peeled from the walls, bringing further
postponement.
The principal difficulty throughout
the project has been the water sup
ply. Several wells were sunk before
water began to flow in sufficient
quantities. Then it was found to be
murky and unfit for consumption, so a
filtration system was installed. It was
during the systems operation that the
well went dry.
Lack OF Funds.
Lack Of funds for procurement of
necessary equipment also entered into
the difficulties faced by welfare off,
cials.
Despite the disappointment caused
by the well failure, District officials
take the view that perhaps it was for
tunate, since the cost of laying the
water connection will not be great over
a period of years and worry over an
adequate supply will be entirely elm
mated.

OKLAHOMA CITY, September S.
A real-life horror story was unfolded
today as Mrs. A. w. Gott, wealthy,
parelyzed widow, recuperated at her
home from an attack by thousands of
fierce red ants which advanced upon
her bed. .e
The helpless woman suffered under
the ants for two and half hours be-
fore her screams attracted a neigh
bor, Pat McGrew, and night watch
man, L. M Corbstt. When they res
cued her she was unconscious, her
eyes swollen shut.
McGrew said he heard screams
shortly after 10 o'clock. Unable to
decide whether they were the screams
of human or the cries of an animal,
he listened for an hour before he was
convinced some one was in misery.
He arose and walked about the neigh
borhood, but after hearing nothing,
retired.

HOOVER APPEALS
FOR AID TO NEEDY
Ex-PreSident Terms Present
Years of Great Test"
in Chest Plea.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. September s.
Characterizing the present as the
years Of great test" former Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover appealed here
today for open-hearted giving to the
needy.
In these days when so many think
to rid humanity of its faults by dis
card also of its hard-won virtues
he said. 1T is strengthening to see
this great group intent upon resolute
organization to maintain the high
virtue of charity"
While the former national Chief
Executive addressed a Joint meeting
Of IS local service clubs in launching
the Community Chest drive here, his
appeal was not to Los Angeles alone.
The program was broadcast over both
national radio chains.
Years Of Great Test.
These are times when the need is
greater and when giving is more diff
flcult," Mr. Hoover continued. They
are the years of great test They
are times which summon devotion and
sacrifice. I"
I'VE must recognize that in this last
half century We have herded 5O,0OO.-
600 human beings into towns and cities,
where the whole setting is new and
unaccuStomed to our race.
I'VE have created these congested
areas, with their thousand restrictions
upon human life. through our swift
transition of an agricultural people
to an urban industrial Nation. We
thereby have lessened those acquaint-
anceS, friendships and obligations of
neighbors. Many Of us are strangers
to the house next door.
That relation of country neighbors
Is lost wherein you borrowed two eggs
and a pint Of sugar, and lent q hand
at raising his roof; where your neigh
bors nursed your sick and took to
their firesides the orphan and the
destitute. But more, we have lessened
that character building which comes
not only from responsibility to the
neighbor in life and death, but from
family intimacy, from adventure of
children in the fields and the brooks
and the freedom Of space.
Help Now Is Important.
"a kindly clinic, a cheerful hos
pital, good home for the homeless
children, must provide the makings
OF physical stamina in many of your
future citizens. But beyond even
this, one Boy Scout or Girl Scout
troop, or one good community nurse
today will prevent more evil 10 years
hence than 10 policemen.
"A great reward accrues to you in
the consciousness of something done
unselfshly to tighten the burden of
children, to set their feet upon surer
paths to health, independence and
happiness: without you, young lives
may be warped. 1t is through you
that thousands must receive a fair
chance in life.
Chest Defense Unneeded.
The Community Chest as a method
of organization, Mr.. Hoover said. nc
longer requires either explanation or
defense.
1T Is a mobilization and concen-
tration of effort that has demonstrated
its worth over years in all our great
cities" he declared. 1T has proved
its value in more effective support and
wiser administration Of those hun
dredS of institutions which are so
necessary a part of community
life.
Thousands Of families who are not
reached by official agencies in these
times are dependent upon you"

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Jobless Democrats Raise
Rumpus Over Slim
Pork Barrel.
BY PAUL MALLON.

A FTER sll the blesting that
~ has been going on about New
~ Deal patronage, a check-up
4 4 on the administration is in
order.
Hordes of jobless Democrats are
emitting familiar sounds because, they
contend, they are not getting their
share of the political spoils. The
Farley crowd has notably been racked
with hunger pains because the various
departments have not opened up the
old pork barrel.
Yet no announcement has eper
been made about how many new
men hare been put in by the NeU
Dealers, or hotO many old ones haze
been retained. You Cdn be sure
no announcement on that subject
Diu euer be made. It's dynamite.
There is way, however, for an in
quisitive non-partisan to get a line
on it. That is by comparing the last
departmental directory of the Hoover
regime January, 1892 with the latest
directory of the New Dealers MAY,
l934. The results are surprising.
Evening star., 1934-09-05
The rough check shows:
Employees
Question of Efficiency.

Question of Efficiency.
This may not be very pleasing to
jobless Democrats, but admirers Of
efficiency may commend it.
It seems to be a halfway approx
nation of the desirable British system
The British change only the heads Of
departments when administrations
change. Nearly all cabinet assistants
are career men. When Premier Mac
Donald brought his debt delegation
over here a few years ago every one
in 1T was a career man.
That giveS the Government
trained employees and a higher type
OF employe. 1t encourages young
men to adopt the Government as a
career and keeps incompetent poll
ticdl appointees out. Secondary
OFFICIALS usually do most OF the
work dnylDdy. II they were all re-
leased tDhen administrations change
the result Uould be chaos.
The best American authority on Far
Eastern war talk expressed some views
of the record the other day.
He sees no immediate danger Of the
United States becoming involved be-
tween Japan and Russia. The main
trouble is the excited state Of the
japanese mind. Some of their Zan-
garas would think nothing of scuttling
a couple of our ships If they happened
to be in that mood. Hence no one can
say what the japanese will do.

to be Ionient.
He did say this:

will be lenient in enforcing the clos

Lenlency also will be the keynote
Of the police attention to public
dances. Police matrons will be as
signed as usual to public dances and
night clubs where dancing is per-
mitted.
Chief MOrrissey said extra police
will be drawn from the two day
shifts for the New Years eve force.
They will be placed at the larger
clubs and gathering places with in
structiOnS to prevent disorders and
'use your head"
Policemen will not be permitted
to take the free hard drinks usu-
ally offered them in abundance.
They also will not. be required to
work twelve hours as they were
forced to do under prohibition con-
ditiOns, when they watched for hip
TASKS and bottles hidden under
table cloths.
Chief MOrriSsey was particularly
emphatic about drunken drivers.
we want to be reasonable about
this New Years celebration" the
Chief said, but we expect the pub
lie also to be reasonable"
He said police would be ordered
to keep a sharp eye out for drunken
drivers and to forget the spirit of
New Years Eve when they see one.
