} st. N. W., had two ambitions she
was considering before she joined
the GAO. staff two years ago. She
thought career as a nurse would
be more than interesting but at the
same time entertained latent de-
sire to become hostess for one of
the commercial airlineS.
Fate decreed that she should be.
come record typist with the Gov.
ernment, however, and she has no
regrets for the way matters have
turned out, being happy in her
present position and having made
numerous friends among fellow
workers.
Miss Vilkaitis is native OF
Avon Park, Fla, where she at.
tended high school, and is a mem
ber of the Florida State Society of
Washington. Before entering the
Government she studied nursing
at Garfield Memorial Hospital
here and is a member of the

Trio Gives Up Careers
For Jobs i'm u. S.

Except for the fact that they
have become highly efficient en-
ployes of Uncle Sans civilian
service, Joseph Devine, Anna
Moulton and Mary Vilkaitis, Of
the General Accounting Office
would have entered the varied
fields of accountancy, teaching,
nursing and commercial aviation.
With the exception of a con-
tinued ambition on the part Of
Mr.. Devine to obtain his account
ants degree, however, the trio has
abandoned original plans in favor
of Government careers, all three
being assigned to the check Sec
ton of the General Accounting
Office Records Division.
Mr.. Devine, who resides at 319
Fifth st. N. E., came to Washing
ton two years ago from his home
in Springfield, Mo-, where he was
graduated from Drury College.
He Immediately obtained a posi-
ton as a record clerk. with G. A.
o. and has remained in that capa-
city ever since, piling up an en-
viable record for efficiency and
making numerous friends.
Seeks C. p. A. Degree
His primary ambition, however,
is to become a certified public ac-
countant and he is now seeking
degree from Southeastern Uni
versity, although he expects to
remain in the Government service
after he has qualified as a buSi.
ness and financial expert.
He is a member of the Curley
Club of Washington, the Missouri
State Society and the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees, en-
joys playing tennis and watching
baseball games, and says his chief
pleasure is travelling when he has
the opportunity.
Anna Moulton, of Seat Pleasant,
Md, thought she would become a
teacher before she received the Op-
portunity to join the General Ac-
counting Offices army of emer-
gency workers appointed when the
New Deal came into being. After
18 months of activity as a record
clerk in the check section, however,
she has found Government work
quite satisfactory and proved her
ability for such work beyond queS-
tion.
Liked Nursing Job
Miss Moulton trained for a Fed
eral career with courses at two
local business schools, following
high school and elementary educa-
ton at Seat Pleasant. Popular
with her colleagues, she enjoys
dancing and swimming as recrea-
tional pastimes during leisure
hours.

VA,AMBULANCE
IN STORAGE
AFTER ROW

ARLINGTON, Va, Feb. "a.
Arlington county's ambulance was
in storage today after County
Manager Frank C. Hanrahan
abruptly ended the sit-down strike
of the Clarendon Rescue Squad by
having the $4,000 apparatus moved
from the fire house to the county
property yard yesterday afternoon.
For % days the volunteer fire
men had refused to operate the
ambulance under an order from
Manager Hanrahan which directed
that all calls for it be first checked
by the sheriff's office.
Caused Delay, Claim
They defended their stand by
stating that police direction of
ambulance runs caused undue de-
lay in emergency calls where the
difference between life and death
may be a matter of minutes.
Manager Hanrahan, on the
other hand, was seeking to elimi-
nate unnecessary ambulance runs
and to give police opportunity to
handle the large number of emer-
gency cases that come under their
Jurisdiction.
His order transferring the am
bulance to the property yard for
temporary storage and any neces-
sary repairs was precipitated by
a letter from Chief Maynard
Saunders of the Clarendon Fire
Company. Saunders asked that
the machine either be put back
in service or moved from the fire
house, where it has been kept since
purchased in January, 1885.
Manager Hanrahan would not
disclose his plans for future opera
ton of the ambulance.
Meanwhile, first aid units Of
the Clarendon Fire Company and
the jefferson District Company
stood ready to answer emergency
calls. The Jefferson Company has
continued to operate its open res
cue wagon during the progress of
the Clarendon squads strike.

