Disagreeing with the present meth

playground facilities and workshops
and large laundry.

DENIES PROPOSED LAW
HITS COTTONSEED TRADE
Dairy Council Official Explains
Impending California Legislation
Regulating Oleo Industry.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 17.-Sam
P. Greene, secretary of the California
Dairy Council, in q statement yester-
day, says that any fears of the
governors of the Southern cotton
States that impending legislation in
California might adversely affect the
cottonseed industry were groundless.
Greene asserted that cocoanut OIL
duty free from the Philippines. rather
than cottonseed oil, was the basis
of the oleomargarine manufactured
in California
Figures from the United States
Bureau of Internal Revenue show
that the oleomargarine industrys
purchases of cottonseed oil during
the same period amounted TO less
than S2,500,000. OF the oils used in
manufacture of oleomargarine. less
than 10 per cent is cotton seed" the
statement says.

S12O,95O IS SOUGHT
TO LIGHT SCHOOLS
Board to Be Urged to Elec-
trify All Buildings Not
Yet Equipped.

The buildings and grounds and
equipment committee of the Board Of
Education will recommend to the full
board at it's meeting tomorrow that
sl20.950 be spent out of the repair
fund to install electric lights in all
public school buildings which have
not been electrified. it was announced
today by Chairman Ernest Green
wood.
The recommendation comes as
sequel to the initial inspection tour
In Philadelphia and Baltimore OF the
comm. .ttee of school planners, of
which MIR. Greenwood was member.
Mr.. Greenwood observed particularly
the steps taken in these two cities to
provide artificial illumination in the
schools and decided then that Wash
ingtons schools should be brought
up to date as soon as possible as far
as electr f1cation is concerned.
Have Ample Lighting.
All of Philadelphia's new schools.
Mr.. Greenwood told his committee.
have installed electric lights through
out, while the schools in Baltimore
have a preponderance of electric
lights. AS many as Is glaring chan
deliers hung in the classrooms in all of
Baltimore's new schools.
+ Mr.. Greenwood reported to his COM
mittee that Al schools in Washington
are not even wired and have no serv-
ice connections: IL have service con-
nections, but no wiring or fixtures;
are wired, but not equipped with
fixtures: 25 are partly lighted cleo
trically and 20 have obsolete fix
lures. 1t is estimated that the s120,-
$50 to be taken out of the repair fund
viii provide adequate artificial illumi-
nation in all these buildings.
Plan New Furnaces.
The committee also plans to rec
ommend to the board that approxi-
mately 100000 be appropriated out
of the repair fund for replacing obso-
lete furnaces in the schools. Some OF
the furnaces now in use, 1t was said,
range in age from Sc to Al years.
Installation OF housekeeping suite
In the Miner Normal School, requested
by the institution, also was approved by
the committee, which will recommend
that $4,000 be taken out of the repair
fund for this purpose 1t Is likely that
this suite will be modelled after the
housekeeping units observed by the
school planners in Baltimore and Phila-
delphia.
The housekeeping units are expected
to be included as a standard feature
in Washingtons new junior high
schools to be erected under the Sl9,-
100000 ive-year school-building pro-
gram. The school-planning committee
was deeply impressed with these units
in the Baltimore and Philadelphia
schools. Baltimore, in the opinion of
the committee, has the ideal arrange
ment for a housekeeping suite, and
the units in these schools may be
copied.

ON COLONIZATION PLAN
legislative Committee Advises
California to Retire From
Land Enterprise at Delhi.
nv the Associated Press.


SACRAMENTO, Calf, March IL
The Delhi colony, a State-sponsored
land settlement project near Merced,
has been a financial failure, legis-
lative committee reported here today.
The colony was settled under an easy
payment plan by residents Of Eastern
and Middle Western States.
The committee recommended to the
legislature that California quit the
business of selling land to settlers
and underwriting such projects. The
Delhi colony was the second settle
ment started by the State. The frst,
at Durham. In the Sacramento Valley,
was adjudged a success. The Delhi
colonists appealed for additional
State aid when failure seemed certain.
The legislative committee recon-
mended that an appropriation of
S250oO0 be made to establish a fund
for loans TO be made to the settlers
Another recommendation is that the
State write off 100000 in interest
charges and in adjustments TO be
made in the contract price of land
and irrigation costs
