SOCIETY. " FUNDS REQUESTED FOR AP ARG Temporary Employes to Ap- peal to Roosevelt to Save Their Jobs. A plea to President Roosevelt to approve edditional allotments for the continuance of special map-making | work it the Coast and Geodetic Sur- | vey probably will be made early this, week by a group of temporary em- | ployes who are threatgned with un-| employment by August 1. Plans for | making the appeal were made at a meeting held at the Department of Commerce Building yesterday after- noon. | A F. Jankowski, spokesman for| the group, said that unless additional | furids are forthcoming about 2,500 topographers will lose their jobs. An- | other argument for the continuance of the work is the fact that materials | costing about $5,000,000 are on hand and will be worthless within a com-‘ paratively short time ‘Theése men, 50 per cent of whom are | college men and skilled topographers, comprise the field force and are scat- | tered all over the country. It is con- | tended by spokesmen in the office | here that if they are thrown out of work, many of them will be left stranded great distances from home | and will be forced to go on the| relief rolls At the meeting yesterday it was decided to make a concerted plea! to officials to speed the allotment of additional funds. It was pointed out | that this phase of the public works | program is one of the most impor- tant undertaken by the survey, since it is upon the work of these men | ract.

Cleric Cuts Sermons to 10 Minutes for Comfort of Flock By the Associated Press. PROVINCETOWN, Mass,, July 13.— Ghosts don't like publicity. That's what Mrs. Ralph Harlow | said when her all-night “spook party” | in her 135-year-old house ended early | today. | The ghosts which have pushed her from rooms, paddled up and down the | stairs and ruffled the fur on her six cats just didn't appear. although for a moment Mrs. Harlow and her 15| guests thought one had decided to| | join the party. As the group waited downstairs at | the witching hour a dish fell from a | table in a second floor room. Mrs. Harlow and her guests rushed to the scene. There lay the dish in pieces.
