ACCUSES WIFE
Of PLOT

Charging that an attempt had
been made by his wife and her
parents to railroad him to st.
TClizabetf's Hospital and have him
declared insane, Lester M. Yost,
clerk in the War Department, to-
day filed a cross bill for divorce
against Mrs. Lorenes Yost, 372l
New Hampshire Ave.
Mrs. Yost, through Attorney Ray
mond Neudecker, filed her original
bill for divorce last fall, charging
her husband with cruelty. She
specifies in, her charges that ne
cursed her and threatened her.
Yost. she alleges, was examined
last September by two physicians
who recommended that he go to st.
Elizabeth's for mental observation.
She denies trying to force him
to go.
Yost's bill, which asks divorce
on the grounds of desertion, and
which was filed by Henry Gilligan.
declares that Mrs. Yost and her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Lorin A..
Brown, with whom she now lives,
compelled him to go to st. Eliza
beth's and exerted every influence
to have him declared insane. He
denies her charges of cruelty.

SCHOOL BAN

The Board of Education yesterday
recommended that all nonresident
pupils be barred from District schools
until facilities are adequate to care
for every Washington child. p. c.
Graham, president Of the board, OPP
posed the resolution.
DR.. Frank Ballou, superintendent.
pointed out that there now Is a bllI
in Congress, Endorsed by the District
Commissioners, requiring payment OF
tuition by nonresident pupils. and
Mr.. Graham said the board should
postpone action pending decision on
this bill. He also declared appropria'
lions for the schools depended largely
on the attitude of Maryland and Vir-
ginia Congressman and 1t would be
bad policy to antagonize them.
Charles F. Carusi held. however,
that the board should face the ques.
ton squarely.f He was supported
by H. B. Learned.
The Junior high school hours were
changed from $3.50 a. m. to 8 a. M,
the recess cut to minutes and clos
ing time set at 3 o'clock. The board
also decided to ask the views of par
ents on the proposition to extend
school hours and lessen home work.

ESSAYS SHOW
THOUGHT

If you are one Of the persons
who believe this younger generation
Of ours is going to the damnition
bow-wowS, here is a positive cure
for that opinion.
Just read some of the essays on
''Why Go to College" which are be-
ing submitted by school boys and
girls in The Times Essay Contest.
Spurred on by the hope Of getting
one of the two 500 prizes, Wash
ington schooIboys and school girls
are really thinking about this prob
lem and putting their thoughts on
paper.
Many of them have read or seen
the stage production of Brown OF
Harvard" and they use Brown as
basis for discussion and COM
parison with their ideal OF a college
career. A film version of this pic
ture will begin next Sunday at
Loew's Palace Theater.
Essays should not exceed 100
words.
That isn't great deal Of writ
ing, but you'll find that it's rider
to get your idea across in Just a
few words than in whole lot
more.
One of these prizes will go to the
boy who writes the best essay, and
one to the girl.
The essays must be in the office
of the College Essay Contest Editor,
at The Times office, by 10 p. M,
April 20. The following Saturday
the winners will be announced in
The Times.
