Young people in quest of Govern

afternoon by Civil Service Commits

taking examinations to get on as
many eligibility lists as possible.
Speaking before 200 students at

mission advised the students to
specialize and to keep posted on
what examinations are being given.
Mr.. Flemming said that, con-
trary to public opinion, Civil Service
status does not insure permanent
jobs to inefficient employees He
explained that it was comparatively
simple to fire an employe whose
work was below standard.
The students asked Mr.. Flemming
many questions about Government
employment following his address.

Few Inspections.

The gross inadequacy Of the
boards small inspection force in
checking 1900 liquor establishments
is self-evident. Dealers report fire.
quencies of inspection ranging from
none in six years to an average of
three in some instances and one
generally.
Window displays in liquor stores
reflect the lack of board inspection
as does also the extensive pint and
half-pint bootlegging of tax-paid
liquor after midnight. Display of
goods improperly stamped by having
stamps affixed willy-nilly-even on
the back of bottles-instead of on
front as required can be noted within
three blocks of the boards office.
One bottle had no District stamp.
There can be no doubt that the
absence of adequate A. B. G. Board
inspection contributes greatly to the
anti-social aspect of liquor condi-
tions here. Loopholes if minimum
size OF container restrictions as well
as maximum quantity retail sales
limits aid chiselers.
