ington saved total of 350.823
pounds of waste paper during the
first month of an intensified cam

tee announced today.
Northwest, the largest residential
section, contributed more than half

Maryland and Virginia
Groups Assai| Bill for
u. ). School Subsidy

Oficials of the Maryland Public
Expenditure Council yesterday as
sailed a Senate bill for 100000 900
in Federal grants annually to pub
lie schools throughout the country,
while school authorities attending a
! district meeting of the Virginia
Education Association in Richmond
| adopted committee report stating
that any Federal aid extended to
schools should not be at the expense
Of State control.
Harry S. Middendorf of the Mary
land Public Expenditure Council
declared that the measure is an
opening wedge to pry control OF our
: schools from the States and local
communities and place the control
in the hands of another Federal
bureau"
He also charged that the bill
would constitute labor. subsidy, 80
to 80 per cent of the 100000. 900
would most probably" go for teach
ers' salaries.
Taxpayers of Maryland are not
content to measure the quality OF
education by the amount of teach
ers' salaries alone" he added.
Under the bill. Mr.. Middendort
said, local economy in school ad-
ministration would be "penalized.
No State would receive any subsidy
he asserted, if it reduced either its
total or per pupil expenditures be-
! low that of 1912.
While he admitted that the bill,
specifically prohibits any Federal
official from exercising control over
any local schools, Mr. Middendort
| pointed out that it does require
education progress reports to be
made to Washington, which is the
first logical step in control"
In addition. Mr.. Middendorf main
tanned that the expenditures would
constitute waste of Federal money
at time when every dollar should
be devoted to winning the war"
The report adopted by the Vir-
ginia Education Association stated
| that the States should continue to
exercise complete control of the pub
tic schools.
Any Federal aid. according to the
report. should be extended only
through the State departments of
education and the Federal Govern
ment should deal exclusively with
such departments in the distribution
of any Federal subsidy to public
| education.

PLAIN FACTS AND NO BUNK
LYING LIPS" is A BIG
PICTURE!

LYING LIPS is a big picture,

pensive scale than any colored pic
ture up to this date. Yet, a pic
ture could be so produced-and still
not be a good picture. not interest
ing and no draw at the box office.
Remember this first last and all the
time. a picture must first have a
story-a good story Adapted from
THE CASE OF ELSIE BELL
WOOD" LYING LIPS" carries the
best story any Colored pictured,
barring none, has ever had. It is
not an Imitation" story with Negro
Sheriffs, Colored Judges presiding
over courts in Harlem of all color
ed people, all Negro police depart
ments, all Colored Juries-for there
is no such thing in Harlem or any,
where else in this America. We
have Colored Judges and no end Of
Policemen, including many sarg-
eants, some Lieutenants and a few
Captains; but all work together with
white officers, So we mix our Pol
icemen, III audiences and our mob
scenes. Our story is, however, a.
bout Colored people, was written by
a Negro author and every scene and
every spoken word rings true to
Negro life. Negro life, fortunately
or unfortunately, is different in so
many phases, from the lives of 9TH
er Americans, until this is a fact
to be appreciated, and whether we
Ike it or not, everybody knows this
is true. Meanwhile, Colored people
see the best white pictures every
day and haze become both restless
and impatient for better pictures a.
bout t~hemseles. The Negro picture
of the future, therefore, must be
as well done, as big and as inter
esting as a good white picture, if it
hopes to draw the big crowds and
make the exhibitor money.
