Great navy yards of the country are
preparing to allocate employees ac-
cording to the scheme of the reclas-

District.
This was the word brought to the

Case Preventing Transfer.
The conference discussed present
conditions in the government service
in regard to transfers. A conspicuous
case was brought to light a few days
ago. A young man. formerly a soldier,
desired transfer from one ONCE 10
another He had been in the civil
service less than three years, which
barred his transfer, normally, and the
Office in which he was employed was
not reducing its force, and conse-
quently his case did not fall within
the exceptions permitted in case or
reduction of force. The employe was
thus forced to remain in a poorly paid
posi- ton, from which he had the op-
portunity to transfer and from which
ing to aid him in transferring, but.
owing to the existing legislative re-
strictions under which the employe
and the administrative officials labor,
both were powerless, according to
conference speakers.
Next week Independent establish
mentS of the government here will
meet to select key persons to repre-
sent the joint conference in these
various establishments. Tuesday night

where to look for Danny, and it didn't

tone. "Of course. If Old Mother Ma

me to do but obey" Danny finished.
Then his face became very sober.

Peter" said he. II wouldn't take such
a journey for anything or for anybody

AT sun-up tomorrow morning." re-
piled Peter. 1--WE meet every morning
at sun-up. Shall call for you on my
way there?

I'm laughing at the very idea Of me
with my short legs trying to keep. up
with you," replied Danny. Il wish
you would sit up, Peter. and take a
good look all around to make sure
that Old Man Coyote and Reddy Fox

Peter obligingly sat up and looked

the door of her room or allow the
other woman to see the baby, fear

the part of relatives of her husband
