NAVY PROMOTION
SYSTEM STUDIED
Views Of 500 Witnesses
Given General Board in
Secret Quiz.

A secret study of the Navy promo
ton system, conducted by the Cen
eral Board for the past several
months, is nearing completion, 1t was
learned today.
The board advises the Secretary of
the Navy on matters of policy. Sec
retary Swanson initiated this study
and the board will render its report
directly to the cabinet officer.
Whether it will be made public Is up
to the Secretary.
To date, the views Of some 500 wit
nesses have been recorded, so that
now the board has available prac-
tically all aspects of the selection
system, which ranges all the way
from junior grade lieutenant to rear
admiral =
Observations Confidential.
Observations Of officers on the
present promotion system are being
held strictly confidential by the
board. They do not pass through the
ordinary official channels, by way OF
commanding officers and comman-
dants of navy yard and commanders
of the forces af1oat, but are forwarded
directly to the board. The Bureau OF
Navigation, which has jurisdiction of
personnel, does not see these obser-
vations, it is said. as they are burned
as soon as the board has digested the
necessary information.
One Of the studies being made has
to do with the securing of younger
officers as rear admirals and captains.
The problem is to promote the junior
men to flag rank, while at the same
time preserving the flow of advance
ment.
Two-Year Probation.
After graduation from the Naval
Academy ensigns are now on a pro-
bationary period of two years. Off
cials pointed out today that, mas
much as applicants to the Navy
Academy are selected mentally and
physically in the first place, COM
paratively few officers are lost to the
service by poor health-a far differ
ent situation than that prevailing in
the business world.
AlCUScGIIcr tIlclc are SOIIle O,ouu
line officers in the Navy. OF these,
by law, per cent are admirals, per
cent captains, 8 per cent COM
manders. IS per cent lieutenant COM
manders and 70 per cent junior off,
GERS. Selection boards, composed of
rear admirals and sometimes cap
tains, are appointed by the Secretary
OF the Navy to make recommenda
tions for promotions. and these find
ings are usually accepted by the
President, who sends the names to
the Senate for confirmation.

CHAPTER VIII

AS Claire, thoroughly alarmed, listened to the tapping noise, other cars besides hers also noted the sounds. Pat had shaken loose from the unconsciousness caused by his sudden fall down the winse of the old mine.
 Painfully he fished the clgaret lighter from his pocket and flashed 0fs the feeble ray of light. The damp walls of another tunnel met his gaze. branching of from the shaft down which he had fallen. Because there was no hope of climbing the smooth, glimy walls Of the raise without 2 ladder, he got up and started to walk along this lower level
 For what seemed an intermin- able distance, he fumbled his way 1n the darkness to save his lighter. Ail sense of direction was lost in the blackness, but the footing seemed solid and fairly dry, and the cir was still fresh, as though other shafts cut in from above. PAt felt certain he had come . long way and was just flashing on the lighter again when the tap- ping sound that Claire was iisten- Ing to in the library Of the House of Long Shadows, came faintly to his ears.
 What was itp Were his nerves beginning to crack from the hor. fibie darkness7 Pat shook himself free from the dark thoughts and pressed forward.
 Presently he was coming into another, larger part of the mine. The place was quite dry and by carefully selecting fragments Of wood, Pat soon had 6 bundle of torch material which would last for some time. He also found Q rusty pickax. Carrying the tool, and with the aid of the heartening flame of the torch, he pushed on in the direction from which he had heard the sounds.
 At last he came to Q blank wall.
 Pat drove the pick into the wall to test it's golidity. Immediately and 50 loudly that 1t made him jump, an answering sound came from beyond.
 "HaiIoo thereI Hallool" he shouted at the top Of his lungs. But only the words rushed back.
 For an hour by his watch (which niraculously, had escaped injury) Pat dug away at the tun- iael's end.
 His watch told him 1t was al- most evening, and there seemed no immediate prospect Of being able to dig himself out. Wearily, his eyelidS dropped shut Just 70 WinLA--tInen he'd 40 at t again.

AUTO EMPLOYMENT
ABOVE 1929 LEVEL
July Figures Show Labor
Shielded from Seasonal
Fluctuations

New York, Sept. 15.-July reports
from all United. States automobile
and body plants received by the Auto
mobile Manufacturers Association
show the unprecedented job stability
which has characterized recent OPP
eratlons of the industry was carried
into the summer. Moreover, average
employment for the 1896 season to
date is above the 1929 level.
During July $4,000 persons were at
work despite the fact that several
plants had closed down for retooling
This figure compares with average
employment of 100000 during the nine
months since November, 1885, when
the 1896 models were introduced The
July figure is within eight per cent
OF the peak employment for this pc
Rod. In contrast with this small range
of variation, retail sales have fluc-
tuated in the same period from 217,-
600 cars in February to 100000 in
April, an increase of more than 100
per cent from bottom to top.
That level trend of factory jobs
was maintained in the face of wide
changes in sales volume means that
the manufacturers and their dealers
protected the factory employees from
nine-tenths of the shock of seasonal
variation in retail demand. This was
accomplished through the early intro
duction of 1886 models, which made
it possible to build up satisfactory
field stocks before the Spring squirt
in demand. Advance building of i'll
ventories of parts and sub-assemblies
during periods which otherwise
would have been slack also played a
large role.
The high average of employment
which accompanied this stability rec
ord occurred despite the fact that
factory sales of vehicles have remain
ed Is per cent behind the record
levels of 1929, while the dollar value
of sales is still one-third below the
peak levels.
Re-empoyment outstripped produc-
ton and sales because of the increase
in size, addition of equipment, and
improvement in quality of all cars
during recent years; factors which
increased sharply the amount of labor
required per vehicle.
