"That. rtihe Federal G.overll'ment be
asked to immediately inmestigaie the
tddsor amination by the railroad com-
pandes of Canada against the Ontario

It'ardo wheat to Montreal. We believe
that the -Ontario farmer is entitled to
the 'same freight rate accorded Amer -

and in view of low prices prevailing
the addi'tdonral revenue divided would
mean much to the 1Ontarlio fanner."

Each morning a tide of employ

afternoon �surge.s out agate, not only
arm marble halls in the new federal
triangle, but from defunct storem,
apartment haus'es, arl'd socialite •anan,-
stons, from garages, a theater and
three "temporary" •budiding's 000tupied
ever since rite World War.
The 'huge federal triangle stretch-
ing over 70 acres of land' between
Pennsylvania and Constitution Av-
enues east of Fifteenth Street hasd hordes of employees from
rented and •temporary istruetures, and
yet, the .demand for more space to-
day seems as urgent as it ever. was.
-.an personnel, the Federal Govern -
meat is now hovering around the afl-
ame thighwat;er mark reached ,during
World War days. In 1918, war work-
ers swelled the force from Its normal
'size of less than 500,000 to a record
Jhigih of 917,000. Last December, with
the extra postal workers taken on
for the 'holiday rush, there were 918,-
861 men and. women on the Govern-
ment pay roll. Of these, 120,604 were
in Washington and 798,257 in the
field.
The pay roll started to climb in
1933 with the adyent et the New
Deal and bas been going up consist-
ently ever since, except i•n',1937 when
a temporary recovery movement cur-
tailed federal activities, for a period.
The Government has overflowed the
70 square miles that are the nation's
capital. Hundreds of social set;'urity
reeordateepers' have been working
since 1935 in a. large bottling plant
on the Baltimore waterfront, simply
beoause sufficient floor space was not
available in Washington. Soon, how-
ever, the Social Security Board is to
have a new building, sufficient for a
while for all of its 9,000 employees,
hired in the last four years;
has been only a few years since
the Census Bureau took over new
quarters in the three -block -long Com-
merce Department, but now Congress
has given it a new building to be
ready before returns of the 19401 cen-
sus come in for tabulation. The Gov-
ernment Printing Office, swamped
with the flood' of 'literature issued by
old and new bureaus, has just com-
plethd: a large new .addition,
Now, more than ever, everything
in Washington .centers around the
Government worker. He. and his
family make up more than half the
city's population. Stores time their
sales to correspond with Government
pay days on the 15th and 30th of
every month. Taxi drivers report a
noticeable falling off in business a-
bout a week after pay day.
The average Government clerk is
not a rich customer, but a regular
one. His salary is about $1,871n In,
the District it runs a little higher—
$2,066, but living expenses are above
the average there.
He works from 9 a.m. to 4.30 par.
or 8.30 a.m. to 4 'p.m., with half a
day off on Saturday. `Each year' he
gets 26 days of carefully checked
''leave," excluding Saturday afters
noons and Sundays.
The Government w'orker's salary
oes not permit him to spend money
vis'bly. As a result, . Washington. is
poor theater town, supporting only
ne legitimate playhouse. Neighbor
ood movies'flourish, as do State so-
eties that furnish an opportunity
e 'acquaintedecom'acquainted with Senators and
her high 'officials from one's home
ate.
On- week -ends the city's many mun-
ipal tennis courts, swimming pools,
elf courses, and `tricycle paths are
owded. Many clerks spend their
cave" at shacks or cottages rip the
otomac, or down on Chesapeake
ay, or merely working in a .suburb -
n garden.
In Wasthington, about 40 per cent.
the Government employees are
omen. Out over the country the
°portion of men, is much larger.
ederal agencies that employ more
omen than men include the Treas-
'y, Civil Service Commission. Farm
redit Administration, the .Social Se -
ray' Board, alit) tine Veterans' Ad-
inistration.

ees the 19,000,000 feet of net usable floor
space now occupied by the Govern-
ment at Washington. • For• the one-
third of this he rents from private
owners, Mr. Ickes is paying an an-
nual sum of approximately $3,400,000
plus the cost of maintenance in over
half the buildings.
There 1s a ;law that Government
departments cannot pay more rent
per aninniais than 15 per cent.. of the
assessed valuation of the property',
but Mr. Ickes suspects from the pres-
ent bill that some real Mate owners
may figure they can more than make
the additional taxes if they can get a
thigh valuation on their property.
That is one reason why Government
officials are anxious to settle bureaus
in their own buildings just as fast as
they can.

If your car did not knock when new, but• knocks now—on the same grade
of gasoline—blame it on the motor oil. Many oils form hard carbon inside
the motor after only a few thousand miles. The result is knocking and lost
power. In the long run, the best and most economical cure for knocking
is to have the carbon removed, then use Sunoco, the Knock -proof Motor
Oil, exclusively. It's your safest protection against knocks and lost power!
SUNOCO

MOTOR OIL
Sunoco Knock -proof Oil is one oil that you can depend upon to
keep your motor free of hard carbon, the cause of many knocks.
Therefore, if your motor knocks ... look to, the motor oil, first!
HERE'S WHY MANY MOTOR OILS CAUSE KNOCKS
Modern high compression motor cylinder
showing piston at bottom of stroke. In this
position there is ample space for the gasoline -
air mixture which was fed into the cylinder
after having been mixed in the proper propor-
tions by the carburetor.
•
As the piston moves upward, the mixture is
compressed to one-sixth of its former volume.
In other words, the 6 units of mixture have
been reduced to one unit. (Compression ratio,
6 to 1.) While compression ratios vary, most
modern cars have high compression engines.
Wrong Oil forms hard carbon in the firing
chamber. By reducing this sphce, hard carbon
increases the compression and heat so that the
gas mixture cannot burn evenly, but instead,
causes a sudden sharp explosion. In other
words, the motor knocks, or pings.
