Militia Ousted

The once dreaded Grigoriantz
had been caught in some miSdeed
and reduced to the position OF
camp messenger. He swept the
floors of our supply department
and was sent by us on errands.
His broad cheek-bones now dis
tended in q servile smile instead
of the former inSolent one. Slav-
ishly he endeavoured to please the
commanders, the wielders OF
power. He ran ahead Of them to
open the door, helped them on
with their overcoatS, took off his
cap and bowed low. A little while
later he became q sort Of personal
butler to Zolotarev, the manicured
commander, and his star began
rising again.
The work in our department
proceeded as usual. We had our
meals in the mess-room which had
formerly served as stables for the
fire department. BY agreement
with the fire department the
stables were altered to house the
mess-room. Stoves and boilers were
installed and tables moved in.
When it was all ready, the city
militia announced that it needed
the building and ordered it cleared.
When its demands were rejected,
it occupied the building by force
and elected its occupants and
their equipment.
Sienkevicz, the energetic COM
mander Of the administration, was
called to the rescue and immedi-
ately took decisive steps. He or
dered a detachment Of armed
guards to chase out the militia,
by force if necessary, and then to
report to him. Seeing the deter
mination and the greater number

TERMINAL
NEED CITED

Washington needs a bus ter
minal large enough to accommo-
date buses which come here
from all parts of the country.
H. P. Caemmerer, secretary Of
the Fine Arts Commission, speak
ing as an individual, stated to-
day.
The suggestion, Mr.. Caemmerer
said, was brought up when it
was learned that a new bus COM
pany on an Alexandria line was
looking for a downtown site for
a terminal.
Other large cities, Mr.. Caem-
merer pointed out. have union
bus terminals similar to the
union stations used by the rail-
roads.
However, in order to get &C
ton, he said, the suggestion
would have to come from a bus
company actually interested in
the construction. The plans
then woud be passed on to the
Fine Arts Commission, the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission and the Public Utili-
ties Commission.

BRIBERY USED
TO HELP LOAD
THE BARGES
BY GEORGE KITCHIN
Chapter XXI

As luck would have it,
there was a shortage of brick
and boards at Kotlas. I re-
ceived a telegram. Urgent.
Ship Immediately all brick re-
naming from railroad con-
struction. Buy and ship mini
mum 200 standards of sawn
timber.
It was easier to write such
a telegram than to execute it.
There were about 10000
bricks at the railroad, but they
stored three kilometers from
town, the roads were softened
by the rains, and a horse

bricks per load.

not be stopped. But the tele-
grams came thick and fast

and all hopes were centered
on me. I had to use a we'll
known trick and entice team.
sters away from work for
other Soviet organizations,
TO do this I offered a bonus
of a package of tobacco for
each load hauled.
The announcement of the bonus
spread like wildfire and the next
morning bricks we're being hauled
to the pier at full speed. Then
came the problem of tranSporta-

to the office Of Shkele, the as
siStant commander of the camps,
who had remained at Ust-Sysolsk.
The conversation was always the
same:
"Well, how about the river?"
'Tt Is still Frozen"
"And the brick and the tim.
ber?"
Awaiting shipment"
"Whon are you going to ship
them?"
Gas soon as the ice thaws."
"What makes you think that
It will thaw?"
at is bound to thaw."
'But why is 1t bound to?"
Because 1t must"
"AlI right. You may CO."
I would leave, only to be found
within the hour by an urgent
messenger who demanded that I
come to the chiefs office at once.
Then the same conversation was
repeated.
Under the influence OF the con-
tinual radio messages from Kot-
las, Shkele'S tone of voice abruptly
changed toward the end of the
second day. True checklist that he
was, he was already looking for
the goat on whom to pin the
guilt and the thought was ripen-
ing in his head that the blame
for the illfated shipment could
be heaped on my shoulders.
How about the river?" he kept
asking, now with anger and a hid
den threat in his voice.

brother to Chico MADEIRA, the vio-

three years of college espanol, and
s'help me, I couldn't say hardly
two words without stumbling all
over the place. / never knew what
a beautiful language Spanish
could be until I heard those lads
talking it!
Here's a question, and be care
full how you answer it! Would you
prefer to be ignorant, illiterate, or
just plain stupid? Nine out of ten
people say brightly: 'I'd rather be
just plain stupid" Well, if you
make that answer, brother, you
ARE plain stupid, because if you
had any sense, you'd say you'd
like to be either illiterate or ig-
norant. If you were either one of
those two you could improve your
self, but if you were just plain
stupid, you'd have to stay that
way.

class members raised their hands
in preference of the Stupid" clas-
sifcation, the prof cracked:

towns aren't bad places to come
back to when you're broke, but
darned if they're any Ravens of
prosperity when you want to make
yourself some money. It's either

stay single and pinch pennies.
Either way it's kinda tough on the
pocketbook, Ell?
Well, once made a classified
ton of lads whom I thought would
make future successes of them
selves. That was two years ago.
Today every single one of the

PUBLIC RELATIONS
Series of Meetings Will Fea-
ture A. B. A. Convention.

By Times Special
NEW YORK, Nov. "A special
feature of the American Bankers
Association convention to be held at
New Orleans, Nov. lila, will be a
series of constructive customer rela-
tions conferences which will serve
as clinic for the consideration of
experience and practice in this field.
Seven developments have occurred
during the year in the nationwide
customer relations program of the
association, it is stated, which will
be discussed for the first time in a
national way at the coming conven-
ton.
Among these subjects are training
through American Institute of
Banking Chapters of leaders in Gus
toner relations conferences for
banks, the development of similar
programs in connection with uni
versities and state educational de-
partments, the use of vocaflms for
visual education in institutional
training and cooperation with state
associations in spreading construc-
tive customer relations programs
These projects have been tried out
in several localities with successful
results, it is stated, and will be
called to the attention of the bank
ers at the convention through the
clinic meetings, which will be held
under the direction of Frank M.
lotion, chairman of the public edu-
cation commission of the associa-
ton.
