DOUBLE ROSTER
To Be KEPT

There is no indication in the
near future that either the Pres
ident or the Civil Service Com
mission will take any action
favoring a single registry for
men and women by the commits
sion, instead Of separate regis
tries as at present, it was made
clear by the commission this
week.
Following a recent address by
Miss Jessie Dell, a member of the
commission, before the American
Alliance of Civil Service Women
in New York. in which she advo-
Gated a single register with the
person highest rated being certi-
fled for an opening regardless OF
sex, the alliance this week sent
to President Hoover and the COM
mission a petition to this effect.
The resolution declared there
had been widespread and flagrant
discrimination against women in
making appointments" adding
that such discrimination was
made possible by misinterpreta.
ton of an old rule of 1870 based
on an Executive order, and that
now women may head lists with
high ratings while men with lower
ratings get appointments.

BUREAU SHUNS
GIVING ADVICE

Despite charges from some
quanters that the Government
is trying to compete and inter-
fere too much with private busi-
ness. one office of the Govern
ment-the Bureau of Standards
has no intention of trying to
serve as a clearing house through
which the public would be kept
informed at all times about the
relative merits of competitive
merchandise.
This is made clear by A. S.
McAllister, assistant director for
commercial standardization at
the Bureau, who says there is
an ever-increasing demand from
the public for such information.
The Bureau does test certain
basic commodities which do not
change overnight, such as brake
Innings, shoe feathers, carpets,
auto tires, ETC., to assist manu-
facturers to improve their STAN
dards and produce uniform quail
tiles. McAllister points out,
however, that the Bureau tries
to avoid every appearance of
partiality.

RASKOB To STEP
OUT AS FARLEY
TAKESLEAD
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL

CHICAGO, July 2 Q.N.SO.
Fully determined upon a militant
campaign for the presidency, Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt will meet
with the new Democratic National
Committee tonight to name a
field general and map a course
Of strategy.
The way was cleared for q
prompt opening Of political hos
tilities by the decision of Cover
nor Roosevelt to accept formal
notification in the convention to-
day rather than wait until Au.
gust for the ceremony.
James A. Farley, chairman Of
the Democratic State Committee
for New York and generalissimo
Of the Roosevelt pre-convention
campaign, will assume an impos-
ing role in the final phase of the
drive for the White House.
Successor to RaskOb
Despite the fact that he has
been charged with bungling the
Roosevelt campaign by melting a
revolt over the two-thirds rule,
Farley is expected to be chosen
chairman Of the national commit
tee or become chief of the cam
paign forces under a different
title.
Roosevelt will dictate the elec!
ton of a new chairman for the
national committee to succeed
John j. Raskob.
A plan was being discussed by
advisers of the governor under
which Farley would succeed
Jouett Shouse as chairman of
the national executive commit
tee and thus permit another to
be named chairman.
Party Deficit $5OO,OOO
AS the new national committee
prepared to take over the party
reins, it was confronted by a
100000 deficit in addition to
the difficulty oi raising a large
campaign fund this year.
Economy was the keynote of
all discussion Of campaign plans
today. A large part of the usual
burden Of national campaign
may be shifted to State organ
izations to relieve the drain on
the treasury.
In addition to Farley, the
names of Homer Cummings, Of
Connecticut, and j. Bruce Kre-
mer, Of Montana, figured in the
predictions of a new national
chairman. Selection of an East
ern man as treasurer was ex-
pected. Jesse I. StrauS, New
York merchant, and Henry Nor
gantheau, jr., were discussed.

15,OOO DEMAND
 SARCON DAILY
Vast Growing Army of argon Users, Marching Single File, Would Encircle Globe in
 Only Few Years Time.

