RULING0F
CARL IS
' ADVERSE
Employees Who Desire to Par
ticipate in Ceremonies
Must Deduct Time

There will be no holiday in
celebration of Armistice Day for
the Federal employees tomorrow.
President Coolidge decided not
to issue an executive order PRO-
viding for the holiday after he
had read a decision by Comp
troller General McCarl relating
to the salary features of The
legal issues involved.
Power Is Limited.
In view Of the fact that Congress
alone has the authority to create
national holidays by statute and
that the Executive power to pro-
claim such events is a limited one,
President Coolidge. after a confer
ence with Secretary S1emp and
others, decided to forego action
under the circumstances.
Six years have passed since the
armistice was signed, and if Con-
gress had desired to make Armi-
stice Day a holiday, it has had
0O0AucIlI opportunity 10 40 SO In
: the Presidents opinion. The fact
that it has not done so was the
determining factor in influencing
the President not to issue an Execu-
tive order.
1t is within the jurisdiction Of
the President to declare holidays
for Federal employees, and this
privilege has been repeatedly ex-
ercised in the past. Coolidge, how.
ever, refused to take advantage of
this legal loophole.
Would Lose Days Pay.
The decision of Comptroller Cen
eral McCarl meant, in effect, that
all of the per diem employees in the
Federal departments would have
lost days pay by the proclama-
ton of holiday. PresidSbt Cool
idge was unwilling that they should
be deprived of this money. Fed
eral employees, therefore, who de-
sire to participate in the various
observances of Armistice Day will
have to take the time out Of their
annual leave.

Tenants of Clifton Terrace apart

CHAPTER XIV.
The Voyage.

His resolve being taken, Asad drew
Tsamanni aside and spent some mo-
ments in talk with him, giving him
certain instructions for the conduct
of affairs ashore during his absence.
That done. and the wazeer dismissed,
the Basha himself gave the order to
cast off, an order which there was no
reason to delay, since all was now IN
readiness.
The gangway was drawn ashore.
the boatswain's whistle sounded, and
the steermen 1eaped to their inches
in the stern, grasping the shafts OF
the great steering oars. A second
blast rang out, and down the gang
way deck came Vigitello and two of
his mates, all three armed with long
whips of bullock hide, shouting to the
slaves to make ready. And then, on
the note of third blast of Larocque's
whistle the fifty-four poised oars
dipped to the water, two hundred and
fifty bodies bent as one, and when
they heaved themselves upright again
the great galeasse shot forward and
so set out upon her adventurous voy-
age. From her mainmast the red
flag with the green crescent was un-
furled to the breeze, and from the
crowded mole, and the beach where
long line of spectators had gathered.
there burst a great cry of valedic-
ton.
That breeze blowing stiffly from the
desert was Lionel's friend that day.
without it his career at the oar might
have been short indeed. He was
chained, like the rest, stark naked,
save for a loincloth, in the place near
est the gangway on the first starboard
bench abaft the narrow waist-deelz,

short distance between the mole and
