Civil Service Board Rule Keeps
Federal Employees 0HGam-
paign Committees.

Federal employees cannot even do
clerical work for campaign COM
mittees for pay after working hours
This ruling OF the Civil Service Com
mission was announced today. The
commission held that any work with
a political committee. whether for i'm
mediate pay or for future reward. was
a violation OF the rule prohibiting
civil service employees from sngag-
Ing In politics The commission said
that while II believed that some work
with political committees would not
be a violation OF the rule. yyet it
would be so hard TO difrerentiste that
IL must rule that all work with po-
litical committees be barred.
ANSWER TO UNION.
The ruling is a result Of request
made the commission some time ago
by the Federal Employees Union ask
ing IL IL would be within the rules OF
the commission for Government clerks
TO do extra work after ofhce hours
for the different campaign head
quarters in Washington. 1t was ex-
planned that with the high cost OF iiv-
ing many Government clerks desired
to make extra money by working at
night in the Washington political bu-
reaus Of the different parties
COMMISSIONS RULING.
In reply the commission issued this
ruling prohibiting them from doing
this class of work:
The commission holds that any
work with political committee
should be prohibited, the whole or
ganization OF such a committee hav-
ing a purpose which classified en-
ployes are not permitted to further.
Under the division Of labor made
necessary by modern business meth
DDS one may be assigned to duties
which, II considered alone, would
seem far removed from active poll
tics, but which. when considered as
part of the whole must take on the
active political character of the
whole. One little wheel in a machine
may seem unimportant and far re-
moved from the actual seat of pro-
duction; it nevertheless performs its
humble function and contributes to
that production. To attempt to fairly
dinerentiate between workers under
political committees according to tho
degree OF Importance of their work
| would involve great difficulty"

FOOTBALL Is LEADING SPORT
There is Sentimental Attraction 10
Game Engendered by Fine Spirit
of Sportsmanship.

Football has long been the leadlng
college snort. There is sentimental
attra ction TO the game engendered by
tho fine spirit of craftsmanship which
exists in every college, big or small
In the nation. Football has advanced
with leaps and bounds in the last
dozen years. The modern game as we
see it today is still football OF OLD
shorn of it's rougher elements and
speeded up by the forward pass and
the omen game 1t is a great game TO
watch. It is spectacular in every as
meet. Individual brilliancy is allowed
to sweep across the field unhampereo
by the delicate organism of team
work. vet team work has its part
the greater part-in the success or
failure of the game.
From the point of view OF the spec
tator football is the king of sports, not
even barring baseball or horse racing
This is accounted for quite naturally
by the fact that the sentimental
/ alumni is on hand to cheer his alma
mater on and that the undergraduate
has a sweetheart, mother and a sis
ter somewhere in the thrOng of watch
ers. No sport can boast of this fac
tor to so great an extent as college
football.

Sporting club has always controlled it

Hamms, heavyweight, was the
champion and he was recently defeat
ed by Paul Journee, but this match
was not for the championship, there
fore Hamms still retained the title,
and in turn was defeated by Marcel
Miles, August 1, last, losing on foul
in the eighth round. That gives the
heavyweight title to Miles, although
no one in France would give him
ghost of a show against Carpenter.
The latter, of course, could easily
get the title by fighting Miles or chal-
longing, and, in case the latter should
decline the match, win it by
default, but the chances are Car
pentier will be content with the
! laurels he has.

Never Challenged for Title, Seeming

Whenever boxing fans or others dis
cuss Georges Carpenter and the fight
ing game they invariably refer to him
as the heavyweight champion OF
France. There is no doubt that he Is
the best boxer in all France, but the
fact remains, nevertheless, that he Is
not the recognized heavyweight cham
pion of France, but he holds the title
of Europe. Georges is the light heavy
weight champion Of France, while Nil
les is the heavyweight champion.
It is rather embarrassing at times
for Carpenter TO admit that he is not

other Georges never challenged or
fought for the heavyweight title, and
therefore does not hold it-nOt accord

COUNCIL DEFERS
RESOLUTION FOR

City In Need of Protection,
Says Fireman-Freyer-
muth Talks.

Without any apparent reason, the
common council Monday evening
for the third time held up the reso-
luton for the purchase Of three mo-
tor bumpers for the fire department.
The much debated resolution was
drawn up June p, and since tha,
time tossed back and forth between
the council and the committee while
the fire department is seriously in
need Of additional equipment.
Because the contract was award
ed to the American LaFrance Co.
instead OF the South Bend company
the debate started between the two
factions of the council. Councilman

the purchase of South Bend equip
ment, Monday evening made the
motion that resulted in the resolu-

chase of at least one pumper from

Gilman Hagey being the only alb
sentee during that meeting. it was
intimated that he would cast MS
vote along with the other three
councilmen. who, in their public
spirited attitude, are endeavoring TO
boost South Bend products.
Replace Old Apparatus.
However, the intimaion fell flat
as at the committee meeting il was
upon Councilman Hagey's vote that
the resolution received favorabl
report and again during Monday
evenings meeting II was his motion
that held up the resolution. The
three bumpers are TO replace the
wornout horse drawn fire apparatus
now In use at three hose houses. An
official of the fire department re-

not soon see fit TO purchase the ad-
ditional motor equipment II would
be necessary 10 replace the horses in
service. as they some time ago
