Before the Senate adopted the Bruce amendment to the merchant marine bill | yesterday to place employes of the Shipping Board under civil service Senators debated the merits of civil service in general and particularly the provision under which positions in_ the Government service are prorated among the States. Senator Swanson, Democrat, of Vir- contended the ~ Government should be able to take the most capable cligibles_on the list without rizard to the States from which they -ome. He said that under the apportionment | method a man from Maryland, Vir- ginia or the District of Columbia might give way to one lower on the list if the quota from his State or from the District happened to be filled. Senator Swanson inquired what effect the amendment would have on present clerks in the Shipping Board. Senator Bruce said it would appiy oniy to ap- the merchant marine law | Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, ! declared the civil service system has been a fallure. to which Senator Rob- inson, Dermocrat, of Arkansas. replied that, whife there undoubtedly have been some grounds for complaint, a civil service law is essential in a gov- ernment as large as the United States Senator Glass, Democrat, of Virginia, took the position that the civil service laws are not properly enforced.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1. 1928, ASSOCIATION PLANG SURVEY OF TRAFFIC | s | Business Men to Make Study; After Hearing Report of Inefficiency. After hearing a report by H. Mason Welch, an attorney, charging that the taxpayers of Washington are being de- prived of an adequate return in service for the $200,000 spent on salaries and equipment for the traffic police of the city, due to their “gross delinquency.” the Georgia Avenue Business Men Assoclation last night named a com- | mittee to study means of “more effec- tive enforcement” of the traffic regula- tions. Milton Vollmer, president of the as- sociation, which met at the Nativity Church School, was made chairman of the special committee, which will con- fer with other business men's associa- tions of the city with a view to form- ing a joint committee to study the question. Mr. Welch, reporting as chairman of the committee of the assoclation on legislation, declared that the 148 mounted traffic policemen of the city are virtually uscless, due to “disor-| ganization in the department, lack of | supervision and careless disregard of | public protection.” If the traffic officers were doing their duty. he charged, “present traffic con- | ditions would be impossible.” He as- serted that mounted traffic officers were not active as they should be in making arrests for major violations of the! traffic regulations. He declared mem- bers of the traffic bureau were neglect- irg properly to enforce the regulations pointing out that the number of deaths | from traffic accidents was greater last | year than in 1926 | The association adopted a resolution | opposing the enactment of the Lank ford bill providing strict Sunday clos- ing regulations. War motion pictures, were shown, and five new members were admitted to the association. Mr Vollmer presided Boston School Board has abolished the post of gir] advisers in high and Latin schools.

D. Carson of N. W. Ayer & Son Addresses Washington Club at Luncheon. Fifty per cent more money will be spent in advertising this year than was | spent for that purpose last year, Maj. 1. D. Carson of N. W. Ayer & Son Ad- verlising Agency of Philadelphia pre- dicted i an address at a luncheon of the Washington Advertising Club 1n Harvey's restaurant yesterday. Siressing the value of advertising, | Maj. Carson declared: “It is the man who doesn't advertise who has to make explanations today " He developed the thought that would-be investors are as likely to investigate a firm's methods of advertising as they are to investigate its assets. Touching upon what is to be expected of advertising, Maj. Carson said: “It must cause people to know a product, cause them to remember it and cause them to act.” He said the sort of advertising that sirable form of advertisement.
