ECONOMIES LISTED
IN GRANTS REPORT
Office of Buildings and Parks
Saved $40, 900 in Year,
President Advised.

Economies upward of $4,000 were
accomplished by the Office of Public
Buildings and Public Parks during the
fiscal year ending last June, Lieut.. Col.
u. S. Grant, Sd, its director, advised
President Hoover yesterday, in his an
nual report.
Col. Grant advised the Chief Execu-
tive that high-grade paint was pro-
duced in the use of the paint grinding
mill of the Office, resulting in an actual
saving of $1,69080.
The operation of the awning shop
also resulted in economies, Col. Grant
said, T38 awnings being made at cost
of $4,269.48 and 2,146 were recovered
at a cost of $S,326.s3. The colonel
pointed out that if this work had been
done by private contract the cost would
have been increased approximately 35
per cent. In addition, he added, 1896
mops were manufactured at cost of
81 l,693.82, which if done by private con-
tract would have meant cost increase
of about Is per cent.
"By experience" Col. Grant asserted,
ait has been found that the use of
theft-proof electric lamps in places
where the ordinary type of lamp could
be easily stolen has resulted in con-
siderable saving, and, consequently,
their use has been continued.
"As a result of the arrangement
which was reported upon in the annual
report of this Office for the fiscal year
1928. electric current for the operation
of the elevator and lights in the Wash
ington Monument is still being pur-
chased from the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, instead of from the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co. This ar
rangement has resulted in the saving of
$1,564.95 for the fiscal year 1880. Dur
ing the fiscal year 1929, an additional
saving of S1,325.45 was made There
fore, total saving of $2,89O.40 has been
made since the. new arrangement has
been put into effect. The saving ef-
fected for the year and 10 months just
about offsets the cost of the work in
connection with the installation of the
lines to the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing substation."

Holds Men Turning

N. Y. Physician Declares

Compete With Women.
az the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 3.-Men are
seeking makeup beauty aids to hold
their jobs against feminine competition,
DR.. Herman Goodman said in a medical
lecture here.
''White-collar workers" he said, view
the competition of women who avail
themselves Of beauty culture and are
examining themselves more carefully
than hitherto.
Although men have been backward
in taking advantage OF cosmetic aids in
business, the situation is rapidly chang
ing. BARRIERS throughout the country
are studying their trade all over again.
They are preparing to offer man pa
irons about every service which the
woman gets in beauty shop
Economic necessity win force many
men into accepting new ideas. Haircut,
shave and manicure will not suffice.
People must look fit and young to
hold jobs. There will be more dyed
heads and more facials given to men
than before the business depression.
In so far as cosmetics are concerned,
there viii be a single standard for men
and women-they will both use them"
Dr. Goodman is practicing physician
and medical member of the Board of
Standards of the National Hairdressers
and CoSmetologists' Association.
