at noon tomorrow the first Of a series

Twyman.
The skeleton organization is also
Planned to continue through any
change Of personnel which may come
in the future through change OF
directors, or of any other members
of the so-called board of directors. d"
1t is believed there would always be
enough of them left to insure sta

tiona1 descriptions in morale and
working ability which have so hurt
the big plant in the past.
The question of a director to sue
ceed Maj. Kirby, whose assignment

been indications, however, that the

Kirby if possible.

The place of the planning unit" in
the reorganization scheme is believed
to be vital one, as well as entirely
new to the bureau. Mr.. Hall has been
head OF the committee of experts
which for months has been studying
the bureau and its methods in CO.
operation with Director Kirby He
continues at the bureau as head of
the planning unit. and will be charged

mirth and good cheer, writes a
letter Of congratulation on the
"fine talent that is making the
grand old column so attractive"
Similar letters have also ar
rived. Also one with q touch
of criticism. That criticism is
that many Of the same contrib
utors appear in the course Of q
week.
There are many new contrib
utors making their bows to the
thousands Of fans who read this
column. Their work is excel
lent, and we want them to con-
tinue. On the other hand there
are thirty or forty steady con-
trlbutors who write things
worthy Of frequent publication.
II they produce good stuff It
will be printed. Newspaper
readers never object to seeing
the same signature if the ma
terial above it is o. X.
1t is always up to new con-
tribs and artists to compete with
the more experienced writers:
to climb the same ladder of sue
cess others scaled.
It should be well known bv
this time that this column is
WIDE OPEN TO EVERYBODY
with something bright to print.
To make Heard and Seen is a
coveted honor throughout this
city. 1t is a prize that is fought
Tor daily by large numbers of
contributors. We do not play
