STRINGENT TESTS
AIM Of VAN DUzER
Traffic Head Asks Funds
for Extra Examiner
and Clerks.

Applicants for drivers permits will
have to pass more stringent examina.
lions after next July II approval
Is given a request by Trafic Director
William A. Van Duzer for employment
81 an additional examiner.
Salary for the extra worker Is asked
by Van Duzer In the 1896 estimates
Tor his department, which were made
public today.
"Unquestionably, the District has
been very lax in not giving more
thorough examinations for drivers
permits" Van Duzer told the Com
missioners, land 1t Is the desire Of
this ONCE that an additional exam-
liner be assigned In order to make
examinations more stringent"
Seeks More Lights.
The trafic director also asked for
m increase in the appropriation for
purchase and installation of auto
matte trafic signal lights, purchase
of trafic signs, painting Of trafic
lines and other mechanical services.
He seeks for this purpose $50, 200, as
compared with liza.
For the purchase of automobile
tags the department seeks an appro-
priation of $25, ZOO, as against $40, 900
for this year. The tags are made
ut the District Reformatory at Lor-
ton, Va.
Van Duzer seeks the employment
Of nine additional workers for his
20 fv.altrAiv%n IA NV iy,a fnr
permits. Among others sought are
an additional clerk for the record
division, an additional stenographer
TO handle the correspondence of traf-
&c oficials, clerk for the permit
examination section, q clerk to handle
changes in addresses of automobile
drivers, two clerks and q typist for
the automobile title section and an
assistant tag clerk.
More Help Necessary.
The work of the department has
increased to such an extent in recent
years that 1t Is impossible to keep
files In ed1cient shape while handling
the mass OF current work with the
present stan, he declared.
For instance, he declared, when
the Police Department handled per-
init examination work seven police
men were assigned to it. The Trafic
Department has but four workers.
For salaries Of his department, Van
Duzer seeks an appropriation Of
$87 ,220, as compared with $63,144
for this year. This includes the re-
quested additional positions, restora-
tion Of salaries to the 100 per cent
basis and sum Of 5000 for tempo
rary help for handing renewal Of
drivers permits.

"No STEP" he said. "in the recovery
program Of the United States has

Britain's abandonment in 1881 Of its

Ambassador Bingham also men
toned Great Britain's abandonment
Of the gold standard in 1881, followed
by establishment of an exchange
stabilization fund, with America fol-
lowing both cases some two years
later.
Discussing the British dole, the Am

gether probable that, confronted like
yourselves with chronic condition OF
unemployment for at least a number
of our population, our Government
will take measures to cope with it
along lines adopted here q quarter OF

The fact that powers granted the
American President are all limited in

oil price from 81 to 60 cents a barrel
by the Atlas Pipe Line Co. OF Shreve-
port, La, but declined to comment.
He added he was surprised" to hear
that at Fort Worth, Tex, an order for
q complete shutdown Of the oil fields
was being prepared by the Texas Rail
road Commission "for use In the event
Of an emergency" TO curb production.
He said he believed a shutdown OF
all the Texas fields might be good
thing"
Declaring that "the peaceful revo-
luton that occurred in November OF
1882 was as inevitable as 1t was long
overdue" Ickes said in his address
last night that "if we will but keep
faith it will be our privilege to carve
out a new social order founded upon
justice and fair dealings and the full
est possible liberty for the individual"
Speaking before an assembly at the
Temple Beth El, Ickes, tracing what
he termed the development Of a group
of ruthless, aggressive and almost
totally conscienceless men," who not
only exploited natural resources but

|HE steel shaft has won another
victory in golf.
Not entirely weaned away
from his beloved wooden
shafts, Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase,
the only pro around Washington who
has not yet gone for steel even as an
experiment, Is to leave for Florida to-
night, taking with him a couple of
drivers with new steel shaft, a shaft
that some predict may be the sensa-
ton of 1885.
Never before has a Barnett golf
bag included a steel-shafted driver,
for red-headed Robert is the last of
the old wooden shaft guard-a man
who has resisted to the full the in
roads of the steel shafts
Freddie Mcleod, another of the old
guard, has had full set of steel and
has played with these changing i'm
plements.
Al Houghton, Roland Mackenzie,
George Diffenbaugh. the Cunningham
boys, AL Treder, Cliff Spencer, and
even Davie Thomson over at Wash
ington all either are welded to steel
or have experimental with steel
shafts Barnett alone has remained
aloof, the only man who hasn't even
played a round of golf with steel
shafts.
The picture is changing now. how
ever. Bob always has claimed that
you cannot do the things with steel
that you can do with wood-wide,
sweeping hooks, for example, and con-
trolled cut shots and other things
that enter into the nomenclature of
the expert golfer. But now steel
shaft has come along that has the
feel, he says, in the right place, which
is just under the grip. And Robert
has had couple of drivers made up
with this new shaft.
Remember when we didn't have
anything but hickory" he says, "and
how when we wanted to put a little
more feel in the club we scraped the
shaft down just under the grip. Well
that is what this new steel shaft has
done. 1t has placed the feel just
under the grip. I don't know about
it in play, for I haven't tried it yet,
but it does feel good and it smacks
the ball long way, so Ross Thomp-
son says"
So we wonder if steel finally is to
make a convert in the one man who
has remained steadfastly with wood
shafts. We predict it will not, and when
Bob comes back from Miami Beach
next April he still will be using a set
of wooden shafted golf clubs. Any
man who has the control the Barnett
man has with wood doesn't need steel

Knows His Norsemen.

"HEN Bernie Bierman came back
to Minnesota. Bernie Bierman
was a star on DR.. Harry Williams
great teams of 20 years ago. After
graduating from Minnesota, Bierman
coached successfully in many sectors
and when called back to his home
campus, he was master of foot ball
strategy and technique. More impor-
tant still, Bierman had keen knowl-
edge of the Morse temperament of his
prospective players.
Three years ago, Bierman began the
transition of Minnesota foot ball from
just power to speed, deception and
power. He found excellent, intelli-
gent material awaiting his coaching.
Minnesota players no longer were
merely big, they were big and smart.
Bierman's progress was rapid. In his
second year, his team did not lose a
game but tied four. This season with
power, speed and intelligence at his
command. he has nodded foot ball
masterpiece.
So the success of this years team is
based upon fine, natural material,
splendid coaching and grand spirit.
SO even is the flow of Minnesota's foot
ball material that, with Bierman's
coaching system well grounded, the
Gophers will continue to be a cham
pionship challenger with very few
lapses. The big Ten" is the strongest
foot ball group in . the country and
competition SO keen that no one uni
versity can monopolize its champion
shins Rut Minnesota never should be
very far away from the top at any
time. There's nothing very unusual
about Minnesota's success this year.
Just a lot of Minnesota boys playing
foot ball for an old Minnesota star but
playing it with the same spirit that
sent Eric Bluetooth raiding out of
Northern fjords and Lief the Lucky
sailing across the Western Ocean.

TINE University Of Maryland
was without a foot ball
mascot when it moved into
battle today with George
town, and thereby hangs a tragedy.
Mr.. Terp is dead.
In case you didn't know, Mr..
Terp was a 100-year-old turtle,
weighing close to 100 pounds. cap
tured a month ago in the Lower
Potomac by Elmer Hopkins of
Kensington.
Almost on the eve of the big
gridiron scrap in which he was to
have made his debut as mascot, the
old boy kicked the bucket.
What caused his demise Is not
clear. It may have been pneu-
monia, for Mr.. Terp, whose home
for several weeks has been a small
