L LEGISLATORS OFF ON TR T0 SHOALS Members of Both Branches of Congress to Inspect Projects in South. More than a score of members of the Senate agriculture and the House military committees left here last night for a personal inspection of the government's power and nitrate proj- ects at Muscle Shoals and Gorgas, Ala. Pending their return, it was an- nounced, the investigations of the private offers for lease, purchase, completion and operation of the prop- erties will be suspended by the House committee. The Senate portion of the delega- tion was headed by Chairman Norris to | SCHooLS. CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL. Central's faculty dinner on St. Pat- rick's day was a great success. The hundred guests assembled first in “Madame McMonigle's Milli- nery Shop,” where they were fitted out with caps, Vhats or bonnets of green and white from a marvelous stock of a hundred shapes and fan- cles. Thence they were led in a fan- tastic procession by a piper, who looked strangely like, and yet unlike, the principal, Robert Maurer, in an| Alpine shepherd's garb, into the! school library, always a beautiful room, and now especially so, con- verted for the evening into an artistic green and white banqueting hall. Here a cabaret dinner, three hours iong, was enjoyed. Some remarkable | stunts” were originated and “pulled | oft” by members of the faculty. An| of the agriculture committee, o e nner was served by Miss which the offers of Henry Ford, the|Crawford, Central's caleterlay man- Alabama Power Company and Freder- |ager. The business department of the school, represented by Mrs, Steele, Mrs. Merrill, Miss Lasier, Miss Louise Hart and Mr. Roy, won first prize by its one-act comedy, while the admin- ick E.

The House menbers made a similar decision today in ex- ecutive session, and like the Senate committee, voted down suggestions that the delegation visit Memphis, Chattanooga, Atlanta and _other municipalities which had extended in- vitations for the Congressmen to visit with them during their trip. Both the argiculture and military committees will begin active con- sideration of the Muscle Shoals ques- tion as soon as their members return from Alabama, Chairman Norris said the pending offers would be taken up by, the Senate committee and hear- ings held on them collectively. He also announced that, unless he altered his decision while in Alabama, he ‘would introduce a bill in the Senate upon his return, proposing a govern- ment-owned and controlled corpora- tion to take over the question of future development of the Shoals properties. Suggeits One Danger. ““The only. danger to such a prop- osition,” Senator Norris added, “'would be to Keep the corporation out of poli- tics. I think I know a way by which that can be done and will propose it to the Senate when I return.” Chairman Kahn told the House visitors before they departed last night that he planned to resume committee work on the offers as soon as they returned. It was his inten- tion, he said, to conclude public hear- ings about April 1. and begin executive sessions_for’ the preparation of a report to the House within the shortest possi- ble time thereafter. WL HOLD HEARING OVER M STRKE Miss Stevensg Miss Craig and Mrs. Marshall. An original poem, read by Mr. Huntzberger, received honorable mention. All three of these features fairly bristled with home thrusts at members of the faculty and the school situation in general. There were several other enjoyable numbers. Miss Orr wrote words for songs, which were led by “Doc” ‘White, with Miss Margatet White at the piano. The classical language department, led by Dr. Dales, formed itself into a “symphonica classica arrayed in flowing robes, and deliv- ered “The Anvil Chorus™ with spirit on flour sifters, dinner gongs and simlilar instruments. An exciting Irish contest was par- ticipated in_by Mr. Ross_and Mrs. Kellerman, Mr. Kimball “and Mrs. Hawkins, amid the cheers of the au- dience. Miss Burlac read a “Toast to the Faculty.” and Miss Merrill sang two Irish songs. The biologlcal de- partment, Mrs. E. C. Paul and Mr. Doolittle, In appropriate costumes, re- cited “When You Were a Tadpole and | 1 Was a Fish.” The entertainment was directed by Miss Webb, aided by members of the faculty council in particular and by practically every one of the hundred members of the faculty. M ‘Webb is the “exchange” teacher from San Diego, Calif., and the dinner project, at Mr. Maurer's suggestion, came as her “contribution.” "It was such a success that a faculty dinner is al- ready recognized as an institution at Central. After a spirited contest for “place.” the interscholastic debating teams at Central are organized. The difficulty has been not to find enough good