BALLOU TO DEFEND
GASQUE BILL STAND
viii Appear at Hearing To-

Now Is Forecast.

DR. Frank w Ballou, superint endent

first witness before the House sub
committee investigating the merit of
the Gasque elective school board bill

which. in all probability will be the
final session on this measure.

their campaign against him.

author of the bill himself is known to
he displea sed over the course the
hearings have taken. Most of the
supporters Of the measure have
seized upon the hearings as an OPP
portunitN to vent their displea sure
over the Ballou regime. with the re-
suit that the actual merits Of an
elective school board az opposed to
an appointive school board have been
barely touched on.
Reviewing the three hearings al,
ready held, observers say that moth.
ing really new concerning the status
of 1.-The present school system has
been developed. There has merely
been a repetition of charges which
ara made from time to time concern
ing alleged maladministration of the
school system, which. in final analysis,
are held to be without substantiation
While Mr.. Gasque predicts that the
subcommittee win tonight order IA
vorable report on his bin, it is believed
that the subcommittee will he divided
over the report, with the result that
the fun House District committee will
shelVe the measure so far as the pres
emf session OF Congress Is concerned.
The fact that the District Commits.
sioners oppose the bill. together with
the declarations of present members
of the board they would not permit
themselves to be candidates on an cleo
tive board are expected to weigh
heavily against passage Of this meas.
ure.
A capacity attendance Is expected

Winston Churchill Among First to
Seek Comfort by Describing
Conventional Waistcoat.
By the Associated Press


LONDON, July 3I.-winston
Churchill, now a member of the Con-
sentative party, still is a liberal as far
as hot-weather clothing is concerned.
In the House of Commons he has in
augurated the American custom of
doing away with waistcoats during the
hot season.
Ordinarily the British lower house
is one OF the coolest places in London.
but this year, with the thermometer
lowering in the SOS, which means as
much to the Londoner as the hundreds
do to an American, the members are
leaving nothing undone in the matter
Of personal comfort.
Among the waistcoatless ones are
Sir Arthur Shirley Benn, Capt. Dixev
and Capt. Ernest Evans. Col. Applin
has been appearing lately in a soft
yellow alpaca suit, while Mr.. Churchill
is quite ready TO forego wearing his
vest. He has so far refused to part
with his stiff white shirt.
