SILVER DIME isn't much of fortune, that's
CV true But dime day saved for year would
be quite little help. Here are some of the things it
weuld do. It would buy new suit Of clothes 1t
would pay for a weeks vacation this summer 1t
would pay for lot of Christmas presents for poor chill

things you might want. Don't despise the dime be-
cause it is small Little drops of water make an ocean,

REPORTS In FAVOR
OF LEHLBACH BILL
House Committee Approves
Measure to Restore Jobs
To Workers.

The House Committee on Reform
in the Civil Service yesterday re-
ported favorably the LehIbach bill
to reintate at once to former posi-
tions all civil service employees who
have been separated from the serv-
ice without annuity.
The bill provides that such pc
RODS of separation shall be includ-
ed in any computations of length OF
service to determine annuities.
1t also is designed to clarity cer-
tain provisions of the retirement
act dealing with the continuation
in the service of employees for two
years.
Should Information show. the bill
provides, that the applicant has
been efficiens and competent during
the two years next preceding his
application for continuance. the
head OF the department Shall car-
tify to the Civil Service Commits
sion that by reason of the effici-
ency and willingness of the ap-
plicant to remain in the service
the continuance of the employe
would be advantageous to the pub
lie Service" . ~
The bill also provides that any
employe who has heretofore been
retired notwithstanding an applica-
tion for continuance, shall be
granted a hearing by the Civil
Service Commission.

D. s. VALUATION
WOULD CONFUSE,
EXPERT ASSERTS
Would Bring Uncer'
tainty, Says Tariff
Commissioner.

Thomas Walker Page. chairman
of the Tariff Commission. told the
Senate Finance Committee yester-
day that the American, valuation
plan, as Incorporated in the Ford
ney tariff bill Will cause consider
able confusion In. the administration
of customs laws, that It win make
foreign business highly speculative
and that it WIN add another element
of uncertainty to business situa-
tion already chaotic. Page said
however, that ultimately the new
system Of valuation can be admin
istered successfully.
Page told the committee that q
decision on the matter should be
reached by balancing one chief ar
gument for the American valua'
tion plan against one chief argu-
fment on the other side. The CHIEF
argument against the plan. he said
was the dificulty of enforcement
and the general uncertainty as t.
the exact effect. The chief argu'
ment for the plan, he said. wal
the fact thattit would make pos
sibie equal duties on similar com
modities coming from countries
where the rate of exchange IN r.'
lation TO American currency differs
He admitted that the American val
uation plan would not entirely cor
rect the exchange situation, but sale
it would temporarily provide relief
William Burgess, another mem
Der of the Tariff Commission, strong
ly indorsed the American valuation
plan. Burgess said he spoke Al
an individual and not on behalf
of the commission. He was but re-
Gently appointed a member of tn,
commission, having acted as one o.
the experts assisting the Hous,
Ways and Means Committee I,
drafting the American valuation and
other administrative provisions o
the Fordney bill.
Burgess insisted that the proper
tion of imported goods which Is un
dervalued Is very large, and tha
by adopting the American valua
ton plan the full amount of dut,
intended can be collected by tn,
government.

only. after he had been subjected
to severe criticism for blocking d
recess - -
TT is dog days. and it is going
to be dog days for long while
said Mr.. Mann. 1--WE are wasting
the time of the House and of the
country, trying to fool the people
instead of having enough courage
to quit a while and go home"
Mr.. Mondell said the Illinois Rep
resentative was "too critical" that
it was necessary to pass the small
bills, and told the House that the
revenue bill would be reported
within three weeks.

haste in drafting the tax bill.
The sooner we pass a tax bin
the poorer IL will be-" he said. IF
the House remains in session dur
ing the dog days, God help the

PARIS, May e.@Georges Carpeil- tier, the champion heavyweight pti- gilist of Europe, is making final pre- para tions for his trip to the United States to meet Jack Dempsey for the worlds championship, with his man ager, Francois Descamps,, and trainer Paul Journee. he will leave tomorrow for Havre. where he will board the steamer La Savoie. Carpenter said today that he was anxious to get started.
 I'm delighted,'' he declared, Ito see approaching the day of my meet ing with Dempsey. for which l have waiting so impatiently. In a flaw weeks I shall face this killer of men"
 You don't seem much afraid" he was told.
 Nor am l." he answered smiling. "On the contrary I am quite deter mined to prove to my adversary that am not always a little lame."
 When asked how many rounds ne thought his match with Dempsey would go. Carpenter said: Dent ask me to make any predictions.''
 You know my method is to find the weak spot of my opponent as soon as possible. he continued. Tn any case I am going to the ring with the firm will to show I am the bet ter man; so will Dempsey. no dolsbt. I hope to win, but if the reverse should happen, I'll recognize DeInp- sey as the better man.
 T have neglected nothing that might help me win. and my work to get in the best of shape is unfinish ed. For that reason I am taking witn me my trainer, Journee."
 The French champion is leaving with the best wishes and confi1 ant hopes of his countrymen. There is rather a notable absence of cockSure- ness but there is a quiet belief that Carpenters cleverness. speed and good footwork will bring him home the winner.
 Ills intimate friends think he has steam enough in his arms to win 1e- cisively from the American cham pion.
