Just to show these modern folks

after all, and that automobiles and
street cars are not the only thing that
can cause a traffic jam, a racing pony
went on a spree yesterday afternoon
near Center Market, turned over the

an automobile, struck a street car and
injured three persons, mono of them
seriously.
The call Of the wild came to the
pony as he was proceeding 1eisurely
on Eighth street north of Pennsyl-
Vania avenue. He dashed up the
street and struck an automobile, the
impact sending the surrey and the
driver, Eugene Curtis Of Arlington,
Va, both flying to the street. The
pony left his surrey and his driver in
the street and kept going, pulling the
broken shafts behind him. He banged
into street car on Louisiana avenue,
breaking a glass window and show
ering the conductor, II. A. Thomas,
with the broken pieces. Thomas

SCHOOL BUILDING
PLANS EXPLAINED
BalIou and Greenwood Tell of
Ideas Gained From Other
Large Cities.

Problems in school building con-
struction, in connection with the Dis
trict program, were outlined by Supt.
of Schools Frank w. Ballou and Err
nest Greenwood, vice president of the
Board of Education, before the Pub
lie School Association, in the District
Building last night.
The two officials recently made a
trip to other cities to study school
construction.
Mr. Greenwood said that the school
planning committee would visit De-
troit especially to study the platoon
system there, reputed to be one or
the finest in existence. He said the
Board of Education will give open
hearings whenever asked, provided
they do not become too frequent
Assistance of Labor.
Mr.. Greenwood was impressed by
the assistance given by organized
labor in school building programs
"In cities where bonds are issued for
school building, labor is the hrst
group to vote solidly for bonds and
school taxes" he said
DR.. Ballou defended the ruling for
bidding fraternity activities by the
students in the public schools.
DIR. Ballou said the committee ana
space in new schools because Tor
every cubic foot of space we save
we also save 45 cents" AS one means
of saving this space, he pointed out
the old cloakrooms . will be done
away with and in their place VIII be
built-in lockers along the sides OF
the halls. He said that in physical
education the schools here were not
providing as much indoor space for
exercise as were schools in other
cities, but that the Washington
schools have larger outdoor athletic
fields.
DR. Rallou praised the work of The
Evening Star in sending a representa-
tive on the trips with the school
planning committee and stated that
through the representative a compre-
heEsive description of the trip and
problems had been given.
j. Y. Yaden, who presided, appointed
a nominating committee as follows:
Walter Trey, chairman; George A.
Warren and Daniel Murray.

GERMANY'S TRADE PACT
WITH WARSAW EXPIRES
Poland Expected to Buy Ma
chinery From Other Sources.
Coal Exports Not Affected.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
WARSAW, April 2.-The modus
vivendi governing trade relations be-
tween Germany and Poland has ex-
pired and no steps have been taken
thus far for its extension.
Up to January l last these relations
were governed, as in the case of the
allied powers, by dispositions con-
tained in the treaty of Versailles.
Negotiations for a commercial treaty
to replace them were begun last Fall,
but these progressed so slowly that
on January 13 the modus vivendi
was concluded with the provision that
it expire on April 1, by which time
it was expected a regular treaty
would be signed. This expectation
has not been realized.
Poland will not greatly suffer from
the situation, it is thought, since her
principal export to Germany is coal,
which, under the separate agreement
made in 1922 concerning the parti-
tion of Silesia, enters Germany until
June Is. AS to the machinery which
Poland has been in the habit of i'm
porting from Germany, 1T is pointed
out that she can obtain it easily
enough in the future from Switzer-
land, Sweden or Czechoslovakia.
