Government will Assist War
Workers to Find New Jobs

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-THE
thousands of civilian war workers in
the Government service who will soon
be dismissed because their services
are no longer needed Will be assis-
ted in finding unemployment thru
plans now being arranged by the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion.
On the recommendation Of the
Civil Service Commission the Fresi-
dent issued on November 29th an
Executive Order which provides that
the names OF persons in the competl-
tive classified civil service with I'M
restricted status who were appointed
either permanently or PROBATIONARY
prior to the date of the order, who
have served less than three years,
who are separated from the service
because of reduction of torce, and
who are recommended for further
employment by the Government be-
cause of demonstrated efficiency in
the office from which they are sepa-
rated will, upon request, De entered
by the Civil Service Commission up
on appropriate eligible registers for
reappointment, eligibility thereon to
continue for one year from the date
of separation. The unemployment
registers thus established will be
used so far as is practicable for fill
ing positions in the Government SER
vice.
1t is expected, however, that there
will be a surplus of eligibles on
these unemployment registers, and
in order that those who cannot DE
replaced III the Government service
may find positions in private employ,
the Civil Service Commission has ask
ed the cooperation of the Depart
ment of Labor in the work of find
ing suitable employment in private
establishments for dismissed war
workers who can not be further en-
ployed by the Government.
1t is the view of the Civil Service
Commission that the machinery of
the Government should be used to
the fullest extent in finding employ
ment for the war workers for it is
realized that a considerable number
of them entered the Government ser
vice at some personal sacrifice to help
with the war program.

equal to those days at Verdun. Most
all the time it was raining, and the
Huns used lots of gas On US, and we
managed to show them what real
American soldiers could do. They
ran so fast that we had TO get in
automobiles to catch them in some
places. Our big guns sure did do
wonderful work during our fighting,

Lieutenant Hemphill Views
German Surrender

Lieut.. John Hemphill, of Washing
ton, D. c., we'll known in Cambridge,
who is an officer on the flag ship Wy
oming, enjoyed the unusual oppor-
tunity of witnessing the surrender of
the German fleet, as well as of par
ticipating in the naval demonstra-
ton in honor of President Wilson's
arrival in foreign waters. In a re-
cent letter to his mother, he gives
an interesting account of the surren-
der, of which he had a wonderful
view from his station as ''main-top'
spotter.
Lieut.. Hemph;ll volunteered in the
service, enlisting as a chief boat
SWANS mate, and was promoted
first, to ensign, then to Junior Lieu
tenant, and then to Lieutenant. He
has been recomm ended by his super
ior officers for permanent retention
in the Navy.

feotc1A the uisve.sed portion of tha-ears
There is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by const1-
tutional remedy Catarrhal Deafness
is caused by an inf1amed condition OF
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it i sentire-
~ closed, Deafness is the result. I'm
less the Inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
thru the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