tnaterial, but to choose among all the excellent debaters who entered the | “preliminaries” and qualified for the “semi-finals.” A There are two boys' teams of four each—James Aswell, Joseph Levinson. Frankiin Blgelow and Donald Igle- hart, and Hubert Steed, Milton Kor- man, Kobert Rudolph and Facius Davis. Eight girls also qualified Mildred Brown, Norma Johnson. Allc Halnes, Frances Randolph, Christine Fasset!, Agnes McEiroy, Margaret i Somerville and Katherine Lacey. Cen- {tral is confident of the ability of these {four teams to uphold Central's good, name for scholastic achievement in, the interscholastic events which they, will enter this spring. On St. Patrick’'s evening the Bon Miners and Operators to Ap- pear Before House Com- mittee Thursday. Announcement was made yesterday by Chairman Nolan of the House labor committee that hearings would be held next Thursday on the Bland bill proposing intestigation of the coal mining industry by a committee 16 'be appointed by the President. Representatives of both miners and operators will be heard, Chairman Nolan said. Baltimore Parley Faih BALTIMORE, Md.. March 25.—The conference of the scale committees of the Northern West Virginia Coal Operators' Association and _district 17, United Mine Workers of America. was dissolved after a brief -session here this afternoon at which C. Fred Keeney. - district president _of the unior, stated he had no authority to conelude ahy wage contract. - Mr. Keeney, who attended the meeting of the general policy com- niittee of the mine workers union at Cleveland yesterday, said he tried to obtain the committee’s assent for him to conclude a separate agreement for his district, but that the committee refused. = Mr. Keeney expressed regret at his flure inasmuch as he had left the pression at the joint meeting ere, March 13, that he would have he necessary authority at this time. le would continue to fight to obtain this authority, he said, and, if suc- cessful, would ask for another con- ference wiith the operators. John Moore of Columbus, Ohlo, an International Miners' Unidn delegate, Who also attended the Cleveland con- | ference, accompanied Mr. Keeney to Baitimore. Mr. Moore told the con- ference that Mr. Keeney could not conclude a contract and be honest with the operators, because the other states would not let him. He said that several outlying fields offered t6 make contracts for two years, even if the rest of the industry in America closed down, but the policy committee refused to sanction it. FORD FIVE-DAY WEEK - APPROVED BY GOMPERS i i i i | Declares Action Will Be Beneficial to Men and Output—Woll Agrees With Chief. Action of the Ford Motor Company in inaugurating operations of its plants on a five-day basis was gen- arally approved yesterday by Amer- fcan Federation of Labor officials. “Mr. Ford will find the introduction of his_new plan—the five-day week,” said Samuel Gompers, president of the federation, “as beneficial per man and in the aggregate as he found the introduction of the eight-hour- day. both as to quality of output and as to quantity.” ' ‘Matthew Woll, vice president of the federation, in a statement, sald: “Whatever may be sald of Henry Ford, no one will question his ability as a production manager. His re- duction in the working day to eight ‘hours, as well as his reduction in the working week just announced, dem- onstrates clearly that he fully under- stands the human element or factor in production. This action of Henry Ford's is demonstrative evidence of the fact that a reduction in working hours does not mean a reduction in production and shows further that management is one of the important elements in our industrial life and one which if properly .administered will enable the workers to secure a reduction in working hours without loss to the communi “This action of Henry Ford's is even more remarkable at this time when the employers in the printing industry are declining to carry out their contract with the printing trades unlons for the observance of the eight hour day, five days of the week nd the half-holiday on Saturday. his action of Henry Ford's will un- qUestionably help to bring about a betier understanding on this impor- pant labor apd. production problem.” Secour Friendship Club girls were hostesses at a delightful dance in the ballroom of the Y.

At the end of each verse the whole society sang: He's been dreaming. he's been dreaming; 0Of course, it fmn't true. ‘There's not mortal in existence Who such woodrous things could do. ‘The Osiris brings before the school leaders in every activity. TECH HIGH SCHOOL. Tech's annual spring play, “If 1 Were King,” giten at the Central High School auditorium March 23, 24 and 25 by the Tech students, was a great success.

