BEST PAID,
CLAIM
Official Says Classification
Means IS Per Cent Raise
Over 1919 Average.

A salary increase of more than
is per cent over the average paid
in 1919 win accrue to Federal en-
ployes in the District under re-
classification, according to H. N.
Graves, representing the Bureau Of
Efficiency on the personnel classifi-
cation board.
In 1919 prepared estimates
showed the average salary Of Fed
eral employees in Washington was
$1,43O. including the bonus Of $40.
Figures, compiled November Is.
1921, showed that after the Bureau
Of Efficiency had made its report
and suggestions regarding increases
in salaries, the average was $1.597.
It is further declared that when
all clerks are allocated under the
plan Of the classification board the
average salary of Federal workers
here win exceed 1850.
Taking into consideration all sal
aries OF Federal employees, Graves
said the rank and file in the service

do clerks employed by private con-
Germs.

Red Haired Men Best
For All Daring
Exploits

BERKELEY, CAL, Nov, 90.
-Red-haired persons make the
best explorers and conquerors.
contends Herbert E. Bolton,
professor Of American history
at the University of California.
He credits them with great in
itiative and persevering ambi-
ton.
The professor cites in sup
port of his theory Columbus.
Pedro de Alvarado, the most
noted of Cortes' assistants, and
O'Connor, prominent in the ex-
pansion of the American South
west, all were graced with red
hair.
Prof. Bolton recalls that re-
Gently a tribe Of cannibals in
the South Sea Islands killed all
but one Of a group Of ex-
plorers. The one man spared
had red hair, which the primi-
tive mind took for a symbol
of extraordinary power. The.
savages, moved by some tribal
taboo, feared him.
