APPEAL IS MADE
FOR GARNER

LOS ANGELES. April 80 U.S0
A final, stirring argument for
Speaker John N. Garner and an
appeal to California Democrats
to elect the Garner delegation in
Tuesdays presidential primary
election was made today in a
statement issued by DR.. z. T.
Malaby, chairman of the Demo
cratic State committee.
He said in part:
'In the California primaries
of May 3. the Democratic vOt.
erS will have three candidates
to choose from: Roosevelt,
Smith and Garner. Both Roose-
welt and Smith come from New
York, and both have the fl
nancial and political back
ground that the people do not
want.
'Tn the John N. Garner
ticket, the California voters
have an opportunity to vote
for a delegation that will go to
the national convention at Chi.
Cago instructed to vote for a
Democratic can lidate for Presi.
dent in whom the party and
the people will have conf
dence."

STATE TAX PACT
WITH j. s. SEEN

Favorable Administration action
on a proposal by Secretary OF
the Treasury Mills that a COM
mission be named to bring about
coordination of State and Federal
tax systems was seen today as a
strong possibility.
President Hoover may take the
initiative and bring the problem
of overlapping and buSiness-ham-
pering tax systems of the various
States and the Federal govern
ments to the attention of the
governors in an effort to bring
about a systematic, unbiased, and
comprehensive study of these
problems.
Appearing before the New York
City Bar Association, Mills sug-
gested such study be made by
a commission on which the Fed
eral and State governments
should be represented by men of
ability and breadth of view. Half
the members should be appointed
by the President and half by the
governors conference, according
to Mills.
The Washington times., 1932-04-30

those carrying forward such
work are performing a useful
service. At a time, however,
when searching inquiry is
directed to costs, the inSiStent
question from all quarters Of
the country is, what other
Government occupations en-
failing expenditures are with
out legitimate reason for con-
tinuance.
'Many branches of the
Government, both National and
local, are Overmanned. Over
tapping bureaus, boards and
commissions are placing an un-
necessary expense burden on
the taxpayers. Their main
tenance can be only for political
expedience.
'Tt would seem to be a time
of all times when plain speak
ing on the part of those who
are paying the bill is in order.
There are statesmen who
are trying to stop extravaganza
in public spending. They should
have the support of the Nation
now asking relief from an un-
bearable load"

SCHOOL BOARD
BILL VOTE NEAR

An early vote in the Senate
District Committee on the bill
providing for the election Of
members of the Board Of Edu-
cation was promised today by
Senator Capper, chairman, al
though an unusually slim attend
ance at the committee table pre-
vented action late yesterday after
the close of hearings. Only
Chairman Capper was there to
conduct a one-man hearing en-
the bill. 1t has been before Con-
gress for several years and two
previous hearings had been held.
Several spokesmen for the
Parent Teachers Association and
other civic organizations were in
troduced by Mrs. w. T. Banner
man, chairman of the Joint COM
mittee for an elective school
board.
The sole opposing witness was
Evan H. Tucker, of the Northeast
Citizens Association, who pro-
tested that there is no adequate
election machinery in the District
and that the better class of citi-
zenS" probably would not run for
Office on the board. He preferred
retention of the present appoin-
tive system.
Harry N. Stull. of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, said
that in contrast to other cities
the people of the District had
only a very remote" control of
their school system and this
should be changed.

YEARLY RATING
Of CLERKS IS
UNDER WAY
All Federal Employees to
Be Checked Up by
Efficiency Bureau

Overshadowed and perhaps
nullified by the looming elm
ination of salary increases,
the annual efficiency grading
of Federal employees now be-
ginning and continuing until
May Is is, nonetheless one
of the big events of the spring
season for Government workers.
Indications at the Capitol are
that salary increases will be
barred until July, 1884. However,
the annual marking of efficiency
records for every Government en-
ploye by department superiors will
60 through as usual.
Marked as Usual
Thomas F. Murphy, assistant
chief of the Bureau Of Efficiency,
today said that the new ratings
would be marked up as usual,
and those deserving higher per-
centage would get it, even though
the increased salary usually &C
companying such a higher mark
ing may not be granted.
In the course of events, every
employe who has been in the
service for any length Of time
will get higher efficiency mark
ing on his record, Mr.. Murphy
said, explaining that experience
alone usually gives better ratings.
Under the marking system ap-
proved by the President and
Congress and outlined by the Bu-
reau of Efficiency, the efficiency,
promptness, industry, initiative,
attitude toward superiors, ETC., OF
each employe are judged and
rated by his immediate superior,
which marking is reviewed by the
next superior, and co-ordinated
by one central office in the de-
partment.
Eligible for Increase
Employees thus registering Spe-
cial merit are made eligible for
salary increases within the grade;
thus an employe of a CAT grade
with an efficiency rating 95 per
cent may receive the maximum
salary for that CAT grade, while
another employe Of the same
grade but with an efficiency rat
ing of only rs may receive the
minimum salary for that grade.
Each department, each year, at
this time checks up on each en-
ploy in this way, and it is an
anxious period for Government
workers.

