Petition H 7 s
EFFICIENCY
BUREAU
Government Employees Ask
Transfer of Duties to
Civil Service.

Government employees in all de-
partments here are being asked to-
day to sign a petition urging the
transfer of the duties of the Blu
reau of Efficiency to the Civil Serv-
ice Commission. Originally the bu-
reau came under it's supervision, but
was divorced from it In 1915 by
an act of Congress.
But two departments of the Gov.
eminent have not been invaded by
the signature seekers. These are
the Bureau of Efficiency and the
Civil Service Commission. They
were eliminated because they are
parties to the action involved. The
petition is being circulated by the
departmental classification protest
committee, When the work Of &C.
curing the signatures is completed
the petition will be presented Jointly
to the White House and Congress.
Under the proposal contained in
the petition it is urged that the
Bureau of Efficiency be reincor.
porated in the Civil Service Com
mission, which in the future would
have supervision over all matters
pertaining to efficiency ratings,
classification and promotions.
1t is understood the petition will
carry. the names of vast majority
OF Government workers in the Dis
trict.
A bill has been introduced in the
House by Congressman F. r. Lehl-
bach, chairman of the Civil Service
Committee, abolishing the Bureau
of Efficiency, transferring its activi-
a. g-.gR
sion. In the Senate bill is pend
ing, introduced by Senator Medill

the bureau without allocating it's
functions to the Civil Service Com
mission. Herbert d. Brown Is chief
of the Bureau of Efficiency. Both

IT Is NOW GRAND MESA FOREST

A telegram received, from the chief
forester of the United States on March
10 announced that President Coolidge
on March IL, 1924, signed an execu-
tive order changing the name Of the
Battlement National forest to the
Grand Mesa National forest.
The change was made on the ground
that the name "Battlement is not
appropriate and the name "Grand
Mesa' describes the principal topo'
graphic features of not only portion
of the national forest but the entire
mountain section of that region. Grand
Mesa proper comprises the very import
ant southwest arm of the forest upon
which the principal irrigation water of
the vast farming region surrounding
it is impounded in artificial reservoirs
and discharged during the periods for
agriculture. 1t is also most attrac-
tive recreation and fishing ground for
not only the population of the sur
rounding valleys, but the travelling
public as well.
The forest was first created as the
"Battlement Mesa Forest Reserve" by
presidential proclamation signed by
Benjamin Harrison December "a, 1892.
The name was changed to the "Battle-
ment National Forest' in 1908 by
proclamation signed by President
Roosevelt, at which time a portion Of
the forest was transferred to the Holy
Cross National forest. The present
acreage of the Grand Mesa forest is
$50, 1858 acres. Ray Peck is the forest
supervisor in charge with headquarters
at Grand Junction, Colorado.

Mr.. and Mrs. 8. L. Meadows, after
which he will seek position which
will call for the business training he
has received at the college.
From reports that reach Glenwood it
is learned that Charley has made a
splendid record at the college, receiv.
ing several medals for his good work
and close application, graduating with
high honors and receiving a splendid
endorsement from the faculty. Such
careful application is most commenda-

UP IN A BALLOON

Balloon auto tires are coming fast.
aad thev are coming to stay, according
tc the prediction of some of those who
hive fept verv close TO the auto game.
They are an innovation that will doubt
less grow more popular the mo.n they
are used.
The first local car to be equipped
with the new style of wind containers
is the Buick sedan belonging to Hugh
Moore, superintendent of The Post
printing plant. J. F. Mccoy, the local
Buick agent, furnished the new wheels
and tires for the Moore car, and drove
up in front of our sanctum this morn
ing and asked the editor to take ride
to try out the new castings.
The new tires, containing 25 pounds
of atmosphere, carry the rider over
rough roads and all kinds Of impedi-
ments with a minimum Of shock and
rebound, no doubt adding to the life
of the car, and making it yer ypleas-
ant for the rider, from more than ono

