tries must absorb the greater part of
the millions of men who made up our
lighting forces. Soldiers and sailors

the conflict are incapable of returning
to their former occupations must be re-

into many other new lines of work.
such as insurance for soldiers and
sailors. Each one of these things
will make work for the civil estab-
ishment. In Che aggregate they will
keep thousands Of clerks busy.
A point which Is not generally I'M
derstood is that the war workers in
the civil service who were appointed
as the result of competitive examina-
ton and certification by the Civil
Service Commission are not temporary
employees in the sense that their APP
pointments were made for a limited
period. Those who thus qualified have
the same civil service status as regu-
lar appointees before the war ex-
pansion. Any employee of the civil
service may be dismissed when it be-
comes necessary to reduce the force.
and the older employees are not in
different class from the new war
workers in this respect. But, of
course, it Is natural to expect that
the recent appointees will be the first
to be dismissed unless through DEM
onstrated ability they have proved to
their superiors that they are more
valuable in the office organization
than older clerks.
The Civil Service Commission, fol-
lowing an order OF the President,
dated Noember 20. 1918, issued at the
request Of the commission, has
adopted q plan whereby departments
and offices which contemplate reduce

tons shall make report in advance
of such reductions to the commission
of the names and grades of the en-
ployes who are to be dismissed be-
cause their services are no longer
needed, in order that the commission
may certify the names of such en-
pioyes who have proved their eff
cheney to fill vacancies in other de-
partments and offices which are in
need of additional clerks. In an or
ganfzation of such vast extent as the
federal civil service changes are
d IT. and 1t seems to be the part
OF common sense to fill vacancies,
where practicable, from available
material already in Washington. and
thus give the government the benefit
or the services of trained and efficient
clerks. rather than to bring in new
appointees to fill vacancies.
-, Under the law an employe of de-
government in Washington cannot be
transferred to another department or Of
flee In Washington until after three
years Of service. The utilization in an
other office Of the service of an efficient
clerk who has not served three years
and who is about to be dismissed has
been made feasible, however, by a
change in the civil service rules by ex-
ecutive order. Under the rule as it for
merly stood, a person separated from
'io 'eI Vice WltnOut uellnQuenCy or mis-
conduct could have his name restored to

tail market prices, as paid on Novem-
Der by a big hotel of Tours for it's

Concerning onions, the dietician of
the hospital at Chateauroux says that
among several thousand ordinary
wounded there are 500 light diet cases
who are not allowed to eat meat more
than twice a week. For these her
buyers had to pick up onions in small
quantities, SO that three days buying
furnished one meal for the 500 light
dieters-with no onions on the side
for the general run Of patients.
