President Roosevelt told a press
conference today the administra-

ending the practice of giving Gov
ernment jobs in payment of polit-

That was his comment on a
speech by Attorney General Murphy
at Asbury Park, N. j., last night.
Mr. Murphy urged that this practice
be stopped and also proposed a
$1,000, 100000 cut in the public pay
rolls, Federal. State and municipal.

Addressed Rotary Club
Last Evening.

Miss Chestine Knight, teacher of Eng
lish and Latin in the Ely schools, who
spent seven months last year in Eng
land, spoke to the Rotary club at its
meeting last evening.
The International Relations Com
mittee had charge of the program and
Miss Knight gave her impressions of
conditions and customs in England in
"a very entertaining manner She has
two sisters in London whom she visited
and thus was able to CLEAN more in
formation than she would otherwise,
had she been there as total stranger
She cited the difference in trans
portation in that country with our
transportation system and spoke of the
compartment plan in particular and
the duties of conductors compared to
the duties of this official in America
She dwelt on the two layer" buses.
This name is given to the double deck
buses Of the city streets. She also told
of the taxi cabs. In her description of
English homes she stated that no
matter how many rooms in house, all
rooms had door leading to hall and
were not inter-connected like rooms in
American homes.
She spoke of the food served and
compared it to the American food in
the cafes and eating houses While she
said that the English were a reserved
race amongst themselves they were not
so with Americans. Letters received
from her sisters, she said, told of the
blackoutS, gas masks and other war
measures.
Miss Knight was introduced by Presi-
dent Hanson who also warmly compli-
mented her on her address at its close.
Frank DiNino led the club in singing
and the club pianist, Peggy McMahan,
played the accomplishments.
