Colonial Beach Auto Lane
Dotted With Interests

gantown Beach, a favorite water
spot and ferry terminal TO Co.
lonial Beach. Various amuse-
ment devices are here.
The majestic Potomac comes
into view, a vast panorama Of
water extending for miles in every
direction. In the distance may
be seen a Wilson Line boat from
Washington crowded with pleas
ure-seekers on its way to Colonial
Beach. The sturdy little ferry
boat, Miss Washington, takes us
aboard.
Excellent Bathing
The attractive shore lines make
this one of the most delightful
scenes of the tour. Colonial Beach
appears off the starboard bow
with its charming line of hotels,
beach and midway. The laughter
of the bathers, the enchanting
music from the casino, and the
welcoming shouts from the wait
ing crowds are clearly heard as
we slowly ease into the pier.
Registering at our favorite
hotel we dip into the clean salt
water, enjoy a real sea-food dinner
and a stroll on the promenade,
and after a cool nights rest are
away next morning for Potomac
Beach.
This beach is only two miles
from Colonial Beach over good
road, and the finest bathing,
fishing and dining may be en-
ioyed. The hotel and cottages
are located on a high bluff over
looking the Potomac River and
offer a superb view of the Mary
land shore line. Wakefield, the
birthplace of George Washing
ton, also. may be easily reached.
The house has been restored. Ar
irving at Fredericksburg, we stop
at the Princess Anne Hotel for
luncheon.
Our next stop is Mt. Vernon,
the home of George WaShingto

OFFICIALS VIE v
COLLEGE AID
IN j. s. JOBS
Discussion Here Makes Note
of Employees Proposal at
Convention in Minneapolis

To what extent colleges should
and could prepare their graduates
for careers in the Government
service, is being warmly discussed
among Federal officials here this
week, while university and Govern
ment authorities in convention at
Minneapolis are discussing the
same question formally.
Thomas z. Campbell, civil serv-
ice commissioner, is there repre-
senting his office; Luther c. Stew
ard, president of the National Fed
Grafton Of Federal Employees, is at
tending, representing the Govern
ment workers, and leading Federal
and university authorities are also
taking part in the discussion.
1t is freely admitted here that
q college education would make
any Government employe that
much better; that a college de-
gree is essential for many posts,
and that practically all branches
of the Government service offer
plenty of opportunity for a col
lege trained man or woman. The
point most argued here this week
is, whether it pays the usual col
lege graduate to start IN as a
Government clerk, as most do,
and whether he could advance
farther and faster outside.
AS for colleges changing their
curricula specifically to train men
and women for the Government
service, which is proposed at the
convention, that also comes in for
frank discussion.

OFFICERS FEAR
PLATFORM IS
MENACED
Miss MCNaIIy Tits Question
With Sol Bloom; 14-PIank'
Issues Backed by DC. Group

With the full strength of the
District of Columbia Federation of
Federal Employees Union behind
the proposal. the question of the
five-day week composed Of six.
hour days will be one of the most
important and controversial topics
to come before the annual conven-
tion of the National Federation at
Seattle, September z.
The resolution, pushed by the
women'S union of the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing, was
adopted this week at the meet
ing of the District federation rep
Tesentatives, and this means the
proposal will be carried to Seattle
Tor action.
Opinions at Variance
Miss Gertrude McNally, secre-
tary-treasurer of the National
Federation, and Sol Bloom of the
George Washington Bicentennial
Commission, have been arguing
the matter publicly for some
days.
While the national federation
leaders thus far have not ex-
pressed eagerness to press just
now for a five-day week nor six
hour day, it is understood they
are merely concerned with the
danger to their older platform
planks If this should be intro
duced now and not hostile to the
measure.
There are some members and
leaders of the District Federal
Employees Union who feel that
those who are pressing this and
other measures are not truly rep
reSentative Of the union bodies;
Just as there are nOn-memberS
who believe the unions do not
properly represent the great body
of Government employees.
Attitude of BackerS
This fact alone makes for diff
ference of opinion. The hest
fancy of the National Fedora
tion leaders to back this new
proposal also indicates ardent
discussion in September.
However, the attitude o. the
five-day-week hackers has been
set forth clearly.
They contend that Cd the five
day week of six-hour days is in
keeping with the modern indus
trial and sociological trend; 90
that it is feasible, if not neces'
sary considering how modern
machinery is lesSening the need
for human labor; 90 that pres
ent unemployment conditions de-
mand some such step; "a that
the attitude of the Administra-
tion is consistently opposed to
lower wages or discharging en-
ployees, and the Government
should take the initiative in this
modern movement so other en-
ployers would follow suit; 60
that more people could be en-
ployed if such a plan were car"
ried out generally, and go that
greater efficiency would result
from a five-day week of shorter
hours than at present.
Might Be Danger
Neither the National Fedora
tl0n leaders, nor any cOntenderS
I'm the ranks of the employees
themselves, nor any Government
officials have denied these points
publicly. The national officers
merely insist that their platform
of IA points as tentatively pre-
pared for submission to the Sc
attle convention and later to
Congress embraces already a for
lnidable program.

WASHINGTON, D. C.,--(By W. "A.

Among other things the Secretary said: Tn prescribing the month of September for hunting of water fowl in Alaska we were convinced that this period would give the sportsmen turnout the Territory shooting opportunities comparable with those in the Northwestern states. We regret, therefore, that we cannot accede to the requests of your constituents for a later open season. The Department does not contemplate making further changes in the seasons this year" * x ;;
