The Duel That Failed

Clay Allison, a famous gun-fghter,
who told him about the strangest duel!
he'd ever seen. It was between two!
frontiersmen who didn't like the color
of each others hair. So they agreed
to fight it out with long rifles-standI
back to back, then each take ten long
steps, turn and begin firing.
The duel began. Each with his right
eye drew a bead ON the others left
eye-it wasn't sportsmanlike to shoot,
out the other mans right eye and thus
spoil his aim. They fired at the same
instant but neither bullet took effect
They shot second time-a third
fourth-and a fifth. Still nothing
happened. In fact they kept shooting
until each man had used up 20 cart
ridges. 'There's something spookyI
about thfs," said one. "Shore is !" said
the other. Maybe we amt supposed
to kill each other"
"Reckon we'd better call 1t off and.
shake hands," suggested the first
"Suits mel" said the second.
They started toward each other,
each one taking ten long steps so they
would meet face to face where they,
had parted back to back. AS they met.
and clasped hands, one exclaimed
"Ouchl Something's burnin' through
my boot!"
They looked down. There on the
ground was pile of melted lead. The
mystery of the bullets that failed to
kill was solved. So accurate had been
their aim that their bullets had met
midway with such terrific force that
they melted each other and dropped
to the ground. Clay said he knew this
was true because he saw the place
on the ground where the melted lead
had been and there wasn't speck Of
grass growing there.

BUREAU REVIEWS
STUDY
Of the Trends in Workers
Education

New York City.-The Workers Ed
ucation Bureau is making study of
the trends in workers education since
1929. This study has been undertaken
to bring up to date the analysis of
the content of workers education.
Appreciated from the first as a
splendid idea and propelled by no
selfish motive or any kind of propa-
ganda, this sort Of adult education has
from the beginning relied almost
wholly upon the findings and expe-
rIence of those who tried it-what
studies did they find the best, what
curriculum the most useful to teach
them to thing more clearly, to think
on their feet, get the beverage and
benefit of scientific knowledge in do
ing their work, what books to read
and so on.
In line with this idea of cleaning
information from those who had tried
it, the Workers Education Bureau, as
far back as 1926, through its research
division, caused study to be made
by John J. Hader and Edward c.
Lindeman, which study found expres
sion in the publication of a book
which remains an authority on this
subject" What Do Workers Study -
This is the kind Of a study which
is now being taken up again and the

U.S.. Workers Enjoying
Christmas Break

One of the best Christmas
"breaks" in history was to begin
today for Washington's 114,000
Government employees. Promptly
at / p. m. the doors Of every
agency in the city were to close
on all official business, releasing
thousands for a Yuletide holiday
that will last until Monday morn
ing.
Due to action Of the Seventy
fourth Congress, backed recently
by an executive order by PreSi-
dent Roosevelt, clerks were given
Saturday off in order to provide
a straight through" holiday, and
Federal buildings during the in
terim will be manned only by the
necessary guards and other Gus
todial workers.
The process will be repeated
over the New Year holidays, ex-
cept that personnel will work all
day December 81 in order to allow
pay checks to be distributed.
Many workers, unable to get to
their homes because Of either too
great a distance or insufficient
leave, planned nevertheless to
take short trip as a Christmas
gift to themselves. such an ex-
The Washington times., 1936-12-24

cursion doing much to prevent the
loneliness which frequently attacks
those unable to see their loved
ones during the festive season.
New York was the goal of many.
Continuing to function since
the past election. the New York
unit Of the Democratic Absentee
Voters Bureau was to embark a
special train at 1870 p. m. today,
giving employees who brought
their travelling bags to the office
just enough time to catch it,
and allowing them to be in the
metropolis by Sis this evening.
Similarly, the American Fedora
tion of Government Employees
sponsored New York trips, one
leaving at 1870 p. m. today and
the other-for those who haven't
yet packed-leaving at o'clock.
"Sell Out" Predicted
According to James Baugh,
president of the Civil Service
Commission, A. F. G. E. Lodge,
who handled details of arranging
the trip, a "SeI out" is in pros
pect for both trains, for in addition
to those who wish to see New
York for sightseeing purposes,
practically every New Yorker in
the Government service who has
enough accumulated leave plans
to get home for at least one day.
One reason for the popularity
of the New York excursion, Baugh
revealed, is the ample aid he re,
ceived from numerous feminine
members of the A. F. q. E., who
made sure their colleagues were
informed of the forthcoming
metropolitan invasion, helped him
sell tickets and generally formed
a very helpful assisting committee.
In this category were Maxine
Smith, one of the more popular
employees of the Works Progress
Administration, and Patricia D.
jain, black-eyed student at George
Washington University, who knows
numerous Federal workers who
study at G. w. us well attended
evening classes. Both Miss Smith
and Miss jain were among
Baugh's most helpful aides.
Washington Girl
Miss Smith is Washington girl,
educated at Wilson Teachers Col
lege and G. w. u, and has been
with the WPA for the past three
months in her first Government
position. She is a member of the
Delta zeta Sorority at G. w. U.
Miss jain, who planned also to
take the trip today, is a native
New Yorker, and has been study
ing journalism at G. w. U. for the
past seven months.
