LONDON, Nov. 19.-It befell that l
wanted to puy a map. 1t was map
of Richmond Park, one of the great
beauty spots on the outskirts of Lon
don, the pilgrimage of every Ameri-
can and the spot whittier Turner pro-
ceeded to paint his immortal sunsets
And l discovered that the British
Government had for sale u perfectly
charming map.
So | went to the institution known
as His Majesty's Stationery Office.
And certainly it did not seem to move
much. Anyhow, after a long wait,
young gentleman, complete with half
consumed cigarette behind ear and out
of elbows coat. came forward and ask
ed my business ! told him
I'VE don't sell maps he replied;
somewhat acidly. Go to His Majesty's
Office of Works"
And there / went. On the door
there was somewhat belligerent gen.
tleman, resplendent in medals. He
asked by business, | said | wanted a
map.
You want a pass, said he.
NO" l said, ~ want map
We'll" said he, you can't have a
map without a pass"
Applied for Pass
So | succumbed and duly filled in a
| form, giving my name in full, pri-
yate and business addresses and
place of birth, and was formally warn
ed that | could not leave the building
again unless same document was pro-
dueed to a properly accredited official.
Then | went up to the first floor and
J found three important gentlemen, who
discaimed all knowledge of the sale Of
maps in that building. But then |
met a fourth who had an inspiration.
You ought to see the Bailiff of the
Royal Parks" he said.
And | liked this title. ! had read
and heard a lot about baiiffs as peo-
pie who would grab ones household
goods on the smallest provocation, but
1t seemed that one with title like this
must be a real kindly, expansive per-
sonality. Finally found him. And
said. II want map" He took his
eyeglass out of his eye.
when do you want it?" he asked.
Now" said |.
But" he said. this is really un-
usual. We don't usually sell maps
here on the spur of the moment.
Your proper procedure is to write to
us and say the nature of the map re-
quired, and then in cue course we re-
ply stating the price of the map and
informing you that on receipt OF your
remittance the map will lbe sent to
you at our early convenience
We'll, of course" said he, IF you
really insist, you had better 90 and

He knows all about these things"

Accordingly | climbed three more
floors-lift not working-wandere
through several enormous, but mainly
vacants drawing offices. and. after
waiting half an hour, ! saw the sec
ond chief deputy assistant. told him

The Sawyer, The Banker,
 And the Gold Dust


 Robert E. Capers, assistant United States district attorney at Seattle, formerly attorney for the Copper River & Northwestern railway at Cordova, leaned back in his swivel chair and blew a ring of smoke toward far corner of the ceiling, writes F. P. Chalcraft in Seattle paper.
 "The government" he announced, 'is deeply humiliated, highly morti- | fled, somewhat abashed and not a lit tie downcast at the role 1t is forced to assume In this affair. II find"-he retained a firm stran. gle hold on the English language that the power, the scope, the range and the sphere of action of the fed. eral court are exceeded by the similar attributes of the state judiciary Hence we have the unhappy spectacle of the federal government, through myself and it's representative, apply. ing to the state of Washington to col lect a just debt from a citizen of this republic"
 The governments representative sighed.
 Pretty fought
 ''If we only could persuade John Contratti to come to Seattle" Capers continued, "all this embarrassment might be avoided. But he hasn't wis. ited the states since he went to Alaska, 10 years ago.
 "Contratti, you see, owes $500 de, linquent income taxes. The internal revenue department, unable to collect turned the case over to our office. investigated and found that Contratti had a deposit in the Seattle National Bank that would partly satisfy his debt to the government.
 But because he is in Alaska and therefore without this federal judicial district, we have no jurisdiction over COntratti or his money.
 "The state, however in a claim for damages or debt may garnishee or attach any property of the defendant that is within the state, no matter where the defendant may be. So in order to collect from Contratti we must file our claim in the state court. Must even furnish bond in twice the sum for which suit is brought, the same as any individual"
 
 Thus it came about that there was filed in the superior court the case of the United States vs. John Con- tratti.
 You know" Capers remarked to the clerk as he took a receipt for the bond, eff this fellow Contratti would only take a notion to visit Seattle he would come under the jurisdiction of
The Cordova daily times., 1921-04-16

the federal court, and we would be saved all this bother.
 Now, I'll step over to the bank and serve this writ of garnishment only wish he had enough there to satisfy our claim"
 ''Hello!" the government emissary greeted Joseph H. Newberger vice president of the Seattle National Bank" l have here writ of garnish ment against the account of one of your depositors. Name is John Con tratti"
 "Contratti?" said Newberger. "Oh yes, he's been in Alaska for the last 10 years"
 "Yes, I know" interrupted Capers that's what is causing us a heap oi trouble. Furthermore, he hasn't enough money in your bank to satisfy the claim in full"
 tAs I was about to remark" New berger said, "Contrati hasn't been ir Seattle for 10 years until this morn ing. He was in the bank not 20 min utes ago" Then he with"
 "On the contrary" said Newberger "he made a substantial deposit of golt dust"

