1WOMAN CONDEMN ~ SCHOOL FURNITURE Association Member Claims Desks Have Been Used for 35 Years. Charges that furniture in several of the Washington schools has been used in them for the past 85 years were made by Mrs, Carrie Golden Smith, at a meeting of the Public school Association of the District of Columbia in the board room of the District Building last night. Mrs. Smith added that in the Van Buren School the furniture is so di- lapitated that some of the seats have no backs to them and that books have to be placed on paper to hold it on the desks. Robert L. Haycock, assistant superintendent of schools, in reply to a question from Mrs, Smith as to the cause of this condtiion, as- scribed it to the lack of sufficient appropriations. The secretary of the association was Instructed to write to Engineer Commissioner Bell and to the Board of Education to inquire why bids for Search for Drink Makes Man Late Getting to Court By tho Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 2.—A stern test was given the old axiom that “honesty is the best policy” when Fred Sussman was two hours late answering his name in court. “I was nervous, so I went to get a couple of ‘jolts,’” he told the magistrate, “and the cops had raided my regular speakeasy and it took me more’n an hour to find another.” He got away with it.
