Sing song of school plays,
They're the best what am"
Always come to see them
Every time you can.
When the folks are acting
You might have to scream.
For Danny is a country lad
And sometimes acts quite green.
Peggy is a saucy girl
And likes to torment Danny
And Val, noted hero,
Falls in love with Allie.
Margaret is the mother
And she is hard to beat
Lucille is her daughter
So charming and so sweet.
George, he is lawyer
And what is more, a crook.
A guess he'd give his very life
For Allies sweetest look.
Melinda is sweet old maid
A man is her chief hope.
It's sure that you will all enjoy
The wit of Chess McSwope.

Basketball Champions

astic basketball championship tour
nament held under the auspices Of
the University of Chicago.
Windsor has only 1900 inhabi-
tants. There are sixty-two girls and
hfty-eight boys in it's high school.
Very few people thought this little
school had the slightest chance in
the world of winning this tourna-
ment, but it won it just the same.
This surely shows us what pep and
perseverance will do, and what a
poppy bunch of boys can do, even if
they are from small school and a
little western town.
The following was written as an
original story for the sixth grade
language class by Janet Park.
Maroheta
In the year of 1S47 while Mexico
was still fighting the United States,
in the village of Merida, Yucatan,
lived family by the name of Notre.
They had a beautiful daughter whose
name was Marcheta. She had the
Mexican color of skin, black hair,
brown eyes and shapely red lips.
Marcheta's thin and supple body
helped her to become a very graceful
dancer. She liked to dress richly but
her parents could not afford it.
Senorita Notre had but one thing
to play with, That was a little kit
ten which had been brought from
Cuba on ship and was given to her
by the captain.
Marcheta grew very fast and when
she was eight she entered dancing
school at Vera Cruz. She soon be-
come very lonesome and went home
to help her mother, who, in the
meantime, had recovered from her
illness.
When Marcheta was eighteen years
old she was invited to a grand mas
querade ball at Vera Cruz with her
SenOrlta lnez.
Marcheta was dressed as a young
girl. 1t was there she met
and fell in love with Senior Julio.
One night Marcheta was walking
down one of the streets and she met
Senior Tomos, the head of band OF
Tomos tried to be kind
10 her but she knew that he was a
murderer.
Marcheta went back to her home
n Merida and was quite happy for
/ time. One day she was walking
n the jungle and got on the wrong
,ath. 1t led her to cave where
senior Tomos and his band were hid
EN-. When Marcheta was inside she
vas kidnapped by the band. Tomos
Ook her to a cabin and locked the

ut as he was leaving, 1t dropped out q

That same day Senior Julio was
talking in the jungle and heard n
Iarcheta's cries He drew nearer 2

-indow and saw Mareheta. She told
i'm that Tomos had dropped the key

SCHOOL EMPLOYEES
LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
Form Association to Work
for More Equitable
Treatment.

Organization of the Building Serv-
Ices Employees Association of the
District public schools was perfected
at a mass meeting OF more than 100
engineers, 1anitors and other school
custodlanS yesterday afternoon in the
Plymouth Congregational Church. The
association will begin Immediately a
concerted campaign to wipe out alleg-
ed inequalities in the salary schedule of
the school custodian force and to
have enacted legislation setting up
a definite and uniform work day for
these employees.
Leo A. Conway, Central High
School engineer. pointed out that
there Is no law on the statute books
governing the number of hours a
School building employe shall work,
ana as result many of the janitors
ana engineers are compelled to labor
from o'clock in the morning until
II O'Clock at night, without extra
compensation. Before the reclassifi-
cation legislation was enacted, he
said. janitors and other school Gus
todtans who served at night schools
ana community centers were paid
for overtime.
Charges Wrong Reading.
Mr.. Conway also charged that the
ofhclal record of the hearings before
a congressional committee last year
showed that Supt. Frank w. Ballou
had urged that the appropriation for
the pay OF school custodians working
overtime be transferred to the night
school budget on the ground that the
Janitors and engineers would be
taken care of in the reclassification
bill. 1t was contended by Mr. Con-
way that there is nothing in the re-
cIaSslflcation law to prevent the pay
ment of extra pay for overtime work
and that the additional compensation
is denied through an erroneous inter
pretation of the bill by school Off
GERS.
Prior to the organization of the as
ISOLATION representatives of the
American Federation of Labor and
Federal Employees Union urged the
custodianS to affiliate with their re-
spective bodies. Edward f. McGrady
and Miss Selma Borchardt spoke as
representatives Of +he American Fed
Grafton of Labor. and Miss Gertrude
McNalley for the Federal Employees
Union. The association, however
held in allegiance the question of affil-
iating with either of these bodies.
William McQueeney, engineer at
Central High School. was elected
president; Thomas Jones, secretary.
and Robert Woodwon, treasurer and
financial secretary.

HOBSON DESCRIBES
PERIL FROM DRUGS.
Wants Congress to Grant
Funds for Anti-NarCotic
Education.

Declaring that the peril" of mar
cotic drugs, particularly heroin, was
'jeopardizing not only the family,
but the nation and the entire human
race" Capt. Richmond Pearson Hob
son, founder and president of the
International Narcotic Education
Association. reported to the Susan
B. Anthony Foundation last night
that already several branches of the
Government were fighting the evil
and that Congress would be asked
this short session to appropriate
funds for printing and distribution
of 100000 educational documents
on the subject through the schools
of the country.
The foundation meeting, held in
The Playhouse, 1914 street north
west. adopted a resolution support
ing Capt. Hobson in his campaign.
Mrs. John d. Sherman, president OF
the General Federation OF Women
Clubs, pointed out what the federa-
tion already was doing in a study OF
the narcotic problem and pledged the
cooperation of the federation's 1900
clubs and 100000 woman members.
The problem will be brought up, she
said, in board meeting here the
second week in January.
Lack
Mrs Sherman said the lack of home
life and it's safeguards was partly
responsible for the ills charged to
the younger generation of today and
that the principal work OF the feder-
alton for the next two years would
be to strengthen the American
home"
Capt. Hobson said it was impos-
fr 70 nf
the number of drug addicts in the
United States, estimates now vary
ing from 200, 900 to 1000, 600 Heroin,
which, he said, was approximately
four times as strong as morphine,
was declared to be rapidly displac-
ing the weaker narcotic, especially
among the addicts of the eastern
part of the United States.
Draws Graphic Picture.
A graphic picture of the "torture," ("
depravity and sufferings of drug ad-
diets and of the prevalence of mar
cotics among some of the high
schools OF the country, among both
boys and girls, was drawn by the
speaker.
The heroin addict. Capt. Hobson as
serted had a mania" for recruiting
the ranks of the snow gang" one
addict often obtaining as many as AZ
more He reported that this mania
was so strong in a Connecticut fam
lily that from a mother in a family it
had spread to the father, the seven
children, and finally even to the dog.
All Cures Doubtful.
One strange factor which he re-
ported. but said had not yet been
scientifically investigated, was that
those who get religion stay cured.
Practically, however, the speaker as
serted. the efficacy of all drug addict
cures was considered doubtful.
Instruction in the educational sys-
tenn of the country was needed, Capt.
Hobson pointed out, as an effective
preventive against the evil, but first
il was the aim of his association to
get the message 10 the pupils of this
school year, or thousands of our
youths will be hooked
