PAY BOOSTERS

Friends OF Federal RecIassifica-
ton Seek Aid Of Busi-
ness Men.

Resorting TO the argument that the
Goyernments business Is the peoples
business, and more especially that or
the business man. the Chamber OF
Commerce OF the United states will be
asked to give its strength TO the cam
paign for reclassihcation.
Reclassincation workers are pre-
pairing to place the entire issue before
every commerce body OF the country.
In an appeal now being prepared. EN-
paid and the demoralizing effect such
salaries and undesirable working con-
ditions are having upon the efficiency
OF employees.
1t will be stated that because OF the
salary question the morale OF entire
oftice forces has been shattered; that
many valuable employees are leaving
Federal service. and that hundreds OF
others intend doing the same unless
conditions are remedied Immediately.
Strong effort will be made TO con
vince business men that dissatisfac-
ton among the Government employees
and the accompanying inferiority In
their work has a direct or indirect
result on every business establish
ment throughout the country.
Reclassification workers feel con
hdent that their campaign in this
respect will meet with success. and
that because OF the large political in
flucnce held by the members OF the
commerce bodies they will be OF In
valuable aid when the recIassifcation
measure comes up for consideration by
Congress.

ASKALL YEAR
. HALF-H0[|DAY
Federal Employees Plan "ReIent-
less" Campaign for Short
Saturdays.
PUT MATTER TO CONGRESS
Also Demand Abolition OF Over
time or Extra Pay
for Work.

That the Government should be Q
leader" instead OF a trailer" in tho
matter OF the Saturday half holiday
all the year around was emphasized
this morning by the National Feder-
alton OF Federal Employees in an
nouncing that the Government en-
ployes will "see to II that their views
on An all-year-round half holiday are
placed before Congress in such a way
as to emphasize the reasonableness Of
their request"
While the federation fnds itself in
the midst OF vigorous reclassifica-
tion campaign, President Luther C.
Steward declared today that the or
ganization has no intention to relin-
Quish its efforts for the lettering OF
conditions for Government employees
along every line.
The federation is preparing to
wage q relentless campaign for con-
tinuous Saturday half-holidays dur
ing the year. This campaign will be
carried into Congress on the basic
argument that the custom OF such
ognixed in the business world. Con-
gress will be pressed for immediate
action on this issue.
The saturday half bay has been
question at issue ing govern
ment employees for some time. De-
partmental heads and other officials
have voiced their vigorous opposition
to the plan. 1t is now proposed to
come to q show down on the matter.
Congress will further be asked TO
make a decision on the question Of
the abolition Of overtime work, or
the payment at one and one-half or
double time for services in excess Of
regular hours.
Overtime work has been the basis
for much dissatisfaction among the
employees. There was very much OF
this work during the war and i'm
mediately after. The complaint OF
many employees is that they receive
no consideration for overtime work
either by added compensation or by
additional annual leave. Other en-
ployes, however. are given additional
leave.
The reclassifcation commission
studied the question thoroughly and
has recommended pay for overtime
work IL such work is necessary.

fhomas Z. Stone, director for the

cludes the District OF Columbia, on
a recent visit here took up with Pro-
hitition Commissioner Kramer the
question OF transferring the majority
of the cases from Commissioners Hit
to the United States branch Of the
Police Court, and also discussed IT
with District Attorney Laskey. Both
the commissioner and the District At

greater part OF the cases belonged in

least one case on trial every day, and
many days three or four. His docket
is filled with hearings for all this
month.
Taking from a United States COM

it was said at the prohibition Offices
today, is not a reflection on Com

tion of the prohibition law. Commits
sioner Hit will continue to try the
cases Of Illicit making of whiskey and
other intoxicating liquors, and will
also issue the warrants for searching
houses of suspects.
DRY OFFICIALS PRAISE HIT.
Commissioner Hit, the prohibition
officials said today, has been a great
help in the enforcement of prohibi-
tion, advising the less experienced
members of the revenue staff in the
legal intricacies Of their work and
telling them just how far they can

Plans for holding the liquor court
are not completed, but probably will
be in a short time. The cases prob
ably will be heard after the adjourn

presiding as in the other cases

Waters Toll For Year
Climbs To ~; Victims
Mostly Men and BOYS

There have been forty-four deaths
from drowning in the District of
Columbia this year according to sta
tistics compiled at the office OF
Edwin B. Hessc, chief clerk of the
police department.
Most of these deaths occurred dur
Ing the months OF May, June and July
although during the last month there
has been n decided decrease in the
number. According to the figures at
police headquarters, only four people
were drowned during the month OF
July.
A number OF persons were drowned
during the past month whose deaths
were not reported to the police.
Three of the four drownIngs, reported
at headquarters, occurred in the
Potomac river while one was In the
Eastern Branch.
This Is the FIRST year that no
drownings have happened as the re-
suit or canoeing parties. In other
years, drownings caused by canoe
tipping over were quite numerous.
There has been no falling Off in the
number OF canoeists on the Potomac
river but more care is being exer-
cised and less mishaps are result
ing.
The victims of most OF the drown
ing cases were boys or men, who
went in swimming beyond their
depth. Several of the swimmers
were seized with cramps while in the
water and succumbed before aid
could reach them. A few unidentified
bodies, discovered in the Potomac
lead the police to believe that those
persons sought the river as a haven

also adds the good word that he

affectedly worn by the dudes OF our

QUOTES SHAKESPEARE
Macdonald opens his discourse with
quotations from Shakespeare: "He
that hath a beard is more than a
youth; and he that hath no beard is
less than a man" And the Bible:
"Tarry ye at Jericho until your
boards be grown
Then on his own account. he says:
"You might as well shave the fur
oll DdNh, Hhu Sut 'hC
feathers from a bird, as to shave the
beard from the face. Today, the most
civilized peoples who inhabit the tenn
perate zones, the most favored by ma
ture have the richest boards"
Allowing the beard to grow would
give to man increased immunity from
coughs, colds, inflammation, and all
the rheums, according to Macdonald.
WOMEN WELL PADDED.
Women, he says, don't need the
beard as much as men do, because
they have more fat beneath the skin
of the face, and this special padding
is a good conductor and preserver of
animal heat.
'It has been objected that boards
and mustaches are unclean affairs"
he says. 1T goes without saying that
the beard should be kept scrupulously
clean. Peoples feet are sometimes
dirty, but that is no reason for cut
ting them Off"
Going into the proved history OF the
matter, the author says:
One OF the FIRST studies OF the beard

Viewing the growth OF beard
from another viewpoint-the artistic
angle, Macdonald points out that it

EVEN MOUsTACHE HELPS.
The moustache can serve to con-
ceal an ill-shaped mouth, bad teeth /;
thick, ugly lips, and hide the defects
of some peculiarly shaped noses; for
instance, 1t can shade off a nose.
Briefly. the beard and moustache can
very often improve the looks as well
as suit the fancy by the many styles
in which they may be cut"
other things TO be accomplished by
the beard. according to Macdonald,
are the warding of OF mosquitoes /;
