"A persistent correspondent urges us to commission 10000 men, ut $l,000 q year each, to eliminate snakes from this country The cost of these modern St Patricks would be modest $l0,0o0,000 a year.
 "of all tho ideas for spending money, tho most original came from a prominent mathematician, who suggested that we set aside S100, 000,000 to finance q round- trip passenger. carrying rocket to the moon.
 "But 1t is in awarding funds to the various states, as well as In apportioning new public buildings among various localities. that VIC are finding the greatest pressure brought upon us.
 Ever since the days when an- clent Rome built 'her wonderful roads, drainage canals, and aque- ducts, there have been attempts to use public works for public plum der. In America a public works system has often been justly called a pork barrel system. By this system each congressman tried tc get as large an appropriation for his own district as possible, with out regard to whether the build. ings, harbors. or river improve. ments were really necessary or de- slrable. No legislator dared to ob' ject to the wasteful items of his colleagues for fear of imperiling his own share of the gravy. Re- search men say that in the past n god half of our public works ap- proprlations has been wasted In this way.
 "In recent years check has been put on such practices by TO- quiring approval of a project by army engineers or the head of the federal department involved. But the essential evil of the pork bar rel, which consists of basing local appropriations for federal public works on temporary or political advantage. instead of considering permanent national utility, re- mained until the dawn of the pres- ent public works program which was approved June 16th last. It is the greatest public works plan ever attempted.
 The idea back or this act, new in our national policy. is that Con- gress appropriate a lump sum and turn it over to the president, who. through q public works admins tration, may spend 1t according to a national need and a national plan.
 This change is a revolutionary one. It is in line with what stu dents of government have been urging for years. Whether we shall stick to the new policy in the future. or return to the pork bar rel. depends upon how honestly. impartially. and ably the present fund is administered.
 But the new policy does not change human nature. The appe- tite for pork. pampercd for cen- tury. cannot be legislated out of existence by an act of Congress.

Pork Barrel Money
 Barred Says Lckes
"Check and Double Check" System to Be Used to
 Squeeze Out the Grab.Bag Boys

Washington. Sept ?0.-There's to bo no pork barrel money in the S3,300,000,000 public works expen- allure, declares Secretary of the Interior Harold l.. 1ckes in q signed statement in the American Magazine.
 There's going to be "check and double check" system that's going to squeeze out all the old fashioned grab bag boys, and even the ad- ministrative expenses are going to be kept down to "a fraction of one per cont'
 Hero are a few of Secretary Ickes's pertinent observations on tho subject;
 Every citizen has the right to ask whether these SS,300,O00,0OO constitute q pork barrel Are pow. erful local politicians to be allowed to build postoifices in crossroads villages? Are democrats to be preferred to republicans Are con tracts to bo shot through with graft and proiiteering
 "I can answer simply by saying that If the president had intended to use this money for partisan pur- poses he would have permitted Congress to apportion it In the public works bill according to tho old system. And he would not have approved the elaborate sys" tom of safeguards which We have thrown around our spending plan to minimize waste, graft, and po- litical influence.
 "These safeguards have already proved invaluable in withstanding the deluge of pleas for funds which have descended upon us from in- dividuals and communities ever since l took office as administrator. Huge as the appropriation is, If we were to act without investigation upon all the suggestions and re- quests that have been made to us, we could allot it all in one month. The pressure from local commun- ities is tremendous. Delegations Of politicians, business men, contrac- tors, and leading citizens have laid siege to our offices in person, by mail, by telegraph and by tele- phone. Among the pleas for spe- cial favors which we have received, one of the most curious has been the attempt of certain private busi- nesses to snuggle under the wing of the public works benefits on the pretext that theirs is a municipal project. It usually takes this form:
 "A delegation comes in and says: We represent the city of Soandso. Our city wants to build a tobacco Cor cheese, or lumber, or candy) factory It will give work to our unemployed and be fine thing for the city
 "We ask: Does the city itself in- tend to operate this factory?'
 Then there is a pause. 'No.' says the leader of the delegation. The city intends to lease it out to some experts qualified in that busi- ness
 'Of course, we have no authority to lend for such purposes.
 "In one large city the aldermen sat down one afternoon to decide what their city needed from the public works fund. Each solon put forward his pet project. When they added up the total they found that they must have $i2O.O00.O0 right away. This is a sample of the gen erous ideas which prevail among many local politicians.

In The Local Theaters
 PALACE !

"Katharine Hepburn" has proved herself that rarest of all things, an actress of great quality, LOW fea- tured in "Morning Glory" the pic- ture that pleased thousands of theatergoers who witnessed the first showings yesterday ntsthe Pal- ace. Miss Hepburn proved herself that almost non-existent thing, Q comedienne of, great attainment. Her comedy is timed to an exquis- ite nicety. Her rhythm is some thing to remember. Her boise is as ecstatic and certain as that oi a bird about to take flight from Q too-slender bough. She has light behind those long level eyes such light as you seldom, see in life. And when the occasion calls, she has an emotional tide which floods out across the geometric beauty of that face in satisfying fullness. comically. heartbreakingly all be- about Q girls gallant struggle for success Oh the Now York stage, and her final triumph after bitter appointments and cruel cxperi- ences. ye
 "Morning Glory" can fittingly be described as an epic of devotion to an ideal and unselfish love. The girl could just as easily have been fighting to win success as a writer or an artist. It Is around her strug. gle and unique love triangle that the interest centers, and Miss Hep- burn again proves her right to con- stderation as one of the greatest stars of screen history.
 Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. co-starred with Miss Hepburn, gives tremen- dously sympathetic and effective characterization as young play wright who believes in the girl, champions Ter when her prospects are darkest, and teaches her the meaning of idealistic love.
 Adolphe Mcnjou is at his poll ished best as a debonair and force- full theatrical producer.
 In addition to this screen hit tho usual short subjects arc shown, comedy, Lad and His Lamp. Mickey Mouse and Movietone News.

 ."The trouble Is that Holly wood has entirely the wrong conception of sex appeal" this lady states. Attractive women don't go around with that sort of a label on them.
