c. v. A. Job SLASH
TO AFFECT 2,4OO
District and Federal Pro-
grams to Be Divorced
Under Revision.

Plans for reduction Of the number
of civil works employees in the Ma
tional Capital were revised last night
when an agent of the Federal C. w.
A. approved separation Of the District
and Federal programs and agreed to
a new quota for municipal opera
tions, effective Thursday.
The new arrangements, expected to
be confirmed tomorrow in an official
order to the District Commissioners
from Harry L. Hopkins, Federal head
of the c. w. A.. provide for continu-
alton of the District program to
May /.
Providing the latest plans are
ordered into effect. the Districts net
job quota, now $4,000, will be reduced
to $4,000, to remain in force until
further notice. but into this quota
the District would have to squeeze
1,400 jobs transferred from the Ma
tional Parks Office.
Reduction of 2, 400 Jobs.
Actually, therefore, with the as
sumption by the District of the 400
parks workers. there must be a re-
duction of 2.400 jobs when the net
District quota is cut to $4,000. Off
cials explained The District agreed
to take over the 400 parks jobs. to
assure completion of nine projects,
after orders were issued for reduction
of the Federal c. w. A.
The gross quota of jobs in the Dis
trict has been 10000, of which ap-
proximately 10000 actually have been
filled. but Of this number some 5000
had been allotted for Federal works
here.
The Federal civil works roll here.
as distinguished from the District
quota, is to be reduced under instruc-
tions to be given directly to heads of
Federal departments by Hopkins. in
keeping with general rehabilitation
orders. Just how many Federal C.
w. A. workers here would be affected
at this time could not be ascertained
last night.
Change Is Approved.
The change in the District program
was approved early last night by Cor
rington Gill. assistant to Administra-
tor Hopkins, following conferences
with Capt Howard F. Clark executive
officer of the District c. w. A, and
William c. Cleary, head of the As

yesterday in looping $2000,000 off
the lump sum for transportation of

The Appropriations Committee re-
duced the airmail transportation

that the 100000 cut in the 1885
appropriation was predicated on es-
tablishing a Accent per mile rate.
The Treasury-Post Office bill prob
ably will not come up in the Senate

Preliminary Survey
for Storm Sewer
Present System In Western Part OF
City Is MISUNDERSTANDING
Other Plans

A preliminary survey Of Sank
Centre Is being made this week for
the possible construction Of new
storm sewer, which will be used
for the drainage Of the western
part of the city. The members of
the City Council hope to work out
project whereby at least part
Of the new system may be built.
At present the storm sewer in the
western part Of the city Is made
quate to care for the drainage. The
survey will determine the low
points and the necessary construc-
ton for drainage in that part Of
Sank Centre.
It will probably be necessary to
start the new system at the corner
Of Walnut and Third Streets and
continue to Elm Street thence south
one block to Fourth Street to
drain part OF the city.
Other plans for drainage In the
city are also being considered in
the system, especially in the neigh
borhood Of the Public School, where
each time after heavy rains the
water rushes over the sidewalks
and covers the road, making traffic
almost impossible.

Will Also Build Skating
Kinks with Relief
Labor

The Community Club met in
regular session in the club rooms
last week Thursday evening, at
which time several projects Of vital
interest to the community were
discussed.
The first of these, as President
Roy Scott stated, pertained to the
matter of building skating Kinks in
the city for the younger boys and
girls. This work can be done with
relief labor, and Chief George Fish,
of the fire department, stated that
his organization would be willing
to cooperate with the flooding. of
any number Of skating Kinks. The
club members voted to sponsor the
project.
A lighted athletic field, especially
a lighted football field, has be-
come a necessity in order to pro-
fitably continue sports, and the
club decided to sponsor a minstrel
show to raise money for this pur-
pose. The date of the show will be
announced later. A committee con-
sisting Of Coach Harvey and e. Oh
son, Of the Public School, was ap-
pointed to act with the parks COM
mittee in selecting and laying out a
site for the proposed field.
A poultry or turkey day was also
discussed and the matter was given
to committee Of two, who were to
get the opinion of the business men
as to advisability of sponsoring the
event. Pres. Scott, and the Messrs.
Ryan, Holcombe and Bonaime mot
ored to Alexandria, Osakis, and
Long Prairie recently for the pur-
pose of getting first-hand knowledge
or turkey days, which have been
sponsored in the cities mentioned.
Robert Newman then stated that
eighty-four young men Of the city
were ready to become members Of
the club, providing that certain inn
provements could be made. He read
a list Of "a names Of young men,
who have signed to affiliate with
the club. The young men ask that
the three rooms on the west and
front of the building be remodeled
and made into one large room to be
used as club for members only.
It is planned to have reading and
card tables for the use of members
and their friends. The club mem
bers voted in favor Of the propo-
sition, and a committee was APP
pointed to get figures for material.
It is said that work can also be
done by relief labor. The plan en-
tails the. removal Of partitions and
the closing of the arched doorway
so that the three rooms will be
made into one large room.
The matter Of closing the stores
on Armistice Day was then present
ed and the majority Of those pres
ent voted in favor Of the motion,
after which the club was adjourned.

Practical Application of
Mathematics TN Senior High

should fit the student for the math-
ematics Of the senior high school.
It Is very important and cannot be
overemphasized that algebra is a
prerequisite for the scientific stu
dies Of physics and chemistry, as
well as the advanced mathematics
in high schools, and therefore
should be required in the ninth
grade so that any student who lat
err evidences interest In these stu
dies will be equipped to perform
the computation necessary. There
has been a decided opinion as to
the importance of this study Of
algebra In the ninth grade, but
I. for one, hope that algebra Is
definitely basic requirement IN
the curriculum for that year, now,
and for all time.
Geometry, advanced ALGEBRA, solid
geometry and trigonometry are Of
fered In the senior high school. The
first two are full year subjects, and
the latter two are half year. In
schools where the last three are
not taught every year, advanced al
zebra IL alternated with solid ge-
ometry and trigonometry. In the
Sank Centre high school the latter
system Is used, advanced aIbegra
being offered to the students this
year. The enrolment in geometry
at the present is twenty-five, in adj
