test examinations practically every
kind of worker that exists--including
many thousands of technical. scien-
| tific and professional workers.
| The Civil Service Commission is
represented in 1000 cities and vii
lagos of the United States by local
boards of examiners having a total
membership of more than 10000.
The fundamental principle of the
civil service law Is to maintain in
the parts of the service covered by
its provisions a merit system where
by selections for appointment shall be
made upon the basis of demonstrated
relative fitness, without regard to po-
litical, religious or other similar con-
siderations.
II costs the taxpayers some $780,
600, 900 a year to pay the Federal
Civil Service employees alone-but,
stop just moment to note what they
are doing for you.
They are constantly striving to in
crease and improve the output of
your farms. They are bringing new
seeds and plants to, America from all
parts of the world to give us the best
possible food supply. They keep a
watchful eye on the food you eat and
safeguard your health in hundreds of
ways. They collect your letters and
deliver them anywhere. They make
the coins and print the paper money
used in the transaction of daily
business. They keep a record of you
and your neighbor by card index sys-
tenn. They dig canals and make ice
cream and cheese in food expert
ments They build battleships and
study the habits Of bugs. They bur
row into the ground and fly into the
air in search of scientific knowledge
for your benefit. They patrol and
protect forests. reclaim public lands
and supervise national banks. They
do 10000 things that affect the life
of every citizen-and that are ac-
cepted as matter OF course.
During the more than twoscore
years that the merit system of COM
petitive examinations has been en-
ployed the efficiency of the Federal
service has improved more than 800
per cent, both in the matter of more
work done, and done with fewer errors
thus saving the taxpayers many
millions of dollars annually.
Those who are charged with the
administration of the Federal employ
ment system are proceeding upon the
theory that the Government should be
the model employer. They believe
that--in its employment policy the
Government should not be content
with striving to equal the best
methods of private business, but that
the Government should serve as an
example to private employers.
That is the goal that the Federal
Civil Service Commission strives to
attain through it's policy of high

PIPE LOSING HOLD.
Cigarettes Gain Ground at Quai

PARIS, April 25.-The pipe again

Adherents of the pipe, however, are

tenths of an ounce of tobacco and a

INSANITY TOLL LOWERED
D. It's Vanish in Scotland as
Whisky Prices Soar.

LONDON, April 25.-Craziness from
whisky drinking is not as frequent in
Scotland as it used to be, DR.. John d.
Cromrie, head of the Edinburgh. Scot
land, Mental Hospital, has reported.
The percentage of alcoholic insane
has decreased from 60 per cent in
1853 to so per cent in 1913, and to
only 26 per cent today, his figures
show.
Most insanity from the use of a1co-
hol is now durable, DIR. Cromrie said
He also stated that delirium tremens,
which was as common as toothache a
century ago, is now almost unknown
in Scotland. This is due, he said, to
the fact that less whisky is being con-
sumed in Scotland-because of high
prices. He also suggested that Scotch
no longer has it's former potency.
