URGES GOVERNMENT TO
 ABANDON "sPoILs SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, D. c. (By Mail An appeal to the party in power to turn it's back on the "spoils system" and adopt thorough-going appliea- tion of the merit principle was made by Richard H. Dana, Boston presi- dent of the National Civil Service Reform League, in an address re- gently before the annual convention
 Let me ask the administration, {" he said," whether there is any other issue it could now take up which would so appeal to the public at large and so rebound to it's own credit in the history of the country. Experience has shown, that any fla grant use of patronage always loses votes for the party responsible"
 Mir. Dana said that counting employees of states, counties, m1n- icipalities and townships, the army of civilian public employees in inc United States enumbers above 3,9O0 GOO, or one for every seven families The payroll Of this army is about sS, S,O0o,o0O.O00 a year, of which s6.o0O,OO0.o00 is spent by the fed eral government.
 One quarter of the total of sal aries paid, Mir. Dana charged is wasted in supernumerary employees unnecessary duplication of work, adequate management and antiuuat- ed methods. #
 Could waste be stopped in the public service" he said there would be a saving to our over-taxed coun- try of s7oo,ooO,OOO a year"
 The Civil Service Reform League proposed two methods of eliminating this waste, MT. Dana said. First by turning efficiency and employ ment experts into the various de- partments to replace the inefficient, standardize work, modernize methods and put promotion on a basis of merit instead of seniority or political pull. Second by requiring that off cials in the higher grades responsible for the management Of the lower grades, be selected on account of fitness
 Mr. Danan appealed to the ad- ministration, to Congress and the general public to suppor. this prO- gram.
 .'We as a country, have let mat ters drift on far too long" he said "We are not only wasting our pat rimOny, but are continuing bad hab- its which are becoming more firmly fixed" .-...

AMERICA GREATER LAND OF
 BEAUTY THAN ABROAD
PRESENTATION. fRv Main-Ar

NAOhLNUION, khy mdu1-An- ericans who spend millions abroad for scenery and recreation are told in the annual report of the Nation al Park Service, made public today, that these may be found in greater abundance and beauty in their na- tive land.
 Winter sports, now in the minds of those who can afford the ever in- creasing cost of a trip to Font Romeu in the French Pyrenees, or somewhere in the Swiss Alps, are among the things that may be had here at home. The report calls at- tention to '+the unexcelled opportun- ities offered in the national parks for winter vacationing and winter sports" and asserts:
 Those in Yosemite Valley are de- clared to surpass the offerings of many foreign winter resorts. Rocky Mountain, Mount Rainier, and La fayette National parks are also avail ble for winter sports in surroundings unexcelled."
 Advantages of the national parks for all year round activities are also portrayed. Yellowstone, and the oter parks offer scenic possibilities, and accomodations are offered 'to meet the varied tastes and all degrees of income, means and inclinations. !"
 Stephen P. Mather, Director of the National Park Service in send ing the report to Secretary Fall re- view the history of Americas parks and their increasing popularity as evidenced during the past year, which marked the 50th anniversary of Yellowstone.
 During the past year a million and quarter persons visited the parks, an increase of nearly fifty thousand over the record establish ed the year before This showed an increase of approximately 8s2 ,oo0 over the visitors in 1915.
 Yellowstone Park is reported as having had it's most successful sea- son. Of the 51,506 motorists coming in their own cars, 50,000 camps out ! in the free public camp grounds with their own equipment. The park trail system was used by saddle horse parties more than ever be- fore. Yellowstone Park probably of fers the best trout fishing in the country.
 'In Spite of severe winter the park antelope herd was the only one to suffer much loss. This loss is re- ported as having been largely made up rapidly by birth of kids during the summer. The buffalo herd is in- creasing rapidly so that legislation is needed authorizing the disposition of surplus buffalo in order to keep the herd within the winter feeding capacity of the hay ranch.
 Travel into Yosemite Park pass ed the 100000 mark in spite of the poor condition of the park roads. It would seem that the time has now come when, if the government is to fulfil it's obligations to the people visiting Yosemite, Congress should poyide ample funds for the improve ment of the park road system.
 "Grand Canyon Park is enjoying it's greatest year as a tourist resort S4.7oO persons having visited it the past year. In order that visitors would make wider use of the Can yon trails and thus gain a compre- hensive view of the vastness of the gorge and it's wonders below the rim new tourist facility, The Phantom Ranch was built near the mouth of Bright Angel Greek at the bottom of the Canyon.

CITY DIRECTORY
SHOWS 1857
PEOPLE I IN s. ID.