The Solid South, heretofore cold
toward merit system methods with
in State governments, has been
penetrated by Civil Service legisla-
ton in two instances since the
current year began. According to
the Civil Service Assembly, a merit
system act has been passed unanl-
mously by both legislative houses
in Tennessee, while Arkansas en-
acted a Civil Service law in Janu-
ary.
The Tennessee act has put teeth
in the six month probationary pc
riod by providing that an employe
is automatically dismissed at the
end of the period unless a written
recommendation is made to the
department head by the personnel
director asking that the worker
be given a regular position. There
is to be no blanketing, either.
Workers to go into classified serv-
ice must take non-competitive
examinations, or else make way
for people selected through open
competitive tests.
In the Arkansas legislation vet
Grams preference has been ruled
out, in addition to rigid residence
restrictions.

room AND KITCHEN:
Out in Woodbridge there is a
little unit of bedroom and kitchen
that should prove interesting to
the small family wanting to keep
within their budget. The rental
is $35, and the drawback is the
bath is not strictly private. How
ever, there is only a very small
family that uses this bath, So I
don't believe there will be any in
convenience. Heat, gas, electricity
are included in the rental, which,
to my way Of thinking, is a very
fine bargain.
GUEST HOUSE ON UPPER
18TH STREET:
If you are looking for q small
guest house with an atmosphere
of dignity and refinement, include
this house on upper 18th Street
in your inspection trip. It is op-
Grated under the personal super
vision of the owner, whose first
thought is the welfare of her
guests. The meals are delicious,
plentiful and of varied menus.
Come in and let me tell you more
about this little guest house be-
fore all the reservations are
closed.
GUEST HOUSE ON 10TH ST.:
Here's a chance to reduce the
waistline, and at the same time
save money. Within 20 minutes
walking distance to downtown,
on beautiful, well-known 18th
Street, one of those lovely old
houses has opened its door to a
few guests. The rooms are huge,
well ventilated, have deep closets.
and will accommodate two or
three persons. All of us like new,
bright furnishings, and in this
particular case they are well
chosen. The rates are moderate,
and in view Of its locality, you
could economiGe on transporta-
ton.

SHARE AN APARTMENT:
This is for the lonely girl who
is far away from home. A young
girl student has a very attractive
two.room, kitchen and bath apart
ment over near Woodbridge that
she would like to share with a
business girl. All the convent
ences are to be found here, even
to g maid to fix your meals and
serve them. AS the young lady
is more desirouS Of companion
ship than anything else, she will
share her apartment very reac
sonably.
MODERNISTIC APIS:
This home is a bit breath-tak-
ing in its loveliness, for as you
cross the threshold you realize
it's many possibilities. 1t is strictly
modernistic in every detail, with
attractive little touches that add
so much to the home and show to
such advantage. The owner has
more room than he actually
needs, so there is a little apart
ment entirely apart from the rest
Of the house that is for rent. It
consists of a living room, bedroom
and bath, with an open-deck
porch. From this porch you have
view of Massachusetts, Avenue
that is most inspiring, and I can
well imagine the pleasure you
would get from this part alone.
Now, this unit is also modernistic
in every way, and some one with
the decorating urge could furnish
it as it should be and get a lot
of fun out of doing it. If you
would like to get light meals the
owner will put in pullman equip
ment, turning it into a house
keeping unit. Unless you are In
search of the unusual, this will
not interest you.

parlors and saloons were respon-
sible for this sad state of affairs.
Since these places are permitted to
operate all night it has caused q
great decrease in church attend

tired to attend church on Sunday.
One other thing / found very de-
pressing there, as well as in other
cities with a large Negro popula-
ton, was the lack of training
among our Negro children. Little
boys and girls are allowed to run

good with the bad makes one won

next generation as the influence of
the bad seems to dominate. Little
