JJ Third District Chief Says City Is Suffering Frem Shortage of Men URGES COUNCIL TO ACT The Bureau of Surveys is five mehths iehlnd In It" work, occerdlnR te W. 0. Rcedcr, chief Mirveyer of the Third dis trict, who Bftys this Is due te the 'short age of men in thnt department. "Men are p'entlful, but rcfiiBO te work for the city because of the low tlarlc paid," Mr. Itecder said. "Our empleyes have been resigning daily, nnd gt present wc have many vacancies which cannot be filled. V "The only remedy I can fcce for this li the; immediate action of city Council In appropriating an increase in jglarlcs. This shortage of men has been coition the city a great deal mere than It would cost if salaries large enough te attract capable man mie me munici pal pcrvlcc were paid. A driver of n bread wagon receives a larger pay than any man except the executives in the Bureau of Surveys. 'The men realize this and therefore nre dally seeking ether work. "I believe Council should declare a general incrcase In ever-y department. Then the city, could get better men, who would accomplish mere at a smaller dost. "Last year eight men holding rc rc Kpenslblc positions left the survey bu reau. We were se shorthanded that In tny district I turned back a large amount of my appropriation. We must get better men te de our work, and this can only be accomplished by paying better wages." In discussing results of prevailing toeditlons, Mr. Reeder said : "We have had men come te us who wanted te purchase property. They needed a description of the property te turn ever te a trust company or te n mertgagee. They had te wait Ave months for the needed document. In the mean time they were paying Interest en the money they borrowed without having the use of the property. In a geed many eases the deals have fallen through," Dcallis of a Day MRS. MARY M.

The monument was unveiled In Vernen Park by Miss Mary B Clesscn, daughter of Dr. 'and Mrs. James II. Clesscn, of Kl West Chcltcn avenue, end n descendant of Abraham Opdcn Graeff, first burgess of Gcrmantewn. Addresses wrre delivered by -Mayer Moere. Richard Wcglcln, president of City Council; Judge Henry Cenrad, of the Superior Court of Delaware; Charles F. Jenkins, president of the Site and Relic Society, and ethers. Francis Daniel Pasteriim was a mem ber of one of the original German fami lies which settled In Gcrmantewn in 108.1. Although the monument was com pleted mere than three years age, the unvciiing was postponed from time te time. When the United Stntcs became involved in war with Germany, many residents of Gcrmantewn were opposed te honoring Pasterius, nnd much ob jection was made te the presence of the monument. Since the war this feel ing has abated. The monument wan obtained through funds contributed in a general subscrip tion te which the German-American Alliance gave a large share.

NEWEST DANCE, RADNOR, ARTISTIC LITTLE MINX v Real Grace, Dignity and Pleasure Are Combined, Declare Dancing Masters in Praising Latest Steps Terpsichore has a new offspring, n fascinating, alluring, yet dignified and artistic little minx, born In Philadel phia. She is such n contrast et her slightly elder twin brothers, Washington John nie and Shlmmlc, that she brings an immediate smlle te tired-faced dancing masters who have tried these many months te discipline the twins. Radner, for that Is. the new dance's name, has a queer andert of mlxcd-up nncestry, but she has such a wlnsome way, her followers forget about her past. She is really a grcat-grcat-grcat-grandchlld of the old fashioned square dances. Turkey trot was the daughter of the old squnrCdance. n Komcwhet illghty and wild daughter, te be sure. Se wild, in fact, she wasn't taken into the best society until Vernen Castle be friended her nnd set the world crazy about her.

"Washington Johnnie Is absolutely the worst' of these modem dances. It is most surprising te see perfectly nice people, who arc dignified nnd welt poised eruinarny, enter into sucli dances, mak ing their figures grotesque and un shapely. I blame the music largely. Much of this new music is vauipish the composers nnd orchestras both seem te put all the vamping qualities I'hcy can Inte it. It is worse than just jazz. "Radner is n real tonic. The dance is beautiful and dignified. It gives the proper exercise and pleasure te these who .love the nrt. IC develops the arches instead of causing flat feet. It is easy te learn, vet different from ether dances. The correct position for the dancers is a ' normal, practical one. The man has his right nrm about the woman, his hand jusi' above her waist pe he can easily guide nnd protect her. He should leek ever her' right shoulder nnd she should leek ever his right shoulder, instead of sticking her chin Inte his pocket. "The dance itself may be used wttTi almost nny dance music, two-four, three-four or four-four time. It starts with the old waltz step, one, two, three, pnupp, the mail taking these steps en the outside. The pause, for a full meas ure. Is most effective. Then there is a turn, enp, two, and a deep dip en the third count.
