Dust With Paper

A new busting paper lately intro
duced can boast of triple virtues
since it cleans and polishes at the
same time that it removes the dust.
The paper is much more practical
and sanitary than cloths, SO keep an
eye out for it the next time you go
shopping.

The bill, which is lengthy, pro-
vides for civil service board of
three members and director.
the board members cannot draw
in excess of $3.50 a year and the
directors salary is fixed at $4,000
year. Experience and fitness,
rather than education, are more
prime requisites for most posit-
ions, according to the terms of the
bill. This bill is being hotly con-
tested as this is written Friday
and may still be on the floor of
the house where amendment after
amendment is expected to satisfy
all whims and fancieS.
While the committee that spent
many days and nights drafting the
bill does not claim it a perfect bill
little change is expected. Success
sive legislatures will undoubtedly
find revamping necessary after
the bill has had a trial.

Governments on the Lookout
for Some Bright College Boys

Washington (F) More than ever
before in peace time the govern
ment is going after bright young
men from the COLLEGES to fill its
fighting planes and laboratories.
The government is expanding
its pursuit of the arts of war side
by side with its pursuit of the arts
of peace.
To man the 5000, rev planes
the air corps expects to buy dur
ing the next two years will re-
quire not only $4,000 extra en-
listed men from outside the col
leges, but 1000 more officers,
most of them college men.
At the same time the depart
ment of agriculture is reaching
out for LOO bright young college
men,. It wants to get that many
probably within the next year to
begin hunting in four new labora-
tories for new uses to which sur
plus cotton, corn, wheat or pota-
toes can be put. They also will
seek uses for crops which can re-
place those Of which we now have
too much.
The selection plan has not been
worked out but it probably will
be something akin to the system
which the bg technical industries
such as General Electric, General
Motors and Chrysler motors use
in searching out expert help.
These companies take selected
students fresh from the campus
and give them jobs in the COM
pany plants to learn the business.

Filters A Problem
More complicated is the method
of selecting Army filters. The
Army couldn't absorb 1000 new
filters all at once even if it could
train them. 1t would put disas-
trous hump in the promotion
system to take in so many all at
once. Many would serve for years
