The new campulsory sch gance and school census b y the board of education was dis- cussed at a meeting of the executive committee of the Consumers' League of the District Wednesday afternoon at 1022 11th street. Among those ¥ho spoke on the measure were Mrs. Walter Ufford, Mrs. Edward Costigan, Dr. John A. Ryan, Miss Natalie Mat- thows and Miss Sarah Ban Gundy. While far in advance of the present school attendance law, the new legis- lation proposed, it _was pointed out, will not bring the District up to the standards in many of the states. The mew bill will make attendance at school compulsory up to the age of sixteen years. In eight states, it was sald, attendance at school is required np to the age of eighteen vears, in five other states up to the. age of Seventeen years; twenty-eight states to the age of sixteen years, and one state to fifteen years.

Youth is everything that matters, she has no Tespect for age, and she all the maxims of the sage. And the jarred and rattled- thmker looks upon her with dlsllla) “She’s a corker and a clinker,” sad bystanders hear him say. In that far off youth of hisn damsels - followed sheltersd walks. and a girl would be in prison who would ‘talk as Flora talks. All the ancient things go smashing, all the landmarks are destroyed, and his teeth are sore from gnashing, he is angry and annoyed. But methivks that Fiora's springing just a harm- less little bluff; as the hurried yea go winging she’ll be prim and staid | enough. Youth is evermore revzit- ing, planning some volca youth is always bent on jolting this old planet from its groove. But the years go speeding, speeding, and the wearied Jacks and Jills put on glasses and are reading labels on a ox of pills. We old gents were once desirous of upsetting this and that, but such matters only tire us, now that we are gra- and fat. So we should regard the bluffing of the flapper with a smile; life will surely knock the stufing from her pipe dreams in a while. (Copyright.) WALT MASON. HOUSE APPROVES FUND FOR RENT COMMISSION Also Concurs in Senate Amendment Providing Pay for Jurors in Supreme Court. The House agreed yesterday to con- cur in two Senate amendments on the urgent deficiency appropriation bill One of these continues the appropria- tion for the Rent Commission, which otherwise would automatically expire today. Representative Tho: L. Blanton. Democrat. Texas, spoke vigorously in opposition to this appropriation. He declared that the Rent Commission “'a travesty on justice,” but his objec- tion was overruled by a vote of 49 to 3. The House also approved the pro- vision carrying $16,000 for fees for jurors in the Supreme Court of the District, where funds for this purpose have become depleted.
