QUEEN MARIE PAYS
D. c. SCOUTS TRIBUTE
Sends Autographed Photograph to
Troop No. 20 Of Fourth Pres

Queen Marie of Rumania has pre-
sented to Boy Scout Troop No. 70 of
the Fourth Presbyterian Church. this
city, an autographed photograph OF
herself with personal greetings to
the scouts of this country, 1t was
learned today.
Just before D. Dimitrie Dimancesco,
attache of the Rumanian legation
here and founder of the Boy Scout
movement in Rumania, departed for
a visit to his country short time
ago, Troop 20, of whose. committee
he was a member, presented him
with a silk American flag in appre-
citation of the interest he has shown
in American scouting. The presen-
tation was made at a camp fire In
the woods with the observation that
all scouts are brothers, regardless of
natT.cality.
:. When Mr.. Dimancesco reached Ru-
mania he presented the flag to the
crown prince, who has been an ar
dent supporter of the scout move
ment there. The crown prince in
turn presented the flag to Queen
Marie, who, in return, sent back an
autographed photograph of herself.
Mr.. Dimancesco also brought back
with him a nephew, Constantine Dan
ielopol, who has been through the
program of both the Rumanian and
British Boy Scouts and now has be-
come a member Of Troop 70.

BALL0U MAKES PLEA
FOR SCHOOL SYSTEM
Describes Conditions at Joint Par
ley of Civic 0rganizations-Fears
Appropriation Cut.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED, HE SAYS
Mid-City Citizens Urge Proposal
for Free Text Books.

The now familiar story of the Dis
trict public schools and their needs,
somewhat cailouSed from retelling,
was again heard by members of the
board of education at their annual
Joint conference with representa- tives
of the various civic organizations last
night in the Franklin School
Inadequate Fairgrounds, lack of
classroom accommodations, obsolete
text books, poor lighting facilities and
other conditions recommended for
correction several years ago, as usual,
were the target of criticism. Some of
the complaints were filed verbally,
others were in the form of briefs. AS
is its custom, the board promised to
consider the plea of the civic body
representatives. when it begins the
preparation of the school budget for
the next fiscal year.
Supt Frank w. Ballou described
how the recent reduction in the school
appropriation bill reported to the
House would result seriously for the
school system.
DIR. BaIlOu's Explanation
DR.. Ballou's explanation came at
the outset of the meeting. The su-
perintendent revealed the increases
sought by the board, the amount
granted by the budget bureau and
the amount ultimately agreed upon
by the House committee on appro-
priations. 1t was the first COMPARE
son school officials had made of the
badly slashed school budget, and
when DR.. Ballou concluded there was
a noticeable silence in the Franklin
auditorium
One of the revelations made by
Supt. Ballou was that several new
buildings and additions may be
opened next year minus the necessary
equipment. The buildings are the
Spring road and the Health schools,
il the latter is appropriated for, and
the additions to the Thomson School
and the Armstrong Manual Training e
School. DR.. Ballou pointed out that
the six-room addition to the Thorn
son was completed in January, but
il is without the essential equipment.
Not a single item for the construc-
ton of new buildings remains in the
school budget as it is before the
House, DR.. Ballou stressed
of natural lighting facilities in the
schools rather than electric lights
was made by Snowden Ashford, rep
resenting the education committee of
the Federation of Citizens Associ-
ations. A survey has shown. he said,
that there are seventy-fiye buildings
in the city needing improvement in
natural lighting. He proposed that
the Improvement be made by chang
ing window arrangements, which
would cost on the average $1,000 a. build
ing.
The Mid-City Citizens Association
urged free text books for the high
and normal schools. Ernest Green
wood, vice president of the board,
remarked that it would cost $780,
900 to get the text book situation bacf
to normal without granting free
text books to the high and normal
school students

to detailing Mr.. Baer with a party of

The white Indians, it was said at
the museum. might turn out to be
renegade white men who have gone
into the jungles and existed there
through generations. The most in

Mr.. Baer and the remainder of the
party intend to push on until the
white Indians are found or the rumors
