22 SELECTION OF ARCHITECT IS AGAIN DELAYED Stanim's Absence Will Prob ably Hinder Naming of Ittner at Today's Meeting Because of the absence from the city of A. Carson Sta.nm, president of the City school board, no action was ex pected on the selection of an architect ftt the meeting of the directors late this afternoon. Weeks apro when a special commit tee, of which President Stamm is chair man. recommended the employment of William B. Ittner, of St. Louis, as ar chitect for the city schools, the board refused to accept the report. Since then numerous communications have been received here from all parts of the country where Mr. Ittner has been employed, highly recommending his work. With President Stamm out of the city, however, the selection of an architect will probably be delayed again. The teachers' committee this afternoon recommended that the Civic Club be given permission to conduct a summer school again at the Susque hanna building: the appointment of Miss Margaret Johnson to succeed Miss Helen J. Bright as teacher In the Web ster building; discontinuing of exami nations of pupils In the grades, and the employment of Professors Todd. Shrein er, Hamaker and Sheffer, of Technical High school, during the summer months, at a salary of/$l2O per month. The instructors will be under the di rection of the Buildings committee. They are in charge of the woodwork ing, machine shop and blacksmithing departments at the school. COAST GUARD IN NAVY Washington, D.

Brown, a Cleveland man, was for many years a confirmed drunkard. His friends and relatives despaired of ever redeeming him.

After putting 'he powder in his coffee for for days, he sobered up and has no| taken a drink since, and says he is through with it forever. He also complained that whisky did not taste the same. I "hall not tell him what did it, but 1 am grateful for this help, and I shall recommend it whenever possible."

Railroads Will Merge Men For War Service New York, April 6.—For war serv ice the railroads of the United States will be operated practically as one sys tem. They expect to handle all gov ernment business without seriously in terfering with the nation's normal commerce. A statement issued by Fairfax Harrison, president of , the Southern Railroad and general chair man of the Special Committee on Na tional Defense of the American Rail way Association, says that the rail roads have arranged to give to the government "preferential use of all fa cilities which may be needed for na tional dfense." Under a plan worked out with the quartermaster-general of the army, the government will advise the roads of its requirements and the railroad man agers will then be responsible for pro viding that service. Mr. Harrison says that the railroad companies believe this plan will work out better here than the plan adopted in England, whereby the government immediately assumed responsibility for operation of the railroads.
