Officials at PWA admit that cut
ting down personnel will occupy a
considerable time, and If no more
than one-fourth Of the staff Is
"liuuidated' the number to go in
washington should not exceed 300,
inasmuch as Civil Service Commits.
sion figures for March indicated
the agency had less than $500

OF course, PWA could concen'
trate It's firing within the District

have been that the reverse Will be
the case.
washington business, particu'
larly apartment interests and such
small retail enterprises as boarding
houses and the numerous tea
rooms and other "eaterieS" that
dot the apartment-bo boarding house
area, has benefited considerably in
recent years by the startling
growth Of Government personnel.
And In the near future at least,
personnel figures seem to have
shown q desire to continue zoom'
ing.
The Administrators widespread
order to reduce emergency expen-
diture by personnel slicing Is now
a good many months old, but
Washington's total Of people
drawing Federal pay checks has
consistently increased. This Is not
to be interpreted to mean that
everyone is getting a job as fast
as he loses one, for the turnover
Of late has gone largely to tolK
with Civil Service status or TO
fresh and inexperienced seekers
Of patronage largeSse.
Washington broke the 100000
mark for Government employees
one year ago, and every month
since has seen q definite increase,
sometimes large, sometimes puny.
At the beginning Of last month
there were 1880 workers OF all
descriptions in town, within 5000
of the number who Swarmed here
the day horns, bazooS and news
extras heralded the signing Of the
Armistice. o.,
The slicing thus far has dwelt
principally within the ranks OF
agencies set up during the current
Administration but believed to be
permanent. Old line offices in
April had more workers than the
entire district personnel in june
of 1888, $4,000 against 5000,
while agencies devoted to admin
istering relief work have grown
sufficiently to offset the decrease
among AAA. FILA, HOLC and
others.

Johnny Revolta doubts that he ever again will see As finc A chip shot as ono turned in by Macdonald Smith during the Nassau part Of the Oasmont Open Rt Glendale, Calf, last year
 The circumstances and tho point of the matches at which it was executed made the shot all the more remarkable.
 Henry Picard and Ky Lafioon were In and tied with 20 points, To win, Smith had to defeat Re- volta for q total of 3l points, It Rll hinged on the l00-foot chip shot of which Revolta speaks,
 It appeared as though Smith had shot himself out the running when the great professional faded his brAssie secNnd to the left of the home green to avoid q trap. The veteran had to hit the chip shot high to avoid n little hill before the green and tlll hold sharply tilted green that ran away from the shot,
 Smith chose No, 8 iron, The ball rolled over the hill and down the other side, hit the cup, hopped six inches in the air, and fell in,
 "A good chip shot Is more valu- able than a 250-yard drive" says Revolta, Chipping and putting arc 60 per cent of golf, It's possible to go around the course with drives that And the rough and irons that miss the greens, and still score par through toward the line, the aver age player makes hard work of the chip shot by trying to steer the ball,
 Let the club do the hitting. Stand fairly close to the ball. as in the putting stance. Take firm grip with the left hand. This permits the golfer to hit through the ball and averts a collapse of the wrists at or before impact.
