the entire session OF the public utili-

ly. Special Counsel Ives took him
in hand and quizzed him at length re-
garding the running OF trains In the

Mr.. Hedley told in detail of the num-
Der Of trains run on the lines and Of
the method Of arranging the schedules.
He said that during the rush hours all
the trains possible were run In the
subway, but that a few more trains
might be run. He believed, however,
that all the trains necessary TO handle
the crowds were now being run on
most OF the elevated roads.
Mr.. Hedley also gave the details Of
proposed improvements at several
crowded stations in the subway, and
some improvements proposed on the
elevated roads.

An incident that demonstrated the
extremes 10 which some people are
liable TO go in their efforts TO get
by" the federal civil service occurred
In the rooms of Secretary Stebbins in
the Federal building few days ago.
The chief actor in the comedy,
which. 10 himself no doubt was rath-
er tragic, was a well-appearing young
man from a nearby town, who a few
months ago took an examination for
clerkship in a country postOffice.
The young man, who IS more than
ordinary intelligent, passed all the
requirements except that Of weight,
being about half a pound shy Of the
standard
However he was not disqualified,
and his appointment as a sub-clerk
was held mp for a. month, as it was
felt that in that time he might gain
the required weight
Later he turned up before Secre-
tary Stebbns in accordance with an
appointment, and, apparently in the
best Of humOr, proceeded 10 weigh in,
at the same time expressing his graf
ification ,>at he had put on some flesh
in the past few weeks.
The young man. whose age Is about
moment later Mr. Stebblns, In study
ing his caller. noticed hump on the
young mans back.
Mr.. Stebbins examined further and
found the hump to be a small bag
containing a pound Of small BIRD
shot
The young mans motive in car
rying the shot was palpable, and in
his embarrassment he almost col
lapsed.
With tears in his eyes he sought
to explain by saying he was led 10
try the trick by n friend, and that he
did SO because he had an ambition
to go into the postal service.
After n fatherly lecture by Score
tary Stebbins the young man was a.
allowed TO depart.
