of public education has nearly dou-
bled in the last five years and now
approximates $4,000, 100000. the com
mission has laid down a program of
economy in public school administra-
ton which It hopes will effect saw
ings and increased efficiency. The
commission in a statement today de
clared that. although the American
people have great faith in the public
schools, the cost has become so great
that approval of continued rapid ex-
ransion along present lines is not
unanimous. 1t adds that there Is an
insistent demand for adoption OF the
fundamental principles of good bust
ness management in the administra-
ton of all school systems and feels
that, while the taxpayers are willing
to meet the present annual bills, they
will only agree TO q considerable in
crease in those bills if they can be as
sured the money is being wisely eX-
pended and that the product is the
best money can buy.
The first questions the commission
will deal with will have to do with a
comparison of present-day methods of
school administration with the pr-ac-
tees now in use in large industrial
and commercial establishments. BY
such comparisons it hopes to find the
way for economies which might be eff
fected without any depreciation OF the
quality of education.

LONDON, January &c. - Increased
personal efficiency in America has
more than countered the loss of the
annual flood of European immigrants
resulting from the present restricted
immigration policy. Vernon Wiley
president of the Federation of British
industries. told the annual meeting of
the American Chamber of Commerce
i'll London today while discussing his
recent mission to the United States.
Thus. he said, economic theories
had been COMPOUNDED and American
price levels had not risen. He ad-
mitted that this was to his surprise
for, having spent 10 years prior to the
war in the United States, he thought
that country could not do without the
great influx of foreigners that mount
ed into the hundreds of thousands
yearly. Agitation over the rubber
question at present was the principal
cause of possible Anglo-American fric-
ton, he continued. This was mainly
because the situation had not been
fairly presented in the United States,
although he was certain that when
he discussed the problem with Herbert
Hoover in Washington the Secretary
of Commerce had thoroughly under
stood that the Stevenson act was not
discriminatory against the United
States
Applause greeted statement by the
speaker that the rubber plantations
had been saved by the act, to the i'm
mense advantage of the American peo-
pie, who We're the principal rubber
consumers.

CITIZENS ADVOCATE
CAR "STOP" LIGHTS
Would Make TroIIeys Show
Red Signal Before Com
ing to Halt.

If automobiles have red stop
lights" so should street cars, it was
decided at a meeting of the Mid-City
Citizens Association at a meeting in
the Thomson School last night, when
that organization unanimously adopt
ed n resolution to request the proper
authorities to compel the street rail
way companies of the District of Co
lumbia to make the cars signify their
intention of coming to stop by
red wink. The resolution was referred
to the committee on streets and alleys
Michael Mahaney, chairman, for ac-
ton.
When the resolution came up for
discussion A. j. Driscoll, president OF
the association, explained that the
matter had been considered once be
fore, but that it had been sidetracked.
However, motorists present declared
that not being able to tell when a
street car is going to stop const-
tutes a real menace. AT night a
motorist cannot tell whether people
are getting ready to get on car OF
not" declared DIR. l. c. Buchanan
vice president, who introduced the
resolution.
The association went on record as
approving the street lighting system
and signal lights recently installed
along Sixteenth street and Massachu-
sets avenue, and advocated the abo-
lition Of all gas lights, to be replaced
by electricity.
Another resolution adopted indorsed
the five-year school building program
1t was voted also to refer the teach-
ers' retirement bill-providing Tor III
crease in pay to retired teachers-and
the public utilities bill to the execu-
tive committee. The latter bill pro
vides for two additional members OF
the Public Utilities Commission.
Prior to the business meeting the
association was entertained by debat-
ers from George Washington Uni
versity, whose subject was Resolved,
That the Child Labor Amendment TO
the Constitution OF the United States
Should Be Ratified" The affirmative
side was upheld by James r. kirkland
and r. \. Faulkner. while w. +. Will

bated the negative side. The associa-
ton gave the affirmative the decision
