TOWEL PROBLEM
AFFECTS SCHOOLS
Millions on Hand, but Con-
tainers Are Too Small
to Fit Them.

due to a "slip-up" by the general
supply committee, the paper towel
containers in all public schools will
remain empty until after the Christ
mas holidays, it was developed at the
Franklin School today.
Several million paper towels which
were delivered to school authorities
during the Summer have been found
entirely too large to fit 1.-THE contain
ers. with the result that fvery school
principal has been Instructed by DR..
Frank w. Ballou. superintendent, TO
use individual judgment in rationing
out the towels.
School Forms Late.
Coincident with this revelation, il
was learned that the school system
faces n lack of necessary forms for
the opening of the schools Monday.
with the result that the Government
Printing Office. which has had the
order since early in the Summer, has
been compelled to put on double
shifts in an effort to fill the order.
Mai. Raymond O. Wilmarth. bust
ness manager of the school system,
said today that he has received posi-
tive assurance from the Government
Printing Office that all the forms
necessary will be in by Saturday.
Mai Wilmarth declared today that
the General Supply Committee has
furnished thousands of dollars worth
of supplies to the system during the
Summer promptly and satisfactorily.
It is presumed that the committee
took it for granted that the school
towel receptacles We're of the same
size as those in the Government de-
partmentS.
After the towel situation was
brought to the attention of DR.. Ballou,
the school superintendent issued this
explanatory statement to all princi-
pals of buildings:
Nothing Can BE Done.
"The paper towels now being deliv-
cred To the public schools were fur
nished by the general supply commit
tee. When the public schools furnish
ed the requirements to the general
supply committee they specified the
size towel required to fit the con.
tainers in school buildings. When
the towels were delivered at the ware
house by the general supply commit
tee, it was found that they were Of
a different size and type than the
| towels heretofore purchased by the
District OF Columbia. The matter
was taken up Immediately with the
general supply committee, through
the proper District officials, and 1t was
found that nothing could be done to
relieve the situation at this time.
These towels have, therefore, been
issued to the schools.
The paper towel containers now
in the school buildings will not hold
| this type and size of towel and the
appropriations available will not per.
nit of the purchase and instalIa tion
Of new set of paper towel holders.
Principals Of buildings are request.
ed to Use the towels being issued to
the best advantage, even though II
will not be possible TO place them
| in the containers now in the build
| ings. An additional order of paper
| towels will be placed with the gen
eral supply committee during the
| year, and every endeavor will be made
on this second order to secure towels
that will fit the existing equipment" "

EIaborating on his statement that
Congress should have been called fol
lowing the Mississippi flood, Senator
Caraway said that while he was not
unynindful Of the generosity Of those
who had contributed TO the relief OF
the stricken area, - did net believe
the Government should have put the
people Of the food zone in the posi-.
ton of accepting charity.
Senator Caraway said his position
on the question of flood control and
prevention legislation Is that the Gov
ernment should do what the indivi.
duals of that large section are unable
to do for themselves. He also ex'
pressed the view that the Government
should render the same character OF
assistance to the people along the
Mississippi, who are trying to culti
vate land, where there Is possibility
OF an overflow of water as is rendered
in the West, where the people are
striving to obtain water to cultivate

WOULD HOLD AREAS
FOR PARK SYSTEM
Senate Bills Reserve Forts
Washington, Hunt and Foote
for Public Use.

Two pending bills designed to save
Forts Washington, Hunt and Foote,
on the Potomac River just below
Washington, to be made part OF the
park system of the National Capital,
will be taken up at hearing before
the Senate military affairs committee
at 1890 o'clock Friday morning.
Both bills were sponsored by Sen
ator Capper, chairman of the District
committee. One measure authorizes
a straight purchase of Forts Hunt
and Washington by the Park Com
mission from the War Department
at their appraised value.
Provisions of Second Bill.
The second bill, which Senator Cap
per introduced later, would treat the
transaction simply as a bookkeeping
transfer, inasmuch as the fort sites
are already Government property and
would remain Government property II
made a part of the park system. This
measure would transfer Forts Wash
ington and Foote, in Maryland, and
Fort Hunt, Va, to the Park Commits
sion and the appraised value of the
forts would be credited to the mill
tary post construction fund of the
War Department. The second bill
contemplates use of a part of Fort
Washington by the Bureau of Fish
cries for operation Of fish hatchery.
including public exhibition of fish
ponds and breeding in connection with
the park.
Eliminated From Sale.
The danger OF Forts Hunt and
being sold to private
owners before they could be acquired
for park purposes was imminent early
last year, but the Budget Bureau has
since directed the War Department to
eliminate those two sites from the list
of old forts to be disposed of imme.

losing them for park purposes:
