b MONTGOMERY MAY SEEK BOND IGSUE Legisiation for Additional| School Needs Contemplated by Survey. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., December 27— In addition to authorizing a bond issue of more than $300,000 to take care of | cmergency public school construction | + ia the county, to which legislation the county's legisiators pledged themselves | vopuais father will be standing up before the building program was| launched, the Legislature, which meets | early next month, will be asked to au- thorize a bond issue for rather exten-| sive school building operations. Prof. Edwin W. Broome, county su-| perintendent of schools, has been study- | ing the situation, with a view to sub- mitting suggestions to the county board of education and the county commis- sioners, and as a result of his survey, based largely on the recent census taken by the public school teachers and on information gathered in other ways, has prepared a starement of school needs. A copy of the statement has been sent to each county commissioner and | each member of the county board of | cducation. Laboratory Rooms Needed. According to Prof. Broome’s survey, the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School | needs laboratory rooms for the senior | high school sciences, rooms for the commercial department and rooms for the shop for boys, the estimated cost of which would be $35,850; six class rooms, two of which for probable use as a study hall, to be added to the audi- torium-gymnasium building, to cost ap- proximately $47,200, and to complete the entire plant a unit to contain do- mestic science rooms and probably ten class rooms, to cost around $65,000. The needs of the Chevy Chase Ele- mentary School were found by Prof. Broome to include the erection of a new building, as, in Prof. Broome's | opinion, the present building cannot be added to. The first unit of such build- ing would cost approximately $86,888, and the second unit, which would com- plete the structure, would mean an ex- penditure of something like $127,096. The site, upon which an option has al- ready been obtained, would cost $8,500. A second story will have to be added to the Glen Echo-Cabin John Junior High School and Elementary School. This will add six class rooms, to cost about $29,500. The East Silver Spring Elementary School needs a second story to provide six more class rooms, costing | something like $29,500. Sandy Spring Needs. Enlargement of the assembly hall and the addition of one elementary room should be provided for the Sandy Spring High School, according to the state- ment, the cost of which would be $9,300; a new two-room building, to cost $11,- 000, is suggested for Washington Grove, as is a three-room building, to cost $16,- 000, 2t Colesville, and $5,500 should be provided for new colored school build- ings. The report suggests acquisition of “advance” sites for an elementary school at Alta Vista, elementary school in the Chevy Chase Lake reighborhood and separate senior high school for the Takoma Park-Silver Spring community, the three sites to cost around $50,000. “The Rockville primary rooms are perhaps the poorest schooirooms in the county,” states the report, “but there is a hopeful possibility of a plan for the improvement of the old Academy Building for the primary grades through the co-operation of the Academy trus- ‘eelgéflmu action on Prof. Broome's suggestions is expected to be taken at the next meeting of the county board of education, and the new building pro- gram will, it is undm%sbe ready for consideration of the lature early in the session.

And some- where in the back of Carnegie Hall with a lot of other music lovers who | canot get ticketk, as every seat was sold | weeks ago. After ten months’ retirement—taken in order that Yehudi might get away from crowds and be “just a boy” for a while—he has again come out of the West with his fiddle under his arm. And New York has already paid down thousands of dollars to hear him. Yehudi cannot even get passes for his friends into the concert tonight. Concert Tour Limited. When Yehudi made his debut here a year ago he was given a welcome such as few musicians ever get. It equaled that of Jascha Heifetz ten years ago. | Before that, he had made a sensational rting on he will play ofily about ten times. His | parents have set the limit. It is rumored that his managers have had to turn down $200,000 worth of business. | But after he has played his ten con- cisco and his algebra and will not play again in public for at least seven months. Yehudi is a hero in New York, and | New York loves to make a fuss over her | heroes. But she cannot make a fuss| over Yehudi. For instance, after that concert tonight, Yehudi and his father will go straight back to their hotel— | without the boy's having met a single | admirer. A few old friends, a very few, will accompany them, and everybody | will have ice cream. That will be a| real party for Yehudi. 1 Yehudi and his father arrived in New | York last Friday.

Yehudi didn’t go. He had a cold, and anyway he is not permitted to stay up late un- less he is playing in public. So last night La Argentina journeyed from the Savoy-Plaza on Fifth avenue to a family hotel in the West 80's—to have dinner with Yehudi Menuhin. | Yehudi Menuhin may be a musical | sensation, but he is not going to be a | sppilt “child prodigy.” Not if his father and mother—who not so many years ago were struggling to work their way | through New York University so they could teach school—can help it.

Refined Foods Are Blamed for Decaying Teeth, Most Common Defects of Children | By the Associated Press. Decaying teeth are the most ccmmon . defects of school children and are pres- ent in about 90 per cent of them, the United States Bureau of Education re- ports in calling attention to a study made recently of prevention and treat- ment of such conditions. It stated that this is due to changes made in man’s diet as he became civ- 1lized, certain substances essential for making sound teeth having been too scanty in overrefined foods. “Some races,” the bureau sald, “which have followed more closely A nature’s laws in this respect still have | good teeth. Heredity has been mace the scapegoat for bad teeth, but al- | though good teeth ‘run in families’ to some extent, family food habits and | other hygienic measures are at the bot- tom of this good fortune. If heredity were an important factor, dental decay would never have occurred, for time was when it did not exist, and cer- tainly bad teeth have not been an aid to survival. Heredity tendency should be even more strongly influential for the production of good teeth than of bad ones.” Baking Chickens Large milk-fed bakers, average weight up to 5 pounds.
