RETIRED OFFICERS
MUST OBSERVE LAW
Notified by Gen. Hines That Sale
of Merchandise to Govern
ment Forfeits Pay.

With a view to the strict enforce.
ment of the law prohibiting Federal
payments to retired officers of the
Army. engaged or employed in the
sale Of any merchandise or material to
the War Department or the Army
Maj. Gen. j. l.. Hines, chief of staff
has called on every retired officer to
certify on or prior to July 1 whether
he is or is not so engaged or EN-.
ployed.
According to the circular on the
subject "the failure of any retired of
ficer to execute certificate that he is
engaged in any prohibited activity will
subject him to disciplinary measures -
Where an officer ceases to be en-.
gagged in a prohibited activity he is ex.
pected to report the fact promptly SC
that payment of his retired pay may
be resumed. An officer who has re
ceived retired pay in contravention OF
the law is required to refund it to the
finance officer who paid it. The fact
that a finance officer makes a pay
ment to a retired officer who under
the law is prevented from receiving
such pay, the circular says, will be
no valid reason to permit such retired
officer to accept such payment"

AID IN P[EB|SC|TE
PLEDGED BY PERU
Pershing Will Sail for africa
as Soon as Plans Are
Completed.

Peru's communication to President
Coolidge notifying him of the appoint.
ment of a Peruvian delegate to the
Tacna-Arica Plebiscitary Commission,
was said today at the State Depart.
ment to raise no controversial point
ana that, therefore, there would prob.
ably be no reply to Peru besides the
usual acknowledgment of receipt.
1t was said that the communication
merely stated Peru's acceptance Of the
award and proclaimed her Willingness
to cooperate in the full good faith in
the plebiscite.
Will Sail Soon.
1t was again announced that Gen.
Pershing will sail for africa as soon
as ne shall have got in touch with the
other two commissioners, and as soon
as his staff shall have been finally
gathered. This staff has not yet been
flnally decided upon in all it's details,
IL was learned today, many members
oelns stu under discussion. 1t is
known, however, that Gen. Pershing
proposes to be accompanied by experts
who shall be able to act on the
plebiscitSry as well as on the boundary
commission, thus avoiding duplication
or work. In any case the list of Gen.
Pershing's staff will probably be sub
mitted for the approval of Secretary
Kellogg. before it is finally made
public.
The route and means of convey
ance which the general will use to
OFT to africa have not yet been finally
decided upon either, but it was said
today here that a United States
cruiser most probably would be used,
both because Gen. Pershing wishes
to hasten the first meeting day of the
plebisictary commission and also be
cause it would be difficult to obtain
accommodations for his large staff on
SO short notice upon a privately
owned steamer.

RECORD OF CHURCH
in DIVORCES GIVEN
Swedenborgians Claim Few Sepa-

Maintained on Marriage.
By the Associated Press.

CINCINNATI, June 20.-In spite of
liberal view on divorce, which en-
braces the Ibsen philosophy that sepa-
ration is better than a loveless union,
the ministers of the Swedenborgian
Church claimed at it's convention ses-
sions that their church had fewer di-
Vorces per capita than any other Prot
estant denomination.
One pastor declared that in As years
of service to a church numbering over
1000 he had known only Of four di-
vorces among his members. He at
tributed this to the emphasis laid by
the church on the beauty and solem-
nifty of marriage. He summed up his
talk by saying "our young people do
not take the covenant of marriage
lightly"
The church has never seriously con-
sidered the divorce problem, because
I'VE have had so few separations" he
added ...

MINOR SHIFTS SEEN
. AMONG CITY POLICE
Traffic Bureau Slated for
Few Personnel Changes,
Fenning Says.

While no further major changes in

ing the traffic situation and possible
ways OF improving cooperation with
the police and the traffic director.
1t is known that Headley was not
sympathetic to a number of the traf-
f1c changes recommended by Director
Eldridge, and it is understood that it
was this reported lack of cooperation
that lead to Headley's removal and
demotion
Inspector Brown denied today that
he had in view any important changes
in the present policy of the Traffic Bu-
reau. He said the conference today
was principally for the purpose of Of
ferlng his cooperation to the traffic

FALSE PRIDE

When business is humming, and
coin is rolling in, and things are up
and coming, we wear gaudy grin.
We think we're surely doing i'm
portant things and fine, high aims
we are pursuing, we'd make the old
world shine. With honors we are
weighted. our wreaths are multiplied,
our bosoms are inflated with false
and foolish pride. If we should die
tomorrow who would recall our
deeds? Our aunts might whoop in
sorrow, and wear some sable weeds !;
some friends might wipe their faces
to rid the same of tears. but men
would take our places while we held
down our biers. Before the bells
ceased tolling, before the dirges
stopped, live wires would come a-roll-
ing to take the jobs we'd dropped.
Perhaps they'd do things better than
ever we have done, the arrogant 60
petter would, win more fame and
mon. I often read old papers, the
records of the past, to mark the
prideful capers of men who didn't
last. The swelled-up men of 40 or
5$ years gone by! They charged
around rip-snorty, their fame was
wide and high. These naughty men
and clever kicked up startling
breeze, and thought they'd live for
ever in peoples memories. But when
they died of CHAMBERS or gout or
Spanish flu, these passing A1exanders
made way for Alecks new. Their
glowing names have perished, all are
| forgotten now, the dreams and pride
they cherished are dead as Caesar
cow. We are not so essential that
| men will speak our fame. in accents
| reverentiaf when wee have quit the
game.
