CURED well for the local yard, as it
indicates that now, as far as can be
seen, there will be no curtailment in
employment of personnel at Washing
ton at present.
Admiral William v. Pratt, chief Of
naval operations, said today that the
Navy has received no orders to cut its
appropriations 10 per cent. The de-
partment, he revealed, is making a
number of studies relating both to
equipment and personnel as a precau-
tionary measure to fit in with any new
fiscal policy that may be adopted.
Mr.. Jahncke revealed that both at
the Philadelphia Navy Yard and at
Norfolk the civilian personnel has
reached the peak limit of $500 men
each. officials at those yards have been
pushing the department to permit them
to go above this mark Construction of
the new cruiser Minneapolis, at Phila-
delphia. and the modernization of the
battleships at Norfolk have brought
about the increased work there.

will be graduated. but under existing
conditions it is doubtful that many will
remain in the Navy, as Congress to date
has failed to provide commissions.
Existing vacancies in the line of
the Navy provide only commissions for
the star men of the class to be grad
uated this June. While a bill au-
thorizing the commissioning of the
midshipmen has passed the House of
Representatives, a decided fight is an
ticipated when the measure comes on
the floor of the Senate, where Senator
Millard E. Tydings, Democrat, and other
Marylanders will lead the fight to give
the graduating class commissions.
While opposition to the bill is voiced
on several grounds, the principal of
which is economy, there Is also a claim

that there aren't suficient ships IN
the Navy to accommodate the officers
If they are commissioned. Proponents
Of the measure expect to disprove this
angle
If the midshipmen are not commits
stoned they will receive nearly $4,000
and an honorable discharge. Some Con-
greSSmen hold that in view of the stu
dents being prepared for a profession
together with nearly $4,000 to aid
them in the quest of position
that they are not being treated badly,
Others hold that it would be fairer to
appoint fewer midshipmen, in fact, only
the number that can be commissioned.
Report is rife that the incoming plebe
class this Summer and Fall viii be
small.

NAVY YARD WORK
PROSPECTS BRIGHT
Acting Secretary Jahncke
Sees Improvement of
Conditions Here.

Optimism was registered today in an
announcement by the acting secretary
of the Navy, Ernest Lee Jahncke, that
slight pickup in work at the Wash
tngton Navy Yard is in prospect. This
condition prevails pretty generally over
the country at the various navy yards,
ne said. as the Navy has endeavored to
regulate its work load SO that it will be
stabilized as far as possible.
There are at present 1870 civil en-
ployeS at the Washington Navy Yard
There has been no limit set to the
nur1Jrr here as at some of the other
yards The acting secretary was un-
able to fix the exact number of addi-

On the basis of our previous generalizations

But you will note that each of these traits
important as they are, can be changed by the
individual; that all can, with care and deter
mination, be eliminated. That, as I see it, is
what makes the test Of supreme value to every
one especially to persons engaged in making
each day the contacts-the friendly contacts
upon which good business and success depend.
Now, examine some of these traits by way Of
Illustration. Look at the first question, which
asks, do you always do as you promise?"
No doubt every one has met persons who at first
seemed charming and likable, but who never
lived up to their promises, and were usually
making excuses for some dereliction in this re-
gard. In the business world, this trait is sure
to lead to trouble
Equally related to the business side of life Is
the hint in Question 9: do you avoid making
fun of others behind their backs?" The other
day. in connection with other work in psy-
chology, ran across "bull's-eye" example of
how this trait-that Of making fun of others
behind their backs-may shatter mans
friendships and his business success as well.
THE man in question was far above the
average in competence, training and per-
sonality. He was, too, genuinely hard worker,
with stellar record as an executive. An offer
came for him to assume charge of a manu-
featuring business in Western city.
The salary attractive, along with other
conditional awards and he accepted at once.
His new employers were as tickled as he because
they felt they had put over "ten strike" In
the personnel phase of their business
But in q short time the whole transaction
took the guise of blunder. The new ex-
ecutiye was disliked by his staff.
This more or less mysterious situation had
disrupted the general morale and cut down
the profits; something had to be done. Now,
oddly enough, it was the new man who finally
ferreted out the "nigger in the woodpile."
1t all traced back, he saw to his old love OF
making fun of folks behind their backs He
had considerable histrionic talent, and greatly
enjoyed telling tales about this fellows wild
explosion after a weird golf shot, or that ones
discontinue being caught In an office mis-
take. 1t had killed his popularity.

INCIDENTALLY, the personal test chart will