More like tale from the Arab ian Nights of old than a record of modern business achievement reads the story of the marvellous growth and development of Sargon, the New Scientific Compound which has become the sensation of the drug trade throughout the United States, Canada and other countries.
 The old illustration of the pebble dropped into the pool best describes the phenomenal and unprecedented demand and its fame is rapidly spreading over the entire American Continent like a great tidal wave.
 Recently compiled figures reveal that approximately 15,000 men and women are marching into the drug stores daily for Sargon and Sargon Soft Mass Pills, the marvellous new treatment that is restoring health to countless thousands by new and remarkable methods undreamed of only few years ago.
 Already more than 5,000,000 suf- fering men and women have put it to the test and have told other millions what it has done for them.
 Marching in regulation U $. Army fashion-single file-this vast army of Sargon users would reach from New York to San Francisco and at the present rate of sale would, in few years time, encircle the entire globe.
 The only explanation of Sargons triumph in the Medical World is Sargon's true worth. Back of it's triumph in the drug stores is it's triumph in the homes and it is the grateful endorsements of its mil lions of users that has made it the most widely talked of medicine in he world today.
 Sargon is extensively advertised st is true, but no preparation, no matter how extensively advertised could possibly meet with such phenomenal success unless It pos sessed absolute merit and extra ordinary powers as a medicine.
 There can be but one possible ex- planation for Sargon's amazing suc- cess and it can be told in one word, MERIT. For sale by Butler, Mauro Drug Co. adv

P|RATES' OLD. FOES HELPING
 TO COACH NOW
Otis Crandall and Grover Hartley Aiding to Pilot
 Dreyfuss Ship

PITTSBURGH, Penn, Jan. 26.- Two old baseball warriors who have done lot in their time to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates pennan1 aspirations will do all they can this coming season to win the flag fo, Forbes Field.
 Otis Crandall, one-time star pit cher, and Grover Hartley, veteran catcher, were among the Pirates greatest foes not so many years ago.
 Both wore New York Giants uni forms in the days when the ap- pearance of the McGrawmen in Pittsburgh was the signal for bat ting both on and off the ball field.
 Tc Coach Hurlers
 Now these two, graying about the temples, but rich in the knowledge of the game, are prominent figures in the strategy aboard the Pirate brig.
 George Gibson. another old timer who has come hack to Pittsburgh to pilot the Dreyfuss ship, looks to his pitching staff, above all else to pull the Bucs up higher in the National league standing.
 Himself recognized as one of the smartest eatchers of all time, GiEby pins his faith in the old New York battery to teach the youngsters and to keep his staff in line.
 Youngsters Look Good
 With Brame, Meine, French Spencer, Kremer and a flock of promising young hrlers on his roster, Gibson believes that Cran- dall and Hartley will be able to build his staff into one of the finest in the league
 T look for all around improve ment," said Gibson to friends here recently Both the infield and the outfield should be stronger. But watch my pitching this year. If all goes well, I think our staff will round into one of the finest and enc that will be able to take the team up among the contenders.'

WILLIAMS TOUGHEST
 IN AMERICAN LOOP.
 GOAL TENDERS VOTE

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 26.-The hardest shooting player in the Am erican hockey league-by a vote of opposing goalies, who ought to know -is Burr Williams, star defense man of the St. Louis Flyers. Every goal tender but one agreed conner in the St.Louis lineup, puts more power behind the puck than anybody else.
 Williams, who stands six feet tall and weighs 1855 pounds, is playing his fourth season of pro- fessional hockey.
 A native of Shawnee, Okla, he is one of the few players in the professional leagues to be born in the United States.
 He learned the game as boy in Canada, however
 Last summer, he also followed the ice game, delivering the com modity for a Tulsa, Okla, firm.
 St. Louis fans give Williams much of the credit for the spurt which recently carried the Flyers from the bottom of the list well up into the running.

 lew scubts very much whethe, he viii be able to come to ths United States, as an Olympic spec tator or official. He can have z job with the British team if ht wanls it.
 No greater half-miler or better sportsman ever trod the track thar Douglas Lowe Slim and handsome he was the picture of gracefulness in action. He had a tremendou. stride but also superb forr.
 On the boiling hot day at Stam- ford Bridge four years ago wher saw him run two relay races, tht last one a half-mile anchor leg in 1:5l, I believe Lowe was the greatest half-miler of all time.
 Otto Peltzer, Lloyd Hahn, Sera Martin, Ray Watson, Schuyler Enck and other top-notch half milers were not in Loves clas: when he was in his prime in 1928 The British star retired shortly after the Olympics that year anc hasn't appeared in competition since.
