ROOSEVELT ENDS
|. 5,0)GM!LE TOUR
Will Spend Busy Day at
h White House-Departs
= Again Tomorrow. ny
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Radiating confidence, President
Roosevelt returned to the White
House today after a 5,000-mile CAM
paign tour, more strenuous in many
ways than any other he has ever
made.
Mr.. Roosevelt arrived in Wash
angton at $50 am. after an over
night journey from his Hyde Park
home and motored Immediately to
the White House.
He gave orders on his arrival that
he wanted no engagements made for
him during the day as he intended
tc keep busy ct his desk in his pri-
vate study, disposing Of accumulated
mail and Office routine and check
ing up with his administration chiefs.
More important, he let 1t be un-
derstood he wanted as much spare
time as possible to work out his final
campaign plans and to draft a major
political address he is scheduled to
make Wednesday night at worcester,
Mass.
His only visitors were Secretary Of
the Treasury Morgenthau and Harry
Colmery Of Kansas, newly elected
national commander Of the American
Legion.
The Presidents stay here will be
brief. He will leave Washington to-
morrow night for two-day invasion
Of New England, which will include,
besides the major address in Wor-
cester, dozen or so impromptu
speeches in Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island and Connecticut. He will go
back to his Hyde Park home after
his New England stumping, arriving
there Thursday and remaining until
Sunday night. when he will return
to Washington.
The Presidents plans from then on
are still indefinite. 1t Is certain, how
ever, that he will make Nationwide
appeal to the electorate on the night
of October 81 before huge Demo-
cratic rally in Madison Square Garden,
New York. The President intends
then to 60 to his Hudson River home
and remain until after the election Is
over and the outcome known. Indica-
tions are that he will make his elec-
tion eve talk to the American people
over a Nationwide hook-up from the
library in his old home on the Hudson.
To Vote at Hyde Park.
On election day he will cast his
ballot in the town hall voting booth
at Hyde Park village, and sit at home
election night with his family to hear
the returns.
Soon after it IS all over, the Presi-
dent plans sea journey. probably of
the Florida coast or in the waters of
the West Indies, for week or two
OF complete rest. At the conclusion
OF that vacation the time will have
arrived for him to make his annual
pilgrimage to Warm Springs, Ga,
where each Thanksgiving day for a
number Of years he has dined with
the infantile paralysis victims at the
Warm Springs Foundation. Accord
ing to these tentative plans, the
President probably will not spend
much time In Washington before
Christmas. a

"'But-you may say-the N. r. A.

Since the opening Of schools last
month, all junior and senior high
schools have been prohibited from ad-
mitting nonresident pupils, the Board
Of Education basing It's rule on an
opinion Of the late william w. Bride,
corporation counsel, who held that the
nonresident pupil provisions were
"permissive" and not mandatory"
However. 81 senior high school
pupils who had been enrolled In
Washington last year were permitted
to enter Central and Mckinley High
Schools, and $50 to 200 other pupils,
who also had been In the District
schools last year eand applied again,
were denied enrolment because Of the
severe congestion. A large number
Of other pupils are known to have
sought admission without making for
NAL application.
All Of the senior high schools except
Woodrow Wilson High School now
have enrolled more than the physical
accommodations Of the buildings.
At Woodrow Wilson and at Anacostia
Junior Senior High Schools, the en-
rollments have not reached physical
capacity, but they already exceed
teacher capacity.
Grades Are Overcrowded.
In the elementary schools, while q
number Of schools already are over
crowded, the congestion involves
grades or classes instead of buildings.
For example, no additional fifth
grade pupils can be accepted at the
Takoma School, but at nearby Whit
tier School, so pupils may be accom-.
modated, but third and fourth grade
pupils excluded. Robert L. Haycock,
first assistant superintendent, said he

"The statement taken from the
stenographic record Of the worcester
Telegram reads, as vouched for by
that paper, as follows:
If the N. r. A. had not been
knocked out We would not have had as
much unemployment. The way to
correct this Is to shorten hours Of
labor.
"'In order to accomplish this, the
President intends to continue the prin-
ciples Of the N. r. A. by going before
the people and seeking an amendment
to the Constitution to make the prin-
ciples Of the N. r. A. the law Of the
land
''Mr. James Roosevelt's own account
Of what he said, as quoted In the press,
is as follows:
These are the purposes Of the
N. r. A. The administration is pledged
to carry out the purposes Of the
N. r. A. in every constitutional man
ner.
Should there be no way in which
this can be accomplished, which we

Ruling by Ballou.

