MANYSTUDENTS
SEEK JOBS

Hundreds of Washington high
school pupils want to obtain part
time employment in local business
establishments, a survey by school
officials revealed today.
Assistant Superintendent of
Schools Stephen E. Kramer stated
that the inquiry being made among
the high schools showed unQues-
tionably a desire on the part Of
pupils to obtain their own pocket
money by working outside of school
hours.
of course, we cannot determine
at this time how many of the pupils
will finally accept" said Mr..
Kramer. This original survey
was made to get an idea of how
many would be available for the
work. When they find out that
this means working from 3 TO 6
o'clock in the afternoon on school
days. and also Saturdays, I don't
know how many Wen be able to
get for outside employment.
The survey was made at the sug-
gestion OF the Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association, whose school
committee, headed by Philip King.
has been in conference for some
time with heads of the educational
system. Further meetings with Off.
GERS of the school administration
and high school principals are in
prospect.
Should the final canvass reVeOi
an appreciable number of students
earnestly DESTROYS of obtaining part
time employment. an instructor in
salesmanahip will be furnished and
positions obtained for the pupils.

the company investigated, under
the terms of bill introduced in
the House today by Congressman

House District Committee.
The measure provides the valu-

which shall be charged to operat !.
ing expenses.
Provides for Complete Study
The measure is expected to give
the utilities commission the funds

exhaustive study of the financial
condition OF local street railways
and other utilities.
The bill was introduced as a re-
suit of the prolonged 5-cent fare
hearing, conducted by the Public
Utilities Subcommittee of the House
District Committee. 1t was shown
concIusively in the hearings that no
valuation has been made which
gives the public fair basis on
which fare rates may be fixed.
District officials and members Of
the utilities commission testified
that the commission has been han
dicapped by lack Of accountants and
other expert employees, and al a
result has been compelled to adopt
the valuation figures prepared by
the utilities companies.

Mr.. Charles England,
Vashon, Wash.
Dear Sir:
We handled four comparative
locks last year on four different
tations, all of which were consid.
red good standard rations, and
lur results with the Wisconsin
Mash were so much above others
hat we have decided to recon-
mend the last named. We have
not, however, any tabluations OF
the results obtained from these
different rations, principally ow
.ng to the fact that we are not ad-
9eltising the disadvantage Of any
particular ration. We are handl-
ing two brooders with skim milk
and the Wisconsin mash without
powdered milk, and two groups
with the Wisconsin mash contain
ing the powdered milk and only
water for drink and the consensus
Of opinion is that there is no diff
icrence between the two, though
the amount OF labor is reduced con
ilieiably where the powdered
kim milk is added to the mash
For this reason | believe it will
become a standard method of feed.
ing very shortly.
Apparently the easiest and best
way to feed the Wisconsin Ration
is to put it on the trays at first
and let the chicks have all they
want of it being sure that they are
aught to go out and 90 under the
nover the first thing, and that
hey learn that the mash and wa
ter are good for them. When one
specially skeptieal | suppose
will be more satisfying to give
hem a little once every two or
hree hours, the only difficulty be-
ng that the feeder may not have
rs good judgment as to the a
uounts as the chicks themselves
have.
