"There are lots Of people who inspect
apartments through curiosity, and with
no intention of engaging one" said a
real estate man recently. There is no
way in which we can distinguish the
sincere seekers from the curious. More
than year ago, a plainly dressed
couple asked to be shown one OF our
most expensive suites. I actually dis
courased them from looking at 1t. but
they insisted that they we're in earnest

his roll in q friendly game the night
before.

YOU out OF my house. and I don't mean
perhaps. I've never wagered in my
life and I don't intend TO let YOU do
It."

once the greatest gambler in the world.

The father almost burst with rage.
"You never heard me say any such
thing" he fairly shouted.
We'll pop" continued the son,
didn't you tell me that you moTtgaged
your house and borrowed $4,000 on
notes which you were not sure you
could ever repay when you set your
self up in business? Didn't you say
that?"
Yes. / said that" returned the
father. but what's that got 70 do

If that's not gambling in a large
way, I don't know what is" said the
boy. The only difference is YOU
gambled for a big stake and had an
excellent chance of losing. Call 1t

that mine may be foolish way to lose

DISPOSED
Of LAST

The number of appeals
awaiting action before the
Personnel Classification Board
has been reduced from 1890 to
1900 since the new system of
handling the cases went into
effect, the board announced to-
day.
Thus in a little more than a month
the board has disposed of a fourth of
the appeals which were clogging its
docket.
Last week 191 appeals were dis
posed of while only % new ones were
coming in At this rate. members
of the board hope to have the ap.
peals cases up to date by the end of
this year
Since the new system went into
effect, whereby appeals are heard by
examiners instead of by the board
itself, the appeals have been acted
on about three times as fast as they
were coming in.
Whereas under the. old system an
employee appealing his classification
had a probable wait of from six
months to a year before his appeal
would be acted upon the probable
wait now would be less than three
months.
Four regular examiners are now
holding hearings on the appeals
They are aided by several part time
examiners borrowed from the vari-
ous1departments.
