About two years ago when it was

venture failed to show the expected
results. When the WPA money be-

Commissioner Danaher pointed
out that there is constant
demand for trained domestic work.

nomical and efficient operation than
a review of every case each six
months by a temporary staff re-
cruited for this work only.
Files Kept
Separate files are being set up
containing standard forms on which
a full statement of the family re-
sources Of each worker are shown.
Each Of these forms will be exam
ined and reviewed at some time
during each six-month interval. In
formation will be obtained from the
worker himself, from former en-
ployers, social agencies, and others
in order to determine whether or
not there has been a change In his
eligibility for work relief. Those
found not to be in need will have
their eligibility cancelled.
In most states the investigation
will be made by regular WPA adj
ministrative personnel. A few states
have submitted plans for having this
work done by the local relief agency
which certifies relief cases for WPA
employment.

HEAVY VOTE ON
MONDAY SOUGHT

Hartford, Conn.,, Sept. rs. (UP)-
Republican State Chairman Ben
jamin E. HARDWOOD today urged party
leaders in small towns holding cleo
lions Monday to bring out a heavy
vote in preparation for the critical
1910 national and state elections.
This year." Chairman Harwood
wrote to small-town Republican
leaders, although an off-year, it is
necessary to carry on your good
work. The momentum already at
tanned must be continued in anti
cipation Of the 1910 election, which
will be one of the most critical cleo
tons in the history of our country.
THE little state of Connecticut
has secured national prominence
during the last eight months. Every
thing possible must be done to show
country that Connecticut is proud
of and standing squarely behind its
elective officials"

job. But what earthly good would
be doing by staying here, as long as
the House isn't doing any business?"
A number Of congressman have
begged reporters not to publish the
fact that they were leaving Washing
ton, so that constituents wouldn' t
accuse them of running out on a
crisis.
The mere fact that Congress has
come back into session has helped
the atmosphere down here. Until
Congress returned, the general ia
talistic assumption that we're in
evitably going to get into this war
no matter how hard we try to stay
out of it" was so thick in Washing
ton you could cut it with knife.
Congress is so definitely in a nom
warlike mood that that sort of talk
has greatly subsidized. This, any way
you look at it, is an encouraging de-
velopment.
AMATEURS PRESENT
CRISIS SOLUTIONS
While Congress waits for something
definite to work on, all sorts of vol
unteerS are coming forward to help
get the world out of its crisis.
One woman called the office of a
leading isolationist senator and said
she was willing to sa crifice herself
to restore peace. Years ago, she said,
she had offered the state of Massa-
chusetts to let it electrocute her in
place of Sacco and Vanzetti. Massa-
chusetts had turned her down; but
now she was willing to let herself be
burned at the stake, in public, If
England, France and Germany would
call the war off. She hung up when
the senator's secretary wanted to
know just why this startling sacrifice
would lead the statesmen in those
countries to decide that their war
aims had been achieved.
Another woman came to town with
the proposition that committee of
10 or Is American mothers be chosen
to make a peace tour of Europe. It
was her idea that these mothers try
the chancelleries first and make a di-
rect appeal for peace. If that didn't
work-and she admitted it probably
wouldn't-she would have them set
right out for the battlefields and put
in their appearance amid the shot
and shell. The general idea seemed
to be that when they all got killed
the world would be shocked into call
ing the war off.

the legislators who hurried here for
the opening session have gone back
to their homes again. This is espe-
cially true on the House side. That
body's plan is to convene once every

PAAuthorities Plan
Usual Investigations
New Procedure Calls for Review of Various Projects
on Merit-Arrangement Found More Economical

The periodic investigation Of need
OF WPA workers required under the
current WPA Appropriation Act has
begun in many states and will be in
full swing throughout the country
by October /, Colonel F. c. Har-
rington, works projects commission
er, announced today.
Every person on WPA must sub
init at least once every six months
to a re-examination of his eligibility
for work relief, Colonel Harrington
explained. If his status Is found to
be changed through the acquisition
Of new resources he will be dropped
from the rolls.
Plans Submitted
Plans for conducting the survey
have been submitted to Washington
by most state WPA Offices, the
commissioner said and In many in
stances investigative work already
has begun. 1t is expected that the
remaining states will have complet-
ed their plans and started investi-
cations by October I, at the latest.
A, similar review conducted be-
tween February Is and March Is
of this year, when there were ap-
proximately 100000 persons on
the rolls, resulted in the dismissal Of
37,304, or Is percent as being not
in need. The numbers to be dis
missed during the first month Of the
present investigation are not ex-
pected to be as large, Colonel Har-
rington said, since the employment
quota for September and October
is only 100000.
The investigating procedure is
being integrated with the regular
administrative routine of each
WPA office, Colonel Harrington
said, and will be continued through
out the year, to review a certain
number of cases each month. This,