San Diegs's city directory for
1928 appeared yesterday. The book
illustrates in figures and compre-
hensive summary the actual
growth of this city since the 1922
directory was issued.
The new directory has 1896
pages, while last years edition was
1893 pages, showing an increase
of nearly 200 pages over the pre-
vious edition. The latest popu-
lation of San Diego, according to
the new publication, is now 1866
Last year population was esti-
mated at 112,012. According to
information gathered in the direc-
terry canvass the population of the
San Diego Bay district is 142, ,046.
Last years canvass of the same
region returned an estimate of 1885,
2l2 in population.
f East San Diego is to become
part of San Diego, the suburban
city will add 1855 citizens to the
population according to the figures.
Two pages of facts about San
Diego prepared by the San Diego
California club are printed. Includ-
ed i'll this account is description
of harbor, land, business conditions,
municipal reports and matters Of i'm
mediate interest. According to the
account, the total assessed valua-
tion of privately owned property
within the San Diego city limits is
{ considerably more than 100000, 900.
The book will be distributed as
soon as possible, according to the
San Diego Directory Company. As
the publication is of no small
weight, it probably will take some
time to make all the deliveries

just before darkness they will fill
their ship to capacity in the hope
of outwitting the fog that cost them
world s record last June.
Smith and Richter's ship will
have a fuel capacity of 2 25 gallons
They will burn on an average while
in flight 1S gallons an hour.
Improve System
Slight improvements have been
made in the refueling system. A
hose, one and onefourth inches in
diameter and approximately 40 feet
long, will enable the airmen to take
aboard 80 to 100 gallons of gas
IN less than three minutes after
making contact with the refuelling
ship. Smith and Richter will have
to do all the jockeying, however,
and on their skilled airmanship
and rapidity of their work will de-
pend the success or failure of their
second attempt to set new world s
records. ....-.- .-..
Extraordinary skill has been at
tanned by the Rockwell field fliers
in midair refuelling. Experience has
proved, however that no filters,
whether "Iron Men, or otherwise,
can remain on the wing longer than
40 or 45 hours in DeHaviland
while flying under such circum-
stances as Smith and Richter will
endure. With ship like the mono
plane To where spacious cabin
affords ample room for the relief
pilot to rest the limit of flier s
endurance, it is believed would run
from go to 90 hours or for a flight
ranging from 5000 to 5000 miles.

ARMY AIR PILOTS WILL TRY
TO SMASH WORLD RECORDS
SMITH, RICHTER
PLAN 40 HOUR
FLIGHT AT s. D.
BY HOWARD e. NORM

Seeking to smash the worlds
endurance and distance records and
creating new world speed records
for 5000 10 = 1900 kilometers, Capt
Lowell H. Smith and Lieut.. John
b. Richter, Rockwell field military
! airmen, will go aloft at daybreall
next Monday.
The two daring aviators will re-
peat their former exploit of taking
on fuel, water, food and oil in mid
air. After they have accomplished
this feat they will attempt, later in
the fall, sensational nonstop
flight from the Mexican to the Ca
madam borders, refueling their De
Haviland airplane at Sacramento
and Eugene, Ore.
Plans Outlined
Plans for holding the world s re-
cord duration, distance and speed
flights were outlined following a
conference in the office of Mai.
Henry II. Arnold at Rockwell field
yesterday morning.
70 expedite the .refuelling opera
tions and lessen the strain on the
pilots of the combination aerial
restaurant and fueling station -
the De Haviland airplanes will be
utilized to supply Smith and Rich
ter with water, food and fuel.
Capt. Robert G. Erwin and Lieut..
Q. X. Mcneil will pilot one of the
fueling planes and Lieuts. Virgil
Hines and Frank Seifert the other.
Smith and Richter, profiting bv
the experience of their epochal
flight in June when they were
forced to the ground after being
aloft more than % hours, are plan
ming not to be baked by the fog
this time. In event that heavy
fog banks obscure the 5O-kilometer
triangular speedway, the airmen
will refrain from endeavoring to set
up new speed records and will flv
throttled down until the fog lifts
sufficiently for them to take aboard
gas and oil with safety. Under this
plan they hope to break the
worlds record of SO hours and 5
minutes, held by Lieuts. Macreadv
and Kelly, but will lose the world s
long distance flight record and
possibly one or more world s speed
records.
Flight Officials
Officials of the flight, appointed
by the National Aeronautique asso-
citation and the Federation Aero
nautique internationally, will be
MAJ, Henry Arnold, commander of
Rockwell field; Maj. Theodore
Macauley, commander of the 479th
pursuit squadron, and the writer,
