Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1925-11-14

WHEN fellows happy as a spring
robin, he's just got to show it. Face
lighted up like "a sample house. Look
at those jimmy-pipers all around you.
You can't tell whether they've just got
a raise, or whether they've been men,
toned in rich uncle's will.
But here's the secret: They've discov-
cred Prince Albert! Just you tuck neat
wad of P. A. into the muzzle of that
little old jimmy-pipe and make fire with
a match. Man, alive. Here's tobacco
as IS tobacco. Mellow. Mild. A win
in every draw.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1925-11-14

No other tobacco is like Prince Albert.
Cool and sweet and fragrant. Not nip
or a scorch in barrel of it. The Prince
Albert process cuts out bite and parch,
and develops a tobacco flavor that has
solace and satisfaction written all over it.
Quality tobacco and no mistake.
Quantity too! There are TWO full
ounces in every tidy red tin. Qook at
the revenue stamp.) Get together now
YOU and your jimmy-pipe and Prince
Albert. Step around the corner and tell
the man you want tidy red tin of P. A.
Then you're set for real smoke-sport.

CIVIL SERVICE
BOARD CUTS
EXPENSES
Economies Will Be Practiced
in Printing-To Simplify
Application Blanks

The Coolidge economy wave to-
day struck the Civil Service Com.
mission with a resounding thwack.
While the commission has long
prided itself on its efficiency and
lack Of waste, the order went out
today for even more rigid saving.
This will be effected through
two committees now just beginning
to function. A committee on print
ing today completed its organization
and spelled the doom of many Of
the complicated printed forms now
in use.
The printing committee expects
TO effect economics in the cost of
printing and mimeographing, to
simplify and cut out all unneces-
sary forms and TO curtail distribI-
ton. All application forms now
in use are to be simplified.
This committee is composed OF
Kenneth c. Fipond, budget officer
Of the commission. chairman: Ray
l.. Woodward, assistant purchasing
officer; Eward L. Bennett of the
application division; Ruloff STRAIT.
tan. of the appointment division
and Mabel l.. Taylor. of the exam
lining division.
Another committee which is ex.
pected to effect marked economies
Is committee on business meth
DDS, composed of the chiefs of divi.
sions, executive officers and a rem
resentative of each division elected
- the employees. This committee
will consider improvements in pro.
cedure. Suggestion boxes have
been established on each floor of
the building and all employees asked
to submit economy ideas.
The commission already has done
away with the use of all blank
memorandum pads and is using
the backs of obsolete forms for
this purpose. Envelopes used to
transmit papers from division to
division in the commission are used
ever and over again.

HANDSHAKE:
IS LlJR|N(3
TOURISTS
Tours Are Being Arranged
on Guarantee of Visit
With President

A new tourist industry with the
White House as it's objective has
sprung up almost overnight.
The greeting and handshaking
which President Coolidge freely
gives to the hosts of school boys
and girls, honeymooners, and holt
day-makers who come to the city
is the talisman which is promoting
the business by leaps and bounds.
Capitalize HandshaIxe.
Come to Washington and shake
hands with the President" is the
slogan which is being used by
scores Of traffic managers and trip
promoters in the colleges and high
schools Of various sections of the
country.
The business Of arranging the
reception at the White House is a

in which he Is operating and en-
lists his aid in having his con-
HlAluCIlNS SICCIC0 ny lILG 1IGStQGIl.
The Senator rarely interposes any
objections to these requests, and so
far the White House has willingly
granted them, no matter how large
the delegation for which a recep.
ton is requested.
The Easter holidays have revealed
the fact that the tour promoter Is
virtually giving iron-clad guarantees
Tn hfo tsnII1fnY1n that fhaNy will
be received at the White House
and will have various other per-
quisites which heretofore have not
been the lot of the average visitor
to Washington.
ID. C. To Be Tourist Mecca.
1t is predicted that the White
House magnet will be employed to
create an abnormally large tourist
traffic to Washington during the
spring and summer months. Record
breaking crowds during the June
commencement period in the col.
leges are looked for.
President Coolidge is one Of the
few Presidents in recent times who
has been willing to receive delega-
tions OF his fellow citizens on the
scale which has been seen at the
White House in the past few days.
So far he shows no indication of
changing his policy, or Of curtail-
ing the number which he will greet
day by day. He shakes hands with
all Of the hundreds who come to
the White House properly vouched
for, and gives each one of them a
personal greeting. It is said that
the strain on his vocal chords from
this continuous round of salutations
is much more serious than the
strain upon his arm and hand
muscles, which as yet have shown
no indication Of charley horse"
Not only are tours being sys.
tematically arranged on the line Of
a Presidential hand shake. but
weekend excursions to Washington
are being promoted on the basis
OF watching the President and Mrs.
Coolidge at their churchgoing on
Sunday. Sightseeing buses are
parked near the church entrance
and when conditions permit the Wis
itors attend the services.

Lively Debate Marks Hearing
Before District Commission.
Some for Structures

A request that the District Zon
ing Commission adopt regulation:
prohibiting apartment houses OF
fashionable Massachusetts, avenue
northwest. precipitated lively
debate at a hearing before the
commission in the District Build
ing today.
Officials Of the National Cattle
dral represented by the Reverend
G. C. F. Bratenahl, and wealthy
residents Of the avenue urged the
commission to preserve the
beauty of the avenue" and protect
it from invasion by apartments
Others Favor Apartments
There was. however, a number OF
residents OF the avenue who urged
the commission not to change the
coming, but to allow apartments to
be erected.
Admiral Joseph Strauss, of 1908
Massachusetts, avenue. spoke for
the Dupont Circle Citizens Associa-
ton.
1t was this organization which
requested the commission to forbid
apartment houses on both sides
from Sheridan Circle to Water Side
Drive.
The property on the north side
of the avenue between the circle
and the drive is now zoned to for
bid apartments.
Major Clayton E. Emig Joined
Admiral Strauss in his arguments.
They declared that the associa-
ton had no personal interest, That
the were acting purely on the
ground of cietnivCcvy icsuhrdlm
ground of civic interest.
Benjamin Minor, representing
Henry B. Spencer, urged that nc
change be made. He said that
boarding houses are being located
on the avenue, and asserted that
good looking apartment houses were
much preferable to boarding houses
Other. Cases Heard.
w. B. Wood declared that apart
ments must be built to take care Of
the increase in population anc
urged no change. Rufus Lusk. rep
resenting the Operative Builders
Association, declared that the
avenue was so close to downtown
that apartments were the only prac
teal buildings to have on it.
Under present conditions apart
ments can be erected on the avenue
Several years ago there was 6
lively fight when the first apart
ment house was erected on 1t.
Nine other coming cases were con
sidered by the commission.
