May Reach Central and Tech. With the beginning of the second semester, officials believe that besides the three named high schools Central and Tech will be forced to adopt emergency methods to accommodate tudents by instituting the em.” Instead of put- s on the two-shift mber, the the new double. ting Tech fresh- sent to the Junior However, the enroll- ment at this sehool is expected to increase so much next semester, offi- cials declare, that the institution will be compelled to adopt the two-shift system. Whether the Tech students now quarfered at Junior High School will be withdrawn and put in classes at the school when the double-shift system Is adopted, officials are un- able to say at present. In planning to place the entire white | high school system on the new basis of operation, officials have stumbled upon another problem, almost as perplex- ing as the one of how to care for the new students. This question is how to give students in the cadet corps enrolled in late afternoon classes an op- portunity to attend drills. Cadets Are Question. Officials hope to make some arrange- ment whereby all students in the cadet organization can be accommodated in | morning classes. They fear, howaver, that this plan canmot be satisfactorily arranged in all the high schools, espe- | cially where the overcrowding is most | serious. Overcrowding in the elementary schools s not expected to be more serious than at present, when the new semester begins. It was.stated that a few isolated cases of congestion. more serious than during the first semester, may arise due to a shift in the popula- tion. But. in_general. ofticials believe the graded school conditions will not change materially. - FOREQUARTERS OF MEAT REMAIN AT HIGH PRICES Because the housewives of Washing- ton refuse to purchase the cheaper cuts of meat, the prices remain high, accord- ing to a prominent butcher today. He pointed out that the housewives will not purchase meat from the hind- quarters, which 1s of the cheaper grade. “They demand the forequarters,” he said, “and as a result, the meat man must place such a price on that portion of the beef in order that he will not lose money by having the hindquarter on his hands.” Meat prices on the local markets to- day were about the same as last week. Pork chops were selling at 40 cents per pound; pork roast, 35 cents per pound: sirloin’ steaks, 40 cents per pound; por- terhouse steaks, 45 cents per pound: chuck roast, 20 cents per pound; round roast, 30 cents per pound; rib roast, 30 cents' per pound. A leg of lamb coujd be had for 35 cents per pound and lamb chops at 45 cents per pound. There were but a few turkeys on the || market and the prevailing price was 65 - cents per pound. Dressed thlekens‘ brought 45 cents per pound and live ones could be had for 37 and 38 cents per | pound. A Fresh tomatoes, which made their ap- pearanée on the market last week, are retailing at 45 cents per pound. In the vegetable line there appears to be a plentiful supp'v. White potatoes were 10 cents per quarter peck; sweet pota- toes, 15 cents per quarter peck; spinach, 15 cents per quarter peck; kale, 10 cents per quarter peck; lettuce, 5 and 10 cents per_heall. Eggs remain high. Fresh ones were retailing at 85 and 90 cents per dozen. Rabbits_were selling at 45 and 50 cents each. Grapefruit could be had at from 5 cents each to 10 cents each and three for 25 cents. : SPECIAL—LOT NO. 2 $35 Tweed Mixture ‘' * 184 rubberized and guaranteed rainproof. Don’t forget the address.
