AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

AMEh1CA AL WAX ia ID II -OAA
20 Years Ago Today-Food prices
were climbing back toward the levels
from which they had fallen when the
food dictatorship law went into effect
10 days before.
Corn had fallen off so cents bush
Ell in Chicago. Wheat had declined
four cents, to $2.15, within Is cents of
the minimum imposed by the law.
Pork was now selling higher than
beef or poultry Potatoes were at
$15O a bushel.
Russians began their evacuation of
Riga, as the Germans stuck out a
powerful arm to grasp it as base
for drive to capture Petrograd, 800
miles away by airline. From Riga
there were three roads to the capital.
After silence of nine months, the
word Verdun was again thrilling
France. On the goth, after a bonn
bardment of three days, the French

terrain the Germans had captured in
their great offensive of a year before
together with 10000 prisoners.
This brought the grand total Of
Germans captured in the three years
of war to approximately 100000.
The U. S. had its German prisoners

Inc first session of the SEVENTH
fifth Congress is now a matter of his
tory. During the next few weeks there
will be many reviews of the legisla-
ton enacted and it's effect on the
daily life of our people. Economists
will figure new laws in the light of
the cost to business and industry
Emphasis will be laid on total appro-
priations as compared with Federal
income. And organizations and groups
will begin to form their lines to press
for more legislation when the Con
gross again convenes in January
Few will contend that, from the
standpoint of new legislative accom-
plishments the session just ended was
worthy of great significance But it
can be stated accurately that the SEES
sion was adjusted to the needs of the
people, with the exception of the fail
ure to enact farm legislation, which
is the first order OF business for the
next session.
It can also be said that the Con-
gress met at crucial time in national
affairs. Our people had hardly alb
sorbed the great mass of new laws
enacted during the period of the de-
preston. Recovery was on the way
and is gaining daily. Thus it was for
the best interest of the country that
the Congress adopt the trial and err
ror method of considering legislation.
This was done and it has helped lay
the foundation for the things that
contribute much to the permanent
stability of the country
adjournment found virtually all
members of Congress in agreement
that farm legislation is needed. And
the failure of Congress to put thro-
ugh quickly some law of temporary
character will work out for the best
interest of the farm population. It
means that members will come back
with a fresh view of farm needs, with
talks with "dirt' farmers clearly in
their minds, and with first-hand in
formation on the actual condition on
the farm.
Members of Congress are in agree
ment that the Presidents insistence
that farm legislation be taken up as
the first thing in January is assur-
ance to the farm population that the
condition Of agriculture is of extreme
Importance to the Administration.
There is every reason to believe that
this will meet the demands of farm
spokesman.

York
kJamSes;SAsVeIu

New York, Aug. 25-"You occas-
ionally do little sketches of interest
ing people, writes a reader of the
Trenton State Gazette, 80 I'm send
ing along some stuff about very
unusual and. colorful character. He
isn't strictly Manhattanite, but
maybe he's type that would interest
your readers all over the United
States.
MANY of your readers are as in
terested in their own state fairs as
they are in the Worlds Fair of 1899
that all the columnists are WRITING
about. So that's why I'm telling YOU
about George A. Hamid, who is try
ing to do new kind of State Fair in
New Jersey this year.
Mr. Han1id books weird and start
ling acts into circuses, carnivals, fairs
and what have you. In the last year
he has provided talent for 367 cir
cuses; 1875 amusement parks; 60 con-
ventions; numberless fairs, carnivals.
expositions = everything from high
divers into burning oil to airplane
crash impresarios.
"He thinks the State Fair is going
through marked metamorphosis and
he is, a rival to Billy Rose in his eff
forts to change the type of outdoor
entertainment Americans are accus-
toned to. Instead of the agricultural
exhibits which made up SO per cent
of the State Fairs we saw as children.
Hamid's fair will contain a dozen
acrohats and all varieties of outdoor
rides, games and stunts.
"He is bringing a troupe of dane
ing girls from the Roxy there and
the agricultural exhibits will be back
grounded and sugar-coated by all the
thrills people got in Chicago and will
get in New York. Indeed, the State
Fair of the future may get so far
that people will have to search hard
to find the prize pig in the poke.
"Hamid, thinks people never attend
ed State Fairs to marvel at prize
heifers or extraordinary chickens, bu'
to have a good time. Maybe hes
right"
And from Lowell Mass, comes
this: II was in your town recently
and 1 saw a movie containing a girl
named Louise Hovick, whom you
wrote an interview with once when
she was called Gypsy Rose Lee, the
strip tease artist.
well, sir, couldn't follow the plo'
for marveling at Miss Hovick's grea
dignity, poise and general manner
a lady. L couldn't, l just couldn't i'm
agine her doing a strip tease in bur
lesque. Why, she's almost austere.
You'd better interview her again
I'm sure you had the wrong girl tn
first time. If Hollywood has that ct
feet on girls, why should father
waste time sending them to expensiv
finishing schools"
Ans: Maybe if girls already higl
ly polished and austere, Hollywoo
forks the other way. It's chance n
lther could afford to take, don't yc
hink?

CIVIL SERVICE AIDE
ACCUSES U. S. UNIT
Evasion Through Appointment of
Deputy Collectors Charged to
Internal Revenue.

An evasion of civil service in the
Bureau of Internal Revenue was
charged today by Robert L. john
son. president of the Civil Service
Reform League.
johnson said that appointments
were being made in the position of
deputy collector because they could
be filled on a patronage basis, when
properly the work should be per-
formed by clerical forces taken from
civil service registers.
He pointed out that in the past
year, the number of deputies went
from 4,614 to 1919, while there was
small decrease in the clerical stan.
We assume" he added, that the
collection of pay roll taxes under
the social security act accounts in
large measure for the addition Of
so many employees to the Bureau of
Internal Revenue. We cannot help
but believe, however. that the dis
proportionate increase in the number
Of deputy collectors indicates that
many appointments have been made
under this title to avoid requirements
of competitive examination which
would be required of clerks"
He recommended that deputy COL
lectors be placed under civil service
where they once were.

will arrive here Wednesday morning
from Athena. N. j., where DR.. Will
liam M. Mann, director of the Zoo,
had to leave them in quarantine-be-

Since they are susceptible to the
hoof-andmouth disease, the animals
were housed in the Agriculture De-
partment quarantine station at
Athena for two weeks when DR.. Mann
returned recently from his collecting
trip in which he obtained more than
1000 other animals and birds.
Others in the shipment to arrive
here Wednesday are a goat antelope,
2 pygmy buffalo, 2 Asiatic wild cattle,
S deer, 2 blue sheep and African
buffalo. They are in charge of Frank
Lowe, an assistant head keeper at the
Zoo.
