POPE PLUS IS
 HOPEFUL OF PEACE
(Continued from Page 1o

(Contlnued rom Page 1O so widely published in the press that they could not have failed to become known to those who not only desire the truth but who sin- cerely, with deep interest await 1t from us.
 Let this be taken as an admon- ition by those especially who have seemed surprised and have taken offense, as if we had not satisfied the demands of the office of teacher which has been divinely committed to us.
 Ardently Desires Peace
 we ardently desire peace con- joined with justice, truth and charity for all men of good will. We shall with all our powers seek to obtain it, and in fervent prayer we have besought 1t from the great good God"
 The pope made his reference to peace just after saying:
 Among the sad events are espe- cially those concerning Russia, Mexico and to a certain extent Germany"
 He spoke of Catholic observances:
 Among joyful events 1t is sum- cient to mention the triumphal demonstrations of faith which have occurred among others at Lourdes, Buenos Aires, Cleveland, Teramo, Prague and Lima"

Ken Murray
Says:

Mrs. Roosevelt, while showing
reporters around her newly
refurniShed kitchens, made an
interesting statement when she
said that her husband never
grew tired of scrambled eggs. :.
Lucky fellow, that F. d. His
wife brings home the eggs. =.
and Jim Farley, the bacon.
And there really should be
plenty of eggs around Washing
ton now that the chickens are
coming home to rOOSt.
OF course, with election
coming on, F. d. will be lucky
If he doesn't have to eat some
Of those eggs the Blue Eagle
laid.
From a political standpoint
the First Lady'S kitchen had a
very OminOuS note. 1t doesn't
seem logical that any housewife
would go to the trouble Of
having her whole kitchen done
over if she expected to move in
the near future.
P. S.-YOu don't suppose Mrs.
Roosevelt has a combination egg
and election beater?

JUNIOR, SISTER
KNOW THEIR
TOY NEEDS
'G-Men Guns 5-DoII
Sets in Big Demand,
Stores Report

Whether or not Junior and
Sister read the newspapers is be.
side the point. The real issue
is that they know what's going
on in the world and their toy
requests to Santa Claus prove
that they do.
Does Junior want any ordinary
kind of gun? No, certainly not.
Junior is insisting this Christmas
season on the Oman gun" and
with such insistence that one
store toy department is already
sold out of them. The Oman
gun" is an imitation of a sub
machine or tommy" gun, which
has gained popularity with the
development of the heroic figure
of ]. Edgar Hoover's SleuthS.
Sister, too, knows what's 60
ing on. Does she want any ordi
nary kind of doll? Not on your
life. The toy departments say
that Sister shows a particular
preference for the sets of five
uOllo LlOOC4tu dlCSI GAlC OIOAlIlC
quintupletS, or for a doll simulat-
ing tiny girl star Of Hollywood.
Department store toy experts
declare more interest is being
shown this year also in "scien-
tific" toys than in any previous
year. Popular items include mi
croscope sets. chemical apparatus
and steel building and machine
sets. Electric trains are holding
their own. however, and the most
attention is paid to a new midget
engine which can be made to
whistle in imitation Of real
express.
A curiosity this year is a board
game, patterned after the old
fashioned parcheeSi. in which the
Italian Ethiopian struggle is the
motif. Sales are good, it was said
at one store.
More interesting to old-timerS,
perhaps, is the information that
sledS are slipping - not in the
literal but the figurative sense.

PARKING LOTS
T0BEPR0BED
FOR TAXES
House to Seek Money
Lost As Buildings
Are Demolished

Loss of revenue to the District
through the operation of various
parking lots in the city will be in
vestigated by Congress in January
it was learned authoritatively to
day.
1t was revealed that 9
Member of the House District
Committee is collecting data or
this subject and will bring the
matter before the committee soon
after Congress conveneS.
Taxes Are Lost
The main point at issue is the
loss of taxes suffered by the Dis
trict when the buildings on city
lots are torn down thus relieving
owners of the taxes based on as
seSsment of improved property
After the buildings have been de
molished the additional assess
ment for the improvements Is re-
moved by the assessors office and
the property is then placed in
the unimproved class, with per
haps a small amount additional
for the small buildings that are
usually erected to house cashiers
1t was pointed out that the in
Stigator of the investigation feels
that the District should not be
deprived of revenue in this man
ner, due to the fact that the
money received through use of
the lots for parking sometimes
far exceeds the income from the
property when it had a building
on it.
At the assessors office in the
District Building it was said that
as soon as the office is notified
OF tne QemOIlSnlng OF building
the assessment is changed as of
the next six months.
To Increase Levy
1t was also said that some in,
vestigation is being made in the
assessors office to increase the
assessment on the lots thus used
for parking. So far nothing has
been done because of the assess
ment law in the District which
would require a like raise in the
assessments on property adjoin.
ing the lots, especially if the lot
is in the middle of a block.
Indicative of the feeling to pur.
sue a probe in this matter i.
the announced intention of nu
merous legislators interested in
District affairs to make a com
plete revision of all taxes for the
city at this session, so that &
comprehensive plan for permanent
improvements here may oe
carried out.

also all the "thick-Skinned" ami
mails in the Zoo-the hippopotami,

ing to DR.. Mann, call for a low

for visitors, good ventilation and
light-a veritable heaven for

HEARINGS END,
ONE TEXTBOOK
RULED OUT
Two Others Under Fire
Seen Retained; 'Ridi-
cuIe' Resented

With the statement that the
"red" issue in the local public
schools has been the object Of
much "ridicule and untimely at
tempts at sarcasm" the Board
of Education today had closed its
doors to Washington citizens seek
ing public hearings on Commu-
nism and prepared to act on the
recommended Endorsement OF two
school textbooks, under attack as
procommuniStic.
Another textbook, never before
mentioned in the current contro-
versy, was voted out of use by
the board at its meeting late
yesterday.
Board Bans One Book
The barred book, Achorn'S
European Civilization and Poll
tics" which has been in use in
the two teachers colleges, was
ordered stricken from the curricu-
lum at the suggestion of George
G. Jones, head of the history de.
partment; DR.. E. C. Higbie, presi-
dent of Wilson Teachers College,
and Prof. Paul o. Carr, of Wilson,
who said the book may be con-
strued as too favorable toward
Communism"
After a stormy session, in which
some members of the school body
argued that there had been too
much talk on the communist issue.
the board voted to refuse public
hearings in the future on the
red" issue.
Report Up January 2
The report of the boards Spe-
cial committee on textbook review,
submitted to the school body
yesterday, will be acted on at the
next meeting of the board jan
uary 2.
This report, prepared after
four weeks of study, declares that
four textbooks, described by the
Federation of Citizens Associations
as favoring communism, merely
present factual information on the
history and development of the
Soviet government.
OF the four books under fire,
Modern History" by Carl Becker,
of Cornell University. was in
dorsed, and "Our World Today"
a geography by DeForest Stull and
Roy w. Hatch, was approved.
"An Introduction to American
Civilization" and Changing Civil
izations," both by Harold Rugg Of
Columbia University, were reported
to be now out of use in the local
schools.
POrtabIes Approved
OF the latter book, the COM
mittee reported that the implica-
ton might be drawn that it was
bit favorable to communism.
With the announcement that
drafting of a five-year school con-
struction program will begin after
the Christmas holidays to relieve
school congestion. the sc h OIL
board approved the use of two
portables in Randle Highlands.
AS the result of agitation by
civic groups in the section. the
portableS will be placed at Thirty
fourth and E Streets Southeast.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools, reported to
the board that enrolment in the
schools fell off 1923 in the last
