KIN MAY SECURE
# PENSION MONEY
Government Plans to Return
Pay Deductions in Case OF
Death of Clerks.

Blank application forms for the
payment of accumulated Deductions
under the civil service retirement law
were available at the bureau OF pen
sions today. The form is to used oniy
in case of an employee who mas cleo
without having reached the retlre-
ment age, or without having estao-
lished a valid claim for annuity.
The law provides that in case an
employee shall die without having
having established a valid claim for
annuity, the total amount of deduc-
lions paid in by him, representing IN
per cent of the annual salary, shall pc
paid to the legal representatives OF
such employe.
But Few Cases So Far.
A few cases already have occurred
in the department service here, al
though as vet the deductions are so
dollars in any one case. AS the
months pass by, however. and then
the years, the accumulated deduc-
tions will mount.
For the present it is deemed ad-
visable to distribute this form only
upon direct application to the com
missioner of pensions by the party in
interest. 1t is deemed important that
department officials generally be made
ACQUAINTED with the fact that IL Is
available for distribution.
Instructions to applicants for pay
ment of accumulated deductions state
that the form may be executed by
an executor. administrator, or in case
the amount of deductions with &C
crued interest does not exceed $500.
payment may be made after the eN-
piration of three months from date
of death to such person or persons
as may appear in the Judgment of
the commissioners of pensions to be
legally entitled to the proceeds of
the estate. and such payment shall
be a bar to recovery by any other
person.
A certified copy of the public record
showing death of the employee must
accompany the application. and if an
executor or administrator has been
appointed, or letters of administra-
tion have been granted. a certificate
of the court having jurisdiction must
likewise be filed.

D. C. COURT TO DECIDE
COMMISSION AUTHORITY
Opinion on Power of Federal Trade
Board May Be Asked of
Supreme Justices.

The question of the Federal Trade
Commissions authority under the law
IS now awaiting a decision by Judge
Hitz in the District Supreme Court
IL that decision is contradictory to a
1eclsaon by a coordinate judge in
Norfolk, a decision on the commits
SONS authority must come from the
supreme Court of the United States.
The Federal Trade Commission has
hau before it number of cases
some OF which progressed to the stage
where formal complaint was issued
which brought the case up for trial
before the commission
one of these cases involved four
ship chandler concerns in Norfolk who
went into the court and asked to have
the federal commission restrained
The court decided that no court could
issue such an order. and that after
the trial by the Federal Trade Com
mission the only recourse was in an
appeal to the circuit court
Similarly the Butterick Company of
New York has asked the District Su-
preme Court to issue an order re-
straining the Federal Trade Commits
sion, which is before Justice Hitz
awaiting his decision. The decision
win either confirm the Norfolk court
in UNFOLDING the authority of the
commission or it will be in direct op-
position to the decision already rem
dered by CO. ordinate court and so
leave the question open for decision
by. the United States Supreme Court

GARFIELD CITIZENS URGE
NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS
Street Repairs, Better Lighting and
Other Requirements Discussed at
Meeting Last Night.

Street repairs, added lighting and
other needed improvements were dis
cussed at a meeting of the Garfield
Citizens Association, held Tuesday night
in the school building. The secretary,
w. H. Lewis, jr.. was ordered to bring
urgent cases of needed improvements
before the District Commissioners as
soon as possible. The necessity for
opening Morris road from Hillsdale
to Alabama avenue, Garfield, also will
be brought before the proper au-
thorities by Mr.. Lewis.
The school committee recommended
placing warning signs along the road
near the school building, requesting
motorists to decrease their speed in
passing. Fences for the school
grounds were recommended. Resolu-
tons drawn by the school committee
were adopted by the association, and
the matter will be taken before the
superintendent of schools.
BY a unanimous vote the associa-
ton went on record in favor of re-
duced fares on street cars for chill
dren going to and from school. Frank
Corum presided at the meeting.

FIGURE PORK In TERMS
OF FORAGE TO ACRE

There are very strong indica-
tons that at last North Carolina
is about to assume her proper
position among the pork produc-
ing states.
For too long pork production
has been thought of in terms of
price of corn per bushel as COM
pared with the price of pork, in
stead of pounds of pork per acre
OF forage, supplemented with a
proper amount of suitable con-
centrate.
When so used corn will bring
a satisfactory price, and acres
devoted to crops other than corn,
and requiring less labor, may be
protitably used.
1t may be entirely true that a
hog raised in Iowa, freighted to
Chicago, dressed cured and re-
shipped to North Carolina may
furnish cheaper pork than is
raised by the farmer buying it;
but if such is the case, it is not
due to any advantage on the
part of the Iowa farmer, either
climatic or insurmountable.
When it is figured that after
deducting 100 pounds of pork
for each $50 pounds of corn, or
its equivalent, there is left an
average of between $50 and 375
pounds of pork per acre of for
age, at a labor cost of about one
half day per hundred pounds of
pork produced, this method of
using land appears more attrac-
tive during this time of labor
shortage; and more farmers are
looking at the matter in this
light than ever before.
One thing is certain: corn thus
used will be we'll paid for.
Harvesting corn, peanuts and
soybeans by hogs will reduce
the amount of labor and tend to
increase the price of that portion
of those products sold on the
as such.
When pork raised on the farm
is nicely cured before selling,
there is an additional profit
which pays well for the extra
time consumed during the sea-
son of the year when the rush is
over. This operation also con-
verts the hog into a finished and
mperishable product, and wild
ems the market, thus making the
producer independent of the
ocal butcher, who may not be
able to take his offering in the
shape of live or fresh dressed
)ork, when it is ready to go, and
t must consequently be held at
loss. W. w. Shay, Office of
swine Extension.
