Employees to Turn Off Radi-
ators at Times.

The long arm of the Government,

things, has reached out to it's $4,000
. employees in the District of Columbia,
enjoining them to conserve coal in
the score and a half Government
buildings under the supervision of
the superintendent of the State. War
and Navy buildings. The superin-
tendent of the buildings laid down
specific rules which he hopes VIII
result in the saving of many tons OF
coal.
One of these rules instructs en-
ployes when the room becomes too
warm not to open the windows to let
in cold air, but to turn off the steam
in the radiator.
Every effort will be made to con-
serve fuel during the cold months,
according to the circular sent out to-
day by Lieut.. Col. c. o.. Sheriff., su-
perintendent of 81 Government build
ings, asking the cooperation OF all
officers and employees. The ques-
tion of coal conservation" the circu-
lar said, 'is due to its high cost and
scarcity, a particularly important
one"

EYES Of. SCHOOL
PUPILS To Be
TESTED
Supervising Principals Ask
Survey by Physicians in
All Grades.

To determine whether or not pu.
pills in the elementary schools are
suffering from visual defects, the
board OF supervising principals last
night ordered survey made in all
grade schools by the school physi:
clans.
DIR. Joseph p. Murphy, medical
inspector of the schools, and Walter
B. Patterson, director Of special
schools, brought the matter before
the principals. Both declared that
there were large number of pupils
who would be shown to have poor
eyesight.
The chief purpose of the exami.
nations is to find out first what de.
fects the pupils have, and then
to take remedial steps to cure the
defect and do away with the clause.
Teachers will make the examination
by uniform standards and will 70.
port all defects to the school heads.
Appropriate action will then be
taken.
The Board of Education win b
asked at its next meeting to ap.
prove the plan and to offer the
principals the facilities necessary
to conduct the examinations. Funds
for the equipment necessary win be
asked.
Pointing out that 80 per cent Of
childs knowledge is gained
through the eyes. Patterson said
that that alone would justify the
examinations"
