reduced from 1,229 to 389.
 Last year 26 students were neither absent or tardy, while this year the figure reached 69.
 As an explanation for the improv- ed attendance record, Superintend- ent A. B. Phillips states that for the 1936-37 period there was no serious epidemic, and that, the winter being comparatively mild, there was little absence because of sickness. For the previous year, sickness cases ranked higher.
 Of the 822 students in attend ance, 223 were high school pupils, and 599 grade school students Pu- pills numbered 135 who attended school from outside the city linn it's. Thirty-two graduated this year from high school, and 48 enter high school from the eighth grade.
 Instruction was held for 180 days this year, as against 181 of last year.
 With reference to the teachers, the public school figures show that three have had one year of exper- fence; two, five years; five, six years: two, seven years; one. eight years; two, nine years, and 13, ten years or more.
 As to Alaska experience, six have had one year of experience; eleven, two years; one. three years; one, four years: one. five years; one, six years. two, seven years; one, eight years; one, nine years, and three ten years or more.

among as many men as possible. The work is Godsend to the vet erans employed, who receive little Tor no government compensation, meaning an opportunity to help support their families or to save a little money for the day when they leave the hospital and begin the diff iicult struggle to make fresh start in life.
 Mental Diversion
 The mental diversion of making the peoples has been found an ex- ceilent way to steady the nerves and occupy the min<<s of hospital patients. The comforting thought that they are earning money again, often for the first time in years, is of tremendous value to many of these men. Pride Of workmanship is taken, with the knowledge that the flowers are to be worn in honor of comrades who died in France.
 The idea of the poppy as the me- morial flower for the World War dead sprang from Col. John Mo Creas poem, "Flanders,s Fields" written at the battle front shortly before his death. It was first brought forward in the United States by Miss Moira Michael, of Athens, Georgia, who was serving on the staff of the Y. M c. A. overseas headquarters in New York City. On November g, 1919, after reading Col cnel McCrea's poem, Miss Michael bought and distributed silk peoples to the men attending a Y. M c. A. conference.
 Poppy Idea
 After the Armistice the poppy idea spread rapidly. Topples were distributed on the streets of Mil waukee during the homecoming of the 32nd Division in June, 1919, and again on Memorial Day of 1920. In August, 1920, the Georgia Depart ment of the American Legion adopt ed the poppy as a memorial flower, and the national convention of the Legion in Cleveland the following month made the poppy the Legions national m orial flower. The American Legion Auxiliary offic- ially adopted the poppy as its me- morial flower at it's first national convention in Kansas City in 1921 The poppy is also the memorial flower of the British Legion.

DEBATE TOPIC

It is the blood, culture and re-

Jew, Rabbi David de Sola Pool,
of New York, said last night in a
debate at the Washington Hebrew
Temple. Rabbi Pools opponent
was DR.. Lewis Browne, author and
lecturer.
Jews in Germany, Rabbi Pool
said, have attempted to avoid per
secution by calling themselves
Germans, but they cannot fool
themselves or deny their blood.
Speaking of the three character
istics, he said:
"Of the three, however, re-
ligiOn is more important. A
Christian may become a Jew by
living in the Jewish faith al
though he does not have Jewish
blood or culture"
On the other hand, DR.. Browne
declared, a Jew is a Jew only be-
cause he is called that by Chris
tians. He added:
In Europe there is a group
of people, who, 1,5OO years ago,
were forced to give up their
Jewish worship and customs.

WOMEN BEGIN
CANCER FIGHT

Under the leadership Of Mrs.

the nation opened drive on
cancer this week through the
Women's Field Army of the Ameri-
can Society for the Control OF
Cancer.
Many other prominent women
have enlisted in the drive. among
them Mrs. Grace Morrison Poole,
dean of Stoneleigh College and
past president of the General Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, and
Mrs. Marjorie B. Illig, chairman
of the National Health Division OF
the general federation.
The slogan of the drive is:
early cancer is durable. Fight
II with knowledge"
There is no local chapter OF
the field army in the District, and
the drive is expected to be car
ried on here largely through the
newspapers. Thirty-nine States
are organized and this week, un-
der their State commanders, will
begin a drive of enlightenment.

THE SAFE, SENSIBLE
Way TO RELIEVE
CONSTIPATION

Every one knows the dangers Of
constipation. Pills and drugs usu-
ally bring only temporary relief.
That's because common constipa-
tion is due to meals low in "bulk."
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN contains
"bulk" that does not break down in
the body as does that of many leafy
vegetables. ALL-BRAN absorbs twice
its weight in water and forms a
soft mass that gently sponges the
intestines.
Kellogg's A1L-BRAN is a food -
not a medicine. In addition to
''bulk"-it gives vitamin B to tone
up the system, and iron for the
blood. 1t is healthful way to get
rid of constipation and all its evils.
Eat two tablespoonfuls daily
with milk or cream - three times
day in severe cases. Or use it in
making bran mullins, breads, in
salads or soups. Guaranteed by
Kellogg in Battle Creek.

sociations at meeting Saturday
night in the District Building
petitioned Congress to avoid
haste in passing the District ap-
preparation bill, exercising caution
in considering reports and sur
veys purporting to remedy either
fiscal or political ills Of the Dis
trict. Aimed primarily at the
Jacobs fiscal relations survey, the
recommendation was offered by
L. A. Carruthers, chairman of

lation in the allotment of appoint

ton to establish 40-hour work

TEEN for George E. Sullivan, and
hoping he may continue as a

Sullivan rendered his resigna-
