The Filipinos look with envious eyes on the profits of Hawaiian pineapple and now claim they can raise even better pineapples. Mango, lanzon, chico and pomelo are strange names to the American housewife, but they may not long remain so if the Phil ippinCs are successful in canning and marketing their fruit products. ir abundance. remains yet to be ex- plotted.

Carl today overruled District Audi
tor Daniel J.. Donovan be deciding
that $4,000 reappropriated by
Congress for the purchase of land
for an addition to the Park View
school should not be made avail
able.
Under the school building pro-
gram the construction of the addi-
ton had been urged as being pre-
ferable to a third story to the
school.
It was held. however. that money
could not be spent out of the
general school building fund for
the additional ground required, as
the price asked by the owners ex-
the assessed value of the property.
Purchase OF the land in such an
instance would have been con-
trary to an act of Congress, 1t
is said.
Auditor Donovan held that the
fund could be reappropriated for
the project.
The $154,0 900 necessary for this
purchase was reappropriated by
Congress for this specific purpose
but McCarl held that the money
must not be spent because it came
under the act preventing expendi.
