Discharged Employees to Get
Preference on Other Jobs
Under New System

Sweeping changes in the manner
in which Federal employees ard
employed are discharged are IN
der consideration by the Civil
Service Commission and the Va
rious personnel branches Of the
Government.
Efforts to work out q method
by which employees dismissed in
one department because Of 4 re-
duction in work, and not because
Of inefficiency, may be given
preferential basis when vacancies
occur in other departments are
being made.
AZ Disadvantage Now.
Under present conditions trans
fers Of this type are frequently
made. but always under ,consldera.
BILE difficulty. Many personnel Of
ficers prefer to fill vacancies from
the civil service eligible list. rather
than to take workers from other
departments. They feel that the lat
ter were the least efficient III their
work in the departments which
let them 90, and therefore they
would not be getting the hest type
OF material
That this prejudice il unjust. is
the growing conviction Of many
officials, particularly since the In
stitution of the new executive or.
der which gives a preferential
status on the seniority auf de-
pendency OF workers. They feel
that discharged employee whose
efficiency rating is good should he
given first claim upon vacancies Dis
they occur in other departments.
Preparing New Formula.
The Bureau of Efficiency is now
working out a formula by which
such transfers can be made as
part OF the regular personnel pro-
cedure in the departments. Its
administration will fall largely to
the departmental officers them
selves unless some new regulations
affecting 1t are promulgated.
The writing of new class specifi
cations by Guy Moffet and a group
of Civil Service Commission ex-
perts is now proceeding rapidly.
1t lis hoped that when they are
completed and accepted by the Per-
sonnet Classification Board many
OF the points of controversy bs-
tween Civil Service Commission and
the Bureau of Efficiency will dis
appear.
Many Appeals Waiting.
More than l,OUO long standing
appeals on the issue Of class al
locations are now before tho board.
and meetings are to be held daily
from this time forward In an ef.
fort to clear them from the dockes.
1t is recognized that these appeals
must be settled before the board
can proceed to other business.

THE DRINKS LITTLE JOKE,
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-01-30
OPPOSED USE OF THE DRUM
England Refused to Have Them in
Military Bands Until End Of
the Eighteenth Century.

Can anyone nowadays imagine
military band without a single drum?
Of course not Yet 1t was not un-
I'll the end of the Eighteenth century
that the drum was admitted into the
regimental bands Of England, though
it had then been in use for some years
on the continent And it is recorded
that George III was much upset be-
cause, in 1888, the duke of York want
ed to introduce the new instrument
into the Guards bands.
Possibly part Of the prejudice
against the drum was due to it's origin
the first soldiers to march to beat Of
drum" being the Janissaries, the rene
gade Christians In the service Of
the Turks. The fashion, however, was
copied by the Austrians and then by
the French and Prussians
Originally the drummers were gor-
geously bedizened negroes, the last of
whom, John Baptist of the Scots
Guards, did not disappear till about
the time of the Crimean war Even
yet traces of the negroes remain in
the leopard skin and the flourishes Of
the bandmaster's staff and the stick
of the man in charge of the big drum.

DEATH

mothers partially for death, that it's
naught to be afraid Of.
One day we shall be dead-you and
|, all of US. What Of it? The best
that ever lived are dead
The greatest and wisest and tender
est men and women. The grandest
poets, the noblest painters, the might
lest musicians. The bravest fighters
for a worthy cause, all aflame for
human liberty. The truest lovers Of
their kind, toiling, suffering for hu-
man happiness.
Dead, brother-dead.
Nothing dreadful, is it, to go where
they have gone?
Nature knows what she is up to-,
and when it is plain, from an over
whelming weight of evidence, that
her ultimate objective is death-that
the earth itself has only been brought
into existence for mortuary purposes,
to be used as burial ground; when
this, and much more to the same end,
is borne in mind, | am satisfied that
being dead is not disagreeable SEN

Court Throws Out
Prison Goods Job

Indianapolis-The superior court OF
Indianapolis refuses to recognize the
validity of the contract made by the
prison trustees of Indiana with New
York garment company for convict
labor to be used in making clothing.
An injunction will be issued to forbid
the trustees from carrying out the
contract.
This legal victory in the fight of
union labor against convict cut throat
competition marks vital stage in
the campaign jointly waged by union
garment manufacturers, the organized
needle trades workers and the trade
union public For years the dangers
of prison-made garments have been
painted to consumers. tuberculosis
and venereal disease germs have
flourished in the products and there
has been no adequate protection OF
the wearers against infection.
Prison labor is usually furnished to
the contractors at loss to the state
and at a cost far below the prevailing
wage of free labor. The effects has
been that the state uses its criminal
population to throw its law-abiding
workers out of jobs and to enrich the
profiteers, usually from other states,
that enter the degrading business of
prison labor exploitation.

