CIVIL SERVICE
FIGHTS FAKES

WASHINGTON, Feb. l3. U,P -
Distribution of misleading informa-
ton by agents of correspondence
schools conducting courses in pre-
paration for civil service examina-
tions has caused the United States
civil service commission to issue in
structionS guarding against such
practices.
The commission said no one could
promise appointments to positions
for which it holds examinations.
Such assurance, the commission ad-
ded, brands the person making it
fraud"
Information regarding civil service
may be obtained from the boards
OF United States civil service exam
iners. There is a board in each COM
munity maintaining a post office of
the first or second class.
Before paying money for tuition,
or signing a contract, the Commits
sion advised, it is advisable TO in
quire into the prospect of examina-
tions, as there is reason to believe
that agents of some schools deceive
the public as to the probability of
early examinations"
1t was pointed out that no school
has advance information on the
need for employees or the probabil-
ity of examinations.

Wayne Northrup Has Fine
Football Record

The Marietta sports writer's have
been giving Wayne Northrup special
recognition as one of the outstand-
ing players in the Marietta college
team. Speaking of the Washington
Jefferson game we quote:
"In order to give credit where
credit is due, the center Of the line
was a tower of strength-Wayne
Northrup. John Starr, John Hook
and Clark Hoffman shone on de-
Tense with Northrup.' ),
In the report of the winning game
last Friday night, which was the
last home game for Marietta col
lege this season, speaking of Nor
thrup's record, the writer said:
"Northrup played brilliant ball as A
sophomore, fell into slump in his
junior year, but this year has been
the outstanding man on the Blue
and White line. At the morning
chapel exercises held Friday, Nor
thrup and five other seniors were
honored with gold footballs with
engravings of the letter "M'' and
the initials Of the players to whom
the token was presented"
Insofar as we recall, Northrup
is the only Morgan county boy play
ing on a college football team this
season, and he is as has been stated,
one of the outstanding players.
