An Enrolment Of 1885 Pupils
Incur Public Schools
More schoOIs and More Teachers Are Imperatiye

The midwiuter term Of Washngton public schools just

Of 782 over this time year ago.
The steady unceasng growth Of Washington revealed in
these figures Just few years ago thought that
xOlment Of 10000 pupils was wonderful
The figures should animate the people Of Washington to-
give unsnted support at all times TO the upbuding Of our
school system which is still years behind ia school buildings
and in the necessary number Of teachers.
Why Congress should attempt TO slash the estimates Of the
Budget Bureau for school buildings and additional
teachers beyond explanation except that there swa

Washington children to the number Of several thousand
are getting part time instruction schools because Of
geon due to shortage Of school and teachers That
this is un-American and unfair is beyond dispute.
When the District Appropriation bill for the next fiscal
year finally gets through the congressional processes there
should be no shortage Of funds for any Of the necessary
activities in schools
The school estimates submitted to the Commissioners by the
Board Of Education gone carefully The Commits

pruned them to the limit.
Under these conditions it is anything but just right the

Unemployment Registers for
Civil Service EMPLOYEES

Giving preference civil service workers separated from
their positions because Of reduction Of force the right and
proper thing
IN signing executive order directing the Civil Service
Commission to maintain unemployment registers the President
has done exactly what this newspaper has sought for years
Under this order competent employees who have lost their
positions through reduction Of force will have preference over
eigbes on other registers and will be certified for appoint
ments when there are vacancies.
The Civil Service Commission in agreement with the
President In this matter and will doubtless see that the pur
pose Of the Presidents order is not disobeyed
It IS not in keeping with busnesslke methods to bring
new civil service appontees to Washington when old and
trained employees losing their positions and may have to
leave Washington to hunt for employment results in dis
rupton Of domestic arrangements and unfair those who
be permanent.
Bringing appointees to Washington while force rsduc-
tons going unfair to those breaking up their homes
turbed in their positions These appontees are Just as
likely to become the victims Of force reductions old en-
ployes.

Java, whom some persons have
looked upon as the missing

Professor Osborn says he Is glad
to be ''the first to hefriend the

Age, and to remove from his
reputation the bar sinister of
ape descent"
Here then, is our true ancestor,
so the feelings of certain sensi.

Professor Osborn's words: The
ape ancestry hypothesis Is en-

is taken by the recent demon
stration that we are descended
from 'dawn-men, not from ape

NEGOTIATIONS

NOTHING gives a girl such an

a man kiss her, just ONCE.
The best way to keep the moth
out of the emotions, as well as
out of. the clothes, is to USE
them occasionally.
The old.fashioned girl of twenty.
five was still dreaming of her
golden future; now the only com.
fort q girl Of that age enjoys is
in remembering that she was
once a. flapper.
The college sheik looks as
though he would some day grow
up to be the kind of husband
who holds the ladder while his
wife puts up the portiers, and
kisses away her tears while she
peels the onions.
No man is less able to explain
his old love.letters than he who
wrote them. In fact, he won't
even BELIEVE he wrote them,
until his wife shows him the sig.

The good hater went out Of
fashion along with bustles, cor

an engagement politely and good
humoredly, these days, and turn
each other over to the lucky rival,
with sigh Of relief at what they
have escaped.

the bridegroom who was married

Many man has cautiously
