lot, and 800 pounds of corn on light
pigs on pasture. On this basis if
corn was worth cent a pound, the
farmer could afford to pay at least
three cents a pound for good pro-
tein supplement with which to sup
plement his corn, because in addi-
tion to saving the corn, the protein
supplement will increase the rate Of
gain and place his hogs upon an
earlier market. Furthermore, the
feeding of a complete ration involv-
ing of course, the use of good pro-
tein supplement will maintain vigor
and vitality in his hogs and help
build general body resistance to
disease.
Under present conditions it will
certainly justify farmer to get out
his pencil and figure the desirable
ity of adding some good protein to
his farm grains.

SAVE CORN WITH SUPPLEMENTS
BY Prof. w. B. Krueck

Circular No. 1896 by the Univer-
sity of Illinois brings out some facts
relative to the production of pork
that should be of vital interest to
the hog producer at the present
time. Where light pigs were fed in
dry lot it required $50 pounds of
corn and Sc pounds of supplement
to produce 100 pounds of pork.
Where the same class of pigs were
fed ON pasture it required 345
pounds of corn and 20 pounds of
supplement to produce 100 pounds
of pork. This shows that there was
very little saving in the amount of
corn used when fed upon pasture.
However, the hogs did save practi-
cally fifty per cent of the supple

PRICELESS THINGS

These simple things love,
Any money cannot buy them;
White cloudlets in the sky above,
Tuberoses on a slender stem;
A pebbly brook that sings all day,
A snatch of song to drive my cares
away.
The roseate hues of eventide,
Cool water on my burning face;
A faithful dog close by my side,
Blue flowers in a yellow vase.
And this, SURPRISING all the rest
A baby's sleepy head against my
breast.

PLAN
Bic PARADE

A meeting will be held tonight
at the home of Sergeant Joseph
Bargagni, president of the Ma
tional Firemen'S Association, to
plan for the annual firemen's
parade, to be held in Washington
on Labor Day.
The parade this year was
threatened because of scarcity Of
funds. Sergeant Bargagni will
confer with Noble F. Rushe chief
of the Hyattsville fire depart
ment and vice president of the
national association, and other
officers, to discuss plans for rails
ing the necessary $4,000.
Rush said today the association
probably will solicit money from
Washington merchants who bene-
fit directly through sales made to
the thousands of visitors at the
firemen's Labor Day parade and
other activities.
If the merchants fail to help
them, the firemen themselves will
contribute the money, Rush said.
The association, he declared, is
determined to stage the annual
parade in any event.

P.U.C.REQUESTS
EXTENSION Of
GAS RATE GUT
Continuance to Sept. 80 Asked
Pending Completion of
Valuation Hearings

Extension of the temporary 812
per cent reduction in local gas
rates to September 80 has been
asked by the Public Utilities Com
mission, it was learned today.
The cut was made pending the
completion of valuation hearings
on the properties of the washing
ton and Georgetown Gas Light
Companies. These hearings, for
the purpose of fixing rates, will
open July 10.
The temporary reduction was
first ordered August /, 1882, and
has been extended once. Now
the commission is seeking a fur
ther extension to carry it beyond
the final fixing of the new rate.
Unless the cut is extended it will
not be effective after June 80,
with a resultant increase in gas
bills.
To date no reply has been re-
ceived from the gas companies,
but an answer is expected to be
filed with the commission before
June 30.

Girl Gets D. S.
Position By
Mistake

A unique way of getting a job
landed a pretty young stenogra-
pher in the Government service,
it was learned today.
The girl went to the Farm La
Dor Bureau to file an applica-
ton.
Confusion reigned everywhere.
Clerks rushed back and forth, ap-
plicants lined the corridors, desks
crowded the halls.
She was given an application
to fill out.
While she was sitting at a
desk doing this a man rushed
up, thrust some papers at her,
said:
"Here-take these letters"
So she worked all day. This
went on for two weeks.
When pay day came around
there was no check for her.
Investigation disclosed that she
had not even been hired. But
she got the job.

by the school board last night.
T. C. Williams, new superin-
tendent of schools, will aid in the
selection of new teachers chosen

The board issued an appeal for
all text books to be turned in to
the schools before July so that
the number of new books neces-
sary to carry out the rental plan
recently adopted can be ascer-
tanned. More than 10 per cent
of the books used last term have
been turned in by their owners.

After considering the various
departmental reports, the board
will prepare its recommendations
to submit to the District Com
missioners for their approval.
The board will have before it
four types of recommendations:
The abolition of positions now
vacant, to make the salary for
these jobs available for other
payroll uses; retirements of en-
ployes under the 30-year retire
ment act; outright dismissals,
and the use of rotative furloughs.
Officials hope, by use of the
furlough and abolition of vacant
positions. to keep retirements and
dismissals to a minimum, but it
is admitted there will be some
jobs lost in the reductions necc5-
sary to keep within authorized
expenditures.