Mrs. Jennie Holmes Abrams passed
away last Wednesday, March S, at her
home at Eagle, at the age of seventy
eight years nine months and one day,
death being caused from heart trouble
and dropsy.
Mrs. Abrams was truly one Of the
pioneers of Eagle county, having set
tied with her husband near the present
town Of Eagle in 1882. They settled
on and developed a ranch on the little
stream, Abrams creek, named in their
honor, and Mrs. Abrams has ever since
made her home in that section.
Mrs. Abrams husband passed away
many years ago, and her sons, Bert and
William j., died few years ago, and
her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Loyal
Abrams, died about two years ago.
Mrs. Abrams was cheerful and op-
timistic, and bore her years well, but

health has failed rapidly, and her de-
mise was not unexpected.
Funeral services were held at Eagle
Friday and at Farnum's mortuary in
this cit ysunday afternoon, Rev. Philip
D. Norvell conducting the same. In
terment was in Rosebud cemetery.

ESSENTIAL TO MAKE. CHOICE
Excellent Advice Which Young Mother
VIII Do WeII to Give Deep
ID. Consideration.

Take the case of any young mother
who has two or more children. no
nurse and no maid. Life feels like a
fight. There are certain things in that
mothers life that have to be sighted.
It mustn't be her children. 1t mustn't
be her husband. And 1t mustn't be her
charm.
What then?
Her house; her social duties. Put
away all the knickknacks. You can have
more elaborate beauty when your chill
dren are older. Have simplicity now
Have your house bare as possible and
get your beauty In harmonious colors
Have one room where the children's
toys can be dumped, and then have
enough control to think about the dis
order of that room. Back of all the
clutteredness in this world there is a
law of order. Back Of the messiness
Of that room is bigger law Of order
than the mere orderliness Of room
1t is the crderliness Of a mind that
has decided to keep Its charm, its
beauty, its strength, so that there will
be personality as the mother Of that
family instead of just a driven, pa
tient, sweet woman. Take the dining
room, If you have to, and have jolly
kitchen and eat there or in the living
room. II you've got a spare bedroom,
take that. Don't be an immaculate
housekeeper-be an irresistible human.

Divided Skirt is old Idea.

No one thinks twice today of seeing
woman in breeches or a divided skirt.
This fashion is much older than that
Of the crincline, for so long ago as the
Thirteenth century women rode astride
in divided garments. In 1868, when
France was in the throes Of terrible
civil war, women again took to divided
skirts for greater ease and comfort in
riding
The third great revival of the fash
ion was in 1850, when an American
lady, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, adopted
the much-discussed "bloomer" cos
tune.
Another feminine fashion much old
er than most suppose is the form Of
hat called the "toque." This was first
worn by ladies of the court Of Henry
III.

ATTENTION, TAxPAA ERs

No doubt you have heard that it be-
came necessary to stop the further
collection of taxes. 1t was found that
number Of errors had been made in
the tax list for current taxes andt hat
1t would be impracticable make fur
ther collections based on the present
tax List.
The climax was reached last Satur-
day, when upon advising with Treasur-
er Chas. II. King, it was decided to stop
tax collections wrereupon Mr.. King
notified the State Tax Commission, the
Board Of County Commissioners being
likewise informed Of the decision.
Monday ,followin, County Attor-
ney J. W. Dollison and myself were
advised by the Tax Commission that I
should review the work and make q
new tax list and that all errors might
be corrected under my supervision.
This order from the Commission was
most gratifying since it proves that all
have not lost confidence in me, this
organization realizing that while I am
officially responsible, the errors,
though made in my office, were not
of my making.
I wish to say that the trouble cannot
po Piaceu IN any sense against Ireas-
urer Chas H. King, who is working in
full and complete harmony with me to
rectify these errors.
Further, do not wish to be under
stood as attempting to make light of
the condition in which I find myself
for it is serious matter, and for this
reason the work in hand will receive
the fullest attention that everything
may be rectified at the earliest posi-
BILE moment in order that tax collections
may be resumed by the Treasurer, who
authorizes me to say that new notices
will be mailed to each and every tax
payer - soon a. the new work has been
completed.
Respectfully yours,
ALEX 8. SIMPSON,
3-6 County Assessor.
