THESE BOYS WERE MISTAKEN

A lover of birds came into our of
flee this week carrying in his
pocket a little dead bird. The top
of its head had been shot off. He
had read a recent article in this
newspaper stating that thoughtless
boys were killing too many of our
little feathered friends.
There are hundreds of birds
around our place." he said, and
both my wife and | do all we can
to keep the boys from killing them.
But it is hard job They seem de-
termined to shoot as many of them
as they can Recently | found this
little bird lying on the ground and
some boys standing nearby with a
gun | talked to them in a friendly
way, asking them if they didn't
know they shouldn't kill harmless
little birds. They insisted it was
all right to kill such bird as the
one | held, as it was a sparrow.
THAT was an example of the boys
having the wrong kind of informa-
ton. The dead bird was a ground
sparrow, a pretty and harmless lit
tile creature. The boys had been
taught that the English sparrow is
a pest and should be exterminated
/ The two look somewhat alike ano
the boys were mistaken. But wish
something could be done to get the
boys to leave the birds alone"
There are many who hold the
same sentiment as this lover O.

~ EES from BeltSville and bees
x from Medina, Ohio, met in
| battle formation shortly after

The Beltsvilie colony won.
E. R. Root, champion bee exhibitor
of America, had taken hive of bees
to the ellipse, just south of zero mile
stone, to rehearse his act before the
main show, when 1000 beekeepers
from this and other countries were to

after Mr.. Root let his bees out they
swarmed to the Beltsville hive which
stood on the grandstand nearby.
Outer guards met the attack and the
fight was on. Numerous bees were
killed before Medina. Ohio, bees were
lured back to their own hive.
In one of the finest exhibitions of
bee culture ever staged in Washing
ton, Mr.. Root let bees crowd into his
hat, put his hat on his head, and
permitted the bees to crawl all over
his face and neck. After that, an
other exhibitor Arthur L. Axtell OF

Careful control of milk has re-

Health Officer George c. Rutland de-
clared today at the opening confer
ence of the Association of Dairy, Food
and Drug officials of the United States
at the Raleigh Hotel He praised the
members for their work in their re-
spective States.
Many of the evils existing in the

cited by Chief Chemist Harry Kluster
of the Department of Agriculture and
Markets of Madison, Wis, who is
president of the Association of Dairy,

DECISION ON PAY
IS DUE ON FRIDAY
Minimum Wage Board to
Meet With Other Inter-
ested Groups.

A decision on minimum wages for
Washington's 5000 women and minor
employees in the retail trade industry
is now scheduled for final meeting
to be held Friday night at the Dis
trict Building by the Minimum Wage
Board and representatives OF labor,
employers and the public.
Efforts will be made at that time
to find an acceptable compromise be-
tween the budget of s14.57 suggested
by employer spokesmen and budget
of s2l51 requested by spokesmen for
the clerks.
Witnesses Are Heard.
The Retail Trade Conference may
be influenced to some degree by testi-
mony taken at meeting last nlght
when views on economic requirements
of the workers we're presented by sew
eral witnesses. Among those appear
ing were DR.. Paul Nystrom, Columbia
University professor, who is serving as
marketing adviser for the limited price
stores, who was called as witness
for the F. w. WoolWorth stores;
Joseph w. Leverton, former Washing
ton merchant, who has been cham
pioning the cause of the clerks, and
DR.. William M. Leiserson, now men,
ber of the National Mediation Board,
who has served as an arbiter in labor
disputes since 1919.
DR.. Leiserson, discounting insistance
on the two extremes in the issue be-
tween employe and employer spokes-
men, said the answer should be some
where near a middle of the road"
figure, and he mentioned $18 week
as fair" minimum wage decision.
He warned that if fair min
imum wage were not fixed it would
constitute advice to the workers that
the minimum wage law is not sub
stitute for militant unionism."
Argues for S14 Week.
DR.. Nystrom, as agent for employ
ers. has submitted brief arguing
for a wage minimum ranging from
s14 and SIS a week, holding that If
the wage is fixed too high it will
mean the discharge of some workers
now employed, and warning that an
other result would be to drive some
of Washington's trade to places out
| side the District.
Leverton urged a wage OF $40 per
week, declaring that sales clerks must
dress in keeping with the character OF
the store in which they are employed
and that to do SO properly called for
a minimum wage of the figure he
suggested.

P. v. A. PERSONNEL
REDUCTION SEEN
ON EVE Of PARLEY
IckeS Will Confer With Re-
qionaI Directors Here
This Week.
EMPLOYEES IN CAPITAL
TO SEE RANKS Trimmed
Size of New Staff Is Topic OF
Meeting Preceding Change
b in. Entire Set-Up.

