likes chicken better than anything
else in the world. and when he

George Swanson, $500 North

shadow going through his back yard
toward the chicken coop. A minute
later the shadow reappeared and,
not believing in ghosts, Swanson fol-
lowed. Very soon he found the old
darby, a bag, and in the bag a
chicken. which once upon a time
was Swanson's property. as was
brought out yesterday at the police
court hearing Of Mack.
Mack admits he is good chicken
thief in spite of the burden of the
"a summers he carried upon his
brow. Yesterday he proved to be a
good lawyer, too.
Judge" he said. II am an old

ing the civil war. l suggest that
you let me pay for the chicken and
then let me CO."
The judge accepted the challenge
and Swanson is now a dollar richer
and a chicken poorer.

"The raise in price has made petty

be from San Francisco to Honolulu,
and in my opinion, it would be rela-

DECREASE SHOWN
IN CIVILIAN FORCE
Net Reduction in Number of
Federal Employees, $500,
Commission Reports.

There has been a net reduction of
approximately $500 in the govern
ment's civilian force in Washington
since the signing of the armistice. ac-
cording to the latest estimate of the
CIVIL service commission.
Eleven thousand federal employees
have actually been separated from
the service since November, but about
1880 new appointments have been
made in that period. a large majority
Of these new appointees were persons
dropped from bureaus like the War
Industries Board and taken in by one
of the bureaus still busy with wal
work.
Expect Large Further Reduction.
IT is expected by officials that scores
of the woman war workers will go
home as soon as the free railroad fare
which Congress authorized for them
becomes available.
1t became known today that the
highest number of civilian war work
erS in Washington up to the end
of hostilities was 1000, November l.
The actual number of civilian en-
ployes on that date was $4,000 but
there were $4,000 in the service here
when the war started
Military Force Not Included.
This figure. s.. 900. does not include
hundreds of military men who were
detailed in Washington during the
war. The housing division of the War
Department has been unable to keep
track of the military personnel in the
District.
The Civil Service Commissions esti-
mate that the personnel has only been
reduced by $500 since November
means that there are now, approxi-
mately. $4,000 civilian employees of the
government in this city, 10000 of
whom were appointed during the war.
