Congress may think it can foot port

how It is going to ease Its conscience
by lowering taxes on one side of the
house and giving taxes a boost on the
other side is another one of those pro-
blems never solved.
in efficiency of whistles. He made
exhaustive tests and demonstrated
that the location of the locomotive
whistle lr-hind the smokestack and
steam dome reduces ltg efficiency so

placed the whistle ahead of the smoke-
stack and steam dome and greatly in-
creased its carrying power to the front

The entire school wishes at this time
to thank Mr. Green for the splendid
"shoot to shoot” and play ground equip
tneut that he gave to the achool at
Christmas, This was something that
the “little folks” in our school really
needed und the way they stampede the
gangway every day is tin opeu manifest
ation of their approval. Our school is
sadly in need of this type of equipment,
and every one was made happy by
Mr. Green's kindness.
Our Cafeteria is booming right along,
IVe think that we serve splendid meals
for the money and considering the fa-
cilities we have to work with.
We need some soup howls in our
Cafeteria. We have had related calls
for soup, hut owing to the fact that
we hove not howls, we have been un
able to get any. If any one feels that
he can donate one or two bowls from
home, we will lie glad to get them.
We need about forty.
