COST QUIZ
MAY CUT DEMANDS
QUESTIONABLE Seen as Block
to Requests for More Funds
for Extra Employees.
M. GEoRGEs-MARIE HAARDT.

The QUESTIONABLE by which the adj
ninistration is gathering information
on the possible cost of the half holiday
for Government workers the year
through is being interpreted by those
In favor Of the holiday as a definite
attempt to put the responsible officers
Of the Government on record, so that
they win not ask for additional appro-
pr1ations to Offset the holiday.
This informal conclusion has been
reached by several Of the leaders Of the
holiday movement, after q study Of the
QUESTIONABLE.
Answers Due Monday.
In other quarters the questionnaire
was interpreted as meaning that the
Bureau of the Budget or the Bureau Of
Efficiency would not consider an an
swer acceptable which says that the
half holiday would require extra work
that could be made up during theaweek
This argument that the same work
could be done in less time has been
one Of the principal contentious of pro-
ponents Of the holiday.
The QUESTIONABLE, which was put
out by the Bureau Of the Budget, is
returnable, not to the Bureau of the
Budget, but to the Bureau of Efficiency,
not later than November ~, next
Monday.
Budget officers and other oficials
throughout the Government depart
ments and establishments are now bus
lily engar in trying TO answer the I'M
usual qu estions propounded by the Blu
reau of the Budget.
Questions Held Peculiar"
Some officials in various departments
have characterized the QUESTIONABLE as
peculiar" but they are going forward
to give the best answers that can be
developed.

tons very detailed description of the

tionnaire, copy of which was dis

BIG THREE FAVORS
EARLY GRID WORK
Harvard, Like Yale, Would
Practice Before Sept. Is.
Princeton in Line.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEw YORK, December 10.-Har-
M ward is ready to cooperate with
1 Yale-if yaIe desires-in 50
changing their athletic agree
ment as 70 permit foot ball practice to
begin September Is. This information
came to the writer today from an ex-
ceIlent authority.
Yale's coaches favor the change and
undergraduate sentiment Is back Of it.
At Princeton Al Wittmer, the new coach,
earlier practice, and so all indications
are that foot ball squads of Harvard,
Yale and Princeton will foregather next
year net later than Labor day.
Bill Roper, Princeton's retiring coach,
Is against the change and so expressed
himself at the Yale party at Nick Rob-
erts' barn on Saturday night. It makes,
he said, for overemphasis Of foot ball.
And It does.
II these three universities were meet
ing elevens all Of whom observed the
Septembr Is rule, there would be no
thought Of reaction in this matter. But
q condition and not . theory confronts
the big three. Saturday after Satur-
day, especially In the early part Of the
season, but, in fact, running all through
the season, the teams are called upon
70 face players who have had much
more time in which to 1T themselves
for the hard knocks and the physical
strain generally which foot bali entails.
In this way occurs, 1t is believed, the
unusually long hospital lists which an
nually mark foot ball at Cambridge,
Princeton and New Haven.
With the athletic authorities of the
three institutions favoring the earlier
practice date, reference still must be
had TO the educational authorities: but
It Is not believed that serious objection
viii be met In this quarter.
