Rooms Equipped With Display
Rails

The display rails which have
been provided for the front of each
room were installed by c. G. Dun
am. today. The hangers provide
for hanging maps which are sup
piled with metal rings to fit over
the four sliding hangers; they also
have a clothes pin-like pincer for
hanging small pictures. The cork
strips at the top permit pictures,
smaller maps and papers to be pin
ned with tacks.
Since these rails are placed in
the front of the room, they are even
more advantageous for displaying
work to the class than the bulletin
boards located at the side of the
room toward the back

VIII Order Shorthand Maaazin,

The shorthand | classes of the
commercial department have been
urged to bring a dollar with which
to buy a magaz ne, the Gregg Short
hand Writers. These will serve as
a text book for the next semester.
Since the students have arrived at
a point where reading is not diff
cult, these books will provide
practice similar to that derived
from translating a foreign language.
The books contain various articles,
jokes, and stories written in short
hand. They were also used last year
by the Shorthand | class.

But King David sat alone, apart,
in a small upper room, sick at
heart. What was it worth, all
this pomp and play-acting? What
did it mean to a discouraged soul?
It meant nothing. whether one
lived in a palace or in a mud hut,
life at times became a desert-a
gray desolation like that which
he could glimpse beyond the city
wall. Flat days, flat nights, and
man, a weak, futile creature, plod-

WASTE OF YEARS
Weary, the old king looked
across the waste of land, the
waste Of years.
Suddenly, on the far rim Of the
desert something burned for an
instant like a torch. A ray Of
the setting sun touching one high
peak-that was all. But, at that
spark joy flared in David's heart.

MOVE RECORDS

Very quietly and efficiently the
Archivist of the United States
with the help of the War De-
partment has just completed a
major operation in the transfer
of an enormous allotment Of war
records from the Schuykill Ar
Senal, Philadelphia, Pa, to the
Archives in Washington.
These records have been col
lected by the Quartermaster
Corps Of the Army as far back
as 1900. They contain records
of the War Of 1872 the Mexican
War and the Civil War. .-s.
It was decided at the outset
that the bulk of the records was
too great to give them satisfactory
attention at the Arsenal so orders
were issued to bring them to the
Archives where they could be
checked and the ones having no
permanent value destroyed.
An Army unit Of 70 trucks with
appropriate escort set out from
Camp Holabird at Baltimore and
returned to the camp with the
records. They were then brought
to Washington at the rate Of IL
trucks per day. They were I'm.
loaded in an hour and half and
it took just about two minutes to
unload and check the shipping re.
ceipts on each box. A total OF
1902 boxes Of records were moved
in this manner.

Journeys
ENGLISH CHANNEL

There has always oeen MUCH
TODD about crossing the English
channel.
For years the channel tunnel
controversy has been hotly de-
bated, but no progress has been
made. In the meantime, channel
crossers have continued to brave
the rigors Of the choppy stretch
by steamer, using the Dover Calais
route, the Southampton avre
route or the Newhaven-Di eppe
line, the shortest being the seven
hour run between London and
Paris, via the Dover Calais route.
Now, after go years Of planning
and devising, something finally
has been done for the hardy chan
mel crosserS. The long-awaited pas
senger-train ferry system has at
last been put in operation, and
even if the channel is rough, at
least the night passenger is not
awakened to, leave the boat and
board the train.
The tourist leaves Victoria in
London by sleeping car, and the
next morning he is chugging
across France en- route to Care
du Nord. 1t is an 11-hour trip, but
it seems we'll worth it, judging by
the joy with which the innovation
has been hailed.
The delay in completing the
project has been due mainly to
engineering difficulties, not only
in port, but crossing the water.
too. While Dover was found to be
perfect for the British port, there
was much difficulty in choosing
the French harbor.
Harbors at Calais and Bou-
logne were too shallow to receive
a large ship at low tide. Eventu'
ally, Dunkirk was selected as the
port Of entry into France by the
huge passenger-train ferries.

in fighter perhaps win the whole fight,

long fight
Anger is like whip in the hands Of smart
jockey-used wisely and sparingly in the home
stretch, the whip will help win a short race
But whip and spur do not help win a long race
they only help kill good horse.
Into the mouth Of an actor, Shakespeare put
this description Of ANGER:
Anger is my meat; sup upon myself"
That is precisely what happens-anger eats out
the heart and soul and mind of the man who
feeds the fires of anger
It is as foolish for a man to plunge a hot
iron into his own eyes as to plunge anger into
his own heart.

Trees From Gasoline

CCFPTANCE of the local tax bills introduced by
n Representative Ross Collins, of Mississippi would
place the Congress in the position of dong to the Dis
rict of Columbia what it is by law Furnishing the State
of Maryland for doing.
MARYLAND is being deprived of use of Federal money
on the ground that it has diverted its State gasoline tax
funds to purposes other than those directly connected
with road construction and repair. "
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZES
THE UNFAIRNESS OF TAKING AUTOMOBILE
Users AS A SPECIFIC CLASS AND THEN Elk
PENDING THE MONEY THUS COLLECTED FOR
GENERAL PURPOSES
Yet Mr. Collins would have the Federal Government
do that very thing in connection with the Districts gaso
line tax revenues.
Many legislators when they think of nothing else
to do like to soak the motorist with new or increased
taxes.
But doubling of the local gasoline tax could not pos
siblv be justified if the gasoline tax fund already had
surplus.
&c. in order to give semblance Of justification
to the proposal for increase of 100 per cent on this
item Mr. Collins and his subcommittee have drained Oft
the gas tax revenues to appropriation items which
should in reality be left in the general fundhese items
being for the general welfare of the community and not
for the specific benefit of the gasoline tax payers
While it may be possible to make out case for trans
ferrng to the gasoline tax fund the items for salaries in
the department Of vehicles and traffic. there to be
utterly no reason for making the motorst class pay
for trees and parking Mr. Collins proposes to do.
This is the sort of procedure which got Maryland into
trouble and which has cost that State hundreds of thou
sands of dollars which it otherwise would have received
from the Federal Government to carry out necessary
road construction and repair.
Now that State in order to get back of the Fed
era funds which are slipping away from it, feels
PEELED to reyse it's budget in order to devote gas tax
revenues to the purposes for which they raised.
Congress certainly should not do to Washingtonians
what it specifically forbds Maryland and the other
States to do to their citizens.
