Snow fell heavily from dusk to about midnight, but thinned out as day approached, permitting workmen to clear the sidewalks and streets in the busi- ness districts of Brooklyn and Manhattan, Surface and elevated lines were operated on “rush hour” schedules throughout the night so that the tracks might be kept clear, and there “was little delay to office workers this morning as a result. Incoming ships, anchored outside the harbor entrance during the blindlng storm, prepared to pro- ceed to their docks this morning. Police reported one death due to the storm—that of a six-year-old boy who was run down when the driver of an_automobile, blinded by the snow, failed to see him. ground that the so-called beauty cburse is superficial, and that the pur- chase of the requisite supplies of cold {creams, shampoo olls, etc., would be jan improper expenditure of public funds, basing the authority of their action on an old law. Dr. Simon, how~ ever, cited the organic act of 1906, which gives the board the authority to direct the expenditures of the schools,” pointing out that .the ad- justment of the controversy, in his opinion, rested ientirely on the Inter- pretation of the law Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant su- perintendent in charge of colored schools, and Mrs. Coralie F. Cook ongly emphasized the need for the rdressing and manlcuring course. Not Beauty Culture Course. They declared it was not intended as a “beauty culture course’ but as instruction for an honorable and necessary vocation by which some pupils could later earn their liveli- hoGd. Mrs. Cook said that the colored community interested in the course deeply regretted the action of the Commissioners in withholding the appropriation for supplies. Private funds, she sal tinue the cour: ssary. Although the board manifested emo- tionally and verbally its grave con- cern over the action of the Comm sioners, President Simon voiced the opinion that the controversy could be settled amicably. “There ought to be a conciliatory way out of this dif- ficulty,” he said. “There is no reason why we should quarrel with the Com- missioners.” Attorneys on Committee. mittee appointed by Dr. to “lock horns” with the Com- oners in an effort to adjust the dispute is compo of James T. Lioyd, Daniel J. Callahan and Wil- iam L. Houston, twe of whom are practicing attorneys A committee composed of Supt. Frank W. Ballou, Edwin C. Graham and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson also was appointed to make, with the Commis- sioners, a joint inspection tour of the government property at Mount Weather, near Bluemont, Va, which has been proposed by Henry K. Bush- Brown as a site for a summer school for District schoolgirls. The proposi- tion was commented on favorably by Dr. Ballou and the Board members. After the. inspection trip the board will take formal action on the plan. Pamphlets printea by the Piney Branch Citizens' Association, urging cation of the proposed new Me- Manual Training School on the Upshur street proerty now owned by the District, were distributed to board members. Dr. Ballou advised locating_the school near the new Junior High School, in Eckington, pointing out that if it is erected on the Upshur street site it would neces- sitate an expenditure of $1,500,000 in the near future for the construction of a senfor high school in the north- east section. Commencement Dates Set. Dates for the midyear commence- ment exercises in the white normal, senior and jinior high schools were announced as follows: Central, January 31, 8 p.m.; West- ern, January 31, 11 am.; Business (two-year course), January 29, 8 p.m.; Business. (four-year course), January 30, 8 pm.; McKinley, January 31, 8 p.m.; Wilson Normal, January 27, 8 p.m., and Columbia Junior High, Jan- uary 30, 1 p.m. McKinley will hold its commencement exercises in the Wil- son Normal School auditorium. The her schools will use their own audi- riums for this purpose. he board acknowledged receipt of a resolution from the Mid-City Citi- zens' Association urging the placing of an American flag in every class- room. Supertendent Ballou remarked that the appropriation for school flags was insufficient to repluce the wornout flags flying from the top of school buildings, and that it is not possible at the present time to put a flag in every classroom. Eckington Site Indorsed. Communicatfons from the North Cabitol and Eckington Citizens' As- soclation indorsing the Eckington site for the new McKinley High School, and from the Michigan Park Citizens' Association requesting that the Bunker Hill School, now used by colored children, be turned over 'to White children 'in that community, where there are no school facilities, also were acknowledged by hoard, The latter was referred to the superintendent.

Vastly Increased in 1922, By the Associated Pre BERLIN, January 4—Germany ex- ported 917,000 double centners of pot- ash to the United States during the first nine months of 1922, as com- pared with 114,000 double centners during the similar period of 1921, ac- corfling to figures made public here. (A double centner equals 200 pounds.) The total production in Germany last vear is estimated at nearly 13,- 000,000 double centners of pure pot- ash, or an increase-of about 3.800,000 over 1921. The highest pre-war an- nual production was in 1913, amount- ing to 11,103,000 double centners. The achievements' of 1922 were effected ! notwithstanding the loss of mines in Alsace-Lorraine, which are now com- Dpetitors of the German syndicate and which in 1921 produced 1,106,000 double centners of potash.