Senlor students in the academic de- partment spent their - observation period Thursday morning at the E. V. Brown School, Chevy Chase, visit- ing Mrs. Gladys Hellman's and Miss Eleanor Dillenbach’s schools. This period of observation was a combined one of the classes in English, peda- gogy and history of education. when it appeared last Tuesday, was so great that the entire edition was sold by noon. There were several rea- sons for such demdnd. The paper published its first cartoon, a clever sketch of some of the students. by Helen McCuilom. The sale, however, is but another proof that it pays to advertise. For several days before the paper appeared the cartoonists of the school were active with crayon at the noon hour urging an advance pur- chase. Their work culminated on Mbnday with all of them sketching at the same time, thus arousing much enthusiasm for Normal News. The staff of cartoonists is composed of Gladys Belfield, Helen McCullom, Vir- ginia Parton.’ Mary Louise Allen, Elaine Arnaud and Miss 'Mary New- comb for the faculty. 5 Student activities occupied the pro- gram at general exercises Friday aft- ernoon, with Helen. Stohlman, ~presi- dent of the students’ council, pre- siding. Edith Claud, for the commit- tee appointed to find a tennis court and swimming pool, reported “being unsuccessful up-to-date, but its ef- forts will not be discontinued. The work of the ever-popular basket ball team was presented by Lu Verne Crabtree. The editor of Normal News, Norma Kale, spoke of plans for the future usefulness of the paper.

Winifred Willlams ex- plained the change In method of ci culacion, and Gladys Belfield repre- sented the advertising department. The efforts of the management of the Normal News shop to give the stu- dents what appear to be the necess ties of schbol life at the lowest pos- sible prices, handled by Mary. Mc- Namara, received enthusiastic ap- proval from the students. Student ac- tivities are booming at Normal, judged by the meeting of Friday aft- ernoon. The basket' ball team is engaged now in playing only return games. Monday night & very closely contest- ed game was played with the team from the Y. W. C. A, which the lat- ter won, leaving the two teams tied for the season. Saturday night the return game will be played with the Arrows in the school gymnasium. In all grades of the practice schools the underweight children are having an extra lunch of milk at the morning recess period. It is an interesting sight to see the little ones from the kindergarten, in the lunchroom, each child drinking milk from a half-pint bottle through a straw. Normal stu- dents are also members of the milk brigade. A number of the under- welghts have crossed the line. From 2 study of the health charts, the class entering in February is the banner dlass, as every chart shows an upward mb. A problem that teachers face every day is the problem of providing work for children who finish aessignments before the majority of their com- panions. Some method must be found 10 prevent forming the habit of wast- ing valuable spare minutes, but & methog. at the same time, that chil- dren ®vill follow voluntarily and happily. Faculty members in charge of the practice schools with the'assistance of Miss Kalb and Miss McKnew have succeeded In providing handwork that should interest not only teachers but mothers who despair at times to keep little hands busy. A cordial Invitation is extended to the latter to visit the practice schools to make a study of what is being done in this line. Mrs. Mulford of the second grade, has small tables and chalrs of suitable helght at the side of the room for use when assigned work is completed. At onc table a child is sawing an article of furnitura from a paper box. At another the last coat of paint ls being put upon a toy dog. In_the corner little weavers are making caps. scarfs or muffs for the doll to wear or hammocks and rugs for its use. 1f a child prefers to read, a tiny table with the word “silence” over it holds the second grade library, where he may find books that he can read on the subjects of the day that inter- est him. i _The fi grade cannot do as much as the second. but these little ones also have their library and knit chains_for gcissors and “whistles. The fourth grade boys have an ex- Libit of jumping 1opes which will be turned over to the Red Cross for dis- tribution . A set of furniture—drop-leaf table, four-poster bed, with steps for mount- ing; grandfather's clock, spinnet and chairs—shows that the third grade has used its spare minutes in study of colonial times. Kindergarten students under Miss McKnew's guidance make many inex- pensive and practical articles that later are taught to the children. Artistic chains are designed, from beads modeled of clay and painted. { Usable garden hats arec made from |Presentation of waste paper. and dolls that are the delight of childhood. from discarded socks, . The problem that the normal faculty is now facing is not what to do, but how to secure the funds to continue such valuable work. Y. M. C. A. SCHOOLS. The Y. M. C.

