got George Greenwood and Frank
Carruthers and Fred Pignon to
concede that there was something
10 say for the American idea of a
stringent qualifying test.
They left the gate open by de
p'oring the fact that the worthy
Mr.. Simpson, then taking a dire
beating from jess SweetSer IN the
final round at Muirfield, was not
precisely a representative Of the
best British amateur golf.
One OF them. indeed, referred to
Mr.. Simpson impolitely as a rab-
bit, the British term for easy prey
IN a golf tournament.
That was my opening.
Well I said mildly. i've never
seen many rabbits get into a cham
pionship through a 36-hole medal
test"
Mr.. Greenwood was more than a
little generous. He said they yet
might come to the system. IL seems
the women have done SO.

SCOUT TRAINING
SAVES BOY

His Boy Scout training prob
ably saved the life of Charles
Mead, 12-year-old visitor in the
Capital area, who almost drowned
Wednesday in the Squall on
Chesapeake Bay. Although eligible
for Scout membership only for
a few months, young Charles is
already a First Class Scout, an
expert swimmer, and keeps cool
in an emergency.
He is the son of Major Edward
c. Mead, of Fort Leavenworth.
Kans., and is visiting Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Krieger, at Fair
haven Cliffs, Herring Bay. He
was out fishing with Harold Hor'
ton, when the squall came up
suddenly. They rowed a few mo-
ments until the huge waves over
turned the boat. They barely
managed to swim ashore. Several
motorboats tried to rescue them
but could not maneuver close
enough in the heavy seas.

Daniel w. Bell, for the past

of the Treasury Department, is
slated to be the new commits
sioner, succeeding Robert G..
Hand, who committed suicide
Thursday, it was indicated at the
Treasury today.
Mr.. Bell, who has been in the
Treasury Department for 20
years, is barely 40, but is consid-
cred almost as adept with figures
and the Governments financial
problems as was Mr.. Hand. Dur
ing Mr.. Hands illness the past
year Mr.. Bell has been handling
more and more of the commits
Sioner's work, and high Treasury
officials this afternoon declared
he is fully competent to take
over this high office, which ranks
next to the Undersecretary's post
and is relied on by Secretary
Mellon and President Hoover for
quick, accurate financial estimates
of the Governments major opera
tionS.
Mr.. Bell indicated that, under
the circumstances, he would take
over the office quietly. He lives

NEW BUILDINGS
To De AIRED

Efforts of the Hearst papers
and Federal employees leaders to
assure comfort in all the new
Government buildings now being
built here are assured of success.
James A. Wetmore, supervising
architect of the Treasury, has an
nounced that all the new build
ings will have vents so that air
cooling devices can be installed
after the buildings are completed.
Some have cooling apparatus
now, and the Commerce Building
has a cooling arrangement for
part of the office rooms but not
all.
1t is held too late now to
change the major designs of the
buildings, but it has been an
nounced that enough changes
have been made so that cooling
apparatus can be installed in
them all as soon as practicable.

CLERKS WITH
JOB QUERIES
5 Men Toll Overtime Handling
Applications for Places
Under Civil Service Rule

Five men are busy all day long
and until 1890 at night in the
mail room at the Civil Service
Commission, handling the ava
lanche of applications for the
Filing Clerk Register. the closing
date for which was a recent fea-
ture of the employment situation
here.
E. Claude BabcOck, Of the Civil
Service Commission office, says
there is no telling now how many
applications were received, but he
believes $4,000 would be a fair
estimate.
The work Of examining all the
applications, grading those eligi-
BILE, discarding those ineligible or
incomplete, ETC., is now under way.
Last Mondays mail was the
heaviest in the history of the COM
mission, he said, due to the flood
of applications for file clerk jobs.
The register of eligibles, which
will be filled out after the appli-
cants are all listed, will be one
of the largest lists the commits
sion has had in any branch, it
was indicated.
Applications were received from
all the 48 States and the terri
tories, including the District of
Columbia, and the apportionment
rule will be observed in the Sc
lection of employees, he said. Be.
cause of the small apportionment
of the District Of Columbia, local
residents will have small chance
for these jobs, it was pointed out.

By THE RAMBLER

The tour this week to Colonial
Beach and tributary points passes
through some of the most his
toric points in America.
Starting at The Washington
Times Building, we proceed down
Thirteenth Street to Pennsylvania
Avenue. Turning left, we get a
splendid view of the Capitol. Pass
ing through the Capitol grounds
we are soon back on the Avenue.
A turn to the right on Eleventh
Street Southeast and we are cross
ing the Anacostia Bridge.
The quiet Potomac is a pretty
sight, with its attractive pano-
rama of yachts, motor and sail
boats, and the park grounds just
below the bridge. Turning left at
the signal light in Anacostia, we
are away on the Good Hope Road
out into Maryland's fertile farm
ing lands.
Giant Shade Trees
Growing crops of tobacco and
corn and attractive homes nes-
tling under giant shade trees,
with neatly kept lawns, make a
charming picture to greet the eye
upon all sides. Swiftly speeding
through miniature pine forests
with their fragrant odor, cool and
clean, directly through T. B., bear
ing to the right, we are at last
upon the direct road.
T. B. is a very historical point
and many large plantations were
located here. Several of the old
mansions are still standing. Wal
dorf is soon only a memory and
then La Plata comes into view.
This attractive little Southern
town is now bee hive of
industry with a modern hotel
and business sections.
Just as we start to realize our
hunger the Southern Maryland
Hotel looms directly ahead.
Tobacco Center
La Plata is the center of the
tobacco culture of Maryland and
the products grown in this sec
ton command a. premium price.
Another interesting point is the
courthouse which directly faces
the Southern Maryland Hotel.
On we go, on our way to MOI
