Illness of Fokine
Forces Postponement
Of Dance Program

Due TO the sudden and serious ILL.,
ness of Michel Fokine. the noted
Russian dancer. it has been found
necessary to postpone the appear
ance of Fokine and Fokina, sched-
uled to have taken place this after
noon at the National Theater.
Mr.. Franklin Kline. manager of
the Chamber Music Society. under
whose local direction the FokInes
were to have given their series Of
dances. was apprised by wire late
last night of Michel Fokine's sud
den attack of influenza. The noted
dancer, who originated the Ballet
Russo, was SO badly stricken with
the prevalent disease that it was
impossible for him to appear at a
scheduled performance in New
York. and his wife. Vera Fokina,
was forced TO go on alone and pre-
sent her program OF dances.
Mr.. Kline, rather than bring Vera
rFokina here alone when he had
announced the appearance of both
stars, decided that he would rather
postpone the event and arrange for
a later appearance of both. Pres
ent indica tons point to the after
noon Of. Thursday. February &c. as
the tentative date for their joint

SENATE TALKS LONG
ON RETIREMENT BILL

Debate on the LehIbach Sterling
Civil Service retirement bill con-
sumcd several hours of the Senate's
time yesterday afternoon, but failed
to bring il to a vote. The galleries
were crowded with Civil Service
employees who were openly disap-
pointed when the Senate adjourned
without voting on the bill. The
question will be taken up again in
the Senate today.
The debate. chiefly between Sem
ator Sterling. who supported the
bill. and Senator Smoot, who op-
posed it. hinged on the meaning of
the word superannuated." Senator
Smoot and Senator Pomerene de-
clarinE that a man between so and
g. years of age. who might retire
under the Sterling bill, is not su-
perannuated.
IF that is correct definition"
said Senator Pomerene. thirds
of the Supreme Court and most OF
the Senate are superannuated and
should have been retifed ere this"
The Sterling bill contemplates
contributions from the government
employees amounting to 37.7s per
cent of the retirement disburse-
ments, the Federal Treasury sup
plying the remaining 62.3 per cent.
The retirement age is fixed at CO
to 65 years. An amendment by
Senator Pomerene would retire en-
pIoyes at 20 and provide retirement
funds by a graduated scale Of as
sessment on the employees salary,
depending on the age at which he
entered the serviceJ

COSTS

Cooperative Association
Buys Sugar and Other
Foods by Carload.

The Federal Employees Co-opera-

in reducing the cost of living here,
has established headquarters in the
Franklin National Bank Building.
The organization is incorporated
under the laws Of the District.
Beginning with handful of en-
ployes in one of the government
departments during the sugar
scarcity. the organization obtained
substantial results and now gives
promise of becoming an effective
factor in the fight for. lower prices.
A carload of sugar. bought on
the cooperative plan at a lower
rost than any quotation IN Wash

the idea of securing other articles.
Investigation of the grocery ausi-

This gave the association its cue.
IF We can get together, deal di-

have him ship direct to Us, We will
eliminate this overhead" was the
conclusion. The organization grew
rapidly. Anyone now is invited
to become a member. A member
ship fee Of 81 is charged. which goes
toward paying for the delivery of
all orders to the door of the buyer.
Truck deliveries are made once a

and eight for the government. The
case was continued until today.
