only $4,000.
Oddly enough. il is not the COM
petition of private business that the
department fears in it's efforts TO re-
tain the competent men il now has
on these insufficient salaries, but
rather the competition of other
branches of the government itself.
The new government commissions
especially. on account of the liberal
appropriations granted them. are
able TO offer much larger salaries
TO the class Of men that the depart
ment of commerce needs.
The bureau reports that II is
about due TO lose the services of a
half dozen of its most valued men
unless their salaries are increased
and that all of them are resigning TO
accept more lucrative positions in
other departments of the govern
ment. So Uncle Sam is stirring him
self to keep peace in his large fam
lily of employees by equalizing
salaries.

BOSS IS POOREST
PAID Of BUNCH
Gets Only $1,000 While Men,
berS of Bureau Receive
$4,000 a Year.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.--Here is
lone on the boss" Likewise, a vim
dication of the old adage that hap
pier is the man who takes orders
than the one who gives them"
In the bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce, in the department
of commerce there is a commercial
attache service. The 10 men at
present composing IL and chosen for
their expert knowledge of foreign
trade. draw salaries Of $4,000 year
or thereabOut
Their activities are directed from
the Washington office of the bureau,
and the practical value of the IN
formation they gather depends al
most entirely on intelligent handling
and distribution by their Office. One
would naturally think that this po-
sition would demand a high-class
executive. a man with experience in
managing $4,000 men.
As a matter of fact. the chief of
the attache service is an official with
the rank of a translator. on a salary
of 50. 600 a year And he must give
more than half his time to other
work This is due to the fact that
the congressional appropriation for
the commercial attaches is so word
ed as not 70 permit the employment
of any persons in Washington. Sec'y
of Commerce Redfield is endeavOr-
ing TO have this condition changed
by the present congress.
The chamber of commerce of the
United States has stated a movement
TO have the executive offices OF the
department of commerce all put on
a higher salary basis In a letter
addressed TO the cOmmitte on ap-
propriations it points out that only
$4,000 a year is allowed for the
chief of the tariff division. an official
who must have a vast amount Of
technical knowledge, if he is to be
of any value at all.

OF 30 10 is. The Mishawaka sec
ond team beat the blue and white
subs by the close score of II TO 10.
Mishawaka's teamwork was rath-
err demoralized the first half and
Elkhart succeeded in finishing the
period only one point behind, the
score being u 20 II. Steiner, for
Elkhart. was put out in the first
few minutes of play on four per-
sonal fouls and was substituted by
Albright
In the second round the locals
came back with renewed pep and
their aEgressiveness and teamwork
completely shattered Elkhart's de-
Tense. AS usual, the basket shoot
ing of the locals was not up to
standard. but il had improved con-
siderably over previous games. All
Of the high five played good ball.
Two of the players were hampered
because of sickness which made
them a little groggy. Seeberger and
Crabill. for Elkhart. seemed the
most familiar with the gam6 and
worked we'll. The four reputed sick
men were back in the Elkhart line
up for the game. The second teams
of Elkhart and Mishawaka gave a
pretty exhibition of basketball as a

was considerably the heavier, but
what AIishawaka lacked in weight
they made up in speed. The work

stroke about a year and a half ago
