Possibility Of curb on the number
and kinds Of essay contests in which
public school pupils participate appeared
at yesterdays board session, when con-
sideration was given the application Of
the Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton for permission to establish q prize
essay contest. DR.. Ballou proposed that
such contests be made the subject of
competition between schools rather
than between individuals in their own
II this proposal be not adopted by the
A. r. contest anyway. The proposal
was taken under consideration by the
board after DR.. Abram Simon, member,
remarked that If the number Of con-
tests continues, 1t will be necessary ito
take an inventory to find out how much
of = pupils time Is taken up by these
competitions"
Dr. Ballou also asked for a ruling
on scholarship offers to public schools
Such scholarships, he pointed out, are
offered merely to attract attention Of
the public schools to the specific insti-
tuition. He contended also that merely
by accepting proffered scholarship the
School Board lends q kind of approval
to the institution. If such scholarships
are to be accepted generally without in
vestigation. Dr. Ballou pointed out, he
and his associates would be relieved of
responsibility in connection with the
scholarships But If he and his officers
are expected to examine into the
amount, quality and character Of edu-
cation" presented in the scholarships.
DR.. Ballou said he wanted the board to
set up definite plan for the accom-
agreed to launch a study Of the
question.

annual meeting yesterday.

The Americans. he said, were dump

States Shipping Board report showing
that American taxpayers had paid more
than $25,000,000 every year for five
years preceding June, 1928, to make up
the losses in operating and laying up
American ships.
In particular, Sir Alan attacked the
three new ships which are being put on
the San Francisco, Honolulu, New Zea-
land, Australia run by the Matson Line
at, it is said, a cost Of SIS, 5,000,0 900.
IF the Matson Line had found money
themselves" Sir Alan declared, "or even
been charged interest upon it at the
normal rates, or were In any serious
risk of having to pay the eventual loss.

"Moist Throat"
Found Secret
OfCough Relief

! Your throat and bronchial tubes
are lined with millions of pores like
+ tiny bottles continually supplying
moisture to the delicate tissues
until you "catch cold."
Then these bottles" get plugged
up, phlegm accumulatcs. affording
dangerous germs a breeding place.
Your throat feels hot and dry. Tick
ling. irritation and coughing set in.
Your cough will be cured only
when the flow of the natural fluid is
increased. looscning the phlegm so
that it can be expelled. Many cough
remedies" contain numbing drugs
which merely deaden the nerves :.
but don't get at the root of the
trouble.
/ PERTUssIN, scientific remedy,
which doctors have prescribed for
many years, is the extract Of a ia
nous herb which opens the tiny
glands, stimulates the flow of the
! throat's natural moisture and brings
quick relief. 1t helps nature heal
that cough from the inside out.
When you feel that awrning dry

This button idea seems to

will have to see what can be
done about it. Our greatest
trouble seems to be in deciding
upon the design for the but
ton. So far only one design,
that by Norman Bennett, has
been submitted by the club
members.
We liked Norman's idea (you
remember, it was a tomahawk
and gun crossed above an air
plane), but we think the other
members ought to1Y4ave an op-
portunity to suggest ideas.
How about coming across with
a few suggestions, boys and
girls?
You kids seem to be good at
suggesting. Everything but but.
ton designs. Here is Robert
Grantham with a plan for
club baseball team, and Norman
Bennett with ideas about a club
orchestra. Both schemes are
good and can, we hope, be
worked out some time in the
future. Right now both are i'm
practical. The club is too new
and the members too widely
scattered. It wouldn't be fair to
have either a baseball team or
orchestra for just the boys and
girls in Washington leaving out
of-town members out in the
cold.
You see we have to think of
them. We have a number of
members in not only nearby
Maryland and Virginia, but as
far North as Massachusetts, and
as far as South Carolina in the
other direction.
We can't ignore those boys
and girls, all active members of
our club. And. we haven't
worked out plan yet that will
