>~CALLMEN WILL NOT
 TAKE EXAMINATIONS
Civil Service Commission Holds Them to Be Regular City EmpIoyes- Not
 So With Supcrnumeraries.

Mayor George A Quigley, the civil service commission and the safety board met in an informal session last evening to discuss the proposed civil service rules for the appointment of policemen and firemen. It was fin ally decided to have the mayor call B special meeting of the common council on next Wednesday evening to consider and finally adopt a set of rules as it is imperative that ten new policemen, at least, be appointed at once.
 The civil service commission ex- plained their interpretation of the rules regarding fire department ap- pointments to be that all regularly appointed callmen are eligible for regular berths without taking the ex- nminations. The board takes the view that all callmen are regular employees of the city as they receive a salary of $200 per year. Hence they are eligible for promotion without re- course to the civil service
 Not so with the supernumerary po- icemen however. Technically they are not regular city employees inas- much as they do not receive any stip- ulated salary but are paid fixed sum for service. Thus. they would have to come under the civil service rules to be promoted. At present the ordinance states that a supernumcl = ary, to be eligible for regular ap- pointment, must have been more than two years in the department. Tho safety board will seek to have this rule changed as the members feel that this clause would exclude a half dozen good men who otherwise might be named. At the special council meeting the civil service rules will be thoroughly threshed out and a num- Der of changes and recommendations will be made.

MISSIONARY SUPPLY
 LESS THAN DEMAND
Hundreds of Thousands Can Be Christ ianized, w. F. NJ. s. Reports at
 Methodist Episcopal Convention

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, May G. The demand for missionaries to work in foreign fields for the Methodist Episcopal church is much greater than the supply, the woman's Foreign Mis- sionary society reported to the gener- al conference of the church today Last year, the report said, only $5O,- 900 was available for the foreign mis- sionaries, although a total of $36S, 900 had been required.
 We face today" the report contin- ued mot tens but hundreds of thou sands of women and children who are ready to be taught the way to Christ. We are meeting this demand in one way by cooperating with other mis- siOnary forces in educational and medical institutions and the produc- tiOn of Christian literature"
 The society, which asked an in creased appropriation to carry on it's work, said there was an enrollm ent of 5O,000 pupils in it's Methodist schools in foreign countries. n~

West End Residents Don't Relish IGc;,
 of Living in Rough Section.

West End residents, as well as the police, are laughing today over a re- ported story about a West End thug 'scare' and some of the residents are objecting on the grounds that it gives strangers the impression that they are living in a lawless section of the city.

to make her way through the crowd Of
students who had gathered about Leo
pold to offer their congratulations
Near Leopold stood little bent old
man wearing an i'll fitting suit. Leo
pold introduced him as his father, and
Frances stared in unbelieving amaze
ment. This shabbily dressed old man
was speaking in broken English
with the polished fastidious Dean
The old mans eyes were shining, his
bent back seemed to straighten, and
he laughed happily as he heard the
Dean praise his son. There were Dan
iel Fein and Rebecca Lachman and
many more students, and Leopold was
talking to them afectionately of his
father, who had come all the way
from another town to attend the con-
test The tears came to her eyes, She
felt mean and despicable.
Fifteen minutes later Frances
called up her father at the fish store.
Il forgot to tell you, father" she
said, my sorority is giving party to
which the fathers of the members are
invited. I'm not going to get new
dress. I'm going to fix over one of
my other dresses, SO you had better
get yourself suit for the money"
The telephone conveyed to her the de-
light with which her father told her
that he was so glad he would be able
to visit the college and meet the girls
who had been friendly to her.
Frances tripped across the campus
gayly. "You seem to be very happy"
said Rebecca Lachman. whats the
cause of this smile you are wearing?
It's very becoming. Did you make
brilliant showing in the class ?"
"How horrid of you," Frances re-
piled teasingly, "As if | don't always
make brilliant showing in my classes.

you. | was thinking about the Phi
Delta's party, and everything is going
