Pupils Bet Detention of an Hour
After School on Eli to Beat Harvard

With one peanut-pusher still paying
his bet on Al Smith, another out-of-
ordinary wager has just been
squared up as the result of the Yale
Harvard foot ball game. Out at ST.
Adams School for Boys there is lower
schoolmaster who is a Harvard grad
uate. In his class are two juvenile
false prophets who told him in no I'M
certain language that Yale would win.
One thing led to another until finally
the betting point was reached, but
neither small boy, strange as this may
sound, had any cash. One, however,
had an apparently happy thought.
"I'll bet you an hours detention after
school," he offered, risking the only
commodity of which he was possessed,
namely, time. The master was first
class sport and the bet was on. If
Yale won, the teacher was to stay an
hour under whatever master was hold
ing detention. The second boy an
nounced that he, too, would like an
hours worth of the same bet, and was
promptly accommodated.
AS the foot ball world knows, the
Crimson was victorious and the sport
ing master the winner. Here the
thought arises as to why this special
detention could not be paid up until

COURT CLERKS FACE
PAY RAISE DELAY
Only Part of Increase May Be Paid
This Fiscal Year. McCarl
Rules.

Only portion of the recommended
increase in salary for six secretaries
for the justices of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia may be
paid for the current fiscal year be-
cause of a restrictive clause in the law,
it was decided today by Controller
General McCarl.
Chief Justice Walter l. Mccoy rec
commended that salaries of the secre-
tarieS be increased to $4,000 a year
under the WEIGH act. AS these en-
ployes are considered in the field serv-
ice of the Department of Justice, Nc
Carl ruled, in decision to the dis
bursting clerk of the department, that
the increase in salary could begin No
vember /, but not July l. as recon-
mended. The clerks therefore lost by
the decision an increase for four
months.
McCarl, explained that the promo
ton under the WEIGH act would incur
a deficiency and that the law allows
no more of a deficiency for the year
than would allow the increase to be
paid beginning November /. They re-
ceived the salary of $4,000 year from
July / to October 81, but will be paid
for the rest, of the fiscal year at the
rate of $4,000 year.

DECLINES TO HEAR
/. SUBURBAN APPEAL
Supreme Court Without JuriS-
diCti0n in Controversy Over
Sanitary Assessment.

The Supreme Court today declined
to take jurisdiction in the case of
Renee Noel VS.. the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission, involving
the constitutionality of the Maryland
statute, which ratified and confirmed
certain additional assessments levied
by the commissioner of the sanitary
district against properties, without CIV
ing notice of hearing to the owners.
In a previous case, where such addi-
tional assessments were made. the
assessments were declared invalid by the
courts of Maryland, and the appellant
in this case raised the question, whether
this act of the State amounted to a
reversal of the decree previously rem
dered and hence to usurpation OF the
judicial power.
The appellant also maintained that
the statements of fact made in the
statute as to the amount of benefit
conferred upon the property owners
and as to the classification of the prop
erty for assessment were arbitrary and
unreasonable and should be set aside by
the courts.

MORE MEN NEEDED
TO FILL DRY Jobs
Sufficient Numbers Eligible,
but Geographical Distri-
button Is Problem.

The Civil Service Commission is
faced with difficult task in distributing
the eligibles who have succeeded in
passing the rigid examinations imposed
on all candidates for the enlarged pro-
hibition enforcement service.
Although considerably more than
enough persons to fill the vacancies
have become eligible by passage of the
entrance examinations and other re-
quirements, those who have passed are
so distributed geographically that the
commission will have to have con-
siderably enlarged force of eligibles to
fill the nearly $500 vacancies.
So rigid are the examinations and
the character tests and Investigations
of suitability for the job of prohibition
more than one-seventh of the original
applicants have been able to make the
grade" Appeals from rating of the ex-
aminationS now are pending in many
cases, while a number of other eligibleS
have withdrawn their applications.
The truth of the matter, commission
officials admit, is that the examinations
and the various restrictions that hedge
about all applicants for posts in the re-
organized prohibition service are so
rigid that relatively few can meet the
requirements. The applicants not only
have to pass written examination, but
they must also pass an oral test and
then undergo a character inquiry.
which is more searching than either of
the previous tests.
If the black blot of conviction Of law
violation is found on the record Of an
applicant there is little chance he will
be included in the eligibles. This in
vestigation goes further than a mere
test of character and becomes an in
quiry to determine general fitness.
The results of the character inquiry
have been encouraging to the commits
sion and indicate. in the view of Off
Gals, that enlargement of the scheme
might well be made to take in other
law enforcement agencies.

At WGY HEARING
Radio Commission Lawyer
Asks Court to Refuse
ReaIIocation Appeal.

Argument of counsel for the Federal
Radio Commission and the General
Electric Co. and the people of New
York State on the stay recently granted
on the decision of the Federal Radio
Commission in the reallocation Of the
wave channel of the electric conpany's
broadcaSting station, WGY, Schnec-
tady, N. Y, and the appeal OF the
General Electric Co. from the decision
of the commission is being heard in
the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals.
The counsel for the Radio Commits
sion, Louis G. Caldwell, asked the court
to take the stay and refuse the ap-
peal, upholding the right of the Radio
Commission in its action of the reallo-
cation effective November II.
Attack Draws Rebuke.
Mr.. Caldwell made an attack upon
Frank J. Hogan, one of counsel for the
General Electric Co.. and drew a sharp
rebuke from the court.
Bedhuel M Webster of counsel for
the Radio Commission, charged that in
continuing the stay granted station
WGY from its Wave-length ALLEGATION
the law against ODSLIuCbIOil VI lIlISI-
state commerce was bring violated.
Mr. Hogan explained to the court
that the appeal of the Western Electric
Co. is for a renewal of the existing
i station license, which had been in eff
feet since 1923. He pointed out that
the application for the renewal cited
all the conditions under which the Ii
cenSe had been used, and that it
was not an obligation for modifica-
ton or an application for new license,
and he declared that in its realloca-
ton of the wave length of station
WGY, the Radio Commission failed to
follow the form Of the application.
Station Called Pioneer.
He characterized station WGY as a
great pioneer in the development of
radio operation, it being the tenth old
est radio broadcasting station in the
country. He said the station represents
S1,500,000 capital invested and the sta
ton serves 100000 persons within a
100-mile radius of Schenectady.
Charles Evans Hughes, chief counsel
OF the General Electric Co, upheld the
appeal. of WGY and the stay order on
the ground that the Wave-channel on
which the station had been operated is
its principal reason for being, and cited
the opinion Of the Federal Radio Com
mission that WGY is Of such nature
that it can operate successfully only
with a clear channel.

Miss Fiatrault came to Spokane for visit Is
years ago and remained here inducing her sister To
follow several years later She was born in little
French settlement at GENTLY Minnesota. Though
she was born Sunday and taken that same day
to the little village church to be baptized there is
no record of her birth or baptism to he found. She
claims to be of the few women in the world
who does not know the day or month or year of her
