TEST BEGINS
BY J. EARLE MOSER

What is described by Civil Ser
vice Commission officials as one
of the largest Government exami.
nations ever held in the District
of Columbia began today at the
Mckinley High School as the first
section of a total of 1880 appli-
cantS underwent an exhaustive
trial to prove their fitness as ste
nographers and typiStS for Uncle
Sam.
The examination, which at
tracted a grand total of 81,176
optimistic contestants throughout
the country, will require exactly
Is days in Washington to handle
the top-heavy list of applicants.
Separate sections will be tested at
the same location from today
through Friday, and additional
groups will meet for the same pur-
pose July 10, IA, is, Is, II, 20, 81
and %.
Civil service authorities today
announced that numerous queries
had been received by applicants
who were anxious over the fact
that their tests were scheduled
during the later days Of the
month, fearful that those who
take the trials earlier will receive
preference. It was pointed out
authoritatively that the time Of
taking the examination will have
no bearing on eligibility, all ap-
plicants being rated at the same
time, regardless of the date on
which they are tested.
Because of the huge number
of applications and the fact that
many have taken special "bruSh-
up" training since the test was
announced in order to be at the
peak of ability during the trial. it
is expected that registers of
many thousands will be estab-
lished as eligible for Government
jobs during the future. Despite
this fact, however, Civil Service
officials today estimated that the

AIDE IN COURT

The last faint echo of Repre-"

local Police Court affiliations will
be heard next Friday when Clar.

there.
Hollis case came up today at
the expiration of a 17-day sojourn
in the same institution from
which he would have had Zion

Judge Casey, who has handled
every Zioncheck affair to come
into Police Court, said that Hollis

upon his willingness to make

At Hearing

Peoples Counsel william A.
Roberts petition for a suit
against the Capital Transit Com
pany on q charge of violation
Of the bus passenger limitation
order was treated lightly today
by the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
Vice Chairman Richmond B.
Keech and James l.. Martin, eX-
ecutive secretary of the commits
sion, today looked over a Sched-
ule of impending matters and
decided that in the absence of
Chairman Riley E. Elgen, who
is i'll, there is nothing of Suffi-
cient Importance to hold a regu-
lar Monday meeting"
Petition Waits
It had been expected that the
Roberts petition would be con-
sidered at the meeting, but Mr..
Keech stated this would not be
taken up, at least until Chief
Engineer Fred A. Sager, of the
commission, had completed his
investigation of the overcroWd-
ing complaint. Mr.. Sager, it is
understood, has completed his in
vestigation but his report was
not forwarded to the commits
sion today.
Mr.. Roberts filed his petition
with the commission last week,
urging a suit against the transit
company under the penalty Sec
ton of the utilities law, which
provides q fine of 5000 for viola
ton of a commission order.
Cites Instances
In his complaint, Mr.. Roberts
stated he would produce witnesses
to show that a small bus of the
transit company, with a capacity
of 81 passengers, carried 80 pas
SengerS one day during the morn
ing rush period last week on Mas
SachuSetts Avenue Northwest.
Mr.. Roberts added that in the
event the commission did not see
fit to follow his recommendation
for institution Of the suit, he
would file other complaints with
the commission of violations OF
the bus loading order.

MOTHER SEES
RUNAWAY
PLANNED
GIenmont Pair Took
Cash and Supplies
for Trip

Two girls in their teens, both
blonde and described as attractive,
have been missing from their
homes in the nearby Maryland
community of Glenmont since Sat
urday morning.
A possible explanation for the
disappearance, which has so far
baffled police, came from the
mother of one of the girls, Mrs.
Anna Atwood, who declared today
that shortly before her daughters
disappearance she saw 13-year-old
Arianna Atwood sitting with the
other girl, Dorothy Leidleich, II,
in the rear seat Of a car bearing
District license tags.
With Two Men
Two young men, between Is
and 80, occupied the front seat,
Mrs. Atwood said. She took the
license number as she passed the
automobile on the other side of
the road because the men acted
"queerly." The driver aVerted his
face, Mrs. Atwood declared, and
the other man turned his head
away.
Meanwhile, the mother Of the
other girl, Mrs. William Hull, said
her daughter, Dorothy Leidleich,
had taken with her about $40 used
to make change in selling berries,
as we'll as two towels, tooth
brushes, tooth paste, a cake of
soap, and sweater.
Arianna is described as being
large for her age and looking
about 18 or 20. She was dressed
in blue Stacks with red stripes
and a checkered polo shirt. Her
blonde hair i sworn in long bob.
as is the very light brown hair of
Dorothy.
The latter was said to have been
dressed in brown slacks with vel
low stripes, brown jacket and
a peter Pan" Shirtwaist.
Known to Girls
The evening before the girls
were found to be missing, Ms. Hull
said today, she saw them talking
with two young men in a car in
front of the Hull residence, which
is directly across from the Glen
mont School, about four miles
from the District line on Georgia
Avenue extended. The men drove
away when Mrs. Hull came out of
her home to investigate, she said,
and the girls appeared to be flus-
tered.
Notified of the mystery, Mont
gomery county authorities broad
cast lookout, but so far no clue
as to the whereabouts of the girls
has been uncovered.
Both families expressed the
opinion the disappearance may
have been contemplated in ad-
vance. The families live side by
side.
The license number obtained by
Mrs. Atwood was traced to a local
motor company, which said the
plates represented by the number
were in the office of the firm. It
was believed the number taken
down by Mrs. Atwood may have
been erroneous.

Among the citations which COM
prise the lesson-sermon will be the
following from the Bible: r OF
the word of God is quick, and
powerful. and sharper than any
two-edged sword, piercing even TO
the dividing asunder of soul and
spirit, and of the joints and mar
row, and is a discemer of the
thoughts and intents of the heart.
The Iesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
THE understanding that the Ego
is Mind. and that there is but one
mind or intelligence, begins at
once to destrov the errors of NOR

of immortal sense. This under
standing makes the body harmon
