COL. M. M. PATRICK
HEADS AIR SERVICE
Will Succeed MenOher and Re-
ccive Rank as a Major
General.

WAsH1NGToN, Sept 21-Col. Mason
Mathews Patrick of the Corps OF En-
gineers was nominated to-day by Presi-
dent Harding to be chief of the air SER
vice. with the rank OF Major-General.
The nomination of Col. Patrick, who
served as chief OF American expedi-
tionary air service. did not come as
surprise in army circles, as his name
had been mentioned continuously since
Il became known last week that Major
Gen. Menoher had asked to be released
as head of the air service. In order
that Secretary Weeks might have a free
hand in reorganizing that branch of the
army Brig. Gen. Mitchell, assistant
chief. presented his resignation also.
but Mr.. Weeks said to-day that he had
agreed to withdraw it and remain as
assistant chief, at least for the present.
Col. Patrick is native of West Vir-
ginia, and was appointed from that
State to the Military Academy in 1882.
During the war he was first appointed
a Brigadier General of the National
Army and served in that rank as Chief
Engineer. Service and Supply, American
Expeditionary Forces in charge of the
gigantic construction programme in the
supply zones in France. Later, when
difficulty arose with the air programme
of the expeditionary forces, he was
selected by Gen. Pershing as chief of the
air service, and in that capacity served
during the remainder of the war. On
his return to the United States he was
assigned to duty as commander OF the
engineer camp at Camp Humphrey.
where he is now on duty.
Secretary Weeks said recently that
Col. PatriclS's services as chief OF tho
air service In France had been of
very high quality and the War Secre-
tary warmly commended the officers
capacity for organization. even before
1t was known that Col Patrick was TO
be named to succeed Major-Gen. Memo

PRODUCERS WAR BLAMED
FOR SOARING PRICE OF EGGS
Selling Agent Says Rivalry Between New Jersey and
California Associations Is Real Cause for
Recent Boost of 21 Cents Dozen.

Wholesale produce merchants In the
last few days have offered numerous
reasons for the recent advance OF FL
cents a dozen in the wholesale price OF
eggs. but Winfield II. Mapes, selling
agent for the New Jersey Poultry Pro-
ducers Association of 1877 Reade street.
declared last night that the real reason
was rivalry between the egg producers
OF New Jersey and those Of California.
Egg prices began TO jump, Mr.. Mapes
said. when the New Jersey producers de-
termined to sell their eggs at cents a
dozen more than the eggs shipped from
California, and the California producers
retaliated by advancing their prices.
which naturally meant another advance
from the New Jersey producer.
From his Office last night Mr. Mapes
gave out this statement explaining the
advance in the prices of eggs. which now
are selling at 81 cents for the best

Many Appeal to Members of

but Get Little Comfort.
Special Despatch to THE New YosK HERALD.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington -. c.. Sept. I'll.
With the return to Washington OF
members OF Congress the wall OF the
dismissed Government employees is
loud in the land. Pressed by clamor-
ing constituents, Senators and Repre-
sentatives were busy telephoning to
departments asking that clerks and
others be reinstated or retained.
Soon after o'clock the telephone
wires at the Shipping Board were hum
ming with inquiries as to what the
boards policy was regarding retrench-
ment and why so and so was fired.
Chairman Lasker and all the vice
presidents of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, who are the direct heads
of the various divisions in the Ship
ping Board Offices, are all in New
York. and consequently the appeals
came to these Commissioners who are
in Washington and to various sub
ordinates.
Apparently they fell on deaf ears, for
the policy of the board 20 keep as free
as possible from politics Is workins
smoothly. The last thing an applicant
for a position at the Shipping Board
should carry with him nowadays Is
political influence.
A member of the board laid the case
sauarely before Senator to-day when
the latter called up and put out feeiers
rega riding certain of his constituents for
whom he sought jobs. The Commissioner
explained quite frankly that the ooaro
was firing employees right and left. lie
referred the Senator to Chairman Lask-
er's official announcement that nearly
1000 men had been dismissed ana that
the board hoped in the near future 10
reduce its force by another 1000.
The Senator was informed that when
the board engaged business men OF
technical ability to take charge or var
ious phases of the work of the board
and fleet corporation these men had
been promised free hand. They were
told that each would be held responsible
for the efficiency of his own department
and that therefore the board would not
