residents from states I'm the Far West
make application to the United States
civil service commission for the ex-

1t was stated at civil service COM
mission yesterday that as the census

bureau.
II is expected that about 5000 APP
pontments will be made from the ex-
animation to be held i'm all the states
and territories. These appointments
will be for terms of six months to two
years. and will average about one year
in length.