NANCY PAGE
Start When, Young to Be
Kind to Teeth.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Peter Page ST.. had suffered all his
life from poor teeth. Nancy's were not
much better. But their young son
seemed to have escaped, at least to
some degree.
Probably this was due to the fact that
Nancy realized the baby's teeth were
started for good or bad, long before the
child was born. She had been careful
to eat green vegetables. drink milk and
in other ways supply herself with cal
cium and vitamins for months before
Peter arrived
Then when Peter was just baby
she had wiped out his mouth, even into
the farthest, darkest corner with a soft
cloth dipped in a mild salt solution.
At about 18 months of age he had
his first tooth brush, soft, narrow one
with two rows of bristleS.
He had been taught to use the tooth
brush in elevator fashion. rubbing it up
and down and not crossWise.
His dentifrice had been a half tea
spoonful of salt in glass of warm wa
ter.
At 2la years Of age he made his first
trip to the dentist. Fortunately Nancy
had never let him hear startling tales
about the hurts which come in the
dentists chair Peter went to the Office
with the belief he was going to meet a
friend, and meeting friends is not a
dreaded procedure. Peter was not told
to be brave and not in any way did he
draw the inference that pain was to be
inflicted On the other hand he was
not assured that the dentist would not
hurt him. The visit and its happenings
were treated as matter Of course.

slowly paling until it passed from sight.

Good Nature.

When you give child hitch" on
the road or drive Mrs. Jones, your next
door neighbor, into town with you, your
good nature may exact a penalty. Un-
fortunately there is liability of accident,
and your innocent favor will cost you
money
Your neighbor might not have a very
good claim on you in the event Of an
accident If she accepts your offer of
ride she does so with full knowledge
of your ability as a driver. Therefore
she accepts all of the risks incurred,
and if an accident results during the
drive, she has no claim on you for dam
ages
That, at least. has been the ruling Of
q few courts. However, there Is always
some risk If the accident were to
occur because of some defect in the car
which might have been apprehended in
time or because of some neglect or
carelessness on your part, she might
have case. You give no guarantee Of
safety with your invitation, but certain
facts are assumed. and your good ma
ture may incur bill for damages.
Picking up children on their way to

IN OBBER THE RAT, old, gray
u and wise, with the cunning OF
long experience, had discovered
i what had become of the Rats
who had disappeared so mys-
teriously. At least, he had discovered
the cause of those disappearance. He
knew that they had been caught by one
of the enemies he feared most, an Owl.
The worst Of it was that Owl was
actually inside Farmer Browns barn,
where Robber and his tribe had SO long
done about as they pleased. He called
together all the Robbers, old and
young, and told them what he had seen
and warned them of the great danger
they were in If they were careless or
too bold.
You all know" said he, that Owls
are among our most dangerous enemies,
for they hunt in the night at the very
time we like best to be out and about,
they fly without making sound and
Rats and Mice are their favorite food.
There is an Owl in this barn. How he
happens to be here don't know. Only
once before have known of such a
thing. That was when Spooky the
Screech Owl took shelter in here for
short time, and he was more inter
ested in Mice than in us. for Spooky
is little fellow. The Owl I saw today
is big fellow. 1t wasn't Hooty the
Great Horned Owl. don't know what
member Of the family it was. but that
doesn't matter. As long as that fellow
Is In this barn you will each one Of
you have to watch your step. Prob
ably he will not stay long If you keep
out Of his sight he will decide that the
hunting isn't good here and move on.
Now that we know who our enemy
Is we will know who to watch for and
that is help. There is nothing We
can do about it but to be careful and
be patient The safest time to move
about will be in broad daylight, for
Owls sleep through the day
Don't you think it would be better
for us to leave and find another home?"
asked timid young Rat.
Where would you have us go?" de-
manded Robber
Il don't know" confessed the timid
young Rat.
II didn't think you did," replied
