It is not commonly known
that the Statue of Liberty was
one of the first structures built
on the principle Of the modern
SkyScraper, that is, a light, outer
shell supported by an internal
framework of steel. Such it is,
which makes it possible for stair.

statue, even to its very head.
The statue was put together
after the manner Of those cut

in vogue several years ago.
Three hundred thin copper
plates, weighing in all about 200,.
600 pounds, were made in France
and sent to the United States.

in fact, she does not weigh half

Civil Service

As former secretary of the United States Civil Serv
ice Commission Mr. E. Claude Babcock is certainly in
a position to know the situation among Government
personnel.
It is therefore not surprising that Mr. Babcock should
have written pamphlet in which he declares that
"Neuer before in the history of the Nation has
an administration, eUen before the passage OF the
Civil Service Act, handed out jobs to political
cohorts in pavn,ent for political services such
a grand scale"
The fact that the pamphlet printed and is being
distributed by the Republican National Committee does
not detract from the seriousness of Mr. Babcok charges
nor does weaken the soundness of the knowledge upon
which those charges are based
Although Mr. Babcock wrote the pamphlet as for
mer secretary of the Civil Service Commission and in
his capacity as private citizen it is perhaps inevitable
that the pamphlet should be considered also in the light
of the fact that Mr. Babcock is at present president of
the American Federation Of Government Employees
That Mr. Babcock holds that office merely confirms
the fact that he knows whereof he speaks.
1t should be borne in mind that the Government
employees whose organization Mr.. BabcOck heads,
are in no Day responsible for the present condition
of the Civil Service and for the jOb-lOOrry that
lists among them.
THESE EMPLOYEES ARE MERELY THE VICTIMS
When Mr. Babcock takes his pen or typewriter in
hand and attacks these conditions he is fighting the bat
tie of the Government employe Civil Service well
n-Civl Service just certainly he when he
fought for pay restoration and for iberaized leave
Mr.. BabcOck knOUs, as does everyone whO stops to

pIOyes, including those appointed under this sys-
tenn, greater and greater noes and uviU eventually

Service employees.
The American Federation of Government Employees is
affiliated with the American Federation of Labor
It is interesting to recall that only few days before
Mr.. Babcock's attack the spoils system under Mr.
Roosevelt, Mr.. William Green president Of the Fedora
ton of Labor made statement to the effect that he
would support Mr. Roosevelt in the coming election

Aycock Faculty Is
Entertained Twice

The members of the Aycock scnOol
faculty were entertained on two oc-
casions recently by the patrons of
the school.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. C. Poe, Mrs. A. A.
dement,, and the entire teaching
corps of the Aycock school with APP
proximately one hundred members of
the Sandy Creek and Carey's Chapel
neighborhoods met at the WashOut
at 500 o'clock to enjoy time of
good fellowship sponsored by the
Parent Teachers Association. For
those teachers were returning to Ay-
cock after an absence during the sum
mer it was a time in which old as
Misses Mcleod, Parham, Grissom,
and Thompson, new members of the
faculty, found it a time in which
+hey might make closer acquaint-
ance with the patrons present.
Rev. and Mrs. A. S. Hale and their
small son, Albert, Jr., were special
guests of the occasion.
Immediately after the time spent
at the Washout, the faculty group
was guest at an ice cream supper at
Cokesbury church. Here another
group of approximately one hundred
school patrons warmly welcomed the
old and new teachers.
At both places the program of the
evening consisted of food and more
food Seldom is such large quantity
of such fine food found as was as
senlbled at each of these gatherings.
