PENSION FOR
CIVILIANS
IS new PLAN
Provision for This Made in
Lighthouse Bill Approv-
ed by Wilson.

Washington, July 25.-Thel first
provision ever made by the govern
ment for ~pensioning civilian employees
is contained in the annual lighthouse
bill recently approved ny President
Wilson.
A retirement system is instituted.
permitting optionals retirement al 65
years for those having 80 years active
service and making retirement con1-
pulsory at 70 years. Pensions will be
computed on ~one-fortieth Of the aver
age 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 re-
tirement system. In any case, the pay
shall not be more than thirty-fortieths
of the annual average.
Despite several qualifying clauses.
the bill is regarded by government
enpsoyes and officials advocating a
general civilian retirement system, as
q marked step forward. Only an
ployes in the field service and on YES
sells come under the law, those con-
tinuously employed in district offices
and shops being excluded. The pro-
vision that service only in branches of
the government having retirement
systems 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, sailors, marines and employees
of IN Coast Guard, all of whom have
benefit Of the military retirement sys-
TENS. to enter the service without
prejudice to their record.
In keeping with the generally adj
vancing trend of wages, the limit for
the average pay of lightkeepers was
increased by the bill to $40 from
$500. at which it was fixed more than
half a century ago. superintendent
of districts. were advanced from 3d.
400 to $4,000.

RAIDS FOR ARMS CONTINUE.

Dublin, July 24.-Raids for arms
continue in Ireland and some are re-
ported daily. AS a rule the Sim
Feiners meet with no resistance in
communicating whatever weapons
are discoverable in a rai3ed house.
But occasionally the owners fight and
the raiders suffer. An attack was
made recently by six armed men with
blackened faces on a woman's house
at Ferbone. A retired army >oficer
living in the house captured two Of
the raiders n drove the others
away. The prisoners were committed
for trial to the Assizes.
In a case near Tulsk, in Roscom-
mon, a party of men with blackened
faces raided a farmers house in
search Of arms. They demanded his
gun. and, when he refused dragged
him out and handled him roughly.
escaped into the house and finding
his u turned it against his assail-
ants who fed.
The weapons seized by the Sim
Feiners are in many instances seized
by the police in counter-raids. The
other day several shot guns and am
munition were found in Tipperary.. In
one house during the seizure the
police came upon a hoard of one
hundred and fifty pounds in silver
which they took away.

RATHER BUY rHA NAN urAcruRE.

Manchester. England. July "a
Before the war, England, like the
United States, preferred to buy GER
tain manufactured articles abroad
rather than to make them. Magnetos
and insulating materials were pur-
chased from America, Germany and
Austria. Lenses for field glasses were
imported from Germany.
i. Now these articles are being turned
out in the munition factories Of this
district. Field glass lenses have been
giving better satisfaction to the army
and navy than any of German manu-
facture. '
Screw milling is another war de-
velopment in England. Not one in
1000 was made before in any other
way than in dies by skilled labor.
Today almost the entire supply of
screws used in the country is made
by the milling process, the machines
being operated by unskilled workmen.

ENDORSE PLAN TO
HAVE BAND STAND
ERECTED IN PARK

Members of the city commission
have heartily endorsed a move
mcnt, headed by Louis Sonneville,
to erect a band stand and comfort
station in Stephens park.
The city commission agrees to
head a subscription list with a sub
stantial amount to cover cost of
the building. Mr.. SonnevilIe stated
that with support of the city it
will easily be possible to obtain
enough money from the people of
Moline. Exact amount which the
city will give for the purpose de-
ponds entirely on the conditions of
the park department treasury. The
plans, as outlined by Mr. Some
Vile, are not complete, but do pro-
vide for a bandstand this year.
Notes band, sad Mr.. SonnevilIe,
will give at least four open-air
concerts, without charge, as soon
as the stand is completed. If the
plans go through the building will
be so arranged that comfort station
facilities may bG added at any
time. Mr.. SonnevilIe estimated the
cost at $3.50.
