few men in power were on hand

Figures for Arlington
Nearly QuadrupIe
Those of 1884

Building activity In the Dis
trict and neighboring counties
Of Maryland and Virginia has
doubled, tripled. and, in one
case, quadrupled over 1884, it
was revealed today in a survey
Of figures for the first 10 months
Of the two years.
In the District Of Columbia,
1,948 permits for new structures
have been issued since January
l. 1885, as compared with 835
for the first 10 months of 1884
and 1850 for the entire year
1884.
A further criterion Of increased
building activity in the District is
found in the figures for the past
month as compared with October,
1884.
Permits Here Doubled
A total Of 215 building per,
mits for new structures, involv-
ing an outlay Of $1,645, $50, were
issued in october Of this year.
In October, 1884, 1O8 building per-
mitS for new structures were is
sued, involving an expenditure of
$sOS,64O.
In Arlington county, building
activity during the first 10
months of this year has prac-
tically quadrupled over the &C.
tivity for the same period last
year.
Permits for S42 buildings have
been issued so far this year in
Arlington county as compared to
lit for the same period last year.
The construction outlay this year
is $5,631,114 compared to seas, 900
last year.
Montgomery Takes Jump
Montgomery county, Md, is
only slightly behind Arlington
county in its increased building
activity. Figures show that build
ing in. this county has tripled
over last year.
during the I1rSG 10 months OF
this year, 1,270 permits were is
sued and $4,502, $50 was expended
for construction. During the cor.
responding period last year, All

These figures exclude the inde-
pendent towns, such as Takoma
Park and Rockville, but these
municipalities show q similar in
crease.
Comparable gains are reported
also from Prince Georges county.

Charge Brain Trust Is
Invading U. S. Ranks
Holly Contested

Has the Brain Trust invaded
the rank-and-file divisions of the
Government service?
No, no! A thousand times no,
say the big-wigs in various Gov
ernment departments!
In answer to charges by E.
Claude Babcock, president of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, that college men
are getting all the breaks in OBJ
tanning Government positions,
high Government officials said it
wasn't so-abSolutely not.
OF course, they pointed out,
there are certain technical posi-
tions which require college train
ing. For instance, it was re-
marked, a man without special
lied chemistry training would
wreak havoc if he were put in e
laboratory.
Policy Explained
But as for giving jobs to col.
lege men when an experienced
non-college man would do just
as well-no, no, that's not so.
"It's the policy of the Treas
ury Department always to ad.
vance people from within the de-
partment," William H. Nc
Reynolds, administrative assist
ant to Secretary Morgenthau,
said. 1--WE feel it builds up morale
and makes for greater efficiency.
"On the other hand, however,
we do feel that the better
trained a man is the better work
he will produce. We are delighted
to have college men work in the
department. But there is ahso-
lutely no discrimination.
"The regular activities Of the
Treasury Department are almost
entirely civil service.
THE men in our legal and
finance offices must, Of necessity,
be college-trained."
The Civil Service Commission
also wanted to be heard. A state
ment coming from the commits
sion as a whole made it known
that institutional training Is, of
course, necessary for most posi-.
tions in the professional and
scientific grades and, generally
speaking, the commission re-
quireS such training as a pre-
requisite for examination for
such positions"
But, as for the charges of
discrimination, the commission,
although appreciating and rec
ognizing the advantages of insti-
tutional educational training, en-
deavors not to discriminate
against the individual who, for
reasons beyond his control, has
been denied the educational op-
portunities enjoyed by Others"
In connection with the criticism
Of the Civil Service examinations.
the commission said:
"It will be appreciated, of
course, that examination proceed
ure is still not an exact science.
The commission is constantly en-
deavoring to improve its exam
ination procedure and has a re-
search division created by Con-
gress for that purpose"
Suggestions Invited
The commission invited sugges-
ions "of a practical nature" from
the American Federation of La
Dor, or ANY other responsible
source"
DR.. A. F.. Woods, principal path
ologist of the Bureau Of Plant
Industry in the Department of
Agriculture, who directs the grad
uate school of the department,
said it was his observation that
"there is no favoritiSm shown"
Its merely a question of eff
ciency," he said. "A college man
is likely to be more efficient, but
experience sometimes enables
others to qualify equally as we'll"

Manual Squads Play
FuU-Time Contest

Yesterday afternoon Coach Harry
Painter at Manual tested the re-
suits of his experimenting of the last
week in a full-time regulation game
between two "hand-picked' teams.
The probably varsity and the
permanent number of their jerseys
follow: Left end, Schwomeyer, s;
left tackle, SCHNEIDER, II; left guard,
Cohen, 7; center, Lewis, 4; right
guard, Faccone, 10; right tackle,
Hutton, !; right end, j. Hansing,
IA; quarter, Cristina, 20; full,
Smith, 5; left half, Ellis, 8; right
half, Hiatt, 10.
Smith. Schwomeyer and Hiatt
starred in the scrimmage, in which
the regular varsity piled up a 1910
advantage in the first half before
subStitutions became profuse.

