in the portraiture of notables. both
American and foreign, including
royalty. On the same day will open

probably also Of medals and drawings
by Emil Fuchs. Both of these are
likely to prove of special interest.
The next day, December 8, the gal
lery will place on view the thirty
fifth annual exhibition Of the Society
Of Washington Artists. This will COM
prise works in oil painting and In
sculpture, not only by local men and

nitz, prohibition administrator Of the
sixth district, and B. w. Andrews,

conference that this immunity will be
extended only to prohibition agents
while in actual pursuit Of suspected
bootleggers.
At other times, he made plain, the
prohibition agents will be held to legal
maximum of 35 miles an hour.
Further. he pointed out, the State
police, by permitting agents in actual
pursuit of bootleggers to exceed the
speed limit, will not waive their rights
to take subsequent action.
The conference arose out of a re
cent case on the Washington boule-
ward, where both alleged bootlegger
and pursuing agents were arrested.
The alleged bootlegger's case was dis
while the agents were held.

pardoned.
Olshanska confessed to the police
that he threw the bomb under orders
Of secret Ukranian military organ
iZation. which had now instructed him
to confess in order to prevent the con-
viction Of Steiger. Olshanska's guilt,
the Berlin police say. is clearly ap-

fession.
Olshanska is a Ukranian Commun.

LEAVE IS SPURNED
BY i. S. WORKERS
Less Than 7 Per Cent Take
Full Advantage of 80 Days
Off Yearly.

Fewer than 7 per cent of the EN-
ployes Of the Department Of Com
merce in the District took full ad-
vantage during the calendar year
1924 Of the 80 days of annual leave
granted to government employees,
Clifford Hastings, chief of the ap-
pointment division of the department,
declared in his annual report today.
Less than one-third of ! per cent
used the full extent of sick leave
allowed by law and regulation. The
report showed 1889 employees in the
service of the department on July
/. 1925, of whom 3967 We're in Wash
ington and 9,079 in the field, a net
increase of 1929 over the fiscal year
1924.
Increase in Transfer.
The greater part of this increase
ne attributed to the transfer or the
ratent Office and the Bureau of
Mines to the Commerce Department.
Professional and scientific services
Of the department are steadily ex-
panding, he said, the increase for
these departments being placed at I
per cent, while the clerical, admin
istrative and fiscal classification de-
creased per cent.
Mr., Hastings expresses the opinion
that conditions generally in the Fed
eral service are better than at any
time within the past decade. In sup
port of this belief, statistics are pre-
sented showing more nearly normal
turnover in the personnel.
Mr.. Hastings intimates that this
may be attributed to slightly i'm
proved conditions of service" as well
as ito n partial recovery from the de-
noralizing effect of war and postwar
influence
Morale Improved.
He adds that in spite Of criticism to
the contrary, the effort to improve the
morale and standards of qualifications
Of the personnel of the Federal serv-
see, initiated by the enactment of the
classification act of 1928, has resulted
in a general betterment.
During the fiscal year ~ employees
