by the Coolidge officials and bloated
bankers to educate" the laboring
population.
MIIItarIsts Out in Force.
In Chicago the odor of the carna-
lions which are protusely to be spread
about will not be strong enough to
hide the stencil Of the utterances of
the majors and colonels sent to preach
war to the public school children dur
ing the next few days by Lieutenant
P. J. Rumble, of the Cook county grand
army Of the republic.
The workers will celebrate their
own victories in their own way. On

employees WARNED
OF OUTSIDE WORK
McCarPs Forces Advised That
Labor Elsewhere After Hours
May Impair Efficiency.

Through a veil of official secrecy
1t was asceStained today that the Con-
troller General yesterday promulgated
a bulletin advising employees of the
general accounting office against ac-
ceptfng outside work after office hours.
The bulletin, designated as Gen
eral Accounting Office Bulletin No. IT,
Is reported to point out that outside
employment is apt to impair the
health and efficiency of the employees
OF the Controller Generals office.
Considerable dissatisfaction is said
to have been expressed regarding the
bulletin at informal gatherings of the
employees yesterday and today, al
though no definite protest has been
lodged it is said.
A reporter, who visited the con-
troller generals office in quest of the
bulletin this afternoon, was told that
Mr.. Carl was out and was referred
to the chief clerks room. Chief
Clerk Dowd did not deny that such
bulletin had been issued, but ex-
planned in positive fashion that 1t
was mot for publication"
He said that the bulletin was circu-
lated only among the employees of the
general accounting office and effected
no other Government departments or
branches. 1t was, therefore, conf
dential," he added.
He explained that the decision
against publicity was reached by "a
high authority"

INSPECTIONS TARDY.
BUILDERS COMPLAIN
Operations Delayed and Made Un-
duly Costly, They Will Tell Dis
trict Officials.

Thirty-six of the leading residential
builders of Washington. comprising
the membership of the Operative
Builders Association, will call on En-
gineer Commissioner Bell Wedneday
morning in a body to discuss with him
the many difficulties they are ex-
periencing with District departments
and proposed relief"
Most of these difficulties, it is point
ed out, are due to lack of appropria-
ton by Congress and are not only
hampering construction work in the
District, but involving the builders in
considerable unnecessary expense. 1t
is claimed by the members of the as
sociation that in order to get water
mains and sewers installed in many
instances they are compelled to pay
either in building or services more
than the law requires.
Because of the lack of sufficient
funds appropriated by Congress, the
builders state that in a number of
specific cases instead of the District
government paying for the installa-
ton Of water mains and sewers, the
builders have been compelled to pay
sometimes half this cost and some
times the entire amount.
Long delay in the issuance Of per-
mits, the inspection of jobs and in
formation from the District Building
in regard to grading and other data
Is also termed very serious set
back. by members Of the association.

JUNIOR HIGHS TO GET
OWN CADET CORPS
School Officials Decide on Forma.
ton of Separate Organization
in September.

School authorities decided today to
create a separate cadet organization
for junior high school boys when the
schools open for the new term in
September. The junior high school
cadets are now a part of the senior
High School Cadet Corps, but are
officered by senior high school stu
dents.
Although the numerous details for
organizing a separate cadet corps for
the junior high school boys have not
been worked out, the officials have
agreed that emphasis will be placed
on physical training. The military
program will feature foot movements
and formations. Guns will not be
used as in the senior high school
cadet companies.
Under the new plan the Junior high
school cadets will not compete with
the senor high school cadets in the
various military competitions, but
will have drills Of their own.

CURB ON SHIPPING
BOARD IS DOUBTED
Coolidge Believed Moving for
Efficiency in Proposed
Sales Plan.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Coolidge's suggestion
that the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton instead of the Shipping Board
conduct preliminary negotiations for
the sale of ships is a move in the d.
rection Of efficiency rather than
curtailment Of the powers of the
board itself.
This is the view being placed on the
Presidents letter today, in contradic-
ton more or less Of earlier reports
that Mr.. Coolidge was endeavoring to
cure the discord in the board by CIV
ing the Emergency Fleet Corporation
some of the boards functions
The indications today are that the
Presidents recommendation will be
accepted without dissent Members of
the board say the Emergency Fleet
Corporation has always negotiated the
sale of single ships and that the
proposal Of the President will result
In less confusion because all nego-
uations will be centralized. 1t is
pointed out that the President ex-
pressly says the negotiations shall
not be final until approved by the
board itself and that the fleet cor
poration's recommendations are not
necessarily binding.
The Presidents letter is the cuI-
mination of all sorts of rumors and
the Shipping Board are approached
with respect to negotiations and that
the result Is frequently a debate on
political and personal influence as
applied to prospective sales.
Under the new arrangement, Ad-
mfral Palmer, head Of the Fleet Cor
poration, who is neither q political
appointee nor partisan Of any par
ticular policy, will have his subordi.
mates conduct negotiations with any
prospective purchaser and after a
thorough investigation will make con-
crete recommendations to the Ship
ping Board, submitting all facts
There will then be no oral or col
lateral understandings and everything
about the transaction will be placed
before the board for it's decision.
Asked about the frequent necessity
Of executive interference in the affairs
OF the Shipping Board, members say 1t
Is not unusual, as the Shipping Board
has many complex problems, and Mr..
Coolidge is simply trying to suggest
efficiency methods wherever possible
just as he would in other departments
Of the Government.
Some Are Irked.
There lis no question. however. that
here and there inside the board there
has been resentment because Mr..
Coolidge has intervened, but his de-
tenders insist some influence had to
be brought to bear in order to carry
out the policy Of getting the ships into
private hands through the best offers
available.
When Congress meets, of course,
legislation will again be asked to
make the separation between the Ship
ping Board and the Emergency Fleet
Corporation complete. The present
divorce is more or less informal and
Is due to the Presidents request
rather than any fiat Of law. If the
two establishments are separated, the
Fleet Corporation will have entire
charge Of operations and the Shipping
Board will take care Of such sales as
must be made and such regulations
governing shipping as a whole as the
Interstate Commerce Commission now
makes with reference to transporta-
tion on land

CROSSWORD Puzzle
II. Latin Is Found
On AnCier,t Arms
Weapons Discovered in
arizona Date Back to
700 a. d.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, June 12.--Ar,zona has
givea American scholars the years
best crossword puzzle in Latin,
dating back ostensibly to the eighth
century, and inscribed on mysterious
lead swords, spearheads and crosses.
The puzzle has been referred by the
University of Arizona to Prof. G. H.
Beeson of the University Of Chicago,
who is versed equally in secret codes
and in the broken lore of Rome and
Carthage.
The oldest inscription bears the
date of 100, laboriously marked on the
lead surface of the cross in Latin.
The next oldest dates back to 900. One
cross, upon which has been inscribed
incoherent phrases of a religious ma
ture begins with two Latin words, lab
ovo," which Prof. Beeson explained
means "out of the egg" and has no
logical bearing on the rest Of the
translation.
A typical inscription reads, in trans
lation: with the help Of the Lord,
Jacob reigns with strong hand, ac-
cording to the custom of his ancestors.
Say unto the Lord may His fame live
forever"
The crosses, swords and spearheads
were buried not less than a century
ago, Prof. Beeson said, and the writ
ings reveal nothing of the identity of
the author.
They may have been written by
some Spanish priest who wanted to
write his own epitaphs, or the tnstru-
ments may have been lost by wander
ing Spanish adventures who picked
them up in Europe.
