its departure. to return no more until
another summer has come and gone.
The latest official reports say nothing
about cold waves travelling toward
Washington, but announce the approach
of rains. The authorities at the Weather
Bureau will not admit, however, that
this means the cold is all over. but
those who long for spring take courage
at the absence OF cold wave signs, and
are counting up the cost of thin wear
ing apparel
The cold has been so intense and has
lasted so long that the winter of 10000
will be remembered for years to come
as one Of the worst Washington has
ever known. and 1t will be with feelings
of JOY that the citizens of the Capital
and the many pleasure seekers who
come here from the North every winter

hail TIE final departure of the raw. dis

How System Works.

This committee, consisting of w. F.
Myers, assistant secretary to the Board
of District Commissioners. and c. I
Shoemaker, a clerk in the Engineering
Department, does it's best to distribute
the days equitably. The only rules that
they have to guide them, however, are
those that the per diem employees that
have held their positions year or
more shall have the greatest number OF
days OF. those who have worked for
the District six months shall have about
half of the number given the year men,
while the three-months' men come an
for a stin less amount of leave.
The result Of this committees meeting
last July was that the largest number
of days allowed any employee was nine
days, while many per diem men got
only one or two days leave out of the
whole year.
