COURT To HEAR
ROW ON TAGS

Whether dealers automobile H.
cense tags may be used for any
other than purely demonstration
trips OF automobiles will he argued
before Judge John p. Mcmahon in
Police Court on August %.
The question was raised by Wal
ter r. Guy, attorney for Edward 8.
Burton, of the 1900 Block Of K st.
n. w. who was arrested by Pc.
iiceman J. H. DeIlinger of the
Third precinct. charged with over
time parking, to which charge was
subsequently added that of improper
use Of dealer tags.
When the case was brought be-
fore Judge Mcmahon for trial the
policeman testified that Burton used
the tags on the automobile which
he used for personal trips.
His attorney contended that while
the traffic act restricted Use Of
dealer tags 10 automobiles owned
and used by dealers for demonstrd-
tlon purposes, this could be inter.
preted as applying To any trip the
dealer authorized.
Judge Mcmahon, however, de-
clared that reasonable Interpretation
ot the law restricted the use of
dealer tags solely To automobiles
while actually being used for dem.
onstratlon purposes by statesmen or
while being tried out by prospec,
tive purchasers. Burton liz a sales
man for the Hawkins. Nash Motor
company Judge Mcmahon agreed
10 near arguments on the disputed
point on August 90.

At least that is the opinion Of
one young married woman who pro-
tests against Colonel Grants war on
petting in washington's great open
spaces"
Romance rarely flourishes in a
two-by-four hall bedroom, this young
woman ayers, and the boarding
house parlor is hardly the place to
pop the question.
So what can the lovelorn girl and
her dashing swain do? The lure OF
the outdoors beckons; all nature Is
aglow with life and the call OF
young love is irresistible.
Hence, the young married woman
declares in letter 10 The Wash
ington Times, she and her future
husband hied themselves parkward
What they said and what they did
is nobody's business. At any rate
we'll. let the young matron speak
for herself:
Il was one OF them" she writes
Il lived in crowded boarding
house with absolutely no privacy
available. While M husband was
counting me we did all our kissing
and Sugging in the parks. The
policeman walking through pro
tected us from harm, go we fell
safe
we have been very happily mar
RED for seven years now and
know we wouldn't have been mar
ried at all if he hadn't had some
place to make a little love to me.
Poor Use Parks
1T is the innocent and poor whe
use the parks for a little petti2g
The wealthy have privacy withon'
seeking the parks and the wicked
find more secluded places than int
parks.
My young man always With
drew his arm If anyone came near
[ do not believe we were a menace
either to society or good manners
and I am sure we were typical oI
thousands.

BASE To Be
FIXED BY
LIVING
COST

a new system Of Govern.
ment pay schedules may result
from the detailed study OF
living costs and commercial
pay schedules in various sec
tions Of tile country which is
being made by the Personnel
Classification Board in connec-
ton with. its classification Of
employees in the field service OF
the Government.
The board was ordered by Con-
gress in the WEIGH pay act to be-
Gin Immediately the classification
81 the field service and in so doing
10 make a study of local economic
conditions.
Work Well in Hand
The tremendous task is now well
under way under the direction Of
william III. McReynolds, assistant
chief OF the Bureau of Efficiency,
who was a member of the classifi-
cation board until he undertook
this work.
The most difficult part Of the
work is the exhaustive study Of
living conditions and outside pay
levels in the many sections OF the
country where Government EN-
ployes are stationed.
To aid him in this investigation
McReynoIds has recruited staff
Of more than score of prominent
college and university professors in
various parts Of the country.
The actual classification of the
field positions Is being handled
largely by The departments them
selves. Each department Is gath
ering data concerning the various
field jobs under its Jurisdiction and
this data will be used as the basis
for the actual classification Of the
positions BY the personnel board.
Living Costs Base
In working out his recommends
lions to Congress, McReynolds will
take into consideration the costs of
living and the salary levels in out
side employment in each section Of
the country.
Under the existing Government
system stenographer in small
town in Iowa. where living costs
are cheap and pay levels for stem
ographers employed outside the
Government are low. gets as much
az a stenographer in Washington or
New York. where conditions are
reversed.
Under the proposed system the
Government salary schedule in each
community would be guided largely
by the salary levels of that COM
munity.
The scheme may ultimately have
a direct effect on pay schedules for
Government employees here. 1t ali
depends. of course, on whether or
not Congress accepts the recommen-
dations of the Classification Board.
Politics will play a large part in
the decision of Congress. The Iowa
Congressman viii undoubtedly be un-
willing that his constituent should
get less money for doing the same
work that another Representative g
constituent is doing in New York.

WORRY

The Government system Of
efficiency ratings, by which it
determines the value Of its
employees, is having per-
nicious effect on these en-
ployes, DIR. d. Percy Hickling,
expert on mental diseases and

today.
DIR. Hickling was commenting on
the suicide last week OF Miss Doro-

internal Revenue Bureau. which
was said TO have resulted from con
ditions of her employment. when he
made his charge.
SinceS Miss Sherlock's suicide Mrs.
Margaret Hopkins Worrell, president
or the League of the American
Civil Service, has charged that many
women employees are broken in
health and driven to suicide as q
result OF the Government efficiency
systems.
Much Injustice
DIR. Hickling said he did not know
what had caused Miss Sherlock 3
death.
'tBut do know that the efficiency

Bureau Defends Pool
The Internal Revenue Bureau. in
a formal statement yesterday. denied
that Miss Sherlock had committed
suicide az result of conditions sur
rounding her employment.
The bureau also defended the
pool system in working stenog-
raphers and typists. Miss Sherlock
worked in a stenographic pool and
the "incessant hammering Of the ma.
chimes" is said to have caused her
suicide.
