Part in Devising Program

EFFICIENCY CHIEF AIM
ATLANTIC CITY. June I.

a. Philadelphians play an important part in
y.Na Council of the National Civil Service
ipeform League, which is In session here
. toaay TO adopt an administrative efficiency
.srogram for the Federal Government. OF
ihe score of members present eight are from
philadelphia, namely:
Lewis II. Van Dusen, Cyrus d. Foss, Jr.
~ Henry Walnut, Albert Smith Taught
s,,oorqe Burnham, Jr., ,R. Francis Wood
,Sronk NJ. Ritter and Charles Richardson.
'.1 Ntr Van Dusen is also member of the
1Is ssc,,tlve committee which drafted the pro-
arom laid before the council for adoption
tbis morning. He made the following state
nent. explaining the report:
"Our first purpose is the effective prosecu-
s,,oJ of the war. To this everything else
44,,s. now must be subordinate. We have
precoISS1ended a program which we believe
Iii inSire the maximum efficiency in gov
ernment administration.
"The proposal is simply TO provide ade-
cuate facilities for testing the ability and
..striotisp, of every person who enters the
nonnilitary service Of the Government, and
afor assisting private industry engaged in
war work to obtain the qualified workmen
Il needs.
I'VE propose to do away with red tape in
oyhis work At the same time we desire to
5,roy.ide all practicable safeguards against
lfavorltism and against spies
hss 'gTo accomplish this we have at the re-
-onest of the commercial economy board of
rthe Council of National Defense, made a
thorough study of the Governments en-
nlovment problem and have recommended
that a special war appropriation be made
for the United States Civil Service Com
ynission and that the commission be as
sisted by an expert committee on employ
nent to be created in the Council of Ma
.tional Defense"
sThis committee" Mr.. Van Dusen con-
tinued would be charged with the i'm
nortant work Of studying and cO-ordinating
the employment needs of all the Govern
ment departments, just as the Council of
National Defense, through other commit
tees, is studying and co-ordinating the mate
rial requirements of the Government in
every department"
As soon as the report is officially adopted
BY the Council of the National Civil Service
Reform League it will be forwarded to the
Council Of National Defense in Washing
ton.

1t is our intention to cover this subject
shortly through articles and Illustrations
i'm this paper. In the meantime we will he
glad TO answer any questions you may wish
to ask.
+. l.. R.--A shingle roof is good and will
last long time, although not as long as
slate. The advantage of shingles are, that
they will make much cooler attic than
slate. they can be stained any color and they
will always give a softer and mere artistic
appearance to your house,
NJ S. I've would advise that you
place your difficulties in the hands of an
architect one. If possible, who can be rec
commended by some one you know.
+. N.--A stone fireplace is generally very
good in large, simply designed rooms. 1t
is apt to look out of harmony in usual
sized living room. a fireplace of brick or
tile would probably be better,

REV. Ed F. COOK
IN BIG POSITION
FORMER BRUNSWICK PASTOR is
NOW IN FACULTY OF MOODY
BIBLE INSTITUTE.

Rev. Ed F. Cook, D. D., the foreign
mission secretary OF the Methodist
Episcopal church. South, has recent
ly rendered his resignation to the
board OF missions and has accepted
a place in the faculty of the Moody
Bible Institute as director of the de-
partment of missions.
DR.. Cook is a member of the South
Georgia Conference, and was called
to the service of the church at large
eleven years ago as the secretary of
the educational department OF the
board of missions. In this field he
rendered pioneer service, this depart
ment of the board now being the
source of the boards approach to the
church at home in the cultivation of
missionary interest and liberality.
His call to the Moody Bible Insti-
tute is token of the esteem in which
he is held outside of the Southern
Methodist church, and indicates the
valuation placed upon missionary
leadership at time when the United
States is to be called upon as never
before to furnish men and means for
the Christian propaganda.
DR.. Cook served as a pastor and pre-
siding elder in South Georgia, and has
many friends among the people of our
section. AS pastor of First church
in Brunswick and OF Wesley Monu-
mental in Savannah, he is best re-
in his pastoral service.

GALA COMMITTEE
AFTER WARSH|PS
LOCAL COMMITTEE MAY GO TO
WASHINGTON TO CONFER
WITH SEC. DANIELS.

Because repeated efforts of the
Board OF Trade, through Senators
Hardwick ana Smith and Congress
man Walker, a2d also direct to AS
sistant Secretary OF the Navy Frank
lin ID. Roosevelt, have so far failed
to secure definite answer from the
secretary of the navy as to whether
while the prospects of immediate wal
with Germany are impending. war
ships will be ordered to Brunswick
for Gala Week, an effort is being
made by the Gala Week committee
to induce several prominent citizens
10 make the trip OF Washington as
delegation to call on the secretary
OF the navy and urge in person the
sending OF vessels of the navy.
In response to the last appeal of
the Board of Trade, Senator Hardwick
telegraphed as follows:
Secretary of the navy advises me
1t is impossible for him to say def.
nitely what he can do with reference
to sending submarines and battleships
To Brunswick for Gala Week. but that
he will bear the matter in mind ana
hopes to be able to comply with your
request | hope that he may be able
to do So"
A copy of the letter written to Sen
ator Hardwick on the 18th by Jose
plus Daniels, secretary of the navy.
was rereived yesterday by the Board
OF Trade from the senator. The let
ter is as follows:
Il beg to acknowledge the releipt
OF your letter OF Feb. II, by whish
you forward copy of a letter from
the secretary OF tho Brunswick Board
of Trade, in regard to sending naval
vessels to Brunswick doring Gala
Week.
Il note that shch an arrangement
would be OF great educational value
and would be OF benefit to the navy
in general. l regret exceedingly that
definite plans fcr the visit cannot be
made at this time, but your request
will be carefully borne in mind, and
an effort viii be made to comply if
circumstances at the time will per
nit"
The Board of Trade endeavored to
secure an answer by pleading the
value to the navy Of sending the YES
sells OF various classes and types for
exhibition to the thousands of people
from the interior who will be in
Brunswick dufing Gala Week.
