Since inception of tho civil works program, money has been poured from the vaults of the gov ernment at the rate of more than $50, ,OOO, ,00O a week. At one time, the government was financing the CWA at the rate of $60.000,O0Q weekly, with state and local sources providing an additional $15,O0O.0O0 8 week.
 When he was advised by the Veterans Bureau, administrators of the .$40O, 900, 900 CWA fund, that money was being expended at rate in excess of expectations. Hopkins ordered Q reduction in tho work week in both rural and urban areas. Also, to conserve the now depleted fund, Hopkins adopted a policy which resulted in centralization of purchases of ma terials for CWA projects.

A brilliant success was scored at Buckingham hall last night in the presentation of the Immaculate Conception Mardi Gras revue and dance before Q crowd of more than 1900.

The cast of more than 200 was composed of members of St. Mary's Girls club, talented youngsters from St. Mary's school, and number of outside stars.
 Especially. remarkable during the nights performance was the work of the juvenile choruses directed by Miss Helen Sullivan. The sev. eral groups which formed stage units all showed patient and pains taking drilling. putting on their routines In an almost professional fashion. Performing against q coiorful blue and white stage back ground, the St. Mary's girls, rang ing from tots to undergraduates, presented several excellent en- sembles, among them Valentine dance, an Irish folk dance, a gypsy dance and others.
 Also enjoyable was the work of the St. Marys Girls club chorus. veteran revue unit. They were es-

pecially good in a military drill Perhaps the biggest hit of the night was scored by the two juye- nile favorites, Peggy Mccormack and Bobby Scannell, who joined
 forces to present an eccentric "rube" dance, which received sev. eral encoreg. The pair also per- formed notable individually, Bobby in his trap drum speciality, and Peggy in her speciality dance. Also extremely well-received were the McKenna brothers, in a tap dance speciality; Alice Maher in song and dance offering: Yer. onica Diorio in difficult toe dance. and Betty Bowes in dance spec iafty.
 A vocal number by Helen Heffer- nan served to open the show after the initial chorus. Dance specialties were performed by Betty Donahuc, Betty Bowes and Eleanor Calvin.

BOARD DISCUSSES MEMBERS QUERIES Filling Vacancies Among WOrkmen Explained
 Transfers Made {

Questions of Commissioner Ger trude Bowes and Louis Bria at yes- terday's meeting of the board of education brought forth from President John Walsh and Build- ing Inspector John White the l'statement that time of service and | fitness in the school department Is | the basis used in filling Vacancies among workmen.
 The inquiries came after a num- Der of transfers of school depart ment panitors and fremen had | been approved. Commissioner Bowes then asked the chairman | why John Altieri, q carpenter, had not been reappointed while a man named Reilly had been given more work this year. President Walsh said that Reilly had been with the department longer and hence given the preference. Altieri, he said, had been employed last year as one of a group hired under special appropriation of $6,000, for re- pairs, and there is no such sum 1 available this year.
 In answer to 6 question of Com missioner Bria's as to the possibil- ity of giving partial employment to those on the janitors waiting list, President Walsh stated that the cutting of the salary item in the department budget made such I 8 step impossible.
