PLAN BUSINESS TRAINING.
Program for Public School Pupils
Under Consid era tion.

A plan to give District public school
pupils more definite training for busi-
ness life was considered at a confer
ence yesterday afternoon between
school authorities and the public
school committee Of the Merchants
and Manufa cturers' Association, com
posed of Philip King, Harold H. Levi.
George d. Halsey, John A. Eckert and
Charles J. Columbus.
Employment of high school pupils
in department and other stores after
school hours and on Saturdays is the
first step in the proposed plan. While
being paid for their work the pupils
also would receive credit from school
authorities.
The practical salesma nship course
may be introduced soon after the
Christmas holidays and likely will be
followed by others in non-selling bus
mess occupations.

POPE MAY LEAVE
VATICAN NEXT YEAR
Some Credence Given Report
He Will Go to Assist for
Franciscan Fete.
BY the Associated Press.


ROME. December 1.-The voluntary
imprisonment of the Popes in the
Vatican. begun in 1870 after the over
throw of the temporal power by the
establishment of United Italy, may be
ended next year with a personal visit
of Plus NJ to Assist to preside at the
Inauguration of the new Franciscan
monastery on the seventh centenary
of the death Of st. Francis of Assist.
This possibility is advanced by the
Tribuna as baSd on tuehtntic in
formation.
The possibility is strengthened by
the fact that Plus NJ began his pom
tificate by breaking precedent and
appearing on the exterior balcony of
st. Peters.
1t is even asserted that he intended
to leave the Vatican and participate
in the ceremony inaugurating the
knights of Columbus charitable in
stitution here last year. but gave up
the plan because of a premature
leak" which caused unwelcome pub
liCity.
Reasons for Leaving.
Those in touch with the situation
point out these facts:
Premier MusSolini. who has been
one of the WarmeSt proponents Of
friendly relations between the Italian
government and the Vatican, has Is
sued public proclamation. in which
he CharaCterizes st. Francis as the
"saintlieSt of saints"
After passage of the old law sup
pressing religious congregations the
government occupied many buildings
belonging to religious rganizations,
including the franciscan Monastery
at Assist, which now has been u=-G
for more than 80 years as n state COZ
lege. The Fra nciscans, supported ny
the holy see, asked restitution az -
monastery for the seventh centenary
of the death of their great saint.
State College Building.
Mussolini prsonally examined the
question. The chief difficulty con
sisted III finding another building for
the state college, but since none was
available at Assist and the residents
did not wish To have the college trans
ferred elsewhere, the decision was
reached to build a new college at an
expense Of more than 5000 900 lire to
the Italian government, the balance
of the total of 100000 lire to be
borne by the holy see and the Fran
ciScan order.
1t would constitute so radical a de
parture from tradition, however, that,
despite the high authority claimed
for it. there are not lacking those IA
miliar with Vatican traditions who
cannot bring themselves to believe
the holy father will actually make
such n departure.

Lieut.. Comdr. Wilson Sub.
mits Best Paper to Oil
and Gas Symposium.

Lieut.. Comdr. E. z. Wilson, chief
of Aeronautics here, won the award
for the best contribution to the
National OIL and Gas symposium of
1925, 1t was announced today in New
forty-sixth annual meeting of the
American Society of Mechanical En-
gineers.
Comdr. Wilson's paper was selected
from hundreds contributed by engi-
neers, chemists, physicists, Industrial
lists and other technical men. Its
subject was Power Plants for U. S.
Navy Aircraft.
Extract From Paper.
1--WE need not feel that we have ap-
preached the limits in aircraft en-
gines," declared Comdr. Wilson in his
paper ANY one in this stage of de
velopment. who for a moment is in
clined to feel satisfied with what we
have, is just about ready for "a severe
jolt.
I'm this game, we try to keep our
heads in the air and our feet on the
ground, but since we are standing
on quickSand, our position is some
what unstable.
The history of aircraft engine de
velopment is written in the words
pounds per horsepower. Obviously
this ratio must be kept a minimum
and this result can be attained by de
creasing weight and increasing power
Specific Weight Reflected Back.
The specific weight is reflected back
into the gross weight of the airplane
The heavier the engine for a given
power, the greater the wing area nee
essary to support 1t.
Larger wing area results in greater
weight of the structure. which, In
turn, requires more power to attain
the given performance"
Development of new types of engines
will not take place SO rapidly in the
future as in the past, Comdr. Wilson
predicted.
There are three stages of develop
ment-the experimental, the flight
testing and the production stage" he
said. I'VE generally contract for al
experimental model in numbers OF
three to five. These engines are thor
oughly tested on the block with view
to getting all the bugs out Of them" I"

STREET RAILWAY
MERGER LACG|NG
Utilities Board, Pondering
Over Details, Will Discuss
Problem Thursday.

Officials of the Public Utilities
Commission are turning over in their
minds today the question of what the
next move should be in their efforts to
bring about an early consolidation of
the street railway lines.
The commissions first move of ask
ing the companies for informa ton as
to what progress they have made be-
tween themselves toward "A voluntary
merger brought the statement from
both systems yesterday that while
conferences have been held. it would
be premature and detrimental to pre-
dict the outcome at this time.
The commission will take up the
problem of merger again at a meeting
Thursday afternoon, but it was not
prepared today to intimate what step
it will take next.
Commission States Purpose.
When the letter was sent the COM
panieS asking them what progress
they have made since Congress passed
the voluntary merger act at the last
session, the commission stated it de-
sired this information in order to de-
eide whether further legislation should
be sought from the new Congress.
While officials of the commission
were non-committal today. the draft
ing of further legislation designed to
accomplish merger was regarded as
a more likely move on the part of
the commission as n result of the
correspondence with the companies.
Laws Provision Cited.
The law passed at the last session
authorized the companies to work out
a plan of voluntary merger, to be
ratified by Congress before being car
ried out. There have been other bills
considered in Congress in recent
years designed to induce merger by
imposing heavier taxation on the
companies until a consolidation is eff
fected. The commission has not In
Ilacted what form of legislation IT Will
consider for the coming session in
the event it should be decided to go
beyond the voluntary merger act of
the last session.
