The positions for which no salaries

cording to an article by DR.. Bowe
man appearing in this weeks issue
of the publication of the joint confer
ence on reclassification.
In discussing this move on the part
OF the library advisory wage commit
tee. DR.. Bowerman says. in part:
''It ought. perhaps. to be pointed out
that the foregoing classification is
sional and mi-professional grades
of employment in government libra
ries. 1t is understood that libraries
will also have in their employ per-
sons classed in clerical grades. in
cluding, for example, those designated
in the reclassification report as ''un-
der clerks with recommended sala-
ries of $1,0S0. s1.140. $1,000, $1,260: also
typists, stenographers and secretaries
of various grades. together with mes
sengers. pages, engineers, janitors,
cleaners. etc.
Thirty-Seven Classes.
'The library service classification
as now adopted consists of thirty
seven classes exclusive of the phila-
telist, which, in the opinion of the
committee, should be transferred to
the art service). twenty-one of which
are clearly single position classes and
several others of which fit practically
but one position each. On the other
hand, several of the other classes are
so closely specialized as not to fit ac-
tual cases. for even in highly special
lied government libraries, the same
individual often does several kinds
of work and reassignments within an
organization are not infrequent.
IAN attempt in several Libraries to
allocate librarians into the classi-
fication as now set up has already
shown it to be so narrow and specific
as often not to fit actual cases with
out straining. AS a practical matter,
therefore. a broader classification is

TWENTY-SIX PENSIONED
BY CITY Government

Twenty-six veteran employees of the
city government are putting in their
last day of service today, for at mid
night they go on the retired list along
with scores of workers in the fed
eral departments.
All of these employees are seventy
years or older and many of them
have been serving the city for more
than a quarter of century. A few
have been in the service thirty and
thirty-five years. Twenty-three of
the total number are men and three
are women.
The District government is the only
branch of the classified service in
Washington that has authority under
the retirement law to fill Immediately
the vacancies caused by the retire.
ments. Exception was made for the
city government because the Dis
trict's force was not increased dur
ing the war and it was feared that
the operation of the retirement law
might handicap some branches of the
city government in functioning.

HUNGER STRIKERS
RIOT IN PRISON;
OUELLED BY HOSE
Conuicts at Baltimore
Tear OutLights and
Escape From Cells.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. Md, August 20.-More
than fifty hunger strikers" started a
riot in dormitory of the Maryland
penitentiary here early this morning
Shortly before o'clock the men, who
had been segregated, tore out the elec-
trio lights and, with the building in
darkness, started demonstration that
lasted for two hours.
Breaking out of their cells in some
unknown manner. the men though un-
able to get out of the building, set up
a shouting and general racket that
could be heard for blocks. City police
men responded to riot call. but had
little success in quelling the disturbance
because of their inability to see the
rioters in the lnky darkness The
warden then rcsorted to fire hose. sew
eral streams of water being played upon
the men by fire companies called to
the prison. The prisoners then began
to quiet down.
This mornings demonstration resulted
from strike few days ago of prison.
ers, who declared they would not work
unless given a better variety of food.
The warden met their ultimatum with a
declaration that any man who would not
work would not eat. All but about
fifty of the men went to work.
Dormitory Is Wrecked. T.
Dormitory c, in which the prisoners
participat ting in the riot were segre-
gated, is wreck today. The big
steel gate leading to the yard was
badly bent; cell doors and interior iron
bars were wrenched from their places
and gaping holes were dug in the brick
walls. The maddened convicts had al
most succeeded in reaching the yard
before they were driven back by the
guards.
1t was still dark when the police
and firemen arrived, and after firing
few shots through the windows the
besiegers settled down to wait for day
light, and for two hours the f1remen,
police and guards stood outside the
building, hearing the curses of the
ccnvicts as they finished wrecking the
place.
Shower Missiles ON Police.
AS soon as it was dawn the gate
was wrenched open and the police
and firemen dashed through, the
prisoners retreating to the top tier
of the building. from which vantage
point they showered missiles upon
their attackers. BY this time the
firemen had gotten four streams of
water into action and the convicts
were driven into a corner. Seeing
the futility of further resistance, they
threw up their hands in surrender.
The only casualty reported was the
injury of a fireman by flying brick.

Doctor Tells How to
Detect Poison Inv

How do you tell poison oak and
poison ivy from harmless vegetation
Very few city jewellers who go to the
country only occasionally know.
A doctor offers this explanation:
Poison ivy and poison oak occur
as woody vines, or as low erect plants
or trailing shrubs" Peters says. They
are distinguished most readily by their
leaves, which are always divided in
threes and by their smooth. waXy
fruits, which resemble mistletoe Der
ries.
Contact with the poison ivy causes
in many persons, an annoying inflam
nation of the skin. Nature of this
phenomenon long has been a matter OF
study, but 1t now seems to be estab
lished that it is due to an oily princi
pie, which can be extracted from the
leaves, roots, flowers and green fruits
of the plant.
Thorough washing Of hands with
soap and water Immediately after
touching poison ivy is found of con
siderable service in preventing usua.
Inflammation of the skin. No specific
treatment is available. Nothing /:
better than immersion in hot water fo1
relief from itching. Ointments nevel
should be applied in the acute stage
Bicarbonate Of soda, made into a yer.
thin paste with water, may be help

CHAINS BOY TO POST
IN BARN, IS ARRESTED
(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. July o.
Louis D. Wueser, %, of Indianapolis,
was arrested today on a charge OF as
sault and battery after neighbors
had complained he had chained his
younger brother. Andrew, IL, to a
post in a barn at the rear of their
home.
When police arrived at the Duesser
home they found that the boy had
been released by two companions
who had filed the chain apart.
Andrew said he had been chained all

his brother up to break him of the run
away habit. Andrew was taken to
the detention home when he said he
was afraid to go home.
