CLERKS PAY RAISE
BILL YET IN HANDS
OF SUBCOMMITTEE

Although the House Appropriations
Committee has reported the legisla-
tive, executive. and judicial bill to the
House, through Congressman Byrns
OF Tennessee the measure to provide
percentage increases for Federal and
District employees is still in the hands
OF the legislative subcommittee.
II is hoped that this will be re-
ported in time to add IL as an amend
ment to the legislative bill and thus
facilitate passage. 1t is recognized
that II would be passed in that way
more quickly than il a separate meas
ure.
The Heating bill would provide for
an increase OF 80 per cent in pay in
the case Of the lower paid. The sub
committee inclines to a 20 per cent
increase for the lower paid.
The legislative bill carries a total
OF $6e.535,T9S and as usual provides
for a large number OF salaries. II Is
over S13.o00.O0O larger than the same
bill last year. Provision is made for
1,21S additional salaries.

Mr., Given declined to reveal how
Schroeder was detected, except TO say
that after a report was made OF the
theft Of plans from the War Depart
ment, detectives went to the Schroe-
der home and procured the evidence
which resulted in SchrOeder's indict-
ment. Mr.. Given said that detectives
found a lot of papers, prints, and
pamphlets which Schroeder had taken
from the ordnance department TO
study but that these were of no
value.
The three prints mentioned in the
Indictment were not found. Schroeder
IS said to rank as one OF the most ef-
hcient craftsmen in the ordnance de-
Partment

During the sixteen years that
Schroeder has been employed by the
Ordnance Bureau he has worked in
two arsenals. In 1906 he started in
the Frankfort arsenal Here he
served as a craftsman for six years.
Returning to Washington in 1912, at
his own request, he was transferred
several months later.
This time he was sent to Water
town, Mass, where he worked in the
arsenal for q year. For the past five
years he has been with the local Of

Schroeder had no intimate friends
of German descent, his wife claimed.
She asserted that he was in no way

Love Of Home.
She also claimed that he was an
active church member.
"'My husband was a lover OF the

"Mr. Schroeder was born in New

Just where he studied mechanical

was born in New York. John
Schroeder, his father, though born in
Germany, came to this country as a
youth. He is now seventy years old.
Although Mr.. Schroeder's father was
a German, his loyalty to America has
never been questioned.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: ! am en-
gagged to a young man and have been

ents are against me and want him to
leave me, although ! have done moth
ing to them to injure them in any
way. When he and | became engaged
he asked me to be true to him ana
not go with any other fellows, and he
told me he would do likewise. After
he went back to camp he wrote to an
other girl and then wrote and told me
he would have to write to her to keep
peace at home.
DO YOU consider that he is true to
gme? What should | do under TINS
circumstance? Don't you think that
If he would do this before marriage
he would do it afterward? Should
leave him or tell him that he snail
have to take his pick between her
and me--parents or no parents?
NV parents have told me to write
to YOU and see what you have to say
G. l. S.
The man should take a definite
stand with his parents. He sould alb
solutely refuse to write to the other

feel. Unless he has the backbone and
great enough love to stand by you alb
solutely, give him up. You may suffeI

The child's iritability may be caused
by some physical disturbance. He
may have adenoids, or perhaps in the
past three months has lacked the
proper kind of food. Take him to
physician and have him examined.
Also have the physician recommend
proper diet. Be sure that the child
is getting enough sleep and fresh air.
For naughtiness the best thing you
can do is to deprive him of the things
he likes. Take away his favorite
toy for a week, do not let him have
dessert for dinner, or shut him in a
room alone for two or three hours.
All of these methods are very effec-
tive. Sometimes it IS necessary to
deprive the child of his dinner. This
should absolutely never be done unless
something nourishing is put in the
place of the dinner. Bread and milk

One of the resolutions adopted at the convention of the Cochise-Graham Cattle Growers association, in session in Wilcox, was one asking that the reward for the capture of the Powers Sisson outlaws be paid o'the widows and children of the men killed by the outlaws. The resolution recited that the outlaws victims, Kane Wooten, Mcbride and Kempton, were mem- bers of the Cattle Growers association and their families need the money. The resolution is directed to the gov ernor and it is explained that the out laws. having been captured by U. s. soldiers, who cannot receive rewards, the S750O should go to the families of the victims.