OPTIMISM KEY
At CONCLAVE

With economic optimism" as
the keynote, 600 delegates to the
fifteenth annual convention of
Optimist international today rele-
gated "Old Man Depression" to
the limbo of forgotten things.
Letters and kilograms all pro-
claiming that "happy days are
here again. were read at the
opening session of the convention
which is being held at the May
flower Hotel.
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover was the featured speaker
on the morning program and in
a welcome address paid high
compliment to the new Admins
tration for it's efforts to end the
depression and characterized
President Roosevelt as "the great
est of optimists."
Rover broke a precedent when
instead of turning the keys of
the city over to the delegates he
rendered them the keys to the
District Jail.
Robert j. Sutherland, of Madi-
son, Wis, responded to the wei
come address, while Holmes A.
Sperb, past president of the or
ganization, led the annual me-
mortal services for departed COM
rades.
Appointment of convention
committees, an oratorical contest
featuring junior Optimists, and
reports of David w. Oman, inter-
national president, and Russell F..

BLANTON HOPES
To WIPE OUT
TRIAL BOARD
Texan Wants Police Affairs
Decided by Impartial
Group of Three

Legislation to abolish the police
trial board and appoint a District
board of discipline to try local
enforcement officers will be forced
at the next session of Congress,
Representative Thomas L. Blan-
ton CD of Texas said today.
In the recent session Blanton
introduced a measure to create
the discipline board, a pet hobby
of his for years, but the press OF
national legislation in the emer-
gency session persuaded him not
to seek action on the bill.
The bill would abolish the pres
ent trial board and create diSci-
pline board consisting of three
members, none of whom would
have had any previous connection
with the police department. They
would be appointed by the PreSi-
dent for a three-year term at sal
aries ranging from $4,000 to
$2,250, for the chairman.
Blanton's plan is to divorce the
discipline board from having po-
licemen in its membership. To-
day he said:
"It seems absurd to have pO-
licemen try their fellow officers
and expect an impartial verdice.
They are naturally biased and
1 do not believe it is possible
to obtain a fair decision when
one policeman sits in judgment
on another. Because of this 1
think the people of the District
should be willing to accept a
change in the present law"

BUT DEMOCRATS
LIKELY TO GET
JOBS BACK
Patronage in Public Works and
R.F.C. Certain; Call Sent
Out for Many Experts

While the axe swings vigor>
ously, if unostentatiously, in the
Federal establishments generally,
patronage seekers eagerly eyeing
possibilities in the new emergency
units began today to realize that
politics may not play quite as
strong a role as had been expected
in placements for some of these
agencies.
Every lawyer in the Internal
Revenue Bureau has been asked
to turn in his resignation-and
most of them have done so-ac-
cording to high authority.
The designations are on the
desk of General Counsel Pretty
man.
Home Loan Board
It is generally believed that all
members of the Democratic party,
in good standing, will be retained
after Mr.. Prettyman looks over
the designations before him.
The Home Loan Bank Board
will be a life-saver to hungry
Democrats and Democratic Or
ganizations, for it will provide
two pretty fair jobs for each
county, all the way down the
line. The Recontruction Finance
Corporation, which, though it
may be declining in popular
esteem, is nevertheless growing all
over the place, is taking on new
duties and consequently new
personnel.
A somewhat ironic undercur-
rent in respect to this outfit ap-
pears in the general impression
that while employees are being
ousted in line with economy"
they are being promptly replaced
with Democrats.
Wants Real Help
The principal shock to patron
age seekers today, however, came
in the announcement that the
Tennessee Valley Authority is
likely to be much more concerned
with obtaining qualified help than
with the political affiliations OF
the appointees
It was also indicated that
politics might play a relatively
small role in certain other or
ganizations, notably the Railroad
Coordination Office, where ex-
perts are particularly needed. In
general, the idea is beginning to
appear that a good many jobs in
the emergency organizations. if
they are to function at all sue

FOR JOBS
HEADED OFF
BY International News Service

by international news SeENlCO'
A member of Congress, goaded
by his inability to find jobs for ap-
pealing constituents, has forced
the industrial administration to
cease taking applications for posi-
tions they didn't intend to fill.
He is Representative Bulwinkle
CD of North Carolina, who visited
the offices and found long lines of
job-seekers patiently waiting to fill
applications. Said Bulwinkle:
81 asked the officer how many
jobs he expected to fill, and he
replied none.
"It seemed outrageous to be
taking applications for jobs that
did not exist and I went higher
up to find out about it. Now
the personnel officer has been
removed and a sign placed in
the hall saying no more applica-
tiOnS will be taken"
Bulwinkle said the farm credit
administration has 1000 applica-
tions and expects to fill but eight
of ten places in the near future.
