BY The United Press.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA merry war
is on among government department
heads for labor. So fragrant has become
The rival bidding for employees to man
the many new bureaus that the puzzled
executives are making aggrleved pro-
tests to Congress.
The government clerks, some Of
whom haven't had a raise in pay since
Folks administration, are feeling a bit
OF war prosperity.
"They are fairly robblng mew de-
clared Secretary Redneld, returning to
the new shipping board. He said they
were taking all his experts who have
done their exporting heretofore for
$1,000 a year, and starting them out at
from $500 to $4,000 His commerce de-
partment, he declared, was being ruin
ously dlsorganized.
Stricter rules are in force against
transfers Of civil service employees from
one department to another. But the men
simply quit, and soon get another job
with another department head who
rarely proves particularly inqulsltlve
as to their past II they can do the
work.
Before the war, Washington was
strictly a low-wage town. Congressmen
found more votes were gained by spend
ing appropriations in their districts
back home than in raising Clerk Bill
Jones' pay from $500 TO $500 a year.

CADILLAC IS Godfather
TO YOUNG iowa HOPEFUL

Cadillac Is a good old name. It
originally belonged to that hardy
Frenchman who guided his handful
of men through the wilderness to the
spot where Detroit now stands. Later
1t became much more widely known
as the name Of a motor car.
1t so happens that Harry Kaar Is

evidently stands high in Mr.. Kaar's
