'A—12 %% COUNTY T0 SPEED SCHOOL PROCRAM Montgomery Hopes to Finish | $794,000 P. W. A. Project Next September. By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., November 6—| With acceptance of the P. W. A's| $794,000 school construction appropri- ation now a matter of course, Mont- * gomery County officials set about to- day to speed the building’ prograr through by next September. School Supt. E. W. Broome said that plans for the new structure would be | whipped into final shape at once, so bids may be sought as soon as the| county commissioners and the Board |, of Education complete negotiations. Start Work Next Month. It is expected the money will be made available within a week or 10 ¢ days and actual construction probably | will get under way by December, which would permit completion of the entire program by the outset of the % 1936-37 term. The commissioners, who had ignored the P. W. A. allocation for several months because of a reluctance to in- crease the county’s bonded indebted- ness, finally yielded to the entreaties of civic and educational leaders. A split vote in the Fusion party bloc controlling the board resulted in the favorable decision, with Com- missioner Paul Coughlan joining with the two Democratic organization mem- bers, Robert D. Hagner and Richard H. Lansdale, in favoring acceptance of the Federal allotment. Opposes More Bonds. Fusionis: Commissioners Frank H. Karn and Charles E. King, who op- posed the motion made by Commis- sioner Lansdale, declared they believed the matter should rest for another year. that he favored better schools, but bitterly opposed the imposition of any additional burden upon the taxpayers. Fe pointed out that the board’s action will necessitate bonding the county $560,000 more to repay the 70 per cent of the appropriation. Commissioner Coughlan, in explain- ing his vote, stated that he is con- fident of the enactment of legislation for a reassessment of real property that will raise the county's basis so the school bonds can be paid off with- ou' an increase in the tax rate. Projects Listed. During the meeting a delegation from the Civic League of the central suburban area of Montgomery County appeared before the board and urged that the commissioners take steps to provide a junior high school in the Kensington area. Buildings which will be erected under the program will include the first unit of a new junior high school near Silver Spring; a combination auditorium-gymnasium and classroom at the senior high school in Bethesda; & combination auditorium-gymnasium at the senior high school in Silver Spring and at Sherwood High School in Sandy Spring, and additional class- rooms at the Damascus and Rockville elementary schools. e Erwin Wins at Salt Lake.

JONE of Washington's more con- scientious public school teachers was giving a demonstration to her class of the effects of alcohol on the | human body. The law requires such instruction. Into one glass she poured a quantity | of alcohol, into another water. A water glass, and it thrived. The worm dropped into the alcohol quick- 1y*died. “That, you see, children,” said the teacher, who must remain nameless, “is what alcohol does, and liquor con- | tains a high percentage of alcohol.” Turning to one of the brightest members of her class, she inquired, | “Martin, judging by what you have | just seen, what would you say will happen to the man who drinks liquor?” “He probably won't have worms,” was the unexpected reply. * x % x PUZZLED.

A WHITE-HAIRED Washingtonian tells this strange tale as having happened to him in Detroit many years ago. Late one night, unable to sleep, he left his hotel for a walk. Not familiar with the city, he soon became lost. It was just then that he saw her—that strangely beautiful woman, gowned in white satin—and she was frightened. He offered to escort her home and soon they ar- rived at a big stone house, set far back from the street. It was' late, and since this was in the days of candlelight and hospital- ity, her parents insisted that he spend the night. Tired and a little be- wildered, he was given a burning candle and led to a shadowy, vaulted bed room. As soon as he was alone he began to undress. Then he saw them . . . two shoes sticking out' from under the bed. ‘They were not ordinary shoes resting under a bed. The toes were turned up! He walked over and touched them. They were stiffly upright. He pulled on them and a body came out from under the bed. And sticking in the chest of the man was a pearl- handled dagger! Frightened, he quickly redressed. ‘Then he heard footsteps in the hall. He blew out the candle and hurriedly placed the body of the dead man in the bed he was to have occupied. Then he hid behind the door. A line of light showed on the door- sill. Then the door knob began to turn. The door opened and through the widening crack our friend saw the beautiful girl. But she was not beau- tiful now. A look of flendish hate con- torted her face and her hair hung haggishly over her brow. She came slowly, quietly into the room, AND IN HER UPRAISED HAND WAS A PEARL-HANDLED DAGGER! . Silently she crept toward the bed where her recent escort was supposed to be sleeping. For a moment the girl looked down on the sheet-covered body and her face twisted into a horrible mask of hate. Then the hand clutching the dagger descended and as our friend fled through the open door HE HEARD THE SICKENING THUMP AS THE HILT STOPPED THE MURDEROUS TRUST. * Kk k% KINDLING PARTY.

MEXICO CITY, November 6.— Catholic leaders in Mexico expressed extreme disappointment today at the latest declaration of the Government'’s religious policies in which Silvano Barba Gonzales, secretary of inte- rior, asserted there would be no mod- ification of present laws. “We had hoped that the govern- one day after his wife nad taken the car and found the problem of who the seat should fit had been solved.

In other words, there is in reality no freedom of education, de- spite what the government says.” In his letter addressed to Arch- bishop Pascual Diaz, and other church leaders, Barba Gonzalez said the gov- ernment would not interfere with the right of citizens to worship in their churches or homes or to give their children religious instruction in those places. He declared that socialistic educa- tion, which Catholics term anti-re- ligious, was in effect a guarantee of the freedoin of conscience which Catholics seek, since it does not teach any religion but leaves a child free to choose the one “which best suits his mystic instincts.” The Catholic leaders had asked 7’ 29/ modification of a decree providing for | confiscation of private homes or | buildings in which religious services | were held or religious education given.

Making speed records tests the pilot as well as his plane. Camels never make me jumpy or bother my physical ‘con- dition’ in any way. As the athletes say, Camels are so mild they don’t get the wind.

And each Camel renews the zest and enjoyment of the last one!” “I appreciate the mellow flavor of Camels,” says Sir CharlesKingsford-Smith,the transpacific flyer (right), in a recent interview. “Camels refresh me so when I'm fa- tigued,” he continues, “and they are so mild that I can smoke any number without throwing my nerves offkey.” e YOULL FIND THAT CAMELS ARE MILD, TOO—BETTER FOR STEADY ; SMOKING TUNE IN!
