Cooperation

live his life alone His theory is that by working with his fell
lows he accomplish for himself and for them than
by working independently.
Cooperative organizations demonstrated their worth in

Arlington Officials
Assure Treasurer
Audit Will Be Made
Honrohun and Chew
Declare Check Was
Delayed PurposeIy

Arlington County Manager .ank
C. Hanrahan and Chairman F,
Freeland Chew of the County Board
denied today that there was any
! question about an audit OF the
county's books this year.
In reply to a letter from County
Treasurer John Locke Green call
ing attention to the fact the audit
has not yet been authorized, Mr..
Hanrahan said funds have been in
cluded in the current years budget
for the audit, as in the past, and
one proposal already has been re-
ceived.
1T had been decided to wait until
the end of the fiscal year, which
ended Monday, before starting the
audit" he said. There never has
been any question that the usual
audit would be made"
Mr.. Green's letter was described
by Mr. Chew as lust another feeble
attempt to further his own political
intentions by attempting to confuse
the public mind by raising false is
sues"
There has been an audit made
every year since I've been a member
of the County Board" he declared,
land there will be one this year at
such time as we decide to order
it, but wisdom and sound business
practice justify us in waiting until
the close of the fiscal year before
beginning work on it."
Mr.. Green's letter read in part:
Always in the past, the County
Board has made arrangements to
audit the books of various county
units prior to June 30, the end OF
the fiscal year. My information is
that no arrangements so far have
been consummated by the board
and that no report has been filed
before the County Board by the
county manager to this end.
LAS treasurer, handling millions
of dollars of public money, I de-
sire that an audit be made of this
office. Moreover, it would seem
that to fail to audit the books OF
the sundry county units might lead
to an unexplainable situation. This
audit should be authorized and or
dered by the board at its next regu-
lar meeting"

The Major Who Wanted to Send His Son to West Point
The Bomb|ebushes Learn That Officer Living Here
Hos Chance OF Fmdnqo

You can try him first" says the
informant.
An official explains the law to the
BramblebuSheS. He tells them that
the law provides that six appoint
ments are made from each State at
large (SenatoriaD three from each
congressional district; five from the
District of Columbia; three from
natives of Puerto Rico; one from the
Canal Zone, 180 from the enlisted
strength of the Regular Army and
the National Guard and 172 from
the United States at large.
Three of the 172, he explains, are
Vice Presidential nominees, 40 are
from honor military schools and 40
from sons of veterans killed in the
World War.
No. Luck.
The official also tells them that
West Point has averaged l80 men
below its authorized strength of
1850 for the last 10 years.
The Army is so anxious for officer
material, he says, that it has gotten
through the Senate bill to allow
the Secretary of War to fill vacan-
cies from alternate candidates. The
bill, he explains, resembles one that
has given that power to the Secre-
tary of the Navy for years.
Remembering Rep. Blank, Maj
Bramblebush asks, But will the
House pass it?"
The official, who knows a political
plum when it hangs. from the pa
tronage tree, doesn't want to be
quoted on this, he tells the Bramble-
bushes, but the indefatigable major
finds out the War Department is
expecting trouble in the House.
Algernon Bramblebush wasn't
among the youths who took their
West Point examinations week
ago. But the Bramblebushes aren't
losing hope.
That's why you're liable to see
them walking hand in hand down
the Capitol corridors. No, they're
not tourists.

things, discovers that the District
is allowed five cadets year, to be

Canvass Begins.
"The Commissioners certainly
have five personal friends who want
their sons to 60 to West Point"
he points out to Mrs. Bramblebush.
And besides, we're not the only
ones in the service with sons of
the right age Why, the District
has got the greatest concentration
of sons of Army and Navy officers
in the country. Then there are
all the other fathers who want to
see their sons 90 to West Point"
Mrs. Bramblebush decides to make
a list.
I'VE met Representative Blank
at cocktail party last week, "she
murmurs. He might do something
for u.s. And wasn't that Senator
you were talking to after dinner at
the MacSweeneys the other night?"
The Bramblebushes take Algernon

Algernon Is a likely looking youth,
his parents can't help boasting a
little about his scholastic standing
and the way he can carry a foot
ball.

Representative Blank tilts back
in his swivel chair and appears to
be listening. Actually, his thoughts
stray to one Joe Brown back home.
Joe, ST., is a vote getter and he's
already indicated that the county
will be in the palm of Represen-
