training school were transferred back
to the Conduit road qnartefs after the
Commissioners insisted it was possible
to effectuate segregation there.
The CONDUIT road property dates
back to plans laid in 1883, when Con-
gress provided for the incorporation
of the trustees of the training school,
as the new form of the old Reform
School for Girls. The site was pro-
vided by the Federal Government on
recommendation of the Department of
Justice. Alexander Graham Bell, in
ventor of the telephone, was one of
the original trustees
The original buildings were erected
at a cost to District taxpayers OF
about $4,000, plus about $4,000
spent for water supply, grading
and other Improvements.
The institution never has had more
than 100 wards, but crowded condi-
tions prompted some of the trustees
to suggest separate home for the
white girls, with the resultant loss
OF public funds at Muirkirk.
$4,000 Appropriated.
In recent years, there were re-
peated riots and other difficulties at
the Conduit road institution and
about two years ago special appro-
priation of 100000 for improvement
and expansion was granted by Con-
gress after Senators King of Utah
and Copeland of New York described
conditions there as "barbaric." Mrs.
Roosevelt also manifested interest in
the conditions. About the same time
the Commissioners succeeded in OBJ
tanning w. P. A. project for i'm
prcvement of the place.
Therefore, in the past two years
some S225000 has been spent for ex-
pansion and improvement of the in
stitution, in addition to the original
cost of the plant, plus the expendi-
ture OF more than $4,000 at Muir
kirk. The Commissioners disclaim any
responsibility for these outlays.

counting the $4,000 to be spent for

S59,500 Salary Item.
AS against this sum, the Budget Bu-
reau had recommended appropriations
totallng S59,500 for salaries and main
tenance for care of the wards of the
training school at its present site
during the next year.
Senator Copelands resolution for a.
congressional survey was prompted
mainly by a desire to help District
officials solve this problem of housing
the training school inmates as well
as those OF the Receiving Home for
Children. which would be closed next
January under the 1899 supply bill.

Jack Hanley had been in Sick Officers Quarters a month now. His arm had knit beautifully, his ribs were almost well. He could sit up in bed, but he hadn't been in a wheel chair yet. Commander Sloane be- lieved in doing things slowly. He had said, You want to fly again, don't you? Take it easy"

 Table etiquette's really simple. Silver's laid in the order of its use from the outside in to the plate. But how to know when to use fork, when spoon? Here are tips:
 After soup or bouillon-no spoons until the dessert course. Then you use the spoon lying next your plate for every soft foods; for cake, pas- try, use the fork next your plate. But one time you may use a spoon during meal is for salad of avo- cado halves.
 Other points of table etiquette? When at dinner dance you get up to dance, leave your napkin on the chair, not on the table.
 You drop your fork? Let the waiter pick it up.

1 One of the surprise" dramas of the year Secrets of a Nurse" star ring Edmund Lowe, Dick Foran and Helen Mack will have its first Waterbury showing at the Warner Bros. Strand theater as the head liner of the fine bill to be enjoyed by theatergoers today and tomor- row.
 The theme of the story is a time ly one for it deals with the sharp controversy over ethical or non- ethical revelations a professional framed nurse can or cannot make.
 Lowe plays the central character in an unusual triangle as a high powered criminal attorney who sacrifices romance and reputation as an invincible courtroom strate- gist when he deSends his young rivals on an open-and- shut murder charge.
 Miss Mack, as a beautiful nurse, and Foran as young boxer com- plete the trio. Action begins when Foran, badly battered in fight, is sent to a hospital and is mirac- ulously pulled through a battle for his life by the nurse.
 Later the pugilist is framed on murder charge and on the nurses plea, the lawyer agrees to defend him, even though circumstantial evidence points to his guilt. H
 An uphill court battle results, cIimaxed by one of the most sur- nrising endings to any story.
 others iii the cast include Paul Hurst. Samuel s. Kinds, Leon Ames, pavid Oliver and Dorothy Arnole.

How Justinion Cut Red Tope Out of Rome

ExECUTIvE-MINDED FLAVrUs
 JUSTINIAN held no patience with the red tape and the in- tricacies of the law. So one of the first steps of his administra- ton was a move to simplify the whole body of Roman jurispru- dence.
 Immediately after his accession, he appointed a commission to code ify the imperial constitutions. The task was completed in IA months, and so successful was the effort that the emperor chose next to revise the entire field of legal writing. And he did.
 But first he wisely took the pre- lirninary step of settling the more important legal questions about which the great jurists still dis- agreed. A series of 50 historic decisions was handed down as a general basis. Then Justinian ap- pointed the famous lawyer, Tri- bonian. who had already served on the first commission, to codify the remainder of Roman legal lore.
 The commissioners took about four years to complete this next exhaustive codifcation, Tribonian presenting his work to Justinian in 533. This was known as the Digest, or Pandects. It comprised nearly 10000 extracts from 39 Roman authors. It proved a sig nificant accomplishment, although badly arranged as we view it to- day.
 But this was not enough for the emperor. He decided finally to simplify all elementary law. This was published as the Institutes of Justinian. A great many ad-

spirit shown in this trade agreement
should have an important bearing
on the commercial policies of many
other countries, quite apart from the
fact that, under the most-favored
nation practice of both the United
Kingdom and the United States,
most countries will benefit directly
from the concessions provided in
it."
The experience of the United
States with the first Canadian
agreement was that the total volume
of trade increased materially. AS
rates are lowered, the inducement
to move goods arises. When more
goods move, there is more revenue
for steamship companies and for
railroads, more fees for brokers and
shippers and maritime insurance
companies. Likewise as factory or
farm production is stimulated as a
consequence of more demand grow
ing out of reduced prices, employ
ment is increased, which tends to
offset losses here and there where
the lowered tariff breaks down a
tariff supported factory at home and
compels new methods or new ma
chinery to meet the new competition.
The trade treaties have been under
fire for some time by the school OF
absolute protectionism and by a
large number of Republican con-
servatives, but in the East in the
last few years, especially in seaport
cities dependent on world trade to
fill up empty Office buildings and in
crease employment in shipping,
quite a number of supporters Of the
trade agreement policies have arisen
