The law establishing the United
States Civil Service. Commission was
enacted January 16, 1883.
In 1883, approximately 10000 per
sons were employed in the executive
civil service of the United States
The number Of such employees on
December 81, 1923, was 54S,5O6. The
greatest number employed at one
time was 917,760, on November II,
1918, the date of the armistice.
In 1883, 1924 positions were
classified under the civil service law,
and, therefore, subject to competitive
exasfination. The number of such
positions on December 81, 1928, was
approximately 100000.
In the forty-one years Of its life,
the Commission has given competi.
tive examinations to 4,7l3,305 appli.
cants, 1,4l2,OO7 of whom have been
appointed.

forth of the st. Louis Browns is GER
tain to be a source of constant trou-
bic to American League umpires and
President Johnson during the COM
ing season.
Rival American League managers,
Convinced that Danfortn is doctor
ing the ball, intend to keep up a
crusade against his methods. Fail
ing to accomplish their object, it is
said they intend to order their
pitching stafs to go the limit in
manipulating the ball.
Late in the season Of 1922 Dan
forth was put out Of game by
Umpire Owens because that official
believed he was pitching illegally.
A suspension of 10 days went with
the election from the game.
The st. Louis club, feeling that
Danforth could be Of no use to them
if the American League umpires
were Il unit in the belief that he was
doatoringg the ball, sent him to Tulsa
Okla, of the Western League. He
succeeded in helping win pennant
for that city.
Hoping that he had been cured of
his fault and might pass muster st.
Louis brought him back for another
trial in the American League. Once
again an umpire ruled that he was
pitching illegally. George Moriarty
in game at Philadelphia last sum
mer, after repeatedly warning Dan
forth, finally removed him from the
game. He sent number of base
balls to President Johnson as evil
Gence that Danforth doctorcd the
ball.
During the remainder of the sea-
sor any time Danforth pitched the
game became near burlesque be-
cause the opposing, team kicked on
almost every ball pitched.
Every American League manager,
ether than George Sisler Of the
Browns, is positive Danforth doctors
the ball. Which means much trou-
bic any time he works.

London, Feb. 16.--Charges made in
certain quarters that the govcrn-

ish India arc ultimately responsible
for the abuse Of narcotics in America
because opium and similar drugs arc
produced in, and exported frem, Bri-
tain's eastern dominion, are answer
cd byeJohn Campbell, representative
of the India government at the Gen.
eva opium conference of August
1923, who contributes an article in
the current Asiatic. Review on "The
Opium Question and America"
Mr.. Campbell makes the categori-
cal statement that "India docs not
export opium to the United States,
and only the most trifling quanti-
ties at very Irregular intervals, to
countries on the American contiient;
neither does India export opiuL, to
England or to any other country for
eventual re-export 10 the, American
continent. Moreover, no Indian
opium finds its way to America by
any chanpel, whatsoever except pos
sibly such trifling quantities as may
be smuggled by the crews Of ships
trading between Far Eastern ports
and ports in the United States. In
dia does not now, nor has she at any
time, exported dangerous drugs to
America either directly or Indirect
ly." 49,,
The writer declares that the India
governpent has for years steadily
pursued the policy of selling opium
as far as possible direct to govern
mcnts of other countries, and SO far
from pressing it's opium on any coun-
try, India requires as condition
precedent to export that the import
ing government must satisfy itself
that the quantity asked for is rca-
sonable; that the importing govern
ment must certify that the opium is
required for legitimate purposes and
that it must assume the administra-
tive and moral responsibility of see
ing that the opium imported is not
employed for purposes of abuse. As
a result, India now sells roughly
three -fourths of her opium export
direct to responsible governments
and has refused to allow exports in

African Chief Has
Pleasure Trip

London, Feb. 16.-Saboza, para
mount chief of Swaziland, the Afri-
can potentate who visited England
last year, occupied palatial res
idence in the British capital and paid
his respects to King George at
Buckingham Palace, returned to his
home land only to find his coal black
tribesmen would not approve their
big chiefs bills for travel and en-
tertainment.
A nine months drought occurred in
Swaziland and the awazis thought
Saboza had caused it. In fear and
terror they came through with the
money for the chiefs debts-and then
it rained: Saboza had relented. Now
the chief is planning another Euro
pean trip.
