34 SCHOOL OFFICIALS OPPOSE CONTESTS Essay Competitions and Spe- cial Weeks by Outside Agencies Frowned On. Encouragement for the conduet of essay contests within the public schoois by outside agencies was withheld by the Board of Education at its meeting | yesterday, when, at the recommenda- tion of its committee on confests and student activities, the full membership refused to permit two proposed essay competitions and the observation of a special “week” in the schools. Tbe Sorgas Society had petitioned the board for authority to conduct an essay contest on the general subject of ood health through a letter addressed the school authorities by Dr. Frank Martin, president of the society. The Sons of the Revolution similarly had asked for authority to sponsor an essay contest on a patriotic theme. The board disposed of these petitions by or- dering a copy of its regulations gov- erning essay contests sent to the or-| ganizations. permanent Scptember 1: S. A. L.

On the ground that the detailed busi- ness of the opening of the 1928-29 school would not permit the divi the students’ attention on extra-cur- ricula activities, the board refused to| authorize the observation here of “Con- stitution week,” which is being spon- | sored by the Constitutional Educational Association of Chicago. The advisabil- ity of allowing the school children of Washington to take active part in the memorial exercises to Theodore Roose- velt, which will be conducted October 27 by the Roosevelt Memorial Association, | was placed at the discretion of Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools. The board yesterday decided to as the District Commissioners for a de- ficiency fund of $20.000 to be used in the completion of the Morgan School Building. Two Fences Ordered. ‘The board authorized the construc- | tion of a wire fence along the west boundary of the Ketcham School unds at a cost of $650 and a similar fence at the north boundary of the H. D. Cooke School grounds at a cost of $250. The motion picture booth at Eastern High School was ordered en- larged at a cost of $180, while heating equipment was ordered placed in the teachers’ retiring room at the Doug- lass-Twining School at a cost of $265.

Syphax, teacher, from Cook The great demand for moderately priced first-class hearing aids caused a group of earphone experts to form a company and to engage in the ac- quisition and rebuilding of all avail- able discarded and shopworn devices. They are being rebuilt from the ground up and with the best material obtainable. The finished product is equal to new. In fact, the instruments turned out cannot be distinguished from the ones put on the market by their re- spective manufacturers, The instru- ‘ments are sold to the public at one- half off current list prices. Earphones do not bring about a cure. Their action, however, is bene- ficial because the vibratory effect afforded the users causes the breaking up and pulling apart of adhesions. This has a tendency of retarding progressive deafness. The greatest difficulty, that is, the selection of the proper type and style, is largely eliminated when those in need of a hearing aid can test and compare a collection of practically all known types. Their chances for deciding upon the proper type and model are infinitely greater than when confining themselves to trying out instruments of a certain brand or manufacture. The new corporation will place before the public an array of prac- REBUILT EARPHONES FOR THE DEAF New York Corporation Specializes in Completely Rebuilding and Modernizing All Types of Earphones lass, teacher, from Dunbar h Schoo! to Cardozo High School; Miss L.

Douglas Store in Washington children 905 Pennsylvania Ave., eat twice as much of this bread as any other brand - - ““The most economical loaf obtainable” “I find Rice's the most economical loaf obe tainabie, simply because my family eats every slice of it. 4] “It is fresh, nourishing and the best in texture. I have madé bread myself, and the texture of my bread doesn't compare with the texture of Rice's. “Rice’s is well baked and has a good crust. 1 find it splendid for making sandwiches. We find Rice’s Bread superior to any other and always expect to buy it.” Mrs. Emily Jarboe, 418 Kenyon St., N. W. “There is bread and bread—and Rice's is the bread for us. My children and other members of this family eat twice as much of this bread as of any other brand. S BREAD just bread to most housewives—all the different brands just about the same, and no one brand of outstanding enough merit to matter? We wanted to find out and so we asked the Washington housewives to tell us. In hundreds of letters which we gotinreply, welearned that house- wives have a very active apprecia- tion of the differences in bread. They judge bread carefully for taste, wholesomeness, nourish- ment, freshness, for keeping, slicing and toasting qualities, for ‘“Makes delightful sandwiches”’ 2 texture and economy, forits white- ness of crumb and brownness of crust. All these qualities they say they - find in Rice’s Bread in greater per- fection than in any other brand. - - - Reap the four letters below and let these four practical housewives tell you why they never buy any bread but Rice’s. .And when you've read them you will want to buy Rice’s, too. You can get it right at your own grocer’s, fresh twice daily. “It suits my family and we do net tire of it”’ “It is always fresh, and the pure whiteness and fine grain speak for the presence of milk. It is salted enough, and browned so thoroughly that one knows it is well baked. ““The sandwich loaf makes the prize toast and neatest sandwich. No mat- ter how thin the slice is cut, it never breaks or separates when spreading It is always the same=—tomorrow's loaves the same as the first purchased. It can be relied on.” Mrs. Frances Nicholson, 2132 F St., N. W. ““There is one thing we housewives desire, and that is good, whole- some bread. 1 have always found Rice’s desirable. It makes delight- ful sandwiches. When one takes long trips, one needs refreshment, and if the bread is refreshing, Rice’s always is, then one soon feels strengthened. For informal dinners or when an unexpected guest arrives, one has only to add Rice’s bread and it puts a finishing touch to the simplest meal.” Mrs. C. A. Russell, 4720-5th St., N. W. “I find that Rice’s Bread suits each member of my family and we do not tire of it. It is fine in texture, light and digestible, it keeps fresh, it is excellent for lunches and it certainly does make nice crisp toast. When my children tun in from school, hungry, they are. 4l- ways ready for ‘A big slice of that nice soft bread with some butter on it.” What can you ask more of bread?” Mrs. John Petar, “ 4408 lllinois Ave., N.
