been political change down here,
the incoming administration has found
way to get round at least substan-
tial portion of civil service. Although
there ie supposed to be absolutely no
politics in the merit system, it is a
notorious fact that, in the past at
least, politics has played most i'm
portant part as indicated by the fact
that fully eighty percent Of the gov
ernment employees now covered by
the civil service are republicans. Even
down south in districts where there
are ten democrats to every republican,
negroes not counted, about all the pos
tai EMPLOYEES, including rural mail
carriers and the internal revenue men
are republicans. The places are filled
after examinations held down there
and i stands. to reason that If awards
were made solely upon merit, there
would be = great preponderance of
democrats in that part of the country.
Personally, | believe in the merit sys-
TEN bst- also believe that there should
also be some substantial changes
made in. the present civil service rules.
There should be, in my opinion, pro-
vision for the re-examination Of all
civil service employees at stated peri
DDS of, say four or six years. This sort
of rule would be an incentive to the
civil service employees to keep them
selves informed as to the duties Of
their positions and would obviate much
of the inertia, physical and mental,
which is so apparent to any person
who has had even limited oppertun-
ity to observe the manner in which
the employees in the great depart
4ments down here do their work. It
would, in short. mean an added eff
cheney all along the line. Personally,
I would oppose sny assaults on the
great principles of the civil service
even though firmly. believe that il
has been made sort Of political foot
tbail in the past. but that does not
mean that shall oppose any efforts
which may be put forth to correct some
of the evils which are now apparent
in the system.

lessen the burden Of taxation now be.
ing borne BY the poor, and place tax

This promises to be feature OF the
legislative program of the Democratic
63rd Congress. Questions asked by
witnesses before the Ways and Means
committee indicated that meats and
sugar may go on the free list. An In.
come tax to make up for the loss OF
revenue from the tariff on meats and
sugar will soon come into existence as
a result Of the ratification Of the in.

This program should spell some re-
duction in the cost of living. The

beef. The cables frequently report

STARS
Can Be Brought Into Use In
Telling Time

Nearly every one knows that the
stars rise in the east, circle across the
sky. and set In the west, much as the
sun does. They are actually moving
In circles round the pole of the sky
as center. It is clear from this that,
II they could be watched like the
hands Of q clock, we could measure
time by them. As a matter Of fact,
says Prof. Forest Ray Moulton, In an
interesting treatise Of which Popular
Science Siftings has made an abstract,
our time is actually measured by them.
At the big .observatories observa-
tions of the stars are made every clear
night, in order to correct the clocks.
which, at the best, are imperfect. This
time constitutes what is known as a
standard time.
Suppose one stands facing the north
and looks at the north star. which Is
almost exactly at the pole Of the sky,
as the center Of tn face Of a clock.
The stars will be observed to go round
the pole from right to left; that Is, In
the opposite direction to that In which
the hands Of the clock move. When

of Greenwich, 10 found. 1t will be no
ticed that two Of the stars In 1t are in
a line with the pole star. They may
be regarded as the hour hand of q
clock which measures time.
The difficulty in finding the time oi
night by the stars arises from the fact
that they 20 round in the opposite
direction to that of the hands Of q
clock and make but one circuit in "a
hours. Their position at midnight al
so varies with the time of year. TAX
ing all these things into account, the
rule for finding the time of night is as
follows:
Regard the stars of the big dippel
which are in line with the pole as
the hour-hand Of clock. and reat
off from their position the time i
