Fourteen years ago her father, c.

the farm Of Leroy Gongwer near
Mimin, Ohio. Recently Gongwer
plowed it up. It contained some green
mold and q pocket piece bearing
Gortner's name.

Under the redemption rules q per-

must be made that the remainder
has been destroyed and the good
character Of the applicant must be
attested.

rules are: Full value for three-fifths
OF bill, half value for more than
two-nfths and less than three-fifths
There is only one thing Miss Sherry
doesn't like about her job and that's
the ashes.
Half the time am covered with
ashes" she said. And there's no
use for people to send in real ashes.
If the bills were in q metal container

How to tell counterfeit money from

Program Called One of
Three Matters Demanding
" Quick Attention.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

! Administration leaders in both Sem
ate and House are preparing to rush
through the Presidents reorganization
measures as soon as Congress meets
whether in special session Of in regular
Session in January. They are doing
this in response to President Roose-
selt's insistence this legislation is one
4 three matters demanding prompt
bction by Congress. the others being
'Ahe farm and waee-hour bills.
The reorganization measures were
rushedeout of committee in both House
and Senate at the last session in
obedience to White House orders.
50 they might be on the calendar
ready to be taken up as soon as Con-
gress meets
The pending measures are the omni-
bus bill IN the Senate, sponsored by
Chalrman Byrnes of the special Select
Oommlttee. which includes provisions
ipr reorganizing agencies of the Gov
ernment. extending the classified civil
service. establishing a general auditing
ofhce and a Department of Welfare;
the House bill, sponsored by Repre-
sentative Mead of New York, to es-
thblish the civil service administration.
to extend the merit system and to
extend the classification act of 1928,
and the House bill, sponsored by Rep
resentative Vinson of Kentucky. to
revise the audit and control system
and set up new Office Of auditor
general.
Chairman Byrnes Of the Joint Re-
organization Committee, Chairman
Cochran of the House Committee and
Chairmen Mead and Vinson Of their
respective subcommittee have all dis
closed they will make 4 drive and
expect to get passed all of these bills
very soon after Congress assemblies.
Ready for Fight.
The opposition, however. headed by
Chairman Byrd of the original Gov
ernment Study Committee in the in
terests OF economy and efficiency;
Senator McNary of Oregon, ranking
minority member of the Joint Reor-
kanization Committee. and Represen-
tatives Taber of New York and Clifford
OF Massa chusetts. minority members
Of the House Committee. are all pre-
pairing to fight the administration
proposals. Senator Byrd is engaged
IN drafting minority report to the
Byrnes bill, on which he expects sup
port not only from Republicans but
from several prominent Democratic
Senators.
Representative Mead said he is con-
fldent his bill to reorganize the Civil
Service into a real merit system"
will be passed by the House without
serious opposition, in spite Of the
fact that Chairman Rsmspeck Of the
Civil Service Committee and other
Democratic members who have given
special attention to civil service leg
islation for many years hare had no
part in drafting the pending bill. and
are known to be not friendly to it.
The Republican leadership in the
House has bitterly attacked the pro-
posal as one to throw the entire
personnel service of the Nation into
a political grab bag"

adjourned and has conferred with
many Of his House colleagues from
various sections Of the country and
finds that when he has q chance to
explain his new auditor general bill
to them their opposition to surren-
dering the control by Congress over
expenditures weakens. He claims his
bill gives Congress for the first time
an unbiased report on expenditures by
an impartial agency. which will be
salutary in encouraging q more care
full scrutiny and check in making
appropriations.
Taber Outspoken Foe.
The most vigorously outspoken in
opposition Is Representative Taber,
who was placed on the Joint commit
tee because he is ranking minority
member on the Appropriations Com
mlttee. He will be the principal Re-
publican spokesman in opposition. He
said he "prays an aroused public SEN
timent will. after the recess of Con-
gress. restore to our membership some
of the courage which formerly char
acterized membership In the House
and Senate" He says the Vinson bill
is the crowning glory" of administra-
ton efforts to jam through the reor-
ganization program. He claims It
would abolish the controller general
as an independent auditing agent
and would give an opportunity to the
dictatorship which now prevails in
Washington to 60 ahead without le-
gard for the laws passed by Congress
and regardless Of any Of the safe
guards which free people have set
up to protect themselves from the
illegal expenditure of funds"

Must Develop Short Game.
'NHOST folks don't spend enough
AVA

"MOST folks don't spend enough
time on the practice tee any
way" said Fred. And when they do
practice they go at it in the wrong
way. Instead of spending hours out
there whacking out driver shots and
long iron shots, they'd get more benefit
if they'd take chipping club and a
putter and spend their time on and
around the practice green. Sure the,
long shots pack the biggest thrill in'
the game for most of us, but If you
can't pitch and chip and putt what
good is lengthy tee shot? You can
wallop 'em $50 yards down the alley,
but if you can't do anything else you'n
wind up in the pay-off booth. The lad
who can chip and putt is the lad who
gathers in the dough. No one can
afford to neglect the short game angles
of golf, for that's where you do your
scoring, or lose your chance to score.
And I see S, many of our friends
go at it too strenuously for the first
few days After long time without
swinging a club, they go out and
whack away for an hour or two and
then come in complaining of sore
hands and sore muscles. They'd be