games.
Coach Harry Kipke's team is
bound to be improved, but SO are
all the others in the league.
Losing football games is a new
experience for Michigan, where
championship teams are the rule
rather than the exception.
The Wolverines got panicky after
failing to win their early games
last year and were badly democrat
lied when the season ended. If
that same attitude prevails this
year even the most loyal Maize and
Blue supporters fOresee disaster.
Face Tough Schedule
Michigan has one of the hard
est schedules in the Conference
and is the only team besides North
western which plays both Minnesota
and Ohio State.
Fourteen lettermen and IS re-
serves reported to Coach Kipke
for the opening practice but the
burden of regaining Michigan's
lost prestige probably will fall on
the 25 sophomores who turned out.
Captain Bill Renner, a superb
passer who was kept out of compe-
tition in 1884 with injuries, will di-
rect the team Cedric Sweet is back
at full and has an efficient su5Sti-
tute in Harry Lutomski.
The best half back prospects are
three Sophomores, Bob Cooper, De-
troit; Stark Richey, Battle Greek,
and John Smithers, Flkhart, Ind.
Lutomski May Move
If Lutomski is not needed at full
back he probably will be used at
one of the guard positions. Schu-
mann, a third string center in 1884;
Olds and Peterson are being
groomed for the other guard.
Tiny" Wright, 240-pounder who
was converted from a tackle, is
slated to play center, the most i'm
portant position under the Michigan
system. The schedule:
Oct. 5, Michigan State; Oct. u, In
diana; Oct. 10, Wisconsin at Mad
ison; Oct. IS, Columbia at New
York; Nov. 2, Pennsylvania; Nov. 9,
Illinois at Urbana; Nov. 16, Mime

ceremony until Oct. l.
The petition is being prepared
upon the theory that a nervous
bridegroom-elect would not make
much of a fight against Max Baer
Tuesday night in the Yankee Sta
dunn.
Edgar Pitts, president of the Joe
Louis Booster Club, declared that he
would seek the signatures of Gov
ernor Fitzgerald and Mayor Couzens
on the document, which will be
taken to Miss Trotter and Louis by
the Boosters Club Monday.
Pitts said the petition originally
was to ask Miss Trotter not to make
Louis move to Chicago, but as the
club members got to talking it over,
a dozen men who had been bride
grooms, started to worry about Joe's
plans to marry just as soon as ne
knocked out Baer.
Johnny Tears, the clubs SER
geant- at-arms, told his fellow club
members that he had been a bride
groom himself and that he was "a
nervous wreck three days before 1
had to face the minister"
That's right, that right, that's
the way I was, too" half dozen
members chimed in. I'VE better
include in the petition that maybe
Joe shouldn't marry for week
after the fight. Then be can keep
his mind on Max and not the min
ister."

Bruins, Cards
Battle Down
Home Stretch
Cubs Bank on HenShaW for
18th Straight Triumph;
ST. |. on Defensive.
BY HENRY SUPER
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 21-Another
nail-the l7th-will be hammered
into Manager Charley Grimm's shoe
today if the Chicago Cubs defeat
the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Whenever the Cubs start a win
ming streak, Grimm celebrates each
victory by adding a nail to the heel
of his shoe. He's counting on Roy
Henshaw to give him an opportunity
to add to the rapidly-growing
cluster.
HenshaW. a spot pitcher-one who
can halt certain teams-already has
beaten Pittsburgh six times this
season. If he wins, the Cubs need
only another victory tomorrow to go
into their showdown" series against
the st. Louis Cardinals next
Wednesday with an unbroken string
of 10 triumphs. The Cubs are idle
Monday and Tuesday.
Take Short Vacation
All teams in both leagues rested
yesterday and start the final stretch
battle today-stretch battle only as
far as the Cubs and Cards are con-
cerned. The Detroit Tigers can
clinch the American League pen
nant today by taking double-head-
er from st. Louis if the New York
Yankees lose to Boston.
It's a different proposition in the
National. with only two and a half
games separating the Cubs and
Cards. If st. Louis can maintain
that margin or cut it down in its
remaining three games with Gin
cinnati and two against Pittsburgh
before entertaining the Cubs in
fve-game series beginning WedneS-
day. they still will have a chance
to retain the league title.
Figures Favor Cubs
The Cubs, on paper, seem like the
best bet to finish first The Cards
definitely are on the defensive. If
the Cubs win their next two against
Pittsburgh, the Cards will have to
take all five games preceding the
Chicago series. Figuring on that
basis, the Cards still would have to
capture three of five from the Cubs
to tie and four of five to win.
If the Cubs win today and to-
morrow and the Cards lose one of
those five games, it would be prac-
tically all over for st. Louis be-
cause, on that basis, the Cards,
even if they did take. three out of
five from Chicago, still would fall
a game short of winning And to
capture the pennant they would
need four of five.
Mickey Expects to Face Cubs
Bill Terry, New York Giant man
ager, whose team was knocked out
of the running this week by losing
four straight to Chicago, returned
home today and said, They do
everything right" Mickey Cochrane,
Detroit pilot, thinks Chicago will
win and oppose his Tigers in the
world series.
THE Cubs are red hot and I
think they have the flag won, :"
Mickey claims. THE Cards are
firing and overworking the Dean
brothers"
