Only a little more than months old
the Weightman School for Cripples falls
far short of being housed and equipped
like modern schools of this type in 9TH
err cities. 1t occupies four rooms on
the first floor of the Weightman School
Building, Twenty-third and M streets
an antiquated structure, poorly lighted
poorly heated and dingy in appearance
inside and out.
Two of the rooms are used for class
work. There is combined first. sec

has a combined fourth, fifth and sixth
grade with IL boys and girls.
The only public school for white Grip
pied children in the District, it CORE
spends to the Magruder school for COL
ored crippled children.
Five of the children in the Weight
man School use wheeled chairs. three
of them never leaving the chairs while
in the school. There is no table high
enough to be used by the children in
wheeled chairs. The Star reporter was
informed that tables are being con-
structed that will remedy this need. At
present the children in these chairs
write on boards laid across the chair

provided in both class rooms, but more
is needed.
One room, used as a rest room, has
some physiotherapy equipment 1t is
provided with cots on which the chill
dren can recline when they are tired
or unwell.
The other room on this floor, now va
cant, will be fitted later as a gymnasium
and treatment room 1t is hoped to in
stall equipment for hydrotherapy and
electrotherapy in this room.
While beginning has been made
toward establishment of a properly
equipped and housed school for crippled
children. the Weightman School is al
most entirely lacking in the things that
a modern school of this kind IS sup
posed to have, according to the teach
ing personnel.
The building itself, the second floor
OF which Is used for regular classes of
physically normal children, is one of
the oldest and worst equipped in the
city. 1t Is heated by four old-fashioned
hot-air furnaces. The heat is very
uneven. Sometimes parts of the build
ing are too hot or too cold. SCOT and
coal gas are abundant. Frequently the
air in the class rooms Is blue with smoke
and the teachers and pupils find diff
Guilty in breathing.
Small toilets have been provided on
the main floor for the crippled chill
dren, so that they do not have to use
the old type toilets in the unheated
basement. The crippled students are

calibers of battleships.
AS to postponing requirements over

Reed voiced less enthusiasm on his
Governments behalf. The American
attitude that battleships are the core
of the fleet" was presented strongly.
Because of the United States few and
far-fiung naval bases in the Pacific, it
was shown to the Japanese that the
United States looks upon battleshipS
as floating fortified bases to be sent
across the seas in emergencies.
The Americans regard them as
weapons not only capable of giving
punishment. but more particularly of
taking punishment. They are in short.

possibly discuss the abolition of sub

fensive requirements call for 10000 tons

Same Objections Elsewhere.
The japanese have run into the same
objections to their 1O-7 cruiser de-
mands at the hands of Great Britain
and especially British dominions like
Australia, New Zealand and Canada, as
they are encountering from America.
The Japanese delegation regrets that

must be based on the higher American
total. Consequently, If the United

per cent Of the British total or prac-
tically as many as England would
possess 1t is we'll understood in Lon
don that such figures never would be
acceptable to Britain. Australia and
New Zealand would not consent to an
agreement that would result in OUT
numbering of the British cruiser
strength in the Pacific by Japan. or
even in equalizing the two fleets.
1t needs always to be borne in mind

American delegation is fully conscious
of the local political situation, where

his one sound hip fractured in a

1t was the second time in the As or
so years he has lived and worked in
that old shop that Freddy" Bex has
been dealt blow by the cold. Two
wears ago he was so badly frost-bitten
that they had to amputate his leg just
above the knee over at Gallinger Hos
pital. That's why he was hobbling on
a crutch last night.
He had gone TO the door he told
them at Casualty Hospital, where they
took him this time, TO get "a feel o.

slid from under him on the ice that
cruSted the doorstep. He fell, he said.
and couldn't get up. SO he lay there
an hour, in agony with that same old
cold that clawed one leg off biting al
his remaining leg.

alley and found him. AT Casually,

TREASURY 0. BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE.
Patman of Texas Defeated in
Fight to Reduce Ocean
Mail Contracts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Echoes of bitter prohibition con-
troversy and contentious Of Federal
substituting on ocean mail contracts
were hardly stilled in the House yester-
day before the $1,147,778,692 annual
TreaSury-PoSt ONCE Department supply
bill was passed and sent to the Senate.
A determined effort by Representative
Patman, Democrat of Texas, to reduce
the appropriation for ocean mail con-
tracts followed closely a long after
moons debate over dry enforcement
for which $l5,00O,000 was voted
The Texans amendment to slash the
appropriation for ocean mail contracts
from $28, 100000 to sci, 400 900 was de-
feated by a division vote, Sc to IA.
Later Patman forestalled a vote for
final passage of the supply bill with a
motion to recommit it for amendment
to the same intent. His motion shouted
down, he demanded first division and,
losing again, a quorum call. On the
quorum call this motion was defeated,
17S to 90.
Viva VOce Approval.
BY viva voce vote the House then ap-
proved the bill, which provided $3l2.-
284,6l5 for the Treasury Department,
including the prohibition fund, and
S635.494,077 for the Post ONCE De-
partment. The sum for the Treasury
Department represents a decrease of
s5,371 ,9l9 and that for the Post Once
Department an increase of $17,478,352.
as compared with appropriations for the
current year.
Debate was turned to the merchant
marine policy of the Government with
Patman's motion to reduce the appro-
priation for ocean mail contracts. The
intent OF his amendment, he said. was
70 prevent the carrying out Of contem-
plated contracts.
"A glaring example of subsidy" he
said, may be pointed out in the case
Of recent ocean mail contracts. where
the owners of one vessel received from
the government SLABS for transport
ing few pounds Of mail-a service that
was worth S7.1o."
