Washington merchants, bankers

ber, when the Government pay roll
in this city will be increased almost
$4,000, 900 annually by the transfer
to this city from Philadelphia of

In one Of the emergency buildings

Despite the fact that several thou

ing the last few months, many of
whom are returning to their homes
in various parts Of the country.
housing conditions in Washington
are still acute, and may be even
more so by September, when hun
dreds of Washingtonians, who have
rented their apartments while hey
are away for the summer, return.
Already far-sighted employees of
the Fleet Corporation in Philajel-

apartments be reserved for them
beginning with the month of Sep

a result of this influx. they said
THE morning. 1t was thought that
in some few cases rents might ad-
vance. but in the majority of the
cases they would remain about the
same.
The Division of Construction and
Repairs of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation was originally in Wash
ington, but in May, 1918, was moved
to Philadelphia, taking almost 1000
employees from this city, nearly all

CABINET GETS
PENSION ROW
MuddIe Over Retirement Law
Taken Up to Determine UNI
form Interpretation.

The muddle over the Civil Service
retirement act came before the Cabi-
net today.
Government officials are alarmed
over the chaos resulting from the Diff
fering policies of the various DEPART
ments with reference to the enforce
ment of the act and hope to arrive at
a united policy.
Outraged over the policy of Com
missioner of Pensions Saltzgaber,
who plans to retire every seventy
year-old clerk in his bureau auto
matically next week, a group of these
superannuates have gone over his
head" and appealed their case to As
sistant Secretary of the Interior Hop
kins, in the absence Of Secretary John
Payne, who is now in Alaska.
TROUBLE IN TREASURY.
A big storm is brewing in the Treas
ury Department because no depart
mental policy has been determined
upon, but each bureau has been left to
interpret the law regarding retire.
ments in it's own way.
The War Department Is reverberat-
ing with protests because of reports
that Secretary of War Baker plans to
follow the policy of Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson and Commissioner Saltz-
gaber and retire all the seventy year
old clerks automatically. without ref
erence to their efficiency
The final desperate effort to save
these clerks will have to be made
this week, because they will be auto
matically retired July 20 unless some
stop action is taken in the meantime.
IGNORE PAYNE RULING.
The storm-center Of the controversy
Is the fact that the War and Postoffice
Departments, and the Pension Bureau,
are flouting and ignoring the general
policy adopted by Secretary OF the
Interior Payne four weeks ago. This
policy drawn up by a committee COM
prising r.. ]. Ayers, chief clerk OF
the Interior Department, Charles d.
Mahaffie, counsel OF tho Interior DE.
partment, and Commissioner Saltz-
gaber himself, centered around these
points:
THAT no arbitrary or nxsd rule
can be made applicable to the retire
ment of all employees.
THAT Il will be necessary TO con-
slider each case on It's merits.
"That all such persons as are neces
sary to the service be certified for
continuance in the service: that is, in
applying the ru'e. the only test shall
he the good Of the service. That per.
sonal consideration affecting the en-.
ployes ought not and must not be
considered as a reason for certify
ing such persons for continuation in
the service"

! The Empress Eugene is dead at
! the age of ninety-four. Her many
sorrows, pathetically described, are
ended forever. She lost throne.
Her boy, the Prince Imperial, was
killed when he went fighting with
the British against the Zulus.
That was sorrow, but because she
pushed France into the war with
Germany, hundreds of thousands
of French mothers were forced to
lose sons, perhaps better than the
Prince Imperial.
Life and the nature of women
are strange. Leaving out the death
of her son, it is probable that the
greatest sorrow in Eugenie's life
was the fact that other Queens
and Expresses in Europe would
have nothing to do with her after
{. Napoleon III made her Empress.
Boycotted by royalty she never
"arrived" socially. Millions of
women in this country can testify
that that is REAL sorrow.
New Zealand governs herself,
keeps out Asiatics, owns her rail-
roads, lets public contracts to OLD
workingmen in groups that they
may earn all they can, transports
labor to the farms free of charge,
allowing it to pay its way back,
regulates foreign ownership of
land, without making any excep-
ton in favor Of Britishers. Now
New Zealand builds houses for
workingmen with public money,
sells the houses at cost, allowing
workers to pay for them in in
stallments.
Down there they call that
common sense solution of the
housing problem. Here we should
call it Socialism or Bolshevism.
1t seems to US, enlightened de-
scendants of Franklin, jefferson,
and the others, that there is some
thing criminal in the suggestion
that a workman's family should
live in a house out of which no
profiteer has made dollar.
An artist wanted to make a pic
ture of the electric chair in Sing
Sing prison. Major Lawes, war
den. wouldn't let him. The warden
saws the electric chair has nothing
to do with art.
Nevertheless art might well have
something to do with the electric
chair. When you see, at Cologne,
Rubens' picture Of st. Peter cruci-
fed, head downward, and when
YOU see other pictures of tortures
inflicted on courageous martyrs,
YOU despise cruelty.
Anything that makes people
hate cruelty is useful.
A picture Of the electric chair,
rs a really great artist might
present it, in all its brutal horror,
might well be hung up in every art
gallery. 1t would make men hate
the ignorance that makes a COM
mon executioner Of science, and
seeks to bring government down
to the level Of the murderer, kill
ing as he kills.
A human being strapped in the
electric chair, ami a second later
straining hideously, turning pur-
pie, while reporters watch his soul
being shot into hell or heaven, isn't
a pleasant sight. The public
should be compelled to see it, in
order 10 know what government
does in the public's name.

SAGE TEA OARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's An
0Id-time Recipe That Any
body Can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its
natural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used II to keep
her hair beautifully dark. glossy and
attractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked APP
pearsnce this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy
and out-of-date. Nowadays, by ask
ing at any drug store for a bottle
of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
tion OF other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says II darkens the hair so natur-
ally and evenly that nobody can tell
Il has been applied. You simply
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
II and draw " through your hair,
taking ono strand at time. by
morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two,
II becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.
