ment to Civil Service Re-

tirement act so as to take care Of en-
ployes of the government fifty years of

/ nuity. In this event, however, the de-
ductions which have been made from
| the employees salary and which have
gone into the civil service retirement
fund must be allowed to remain in that
fund.
A further provision of the bill would
allow these employees to apply for inn
mediate annuities. in place of the de-
ferred annuity at the age of retirement.

ceive reducd annuity

For years they struggled TO raise

cestors. The carlton of bells, a church
institution in their native land, was
not manufactured in America, SO they
sent abroad.
The carlton, with its twenty-five
bells with keyboard attached, arrived d
recently. but the congregations JOY
was wiped out by the news that the
government demanded payment of
duty amounting to $4,000.
Somebody remembered that the IA

ment Applying to Railroad Loco

thrown off by railroad locomotives pass
ing through Washington were taken by

suggested to Congress an amendment to

troll Of any locomotive, steam vessel or

steam boiler. locomotive, locomotive
roundhouse, steam vessel or furnace
of any description within the Dis
trict of Columbia. shall be deemed and
is hereby declared a public nuisance.

shall be construed as to apply to
chimneys of buildings used exclusive
ly as private residences, or to steam
vessels while being navigated."
