PENSIONS FUR [ MP 1 OYE OF
 LIGHT SERVICE

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The first provision ever made by the govern. ment for pensioning civilian employees is contained in the annual lighthouse bill recently approved by President Wilson
 A retirement system is instituted, permitting optional retirement at 65 years for those having thirty years active service. and making retirement be computed on one-f0rtieth of the av. craze annual pay during the last five years of service, multiplied by the number of years spent in the light house service or some other branch of the government which has a retire ment system. In any case the pay is to be not more than thirty -fortieths of the annual average
 ! Despite several qualifying clauses, the bill is regarded by government em. ployes and officials advocating a gen eral civilian retirement system as q marked step forward. Only employees in the field service and on vessels come under the law, those Continu- ously employed in district offices and shops being excluded. The provision that service only in branches of the government having retirement sys- tems may be counted in qualifying for a pension imposes strict limitation on the transfer of veteran workers from civilian departments to the lighthouse service. while permitting soldiers. sail ors, marines and employees of the coast guard all of whom have benefit of the military retirement systems, to enter the service without prejudice to their record
 In keeping with the generally ad- vancing trend of wages. the limit for the average pay of light keepers was increased by the bill to SS40 from $500, at which it was fixed more than half a century ago. Superintendents of districts were advanced from $2.40O to S3,O0O

FISH AND MEAT.

Contrary to the unfounded inn precision of many people. fish is any thing but low in food value. In fact, it is rich in protein and to a lesser degree in fat. and is for that reason to be classed where one might expect--among the meats
 In it's protein content, statistics in- dicate that fish is practically on q level with meat. Now. as has been mentioned, it is chiefly for it's pro- tein, it's bodybuilding and main taining power, that meat is eaten. Because of this fact, during any period when conservation of meat is desirable, an equal consumption of fish will provide an equivalent sup ply of protein.

 June 22-lnterest in the Knights oi
 Columbus three huts has increased
 so greatly that eight secretaries
 are hardly sufficient to handle the
 work which was cared for by two
 men last Fall. The big numbers of
 draft men coming this Spring has
 brought an increased responsibility
 for the Knights of Columbus and
 Adrian F. Ward, general secretary, is scouting for suitable men to in crease the personnel of the camp staff. Plans are under way for en- larging and improving the buildings to meet the needs of the men. How big the attendance is at the huts is best shown by the fact the 1,700 letters were mailed from the buildings in one day, May 20. There was a continuous demand for writ ing material and stamps all day May 19, one of the first acts of the draft men usually being to send letter home telling of the arrival and first impressions of camp. Building No. 3 is in the center of the depot brl-
