The exigencies of the war required
great expansion OF the clerical
forces at Washington and elsewhere
and this was accomplished by labor
turnover several times above normal.
The percentage of declarations Of ap-
pointments among eligibles on the civ
il service register increased In many
instances from 80 to morerthan 80 per
cent-that is, more than half the men
and women who successfully passed
civil service examinations and were
offered jobs under the government re-
fused to take them. II is estimated
that more than $4,000 Of those wEo
met the test were appointed during
that time.
The civil service commission says
fatty:
''Those familiar with the federal
service at Washington know that the
service is now hampered by the re-
tentlOn of incompetents whose re-
moval is rendered difficult by influences
which are incompatible with the eff
cheney of the service. Preferences
and exemptions increasingly clog the
departments with persons who, no
matter how inefficient, are difficult to
remove, and whose retention tends TO
destroy the di$eipliEe. of the service"
Among these inefficIents, of course.
are the superannuated and the phys
ic,lly incapacitated. The bureau Of
efficiency estimated, before the pass
age of the approximation retirement
law. the number of employees in the
civil service of the United States sew
enty years Of age and over as follows:
Number
Railway postal lerks........-......... 1871
Rural letter carriers. 454
City letter carriers. -........-.........-z 20
Post Office clerks. = So
Mechanics ........................... 5Zc
General employees. Dist. Columbia. !. 4s4
General employees elsewhere. ...-.....1 ,s13
Total ..-....---.-......-..--.-- $50
The commissioner Of pensions sup
plies the following compact statement
of the age of the employees in the pen
sion bureau:
Number in the. classified civil serv-.
ice, S74 age of the Oldest employee,
eighty-eight; number over eighty years
of age, &c; number between sixty-five
and eighty, 266; based on age of sixty
five, number eligible for retirement,
292: percentage of employees eligible
for retirement, 1874; average age of all
employees, July 1, 1919, fifty-eight.
These old men and women bear the
burden of the administration of the
complex, intricate and involved pro-
cedure under the pension laws having
to do with the disbursement of 1922
$780, 92 in 1920 TO 100000 and some
odd benefciaries.

 Heretofore when "Old Glory" be- came so smoke stained or otherwise soiled as to become unrecognizable, it was customary to dispose of it by burning with appropriate ceremonies.
 The marine corps has decided to wash the flag and use it over again.
 Such proceude for some unknown reason had never before been suggest ed The corps uses 327 flags constant ly worth $1O to s15 apiece, so the ex- pense of the old method can be appre- ciated One result is that some s450O has been saved already.

"The Beggars OPERA" which con-
vulsed London in 1928 with the laugh
ter that made erich gay and Gay

produced in Minneapolis and to con-
vulse again with laughter those who

It was the inspiration Of all the
comic operas and all the musical
comedies" that have been written from
that day to this, none of which has
ever equaled in wit, humor, song, COM
edy or satire or the human nature
touches which permeate it from the
prologue to it's "happy ending"
The Beggars Opera, written by
John Gay in 1928, is a classic of the
English stage. 1t made John Gay i'm
mortal. 1t furnished the theme for
Hogarth's immortal canvas. It was
the foster child of the genius Pope
and Swift and Arbuthnot.
For three years this old curio has
held the boards at the Lyric theater
in Hammersmith, London, now leav-
ing the old stage for a transcontinen-
tai trip of America and on Monday
evening, February 6, Minneapolis will
be given the opportunity to witness
most unique offering when, for four
nights and one matinee, at the New
Lyric theater, "The Beggars Opera"
will be given by the same company
Of artists who created the revived diff
ferent roles in the last revival Of the
classic in London.
