The divorce mill in the District Of
Columbia stood idle during most OF
1915. Only forty-seven divorces were
asked.
Home ties apparently are growing
stronger in the District. In 1905 there
were eiEhty-six divorces and in 1896,
the number was 163.
These facts are in Sam L. Rogers

oppoSItion to Changes.

If the wishes Of some OF the Gov
eminent employees who have for years
been fighting for the proposed PEN
sion legislation are followed the
'ffty-i ~ plan will be kept and th'
ages and amount OF contributions will
not be changed. The argument for
no change in these vital features of
the bill is that tho demand for econ
omy in the new Congress will be great
and to try to get the Government to
pay more than was involved in the
bill of last session may prevent any
legislation.
Congressman Esch OF Wisconsin Is
the new chairman OF the House Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce. whicl
had Jurisdiction of the bill last S ).
sion. Esch Is favorable to legislation
and he soon will be consulted BY
members OF the joint civil service re-
tirement committee. il is assumed
the bill will go to that committee
again, but there Is the possibility that
because railroad matters are going
to take up so much time in that COM
mittee in the extra session II may
be sent to some other committee. II
the Senate, the bill will go to the
Civil Service Committee, Who will
head this is not yet settled. II may
by Senator Colt OF Rhode Island. He
Is a warm friend of the cause OF
pension and retirement legislation.
The Washington times., 1919-04-22
Disability Pensions.

Another matter which the subcom-
mittee will recommend will be a dis
ability pension or annuity. The bill
as presented last session did not con-
tain provision for a pension to apply
to those cases of physical or mental
disability before reaching retirement
age.
The most difficult question be-
fore the subcommittee Is whether C
adhere to the "ifty-fifty" plan fol
making up the fund, or TO change thit
so the Government will furnish mois
than so per cent Correlated with this
is the question OF whether to max.
the proposed annuities larger and tht
retirement age an earlier one.
IL the annuities are made larger
and the retirement age earlier, II is
apparent that the aggregate fuI.d
must be larger. Some propose to ir-
crease the payment by the Govern
ment accordingly. It is not believed
possible to get the Government en-
ployss to unite on a contribution Of
more than SO per cent, which involves
a ~ per cent deduction from pay.
This is the utmost the postal cm-
ployes are willing to give. At least,
that has heretofore been their posi-
ton.

Federal Employees Debate Dis
ability AIlOtmentS and EIlmi-
mating $3.50 Provision.

Important changes in the Pension
and Retirement Bill for Government
employees are being considered by q
subcommittee OF the Joint Civil Serv-
ice Retirement Committee, which is
representative OF the employees Of the
various departments.
The subcommittee includes Govern
ment employees who have been active
in seeking a pension and retirement
law, such as: John s. Beach, DR.. c.
EdeF Reed. z. ]. Ryan, Thomas J.
FIaherty, DR.. Llewellyn Jordan, c. w.
Clark ana others.
The sub-committee will take all OF
these proposed changes In the Keat-
ing-McKellaT bill up at a meeting
Thursday and probably will settle def
initely on its recommendations.
One of the propositions on which
the men actively in charge Of the pro-
posed legislation for the Government
workers have determined, Is to make
a united and strenuous effort to Sc
cure legislation in the extra session
of the new Congress.

CA'TARRH is

branes of the nose and air pas
sages, which choke up and make
breathing very difficult. To get
rid of these distressing effects
you must remove their cause.
The blood is laden with the
Catarrh germs, which direct
their attack against the tender
and delicate membranes of the
nose and throat. These germs
cannot be reached by sprays or
douches, which, of course, have
no effect whatever upon the
blood.
S. S. S. is a purely vegetable
remedy, made from roots and
herbs direct from the forests,
which combat promptly any dis
ease germs or impurities in the
blood. This great remedy has
been used for more than fifty
years, with most satisfactory re-
suits. 1t has been successfully
used by those afflicted with even
the severest cases of Catarrh,
because it drives out from the
blood the Catarrh germs, and
eliminates every foreign SUBJ
stance from the blood. S. S. S.
is sold by druggists everywhere.
For the benefit of those af-
flicted with Catarrh or other
blood diseases, we maintain a
medical department in charge of
a specialist skilled in these dis
eases. If you will write us fully,
he will give your case careful
study, and write you just what

quires. No charge is made for

BUT YOU CAN'T RELY
ON SPRAYS AND
INHALERS.

There is no use permitting
yourself to be deceived. Per-
haps, like thousands of others
afflicted with Catarrh, you are
about ready to believe that the
disease is incurable, and that
you are doomed to spend the
remainder of your days hawking
and splitting, with no relief in
sight from inflamed and stop
ped-up air passages that make
the days miserable and the
nights sleepless.
Of course this all depends up
on whether or not you are will
ling to continue the old-time,
make-shift methods of treat
ment that you and many other
sufferers have used for years
with no substantial results. If
you are still content to depend
upon the use of sprays, douches,
inhalers, jellies and other like
remedies by themselves, that are
applied to the surface and can
not reach below it, then make up
your mind now that your Ca
tarrh will remain a life COM
panion and will follow you to the
grave.
You must realize that the dis
ease itself, and not it's symptoms
is what you have to cure. OF
course you know that when you
are cured of any disease its
symptoms will disappear. Ca

Patrol Aeroplanes
Make Border Safer

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 1.-American
army airplanes patrolling the Texas
Mexico border have done more than
any other one thing to check raids
into the United States by Mexican
bandits from across the Rio Grande.
according to Captain Jerry Grey of
the Texas Rangers, who has been sta
toned in the Big Bend district.
The Big Bend district is considered
the worst section of the border" Cap
tain Grey said, but the Mexican out
laws have learned to dread the speed
and observing power of the men in
planes" The alarms get to the army
posts and the cavalry and rangers
turn out too quickly now to make
raiding across the border as safe and
lucrative as in former days.
