Mr.. IeVer-I cOnCede it.

Mr.. Lever-I concede it.
Mr.. Mclaughlin of Michigan-Will the
gentleman reserve his point of order?
Mr.. Stafford-I will reserve it.
Mr.. McLaughlin-The committee made
the recommendation to increase the sal
airy $780, took testimony on it and con-
sidered it very carefully. In our judg-
ment the increase in salary ought to be
made for an official who has been in the
department, as the chairman says, for a
long time at the head of this bureau. He
has performed able and faithful services.
The salary is less than that paid to the
heads of ether bureaus. We felt, after
listening to all that was said and with
knowledge of the work he has been doing
and has done, the salary proposed is not
too large.
Mr.. Stafford-How long has he been
there?
Mr.. Lever-He has been there forty-two
years.
Mr. Stafford-What is his age?
Mr. Lever-Over sixty, perhaps nearer
seventy, but he is still vigorous and able
to do good work. He is one of the
greatest entomologsts in the world.
The Chairman-The point of order is
sustained.
Five minutes later the matter of
Doctor Nelson's salary was reached.
The secretary of agriculture recon-
mended an increase of his pay from
$500 to $4,000. This happened:
Mr. stafford-Mister Chairman, I re-
serve the point of order on the para
graph. Will the chairman of the COM
mittee inform the house as to how long
this biologist has been in the service
Of the government and how long he has
been receiving the present salary of $500,
| on which you recommend an increase OF
$500?
Mr.. Lever-Mister Chairman, this gen.
tleman, whose name is Nelson, has been
in the service of the department since
November 1890 He has served as chief
field naturalist from 1907 to 1912, and was
assistant in charge of the biological in
vestigation, from 1918 to 1914 On August
G, 1914, he was appointed assistant chief
of the bureau, and on December l, 1916,
was made chief Of the bureau. He took
the place of Doctor Henshaw.
Mr.. Stafford-And the salary has been
49, 500 since 1916?
Mr. I.ever-Yes.
Mr.. StaffOrd-What is his age?
Mr.. Lever-I should think that Doctor
Nelson is round fifty years of age.
Mr.. Stafford-He is not superannuated.
Mr. Lever-Oh, no; he is very vigor-

where the measure of the value of
their services is set down in any such

This MAN?
1t is Because He Has the Life

leaned back in her chair, with a bored
expression on her face.

Among the new ones there are very
attractive capes and capecoats, which
are made-of double-faced cloth, plain
on one side and plaid on the other,
and they look as if very good steam

making. But lightweight cloths are
woven in these patterns. Nearly all
of these coats are provided with
