Good Evening.
DREAMERS

Soldiers citizens of deaths grey land. Drawing dividends from times tomorrows In the great hour of destiny they stand. Each with his feuds. and jealouSeS. and sorrows Soldiers sworn to action; they must win Some flaming fatal climax with their lives Soldiers are dreamers; when the guns begin They think of firelit homes clean beds and wives. l see them in foul dug outs, gnawed by rats, And in the ruined trenches lashed with rain, Dreaming of things they did with balls and hats And moeked by hopeless longing regain Bank holidays, and picure-shows and spats And going to the office in the train.

RAT RULE FIGHT.
LOOMS ANEW
ON CAMPUS
Sophs and Frosh at College
Park Baked by Police in
BIaCk-Eye Opener

Freshmen and sophomores at
the University of Maryland last
night began open warfare over
the issue of which class is to
obey "rat rules" on the campus
for the remainder of the year.
Last nights alteration, stopped
by State police, was not broken
up before a number Of black
eyes, bruises and bumps had been
suffered by participants.
Tonight Holds Menace
1t apparently was the forerun-
ner of a controversy of a big
gers and better" class war, and
tonight-Halloween night-any'
thing may happen.
The first step in the affair
was a statement authorized by
defiant freshmen class members
appearing in the Diamonback,
students weekly publication, as
serting that since the sophomores
had neglected their duty in en-
forcing the "rat rules" against
the freshmen, the freshmen in
tend to make the sophomores
observe the "rat rules"
Police Interference
Last night freshmen swarmed
in front of a sophomore dormi-
tory and called the sophomores
out.
This was just too much for
the "dignified" sophs, who came
out. grabbed couple of fresh
men, made one make a speech
and then padded him when that
freshman hurled defiance at the
soph class.
Then the tussle ensued, but
State Policeman Lewis inter-
fered and the nights engage
ment was over.

men A. Trail as Sheriff's jury,

"Of unsOund mind and a lu-
natic, without lucid intervals,
so that he is not capable of the
government of himself or the
management of his estate"
This verdict was the result of
testimony presented by four
psychiatristS who studied Nc
Leans case and the contentious
of A. Mitchell Palmer, who repre-
Sented Mrs. Mclean.

WOMEN REBEL
At PAUC|TY
Of 'PLUMS'
Deserving Female Members
of Party Feel Rewards
Are insufficient
BY JULIA A. BONWIT

Democratic women in all cor
ners of the United States ap-
peared today on the brink of a
fight with the Administration over
the question of patronage for
women of the party.
RumbIings of the battle are
echoing in Washington as women
throughout the country are COM
planning of the Administrations
failure to recognize the many
women who have served the party
for years.
"NOt Compensated"
Although it has been pointed
out on numerous occasions that
President Roosevelt has made
some unprecedented appointments
for women, it is also claimed that
these appointments do not COM
pensate for the many women who
have failed of recognition.
Many women point out that al
though the President made a
woman a member of the Cabinet,
sent another abroad as United
States Minister and made a third
Director of the Mint, he has not
opened up jobs for women on any
of the Federal commissions.
The only two major commits
sions on which women are serving
are the Civil Service Commis-
sion and the Federal Employees
Compensation Commission, and
these. it is explained, are hold
overs from other Administrations.
Women Irate
The women are irate, in many
instances, over appointment of
Republicans to big jobs in the
Government.
There are many vacancies now
on which the women are turning
G4lclI dGCC1AG1OIl AlOUdOAy, CAAC 0OoAO
of Parole, the Tariff Commission,
Federal Radio Commission and
posts of assistants to the United
States Attorney for District of
Columbia.
With the pending battle grow
ing out of States in the North,
West and Midwest, one of the
sorest points is the fact that very
few women have been appointed
from the South.

POTOMAC DAMS
ASKED Of U.s..

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Oct. 81.
A Federal grant will probably be
asked for the construction of a
dam, or dams, in the north branch
branch of the Potomac River to
more evenly regulate the flow of
the Potomac, it was learned here
today through an engineering
firm.
The dams would be constructed
in the north branch above Cum
berland to raise the low water
flow during dry seasons. The
State department of health is in
terested in the project, which
would eliminate much of the
pollution in the Potomac from
Cumberland and large plants in
that section.

President Called On
To Cancel AGE Rule

President Roosevelt today was
urged to come to the aid of per-
sons over 40 years of age who,
by Civil Service Commission rul-
ing announced yesterday, are to
be barred from taking Civil Serv-
ice examinations.
The Chief Executive was re-
queSted, in a letter written by
Representative John j. Coch-
ran CD of Missouri, chairman
of the House Committee on ex-
penditures in executive depart
ments, to discuss the matter with
members of his cabinet.
Held Economy Move
The commission announced it
was making the ruling as an
economy measure on the advice
of heads of departments and of
independent offices, but, the
Missouri Representative pointed
out in his letter to the President,
If the Government lays down
such a policy it can be expected
that private industry will do the
same thing.
He asserted that such a situa-
tion would force the Government
to establish an old-age pension sys-
tenn for persons above 40. The
Missourian added:
81 am writing to the President
today asking him to take this
matter up with members of his
Cabinet. l think this is of such
Importance that Cabinet officers
should take the responsibility. 1
do not think it should be left to
the appOintive officers and bu.
reau chiefs to decide on a policy
Of as great national importance
Is this.
CONGRESS CAN ACT
81 feel that as long as a man
or woman is mentally and phySi-
cally fit, he should be given
equal opportunity to obtain en-
plOyment, no matter if he is
so or perhaps so years old"
Mr.. Cochran pointed out that it
Is possible for Congress to amend
existing statutes dealing with the
Civil Service SO as to set definite
age limits for persons desiring to
take Civil Service examinations.
A. F. of L. Protests Forecast
Indications were strong today
that the American Federation of
Labor would make a vigorous pro-
test against the action of the Civil
Service Commission in barring
from ordinary examinations per-
sons past 40.
The commissions action is in
direct opposition to stand taken
by the federation at it's recent
convention against discrimination
Of older workers.
