 Politics Motive
 i, Some of the former street and water department employees claim that their dislnissals were Inotivated by politics. They have been eager to point out time and again that while several scores of employees were being fired ct the city yards, Superintendent cott.SEnith ap. pointed his own son to . job on the city payroll.
 The aldermanic member of the works board is expected to be AL derman Thomas J. Reidy, Demo. crat. Others mentioned as possible appointees include Charles J. Earth who was dropped as a member of the board of public welfare; John Havino, former Independent Dem. ocratic candidate for controller. 1. Henry J. Bowling, national adver. tising manager of The Democrat; John Phelan, son of the veteran works commissioner, James A. Phe. Ian and Harry x. Cashin. John W Bendler was also mentioned as bee ing considered e possible appointee to the board.

(Continued rom Page D January 23. It was not one of those doubtful "coine and show us what you've got" invitations, but an en. thusiastic bid which c candidate could exhibit with some pride. And Wheeler evidently felt just that way about 1t.
 Lewis and Mir. Roosevelt have been pulling apart for some time but without an open break and none Is suggested here. But 1t is o fact that the man who four years ago was actively organizing sup port for the presidents reelection campaign and preparing to loan and give some $S00,0o0 to the cause is working the other side of the street today.
 MT. Roosevelt scarcely could hold against Wheeler the acceptance of support from a man who had e part in his own great political triumphs. But Lewis support probably would have some disadvantages among the more conservative clement of voters. For Wheeler 1t would be Q signih- cant addition to his convention strength.

400 Cub Scouts Hobby Show
Produces Day Of Fun

Almost everything that an active
boy might make was on exhibit at
the Central High School gymnasium
yesterday as about 400. Cub Scouts
in the National Capital Area Boy
Scout Council staged their third
annual Cub Hobby Show.
Displays ranged from model air
planes Of the wood variety, and
those with tiny, real gasoline motors,
to miniature log cabins, and a xylo-
phone made from suspended bottles
partly filled with water. One corner
of the gymnasium represented an
Indian camp, where the boys in Cub
Pack 414 had set up several full
size tepees around a prop" camp
fire. ,
The hobbies represented were
those of youngsters ranging in age
from 8 to IL years-boys too young
to take part in regular Scout work,
but not too young to want to. The
Cub packs are divided into neigh
borhood "dens," and members of the
various dens are called wolves. bears
and lions when they are 8, 90 and
II years old, respectfully.
Before the exhibit opened yester-
day, the whole crowd Of boys-most
of them dressed in their dark blue
blouses and yellow neckerchiefs-
a shwaut 4 in the sschool audi
torium. One 0f the highlights Of the
show was the antics Of Frank Por-
tillaafernnZ9ircux clown, who WA
