Expect Big Jump in Attendance
Influx of Defense Workers Will Place
Extra Burden on Systems, OfficioIs Soy

With large increases in attend
ance expected in many Virginia
public schools this year, indications
are that the influx of National de-
fense workers to the Washington
area will place an extra burden on
Alexandria and Arlington County
schools.
Alexandria schools opened We'd
nesday, but the actual increase in
students will not be compiled for
several days, School Superintendent
T. c. Williams said There were
6O83 children enrolled at the end
of the last semeSterS.
Arlington County schools will
open tomorrow with an expected in
crease of 1,50O pupils over the 9,024
enrolment last year.
Education officials in both juris-
dictions said that recent expansion
of Federal departments in Washing

unnatural rises in school popula-
ton.
How Enrolment Increases.
In one isolated case in Alexandria,
for instance, the new low cost hous-
ing project of 300 living units for
employees of the Naval Torpedo
Plant, has brought 81 additional
high school students and 1875 ele-

Because Of the extra burden
brought about by the defense ef-
fort, school officials in Arlington and
Alexandria have asked Federal

Of the best officials baseball ever
knew, to supply the correct answers.
1t was no easy job since President
Frick had to look back through the
lifetime careers of long, long list.
I happened to be with Bill Dickey,
Joe Gordon and Red Rolfe when
Ford put on his quiz-and none of
us came within brassie distance of
hitting the target.
Average Playing Lifetime
"There have been leaguers who
knew only one year of SERVICE"
Prick said. "There have been 9TH
ers, such as Ty Cobb, Pop Arson
and Jack Quinn, who hung on for
nearly Is years. But in adding up
all the figures discovered the
average big league players career
is just 81 years.
Those who passed the 20-year
mark include Cobb, Arson, Wagner,
Ruth, Lajoie, Quinn, Speaker, Cy
Young, and few more. But the av-
erage span is BIZ seasons"
This was a trifle astonishing to
Messrs. Dickey, Gordon and rolfe,
who had guessed from four to six
years.
Question No. 2 is-"How much do
ball players collect, on an average,
through their playing careers?"
MIR. Frick had the answer to this.
The amount" he said, "is $780,
600. This would mean around
$4,000 year. Salaries have
ranged from $1,000 to Babe Ruth's
$50 ,000-and it was Babe Ruth who
lifted the average far above old
levels.
This mark is well above what it
was 10 years ago. 1t is far above
what it was 20 years ago."

A Commonsense Creed.
A thousand times since, when cir
cumstanceS have come into my own
life that have made it completely
uncomfortable for time, I have re-
membered Curtis. His simple little
creed has been passed on to hun
dreds of other lives. 1t is plain
commonsense not to fight your trou-
BILE; grief, handicap, loss: not to
pretend it isn't there or fling your
self screaming on the floor sobbing
that you can't bear it. 1t is wis

can live with it, and see how much
easier that makes it to face.
One of the greatest American
women who ever lived started a ma
tion-wide peace movement 20 years
ago. Thousands of us who we're
younger women saw through her
eyes a vision of world peace; we
knew it might be made real; we
knew that all the nations could live
in peace with their neighbors as
America has for so many years.
For 20 years some of us have been
going about talking peace. Begging
that the unjust decisions and parti-
tions that followed the last war
might be gradually mitigated by the
European powers, that they might
come to see that friendliness is the
invincible weapon and that only
good, and not more bad, can over
come evil in the end.
But we were not strong enough /;
perhaps we were not wise enough /;
we women do not even now, after 20
years as citizens, know our own
power. And so war has come again,
and America must lay down her own
true weapons of reason and neigh
borliness and understanding, and en-
ter into the hideous competition of

Must Begin Work Anew.
We will outlive this war, and when
peace comes again we will begin
our work again. And after many
years and many wars there will be
peace. Meanwhile we have to live
with war again, and it is for every
one of us to live without fear and
without hate, to pray that the days
of battle and sacrifice may be brief,
and to work toward the coming of a
better day. To see, when the war is
over, that no nation is cruelty treat

years this present war has been
slowly forming itself; many things,
simple and easy in themselves,
might have been done to prevent it.
Not one, but hundred injustices
and cruelties and evasion of respon-
sibility on the part of us all, who
were the winners" in 1918, helped
to bring about the condition in which
a great nation went homicidally in

Consider Happiness So Much

1t will help us all if you learn to
live with your daily troubles, what
ever they are. 1t is only waste of
time to spend your days planning
exactly how free and happy you
would be if just one obstacle-your
mother-in-laW, or the mortgage, or
the job, or perhaps even your hus-
band himself-were by some mira
Gle removed from the picture. Worse
than wasting time, to be fretter,
to refuse to face the fact that gen
erationS Of imperfect forefathers

failures, is to hurt yourself. We
ought to regard the happiness and
serenity we get out of this life as
so much velvet" and accept the
difficulties as the normal condition.

bad budgeting, extravaganza, waste

This would be a good time to get

learn some lessons in simple living
in the next few years; why not be
among the smart women who are

For that misery of feeling Door
even while spending too much mon

we don't have to live. Nobody has

the woman who cured herself of the
display and extravaganza, the waste
and responsibility of debt, who has
come down TO bed rock and gotten
clear of bills, knows the real flavor
of life.
Live WITH a Changed America.
So gear spirit and mind to live in
the changed conditions of a soberer

days days of growth. Never doubt
