workers were getting to work
that much earlier.
Senator Bridges, did not say
who made the survey. However.
a story appeared in the New
York Times several weeks ago
quoting some unidentified private
contractors working on a road
in Virginia, as stating that
traffic in this area moved 81
minutes earlier in the morning
than before.
James c. Hagerty. White
House press secretary, was asked
today about Miss Adkins state
ment under the new administra-
ton.
He said he had never heard
of any survey.
Regarding coffee breaks. Fed
eral officials say that employees
are probably taking less time
time before, because they don't
want to antagonize their new
bosses. The only agencies that
have banned morning coffee
hours are the Navy Department,
the Bureau of Public Debt in
Treasury Department and some
units of the Justice Department.

Miss Bertha S. Adkins, as
sistant to the chairman of the
Republican National Committee,
told the New York State Repub-
lican dinner meeting last night
that Federal workers are getting
to work a half hour earlier since
the new administration took
over.
Miss Adkins said that en-
ployes also waste less time on
coffee hours"
A check by The Star shows
that Federal employees are still
working an eight-hour day and
most personnel officials say they
are not aware that employees are
starting the day any earlier.
Some agencies, however, have
staggered their work hours to
ease traffic problems and this
may account for some workers
starting the day earlier and
leaving a little earlier, the
officials said.
Recently. Senator Bridges, Re-
publican, of New Hampshire said

The memory Of a grand old
man of the mapleways will be
honored tomorrow with the stag
ing of the third annual Jack
Mooney Handicap at Mount
Rainier.
Mooney was something of an
oddity as bowlerS go. When well
past 10 he retained the skill and
stamina to command respect in
any bowling company. 1t is
doubtful that any other duck
pinnera in the history of the
game, of comparable age, could
have matched him.
But MONEYS personal quail
ties prompted Eli Friedman,
Mount Rainier bowling proprie-
tor, to sponsor the memorial
tournament. The old fellow was
a genuine sportsman, a thorough
going competitor but a stickler
for justice in sports. For many
years a fireman, Mooney was
ever quick to build a fire under
the skullduggerous.
Mooney became SO we'll known
as bowler that many forgot he
once was a notable figure in
sandlot sports. The writer, as a
sort of sandlot Lands in the
early 1920s, came to know
Mooney as "fightin' fool" in
the cause of justice. Victory
was meaningless to him unless
fairly won. He watched over
the Roamer A. c., a brilliant
team of teen-agers, as if every
player were his own son.

Hunting has been excellent
for upland game so far this
season, but the wildf1owers gen.
orally have taken it on the chin,
mainly due to weather. The
ducks definitely are not down as
yet and it is going to take a
hard freeze-up, preferably with
some snow to improve the shoot
ing. Herb Wilkins, Scout execu-
tive, this morning invited us to
participate in quail hunt this
week and gave news of a most
interesting trip. He hunted q
portion of Virginia's Blue Ridge
for grouse, came home with his
limit of quail and a rabbit, but
has yet to kill a grouse. Saw
only three, but quail were plenti-
full.
Here's chance for American
inventive genius to pay off. Last
year, the American Humane As
sociation posted a reward of
$4,000 for the invention of a
humane trap for wild animals.
Several hundred models were
submitted to the contest COM
mittee. Although none won the
award. studies have indicated
that a trap which kills small
animals instantly will be most
humane, while for large animals
the best bet may be a trap that
holds the animal unharmed.
The rules have now been mod
if1ed SO that payment of half
the sum will now be made for a
satisfactory trap for either the
smaller or larger animals, even
if the trap will not encompass
the results for all animals. Also
the original offer for an all
purpose trap still stands.
