JOB SEEKERS IN DRY UNIT FACE SEARCH|N6 QUIZ Civil Service Examination to Be Severest of Tests foe Applicants, Bu Times Special WASHINGTON. June 15.—The "most searching test” ever given by the United States Civil Service Commission will decide the qualifications of the 19,000 applicants for the 2,500 prohibition bureau jobs, It became known today. • While the commission gives as Its reason that the Importance of the jobs requires a more thorough examination, other factors undoubtedly are influencing its members. First—This is the first time that prohibition employes have been forced to take civil service examinations and the commission considers it is “on its mettle” to make good. Safeguards Are Reared Second—Widespread criticism of enforcement of the prohibition laws Llias caused the commission to take Vognlzance of the fact that if enforcement falls down under civil it will have to share in the blame. Third—Charges of graft and corruption among prohibition workers in the past are causing the commission to safeguard itself against such charges cropping up in the future. Not only are uniform questions being prepared for use in oral examinations over the country, but the questions are being tried out and the questioners are going to school at the civil service offices this week and next. Dr. L. J. O’Rourke, director of research, is the teacher. Pupils are examining officials of the main office and the district offices from coast to coast. Questioning Thorough First the applicants for the lower salaried jobs were given written examinations. Next all will be submitted to oral tests. These will be followed by character examinations. Those who survive all these previous tests will be finger-printed, to see that no ex-convicts are among the prohibition employes selected. Scope of the oral examination questions covers everything from personal characteristics and address to adaptability, keenness, quickness of understanding, observation, judgment and discretion. As one attendant at the examination said today: “If a man passes this examination he’ll know something about prohibition and it will not be our fault if he doesn’t make a good prohibition employe and enforce the law.” NIGHT WARBLER NOW SINGS.DITTY OF LIFER Plaintive Chanting Leads Police to Pick Up Banjo Thief.
