SEEK RULING
ON PENSION
Civil Service Heads Ask Palmer
To Interpret Retire
ment Law.

Members OF the Civil Service Com
mission have asked the opinion OF At
torney General Palmer on certain
phases of the retirement law.
The certainty that the vast major
ity OF Federal employees reaching the
seventy-year age eligibility limit win
ask TO be retained in the service
rather than be retired, makes a legal
Interpretation OF the act necessary.
While the various bureaus and de-
psrtment heads themselves are to be
the arbiters of whether these aged
clerks are OF sufficient usefulness
and efficiency to be retained, the civil
Service Commission probably VIII
have good deal OF influence under
the conditions.
One OF the remarkable features Of
the present situation Is that the re-
tirement act is not undergoing a
wave OF .unpopularity among the Fed
eral employees. The prospect OF en-
forced idleness has been denounced In
heated terms by many superannuates.
who say that the annuities are en-
tirely too small in view OF the Present
level OF the cost of living, and some
of them have even talked or an
amendment to the law by which re-
tirement could be made entirely vol
untary
THE amazing fact is that II the
original draft Of the law, written by
the representatives OF the employees
themselves, had been accepted by
Congress-" said one official today.
"the age limit would have been sixty
instead OF seventy. and FIVE times as
many would have had to be retired
under 1t as are being retired now.
The fact is that the Federal employees
supported the act under the idea that
it permitted them to retire whenever
they pleased, provided they had
reached the age limit, and that there
would be no forced separations from
the Government payroll

COOL

RELIEF FOR 55 CENTS
There's a Little PLUS"
for Those Who Feel
In the Mood.

You can keep cool in Washington
II you have the price.
The coolest place In Washington
il open TO you for 55 cents-plus.
The 90 cents is the admission price
TO any roof garden OF the city. OF
course. no one is supposed to spend
only a mere half dollar at a roof
garden.
You have been to one perhaps, and
have seen the walters rushing back
and forth with dewy bottles in
buckets OF ice; seen the pretty
women slipping cooling drinks be-
tween dances. IL so, you know what
the plus" means.
The roof gardens in Washington
are very popular this summer Man
ayers say the crowds were never so
large. The Powhatan Hotel roof
garden has a capacity OF $50, and
the Washington Hotel roof accom-
modates 1876 nightly. The roof gar
dens are thronged nightly by pa
irons who seek relief from the heat
at the highest attitudes in the city.
Then, too, the lights OF the city, the
moonlight on the Potomac and the
wonderful views serves equally to
lure that 50 cents-plus.

SECRECY Wells
WH|SKEYPROBE
Revenue Men Active, But As.
sert Publicity Has Put Boot.
leggers on Guard.

A veil OF secrecy was thrown
around the actions OF the revenue
officers work against the bootleg
gers of Washington this morning.
Thomas Il. Stone. supervising pro-
hibition agent for the Maryland-Ohio
district, which includes the District
OF Columbia, said that nothing would
be given out at the local revenue
office until after arrests had been
made.
He said that the publicity given
the actions OF the revenue onicers
during the last few weeks had made
tit hard to make cases against the
men engaged in the whiskey trade
in this city.
Notwithstanding the refsual to give
out any Information. II was said by
some OF the people who knew what
was being done, that the big men
are slated for arrest this week. stone
this morning asked the reporters
about the big men," but refused TO
deny that the revenue officers were
after them.
According to Stone, the publicity
given in the local papers during thc
past week, outlining the plans or the
revenue men In their quest for the
bootleggers, has been the means OF
some OF the bootleggers skipping
town and made others clos up shop.
One of the officials OF the revenue
office. who is not connected with the
detection of the bootleggers. said that
while he did not know how the ac-
tiyiy OF the revenue men and the pun
licity of the newspapers had anected
the business of the bootleggers, re-
ports had reached hi mthat the price
had been raised due to the Increased
risk the whiskey traders were IN
curing lately.
United States Commissioner Hit,
before whom most of the bootlegging
and whiskey still operators have been
tried, said today that any informa-
ton, except the issuance OF search
warrants and warrants for the arrest
Of offenders, would be given out a.
his office
Commissioner Hit took the stand
that the object was to rid Washing
ton OF the bootleegers and Illicit
stills, and that it,. did not matter 10
the general public whether the press
or the revenue officers drove them
out of the city. He said that he had
isued two warrants this morning Tor
the arrest of liquor offenders, but
neither of them had been for the So
called big men,"
At the office of the local revenue
officers IL was said that Stone was TO
personally conduct a big raid this
afternoon. and was to assist In the
completion Of evidence against sew
eral other big offenders.

State Police In Pa. Put
Ban on Auto Spooners
Along Shaded Highways

MOUNT CARMEL, Pa, July Co.
A motorcycle cop chugged over his
weary way in the midnight hour.
AS he entered a covered bridge near
Paxinos he stopped suddenly. An
auto had been halted near the
middle of the bridge and in 1t were
a couple busily spooning.
The cop arrested the couple. and
the next day a heavy fine was i'm
