NUMBERING Of j. s.
WORKERS PLANNED
Need Of Preventing Duplica-
ton of Names Said to Make
System imperative.

Government employees are to be
numbered.
Determined to avoid mistakes ami
Implications caused by sirnilarities ia
names. two government agencies
the Civil Service Commission and thu
bureau of pensions-are proceeding
with plans for numbering federal
employees.
AS yet the plans are only tentative
and have been discussed in none but
an informal way. The necessity Of
numbering federal employees who are
entitled to the benefits of the retire
ment act and annuities is declared to
be imperative.
May Be Adopted Soon.
The Civil Service Commission. which
is required under the retirement act
to certify to the pension bureau the
annuities paid to retired employees,
may adopt a scheme of identification
within few months, which will ap-
ply to all departments.
Under one Of the two schemes pro-
posed. John Smith. a government en-

number 1850. The first number OF
this combination would be the key to
the department in which he works.
while the other numbers would iden-
tify him.
This Identification number would
remain with him all through his con-
nection with. the government. a.
though the key number might be
changed IL he was transferred from

The Civil Service Commission. hy
adopting the number system for idof-
tifcation. can Immediately find out
how many employees of the govern
ment are entitled to the benefits o.
the retirement act--a fact 1t does not
now know. The commission estimates
about so per cent of the government
employees are entitled to such bene-
hts--in other words, 60 per cent OF
the federal force is on the classified
roll. and those who constitute this
percentage pay 2k per cent of their
annual salary into the retirement
fund
But such a figure is only an est
mate, and the numbering system
would bring to the commission and
the retirement division a definite idea
OF the actual number of employees en-
titled to retirement and annuity bene-
fits.

DETROIT, Mich. February s.-The
Senate committee Investigating the
Teapot Dome oil leases might do
well to look into the possibility Of a
connection between oil interests and
our attitude toward the Mexican
difflculty." Henry Ford said today in
statement.
Mr.. Ford's statement. issued in an.

dreds of other Michigan citizens in
urging a fair deal for Edwin DENLY,
Secretary of the Navy and Detroiter,
said:
Il have been asked to join other
citizens in Michigan in securing a
fair deal for Edwin DENLY. Secretary
Of the Navy. 1t is alleged here that
because he has less political influence
than other members of the govern
ment a pretext may be sought to
make him scapegoat. My reply has
been that ] am sure that we can
repose full confidence in President
Coolidge's sense Of justice. which will
not permit him to condemn any man
without just cause nor tnjure any
mans reputation without good rea-
son. The Senate also. without doubt
will accord every man full hearing

Investigation now In progress. Let
the Investigation proceed without
personal or partisan fear or favor
until all the facts are disclosed. 1t
is not enough to know who are the
immediate persons concerned. Let
probe go deeper until the interna-
tional banking houses who conceived
and financed the deal are exposed.
for in the last analysis they are the
sources of the corruption IN which
other men are caught. II the in
vestigation is pushed beyond surface
facts more than our rights in the
naval oil reserves will be recovered:
we may also gain a knowledge OF
what inspires weakness in public
office.
"The dangerous element in this
matter is not alone the greed and
weakness Of individuals, but their
readiness to weaken the country's
defenses by giving up the Nays
fuel to private exploitation. The
committee might also do well to look
into the possibility of a connection
between oil interests and our attitude

Sweet Glover for Pasture.

There has been more or less dis
cussion among agricultural men
about the use of sweet clover as
a never-failing pasture crop and
a great many objections have
been made to the use of this le-
gume because of certain effects
it has been supposed to have re-
suited in to the stock that has
been given range upon it.
These objections have chiefly
been that COWS do not like it and
will not eat it if it is possible to
get any other pasturage; that it is
one of the chief causes of bloat
and produces tainted milk.
Through exhaustive re Sc ar C h
work conducted in Illinois by Will
bur J. Frazier of the Illinois Agri-
cultural College, some interesting
conclusions have been arrived at.
Mr.. Frazier found in the opinion
of 81 dairymen that if cows are
turned onto sweet clover when it
is young, as they should be, there
is no difficulty in getting them to
eat it after the first two or three
days.
These men also claim that there
is practically no trouble from
bloat if the cows have full stom-
achs when they are turned into
the pasture, and once kept there
night and day and given access
occasionally to little roughage
and salt and water. These same
precautions prevent tainted milk
it was found.
To get reliable and accurate in
formation regarding the advan-
tages of any new thing we must
get it directly from the men who
have made a study of it, who have
used it in the past and are using
it now.
Some farmers seem to think
that cows will not eat sweet Glow
er. This is true if the clover has
become tough and woody and they
have an abundance of other feed,
and you can hardly blame them.
Not one Of the reports from which
this information is drawn indicat-
ed any trouble in getting the
animals to eat it after the first
few days.
Cows like a variety of food.
This is seen in their tendency to
nlbble around the fence rows for
the tender grass shoots before
they will attack the clover itself.
According to the experiments
conducted in Illinois sweet clover
must be palatable food, for
large number of cows produced 40
pounds of milk and some produc-
ed from IS to 70 pounds a day on
1t, for considerable time without
grain or any other feed. A cow
has to eat a tremendous amount
of food to produce that amount of
milk, as any dairyman will agree,
and they would not do this if the
food was not palatable.

STATE LOSES BRIDGES
Must Repair and Rebuild 300
on Account of Last Weeks
= Storm.

State highway engineers have
begun the task of getting the
highway and bridge system of the
state back to normal conditions as
a result of the destruction of
probably 300 bridges and several
miles of roads by storms during
the week.
Report of damage to the high
way system are still incomplete,
but engineers from several sect
ions have reported that the dam
age will run into hundreds f
thousands of dollars, it is stated.
In the Milwaukee district alone it
is estimated that between 100 and
200 bridges and culverts were des-
troy or damaged.
The work of replacing the brid-
ges and roads will fall largely up
on the counties, cities and towns,
it is said. The first step to be
taken is a survey of the bridges
and request to the highway de
partment for specifications The
surveys will be made by state en-
gineers. Special sessions of coun-
ty boards will be necessary in a
number of counties to meet the
emergency, it is expected. N 0
special session of the state high
way commission is anticipated.
