Getting Too Fat?
Try This Reduce

People who don't grow too fat are
the fortunate exception. But if you
find the fat accommodating or already
cumbersome, you will be wise to fol-
low this suggestion, which is en-
dorsed by thousands of people who
know. Ask your druggist for Mar
mola Prescription Tablets and fol-
low directions. One dollar is the
price the world over. Get them from
your own druggist or send price
direct to Marmola Co, 4Gl2 Wood
ward Ave-, Detroit, Mich. BY doing
this you will be safe from harmful
drugs and be able to reduce steadily
and easily, without starvation diet or
tiresome exercise.

Judge Refuses to Grant Injunction

An eleventh hour attempt To stop
the sending Of soldier bonus policies.
valued at s750,000, 900, to the veterans
of the World War, was frustrated to-
day when Chief Justice Mccoy de-
clined to grant an injunction asked
by Benjamin Catchings, sNew York

and are ready for mailing January l.
The chief justice held that the de
cision of the United States Supreme
Court in the rockingham case in
volving the maternity bill stands as
an insurmountable barrier to the
granting of the request of Catchings
and his co-plaintiffs.
Catchings contended that the petit

were incorrect interpretations of the
publicity provisions of the law in
cluded:
/. That each employe shall he
notified of his own rating and his
relative standing in his grade or
class, but not permitted to inspect
the ratings of other employees in the
same bureau or office.
z That each employe shall be
notified of his own rating and his
relative rank within the grade or
class and shall upon his request be
permitted to inspect the ratings of
all other employees with whom he is
in competition-that is, all other en-
ployes in the bureau or office who are
in his classification grade.
3. That the names of the employe es
be deleted and Identifying numbers
substituted in the list made available
for inspection. so that each employe,
although able by number to identify
his own rating in the list and to COM
pare with the percentage ratings
given to all others of his competing
group, would be unable to identify
the percentage ratings of other en-
ployes.
Letter to Employees.
The Classification Board proposed to
the departments form of a letter
which they should use to notify each
employe of his efficiency rating. This
letter would show the employees serv-
ice, grade. class, the percentage Of his
efficiency rating, but would not show
the employe his relative rank in his
classification grade.
However. another paragraph in the
proposed letter would notify the en-
ploye that he might see the current rat
ings. This paragraph reads: THE cur
rent ratings for each bureau or office

department cannot be refused, as the
employees are expressly given the
same right of inspection as the rep
resentatiyes of the (classification)
board. This right is not discretional
In any sense and nothing in the his
tory or phraseology Of the classifi-
cation act of 1928 would indicate any
such intent. The dismissal Of an en-
ploye of the Government and his or
her promotion or demotion are to depend
upon his or her efficiency rating. Con-
gress doubtless believed that inspection
Of said ratings by all employees would
discourage favoritism, permit cor
rections OF any errors which might
exist, inspire confidence in the ac-
curacy and fairness of the ratings
and make possible correction by the
employees themselves Of existing
causes of ineficiency."
The Attorney General went into the
history of classification, quoting from
the report Of the congre ssional join,
commission on reclassification of sal
aries concerning the publicity of rat
ings. This commission said, according G
to the Attorney General, that en-
ployes ARE inclined to question the
infallibility and impartiality of their
superiors. Even where efficiency rat
ings are established by personnel
committees, made up both of admins
trative officers and. employees, this is
apt to be true. Furthermore, tho fact
that efficiency ratings are usually
surrounded by secercy and are seldom
open to inspection even by the en-
ploye concerned Inevitably arouses
suspicion and distrust, no matter how
conscientiously the work may be
done"