Initial orders to scale down the
huge personnel structure of the Pub
lie Works Administration are expect
ed to be given consideration this
week when Administrator Ickes con-
fers here with his newly named re-
gional directors and their assistants.
With the new regional set-up 60
ing into effect next Monday. the eyes
of $500 employees, whose interests are
at stake, are focused on the Wash
ington headquarters conference.
In any change from State set-up
to one of seven regions, each embrar-
ing several States, the P. w. A. an
- nounced yesterday, an extensive re-
duction of pay roll and administra-
tive expense will be achieved. That
the major portion of the economies
of operation will be achieved at the
expense of the administrative staff,
both in the field and in Washington,
was foregone conclusion.
The coming conference, which will
deal entirely with administrative mat
ters, may be held toward the end of
the week. Next Monday the State
Offices will be abolished and the
regional staffs in the field will take
. over administration of the construc-
ton program of nearly 5000 projects.
Straus to Take New Job.
On that date, also, Nathan Straus,
newly appointed administrator of the
Federal Housing Authority, will es-
tablish himself in Washington under
the Interior Department.
In the interests of economy and
reorganization one of the first mat
ters to be threshed out in conference
Is the size of the new P. w. A. staff.
There is not likely to be an i'm
mediate wholesale reduction in per-
sonnet but the initial orders prob
ably will be far-reaching. At least
one-third of the field staff are ex-
pected to be laid off in time. The
Washington headquarters staff, COM
prising about $500, will be scaled
downward to a marked degree.
The process of job severance is
nothing new to P. w. A. employees,
and, at least in this instance, they
have had several months to adjust
their minds to it. The only trouble
Is that no department seems to know
Just how heavily it will be reduced
or just when the process will begin.
Housing Jobs Secure.
So far as the 400 employees in the
housing division are concerned, it has
been announced that their jobs are
secure. They will be absorbed by the
new Housing Authority.
Administrator Ickes has completed
the administrative set-up for the
seven new regions which are to take
over the job of winding up the P.
W., A. program. All appointments
were made from the existing field
staff, thereby bringing to the new
regional directors the trained and ex-
perienced personnel developed in 50
months of operation.
The new assistant director in region
/, which includes Maryland, is Frank
B. Creedon, formerly project manager.
He is directly under Maurice E. Gil
more, the new head of the region,
whose appointment was announced
last week. Howard T. Cole, director
of the region which includes Virginia,
will have as his chief assistant j. l..
M. Irby, former State director OF
South Carolina.

BUDGET HEARINGS
FORD.C. RESUMED
Hazen Hits Procedure, Re-
veaIs Bill to Change Con-
troll Is Being Pushed.

The Budget Bureau resumed hear
ings today on the Districts s49,70o,0OO
budget estimates for the 1889 fiscal
year - hearings which Commissioner
Hazen regards as unnecessary" be-
cause the budget executives are COW
ering ground already thoroughly gone
over by the Commissioners.
Incindentally Commissioner Hazen
revealed that Corporation Counsel e.
wood H. Seal is making marked prog
ress on a proposed bill he is drafting
designed to relieve the Budget Bu-
reau from its control over Districts
finances Chairman Palmisano of the
House District Committee suggested
the proposed bill and has promised
to introduce and push it at the regu-
lar session of Congress in January.
Hazen Favors Bill.
Commissioner Hazen. who for some
time has opposed the Budget Bu-
reau"s control over the District budg-
ct, indicated he is in complete SYM
pathy with the roposed legislation.
His appearance before the budget
officers yesterday. he said, merely
served to convince him there is no
sense to the present procedure.
Under existing law the Commis-
sioners must refer the District budget
to the Budget Bureau for review.
After that the budget is reviewed by
the House Subcommittee on Appro-
priations in charge Of the District
appropriation bill and later by the
Senate Subcommittee on Appropria-
tions.
Palmisano-s Views.
Mr.. Palmisano believes that neither
the Budget Bureau nor Congress
should attempt to dictate the Dis
trict's financial policies, but feels
confident that to divorce both Con-
gress and the Budget Bureau from
control over the budget at the same
time might be considered too drastic
Therefore he urged that the new bill
merely remove the Budget Bureaus
control.
The ideal plan of budget control
according to Mr.. Palmisano. would be
to make the Commissioners entirely
responsible for the fiscal affairs OF
the District. Congress under his plan
would only appropriate the annual
Federal payment toward municipal
expenses.
