placed the pair under arrest for
disorderly conduct.
When the policeman came home
he noticed that little wife made q
hurried switch from a house dress
to a smart street frock and ducked
out of the house almost furtively.
Interested but not exactly pleased,
he trailed along a block or so in
the rear. When she reached La
fayette Square she was greeted by
a strange man with an enthusiastic
hug and kiss. They proceeded to
bill and COO with the utmost dis
regard for matrimony or onlookers
while friend husband watched the
procedure with horrified fascina>
tion from behind convenient
shrub. Then he. advanced from his
observation post and invited the
somewhat disconnected couple to
transfer their lovemaking from a
park bench to a patrol wagon.

Submarine Capable of Sub

Somewhere, a few miles from the
Isle of Pines. a rich treasure awaits
the new submarine which will dare
to dive deeper than any other has
ever done. II is at the bottom Of
the Caribbean Sea- and consists of
a great store Of Jewels, gold and
twelve tons of silver bars. And that
is but one Of hundreds OF similar
hulls. full Of treasure. which cum
Der the bottom of the Spanish Main.
A British warship. the Hussar,
went down with over 100000 ster-
ling on board in gold in 1850. but
probably the biggest disaster of this
kind was when the British frigate
De Brook was lost off Lewis, U. S.
A. with f2.400,000 in specie and
jewels, the spoil Of an intercepted
Spanish treasure feet.
On one occasion five great plate
ships laden with treasure went down
in the same hour just east of Key

AGED employees
|STILLON ROLLS
D. c. PostoGce Workers
Unaffected by Burleson
Order.

Employees Of the District postof-
fee are still oficially unaffected by
the order recently issued by Post
master General A. s. Burieson
which rescinded his previous an
nouncement that "all persons work
ing for the Postofice Department
over the retirement age recently
fixed by Congress would be re-
leased" according to Merritt o.
Chance. Washington City post
master.
I have received no oficial au-
thorization to file with the Post
master General the applications of
those employees under me desiring
to be retained" said Mr.. Chance
last night. in discussing those in
the local postofdce eligible for re-
tirement
The last ofiicial order I received
concerning the attitude of Mr.. Bur-
leson on retirement" he said. was
that issued some time ago to the
effect that all employees of the de-
'partment over the age limit. re-
gardiess Of their ability Of EN-
cheney. would be released.
However, since the publication
by the press Of the changed at
titude Of the Postmaster General
on retirement. several Of my men
have submitted applications for re-
tention. In my ONCE there are
about twenty-seven over the age
limie, Of whom about nineteen have
asked to be retained. Half Of the
latter have mare their request since
the reported change Of ruling by
Mr.. Burleson."
More than 500 applications for
retirement from employees Of the
department from all over the coun-
try. over the age limit, were on
Mr.. Burleson's desk before the ZAP
pointed hour yesterday afternoon,
1880 o'clock. This deluge of re-
quests from many Of the oldest
postal workers was the result OF
the following order, issued by Nj
Burleson following a Cabinet meet
ing Friday:
The Postmaster General directs
that each bureau chief. superin-
tendent of division and head OF in
dependent ONCE of the postal es-
tabIishment shall prepare and place
upon the Postmaster Generals desk
all applications of superannuates
for continuance in once, with such
recommendations thereon that each
may see fit to make, in order that
the Postmaster General may act
upon said applications in accord
ance with the provisions Of the re-
tirement act set forth in Section 5
thereof. These applications TO be
on the desk of the Postmaster Cen
eral not later than 1880 o'clock p.
m. Monday, the -.th of July"
Action by Mr.. Burleson on these
applications will not be taken, il is
understood, until after the Cabinet
meeting today when a definite pol
icy will be outlined for the execu-
ton of the law in all departments.
Recommendations of release and re-
tention must be made to the Civil
Service Commission Wednesday.
The President, it is said, Is op-
posed TO retiring employees of tn"
government who are still eficient
and valuable to the service despit"
the fact that they have reached
the retirement age.

After / had marveled with her
confident statement that age is pre-

suring them a race of sons and

operation may do some of these
things for women:
1t may prolong their lives and
youthful beauty indefinitely.
1t may so develop mental activity
as to create a new type of feminine

1t eliminates csick" slants of

1t may correct perverted repro

Relative to this last possibility.

Nine. voronoff had this to say:
The exaggerated life lived in the
United States cannot help but set
up nervousness, even though II
be only a subconscious disturbance.
In every woman who lives here. no
matter how removed she may be
from participation in social or in
dustrial activities.
The life is productive Of won
derfully developed mentality. And
especially among women taking up
work or professions the brain is
equal to the pace they must main
tain while the nervous system is
not.
The brain goes ahead but the
body Is possessed Of insufficient
stamina to support mental fatigue.
The discrepancy sets up toxins
which settle in the most delicate
