CAPITAL GROUP OFF TO FEDERAL EkPL DYES CONVENTION
Hill Folk Fear
"MLuck" of
Blue Eagle

MARTIN URG, W.. Va.
When General johnson, NRA
head, selected the official Blue
Eagle emblem he overlooked
the superstitions Of many hill
dwellers of eastern Oklahoma.
The Rev. w. E. Rocket,
evangelist, who is conducting a
revival at Keyser, told a con-
gregation that the eagle is ac-
cepted as a spiritual mark
"of a beast that will descend
upon the world and destroy it,"
Johns description in the Book
of Revelations of the multi
headed beast that rose out of
the sea as he stood on the is
land of Patmos and saw the
prophecy of the next deStruc-
ton of mankind, is the basis
for this crude doctrine, the
minister said.

JOB CUTS RARE
IN j. S. HISTORY

Officials of the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees have
received from R. L. Yates, presi-
dent of Local Union No. 81, Tue
son, Ariz., an analysis showing
that Federal operations have pro-
duced a deficit for about a third
of the time the Government has
endured, and that in no prior
case have such drastic economy
measures been introduced, at the
expense of Federal personnel, as
in the present crisis.
The Government incurred de-
ficits in 48 of 145 years under
the Constitution, the first in.
stance being in 1892. There were
alternate surpluses and deficits
until 1901, thereafter a surplus
annually until 1909 brought a
deficit.
The War of 1912 put the coun-
try in the red again. condition
which continued until 1915.
The 1887 panic brought q
series of deficits. More trouble
appeared in the years 1847 to
1849, inclusive, the period of the
Mexican War. The Civil War
put the country deeply in debt.
Hard times again took their toll
from 1894 to 1900.
The World War brought great
expenditures, but in succeeding
years, up to 1880, ederal
revenues were sufficient to cut
down the debt from $4,000, ,00O,-
900 to about $4,000, ,000, 900.

ices or articles must be turned
down, Bryant says, because the
museum has no money with which
to purchase anything.
But correspondents continue to
try to sell anything from apples
to alligators, and questions on
the truthfulness of myths about
the hoop snake, the porcupine
throwing his quilts and deadli-
ness of garter snakes pour in
constantly.
Perhaps the most cantanker-
Gus correspondent he has struck
so far, adds Bryant, is the man
in New York State who sent in
a few grains Of minerals
enough to cover a finger nail
and asked that they be ana

NRA STAFF GUT
UNLIKELY HERE

Employees of the Department of
Commerce and the NRA found
much to interest them today in
an analysis of the address made
by Secretary of Commerce Dan
iel c. Roper before the Young
Democratic Clubs at Kansas City
last night.
Perhaps the most interesting of
his comments was that in which
he said revision of NRA codes
is likely to be q continuing
process-an indication that there
will be no sharp staff cuts at
the NRA for the present, and
possibly not at all.
His statement was the most
definite announcement of policy
he has made in several weeks,
and from it the conclusion may
reasonably be drawn that the De
partment of Commerce is more
likely to build up than suffer re-
ductions in the near future.
Consolidation of the Shipping
Board with his department, Roper
said, will enable the Administra-
tion to carry on a definite, CORE.
lated program for the merchant
marine.
He called attention to the SER
vices rendered by district offices
of the Bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce in acting as
NRA clearing houses, thus pre-
venting excessive work in Wash.
ington. In this connection he
spoke Of the likelihood that codes
would have to be subjected to con.
slant revision.

The man was told that his
samples were worthless quartz
and pyrites. However, he asked
that the pinches of sand be re-
turned.
When told that the process Of
analyzing them involved dipping
them in acid and melting them
over fires, so that the samples
were destroyed, the man grew
wrathful and threatened to take
the matter to higher suthori-
ties"
Even If the grains had been
solid gold, says Bryant, they
would not have been worth over
