Cooling Systems
A Move for Efficiency

The allotment of $oOoooo for the installation Of cooling
systems some Government buildings in the District is
step toward increasing the efficiency of the Government
service.
The investment will pay good dividends in better and
consistent work through the hot summer months.
For many years has been necessary to close several Gov
offices especially hot days during the
because conditions in of the buildings unbearabe
In virtually all of the buildings work necessarily slowed
down.
In making the allotment it is probably natural that
pendures should be confined to the Government
structures although this is unfortunate
AS long the Government insists upon using the msy
structures which built for emergency purposes during
the World War it should try to make them habitabe
It is these temporary buildings which in the worst
condition in Their low roofs and general construc
lion invite the heat to come in and stay in.
However there several of the permanent buildings in
which offices must be closed hot days and this difficulty
will probably eliminated through of the cooling systems
The fact that the temporary buildings not deemed
worthy of cooling systems should indicate clearly that the
Governments permanent building program in the District
should be specd up until it is possible to these
structures.

Feeding Children

The suggestion that Federal funds be made available for

humanity should be acted upon speedily.
Various feeble efforts have been made during the last few
years to provide the children Of destitute families with
nourishment while in the schools
Last year the ParentTeachers Associations aided by public
spirited citizens carried rather large program of child
feeding but this has been virtually stopped Teachers
have tried with their personal funds to meet the problem
welfare organizations such the Volunteers of America
have established child feeding depo to meet the MONDAY

All of these have been worthy but inadequate projects

ONCE OVERS

But there is a vast difference
in the way that children in
troduce their young friends to
their parents.
Some do it with joy, and
others quite the reverse.
Children who are pals Of
either or both parents are anx-
ious to have others learn how
nice their home folk are.
It's fine to see a boy or girl
who thinks his or her parents
are just right, and gladly pre-
sents young friends at any
time.
There is joy In the voice and
happiness in the eyes.
It will pay you big dividends.

A cowboys lament comes to
us from Billings, Montana.
Dude Rancher I. H. Larom rises
to remark that dude ranching
is headed for the last round
up if the craze for moderni"a-
ton continues at its present
pace.
Mr.. Larom halls from Valley,
Wyoming, and is president OF
the Dude Ranchmen's Associa-

of his associates, he told them
that the customers OF this
newly developed business, which
runs into many millions a year,
are demanding heated swim
ming pools, golf courses, and
breakfasts in bed, effete lux
uries which scarcely belong to
the great open spaces Where
men are men.

Larom, are killing the goose
which lays the golden egg. Let's

Thanks to the patriotic initia-
tive of the National Aeronautic
Association, the American peo-
pie will not permit the thirtieth
anniversary of the first flight
of the Wright Brothers at Kitty
Hawy, N. c., to go uncelebrated.
Under the auspices of this as
Sociation, of which Hiram Bing-
ham, formerly United States
Senator from Connecticut, is the
able president; F. Trubee Davi-
son, of New York, formerly AS
Sistant Secretary of War for
AeronauticS, the active vice
president, and Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh Of the United States,
the most distinguished member
of the advisory board, formal
celebrations will be held in more
than so cities and towns. The
main celebrations will be in the
Federal city and Dayton, Ohio.
These celebrations will take
place in Saturday, December Is,
as the anniversary of the
Wright flight falls this year on
Sunday.
