Mother Mother
How many times in days gone by

looked up into her face, and said
Mother"
This is a word that has been uttered
in every tongue, in every mood. IN
every home, in every church. IN every
theater. in every land, in every sphere,
in every breath.
Men would give their fortunes il
they could say that word TO their
mother today. men would give their
lives TO bring back the days when
mother used to turn them over their
knees and make them cry with the
spanking they had coming.
Every Elk in Elkdom Is expected TO
do something in memory OF his mother
on Mothers Day.
Suppose you send bouquet OF flow
ers to some little crippled kid in the
name Of your mother.
Suppose you give some crippled
soldier a job in the name of your
mother.
Suppose you do something Of honor
on that day-just because it's

UP NEXT
WEEK
Chairman Declares All lrregu-
Iarities Under Tentative Plan
Will Be Remedied.

The writing of class specifica-
tions for the Federal Employees in
the District will be begun by the
Personnel Classification Board
next week, chairman Bailey said
today. T
More than forty experts viii be
engaged in the work, which is ex-
pected to continue for approx
imately three months. At the end
Of that time, the Federal workers
will be able to know just what
Redistribution will mean to them.
VIII Correct Inequalities.
Chairman Bailey emphasized to-
day that the class specifications
in effect would be a revision OF
the present ALLEGATIONS and would
do away with much of the mis-
understanding and dissatisfac tion
that is being expressed by employees
over them. He treasured the en-
tire force OF Federal employees to-
day that the board, in writing class
specifications, would correct al pay
inequalities that they know exist.
I'VE are going to write class
specifications" said Mr.. Bailey, to-
day. 1.-THE law requires Us to do
this, and there never has heen any
doubt about it. Pressure of time
forced us to make an ALLEGATION
for budget purposes, which is ten
tative. -
Nobody can form any conclusion
about the ultimate effect of classf-
fication on the strength of this ten
tative ALLEGATION"
That the pay increases that will
result from the tentative alloca-
tons will not form any criterion
will receive when classification is
in later stage of evolution also
was asserted today.
It was pointed out that under the
Sterling law, promotions
with consequent increase of pay
are not made discretionary, but
mandatory whenever the given emf
ploye reaches certain efficiency
rating.
These ratings are fixed by the
administrative officers in a depart
ment, but they must be made in
Sd|CO1 udIC0 with a pan VI SIIIClSnCy
rating laid down by the personel
board, and Furthermore are subject
to review and revision by the
board.
In this way favoritism in the mat.
ter of efficiency rating will be
guarded against. Any employee who
conceivably may have been done an
injustice by supervising official can
have his case reviewed nv the mar
sonnet board.
These facts are stated to the Fed
eral employees of Washington now to
offset many reports and rumors cul-
rent that tend to undermine their
faith in the Redistribution work. A
great deal of misunderstanding ex-
lists because of the present tentative
ALLEGATIONS, it is said.
The personnel classification board
Is determined to clear the air of all
of these MISUNDERSTANDING because
it is going to carry through it's pre-
viously announced program.

Potato "Hot Dogs
Are Not Sausages,
Fowler Rules

When is a sausage not a
sausage?
When it contains cereals, po-
tatoes and even milk, accord
ing to DIR. William C. Fowler,
District Health Officer, who to-
day issued a warning to GER
tain local food retailers that,
when such modified "wienies"
are put up for sale they must
be appropriately labeled.
Investigating reports that
some storekeepers. have been
buying near-sauges from whole
salers and failing through ig-
norance or design to inform
purchasers of their status.
DIR. Fowler conducted a
sausage clinic in his offices Sat
urday. A table was heaped
high with more-or-less succulent
dogs" and he questioned a
number of their purveyors. He
has no quarrel with their con-
tent except that in some cases
they are being sold as genuine
sausage. Failure to heed his
warning will result in prosecu-
ton under the pure food and
drug act.
