much dirt in one day. think 1t Is high time you went to some good school and took a post graduate course in housekeeping" I went on to tell him how much wood left there last fall and pointed out how much was there now. He had nothing to say, only that he bor- rowed some coal from one of the other cabins One fisherman IS minus three sacks, and another, one sack. Where it went, they, of course, can't prove. The place must have been cased earlier or, possibly, last fall after fishing season, for no sane man would go up there to camp in the spring without taking fuel along
 While I was face to face with this Juneau Sportsman, he did not have common politeness enough to thank me for the use of the cabin, or for the wood he used, or even offer to return any to make up for what he used. 4
 I informed him that ne would have to move, and he said he would right away, and he did. However, after I left and went out fishing, he must have had a change of heart, for the next day went to my cabin to see what shape it was in, and, as the old saying goes, to give the devil his due, and, with all due respect, etc. etc. to the Gen tleman Sportsman, I found he had swamped it out minus the seal oil and stink, and I found a note on the stove which read in part, and as they say on the radio, quote: Thanks a lot for the use of your cabin If owe you anything for it, let me know in Juneau. Thanks, again.
 Signed ------" Unquote.
 After going in my cabin without permission, burning my wood, foul ing the place up with seal oil and dirt, and never offering to thank me in person, he has the unmitigat- ed gall to come back in this note and say IF CD I owe you any thing ,! I have been amply repaid in the knowledge I gained as to just what true Sportsman is, or at least puts himself up to be. Understand, of course, this does not apply to the fraternity as whole.
 A year ago last fall, put a pad lock on the door, but found it broken open in the spring. Last fall, I nailed a board across the door to keep the Taku from bust ing it off the hinges. The board had to be pried off to get in. If this Sportsman had displayed one one hundredth part of the appre- citation for my cabin as do for the seals he shot, it would have look ed like million dollars instead of garbage dump with the essence of a whaling station thrown in, but I guess that is one phase of his kind of Sportsmanship.
 It is a big asset to the fisher

) Civil Service Chiefs
Aqree on Revision Of
Efficiency Ratings
Details Not Decided On;
Change Of System to Be
Made Before March, 1850
By Joseph Young

The three civil service COM
missioners have reached an agree
ment to overhaul the Govern
ment's efficiency rating system.
This was disclosed last night
by Civil Service Commissioner
Frances Perkins in a speech be-
fore the Society for Personnel
Administration.
Miss Perkins said final details
have yet to be worked out, but
that she and her colleagues agree
the present rating system of "un-
satisfactory" fair" good" very
good" and excellent should be
discarded.
Miss Perkins, who has advo-
Gated rating employees only as
satisfactory" or unsatisfactory
indicated the new system will be
somewhat along this line, al
though good" may be used in
stead of satisfactory" to comply
with the law. Congress has
designated the use of good" in
connection with efficiency ratings
to determine veterans preference.
For Use Next Year.
The fact that the three COM
missioners have agreed to change
the system marks a great per-
sonal victory for Miss Perkins
For many months she has advo-
Gated the change. While the
canges will not 60 into effect in
time for this years ratings on
March 81. they are certain to
be made in time for the March
81, 1850, efficiency ratings.
Miss Perkins also declared she
favors the Hoover Commission
proposal that efficiency ratings
be used, not as a factor in dis
missing employees, but as a means
of effecting a better working re-
lationship and understanding be-
tween an employe and his super
visor. She did not indicate, how
ever. what her two colleagues
thought of this recommendation
and whether it would be adopted
Character Tests Urged.
Miss Perkins spoke before one
of the largest crowds ever to at
tend a meeting of the Society for
Personnel Administration. The
Archives Auditorium was crowded
with standees and many persons
were turned away. Some of her
observations on the Federal serv-
ice were:
l. Some system should be
worked out whereby Government
employees could obtain slight dis
counts" on their transportation,
purchase of books and tickets for
theaters and concerts.
2. BY and large. the salaries
paid to Government personnel are
good and provide a decent stand
ard of living.
3. Civil service exams should be
