PATRONAGE LIST
BEING COMPILED
Civil Service Taking Poll
Following Many Requests
From Democrats.

The Civil Service Commission today
started taking q patronage poll"
Besieged with requests from Demo
cratic sources as to the number and
character Of Jobs that may be filled by
appointment without regard to Civil
Service tests, the Commission addressed
letter to the heads Of the establish
ments in the executive branch of the
Government asking that this informa-
ton be compiled.
Every class from laborer up is COW
cred by this questionable" and it is
asked that the data be made available
as quickly as possible, with December
Is fixed as the deadline for returns, il
1t Is possible to get in replies by that
date.
Sample Forms Prepared.
To facilitate the compilation and in
panied by sample forms showing lust
how 1t Is desired the information be
given.
Four principal questions are to be
answered: Location of the position;
date when the incumbent was ap-
pointed; tenure of Office, and salary.
1t Is also requested that positions ex-
cepted from civil service which are filled
by appointees who have classified status
be listed
In succinct fashion, the letter states
why the information is sought.
In ORDER" they say, that the COM
mission may comply with requests for
information as to the number of off,
GERS and employees in the executive civil
service whose appointments are not made
through competitive examination, this

the earliest possible moment"
Precedent Followed.
1t is explained that names of en-

In taking this poll" the commission
at least 20 years.
Records available show that the same
thing was done when President Wilson
succeeded President Taft in 1918 and
eight years later, when President Hard
ing took Office
In each case the result was volume
close to half inch in thickness, with
every patronage job in the United
states and its possessions set down.
There are slightly more than 108. 200
Jobs In the executive branch of the
Government which are not covered by
civil service. OF these, about 1000 are
at the direct disposal of the President,
this number including approximately
$4,000 postmasterships in first, second
and third class Offices The rest fall
within the province of other govern
mental heads.
The collection of the data on the
patronage at the disposal of the incom-
ing administration centers attention for
the second time this week as to the
possibilities of shifts In Federal per-
sonnet after the Democrats come into
power
Earlier. Representative McClintic,
chairman of the House Democratic
Patronage Committee, announced his
intention of pushing a resolution to
require examinations Of Government
employees "blanketed" into civil service
after entering Government employ
without taking competitive test. In
this he was supported by Senator Nc
Kellar of Tennessee, ranking Democrat
on the Senate Civil Service Committee.

FAIRY TALES FOR
SMALL TOTS OUT
Modern Kindergartens Also
Have New System For
Teaching Alphabet

Chicago, Dec. 2s.-(P)-That "A Is
for apple" way Of mastering the al
phabet is "out"
That's according to advanced ped
agogical theories propounded these
days in three nursery schools, two Of
which are run as part of public
school systems. and believed to be
pioneers in this connection.
Also Cinderella" Little Red Rid
ing Hood and Sleeping Beauty"
are decreed as unfit literature for
baby's first books.
However, in these ultra-m modern
pre-kindergarten schools children
still learn to count in the old-fash-
Toned 1-2-3-4-5 way.
But when 1t comes to learning
their letters the youngsters absorb
them incidentally In words, such as
"cat."
AS explained by Mrs. Rose H. Al
schiller, founder and staff director
of the Franklin, the Winnetka, and
the Garden Apartments nursery
schools, fairy stories are not ruled
out altogether but are held over UNI
til the infant is four or five years
old and has some comprehension.
Then, she explained, he isn't terri

must win with the ace.
Now let the declarer start the
heart suit. At the end, North must
hold the ace and jack of spades and
the ace and six of clubs. Dummy
will have the ten Of spades, the
eight of diamonds and the king and
eight of clubs.
East, which is the hand that will
be squeezed, will hold the queen and
jack Of diamonds, and the king and
nine Of spades. Declarer will lead
the small club from dummy. winning
in his own hand with the ace, fore
ing East to discard the jack of dia-
monds.
The small club will then be led
by declarer, and East will be squeezed.
He will be forced to discard either
the queen of diamonds or the nine
of Spades-in either case the declar-
er will win the remaining tricks.
Each national tournament usually
brings out some new outstanding
player. Among the list of champions
for 1892 will be found two new names
that of S. Carton Churchill, for
merly Of Bellefontaine, O., and now
residing in New York, and of B. J..
Becker of Philadelphia. These two,
with their teammates, George Reith
and Waldemar Won Zedtwitz, won the
national contract team champion
ship at New York.
We hear a great deal about psy-
chic bidding, but it was surprising
to note, at the recent national tourn-
ament, that very little psychic bid
ding was used. The following hand
shows how Mr.. Churchill trapped a
psychic bidder in the team match.

Charts already made, he said. show
that 1.-The total man hours in manu-
facture are decreasing inversely with
time, production per capita is in
creasing directly with time, the ratio
OF debt to production Is increasing
faster than production and directly
as the time and the debt per capita

Power Plant Is Model
The modern power plant offers the
model which democracy thinks may
be adopted for future business plan
ming. Explaining this, he said:
Another factor which calls for
very serious attention Is that we have
developed very highly integrated
social mechanism, one in which more
delicate adjustments are called for
and for which more scientifically
designed control equipments are de-
manded.
1.-THE whole basis OF control of the
business machine should be examined
with respect to the adequacy OF de-
sign Of its equipments. The modern
power station is possibility because
the many pieces Of apparatus to be
operated In combination to generate
current at varying loads are inte-
grated and controlled by properly
designed control devices. The social

The Bidding
South and West passed. North
opened with one no trump. While 1t
Is not a particularly favorable no
trump hand. the bid may be used to
indicate to partner q strong hand.
East passed, as he was quite con-
tent to open diamonds against no
trump contract, as it looked as
though his king Of spades was an
In card.
South bid three hearts-a forcing
response to show partner that there
Is an absolute game in the hand.
North responded with four no trump.
Here we find jump response
When the original bid is a no trump,
. forcing response Is given, and then
q Jump response in no trump Is
made as described in this bidding,
1t can mean only one thing-that
the four no trump bidders hand has
control of three suits, and as he is
bidding no trump, it must mean that
he has three aces. In other words,
the original bidder may not invite a
slam without having control of three
suits.
South bid five hearts, North bid
six no trump.
This bid Of six no trump gave
South q very good picture of the orgi-
inal bidders hand. Undoubtedly his
suit was spades, and he in all prob
ability has q five card spade suit
due to the fact that South holds only
I singleton.
His original bid Of no trump, and
now his re-bidding the no trump, in
dictate heart support. Why hasn't he
shown his spade suit or supported
hearts. 1t any time? Because he
holds $50 aces.
while South might be considered
bold In bidding seven hearts, he has

scribed as more important than all

Second, its effects on man. and the

thinks are forecast unless more pur-
pose comes into its direction.
Third, a program Of the -four car

The power revolution began about
400 years ago, he said, in simple ma
chimes for use in home spinning and
in mines.
But today with machines the "civi-

It is rs to 100 times as much per

evolved to stop machines from

Thermodynamics and Chemistry
Second, kinematics, the laws gov

Then thermodynamics, mostly con-
tributed by astronomers and mathe-
maticians, the laws Of power in mo-

this power revolution.
