Are Open to Inquiry.
Plans Fight.
BY tho Associated Press.

PARIS, August 15.-Col. Thomas
w. Miller. former alien property Gus
todian, declared today he had no fear
Of any investigation of the conduct
Of the Office while he was the incum-
bent His statement was made in
of an investigation by the Department
of Justice of the return in 1921 by the
alien property custodian of several
million dollars in seized funds to the
American Metal Co.
ANY acts of the alien property Gus
todian during the last four years are
open to inspection from the proper
authority without fear from the in
cumbent during those years" said
Col. Miller. IF any .enliGhtenment is
required by such authority, such will
be given and in a manner that shall
be conclusive.
THE office was voluntarily resigned
so that. my duty as president of the
Federation Interallie des Anciens
CombattantS, the inJerallied veterans
orsa ization, might be handled active
". For this office l was proposed by
the American Legion and elected last
September at a convention of eX-serv-
ice men of nine allied countries held
in London.
Any attempt to destroy my record
of II years in public service by pre-
mature suppositions will be vigorous

portunity to do so until after the

SCOTCH SHOOTING SEASON
LURES MANY AMERICANS
"Knicker Skirt" Favored by Fair
Dianas as Hunters Trek to
Scottish Moors Begins.
By the Associated Press.

BY tho Assoc1ated Press.
LONDON, August 15.-The "Glori-
Gus Twelfth" of August, marking the
opening of the shooting season in
Scotland and the northern counties
Of England, saw one of the greatest
pilgrimages northward from London
since the war and one in which more
Americans than ever participated.
During the last few years the sport
has attracted a great number of shots
from across the Atlantic and many of
the best moors have been leased to
Americans.
This years trek to the game coun-
try also was marked by a larger pro-
portion of women, who have hereto
fore usually been content to accom-

pany the shooting parties as spec
tators, but who for once are taking
a general hand in the pursuit Of birds
and deer. They have dressed for the
sport, too. and. such a variety of
smart and serviceable shooting cos
tunes never before have been seen
on the moors.
The newest idea is the "knicker
skirt" which appears to be the same
as the fashionable cross overskirt, but
really consists of knickers beneath
two straight panels. Norfolk coats
and skirts in lovat tWeeds also are
largely worn trimmed in suede. Green
and brown appear TO be the favorite
colors, with suede hats to match, and
there is a vogue also for suede pull
overs and washable coats.

A greater degree Of sanitation will
be provided by the glazed brick walls,
Mr.. Harris believes. The old style
plaster walls, he said, soon become
dirty and unsightly from fingerprints
and pencil marks. The glazed bricks
can be washed.
The new buildings, too, will have
rooms designed especially for special
work and study purposes. These same
general improvements Mr.. Harris
plans to carry through. all the new
Junior and senior high schools. with
the aim of giving Washington the
most up-to-date schoolhouses in the
country, in order that they may serve
as a model for school construction for
the Nation.

The Origin of "Good-B )"

Good bye" the common farewell
expression. is not a corruption of
.good boy" as some maintain. but a
contraction of God Be With Ye" or
Il Commit Thee to God" which the
French have preserved in "Adieu. I"
Other nationalities have their own va

Adequate Play Space.

The new elementary schools will be
lO-room units with assembly halls. In
every case there will be adequate play
ground space surrounding the build
ings, something which the older
schools in the District sadly lack. The
space devoted to outdoor recreational
facilities in other cities was particu-
larly noted by the committee on it's
tour and the Washington schools will
benefit thereby.
Some of the other innovations in the
new schools include glazed brick walls
from the bottom of the blackboa rds
to the floors of the classrooms and
ceilings without beams. The upper
portion Of the classroom walls and the
ceilings will be finished in white plas-

Mr.. Harris has embodied in the new
school projects a number of the
salient features in modern school
house construction, observed by
Washington's committee of school
planners during the inspection tour
last Spring in Baltimore. Philadelphia,
Rochester, Buffalo. Cleveland and De
troit. This committee was composed
of Mr.. Harris. his assistant, Osgood
Holmes; Superintendent of Schools
Frank w. Ballou and Ernest Green
wood, vice president of the school
board.
The esthetic touch given the schools
in the cities visited which made a
striking impression on the schoolhouse
planners has been carried out by Mr..
Harris in Washington's new school
projects as far as the limited appro-
priations will allow. Some stone work
has been provided for the entrances of
all the new schools. and the Occoquan
brick used in former buildings as a
facing has been eliminated entirely in
favor of a highs grade front brick.
Embellishments Are Planned.
These slight artistic embellishments,
Mr.. Harris explained, Will reflect in
the ultimate cost Of the buildings. An
other factor destined to increase the
cost of the schools is their location.
Virtually all of them, he pointed out,
will be built in outlying sections where
streets have not been laid, with the
result that long material hauls will be

conducted by General John j.

connected seven radio stations all
the way from Havana, Cuba, to

so many radio stations had been
linked simultaneously with the
Transcontinental circuit.
The next important event in ma.

played an important part. Begin
ming with the events at both the
Republican and Democratic Ma.
tional Conventions, the most inn
portant addresses were broadcast
through the leading radio stations
Of the country which were linked
together by wire. In the celebra-
ton OF Defense Day. under the
auspices of the Army authori-
ties. eighteen broadcasting sta
lions were connected with 10000
miles Of telephone wire and two
way conversations we're held be-
tween General Pershing and the
commanding generals of the vari-
GUS corps areas. On election eve
twenty seven broadcasting sta
lions, including six on the Pacific
coast. were connected by wire to
broadcast the address of Presi-
dent Coolidge and a substantial
part OF the same hook-up for the
speech Of John W Davis.
The ereat advantage OF the use
OF a wire system for distribution
OF radio programs lies in the fact
that extraneous disturbances are
largely eliminated that there is no
static to cause any trouble and no
interference from other messages.
and that the volume OF Intensity

"Why not have laws say what they

Ignorance is no excuse, still we have
such laws that the men. who made
them and who study and deal in
them, do not understand them, and
yet expect the average person to
understand and obey them.

"Why must counties pay to edu-
