SMYRNA HIGH SCHOOL ANNEX
USED FOR FIRST TINE soon
TWO STORY ADDITION Is
FINE APPOINTED STRUCTURE
Will Fulfill a Long Felt Need in
Relieving Congestion in Fifth,
Sixth and Seventh Grades


the new two-story brick addi-
tion to Smyrna's New High School
Building has about been completed
and will be turned over to the
Board of Education and used for
the first time the latter part Of
this week or first of next. The
new addition, providing six rooms
was built by ]. Roland Dashiell of
Salisbury, Md, at cost of over
$4,000. In addition to this $5,-
z95 has been expended for furni-
ture and equipment The annex
is in every way a part Of the
main structure, making the whole
building have larger and more
commanding appearance. The new
rooms are finely finished with all
the appointments that other
rooms in the main building have.
including the latest improvements
il lighting effects, heat, ventila-
ton and sanitary plumbing. 1t is
really fine addition to the school
building and a credit not only to
the Faculty and School Board, but
to the contractors as well. The
building was to have been COM
pleted during the summer months
and ready for occupancy at the
opening of the school term on
Monday, September the eighth,
but the contractors were handi-
capped in getting the necessary
plumbing and electric work done.
1t therefore made it necessary to
withhold the annex for use a
month longer than expected. How
ever the new addition is about
ready, looking sphinx and span
with its new curtains, desks,
chairs and school furnishings and
is being much admired The "an-
mex" promises to fulfill a long-felt
need in relieving congestion. For
several years, almost since the
new school building was built,
Supt. @. w. w. Schantz and his
Faculty, has been pressed for
room due to the increasing enroll
ment coming from not only Smyr-
ma but throughout Smyrna Special
School District. They have had
to use rooms in the old building
which they had discarded. Some
of the class meetings had to be
held in the basement. With the
six-room addition the work at the
school will be facilitated greatly.
One of the rooms will be used by
Miss Carolyn VanPelt, section
one fifth grade; one by Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Pryor, section 2, fifth grade;
one by Miss Bessie Matthews, sec
tion /, sixth grade, and one by
Mrs. Doris t. Smith, section z,
sixth grade; one by Miss Helen P.
Start for Junior High Mathemat-
les, and one by Miss Anna Sutton
for social subjects. Besides the
new school annex, a number of
have been made to
school grounds. One of the most
of these is the drain
age. Heretofore the walks to the
two buildings, old and new, had
been flooded by rain storms with
water. In the future this will be
taken care of by draining the sur
face water into a dry well which
will free the walks from wet and
mud which has been SO annoying
in the past.

Plans to erect a new group Of
buildings involving the expendi-
tire of $3o,ooO,00O, for George
Washington University in the
near future were made public
today upon the departure of
Cloyd H. Marvin, president of
the George Washington Univer-
sity, for Geneva, Switzerland.
DR.. Marvin is to- give a series
of lectures on the Monroe Doc
trine before the Institute of the
League of Nations at Geneva.
It is planned that the new
University buildings will be built
on a colonial style to carry out
the name of George Washington
University. The proceedings for
the purchase of a tract of land
to be made into a beautiful cam
pus are to go underway soon.
: The money, it was learned, is
to be raised entirely from private
sources.
Before leaving for Geneva nr.
Marvin completed the entire re-
organization of the University
( into group colleges" which he
said will make the University the
first school to succeed in such
plans. In past years other colleges
have tried this reorganization
but none has succeeded In com
pleting it, he said. 49,.
Hereafter the Freshmen and
Sophmore years will form the
Junior College" and the Junior
Senior and Post Graduate years
will form the Columbian Col
lege." Besides these two distinct
schools there has been formed a
department for independent
studies.

Britain Waits Test
Conjecture and interest grew
throughout Britain-a Britain
that at one moment grieved the
loss of we'll loved writer, gentle
man, scholar, and traveller; and
at the next moment viewed with
growing interest the practical
test to which his firm belief in
communication with the living
after death could now be put.
Il know perfectly well that /
am going to have conversation
with father" his son Adrian
said. Father fully believed
that when he passed over he
would continue to keep in
touch with us. There is no
question but that he will speak
often to us just as he did be-
fore he died.
Message Expected
1--WE will miss his footsteps
and his physical presence, but
that is all; otherwise, he might
only have gone to Australia.

Death for the average man is
the beginning of his true and

The late Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, who died suddenly at his
home in Crowborough, Sussex,
yesterday, said this in a recent
interview which the London Daily
Herald published today.
In this true and happy life" j"
Sir Arthur pointed out:
"He's not changed or trans

uncomfortable hell for a hardly
less uncomfortable heaven.
He finds natural life In
homely surroundings in which
he develops his own natural
powers.
Death makes no change"

his passing.

death but a transition that will

CITY DUST RATED
FAIRLY HEALTHFUL
Scientists Study Hazards to
Public in Particles in Va.
rious Atmosphere.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated PreSS.
To the lowly dust beneath the feet
the United States Public Health Serv-
ice has turned its scientific attention.
Results of four dust studies, conduct
ed by DR.. L. r. Thompson, chief of the
scientific research staff, have just gone
to press and will emerge in bulletin
form within the next few weeks.
They concern municipal dust, or dust
of the city streets; hard and soft coal
dust; cotton dust, and silver polishing
dust-all considered as possible hazards
to health.
A safe limit of somewhere between
9 and 20 million particles Of dust per
cubic foot was established. Ventila-
ton was said to be the only method of
keeping air Trimmed out sufficiently to
be safe for breathing.
Highest concentrations of dust were
found in coal mining, both hard and
soft. The research experts reported no
great excess Of sickness among those
breathing this coal dust, but said there
did appear to be "a, slowly developing
fibrosiS" among persons exposed TO 1t.
But the metal dust OF the silver pol
ishing plant, the vegetable dust OF the
cotton plant and the pavement dust
to which street sweepers are exposed
appeared to have no harmful effects
upon the workers." the health experts
found. In these cases usual concen-
trationS were said to be relatively low
and well within the safe limit" set
forth by the Public Health Service.
Earlier studies had established GER
tain dusts as definitely poisonous. one
being lead dust in storage battery
plants and In potteries. Silica dust was
also found to be harmful.

CUBAN SUGAR RELIEF
PLAN STRIKES SNAG
House Fails to Get Quorum to Pass
Laws for Handling Surplus
Production.
BY the Associated Press.


HAVANA, october 24-The fate Of
the plan devised by Thomas l.. Chad
bourne for the sterilization of the Gu
ban sugar industry hung in the balance
last night while desperate efforts were
made to obtain legislation on the financ-
ing of the $42,O0O,0O0 project before
the November elections.
The Cuban House Of Representatives
was convened In a special session to dis
cuss law drawn up by the Chadbourne
committee, but a quorum was not OBJ
tanned.
Unless the committee Is able to put
the measure through Congress within
the next few days, 1t is feared Cuban
planters viii lose much Of their original
enthusiasm for the plan, which at
tempts to relieve the market of surplus
sugar and stabilize prices.
The failure of the House to get q
quorum and prepare the measure for
the Senate disappointed many planters
who expected to contribute TO the plan.
