Greeting Messaee Servine

A special Thanksgiving. Christ mas and New Years greeting mes sage service will be available over the Western Union and Postal Tel egraph lines in the United States. according to word received by the local Signal Corps radio station from Col Kumpe.
 Messages for delivery not carrier than the day following date of filing containing not more than Is words will be accepted at a flat rate of 35 cents between Seattle and any point in the United States served directly by either telegraph company, ad- ditional words over 1 5 at ? F cents per word
 There is no reduction in the ccs. of messages from Alaska to Seattle, so that the greeting service to AL askans it not so great as to those in the states. However, a 50-Word greeting message to New York, for instance, which ordinarily costs $2.2O plus , per cent federal tax, under the special services as an. nounced, will cost $1.35, plus the tax.

Curling Club

The Fairbanks Curling Club has recently spent $500 in building i'm provements. Most of the money came to the club by a fortunate circum- stance A ticket held in the name of the club was the one drawn last winter in the $500 Art Brown con test and that money, together with $500 already in the treasury, fi nanced the modernization program. The sport which came to Alaska out of Canada, which imported it from Scotland, which brought it over from Holland was first placed in Fairbanks on the ice of the Cinema River. That arrangement was high ly unsatisfactory. When it wasn't too cold to play there was snow to clear from the rink, but neyerthe- less enthusiasts kept doggedly at it.
 Later warehouse was used and then the club put up rough struc ture which has been gradally inn proved. The building has length of 145 feet, the majority of the length being devoted to the rinks. of which there are two.
 Fronting the ice is a glassed-in steam-heated room for spectators. In the rear is a room containing a big stove, heat from which is blown into the curling compartment by an electric fan.
 As things are now fixed, the players should be able to play with out discomfort at an outdoors tenn perature of 45 degrees below zero. With the temperature down to that point it will be about zero on the rinks.
 At Fairbanks curling is a sport which no one has to miss. Stones and brooms are furnished but in many places Outside players have to provide their own. Cost of the stones would put the game entirely out of the reach of the ordinary man. They come at about $75 pair.
 Last year there were 80 mem bers, of whom 32 were women.

Extra Christmas Help

The Anchorage postmaster has been allotted S2O3.22 10 hire extra help to assist in handling the Christ mas rush this year according to an order from the postoffice departr ment in Washington. This sum will provide approximately 324 man hours of extra work at the Anchor age postoffice during the ten-day period of Christmas rush, postal of ficials figure. The allotment is based on the Anchorage pOstmaster's own estimate of the amount of addition al help needed this year, it was said. The money will be used mainly to hire extra clerks but additional la borers, if necessary above the regul- ar quarterly allotment, will also be paid from this fund. Substitutes are expected to be given preference for the work but the question is entire ly up to the postmaster, officials said. By a rule of long standing, no one above 45 years of age is to be employed for the Christmas work however. Christmas allotments to postoffices this year are in most cases considerably larger than sim ilar allotments made last year, in- that increased business is expected this Christmas, it was said at the postoffice department.

COUNTY STARTS
HOUSING PLAN
MONDAY

SILVER SPRING, Md, Aug. 27.
The largest single housing project
ever started in Montgomery coun-
ty is scheduled to get under way
Monday morning, following the is
suance of building permit at the
county offices here today.
The apartment house project, to
be erected on a 10-acre tract of
land at the intersection of Six
teenth Street, Colesville Road and
the East-West Highway, will cost
approximately $375,00O and will
contain 178 apartments, Gerald
Warthen, building inspector an
nounced today.
Huge Assignment
This project, the largest single
public construction job ever
opened in the county, according
to Mr.. Warthen, will place more
assessment on the county'S as
sessable basis and bring in more
tax revenue than the entire busi-
ness district of Silver Spring.
To be constructed of face brick,
plans for the project call for the
erection of 81 separate apartment
buildings. They will be two and
three stories in height, Mr.. War
then said.
Both duplex house and apart
ment types of residences will be
included in the project according
to the plans, and the apartments
will be from three to five rooms
in size. Rentals will average about
$14 per room, Louis Justment, the
architect, said today.
Colonial Theme
The permit for construction was
issued in the name of the Faulk-
land Properties, Inc, and when
completed the project will be of a
picturesque colonial architecture
surrounded by Handicapped grounds.
The tract of land on which the
apartment is to be erected was
purchased from the Blair Manage.
ment Corp, several months ago,
Mr.. Warthen said. A petition to
rezone the tract from residential
"a" to &c" was approved by the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and
members of the Board of Mont
gomery County Commissioners q
short time later.

