TOOLS HAVE STOOD
TEST OF CENTURIES
Workers Of Long Ago Not
So UnsciemfiGc.

Modern civilization is very proud Of
itself for its achievements in technol-
ogy. Everything, from the modern
steam shovel to the tool that fash
ions mainsprings for watches, is hailed
as proving how far advanced we are
over the benighted, unscientific work
ers centuries ago. But an English sci
enlist recently summed up the things
wherein we use the same old methods
employed hundreds and even thou
sands of year ago, and the list is a
revelation.
Bricks furnish perhaps the most
striking example. About 1000 years
ago a certain method was found for
making bricks the best method avail
able then. We use practically the
same composition today. An Egyptian
brickmaker's mold of the Nineteenth
dynasty is precisely the same In shape
and construction as those which are
used today In fields where bricks are
still made by hand.
The modern square and plummet
are also exactly like ancient Egyp-
tian specimens, and the stone mason's
mallet still retains the shape 1t had
In 1850 b. O. Even the composition
Of the mortar has not changed for at
least 1000 years lime and sand, with
the, addition of hair as binding ma
terial, were used by Roman builders.
Consider the hide tanner. The
chemist has made many changes, but
oak bark is still the best-as It was
almost the earliest tanning substance.
Even linen has the first stage In Its
manufacture the same as it was LIN
primitive timesthe 'retttng" Of the
fax, either by sleeping It In water
or by simply exposing it to the dew.
In order to remove the softer tissues
and leave the fine fibers.
A humble thistle is still the best tool
with which to raise the nap on wooden
cloth, the nap being the external Gov

process is usually preferred
The origin Of the potters wheel is
lost In antiquity, but those used today,
although driven by electricity, differ
practically not at all In pattern fr0m
those OF ancient times.
From wall paintings found In Eu-
rope, it seems almost certain that the
pipe Of the modern glass blower has

that second five-year school building
program act should be prepared at an
early date for the further development
and extension of the educational sys-
tenn of Washington, looking toward
| the satisfying of those demands which
| will be made upon the school system
by increases in population in different
sections of the city
while the committee believes that
this legislation should not be intro
duced into the forthcoming session OF
| Congress, the committee believes that
| 1t is not too early to begin the pre-
| paration Of such a BILL"
Under the program adopted at the
meeting held at the Franklin School
yesterday afternoon the board will
rush the preparation Of the two bills
granting free text btoks and leave Of
absence with pay for presentation
promptly after the Congress recon-
| venes next month.
Free Books Act Urgent. =
In setting forth the demand for the
bill giving the school free text books
Mr.. Gilligan reminds that there is no
specific law even for the distribution
of free text books in the elementary
grades, and that the item is always
subjects to a point of order in the
House. a situation not at all advisable.
Justifying the passage Of bill per-
mitting teachers having salaries ex-
ceeding $4,000 to teach in the night
and Summer schools, Mr.. Gilligan
pointed out that this would insure a
higher grade teaching staff in the spe-
cial classes.
The action on the proposed legiSla-
| tive program came near the conclu-
sion of a two-hour meeting which dis
80 <~E ,4L
1t was decided to hold the semian-
nual conference of the board with the
various citizen organizations repre-
sentatives at the Franklin School on
| the night of Monday, December 13. A
| report on the budget estimates will be
| made at this time.
The board authorized school officials
| to take steps toward the establishment
of vocational school for girls at the
Denison Building similar to the Abbott
Vocational School for boys.
Applications of two more school
clubs, the Phi Pi Epsilon Sorority, at
| Eastern High School, and the Pharos
| Society, at Mckinley High School,
were approved.

As a matter of fact, there are certain
definite reasons why Canada Dry" is
sensible drink at luncheon and dinner.
1t is real ginger ale, made from real
Jamaica ginger, and it is one ginger ale
that does not contain capsicum (red
pepper) in any form.
Even people who used to say they
didn't like ginger ale have found new
delight in "Canada Dry" For it is SO
different from the ordinary ginger ale
that it might almost be called by another
