 Year Unlikely
TRepublican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-There was no indication tonight how soon the senate debate on the railroad bill might end, but leaders agreed that enactment of legislation by the first of the year was out of the question.
 Senator La Toilette, republican, Wis consin who has talked almost con tinuously since Tuesday, still held the floor when the senate recessed until to- morrow, and he will continue then to attack the bill, designed to pave the way for return of the roads to private control. Senator Mcclellan, democrat, Tennessee, dividing speaking time with Senator La Toilette, declared the Cum mins measure would open the way for creation of the most gigantic trust in the history of the world, through pos sible consolidation seven years hence of all the railway systems. He assert ed the bill would permit such a merger
 Senator La Toilette contended that the railroads, as now operated, were making money despite their plea for higher rates; granted in the bill.

WILL FIRE GET YOU
THIS SUMMER

is your property going to be
burned this summer?
1t will depend largely upon your
own and other peoples carefulness.
That's why you are interested in
fire prevention and safety measures.
We handle fire in this country
much as a national plaything.
The grown-ups play with gasoline,
gunpowder and matches, and the
children follow close behind with
forecrackers. bonfires, camp fires.
etc.
We are a fire loving people and
that is probably why our fire losses
are the heaviest of any nation.
That is also why we must school
ourselves in fire prevention measures
Teach the children and teach the
adults that fire is dangerous and that
taking chances with it is almost as
much of crime against the COM
munity as leaving q dangerous bomb
to explode among helpless people.

CIVIL SERVICE JOBS FOR DIS
CHARGED YANKS

Washington, D.C.-Although there
is a desire on the part of congress,
the heads of executive departments
and the Civil Service commission to
recognize in all proper ways the claim
of returning soldiers, sailors and
marines to employment in the clas-
sified civil service, the Civil Service
commission feels that in order to
avoid misapprehension certain facts
should be brought to the attention of
the men.
The law provides for certain pref
.erences in sppointmtnt in favor Of
discharged soldiers, sailors and ma
rines. 1t should be understood, how
ever, that preference claimants mast
qualify in open competitive exalain-
ations unless they left the classitl..
civil service to enter the military or
naval service.
These examinations are announced
from time to time to meet the needs
of the service, They must be adya,r-
tised for a sufficient time to give
them due publicitF; then the papers
must be rated, registers established,
and claims Of preference passed up
on.
