Miss Newman also displayed
gown of shimmering opalescent Sc
quins over a foundation of ivory
white satin. The bodice, which was
long and slightly bloused, was cut
with a deep "N'' neck, so that the
upper edge of the satin slip was re-
vealed, and with narrow shoulder
straps. The skirt was long, and con-
sisted of two panels, unseamed at the
sides, so that the satin foundation
was again glimpsed. A tightly rolled
piece of white satin formed an effec-
tive girdle at the hip line, and loops
of pearl beads were suspended from
II like a draped garland to add to its
beauty. Large white flowers at each
side served to fasten the pearl ends
in place. while loops of satin cords
dropped from them to the skirt hem,
adding the final touch of trimming.

ALLEGATION OF Field Service Ern-
pIoyes to Be in Hands OF
Congress at Opening.

September is going to be busy
month for the Personnel Classified
ton Board.
Having just completed its re-
view Of the work Of the depart
mental relating to the tentative
ALLEGATIONS Of Federal employees,
the board now faces an even more.
strenuous period.
To be Ready for Congress.
The field service classification,
upon which preliminary work has
been done, must be ready for the
consideration Of Congress in Decem.
Der. Plans also are to be made for
the creation or class specifications.
in line with the Sterling-Lehlbach
Iginciple Of classification, for Gov
eminent workers in the District of
Columbia.
While this work is being started,
the Federation Of Federal Employees
will meet in annual convention in
Denver. Reconsideration probably
will be the paramount subject be-
fore the meeting. Officials OF the
federation have refrained from
making any comment upon the
policies of the Personnel Classifica-
ton Board. except in the protest
which it originally made against the.
procedure Of the board affecting
District employees.
The Denver convention, however,
Is expected to put itself on record
in definite terms on certain cues
far as can be asoertained, the
far as con be ascertained, the
Federation OF Federal Employees is
in harmony with the major policies
Of the Personnel Classification
Board, especially since the board
announced that 1t would take up
class specifications for the District
employees as soon as the tentative
ALLEGATIONS for estimate purposes
were made.
Lawyers Put i'm Protest.
Not until the details of the field
service classification begin to be
made public, however, will the Fed
eral employees be in a position to
know about the character of the
class specifications to be deter
mined by the board. Only one pro-
test-that Of the lawyers in the
Federal service-has come to pub.
lie notice so far. The legal workers
have forced a controversy as to-
whether they should all be included
in the professional and scientific
classes. instead OF the administers
tive and clerical classes. The
board already has pointed out that
there is no advantage to be gained,
pecuniary or otherwise, for all Fed
eral employees to be included in the
professional classification. 1t be-
lieves that many complaints over
the technical questions involved in
class specifications are based upon
a misrepresentation on the part of
the compliments.

the roping off of streets in various

James F. Oyster declared today.

sible to see that the children have

said today.
''It is my belief that a movement
for more Fairgrounds should have
the moral and financial support Of
every organization in Washington.
Let their slogan be: Help the
children, help the Fairgrounds
This city has not enough play
grounds. Thousands of kids are
forced to use the streets for play
purposes, thus endangering their
lives.
Through public subscription many
Fairgrounds attached to schools have
been opened during the summer
months.
''I don't know whether the law will
permit US to rope off streets, but I
am going to find out" Commissions
Oyster said.
IT feel that the citizens would sup

What will the next be? At least
no prophet could predict IL and get
away with It.; we would know right
away that he had invented the thing
himself.
A fool must speak nonsense wheth-

get himself In bad. But a wise bird
can speak nonsense when he pleases
and capitalize IL. For instance
Shakespeare, with all his genius,
never said anything comparable to
this modern gem. Maybe he would
have thought Of IL had he lived q
little longer.
You ask what Ii this gem? Yes,
We have no intention OF repeating
