CIVIL SERVICE PROBE
LIKELY NEXT WINTER
The Resolution for investigation introduced by Senator
Borah During Special Session of Congress
viii Be Taken Up Again.

When Congress meets next December
there will be a renewal of the effort 10
get a sweeping investigation of the civil
service system.
This matter was preached in the
special session. Senator Borah Of Idaho
introduced a resolution directing the
Committee on Civil Service and Re-
trenchment to conduct an investigation.
1t was Borahs intention that If the reso-
luton were adopted, the committee in
question should take up tie work of
investigation this fall and go into IL
exhaustively. Senator Cummins is the
new chairman Of the committee and he
was prepared to probe the system 70 the
bottom
The resolution was not adopted, how
ever. II was not an opportune time for
the consideration Of much else than
tariff. Some OPPOSITION manifested itself
to the adoption OF the resolution and IN
the hurry of the closing days of the
special session the question was not
brought up.
Not the End of It.
But IL is understood that this was not
tie end Of It. Its supporters believe
it will be passed. In that case. the
Senate Committee on Civil Service and
Retrenchment will go TO work. will con-
duct hearings and win no doubt sum-
mon large number of witnesses from
the various departments.
While it IS impossible at this time tc
tell whether there will be sufficient op-
position to the resolution to prevent
it from going through. a large number
of members of Congress are not over
friendly 10 the civil service and are
not likely to put anything in the way
OF an investigation. Cummins is friend
" to the system but feels that an in

His Face Not His Fortune.

In the wilds Of the North island.
among the members Of the Arawa
tribe, there lives Maori whose face
in bygone days carried with it condi-
tons that the owner Is pleased were
not fulfilled. An artist looking for
Subjects was struck with the excep-
tional elaborate tattooing On the mans
cheek, nose and forehead. The artist
at once selected him as type Of the
ancient Maori, but the members Of the
tribe, however, said that he was a
nobody" and did not deserve the hon.
or accorded to him. They explained
that he had been slave and that his
face had been splendidly tattooed in
order that his head could be sold at a
great price In the days when traffic
IN dried heads was lucrative calling
Tor the chiefs and notables. The man
evidently circumvented the CONNER
c1al instincts Of his master until tho
grewsome trade was abolished. and
after that. of course, his face was no
longer menace to his head.-Waira-
