Mutiny flared on the campus OF
George Washington University to-
day when a group of male students
all members Of the Every Man a
King ub'-threatened to place a
supreme king on the thorne at the
homecoming ball tomorrow night
Every year, said the club, the uni
versity has had a home coming
queen, but the merest suggestion OF
king has brought feminine-in-
spired disapproval.
From its hideaway, the club dis
patched picture of the king-to-be
but refused to disclose his identity
because it feared feminine pressure
would be brought on him to with
draw.
For every queen we demand q
king" the mutineers said.
Voting for Queen Goes On.
Undisturbed by this counter move
university undergraduates continued
to flock to the polls In the Student
Club to cast their votes for the
university sweetheart" who will
be crowned home coming queen at
the ball at the Mayflower Hotel to-

Completing two days Of oral tes-
timony on methods Of improving
personnel administration, Presi-
dent Roosevelt's special committee
headed by Justice Stanley F. Reed
of the Supreme Court turned today
to consideration of the report that
will embody its recommendations.
Aiming at program that has as
its objective the building of careers
in Government by bringing several
thousand professional, technical
and higher-grade administrative po-
sitions under civil service, the COM
mittee wound up its session at the
Supreme Court late yesterday by
hearing representatives of the Ma
tional Lawyers Guild argue for the
inclusion of attorneys in the COM
petitive service. In some agencies,
lawyers are subject to civil service.
but there is a sharp difference Of
opinion in the Government as to the
feasibility of this method of select
ing legal staf1s.
Ordway speaks.
Samuel H. Ordway, jr., q former
member Of the Civil Service Com.
mission, was one of the guild spokes.
men yesterday, and said his organ..
ization is strongly in favor of civil
service. He declared also that the
oral tests which the commission is
using NOW in some instances to sup
plement written examinations is
producing a more efficient class Of
employe than was possible under a
system providing for written tests
only, as it gave a chance to appraiss
personal factors.
Charles Gordon, the other repre-
sentative of the guild, emphasized
that appointment of lawyers
through civil service was desirable
because it meant permanence Of
employment. At present, he com.
mented, changes in administration
bring wholesale displacement Of
attorneys" in the Department Of

Roosevelt 10 Speak
Nov. IS al Jefferson
Memorial Ceremony
Corner Stone to Be Laid:
Construction Will Be
Ropid From Now On

Plans have been completed for
simple ceremonies to lay the corner
stone of the new Jefferson Memorial
on the Tidal Basin Wednesday, No.
vember Is. when President Roose-
welt will ofiiciate and speak,,
According to the present program,
the only other person to participate
will be Stuart G. Gibboney of New
York City, chairman of the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial Commission. He
will introduce The President.
The ceremonies are scheduled to
start promptly at 2:30 PIN.
Construction of the memorial,
which was inspected by President
Roosevelt Wednesday, has proceeded
to the point where it is expected to
show It's most rapid progress from
now on. Several crafts, including
120 men. are at work on the build
ing, pushing ahead on marble. steel,
concrete, electric fixtures, plumbing
and heating.
Walls to Rise Rapidly.
Marble walls now are we'll above
ground and will rise at a rapid rate,
according to officials of the National
Park Service, which is executive
agent for the Memorial Commission.
The steel towers now prominent
on the site, it was explained, are
only work towers for the purpose Of
setting the marble and will be dis
mantled when the stone building Is
complete.
The memorial is to cost 5000 600
and probably will be ready for dedi-
cation in January, 194l. 1t is to
contain a bronze statue of Jeffer-
son, but a sculptor for this work has
not yet been selected.
Into the cornerstone, it is under
stood, will be placed important docu-
ments with which Jefferson was
intimately associated, or at least
their copies. One of the articles
may be Jefferson's private Bible.
Kept Only Jesus Sayings.
Jefferson compiled his Bible, ac-
cording to historians, by cutting all
the direct quotations of Jesus say
ings out of the Bible and discarding
the remainder of the holy volume
with the remark that Jesus say
ings compared to the rest Of the
Bible are like a diamond in a dung
heap"
Historians interpret this to mean
that he considered the apostles
Celebrations on Jesus sayings only
detracted from their worth and sub
stance.
The cornerstone Is a marble piece
six feet high and five feet wide.
Meanwhile. Park Service officials
said that the memorial was about
20 per cent complete at the present
time. This estimate includes the
foundation, which has been COM
pleted.. The superstructure of the
memorial is about 10 per cent fin-
ished, they said. Reinforced con-
crete work on the superstructure
has been completed in readiness for
brick masonry, which is to back the
marble facing. They said that no
work has been done as yet on the
dome.

And then she was of to the Gamma house with Carol for the final Combine meeting.
 There were 16 fraternities and sororities in the Combine and each sent a delegate or two to discuss last minute plans. There was plenty to be done.
 Independent voters who had no particular interest in the election were to be rounded up and offered rides to the voting booths in autos communicated for the purpose. Girls who were outstanding and popular in the dormitories were to be picked up in flashy converti- bles, tops down, to help draw the dormitory vote.
 Pluggers were named to stop at the larger mems boarding houses and reminded them to vote. For the right candidate, of course.
 Dan Webber was just coming downstairs when the meeting broke up. He caught her eye across the room and waved. But she was busy talking to three people at once and barely acknowledged the greeting. She fairly flew over to Keith when he came out to ask him if she could have the car the next day.
 Dan was on the verge of going over but changed his mind. In- stead he walked out on the Gam mas rambling porch and let the cool night air hit him full in the face.
 He sat down on the stone ledge and damned his hands in his pock- cts. Maybe he was wrong about her. Maybe he could like her :. just as Keith said he would, sooner or later.
 He could not deny there was something about her that was magnetic. It was more than her beauty, too. She was fresh, vibrant, different from any girl he had ever known.
 He would liked to have talked with her a couple of minutes. But it was apparent she had avoided him . hardly had noticed his wave. Come to think of it, she hadn't even waved back. Just half nodded.
 So what? What else could he expect? Keith was taking her home, of course. She thought the sun rose and set on Keith Rhodes. All girls did. Still, she was dif- ferent, wasn't she .?
 Forget it, he told himself. But it wasn't so easy, and for that he was angry with himself.
 But what he didn't know was that she had looked around for him. Looked rather anxiously, at that.

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Discoverer of Rodiun Was Too Poor to Buy lt

WHEN Pierre and Marie Curie " discovered radium, in 1898, the world hailed their achieve- ment. They were awarded the Nobel prize and Pierre Curie was given a professorship at the Uni- versity of Paris, a post to which his widow was elected after his death in 1906. After the World War, however, Mime. Curie saw her research nearing an end be- cause she could not afford to buy the radiurn necessary for her ex- periments.
 The cost was prohibitive- S100,000 a gram. Had the Curies patented their discovery, she would have had ample funds, but they preferred to work for sci- ence. Their findings, and the benefits that were to come from the use of radium, belonged to the world.
 The women of America heard of Mime. Curie's need. Thousands of contributions poured in. When the famed French scientist arrived n United States in 1921, Presi- dent Harding presented her with gram of radium, a lasting gift made possible by those contribu- tions. In 1929 another gift of $50,- 900 was made to her.
 The discoverers of radium are shown above on the Panama stamp, compulsory on all mail, to provide funds for the battle against cancer.