Students from the school, together with those from Dunbar and the Miner Normal School, are taking advantage of these practical talks, which are illustrated by motion pi ture and Sle{eop(lco views. Two of these lectures were given on Thursday and Friday of this week, and proved very interesting and in- structive. Scientific forestation, the treatment of farm timber, erosion by deforestation, the commercial uses of wood pulp and improved methods of extracting turpentine were the subjects depicted. An exhibit in pan- oramic form accompanies the lectures. At the conclusion of these lectures a new serles for grade school teachers will be given under the same aus- pices. i, Cold weather has delayed the base iball team from taking the field. Through the courtesy of Col. Sherrill, the use of diamond No. 8 at the Mon- ument grounds has been allotted to the school team.

Curtis, and each day a nutritious lunch is served the girls at a minimum cost, the object not being a profit, but better heaith for the students. The lunch is pre- pared by different girls in the school under the supervision of the special students in practical cookery. For the last ‘month milk has been added to the menu, and every day girls, especially those who are under welght, drink it. They watch their weight carefully, take an iInterest in following instructions for their im- provement, and in many Instances have shown increase in weigh health. As a continuance of this health campaign, the regular meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association was so planned as to further this end by bringing to the attention of the parents the important part they must take in assisting the giris to be strong and healthy. The meeting was held at the school Tuesday evening, March 21. In the absence of the president, Miss L. C. Randolph presided. Dr. Roscoe C. Brown of the United States public health service ex- plained what the public health serv- ice is doing to keep the people, com- munity and school fit through per- sonal ~ hygiene, community hygiene and home hyglene. He_ emphasized the necessity of co-operating with the school in giving proper nutrition to children in order that they may do more efficient work. His talk was most interesting and instructive to parents and pupils. Miss A, J. Turner, director of phys- ical training, explained through nu- trition charts made and kept by the puplls \in the Miner Normal School how the school was working with the home to keep close -watch on the girls for health improvement. In ad- dition, she had around the room a number of charts showing the value of different foods. Dr. C. A, Tignor, medical inspector in the schools, in & few remarks Stressed points made by Dr. Brown and Miss Turner from the standpoint of his knowledge of the children un- der_his attention in the schools. He spoke of the aid given by the school nurse and the duty of the parents to carry out instructions given them for the improvement of the child. Mrs. .Emma.Lee Willlams-recited a verse, “The Chick.”” She urged the parents to work with determination ~nd perseverancs for better health for thelr children. | decorations and 1} ,9 l COLLEGES. GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY. Realizing the splendid opportunity for better understanding between the two Americas that will be presented in the forthcoming Brazilian cente- nary celebration, in which the United States government is to participate, the Georgetown School of Foreign Service astudents are striving with marked success to arrange for a pan- American university conference. The Brazilian government, anxious to aid any movement that would tend to strengthen the bonds of friendship between the two continents, is about to give the movement, it is learned, officlal indorsement. ~Kach country in North and South America would send one or more delegates from its universities to convene in a students’ council in Rio de Janeiro for the pur- pose of discussing mutual problems and educational opportunities. Georgetown University will be rep- resented at the conference, Which there is every reason to believe will be called, in connection with the centenary celebration, by Marcellus A. Cremer of Evanston, 111, and New- ton do Pinto Almeida of Rio de Ja neiro. Mr. Cremer is connected with the Latin American division of the Department of Commerce, while Mr. Almeida is now in Brazil, having been called suddenly home on ac- count of illness in his family. The two Georgetown students, en- thusiastic over the way the idea has been grasped by the American and Brazilian governments, are working through Sebastian Sampaio, commer- clal attache of the Brazilian embassy, and Dr. Yanes, assistant dircctor of the Pan-American Union. Last sum- mer three Foreign Service Schooi students went to the students’ con- ference of Latin American universi- ties, held in Guatemala City, the only representatives from the United States. So benefioial did this confe: ence prove to the Foreign Service School in arranging for an extension of its Latin American economic and commercial courses that the school conceived the idea of an all-pan- American students’ council at the Drazilian celebration, at which many governments are to be represented. Encouraging replies have been re ceived from many prominent educa- tional institutions to letters sent out. and there are reasons to believe that a strong representation of American universities will attend the forthcom- ing centenary. Capt. Lawrence Stellings, assistant in export sales practice at the For- vign _Serv 0ol resigned from the_faculty last week and will go to New York city, where he will be- come associated with one of the newspapers. Since recovering _from wounds_received in Belleau Woods, where he fought with the famous 5th Regiment of Marines, Capt. Stall- ings has been dividing his time in doing active newspaper work in Washington and attending the For- cign Service School. He advanced £o well In his studies that he was ap- pointed an assistant professor. Dr. John Paul Goode of the Uni- versity of Chicago lectured at the Foreign Service School Wednesday on “America as a World Power.” A recent valuable conmtribution to the Foreign Service School's library is an edition of “The History and N ture of International Relations. editad by the Rev. Edmund A. Walsh, S. J. former regent of the school, who is now studying economic con- ditions in western Europe. The con- t1ibutors to this volume, which com- prises lectures relivered before the school, are the foremost guthorities on ancient, medieval and modern di- plomacy. They include Cariton J. H. Hayes of Columbia University; Ste- phen P. Duggan, director of the I stitute of International Relations John Bassett Moore, formerly coun- selor of the State Department and professor at Columbia LUniversit Dr. James Brown Scott, secretary the Carnegie Endowment for Inter- national Peace; .

