tain is at liberty to tell his story to
the court of last appeal. Then the
statement is turned over to Maj.
Hesse for investigation. The same
holds true for firemen, although, on
account of the nature of the work and
discipline, far fewer complaints are
registered from that department.
Mr.. Dougherty is allowed little rest
in the evening. There are 70 citizens
associations in the National Capital
and one or more of them are in ses-
sion every night. Each wants one of
the Commissioners to speak, and as
far as possible the requests are COM
piled with. The police Commissioner
probably has more calls than anY of
Evening star., 1927-10-09

fers with the heads Of these branches
Maj. Hesse, Fire Chief Watson and
DR.. Fowler. They bring before him
the major problems which have arisen
during the previous day. and some of
these require considerable discussion
before satisfactory decision can be
reached.
WHEN these officials leave, Mr..
w Dougherty is ready for the
public. The majority of the visitors,
according to Daniel Garges, secretary
to the Commissioners, want jobs. The
police Commissioner. however, has
fewer of these than either of his asso'
ciates since most of the positions in
the three services under his control
are filled by civil service examinations.
Perhaps the first visitor is the
representative of some national or
ganization or movement who wishes
the Commissioners to set aside by
proclamation a week to be devoted to
some propaganda or other--such as
apple week, brush-your-teeth week,
ba-kind tocats week, buy-a-new-suit
week, plant-a-rose-bus week or help.

these movements, of course, are high.
ly meritorious. Others are designed
purely for money-making propaganda.
A good many of them are silly. The
Commissioner breads the word week"
These week" movements were born
during the war and they have proved
lusty infants. They have increased
in number out Of all proportion to
value. At first the District Commits
sioners were very obliging. They
would issue a proclamation and set
aside week for almost anything that
appeared worthy. But now the year
is far too short to accommodate even
minority of the week" seekers.
There are four or five hundred move
ments of one sort or another which
demand their seven days out of the
year devoted to their own specialized
propaganda.
The Commissioners have adopted
firm rule. They will not proclaim any
weeks" however meritorious the
cause may seem, unless the example
has been set by the President. Thus
Fire prevention week and few others
are recognized. But it is not so easy
to ignore the propagandists as 1t may
seem. Each is prepared with an argu-
ment to prove that his movement is
entitled to special consideration and
the Commissioner must spend good
many minutes trying to establish his
refusal definitely.
Other declarations Of citizens or in
dividuals come with complaints on
purely local matters. The garbage on
some street hasn't been collected reg,
ularly. A stop signal has been
knocked down. A fire box is out of
order. Mr.. Dougherty must take note
of each of these complaints and have
it referred to the head of the proper
department.

missioners frequently is engaged to
speak before some luncheon organiza-
