After a spirited discussion the
Board of Education yesterday adopted
resolution that it is the sense of
the board that nonresident pupils
sh auld not be accepted in the local
system so long as District pupils are
subjected to congestion. Edwin c.
Graham, president, voted against the
resolution on the ground that it was
not appropriate for the board to ad.
vocate the barring of the Maryland
and Virginia children.
CharlSs +. Carusi and DIR. Fl. B.
Learned led the arguments in favor
of the nonresident resolution. They
took the view that the matter was dis
tinctly one of which the board should
take cogniZance and that the District
Commissioners and Congress should
be advised of their stand.
Upon the recommendation of Mr.
CaruSi, the board also decided to take
a definite stand on the matter of
naming schools. 1t was decided that
the board would have representatives
confer with the District Commission.

one Or the other taking full respon-

R0ssell Change Asked.
The question came up when a let
ter was read from the District Com
miSSioners asking the board if it
agreed to changing the name of the
RosSell School to the Woodbridge
School. 1t was brought out that
the board had recommended the name
Rossell in pursuance to the request
of the District Commissioners that
the schools be named after Commits
SionerS.
Appointment of a special commit
tee to devise a practical method to
determine whether a majority of
Washington parents favor a longer
school day was decided upon. Off
cial investigation of this question was
suggested by Charles F. Carusi. The
when named will work with
DR. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent.
The question was brought before
the board by the reading of a letter
from w. c. Trey. secretary of the Dis

day with the view of eliminating much
homework.

Gen. Hansen L. Ely. comma nding Off
Ger Of the United States War College
told Milwaukee Legion men that war
is horrible, wasteful and criminal,
but that to teach that war is to be
avoided at any cost lis to teach

Addressing the anniversary dinner
of the Milwaukee Legion last night,
Gen. Ely attacked professional

Charging that many of our churches
have heon infected with the peace at

the effort now under way to pledge
our youth TO resist war at any cost.
There is an obligation that rests
upon al! to make return to our coun-
try in citizenship" he said. when
we remember that of all peoples in
history we are the most fortunate,
owning more than half the worlds
wealth, service under arms in time
of national peril seems a small return
indeed"
Gen. Ely asserted that if America
had been prepared for war in 1916
it could have stopped the World War
without entering the conflict.
"One threat 20 throw our enormous
resources and tremendous man power
against the warning side unwilling to

DOUBTS PHONE RATE CUT.
President of Company Questions
Covells Use of Figures.

Possibility of a reduction in tele-
phone rates. as suggested by Maj. w.
Ac. r. Covell, Assistant District Engi-
neer Commissioner, was discounted
today by A. f. Berry, president of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Co.
"Inasmuch as the telephone rate
case is now before the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia" said a
statement issued by Mr.. Berry, ''the
company thought it improper to enter
into any discussion of the matter at
this time"
Mr.. Berry pointed out, however,
that Maj. Covell apparently had used
the figures in his statement erroneous
ly, in that he had compared the net
earnings for 1925 with the value of
the property at the end of 1924, totally
disregarding the addition of some
SO, ,O0O, 900 worth of property which the
company added to it's plant last year.

With DIR. Ballou on record to this
extent, members of the board were of
the opinion that they should under
take to cooperate with him in finding
out how the parents feel.
Final settlement of the question of
installing steel curtains at Central and
Dunbar High Schools was advocated
by DR.. Ballou through a conference
with the District Commissioners DR..
Ballou also recommended that the fire
regulations be revised to permit auto
mobile repair shops in the schools to
operate without complying with the
same regulations framed for public
garages.
Teachers Retention Sought.
Letters were read from the Park
View Citizens Association and the
Park View Platoon School Parent
Teacher Association pleading for the
retention next year of Miss Frances
Farley, administrative principal of
the Park View Platoon School. Miss
Farley will reach the age of retire
ment at the close of the present school
year. The matter was referred to the
personnel committee for consideration
The Park View Citizens Associa-
ton" stated the letter, signed by
Fred S. Walker, president, takes a
keen interest in its school, and wishes
to ask the Board of Education to
make an exception to it's usual prac-
tice in the case of Miss Farley.
Miss Farley is in excellent health
and is eminently competent to con-
tinue to perform the duties of ad-
ministrative principal. We would refer
your attention to the report on this
matter by the supervising principal of
this division. She has been in charge
of this school since it's opening in 1916.
and her work here, together with her
excellent record of almost SO years in
the Washington schools. should, we
believe, entitle her to special consid-
Grafton by the Board of Education,
I'VE believe Miss Fairley's interest
in the school is so great that she
would be willing to forego retirement
at this time and we request that she

be retained in her present position
for another school year"
Fire Hazards Removed.

The board voted yesterday to re-
open the case of Miss Anna E. Sulli-
van following an appeal from Will
liam E. Leahy, her attorney.
A report on the annual inspection
of public schools by the fire marshal,
made by Business Manager r. o.
Wilmarth, was made by DR. Ballou.
Mr.. Wilmarth reported that all of
the minor hazards reported are being
speedily taken care of.
The board also voted to change
the opening hour of the junior high
schools from $50 in the morning
until 8 o'clock and to cut the recess
periods from 8 to 5 minutes. The
closing hour will be 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. The new hours are to
go into effect at once.
Rev. +. /. A. Bennett, chairman of
the rules committee. proposed a new
rule which would require all single
woman teachers to report to school

riage before the pay day next fol-

of the earth was on fire, and thought
the sun would draw it out
Il used to fear u rain of fire when
ever the sky grew red. So intense was
this that l oyercame my fear of thun-
dershoWers, because l felt that the
rain of water would cool off the earth
and postpone the rain of fire"
Because of the biblical promise that
the world should never come to an
end by flood, but by fire, perhaps, is
the reason why many persons who
fear fire likewise fear the end of the
world Among them we find such
fears expressed as the following
My horror of the end Of the world

These fears have varied effects.

Care of Mans Wardrobe.

4 successful Wardrobe-aS any We'll

What these outfits shall be depends
upon the social and business needs
Of the person who is to use them.
The idea of the complete outfit is
borne in mind pretty well when pur-
chasing clothing. both by men and
women. But a thing which is often
forgotten is that it is equally essen
tial To keep these complete outfits in
presentahle shape for instant use.
What can I've more tantalizinS To

outlined under such conditions In the

effort. In the early afternoon, they
Indicate Indifference and lack of in

adverse. and definitely unfavorlble. 1t
would be impolitic to start any new
endeavor or enterprises; 1t would be
more advisable to be content. for the
day. with things as they are. and to
let we'll enough alone. The influences
will affect more your disposition thai
your actions. and you will sense an
urge TO be quarrelSome, argumentative
and arbitrary. This can only be
counteracted by deliberativeness.

be practically free from those ailments
to which little children are generally

lengths to get even" They will be
studious, and always envious of those
with greater possessions, be they men
tai or material
If tomorrow is your birthday, your
friends are disposed to fight shy OF

habit of making engagements careless