CLAIMS IF ALL VETERANS WILL
 BE CONSIDERED
Clean-Up Campaign of War Claims Being Conduct
 ed In Arizona

A cleanup campaign, to adjust all pending claims for compensation of disabled veterans. and to assist them in filing new claims. is being con- ducted throughout the state by Frank w. Bruhn, field representative of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. with headquarters at Phoenix, with the aid of the American Legion and other welfare organizations
 Two and one half years ago. the arrnistice calling to an end the great world war. was signed. Since that date. over 60G,000 ex-service persons have filed their claim for compensa- gravated by service. In a report just received from the director of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance at Washington D. C., figures show what a tremendous task has been before the Bureau to cope with the ever in creasing work, and as yet the peak has not been reached.
 To June 3Oth. 1920, close to 500,000 claims were filed. During the month Of June, 1920, 19,00O claims were act ed upon. 15,000 being allowed, and 5000 disallowed The monthly pay ments for compensation alone amounted to nine million dollars per month during the fiscal year Over 5000 claims were granted for total permanent disability the average | payment being S1O2.O0 per month.
 Yet there are many, who incurred ! disabilities or whose disabilities were aggravated. who have not filed their i claim for compensation, and to which
 they are justly entitled. Many are
 under the impression that because they have not kept up their war term ] insurance, which they carried during | the service, they would not be enti. i tied to compensation. That is not so. for insurance is something you
 pay for, but compensation is some
 thing the government pays to the dis abled men.
 The director of the bureau desires 1 that all ex-service men who have in i cured disability or whose disabil- ! ity was aggravated file their claim at 1 the earliest There are others who have filed their claims. but who are
 not as yet drawing their compensa- 1 tion for some reason or other.
 i To quickly adjust all pending
 claims. write to the local representa- tive of the Bureau of War Risk In
 surance at 403 Heard Building. Phoe-
 nix. Arizona, and forms and other in
 formation will be gladly furnished.

EXPENSES. CUT BY COUNCIL
Auditor And Sanitary In spector Are Let Go; Pc
 lice Force Reduced

A program of retrenchment in city administration 'has been put under way and has been completed for the present following several special meetings of the city council A gen. eral cut has been made of 50 cents a day in the wages of all common labor employed by the city but this leaves the daily rate for labor at S4 day which is comparatively high.
 On May 1 one member of the city police force will be laid off, which will reduce the payroll for the DO lice department about 10 per cent. II is possible that a further reduction of the police force will be made. The services of F. c. Churchill. city audit or, and Bert Gmehle, sanitary inspec tor, have been dispensed with, the city council figuring that the city accounts can be audited at a less ex pense than Churchill's salary amount ed to, and that the city garbage con tractor can act as sanitary inspector
 It is probable that some further re auctions will be made before July l which is the beginning of the fisca year. in order to reduce to the lowest possible estimate the budget which will be made up 'n June. No reduc tions in salaries are contemplated al presest.

PLAY READING |S
 PLEASING EVENT
Twelve Pound Look Pre- , sented By Civic Play
 CTS Last Night

"The Twelve Pound Look short play, presented last night at the Y w. c. A., by the Civic Players as a play reading, was handled with such success as to provide an hour of en- tertainment fully as enjoyable as if the play had been presented on a stage with full scenic effects.
 The Civic Players have adopted the play-reading method of presenting a number of plays on account of the simplicity, and lack of expense and time with which they can be so pro- duced, losing but very little of the entertaining feature As presented last night, the spectator soon forgot that the actors were reading their parts and became as fully engrossed in the action as if the play had been handled in the ordinary manner.
 The part of Lady Sims" was play ed by Mrs. E. J. Flanagan; Sir liar -ry' by Robert Gill; Kate" by Miss Grace Parsons, and ''Tombs'' by MT. Whipple. The parts were handled with skill and with composure that would do credit to professionals. The play was witnessed by as many as could be seated in the blue room of the r. w. C. A.