MEDICAL HELP
FREE ET0NEEDY

In this city, as we'll as in every
city throughout the country, there
are hundreds of men, women and
children who die needlessly each
year. They die because they have
not had the proper medical atten-
ton, and in many cases, no medi-
cal attention at all.
They die needleSSly because,
though they cannot afford it. the
medical attention that would have
saved their lives is available to
them at all times, free FOR the
asking.
Today, The Washington Times
starts a series of stories in an ef-
fort to point out to these people
that the medical service is avail
able to them, if only they will
use it.
That the District of Columbia
is willing and able to dispense free
medical attention to the thousands
who cannot afford to employ the
services of a private physician is
attested to by Commissioner Mel
vim C. Iazen, who says:
THE people must be edu-
Gated that they can avail them
selves of privileges placed at
their disposal by the District.
1t is a we'll known fact that
the people who could best bene-
fit by the service we give
through our Health Depart
ment, do not avail themselves
Of those opportunities.
"The District of Columbia
maintains an ever-active force
whose business it is to safe
guard the health of the peO-
pie of Washington. They do
their best, but without the CO
operation of the people them
selves, they are virtually help
less.
Zone of the chief functions
of the Health Department is
preventive advice. We start
with children from birth, even
before birth, through our pre-
natal service, and we watch
them throughout their school
career.
But if mothers will not
bring their babies to our
clinics, we cannot help them.
Mothers should know where to
go and then CO."

Health Officer, commented in

President Expected
To Alter Trip Plans
To Attend Dern Rites

President Roosevelt's itinerary
on his tour of the Western drought
area probably will be altered to
permit him to attend Secretary of
War Dern's funeral, which it is
expected will be held in Salt Lake
City, Utah, it was said at the
White House today.
Efforts were made Immediately
after news of Dern'S death
reached the White House to notify
the President. Mr.. RooSevelt'S
train at that time was reported to
be somewhere between Jamestown
and Bismarck, N. D. Railway Of
ficials instructed station agents
at intermediate points to flag the
special so that the White House
might contact Mr.. Roosevelt by
telephone in his private car.
1t was not believed here that
the Chief Executive would fill the
vacancy at the War Department
for some time.

MERIT SYSTEM
At PEAK SINCE
WAR TIME

Despite the fact that Govern
ment payrolls on June 80 carried
an army Of 325,534 "unclassified"
civilian employees, most Of them
New Deal" political appointees,
approximately so per cent Of the
Federal service was revealed to-
day by the Civil Service CommiS-
sion to be under the merit system.
Making public its personnel sur
vey for the past fiscal year, the
Commission disclosed that of a
total of more than $4,000 work
ers, 498,725 are holding positions
subject to the competitive require
mentS of the civil service act and
rules.
In the IL months preceding June
80 it was announced that claSSi-
fled competitive positions increased
by more than $4,000, and that
the June aggregate is the largest
number of merit system jobs un-
der the Government since 1919. At
that time wartime civilian person
mel approached a million, and Fed
eral subsidy of temporary build
ings in Washington was necessary
to house 1i7,000 workers stationed
here.
Striking at recent criticism that
the merit system has gradually
been falling to pieces, the Commits
sion stated:
considerable interest has been
expressed concerning the prog
reSS made by the merit system
in recent years. Inquiries have
been made of the Commission
whether or not there has been a
reduction in the number of pO-
sitiOns which are under the COM
petitive system. The figures show
that at present the number of
positions in the competitive claS-
sified civil service is the largest
since 1919. During the past fiscal
year there has been an increase
of more than $4,000 classified
positions.
Merit system employees totaled
450,592 in 1884, the survey re-
vealed, and rose to ass, 5,229 by June
80, 1885. During the three-year
period increases were noted in
practically all major departments
except the Post Office, which drop.

The Zoo director also asked $3.50
for a police car to check speed
ing and maintain proper control
of traffic in the park.
For operation of Juvenile Court,
estimates of $87,790 were submit
ted, which compare with the pres
ent appropriation of $70,530, an
increase of $17,260. 1t is proposed
with the increased funds to hire
three additional probation officers,
five clerks and a janitor at a
total cost of $16,660.
Police Court Cut
Because of the $1,000,000 ap-
propriated in the current budget
for erection of the new Police
Court building, the estimates of
that tribunal decrease $498,500.
The estimates totaled $632 2,150 as
compared with the present budget
Of $1,130,650. The estimates in
cluded $500, 900. for completion of
the new building and an increase
of $4,000 in the item for witness
and jurors fees by which it is
proposed to call special panel of
jurors to be available throughout
the year when other panels are
occupied. The city heads were
told that jury trials in the court
had increased from $50 to 230 in
q year.
The Municipal Court asked for
$87,450, which compares with the
current appropriation of $86,420,
an increase of $1,000. With the
increased fund it is planned to
purchase additional books and
make step-ups in salaries of some
employees.
ABC Asks $3.50
An increase of $4,54O was re-
quested by the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board. The estimates
totaled $44,94O as against the
present $40, 400 appropriation. Out
of the increase it is planned TO
take care of raises in five reclas-
Sified positions, hiring of an ad-
ditional clerk, and raising the
fund "for the purchase of samples"
from 5000 to $1,000. The board
said 5000 was not enough to pur-
chase all liquor samples it needed
for proper enforcement of the
liquor laws.

were compimented on their re-
markable achievement and their
splendid craftsmanship. Rev. D.

the very fine program, in which
every church was represented. The
success of the tea is indeed a trib-
ute to the Border Epworth League,
