Not long ago a Russian OF the name

, to offer any apologies for his boorish
awkwardness and lack of considera-
ton. the Italian had recourse to the
only alternative. He gave him. first
cheek and when Vorovsky raised his
cane the Italian proceeded to knock

AS the police declined to interfere
and Vorovsky was ignominiously
elected from the restaurant, he
hastened to lodge a complaint with
Premier Mussolini and with the de-
partment of foreign affairs, demand

decided to ignore the complaint, and
thereupon the Russian appealed to
the italian courts, charging his as
sailant with assault. and the restau-
rant with having subjected him to
maltreatment and humiliation. The
MAGISTRATE declined to accord any
sort Of reparation to the petitioner,
and threw his case out of court. He
then carried it to the highest tribunal
of appeal in the kingdom. which took
the ground that as chief of trade
delegation of the soviet government,
Vorovsky had no diplomatic status
whatever. and that since Italy had
absolutely refused to concede any
kind of official recognition TO the

law, other than that OF an ordinary,

RETIREMENT RULE
RIGID, It IS HELD
Employees Age to Govern
Separation From Service,
Attorney General Rules.

When they reach the retirement
age. regardless of whether they have
served the requisite fifteen years to
entitle them to annuity. employees Of
the civil service must be separated
from the service. according to an
opinion just handed down by the At
torney General.
The ruling was given In response
to a request from the Civil Service
Commission that employees of less
than fifteen years service who attain
the retirement age be retained to en-
able them to quality for an annuity.
Age Limit In Cited.
Retirement age is seventy years,
with the exception OF sixty-two years
for railway postal clerks and sixty
five for mechanics and post office
clerks and carriers.
In his opinion, the Attorney General
holds that the retirement act of May
%, 1920, has a twofold purpose: first.
the separation from the classified
service of all those employees who by
reason of age or other infirmities are
no longer able to render satisfactory
service: and, second, to pay an an
nuity to those employees retired, under
the provisions Of the act, who have
rendered at least fifteen years of
service.
with these purposes in mind. the

Attorney General interprets the act
as requiring the automatic separa-
tion from the service of all persons
who have reached the retirement age
fixed by the law. Those who have

service. In the view Of the Attorney
General, are automatically separated
