EFFIC|E: NCY
PRESENT
AIM
viii Continue Its Rating
Under New Reclassifica-
ton Measure.

Methods Of handling the Dis
trict of Columbia sinking fund
are now being investigated by the
Bureau Of Efficiency.
Problems Of bookkeeping adj
ministration before the staff car
ing for the sinking fund are being
given expert study, and in the
near future other offices in the
District building will be looked
into by the bureau.
Has Saved Millions.
The passage Of the reclassifica-
ton act has emphasized the
strategic point now occupied BY
the Bureau Of Efficiency. Ever
since its inception six years ago
st has saved the Treasury several
millions of dollars annually by re-
organizing methods and processes
OF administration tn the various
departments. Since the passage Of
the budget law IL has done yeOTnan
service in adjusting differences be-
tween the budget chiefs and the
departmental officials.
s.1G
the Bureau OF Efficiency is charged
with the duty Of continuing its
efficiency ratings begun under the
Executive order OF PRESIDENT Hard
ing In 1921, as well az an i'm.
pOrtant part in the work OF allo-
cation now being done by the Per-
sonnet Classification Board. The
bureau is represented upon this
board by Harold N. Graves, who
y the alternate for the chief OF the
bureau. Herbert D. Brown.
Ratings VIII Stand.
That the Bureau OF Efficiency rat
ings already put into effect in sew
eral departments are nor in conflict
with the reclasSification act recently
passed by Congress. and will be &C.
Cepted virtually In toto by the per-
sonnet classification board is. indi-
Gated In various quarters. There is
no strong opposition to these rat
tngs from any source. except from
persons who had expected the
Sterling Lehlbach law to make the
salary range in a given grade so
narrow and inelastic as virtually to
wipe out all differences between the
efficient and the inefficient employee.
As the law was enacted the salary
ranges are wide enough to permit OF
the most adequate recognition of
merit in given grade Of work.
Some of the experienced and eff
Gent workers in a grade will be
given more pay than the minimum
rates in the next grade above.
Bureau Won Recognition.
The long-standing conflict in
Congress between the wood-Smoot
and the Sterling Lehlbach forces
was largely concerned in this issue.
That the differences between the
two finally were adjusted, and the
compromise measure passed, was
due mainly to the fact that the
basic contention Of the Bureau of
Efficiency with regard to reclassi-
fication was recognized. This was
written into the Sterling Lehlbach
law. although the original frame.
work was retained.

MONUMENT
70 STAY
OPEN
Windows Will Not Be Barred
Unless seip Tragedy Is
Followed BY Others.

Sightseers to the Washington
Monument, and they number hum

probation BY Col. G. G. Sheriff.,
Superintendent Of Public Build
|ings and Grounds.
Warns Of Action.
While he announces that he win
not place iron bars ct the windows
In the observation tower Of the
Monument as q result of the Seip
tragedy on Friday last, he warns
that q recurrence will be the signal
for drastic action.
This action Will be the placing Of
remodeled glass storm windows at
the Monuments top. despite the
fact that they would obstruct the
views They could be put in on q
half hours notice.
In short, while no action will be
taken at this time to mar the
beauty OF the view from the top Of
the washington Monument, or to
make the national memorial I'M
slightly, should ano. her Of the Wis
itors there decide to make 1t their
rendezvous with death" II will re-
suit in thousands Of visitors to the
Monument each year being made TO
suffer on account Of the foolhardi-
ness Of one.
Would Obstruct View.
It was announced today that the
monument has always had certain
wooden frames which served to
keep out the snow and rain. With
in q few days these frames will be
rernodeled. The marble slabs will
be taken out and one-inch plate
glass put in them.
While it Is now the purpose to
use these remodeled frames only in
incIement weather to protect the
visitors, should the monument be-
come too popular as q suicide
tryst," they will be placed perma-
nently in the windows.
This would mean that in the sum-
mer months the sightseers would
not only have their view impaired
but they would suffer from the in.
tense heat which the presence of
the windows would undoubtedly
cause.
Both Colonel Sheriff. and Marsh
earnestly hope that no one viii fol-

be many years before another per-
son takes a notion to fling himself
500 feet to death.

Although it sounds paradoxlcai, a

From the character Of the injury
sustained one would think that Bar

bear out the assertion. He batted .314

Cured in the woodland in the vicinity
of the players home at Milan, Tenn,

to get within aiming distance Of a

huntsman, taking him for deer fred

bleeding profusely from four ugly
wounds.
one piece Of shot lodged in the fore
head, between the eyes, narrowly miss

caused total blindness. The other
three lodged IN the left side of the

the boy had heard was the one that
had killed Slyke, and that the time
must have teen between half-past one
and two o'clock. If that were so,
then, when the girl came in about
three o'clock, Slyke was already dead.
BARLEY was sure that it took at least
thirty minutes to undress Slyke and
get him down from the balcony to
his room. If the shot that the boy
heard was fired before two o'clock,
then the girl would not be suspected,
FOR she had not returned until three.
We eliminated her.
