LEAVE RULES
APPROVED

Temporary regulation governing
annual and sick leave Of municipal
employees under the new law ex-
tending annual leave to 26 days
were approved yesterday by the
District Commissioners.
The regulations will remain in
effect until President Roosevelt
issues an order governing leave of
both Federal and the District Gov
ernments.. This order is expected
in June.
The temporary rules provide
that employees, before taking an
nual leave, must arrange to do
so with heads of their depart
mentS. The rules also provide
that when an employe transfers
from one branch of the municipal
service to another, he does not
lose accumulated leave, which
point is in controversy in a num-
ber of the Federal departments.

LACK OF JOBS
CUTS COLLEGE

DETROIT, April Is UN.SJ,
Inability Of college students to
earn their way through school
caused q 10 per cent decrease In
college enrollments from 1882 to
1884, Richard r. Brown, assistant

Youth Administration, told the
National Association Of College
Registrars here today. He said:
'Tn the prosperous twenties
the earn your way through col
lege' tradition was firmly en-
bedded ID. the strata Of Ameri-
can life. Stories Of the HOratiO.
Alger type, with the hero earn
ing . college education by selling
automobiles or by working as .
waiter in . lunchrOOm, were
avidly read by large public.
But the depression made 1t
virtually impossible for young
people to earn enough money to
meet the total expenses Of . col
lege education.
"AS the number of students
seeking part-time jobs with
which to keep themselves in col
lege increased tn e number Of
these jobs decreased. And it was
this alarming situation which
led in February, 1884, to the in
auguration by the Federal Gov
ernment Of . college aid pro-
gram"
More than 100000 students are
being aided in college work, &C
cording to National Youth Ad-
ministration reports. WPA Admin
istrator Harry L. Hopkins has an
nounced that organization will be
continued if Congress enactS the

there Is no reason to believe that
blues are not as equally well set In
their ways. Last year really good
catches were made right up until the

For the last several weeks storms

large extent, may be accountable for
the few reports Of blue catches.