Clary, sec- vetary - treasurer. Representatives Perlman, Ryan, Volk, Hogan and oth- ers of the New York delegation have promised to address the club, as will also Senators Calder and Wadsworth. CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY. The authorities of the university announee that Rev. Peter Guilda: Ph. D., professor of church histor has just completed a new book, Life and Times of John Carroll. First It will be a delight to all historians and true lovers of learning. John Car- roll will ever be the center of inter- est in the history of the Catholic Church and of its hierarchy in the United States, for it was he who conceived the ecclesiastical policy which has since guided his followers. This work of Dr. Guilday is written in a masterly style. One of the biggest events of the school year is being planned by the sophomore class in the nature of a week end affair April 28, 29, 30. A base ball game Friday afternoon with West Virginia_ will open festivities, followed by the annual sophomore hop in the evening. The hop, as planned this year, will be of the best. with something new in the way of and music. Saturday afternoon there: will be a tea dance in the gym from 3 to 6. A base ball game between the freshmen and sophomores the following day will conciude the week end. The committee on arrangements consists of Kelly, chairman: Moore, Myers, Grumley, Kissane, Murphy, Bultman, Kerby, Rooney and Hayes. Posters have been distributed throughout the various halls urging the boys to bring the home-town girl to Washington for the big occasion. The sophomores are determined to make their initial attempt in the so- cial line the “hest ever” and are out to a man to put the affair across. Possibly one of the most interest- ing conferences of the year was held last Wednesday. when Rev. Dr. Peter uilday, professor of church history. occupied the speaker's platform for the faculty. Choosing as his text a passage from “Pilgrim's Progress. Dr. Gullday appealed to the students to learn more of the history of the past and especially of their own country. That the more they know of the history of the great men who found- ed the American government the stronger would be their admiration for those patriots and the stronger their belief in the providential de- sign in_the future of the American republic. Dr. Guilday also empha- sized the fact that the recent en- trance of America into the interna- tional problem has brought about a great deal of criticism against our ideals, and that these criticisms seem to be multiplying in the foreign newspapers. It ~would ,be only through a diligent and " thorough study of the country of the American republic and the idealism which has kept the nation intact that the young Americans of today would be able to gain for themselves that assurance of mind that is so necessary in the presence of hostile criticism. He further observed that no thorough study of the ‘American nation could be made without a desire on the part of /the student to learn more about the historical background of Ameri- can history, and consequently stu- dents would find themselves impelled to learn more and more about the history of those countries:from which those early immigrants. came. The net result-of all this study would be broader, herizon, in the mind of the student and a deeper sympathy in his heart for the course that our lead- ers in the United Siates are taking toward bringing about international peace and amity. - R. J. Smith of East Hartford, Conn., | has been selected by the Shahan De- bating Soclety as its president for the balance of the scholastic year.

Father George Leech gave a talk to the members of the Glee Club last week on the rightful aims and pur- poses of a glee club and its place in scholastic life. Appreciation for good music is earnestly to be desired and can only be obtained by cult! vating one's taste. A university gl%e club is the ideal means to this end. The visiting committee of the uni- versity held its semi-annual meeting on Wednesday last. This committee consists of Archbishop Canevin of Pittsburgh, Bishop O'Connell of Richmond and Mgr. Lavalle of cw York. A report will be made later. Archbishop Curley visited the university that same afternoon and later went to the Catholic Sisters’ College, where a reception was ten- dered him.
