Pupils Employ knowledge
of Numbers in Every
Branch of Trade.

knowledge OF numbers was the
only ticket for admittance to an
unique entertainment sponsored by
arithmetic classes at School No. IS,
at 2901 North Capitol avenue, today
They called it the arithmetic bazaar.
Repetition of the multiplication
tables by a chorus of childish voices
might be a humdrum of noises to
the average listener, but it is music
to ears Of teachers at the school.
Long hours had been spent in class
rooms manipulating digitS in
preparation for today's event at
which the bright boys, who love
arithmetic, had chance to show
off"
The chief objective Of the bazaar
was to provide opportunity for the
pupils to display their mathematical
experience, but the presence of
booths and speciality statesmen gave
the event the flavor of an "old
settlers" picnic.
Pupils used their arithmetic
knowledge In all phazeS Of prepara-
ton for the event. They kept &C
curate accounts of every penny
spent in construction of booths, and
getting articles ready for sale. The
school bank slogan of wise and
economic spending was brought into
use,
Other departments of the school
aided in the event. Domestic science
classes sold candy and cookies, and
at one booth, pupils interested in
study of milk and its use for health
assumed the roles of milkmaids and
sold milk. At laundry, toy and
Christmas novelty booths the man
ual training, art and sewing classes
exhibited their wares. Every part
of the school was represented, but
those who knew their numbers ruled
the day.

Commercial Course Favored.

Night school classes for adults at
Manual Training high school have
a total enrolment of 544 men and
women this term.
OF this number 270 are men and
274 women. Commercial classes

more than double the size in any
other subject. Glasses in English
for foreigners rank next with
l,inety- eight students.

taking advantage of the opportunity
to learn the language at night while
continuing daily work.
Trade extension and naturaliZa-
ton courses also attract large num-
berS. In trade courses, practical
subjects are studied with the view of
helping the student in his daily
work. Fifty-seven persons are &C
curing a knowledge of this coun-
try through the naturalization
course, thirty-seven of whom are
men and twenty women.

Twenty eight rounds of fighting are provided for in the American Legion July smoker card made public today by Matchmaker Tom Shearer. But Tom isn't promising that the whole 23 will go on the boards since he expects some of the bouts will end with kayos before they go their scheduled distance.
 There are five bouts on the card, and each of them looks to be un- usually good. There are several new names in the list, worn by men who will appear here for the first time All of them have excellent ring records and those who have worked out locally in training ap- parently have the goods to back up their claims.
 Four out of the ten fighters are from the Army and Navy, two from each branch of the service. Olson, from Chilkoot Barracks, is match ed in the main bout with Joe Col Her. Ralston, of the Navy Mappers, takes on Joe Leyson, Filipino cham pion, in one of the semi-finals, and Stattinger, of the Navy meets Sci bert of the Army in the second semi-final. All three of these bouts are unusually high class.

Irrigation Study
Circular Issued

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-THE
causes Of financial difficulties in
many irrigation districts and the
method by which they may be
remedied have been studied by the
United States department OF agri-
culture and the results set forth in
circular No. 72-C, Financial Set
Elements Of Defaulting Irrigation
enterprises" by Wells A. Hutchins,
associate irrigation economist of the
division OF agricultural engineering.
The study was undertaken with n
view to correcting conditions which
have arisen on irrigation projects
as a result of the severe and pro-
tracted depression in agriculture
which followed the expansion Incl
dent to the World war.
Irrigation enterprises fail for
many reasons. Some Of the more
common causes. the study shows,
are an inadequate water supply for
the area included in the project; ir-
rigation charges too high when add
ed to the cost Of the land and i'm
provements: inclusion in the project
Of land unsuited for agriculture;
and unforeseen engineering diff
cultieS.
It Is pointed out that a financial
reorganization, to effect g complete
cure, must go to the root of the
evil and correct the basic cause of
default. Measures that fail to do
this leave the way open to further
trouble, even though providing tenn
porary relief.
