ZEAL FOR DRY LAW SHOWN BY JOB-SEEKERS Burning With Eagerness to Rout Bootleggers, 19,000 Seek Office. BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON. July 14.—The new crop of prohibition enforcers may be a crew fired by holy zeal for the cause of arid righteousness. Nineteen thousand citizens have applied for the 2,500 enforcement jobs which Congress threw open to the public and among the applicants are many who have assured the Civil Service Commission that they are all burning up with eagerness to put the bootleggers In prison and make the country safe for the eighteenth amendment and the wives and kiddies. Believe Sentiment Genuine Officers of the Civil Service believe that much of this sentiment on the part of the applicants is genuine and they admit that it will be taken Into consideration, despite the fact that no man is discriminated against in case he doesn’t favor prohibition as a national policy. Butchery, bakers and candlestick makers are all after the prohibition jobs which pay from $1,140 a year for warehouse watchmen to $6,000 a year for the assistant commissioner and administrators.

Oyster boat captains, lumber camp managers, army and navy officers, small manufacturers, real estate dealers, government officials, railroad snuperintendents, several editors and scores of other varieties of men who have been “bosses” are out after the administrative jobs. For the mere agent jobs, applicants have come from every walk of life—from sewer-scrubbing to teaching and preaching. Many private detectives want jobs as agents and investigators. Must Pass Oral Tests Up to $3,000, the jobs require written examinations. Above that candidates must pass thorough oral tests. Examiners test applicants for the better jobs as to personality, dress, poise, posture, speech, tone of voice, judgment, resourcefulness, physical fitness, energy and what not. They test them to determine whether they are executive or subordinate types and to determine whether they would be loyal to their employers, They hurl abstruse hypothetical situations at them and then try to bully the candidate Into making an easy answer just to see if he has a mind of his own.

Papers committing Editor George Dale, Muncie, to State Farm for ninety days on contempt charges win not be ready to serve before next Monday or Tuesday, according to Supreme Court Clerk Charles F. Blederwolf. In the interim a pardon may be forthcoming from Governor Jackson. The latter depends upon recommendation made by the State Farm trustees, who held a hearing at Putnamville Wednesday.

They arrived Wednesday,' but must be officially received by the Indiana Supreme Court, which does not hold a vacation scsssion until Monday or Tuesday. They then will be sent to the Delaware Circuit Court by Blederwolf. Petition for pardon was filed by Mrs. Dale with the Governor and approval of the petition was given by Joe Davis, Delaware County prosecutor. Dale believes he will be pardoned, it having been pointed out that the Dearth trial brought fort the truth of all allegations he made in his paper. “The Muncie Post, Democrat," against the court.
