BILL TO PENSION
 CIVILIANS HAS BEEN APPROVED

Washington, July 25-The first pro- vision ever made by the government for pensioning civilian employees is bill recently approved by President Wilson.
 A retirement system is instituted, permitting optional retirement at 65 years for those having 30 years ac- tive service and making retirement compulsory at 70 years. Pensions will be computed on one-fortieth of the average annual pay during the last five years of service multiplied by the number of years spent in the Lighthouse Service or some other branch of the government which has a retirement system. In any case the pay shall not be more than thirty fortieths of the annual average.
 Despite several qulifying clauses, the bill is regarded by government employees and officials advocating T general civilian retirement system, as a marked step forward. Only em- ployes in the field service and on yes sels 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 qualify ing for pension imposes strict limi- tation on the transfer of veteran work CTS from civilian departments to the Lighthouse Service, while permitting soldiers, sailors, marines and em- ployes of the Coast Guard, all of whom have benefit of the military retirement systems, to enter the Ser vice without prejudice to their rec ord.
 In keeping with the generally ad- vancing trend of wages, the limit for the average pay of lightkeepers was increased by the bill to SS40 from $500, at which it was fixed more than half century ago. Superintendents of districts were advanced from $2,- 400 to $3,000.

INSURANCE NOW | AGAINST DAMAGE FROM 5000 SHELL

Paris, July 25-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-The German advance has brought into Paris "anti bombardment insurance" The ono company allowed to do such business will insure any given property only against damage from 5000 shells. If | the Germans were to reach a point where their huge 350-centimeter guns could effectively batter Paris, and were to pour 5000 in without dam | aging any given piece of property, it's ! owner would have to reinsure against the next 5000 shells.
 The price of the nti-bombardment | insurance has gone up to twice what the anti-airplane bomb policies cost.
 It means just six francs per thousand | of insurance if it is furniture and | other household goods that is being insured; eight francs per thousand if
 buildings; and twelve francs if any
 thing else.
 The insurance company also has | drawn up a scale of insurance against 1 personal injury from long range and
 other kinds of guns and airplane raids. | Thereby 1t is possible to insure civil
 ians up to 50,OOO francs at four
 francs per thousand in the districts
 nearest the present front; at ? 1-2 1 Thousand in Paris and it's immediate
 vicinity; at one franc in remoter de- l partments. and at 75 centimes in the
 most distant departments and in All i geria.
 The company, whose parent organ l
 utation in years past for taking any
 kind of a Sporting" risk in the in
 surance line, will not insure life for
 over 50,O0O francs unless special pre-
 miums are paid

In this way you are not asked to invest anything in order to do business, and every contestant is given the same oportunity of winning a solid gold or silver War Service Medal, with name of winner engraved thereon for his or her valuable and meritorious ser vices.
 Ask your parents to fill out the coupon attached at the end of this letter and return it at once in the enclosed envelope, no pastage being necessary.
 | Do not neglect this.

They are giving every thing; all you are asked to give Is a small share of your spare time, and the pledge of your parents willingness l to assist you. Will you fail your country in this crisis, or will you have your parents fill out the coupon Don't delay. Act now, and do your duty to yourself, to your country, and to all mankind.

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-07-25

The National War Savings Com mittee is asking the enlistment of all the school children of the city, in a contest for the sale of War Savings Stamps. The contest is under the di- rection of Isaac Moss, with head quarters in the office of William T. Hincks. The public, parochial and private schools are all invited to join and may enlist by communicating with MT Moss at headquarters.
 The new feature of the contest is the cooperation asked of the parents, who are asked to advance a sum e from $2 to $5 with which the child will make the initial purchase of stamps which will be sold and the money used to purchase more stamps. At the end of the contest the receipts for the last sales amounting to the sum borrowed from the parents are returned to them.
 The stamps for the contest may be purchased Nom the post office and sub"stations only, and a card which as furnished each contestant must be signed by the postal clerk making the sale.
 The. prizes will be a silver War Service Mezal with the winner s name engraved thereon, to one child in each school in the city who sells the largest number of War Savings and Thrift Stamps during the con- test, and a solid gold War Service Medal will be presented to the con testant selling the largest amount in the city.
 Upon application to headquarters the following explanatory letter will be sent to each applicant, and the ap- pended pledge must be signed by the parents, upon recenpt of which an official card is sent to the child with full instructions:
 To Contestants in the War Savings
 Stamps School Contest:

CANTALOUPE IS
 JUDGED BY NETTING

Las Cruces, N. M, July 25-In the cantaloupe kingdom beauty is only skin deep. It is by netting that the cantaloupe experts can judge the quality of the melons they buy for the eastern and northern markets. Shippers are preparing here for the annual melon harvest. Each of the crates is inspected by experts. The netting or cross-veining which ap- pears on the outside of the melon is examined closely. If it is well devel- oped stands well away from the skin the cantaloupe is of good quality. If the netting is thin and indistinct, the entire crate and often the whole load, is rejected.
 Cantaloupes are sorted into three grades: Ponies, mediums and jumbos.
