By PROF. J. d. FLINT.
Befuddlinq Bottles

An ore assayer kept a supply of
u bottles always on hand. They
contained the dust of precious met
ais. He had a square compartment
which revolved on a shelf in his
basement for the supply and the
compartment was divided into eight
divisions in each of which he kept
nine bottles. A supposedly trust
worthy caretaker kept the place in
order and when the assayer in
spected the supply he only glanced
at the row of compartments on the
outside of the shelf and noted
whether or not the usual 81 bottles
were present in the row. AS it hap
pened he couldn't see the divisions
to tell whether or not there were
nine in each of the three divisions
nearest him so he just counted
across. The caretaker was not trust
worthy and he stole four bottles on
each of four occasions and rear
ranged the rest so that the assayer
was fooled by his way of judging.
How did the caretaker rearrange
the bottles in the three divisions
each time?

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June GA
City Council Committee took up con-
sideration today of a proposal to
change the name of venerable
Harvard Square to George Washing

Councilman Henry D. Wilson that
approval of the motion would lead
everybody to regard the councilmen
as "a bunch of looms"

John Harvard. for whom the uni

country"
Although not directly concerned
in the controversy. Harvard COM
mentators said today that Council

fused on his history because John
Harvard came to nearby Charles

3H-Doy Holiday Over July 4
Ordered by President
All Employees Included Except Those Who
Cannot Be Spared; Some Stores May Close

Government employees will be ex-
cused from work Monday. July 8.
President Roosevelt signed in
Hyde Park today an executive order
which set Monday aside as holiday
for Government workers, making it
possible for these employees to take
holiday from l pm. Saturday,
July l, until Wednesday morning,
July S.
The order will concern all en-
ployes, including per diem workers,
except those who cannot be spared
and those whose absence from duty
would be inconsistent with the pro-
visions of existing law.
The order will make possible this
vacation for not only the employees
of the Federal Government in
Washington, but throughout the
country. AS has been the custom
in the past, the District Commits
sioners will follow the Presidents
example and extend this order to
employees of the District government.
The executive order follows:
BY virtue of the authority vested
in me as President of the United
States, it is hereby ordered as fol-
lows:

and other governmental agencies in

Appeals Court Voids
n. |. R. B. Order
For Election
Run-Off Is Set Aside
On A. F. l. PIeo in
Fight With c. |. o.
BY the Associated Press.

CINCINNATI. June 28.-In one
of the first high court decisions
bearing on A. F. of Lie. I. o. strife,
the Sixth United States Circuit
Court of Appeals today unanimously
set aside a National Labor Relations
Board order for a run-off election
to determine the bargaining agent
for 5000 employees of the Consumers
Power Co. of Jackson, Mich.
The case came before the tribunal
on petition by the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
CA. F. of L. to enjoin the run-off.
1t was an offshoot of a N. L. R. B.
cease and desist order issued against
Consumers Power as a result of al
legged violations of the Wagner Act.
The company has appealed this and
arguments will be heard next fall.
The board held an election at the
plant shortly after the appeal in
January. The Utility Workers Or
ganizing Committee &C. I. o. re-
ceived 1.160 votes, the Brotherhood,
1,072, but 506 workers wanted
neither union.
The N. L. B. granted the U. w. o.
c. request for run-of but put on
the ballot only a choice between the
U. w. o. G. and no union. This
policy, it told the court. prevented
men who wanted no union from
having one forced down their
throats."
The brotherhood demanded run
off between the two unions instead.
Its counsel declared the method
proposed by the board was "a repe-
tition of those elections which have
darkened the pages of history"
I'VE think the order was illegal
and that the proposed election was
unfair in effect" said Judge Ken
Hicks decision, in which Judges
Florence E. Allen and Charles
Simons concurred.

Rumania Strengthening
buIgar, Magyar Borders
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, June 28.-Declar-
ing that Rumania is rearming on an
unprecedented scale, Premier Ar
mand Calinescu told the Chamber
Of Deputies today that large-scale
Notifications were being built on
the nations borders, which Hungary
and Bulgaria want to alter.
These borders, the Premier said,
are "immovable." He stated that
the government had spent 25,0O0,-
0O0, 900 lei ($175, 900 ,000) in the last
four months for war materials.
(Rumania's 1889 defense budget,
for land, sea and air forces, was H.
300 900 900 lei ($82, 900 000)
"All those who think majority
problems can be solved by foreign
Intervention are very wrong" Ca
linescu said. There can be no ter
ritorial problem. Our frontiers will
remain immovable as long as there
remains a single Rumanian soldier
able to hold a rifle in his hand"
He declared that in Transylvania

cover, more than 1,500 900 900 lei

ment, except those who may for spe-
cial public reason be excluded from
the provisions of this order by the
heads of their respective depart
ments, establishments or agencies,
or those whose absence from duty
would be inconsistent with the pro-
visions of existing law, shall be ex-
cuSed from duty on that day.
%. This order shall be published
in the Federal Register"
None of the city's principal stores
will close Monday as a result of the
Presidents order. Edward D. Shaw.
secretary of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, said
this afternoon. Neither do the city's
banks plan to close Monday.
Mr.. Shaw pointed out that the
large department stores will inaug-
urate summer Saturday closings
next week and to close Monday would
mean three days without business
during the week. The firms usually
experience large volume of sales
on the day before a holiday, he
added.
In proposing the extra holiday, it's
advocates pointed out to the Presi-
dent that the Government establish
ments suffered to some extent IN
the matter of absent employees last
month when Memorial Day like In
dependence Day, fell on Tuesday.
1nasmuch as the Monday preceding
Memorial Day was not a holiday,
the employees were required 10 re-
port back to work Monday and were
granted the legal holiday the follow
ing day, and then required to report
back the day following Memorial
Day. Many employees took annual
leave so as to have the three-and-
one-half-day holiday at that time.
