An extremely liberal sales policy,
in order to get the remainder OF the

THE board has under negotiation

ing that ships which cannot be sold
and are not needed for the American
merchant marine should be prompt
Nv scrapped, consistent with the inter
ests of the Government"
We are prepared to forget the cost
of ships" he said, IF We can sell

DISCUSSES PRAYER
AT LENTEN SERVICE
Rev. S. J. Porter Principal Speaker
at Midday Observance at
Keith's Today.

Prayer in it's different forms and
the significance Of prayer were dis
cussed in an address by Rev. S. J.
Porter, pastor of the First Baptist
Church. at midday Lenten services
at Keith's Theater today.
DR.. Porter took as his text Lord
teach us to pray" Jesus" he said,
was the great teacher and is now
the great nearer of prayer" Con-
tinuing, the speaker pointed out that
there were certain fundamental
principles involved in all prayer.
Among these, he said, is the con-
ception of human needs, without
which a genuine prayer could not be
reco gnized. There must also be
conviction Of divine sufficiency, he
said, explaining that one in praying
should believe that God is sufficient
able and willing to help. and finally
there must be the feeling of a con-
scious obligation to God, he added.
In conclusion, DIR. Porter said that
prayer requires persistence and dill
gence on the part of the Individual.
Prayer services were conducted by
Rev. H. E. Dickins, and Percy Foster
was the presiding layman. vocal
solo was rendered by Fred East, ac-
companied by George H. Wilson. Rev
DR. Peter Ainslie of Baltimore will
be the speaker tomorrow. The serv-
ices are being broadcast each day by

COOLIDGE CLOSES
e LAND OFFICES
Holds That Work Can Be
Handled More Economically
in Washington.

President Coolidge has signed an
executive order abolishing % land
offices scattered throughout the
country. This order becomes effec-
tive April so. and brings to 80 the
number of such offices discontinued
in the last two months.
Decline in public land business was
given as the reason for discontin-
uance. the public area in many of the
districts having decreased so greatly
that the offices are not able to meet
operating expenses.
Secretary Work expressed the con-
Viction that the action will be in
the interest of economy and good ad-
ministration and in no way subver-
sive of the public interest in the
States affected"
The offices to be closed are at FL
Centric, Independence and Susanville
calif.; Del Norte. Colo. HALEY,
Idaho; Toqeka, Kans.: Marquette
Miss; Glasgow, Havre Helena
Missoula, Bozeman, Lewistown and
Miles City, Mont: Fort Sumner and
Roswell, N. NJ; La Grande and Burns
Greg; Rapid City, S. D.; Vancouver
Walla Walla, Waterville and Yakima
Wash; Wausau, Wis; Newcastle and
Douglas, Wyo.
In Montana, where seven offices are
eliminated, only two, those at Great
Falls and Billings, will be retained
to handle the States public land
business. The functions of the of
fees eliminated in Kansas, Michigan
Mississippi and Wisconsin will be
handled in the future through the
General Land Office. in Washington
and in the other States the business
of the abolished offices will be turn
ed over to other branches in the
same States.

FOR TRAFFIC POST
Commissioners Considering
is Applications Today-Se-
lection Within Week Seen.

The District Commissioners are in
session this afternoon. making a care
full study of the records of the 10
men whose names have been placed
before them as candidates for director
of traffic.
Commissioner Rudolph, chairman of
the board. said this morning he did
not believe the appointment would be
made at today's conference, however,
for the reason that several applicants
have requested personal interviews
with the city heads.
The selection probably will be an
nounced within a week. since the new
traffic law cannot be given full force
and effect until a director is in office.
List of Applicants
The full list of names now before
the Commissioners follows: q. II.
Aschenbach, John S. Blick. business
man; A Gary Carter. automobile man;
NJ Q. Eldridge, official of the Amer
team Automobile Association in Wash
ington; Leo T. Farrell, Capt. Frank
:. Flynn. formerly of the United
States Army; John n. King, Capt. L.
g. Klotz, traffic engineer of the
Utilities Commission; J. II. NElls.
=
Stanton, a former deputy police COM
missioner OF New York; Inspector
William S. Shelby. of the Police De-
partment: z. II. Skinner, Motor Cycle
Policeman Milton D. Smith and Sergt
Buell. Stanley of the traffic squad OF
the Police Department.
The Commissioners would not in
dictate today what they thought of the
relative merits of the several candi-
dates. If a selection is not made to-
day, It is practically certain that the
choice will be narrowed down to three
or four as a result of the conference.
May Be Dark Horse.
It is possible that some man whose
name has not yet been mentioned
may eventually be appointed. While
the Commissioners are known to pre-
fer a director who is already ia
.miIiar with conditions in Washington,
consideration may be given TO men
ioutside the city who have had expert
ence in traffic control.
Mr.. Eldrige did not make personal
application, but his name was put
forward by men active in civic al
fairs as a person qualified to fill the
position.
E Col Stanton, who has just recently
been suggested, was also put forward
for superintendent Of police several
years ago when that office was
vacant.

Thousands of big hats have been
tried on here in the last week, but
far fewer have been bought, for the
cape line is a trying type for many
women. One beautiful design just
arrived from Paris was large wide
brimmed hair braid of empire green,

is composed of three bands of pearls

A Federal surplus of 100000, 900
this fiscal year and a probable sur
plus of S373000,000 next year, with
the possibility of a cut in taxes, were
prospects held forth by Director of
the Bureau of the Budget Lord in an
address before the members of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce
at the New Willard Hotel last night.
Gen. Lord. in a resume of the work
accomplished by the bureau since It's
existence said it had reduced Fed
eral expenditures $1,203,771, 292.92, or
an amount almost equal to the ma
tional debt before the war.
In summarizing the benefits the
bureau had brought about in Gov
eminent financing, Gen. Lord de-
clared that any other business would
finances had been handled in the
same manner as those of the Federal
Government prior to the establish
ment of the Budget Bureau.
In citing the efforts of the bureau
to cut Federal estimates within the
SO, 900, 100000 limit set by both Presi-
dent Coolidge and President Harding,
Gen. Lord said this would have been
accomplished this year if it were not
for the S120, 100000 expenditure due
to the bonus, which he said he cheer
fully bowed to. One of the in
teresting features that Gen. Lord
pointed out was that of the budget of
$3,062, 277.407 for this year only about
1850, 000,0 900 was subject to reduction
by the President or the bureau, and
that practically all of the reductions
had to be made on this amount. He
also pointed out that the bureau had
allowed estimates for the District of
Columbia in an amount more than
twice those of prewar allowances.
Urges support of Economy.
Gen. Lord said that expenditures in
1921, the last pre-budget year, were
S5,115, 5000. The first year of the
budget expenditures were s3,372,607,
969S4, and this year expenditures
were $3,O62, 277. 407, including 1920
600, 900 for the bonus. He said that
he got much organized opposition to
some of the cuts he made, and de-
cIared that If some of the people
don't want to march with the Presi-
dent on the highway of economy they
should enlist under another flag"
Gen. Lord declared that the Federal
Government was setting a laudable
example of thrift and economy that
could be followed by others.
