dents Council.

An individual study Of all Govern
ment workers will be undertaken with
view to analyzing the weak and
strong points of each employe so they
may be boosted along the ladder OF
success.
This developed today with an
nouncement by the Civil Service Com
mission that leading personnel men
in private business are cooperating
with Federal officials in plan to i'm
prove the Governments efficiency rat
ing system.
Definite steps in the program to help
the workers help themselves were

mittee of the Presidents Council Of

ministration at the Civil Service Com
mission, passing the following resolu-
ton:
The action of the United States
Civil Service Commission. with the
approval of the Council of Personnel
Administration. in deciding upon the
plan developed by DR.. O'Rourke for
changing the emphasis of the present
efficiency rating plan Of the Govern
ment and devoting the time and effort
of supervisors to bringing about better
supervision and making an analysis OF
the weak and the strong points OF
employees and assisting them to i'm
prove themselves and thus increase
the efficiency with which the work Is
performed, is approved by the COM
mittee as forward step in coed
business management"
The second step in the plan. which
also was approved, provides for a CO.
operative study by industry and Gov
ernment in order to make the work
incident to an analysis OF employees
qualifications an integral part Of per-
sonnel work. not merely for rating
purposes. but as a basis for improv-
ing supervision and training, for de-
veloping the employe and increasing
, the efficiency of the work itself. The
plan also will be carried out in in
dustry as far as possible.

CHEVY CHASE ASKS
LIQUOR SALE CURB
Favors Restriction to Off,
Sale of Light Wines and
Beer After Debate.

The Chevy Chase Citizens ASSocia-
tion last night went on record in favor
of restrictions on the sale of legalized
liquors within its territory.
AS originally offered, the motion
opposed the sale of any liquors, in
cluding beer, except prescription liquor
offered at drug stores. This eventu-
ally was amended, after brief discus
sion, to permit off-sales of light wines
and beer In event applications for
liquor permits are made contrary to
the position taken by the associa-
ton, however, it was voted to send a
representative before the Liquor Con-
troi Board to protest against the
granting of such a permit.
There was practically unanimous
agreement that drinking on the
premises should be banned in the
Chevy Chase territory, but when it
was proposed to prevent the sale of
liquor, even in package form, oppo-
sition arose Fears were expressed
that this restriction on personal lib
critics would have no effect and would
only tend to increase the prices on
liquor deliveries from other sections.
Trolley Service Scored.
The association reiterated its pro-
tests against the bus and traction
service in Washington generally as
well as in Chevy Chase. With the
opening up of the downtown Govern
ment triangle buildings, it was pointed
out by j. r. Manning, the congestion
on the cars will become worse. AS
chairman of the Public Utilities Com
mittee he said he had received so
or more suggestions for relieving con-
ditions, and proposed that the asso-
citation take up with the Public Util-
tiles Commission and other author
tiles recommendations for correcting
existing conditions
Edwin S. Hege, who presided in the
absence of President George E
Strong, pointed out that no public
utility in the District is able to put
on enough cars or busses to take care
of the peak of traffic so long as the
majority of Offices in Washington
open at am. and close at 4:3O
pm. He suggested. that the adoption
of staggered hours" in the morning
and late afternoon was the. only
remedy. Manning's motion to take
up the transportation situation with
the Public Utilities Commission was
approved.
Signs Approval Reported.
Manning also reported on a number
of traffic signs approved and disap-
proved by William A. Van Duzer. di-
rector of traffic, along certain thor
oughfares in Chevy Chase where
traffic accidents have occurred. Stop
signs will be placed on Quesada street
at the intersection with Broad Branch
road, on Northampton street at
Broad Branch road and on Thirty
second street at Broad Branch road.
The traffic director disapproved stop
signs on Mckinley street at the in
tersection of Nevada avenue and on
Thirty-second street at Nebraska ave-
nue..

HOW MANY ARE A FEW

s In a somewhat light vein the Chris
tian Science Monitor once asked and dis
cussed the question, "How Many Are a
Few" No conclusion was reached, as
there appeared to be. no definite authority
which might be cited to establish the
answer.
Later correspondent in Newark
called attention to the fact that small
Scotch boy had found the answerlong ago,
according to story which may be briefly
related thus:
The boy was entitled to "few apples
as a prize for memorizing more verses of
scripture than any other member of his
Sunday school class, whereupon the
teacher gave him three apples. The boy
demurred, asserting that he should have
eight apples. Pressed for his authority,
the lad triumphantly produced it from no
less source than Holy Writ, quoting /
Peter, third chapter, goth verse, which
says:
Few, that is. eight souls were saved
by water"
His contention being incontrovertible,
the boy got his eight apples. And, there
fore, If anyone should ask, "a few means
eight.