Because Of the crowded conditions
this year Ballou decided not to admit
nonresident pupils to junior high
schools, although allowing those who
have started the junior high school
course to finish it, West told the court.
He said that there are accommoda-
tions for only 1000 junior high school
students, while $4,000 already are
enrolled.
Il don't believe that Congress in
tended that the children of other
States, who have schools of their own
to go to, should be entitled to 60 to
the District schools, to the detriment
Of our children, who may not attend
Maryland and Virginia schools" West
declared
He said the requested order would

children. while contrary ruling would
not greatly inconvenience nonresident
pupils. He argued that it is not the

lawyer only half that time, to pre-
pare his amended answer. The ques-
ton involved concerned the construc-
ton of statute passed by Congress
in 1915, which stated:
AL pupils whose parents are en-
ployed officially or otherwise in the
District Of Columbia shall be ad-
mitted and taught free Of charge in
the schools of said District"
West contended the statute was
"permissive," while Lynch held that
1t was mandatory, and required that
children living in Maryland and Vir-
ginia be given the same status as Dis
trict children.
After questioning counsel as to
Evening star., 1936-10-19

whether any District pupils had been
excluded from any Of the schools, and
ascertaining they had not, Justice Bal
ley said:
"I do not think this statute vests in
the superintendent Of schools any dis
cretion to exclude one class and not
another"
West based his argument mainly
on the contention that the public in
terest would not be served by the issu-
ance OF q writ Of mandamus.
Citing figures to show that the popu-
lation OF the District increased by
109 900 from 1890 to 1885, he said that
something Of an emergency exists.
He told the court that If the statute
were construed to impose q mandatory
duty on DR.. Ballou to take in Maryland
and Virginia pupils who apply. the
paradoxical situation would arise, of
the ofiicial being physically unable to
comply with the law.
II would agree with you that they
should be enrolled, were the power
vested in the superintendent of the
Board Of Education to provide ade-
quate facilities for them," West con-
tinued.
"But that Is not the case. The
school officials repeatedly have asked
Congress for more money, but have
not gotten it. If Congress had failed
to supply adequate facilities. 1t is Con-
gress who has failed under this law,
and not the superintendent Of
schools"

~ NE Of the best volumes on the
care Of dogs ever published is
"The Dog Owners Manual" /"
~ by Josephine z. Rine, editor
Of Popular Dogs, and published by
Coward McCann Of New York. This
Is a large and rather expensive ($5)
volume, but to the beginning breeder,
and even to the breeder of long stand
ing, it is worth several times the price.
And If the one dog owner sincerely Is
interested in dogs, he will find this
book source of great interest.
1t Is written clearly and simply
in non-technicaI language, is
logically divided into chapters on
choosing a breed, feeding. groom
ing, showing. breeding, ETC., each
chapter an up-to date treatise on
its subject.
In two ways this book is unique
for a work of its kind. Instead OF
having a number of illustrations scat
tered throughout, this book has q
large number of photographs of the
outstanding dogs Of today in a sepa-
rate section at the back of the book
But even more important, it has a
large section devoted to the official
standards of the breeds. This feature
alone is worth the price OF the book
and as published by the American
Kennel Club gets it.
A N INTERESTING feature at the
recent Philadelphia show was the
large number of people who drove g
hundred or more miles Just to see the
show, having no entries Of their own
to exhibit. At least II dog show en-
thusiasts from this neck of the woods
made the long trip in addition to the
exhibitors from near here And Wash

crop!
Distemper again Is on the rampage.
It appears seemingly from nowhere
and attacks any dog weakened or
run down by worms or any other
cause. There are number OF ac-
cepted prevention methods now in
vogue. Complete isolation may pre-
vent distemper, but is neither practi-
cal nor perfect. Complete immuniza-
ton by the Laidlow-Dunkin method
which includes two injections of vac
cine and one of virus at from one to
two week intervals is about 95 per
cent perfect The Pittman- Morse
method is similar and about equally
effective. Anti-distemper serum Led
erie gives temporary immunity. but
| needs to be renewed at frequent in
tervals if used as a preventative. II
Is invaluable as a treatment when
distemper already has been incurred
Another method of distemper i'm
munization consists of the injection
of the live virus in the neck of the
dog. followed by treatment with serum
