ficient repairTnan and equipped TO make
emergency repairs and in case of break
down to tow the crippled car TO garage.
This feature of the tour affords entrants
the maximum of security.
The scheduled run each day Is not
longer than the average tourist would
make if travelling alone. No excessive
speeding is permitted.
The great social feature of the tour is
the receptions at the various stopping
places Cards TO various clubs along the
route have been received by members OF
tho party. and several banquets and
smokers have been arranged.
The officials Of the tour participated
in the Ghdden. Munsey, Herald-Atlantic
Journal and Scarborough, and the ex-
perience gained on those tours will insure

the Inconvenience Of the former tours
will appear IN the Green Book Tour

SO, SAG UNEASY ONES.
That Many Now Holding Jobs in Washing
ton, c. s. G. Reports.

Washington, ID. e., Dec. y.
Leaders who intend TO inject greater
efficiency into the Government were in
tensely interested yesterday in a report
made public by the Civil Service Com
mission showing that there were SO, ,S46
Federal employees in Washington. This
Is in contrast to S,227 on April |, 1917,
representing, therefore, more than a
doubling of clerks during the war.
At present reduction in the person.
mel is contemplated which will bring the
figure to 9,346, but this is not expected
to take place until two years have elapsed.
The Republican efficiency advocates de
clare this is not sufficient, and that far
more clerks must be dropped in order to
effect saving for the taxpayers.
Most of the additional clerks are on
the rolls of the War and Navy Depart
ments, and it has been there the great
est cuts have taken place within the
last few months. At the time of the armis-
tice there were III 760 clerks in Washing
ton. 80 that the reduction since the war
has amounted to something like 10000.
IL is the hope of some of those who want
TO trim the lists that the Government will
be able, If efficient methods are employed,
to get along with the same number of
clerks who were on hand before the war.