There must be something beautiful
in death. Nature loves it, and the old
girl knows her business.
1t really seems that she only makes
things live in order that they may die.
By all the signs and tokens she goes
to the infinite trouble of creation be-
cause she is so passionately fond of
multiplying the dead around her.
It's a sad reflection, in a way,
brother, but mighty consoling one,
too.
Creatures are born one hour to die
the next-at dawn to perish with the
setting sun. Millions and millions
draw but a single breath, and then
expire.
So eager is Nature for death.
There's something fascinating about
it, YOU may be sure.
1 am convinced, from our dear old

Ten Million Chinese
Facing Starvation

Washington-Ten million Chinese
people in nine provinces are facing
STARVATION as consequence of the
floods of last july and because of the
confusion in the public mind of Amer
lea due to the civil war in China
there is no adequate contribution of
American aid to these stricken mil
lions, says S. S. Young, who is in
Washington as a representative of
the China init. Famine Relief COM
missino.
The American Red Cross has given
100000. Chinese residents in the
United States, who contributed heav-
lily to the last famine relief fund, are
now unwilling to attend meetings be-
cause OF the tong war which is being
fought out in the eastern half of the
United States, and which has defied
all peace efforts on the part of the
majority of resident Chinese.
France withholds consent to, the
raising of funds by the Chinese gov
ernment through increased tariff
duties and by supercharge on rail
way tickets. Without consent of all
the chief foreign powers, China can
not save her own life by this taxa
tion. France holds out, due to quar-
rel with Pekin whether the boxer in
demnity shall be paid in French paper
francs or gold francs.
American relief funds are urgently
needed, especially in the region Of
Tientsin, where famine sufferers will
be employed on flood prevention
works.

ODD THINGS FOUND IN FISH
Brooch Swallowed by Cod Is Returned
to Woman-Doa, Goat and
Purses Found in Sharks.

An old wedding ring has been found
inside scallop dredged up off Wey-
mouth. How 1t got there is be-
yond guessing, but there 1t was, badly
discolored, with no mark or sign to
show whose finger it had ever adorned.
There is scarcely fisherman who
cannot tell of some strange find made
while cleaning his catch. Worth
ington angler caught a codling two
and half pounds in weight and
found inside 1t claw ring in which
was set an extremely good diamond.
Cod are greedy and will swallow
anything bright. A woman living at
Churnside in Berwickshire bought one
of the fish from an Eyemouth dealer
and discovered inside 1t blue enamel
brooch with lettering and number.
She advertised it and it was found to
belong to an Edinburgh woman whose
daughter had lost it at Ellie in Fife.
Whenever a shark is caught it is
always cut open to see what is inside,
A shark caught in March, 1912, off the
ioioAAu VI huO llASluC II q
dog, goat and a regular museum Of
bones
Another small shark taken off the
North American coast was found TO
contain handbag in which were four
English sovereignS, six shillings, four
United States dollars, a diamond ring
and love letter.
The most amazing Of all such finds
was made in October, 1915. 1t was
believed that Germans in the United
States had chartered vessels to sup
ply the German submarines, but it
was some time before proof could be
obtained.
Then some Brazilians caught
shark off Pernambuco and, opening it,
found inside a bag containing the
papers Of steamer named Maria Que
sada, which had sailed from the
American port of Newport News.
These papers proved beyond doubt
that this vessel had been chartered for
the purpose of helping German sub
marines.-London Tit-Bits.

Much Water Found in
Stock of Frisco Road
lBy Federated Press

st. Louis-More than $100,000,000
of water in the capitalization of the
St. Louis San Francisco railroad is
revealed in the valuation figures Of
the road published by the interstate
commerce commission. According to
the report the cost of reproducing the
entire railroad including the purchase
of land and everything at the inflated
values Of 1918 would have been $144,
251,131. After deduction of deprecia-
tion the reproduction value is set at
$110,165,415. This compares with a
claimed investment of $249, ,403, ,243 on
the books Of the company and total
capitalization of 1852, ,344. The
capitalization also covers about $780,
100000 worth of securities of other
companies.
In 1924 Frisco made net profit of
$18,339, ACT after all rentals had been
paid. This represents a return of
1910 on the valuation fixed by the
commission. But bankers have sad
died the road with a bonded debt Of
$204 ,105,318 or more than the entire
value of the road. After deduction of
the fixed charges on this huge mort
gage there remained $3,762,8 for
the stockholders.

Blacklist Scheme
Sprung in New York

New York-Everyone must regis
ter with the police and carry an iden-
tification card bearing his photograph
and fingerprints, with duplicates on
file at police headquarters, if police
commissioner Enright is successful in
putting through the plans he brought
back from South America. Enright
announced his program at a banquet
rendered him at the Waldorf-Astoria.
Blacklist possibilities were plainly
indicated by Enlight in describing the
Buenos Aires system. In Buenos
Aires employers refuse to hire any
one not having Identification card and
the police refuse to furnish cards to
persons with criminal records" Pris-
oners arrested for picketing, violation
of iniunctions and other class "crimes"
would produce a large number of
workers without Identification, that is,
employment cards.

the value would be $35 or less. His
bill makes stealing Of any fowl a fell
