At the Board meeting last night SUI
pervisor Aylett reported from a spe-
cial committee that S. r. Jordan, can
didate for examiner of chauffeurs, had
not taken out his second papers Tor
citizenship
Later letter from Mayor Fern was
read, stating that Jordan was not ELI
gible and nominating James Lynch for
the position. 1t is an Office created by
ordinance and therefore under the law
appointive by the Mayor with the APP
prevail of the board.
Conversation around the Board show
present knew Lynch and considered
him well qualified for the Office. Logan
therefore withdrew a motion he had
made to refer the nomination to the
Jordan committee.
AHA did not know Lynch and want
ing to have him investigated moved for
special committee to be appointed
by the Mayor
No one seconding this there was a
pause. Mcclellan then told of his
acquaintance with Lynch since the
latter was ten years old, and of his
conducting a garage in Oakland, con-
Guiding with a motion to confirm the
appointment. No one seconded this
and there was another pause, broken
at length by Kane with motion to
confirm the appointment. A member
having said that Kane's motion
amounted to a second of McClellans
Kane withdrew his motion and sec
onded Atlas.
Then some talk ensued between the
Mayor and members as to what was
the question, when Logan seconded
McClellans motion, as he said, to OBJ
tain showdown The motion to
refer to committee should have been
put first but was not, and the motion
to confirm being put was carried una
nimously to the surprise of the NOV
er.
On the opening of the meeting, KANE
| presented a motion in writing thai
all employees of the City and County
be paid on the 18th and on the las
day of each month.

THE extra session just closed is re-
garded in the eyes of the law as
the first session of the Sixty-first con-
gresS, so unless a court ruling is made
which reverses the treasury depart
ment the lawmakers will get no mile
age when they come together next De-
cember. The senators and congress
men, however, have not given up hope
of securing their mileage for the
Dingley law session, for they carried
the case to the court of claims. Gen.
Grosvenor, until recently repre-
sentative from Ohio, and one of the
leaders of the Cannon machine in the
house, is the attorney in charge of
the case for the mileage claimants.
The mere fact that most of the sena-
tors and congressman did not return
to their homes between adjournment
on March and the beginning of the
extra session on March Is does not
lessen their desire to get the mile
age. 1t is so much velvet" if they
can get it, and the majority of the
gentlemen who go to Washington to
serve their country have the reputa-
ton of getting all they can.
The statesmen get Is cents mile
over the longest possible route to
their homes. Some of the New York
members get more than 500 for a
trip.

fembers of Congress Hot After MILEAGE

AS an evidence of the receptive dis
position on the part of the members
of congress it might be mentioned
that the representatives voted them
selves each $125 eatra Stationery al
ioWance" soon after the beginning of
the extra session. A great MANY
OF them do not spend more than SIS
or $40 year on their stationery.
There are 391 members, four delegates
and three commissioners who may
draw this comfortable little additional
$l25 allowance, making 1913 all told.
The sum of this item, therefore, is
$21,45O. Every employee of the cap
ltoi working force was granted an
extra months pay, and as the salaries
run all the way from $4,000 a year,
experts, to $50 month for messen-
gers, and $3.50 day for pages, the
sum total is tidy one. The extra
pay of the senate pages amounts to
$4,000 for the extra session. These
youngsters, of whom there are 16,
are given $3.50 a day, reckoning 80
days a month
The urgent deficiency bill carries a
number of the items due to the extra
session. Among them is one "for
miscellaneous items, exclusive of la
Dor, $25,000." Who gets it is not diA
vulged in the bill. Another line in
the bill reads: ITO reimburse the Off
cial reporters of the proceedings and
debates of the senate for expenses
incurred during the first session of the
Sixty-first congress for clerk hire and
other clerical services, $3,240." The
official reporters of debates get $4,000
year apiece and extra compensation
for additional copies of their tran.

What the Lawmakers Eat in Summertime

and dozen different acidy fruits that
Carlsbad doctors tell you to avoid.
There is nothing In the world that lies
heavier on tired, flaccid, midsummer
stomach than an iced melon the first

of the tariffmakers ate them daily.
The internal chill their digestive or
gans get is rapid cooler for tariff

The capitol restaurant serves more
dairy dishes and pie than at any
other time of the year. The average
lawmaker eats at noon-a good habit
in this country, if only he would eat
digestible food. But he turns his
liver with overdoses of milk, pours
layers of pie and devitalizing food.
The one salvation is that roast beef
generally cold-still remains the
principal blood making, brain sustain

But it is the night diners that fur
nish the most amazing specimens of
menus. The bills of fare of the lead

Their principal dishes can be CLASH

Twenty-four different kinds of ices.
Fifteen cold salads.
Fifteen different ways of cooking

Tom Citizen had received neck
tie for a Christmas present. 1t was a
purple affair with dots in it OF some
strange imported color. 1t wasn't
bad looking effort at that, and Citizen
laid it away for some day when he
was feeling skittish enough to spring
it. Then he forgot about it.
1t stayed there in his chiffOnier
drawer for some sixty days. and then
he happened on it accidentally and
grabbed it Just as man clutches at

that he didn't know he had.
Yes, of course Citizen had to illumin-
ate himself in that new tie effect. And
he got just as far as the front room
before Mrs. Citizen halted him and
ordered him to take it off and put it
away.
