 Police Captain Edwards said he is convinced that Chloe killed the oth- CT children, then her mother, all though some of the others who ques- toned the girl doubted it, as it would have been physically impossible.
 Chloe was in the sixth grade at school, and large for her age. She had read widely and had a vivid imagination.

Have you a little Albert Einstein, Bill Borah, Wilbur Wright, or Thomas A. Edison in your home?
 Not many of us have. Great num- bers of boys and girls in school today seem to lack even the good common sense, ability, and diligence to use the opportunities spread be- fore them. Small proportions of those in high school show interest in going to college.
 Nevertheless, to make sure Of in- creasing our numbers of skilled workers, of increasing the average income and thus our total income, we must make sure that education is free-effectively free.
 It is not effectively free today.
 Education is effectively free only when provided under such condi- tions that persons who should have the schooling are not shut out from it by reason of lack of money.
 We provide free tuition in the ele- mentary and secondary schools. This is fine, but it does not go far enough Effectively free schooling requires mere than free tuition. It means that food, clothing, medical aid, and shelter will be provided if the lack of such provisions will keep one from school.
 About 65 percent of American children are now going to high or other secondary schools. T us slightly more than a third of our children are failing to receive these opportunities.
 Fewer than 50 percent of Ameri- can children are able to graduate from high school About 13 percent of those aged IS to 2l attend col leges or universities Not all these finish four years of work Many drop out for one reason or another.
 The principal reason for quitting school is lack of money. A dozen studies could be quoted to prove this point Imagine the tough job faced by the examiners for 750 competitive scholarships at New York State University, who found 7,938 qualified applicants in 1885.
 This lack of money stems back to the unequal distribution of income among families in the United States. In 1935-36, IA percent of all famil- ies received less than $500; 42 per- cent less than $1,000: 65 percent less than $l 800; and 87 percent less than $2,500.
 The National Youth Administra- tion has helped hundreds of thou sands of boys and girls from the low income families to remain in high school. An average of $5 per month means the difference be- tween going on in school and drop ping out for at least a quarter of million boys and girls.
 Some way must be found to make certain that boys and girls of ex- ceptional ability and desire for higher education get their chance.
 Since many children in the sec

cndary schools will not go on to college, however, responsibility rests on the secondary school to fit these children for skilled and semi-skilled occupations, and for taking their responsibilities i'll the world of today
 Common sense demands only two limitations on expansion of free edu- cational opportunity. First, the state cannot afford to give tremendous amounts of training to those who would not profit by it. Second, the De greater than the cost of the ad- ditional schooling

from Bob Faris, George CARRIER,
Matt Zunic and Bobby Gilham-four
of his proteges. Faris was last years
captain and an all-America selection
at the end of the year; CARRIER is
this years captain, and considered
by some the best all-around player
in the District, and Zunic and Gill
ham both have made the grades as
sophomores.
According to those who know him
best, Zahn has the ideal coaching
personality. He never tries to force
his opinion on others, but when
asked gives definite and direct
answers. Still weighing no more
than the 1865 pounds he carried
through three varsity campaigns and
into the American League. where he
starred with the Heurich Brewers,
: the self-made player-coach is as
quiet and unassuming as he is
valuable.
AS Reinhart sums it up: "Zahn is
the Ossie Bluege type of player.
Seldom colorful, you had to be with
out him to realize how much he
meant. I hate to think of being
without him as my freshman coach,
but I'd never stand in the way of his
progress. AS said before, he's going

Victory Still Evades C. U.

That elusive first victory still
evades the Catholic University bas-
ket ball team. But the cardinal
clad boys coached by Forrest Cotton
are getting close. They may crash
the win column next week when
they entertain st. Peters of Jersey
City. If they click as well as they
clicked last night at the Brookland
gym, where they dropped their ninth
game in a row with washington COL
lege the 39-to-35 winner, and looked
good doing 1t, they'll crack that los
ing streak. You can't keep a good
passing team down forever.
Joe Carrig, Johnny White and
Gene DAILY carried the fight to
Washington College on the boards
at Brookland, twice putting the
fighting Cardinals out in front in
one of the really close games played
this year by Catholic University.
Twice in the first half the Cardinals
led, at 12-11 and 14-13, but they
ended the half on the short side of
a 21-18 count.
Then, with the first few minutes
of the second half turning into a
track meet, the Cards knotted the
count at 80 all on nifty shots by Pete
Sachon and Carrig with - seconds
to go. After time-out interval,
Kardash netted one from close un-
der the basket to send the Chester
town (Md.) boys into 2-point lead,
and Schuerhok lobbed another into
the cords as the game ended.
Carrig, White and DAILY each Tailed
8 points for Catholic University.

nounced high school series cham
pionship football games henceforth
will not be held on Thanksgiving
morning.
Western defeated Eastern for the
public high series title last year on
Thanksgiving morning at Central

was scheduled for the same date and
place this year. DR.. Ballou, however,
ordered a switch which will not
conflict with religious services.
Birch E. Bayh, director Of public
school athletics, said the game prob
ably will be played the Saturday
following Thanksgiving, officials feel
ing Turkey Day dinners would in
terfere with financial success should
the game be played Thanksgiving
afternoon.
