HOOVER SURVEY.
Of WORKERS
LAUNCHED
Technical Stats of U. S. May
Be Unified That Services
May Be Given FIexibiIity

The Council Of Personnel Ad-
ministration, recently created by
executive order of President
Hoover, has begun a survey of
$4,000 Federal workers.
The chief goal of the survey
is to effect, if possible, unity Of
effort between the scientific and
technical employees of the govern
ment. Exchange of data and the
"loaning" Of scientific workers by
one bureau to another will be with
a view to encouraging the practice
and making the entire service Of
professional workers more flex-
ible.
Thomas E. Campbell, head of
the Civil Service Commission, is
chairman of the council, which
held a preliminary meeting yes
terday.
The study of civil service work
ers ultimately will be extended to
the clerical. administrative, and
fiscal divisions, which comprise
the rank and file of Uncle Sans
employees.
The council has been appointed
by President Hoover for an in
definite tenure of office and will
meet again in the late summer.

NASTY FOODS
NOW DISGUISED

They have disguised cod liver
oil, castor oil, milk, spinach and
a few other foods and medicines
now so that kiddies. presumably,
will not know when they are get
ting something good for them
hence, by child logic, something
insufferable.
The latest stunt is fish-and
several firms now take parts of
haddock, cod and other fish, dry
them to powder and mix the
pulverized fish in a 10 per cent
proportion with wheat flour to
go in the kind of cookies mother
used to make.
In commencing both fish as
food and this method of serving
it, the Department of Agriculture
specialists help to put one over"
on unSuspecting kiddies by re-
minding mothers that "the taste
of the fish flour can be thor.
oughly disguised by the cookies"
The proteins, minerals and vita
minis contained in the fish flour
have long been available for live
stock, but of late the benefits
have been prepared for young
sterS' StomachS also.

ALEXANDRIA
DUMP AREA
Jefferson District Citizens
Aroused at Proposed Site
on RiChmond-D. C. Highway

Aroused by the opening of a
new dumping ground on a TO
acre tract of land on the Rich
mond Washington Highway by
the city Of Alexandria, the JEFF
ferson District Citizens Associa-
ton, of Arlington county, last
night adopted resolution oppoS-
ing these proposed dumping opera
tionS.
In Residential Section
1t was pointed out that while
the new dump may be within the
city limits of Alexandria, it is
very close to residential areas in
the Jefferson district of Arlington
county, while the tract of land
to be used for this purpose is
not near to the residential dis
trict of Alexandria.
Investigation at the Arlington
courthouse revealed that no per-
mits had been granted there for
dumping in Jefferson district.
Adjustment of dumping there
came as the result of a long
fight on the part of citizens of
that section against the practice.
Copies of the resolution will be
sent to Representative Howard w.
Smith, the county health depart
ment, and the county board of
supervisors.

WOODCOCK
Administration of Prohibition
to Be Success, He Says,With
Big VioIators Goal of Drive

Based on nearly a years ex-
perience of the Justice Depart
ment in administration of the pro.
hibition law, "a special instructors
today were launching into a
course on the finer points of
scientific enforcement.
Two experts from each OF the
districts, who have been instruct
ing old and new agents for about
. year, were called to the capital
BY Prohibition Administrator
Amos w. WOOdcOck for a round
mp course. About July l they will
return to their districts and lead
$50 new agents to attack the big
ViOlatOrS of the prohibition laws.
Woodcock explained the opinion
that the Government was "on the
right track" in it's method of en-
forcement-that is, the specialized
training of an efficient personnel
which will enforce the law
through lawful methods, avoid
hardboiled tactics which engen-
derS public sentiment against the
law, and pressing only important
cases in the courts.
Paddock procedure is being
used to close premises quartering
large violators. Speakeasies and
other Establishments which do
not involve major production, or
sale are left to the local authori-
ties.
Expenditures for the next fiscal
year will be several million dol
lars more in view of the new
agents authorized by Congress.

NABEsNA MINING CORP.
 WILL HAVE SHIPPED
 $G0,000 WORTH 0F 0RE.

"The Nabesna Mining Corpora tion will have shipped this year 0,000 worth of bullion concen- trates and high-grade concentrates to the Tacoma smelter when the last shipment of 5000 arrives from the mine in December" stated Carl Whitman, general manager of the mine, who arrived in Cordova re- gently, reports the Cordova Times.
 MT. Whitman has been in charge of the work at the corporations White gold mine at Nabesna during the past season and reported that We finished the installation of our mill and ran it for 700 hours, treating between one and a half and two tons of ore per hour. The mill-heads averaged $9O per ton.
 We had 20 men employed at our camp during the season and drove in a new tunnel 452 feet long to tap the Bear Vein at a depth of 162 Most of the distance in this new feet below our upper-level tunnel. tunnel we were in ore that runs $6O per ton and from one to six feet in width.
 The bullion concentrates we shipped to the smelter ran from s20,000 to $80,OO0 per ton and the high grade concentrates were worth between $l,o00 and $2,OOO per ton. The lowest grade concentrates we produced in our mill averaged about $60 per ton and this concen- trate has been stacked at the plant for retreatement at some future time.
 We will be in shape to run our mill next year at least three times as long as we did in the past sea- son, and we will make some further improvements in our mill equip ment. This will materially increase our percentage of recovery per ton.
 "The Nabesna country is in the center of a highly n1ineralized re- zion of great extent. Lack of trans portation has, so far, been the great draw back to it's development as mining diStict. The Alaska Road Commission did wonderful work last summer on the Gulkana Chi sana highway, which is being built into this region. This road is now open for use as far as Slana river and a bridge will be completed across this stream this fall. Pros pecting and mining development will keep pace with the further ex- tension of this road and that new mining district of great importance is now in the making in the North Wrangell mountain region, seems as assured fact.
 "The airplane service into the Nabesna this last summer by the Gillian Airways, Inc, was a great help to the Nabesna Mining Cor poration in their work, and until a truck road reaches NabeSna the air plane is the only feasible way to get freight in and out during the summer months. The building of larger and safer landing fields would do much toward lowering the cost of air freight"
