be at a loss for something to say
nothing about.

today was for an eight-room addition
at the Kingsman School, Fourteenth
and E streets NE. School officers es-
timated the cost Of the new addition
q $2l8,500. They said the new build
ing was needed to permit abandon
ment Of the Pierce School at Four
teenth and @ streets NE, which, with
Kingsman, forms an administrative
unit, because of hazardous conditions
there.
Oficials also said it would reduce
congestion In the Edmunds- Maury
and Webb Schools.
Long Request Granted.
With the approval of a new two
story and basement replacement for
the Bunker Hill School, on Michigan
avenue east Of Twelfth street NE, a
request of long standing from resi-
dents Of Michigan Park has been
granted. The present school, which
was built many years ago to serve
rural community, consists of only two
rooms and Is not considered an ex-
tensible building. The municipal
architect has recommended that the
old building be demolished and re-
placed by the first unit OF a modern
extensible building. The estimated
cost of the new school is $209, 900.
The largest project among those ap-
proved for the colored schools is the
10-room addition, assembly hall and
gymnasium, and remodeling of the
M. NJ Washington vocational School,
for which the estimate was set at $780,
900. School officers said the addi-
tional space is needed because Of an
anticipated increase in enrolment
and because of plans to expand the
vocational education program.
They pointed out also that the addi-
tional rooms would permit transfer
OF classes now held in the basement of
the school.
The project at the Smothers School
calls for an Groom addition and an
assembly hall-gymnasium at an esti-
mated cost Of $4,000. The building
was considered necessary because of
the large increase in the colored popu-

these buildings are 70 years old or
more, and many of them currently in
use have bad upper floors, condemned
as unsafe for class use.
The Board of Education had asked
the Budget Bureau for more than
four and half million dollars to pro-
vide new buildings and additions for
the 1899 fiscal year. When the Dis
trict appropriation bill came out of
Congress, it was found the schools re-
ceived an appropriation of only ST.
568,650, slash Of more than two
thirds of the budget estimate.
Hope to Get $3,Sl4,375.
Officials were hopeful that the p.
w. A. would grant all or a major por-
tion of the Commissioners $3,814,375
application for new school construc-
ton. Even in the event these hopes
are disappointed, it was admitted that
today's allotment would do much to
remedy some of the worst conditions.
The eight projects for which allot-
ments were made today are divided
equally between the white and colored
divisions. All are elementary schools
with the exception OF the M. M. WASH
ington, on o street between North
Capitol and Firsts streets NV, which
is colored vocational school for girls.
Four of the requests granted, also
divided equally between the white and
colored divisions, call for addition of
assembly room gymnasiums at the Ban
croft and Whittier, white elementary
schools, and the Giddings and Monroe,
colored elementary schools.
The assembly -gymnasiums were
sought by the school officials in ac-
cordance with the policy of the Board
of Education of requesting such addi-
tions for schools Of l6 rooms or more.
Civic groups petitioning the board for
these projects, have pointed out that
in many cases assembly programs had
to be held in the school corridor.

posal be introduced.
Senator Rush Holt, Democrat, of
West Virginia said today he intended
to ask the Senate next year to ex-
press its opposition to a third term.
Senator Vandenberg said he would
support such a resolution were it to
be introduced in the Senate now.

Snator Holt, Democrat, of West Vir-

today he would ask the 1889 Senate to
express formal opposition to a third
term for President Roosevelt.
He had intended to introduce such a
resolution during the last session, he
added. but had held it up pending
proper time
Senator Holt explained the resolu-
ton would be similar to one which the
Senate adopted, Sc to 26, while Calvin
Coolidge was President in 1928.
That resolution was introduced by
Senator La Toilette, Progressive, of
Wisconsin and was considered after
Coolidge had issued his famous II do
not choose to run" statement. 1t said:
Resolved, That is is the sense of
the Senate that the precedent estab-
llshed by Washington and other Presi-
dents of the United States in retiring
from the presidential Office after their
second term has become, by universal
concurrence, a part of our republican
system OF government and that any
departure from this time -honored Gus
tom would be unwise, unpatriotic and
fraught with peril to our free insti.u-
tions"
22 Present Members Voted.
Il don't see why the members who
voted for the 1923 resolution wouldn't
vote for it now" Senator Holt COM
mented.
Among those who supported Senator
La Follette's resolution were % men,
bers of the present Senate. They IN
cluded some of President Roosevelts
backers as we'll as some of his critics.
The only present Senators who voted
against the resolution were McNary,
Republican, of Oregon and Walsh,
Democrat, of Massachusetts,.
Senator Walsh said at the time he
was opposed to a third term, but be-
lieved Senate action would reflect
upon the good faith" of President
Coolidge in his statement that he did
not choose to run.
Another proposal involving the 1910
election, as well as all future balloting.
may be offered next year by Senator
Walsh, a member of the Senate
Campaign Expenditure Committee. He
suggested that there be attached to
all appropriations bills a proviso re-
stricting political activity by Federal
employees and prohibiting use of
Federal funds for political purposes.

DELAWARE CAN GROW
EXCELLENT TOBACCO
W,ncOop Brothers OF Milford Used
TO Raise It

Lower Delaware's soil and eli
mate, according to government OIL
cials, who made a survey twenty
years ago, Is well suited 70 the cul-
tivation OF tobacco. Some day, It is
believed capitalists will wake up to
the fact that they do not have to de-
pend. on the south as much as they
do now for their source Of supply;
but that mills can be established
within a few hours ride Of Philadei-
phia, Baltimore and New York.
Much Of Delaware's soil is said 10
be just as good for tobacco growing
as that Of Lancaster county, in
Pennsylvania, or the Piedmont Dis
trict of Virginia.
During the early SOS tobacco
growing for home use was common
in this section. The farmers had
crude way Of curing" it. No attempt
was ever made to grow Il on an ex-
tensive scale throughout the county,
because no tobacco concern was IN
terested in backing the farmers to
the extent Of establishing ware
houses and drying barns and sup
plying the necessary machinery.
In those days. however an attempt
was made IN the vicinity Of Milford
when the Wyncoop brothers planted
many acres and built storage
house in that section. Many hum
dreds Of dollars were invested In the
but for the lack OF
knowledge in knowing how TO take
