It is true that the dweller in Man- hattan mukes his motions more or less automatically and has © r- able difficulty explaining how he makes them. It is much like a man who along whistling and, suddenly inter- rupted, is asked the tune. Rarely can he name it. Thus the New Yorker knows ex- tactly how to get to a certain corner in the Wall Street belt, or how to find a colorful hidden cafe on the East Side.

The instructions as issued by the secretary of the interior follow in part: “I wish to bring to the attention of our inspectors some suggestions |which it is believed will be of ad- vantage to the service and ultimately to the credit of the government we represent. “The rule of conduct for every in- spector of the department of the in- terior should be with the single |thought of how best he can improve the service. Inspectors can not be of real less they approach the pub- jtic and discharge their duties in a spirit of open-minded, helpful and constructive co-operation. “Inspectors who lose sight of the high purpose of government by fol- lowing technicalities in procedure which hamper or prevent the citizen in securing those benefits which it is the intent of the law he should have, bring about a loss of confidence and respect for the administration of the law. . “They should bear in mind the average claimant or applicant pre- sents his case. in Roce faith and, when it is found during the course of an investigation they are not com- plying with the law or regulations, advice and assistance should be given. “Inspectors should inform appli- cants that the department will Yelp and advise all persons who come to it in good faith and that it will not knowingly, as has been too often charged, tuke advantage of uninten- tional failure to comply with some regulations that might be corrected.” | Radio’s Rialto | OO (By The Associated Press) Old time songs will again take the air at 8:45 p.m. trom WACU (284), Philadelphia, worth of a motion picture, that criterion on “The Girl of the Limberlost” and “The Keeper of the Bees.” When, added to that name, a sterling cast enacts the roles and the clever direction of J.
