School Census and Facilities.

Work starts today on the enumera-
tion of the children of school age in
the District of Columbia, which will
be the basis of the enforcement of the
new local compulsory education law.
This census will comprise a count Of
all children between tho ages of
and Is years. together with data neces-
reference to the requirements of the
statute.
The purpose of the new law and OF
the census that is being taken to aid
in its enforcement is to give schooling
to every child in the District, or
rather to insure that every child shall
have instruction, whether in a public
school or an institution conducted
properly under private or organization
auspices.
It has long been the sad state of
the District that there are not enough
schoolrooms in the public educational
system to give the children OF Wash
ington proper accommodation. Eff
suited In a stimulation of school build
ing, with provision for a long-term
series Of construction. This work.
however. has barely started, and
Tor. Thus the census OF the school
children will precede the enlargement
or the system.
Despite the lack OF proper school,
room accommodations, however, 1t is
desirable that the count OF the heads
be made, and that statistics be gathered
bearing upon the facilities required to
make a complete enforcement Of the
compulsory education law possible.
The cart may be somewhat ahead of
the horse, but such is the situation
that perhaps this showing of the re-
quirenent will lead to even more rapid
additions to the school plant.
With the present enumeration COM
pleted the Board Of Education and
the Commissioners will be in position
20 demonstrate to Congress specifically
the requirements of the Capital. There
viii be no vagueness in their reports
relative to the necessities. Congress
passed the act requiring the instruc-
ton Of all the children OF school age
in the District. 1t will now be pos
sible to state to it precisely the degree
of the shortage Of school accommoda-
tons requisite to carry this law into
effect.

Foreign Investments.

According to the best information
obtainable from financial experts, the
amounts of private capital invested
abroad on January 1, 1925, reaches a
total of $4,000 100000, and the result

American Designs New
Shoe for Serb Flapper

Serb shoes for the Summer sea-
shore" is II. j. Smyth's slogan.
Smyth is an American who happened
to be wandering through Jugoslavia
and arrived in Belgrade before the
Serb generation.
Belgrade looked as IL IL had re-
Gently been bombarded by Austrian
gunboats. Picturesque crowds walked
up and down the Knez Milhailova
avenue few merchants, a few bank
clerks, q few statesmen and many,
many farmers. The farmers attract
ed most attention because they were
dressed in native costumes. Some of
them carried squealing pigs over their
shoulders. Then there was-and still
ls-the army of woodchoppers, who
cut wood in the middle OF any street
or avenue. During the Winter half
OF Belgrade buzzes and bangs to the
tune OF saw and ak.
Smyth noticed that farmers, wood
choppers and woman mortar mixers
all wore certain type of shoe. He
noticed particularly that the peasant
girls, who toted enormous loads on
their heads, wore especially fine shoes,
but of the same general type. The
shoe was OF woven leather thongs
cut very narrow. The toe was pointed
and bent upward. The woven pat
tern allowed for ventilation, and the
shoe seemed very comfortable. why
not Serb shoes for the Summer sea-
shore?" thought Smyth. So he found
a man who made Serb shoes and sug-
gested a design that would appeal to
others than Serb peasants. He elimi-
mated the pointed toe and put heels
on the shoes. He found a stylish
comfortable last, but he retained the
woven, narrow thongs. He found
some good colors and used them to
match any color scheme of dress Now
the fiapper idea having come to Bel
grade, Serb girls are discarding the
old peasant shoe for the new one.
Vienna also has taken 1t up, and soon
the "spider-web" shoe may be all
over Europe.

Wheat at a dollar bushel was once
regarded as all the farmer needed to
assure his happiness. Wheat has gone
far beyond that price, and still the
farmer is not content, owing to the
fact that the cost Of everything he
needs has increased in proportion.
There is relativity in agriculture as

State wage Fixing Attacked,

The right Of States to fix q minimum
wage BY law. especially with regard to
women. was argued last Friday before the
Supreme Court In a case from Arizona.
Counsel for the State commended that. In
the exercise Of police power. Arizona could
protect the health Of It's citizens by pre-
scribine working conditions. In extending
such protection. he said, nothing was more
important than that women should receive
what the State determined was sufficient
wage to provide the necessaries Of life.
Counsel for A. Sardell. an Arizona store
keeper. who had obtained an injunction
from the Federal Court In that State re-
straining the enforcement Of the law, in
sistine that II was an unlawful interior
ence with the right Of contract. that his
client had a constitutional right to arrange
by agreement with his employees the wages
be would pay. He held that the minimum
wage Of $40 week for women fixed by
Arizona constituted con6scation. asserting
that his client could not pay such wages
and remain in business.
During the argument questions from the
bench indicated that some Of the justices
took the view that the recent decision Of
the Supreme Court holding unconstit utional
the Federal minimum wage law for the
Distrist Of Columbia had decided the ques-
ton.
