Banker,' Trust Co. Meets H. {. L.

Living costs for the salaried man
have received considerable attention
from the Bankers Trust Company, OF
New York. in devisinE method lot
Increasing the pay OF its own en-
nIoyees 1t has developed plan
WHEREBY salaries are increased Eener-
ally throughout the force, the maxi
mum percentage or increase being ~
per cent.
Sslaried employees have suffered
r,orc from increa sei living costs than
waco workers. for the demand for
manual labor created by the war has
had the Crect Of boosting pay very
considerably. The men on fixed sal
sries have been less fortunate, and IN
many nlaces their only opportunity TO
GET more conversation TO meet the
increased cost OF living has been
based on the generosity OF their en-
ployers.
Increased compensation allowances
were based on the increases In 1000
and other essentials. as shown hy
figures obtained by Dun's. Brad
streets, the Department OF Labor
and the Annalist.. These showed gen
eral increases in the cost OF com
modities, ranging from '5.7 to VI
percent in the three years from lSlS
to 1918.
In the final development OF the in
creased compensation plan, the bank
officials based their work on the evil
dence which indicated that increased
living costs bore most heavily on men
receiving from sllOO to N.2S9 a year.
To men in these classes Increases
amounting to 20 per cent were given;
a clerk receiving $3.50 would get $3.50
as his increase. The rate of increase
declined gradually to 30 per cent in
,bo case Of the s.. 800 men. Employees
receiving more than 500 were paid
so the same a. the $500 men. il

catarrh is a condition Of the blood
and cannot be cured by local appli-

of treatment.
Catarrh should not be neglected or

TWO-PLATOON
SYSTEM URGED
Fire Department Change
Asked for by Mid-City
Association.
By Dwlc

The immediate adoption OF the two
platoon system in the FIRE depart
ment OF the District is urged in a
resolution adopted unanimously by
the Mid-City Citizens Association last
night. A resolution calling for the
immediate institution Of a system of
universal transfers was also passed.
The association also voted unani-
mously in favor of the enfra nchise-
ment Of the citizens of the District,
with representatives in both Houses
of Congress.
In arguing for the adoption of the
two-platoon system IL was pointed
out that in the current District sp-
preparation bill provision was made
for sufficient funds 10 inaugurate the
system. The reason given by officials
for the failure TO adopt the system
is the shortage of men. II was ar
Eucd that this could be overcome by
the use Of limited service men who
were called in tine draft.
Favor Better Sanitation.
Many complaints were filed with
the association as to the faulty COL
lection OF garbage and trash. \ res
olution calling for an investigation
into the system which controls this
work was unanimously adopted.
\ report of the committee Of the
association which has had charge Of
the Liberty Loan work in the com
munity showed that sales amounting
to 5000 were made. This is an
amount greatly in excess of any other
citizens association in the city.
The thanks OF the association were
extended to DR.. Fowler. District
health officer: Dr. Mustard. Of the
Public Health Service, and Dr. Ash
worth. District inspector Of foods. for
their efforts in combating the pei
demic Of influenza. Several persons
were elected to membership in the
association.
A. J. Driscoll was reelected presi-
dent of the association. 1t was voted
that all OF the officers Of the associa-
tion should be reelected for the COM
ing year. Thomas S. SerGeon will be
vice president: Vincent L. Toomey,
secretary, and Max T. Pines, treas
urer. Charles S. Shreve and Hames
A. Toomey were appointed delegates
to the Federation OF Citizens Asso-
Citations.

the submersible appeared and opened
fire on the schooner the crew took TO
the small boats and have been landed
at Cape May The schooner was set
on fire by the shells When the planes
and two submarine chasers were sight
ed the submarine submerged One OF
the planes flying low, dropped a depth

Thought to Be Insane,

Stacks of wheat from thirty five
acres OF grain belonging to the Little
Dairy company, near Needham, south OF

GIBSON ORDERS
DRAFT BOARDS TO
OBEY RULINGS
Men Whose Wives Work in
Deferred Classes,

The mere fact that the wife OF reg
iStrant without children is working and
earning a salary does not necessarily
mean that her husband should be placed
in Class IA, according to importan,
instructions governing the classification
ni married men, which were sent Out
this morning to all local boards BY
Adiutant General f. II. Gipson.
Unless the registrant, who IS the
husband OF a wife that is working, has
means independent of his labor out OF
which to support his wife, he shoul d
remain in a deferred class, according TO
General Gipson's interpretation OF the
selective service regulations.
In many cases il has come to the
attention OF the adjutant generals OF
flee, that councils OF defense and others
have attempted in measure TO usurp
the duties OF local draft boards by say
ing certain men ought to be called into
the service because their wives are
working, or because their wives are
able to earn their own living
At the conference OF adlutants gen
eral in Washington some time ago
General GipSon. along with prominent
draft officials from other states, urged
amendments to the regulations, which
would automatically bring all married
men without children and whose, wives
are physically and mentally able to earn
their own living into class one, but
this did not meet the approval OF the
Washington draft executives
Later when class one men were al.
most exhausted General Gipson urged
that men OF this status be put in IA,
but Washington officials stuck to the
regulations giving such men berth
in the second class
