Protects Records.

Miss Brown held up for the inspection Of the
Hobby Club scarlet square of flannel en-
broidered with colored flowers and notes Of
music.
Girls, am going to tell you the little story
Of how came to make this record cover. One
Summer was camping with the Girl Guides
on the shores of one of those steel blue lakes
which are almost too glorious to describe. One
night we were all sitting around our camp
fire. and were all as happy as could be singing
popular song to the accompaniment of a
phonograph. Suddenly the record seemed to
play some horribly discordant notes. It Jared
on US and we ceased singing for a moment
to stop the machine
Why, this record must have got damp

ago. some one remarked. OF course, that was
the reason. We played the records and then
laid them on the grass. When got to bed

Great Mouth, Tiny Throat

OF course we know it was a divine miracle if
Jonah lived in a whales stomach for
three days, but now we know 1t was a miracle
too If he ever got swallowed in the first place!
You all know that whale is large, but did
you know that q man could stand upright
well inside Q whales jaws, or that a small
boat and its crew could sail right through and
never scrape keel? All that's well enough
But whales throat is very small-no larger
than an ordinary tea cup, and the passage
way to his stomach wouldn't any more than
allow q walking stick to be thrust down it.

records, for the paper covers were at best thin.
Quick Is fash thought, why not make
covers out of flannel?
Next morning I got out my work basket
and found some odd scraps of colored flannel
I took the paper record cover, cut the material
to the same shape and sewed it up like a bag.
Then embroidered some silk flowers edged
with beads and also some notes of music. The
finished product, which was exactly like the
paper cover in shape, was both artistic and
Serviceable."

brightest ideas you have yet given to the club

ments will be carried out. These con-
ditions are to be expected in a grow
ing. prosperous city.
las an indication of the progress that
is being made let me cite one situation
In 1920 there were $50 part-time classes
in the District schools. That number
has now been reduced to 221. all of
which are first or second grade pupils
The entire tendency now among school
people is toward shorter school hours
for the younger pupils. No material
harm is being done these children. The
condition of the schools is the best it
has been for long series of years and
they are constantly improving.
THE budget shares the view of this
committee that more SchOolrOon1s
should be provided and fewer accessories
IN proportion to the total of the bill.
New elementary rooms are needed in
the area where the Business High School
now is. With the abandonment of that
school as contemplated by the erection
OF new business high school. the
budget felt that that building should
be devoted to elementary school uses
and the classroom condition in that area
relieved. They have so provided in the
bill. In that decision We concur If at
later date better use can be made
of the building the provision can be
changed. In the meantime we will not
be losing on the number of elementary
classrooms devoted to classroom work.
Since September /. 1923, 70 new
schoolrooms have been opened. with Sit
ting space for 2,100 pupils Buildings
now appropriated for. for which plans
are being made or which are in the
process of construction, provide for 1872
additional rooms and additional sitting
of 4036 pupils. This bill carries the
initiation of projects that will provide
seating capacity for 3,343 pupils. The
increase in school attendance this last
year was 1900 AS rapid progress is
being made in the building program as
is warranted"

lative committee will secure the au-
thority for the appropriation to be
made. I would like to see the appropri
alton carried in the last deficiency bill
OF this Congress to purchase the land
and begin plans for the construction
of this plan.
THE expenditure carried in this bill
by way of supplemental estimates plus
the proposed expenditure for the mu-
nicipal center will probably reduce the
surplus as far as is should be reduced
at this time
II have introduced a bill authorizing
the appropriation of $4,000, 900 for ad
ditional school buildings and grounds
The bill is without condition as to when
the appropriations are to be made or
where schools are to be located or the
kind of schools.
In certain parts of the city there is
congestion due to rapid development Of
residential areas that could not have
been anticipated. Adequate steps are
being taken to relieve those conditions.
There are 3d. 900 seats now in the Dis
trict schools. When the building pro-
gram now under way and carried in
the bill is completed there will be a
total of 10000 seats. There are not to
exceed $4,000 pupils in the District
schools. So that there is space in the
District schools for every student The
difficulty has been that in the shifting
of the population and the necessity for
maintaining independent schools for
both white and colored, often in the
same neighborhood that congestion has
arisen in certain areas That is being
corrected. but on the whole the Wash

no child is being deprived of educa-

not in lieu Of the increases granted BIZ
Congress. The Interpretation l sug.
gested was followed. The net result Of
the whole transaction was that the
District employees received under the
increases carried in the District bill last
year, $175,641. The WEIGH act added
$557,802 to the pay roll of the District
government over and above the SITS
GAL granted by the committee. The to-
tai of the two bills reaches $733, 433 in
salary increases last year in the District
government. All District employees
during the last year received one in
crease in pay, better than so per cent
received two increases and many of
them three increases.
Prior to the holding of hearings on
this bill study was given to the fiscal
condition of the District of Columbia.
Briefly, very satisfactory situation
exists. Without increases by way of
deficiency appropriations or new legis-
lation and assuming the passage of Ne
bill sent us by the Bureau of~the BudgX,
there would have been surplus in
the Treasury on June 30. 1880. of ap-

that additional appropriations from $4,-
100000 to 100000 can be made with

trict. In our Judgment those appropri-
ations should be made for needed bet
terments-they can be made without in
creased taxes in the District or the
Federal contribution.
ut is the consensus of opinion that
the city should purchase and begin the
development of municipal center. The
President has approved the plan to pur-
chase two blocks south of the present
Judiciary Square. I have introduced
the legislation that will authorize the
appropriation of the needed moneys.
The District has the money to pay the
cost of this land purchase if the legis-

ton The answer to some OF them may
be found in the report.
Clearly the report establishes that
the lump sum, and not the percentage
plan of contribution, is the proper one.
and clearly the report establishes the
fact that the present contribution is
ample and generous to the District.
The report, while decidedly favorable to
the District in every basis of calcuia-
tions clearly supports the position taken
and maintained by the House of Repre-
sentatives."
Tells of Salary Increases.
Last the year the committee. in order
to bring the employees of the District OF
Columbia up to the average of salaries
in the same grades in the Federal serv-
ice, added $121 .245 to the salary esti-
mates received from the Bureau OF the
Budget, making total of $l75,00O, Stlp-
ulating that this payment should go to
those grades where the lower salary
rates applied 1t was contemplated at
that time that an additional increase
this year of $4,000 in salaries would
be necessary to secure the expressed
desire of the committee. The increases
granted last year have been made in
accordance with the intention of the
committee. Those salary increases at
fected approximately so per cent of
the District force. At the time the
committee took that action the passage
of the WEIGH act was not contemplated.
THE WEIGH act, passed in the last
few days of the session. applied to Dis
trict as we'll as Federal employees. AS
construed and applied, it granted pay
increases to all employees of the Dis
trict, and to many employees, two in
creases in pay schedules. Following the
adjournment of Congress the question
was raised as to whether or not the
WEIGH act superseded the "step-ups"
given by the Congress in. the last Dis
trict bill. advised the District offivials
that it was my opinion that the WEIGH
act increases were in addition to. and
