School Building Program
Considered by School Board.


THE Board of Education at its
= meeting Wednesday decided to
confer with the Commissioners OF
the District on the proposed five
year school building program now
under consideration. 1t Is esti-
mated that s5,o00,00o per year or
q total Of s3o,0oo.o00 will be re-
quired. The system so physically
expanded would be adequate for
the school population in 1912.
The board favors providing au-
thority for the building program
in q separate act rather than be-
ing included in the annual appro-
priation bill. Citizens associa-
tions in practically every neigh
borhood are strongly in favor OF
such a program and with the par.
ent-teacher associations are anx-
lous to back the school officials
and the Commissioners in an en-
deavor to obtain such legislation.
1t Is also proposed to include In
this legislation authority to use
Federally owned lands, where
available, for school sites, rather
than force the District to pay
exorbitant prices for land from
private owners. This idea was
originated by Col. Dan !. Sultan.
Engineer Commissioner. Citizens
regard such plan perfectly reasona-

P0RTABLES PLEASING
NORTH RANDLE BODY

Members of the North Randle
Community Citizens Association are
pleased with the portable schools
erected In their area to relieve over
crowding in the Benning School and
to save North Randle children the
long trip to the Benning School.
This Is the first year portables have
been tried. The children attending
the schools have made such salts
factory progress, however, that many
parents who continued to send their
children to the Benning School are
planning to enroll them In the port
ables in February.
While the general feeling Is that
portable schools do not take the place
of permanent grammar and junior
high schools, the citizens are for the
time satisfied.

To Help Children
Cross Busy Street

A member of the Michigan
Park Citizens Association has his
own method of solving the prob
lem of getting school children
across busy intersections where
there Is no trafic light.
His practice is to drive his
large automobile out into the
middle of the street and to allow
the motor to stall conveniently.
Then he goes through the mo-
tions OF trying to get It started
and thereby holds up trafic until
the youngsters are safely across.

OCTOBER VISITORS
INCREASE OVER 81
Restaurateurs Plan to Hold
= Convention Here on
-
December 7.

Washington entertained more visit
prs during October than during the
same month for many years. on the
basis of a check made at the Smith
vonian Institution, according to Curtis
Hedges, of the Greater National Cap
ttal Committee of the Washington
Board of Trade.
The Smithsonian count for many
years has been used as gauge for
Judging the increase or decrease in
visitors. During recent months the
count shows that Washington is pop
tilar as a tourist center. Mr.. Hodges
reported.
The count last month showed
so1 $50 Smithsonian visitors, or 43,e90
more than during october, 1885. For
the 10 months of this year, the count
has totaled 2,4o0.005, as compared

BY JESSE C. SUTER.

~ UTSTANDING among the
civic events of the past
week were the annual
~ campaign for the Com
munity Chest. the rejection by the
Commissioners of the application
for a permit to build the abattoir
at Benning, the Takoma trans
portation hearing Of the Public
Utilities Commission, the naming
by the Board of Education Of Miss
May P. Bradshaw to succeed Allan
Davis as principal of the Theodore
Rooevelt High School and the de-
parture of the President without
naming a peoples counsel.
The Community Chest campaign
has several more days to run. The
week closed with the workers be-
ing urged to increase their efforts
to reach the goal of approximately
S2,000,000. Very properly, most
other civic activities have had to
be laid aside while this most i'm
portant immediate job of the Com.
munity Chest is put over. as
matter Of local pride as well as
an actual civic need. During the
World War we were urged to give
until 1t hurt. and we found out
that the more it hurt. the greater
our satisfaction. These earnest
workers for the Chest feel that
Washington just can't afford TO lay
down on the Job. There is yet an
opportunity for us to give If We
haven't or to increase our gift il
we have. 1t is both a duty and
an opportunity.
The refusal, during the past
week, by the Supreme Court of the
United States to review the judg-
ment of the Court of Appeals In
sustaining the constitutionality Of
the District personal tax law def
nitely establishes the necessity OF
residents making personal tax re-
turns. The constitutionality was
attacked on the ground that the
law exempted from its operation
members OF Congress and other
Government officials, who we're
only temporarily residing here.
It is expected that this decision.
together with the scanning Of the
Federal income tax returns, will
increase the number filing personal
tax returns and increase the COL
lections from that source.
The Presidents Fiscal Study
Group yesterday held an executive
session with the District Commls-
sioners and Auditor Donovan. 1t
Is presumed that in this closed
session the Commissioners and the
auditor we're able. In confidence.
to discuss the secrets and myster-
les of the budget.
Civic leaders are confident that
they could be OF material assist
ance if the budget in all of its
stages was made public. They just
cannot seem to see why all private
business must be open to the pub
lie and public business must be so
carefully concealed from the pub
lie. These civic leaders feel that
the public, which pays the bill.
is deeply concerned and that pub
lie opinion should determine the
items which make up the District
budget. In many quarters the
hope has been expressed that
the fiscal report which will 60 to
the President will carry recon-
mendation favoring abolishing the
secret procedure.

POOR PRACTICE
 MAY DEFEAT U. s, IN BERLIN TEST
Japanese, German Swim mers May Provide Real
 Competition

Berlin, Aug. 5--(UP)-The tradi- tional supremacy of the United States in the men and women's div- ing events of the 0lympicS was con. sidered endangered today because of the failure of the American stars to adhere to strict practice schedules
 Several coaches told the United Press that some members of the United States swimming and diving team are "real champion prirna donnas." Around Olympic village the impression was gaining that the Americans hold themselves unbeat. able.
 Not On Edge
 Coach Fred Cady of Los Angeles approached on the subject, admitted that the divers needed two or three hard workouts daily to bring them in shape for competition coming next week. Cady believes one or more of the Americans will be de- feated.
 The United States swimming team is c unique body since many swim. mers and divers are accompanied by private coaches, trainers and man. agers although tho Olympic com. mittee selected 0 coaching staff of recognized experts.
 The Japanese daily workouts show that Masayo osawa is capable of giving the United States women divers opposition especially from the tower platform. Olga Jensch-Jor- dan of Germany is another superla- tive diver.
 Looks Good
 Echardt Welsh of Germany coached by Harold (Dutch) Smltl winner of the i0S2 Olympic plat form dive, has championship clas, on tho high dives. Smith is con fident Welsh will finish among tho first three.
 The two hardest workers on the United States diving team arc thE youngsters, Marjorie destring oi Los Angeles and Vlema Dom O. Monroviqa Cal. who work out threL times day regardless of weathe' and take 70 to 80 dives In eacl practice.
 Miss destring has impressed critics but they believe Mrs. Dor. othy Paynton Hill of Los Angeles should win both diving titles be. cause of her experience and natural ability-if she Is in top form. Mrs Hill is the only defending American swimming or diving olympic cham pion.
