and sport backs-the sort of
clothes men want for the
country club and motoring
as well as business, of
course.
100000 Washington
men need spring suits. We
only have 1000 suitsin this
group. Don't be one of the
10000 men who didn't get
