Representative Gilbert, formerly

If such condition exists, he said,

Copeland.
He told the Senate the average

Senator Smoot of Utah, on the
other hand, said that he had received
many complaints that the ages OF
retirement were too low; that the
employees don't want to retire so
early; that they could not live on

Senator Sterling of South Dakota,

ence with members of the House to
create a demand which viii force
consideration of this measure before
the close OF the present session.
The Stanfield bill liberalizing the
retirement act was passed by the SEN
ate yesterday afternoon.
Before passing the bill tRe Senate
amended it SO as to make the age of
voluntary retirement 65 years for
the general run of Government en-
ployes and So years for mechanics,
laborers, city and rural letter car
riers. post office clerks and railway
postal clerks.
The maximum annuity provided in
the bill is $1,000. Under the present
law 1t is 1920. The age of voluntary
retirement under existing law for the
employees generally is 20 years.
The galleries of the Senate were
filed with employees and retired en-
employees, who followed the discussion
of the bill with interest. When the
presiding officer announced that the
bill had been passed they broke into
applause.
Age Limits Raised.
An effort was made to reduce the
age of voluntary retirement for the
railway mail clerks and other special
classes to 60 years of age, but this
was beaten by vote of 46 to "a.
There was no roll call on the final
passage of the Bill.
AS originally reported to the Sen
ate. the bill fixed 63 and So years, re-
spectively, as the ages of voluntary
retirement after 80 years of service.
The age limits adopted by the Senate
were the result of a compromise, 1t
was explained by Senator Stanfield,
made with Senator Smoot of Utah

Under the terms of the bill passed
yesterday, the contribution by the en-

CINCINNATI, Ohio, February 25.-
Interscholastic athletic contests
among high school girls and inter-
sectional and post-season games be-
tween high school teams were as
sailed in the report of the committee
on national high school athletics of
the National Association of Sec
ondary School Principals adopted by

A heated debate preceded the accept
ance of the committees recommen nda-

uous exercise on the part of girls
of high school age injurious to their
health. 1t did not deal with inter
school contests. Afiliation of State
high school athletic associations
with the National Federation of State
Interscholastic Athletic Associations
was recommended in the report, which

URGED TO VETO BILL.

Many letters and kilograms are be-
ing received at the White House from
persons in various sections of the coun-
try urging President Coolidge to veto or
block the proposed increase of salary
for Senators, Representatives ana
members of the cabinet.
These appeals are not confined to
any special locality or to any one
group or class of citizens. In a gen
eral way the appeals are all about
the same. The senders of them, for
the greater part contend that while
members of Congress and the cabinet
may be entitled to pay raise, this is
not the time to do any boosting. They
point out that the people at large
are still suffering from the burdens
OF Federal, State and municipal taxa
tion and are anticipating relief rather
than adding burden.
There is considerable speculation in
various quarters here regarding the
probable action OF President Coolidge
toward this legislation Following
his lnvariable rule, he has given no
intimation as to his feelings in the
matter or regarding the action he
VIII take when the time comes. 1t
is known that numerous of his callers
nave endeavored to solicit this in
formation from him. but without
success. When the salary increase
bill reached the White House the
president sent it at once without
even looking at ii, to Brig. Gen. Lord,
director of the budget, to make a
study and a report 1t has been the
policy of President Coolidge always
TO follow the recommendation made
by the Budget Bureau in such matters
and those who are close to him ex-
press themselves confidently today
that If the Budget Bureau makes an
adverse recommendation, the Presi-
dent will unQuestionably act accord
ingly.
Interest in Secretary's Pay.
1t also is interesting to many who are
speculating in this matter to see what
the President will do in the event the
bill providing an increase of salary
for the secretary to the President is
finally passed and sent to him for his
approval.
The Legislative situation in the
Senate at the present time was dis
cussed during a conference at the
White House today between Presi-
dent Coolidge and Senator Cummins
of Iowa, President pro tenn of the
Senate. The latter said after seeing
the President that there is no mis-
taking the seriousness of the legis-
lative jam in the Senate, but he eX-
pressed hope that considerable por-
tion of the more important bills will
succeed in getting through during the
eleventh-hour rush. He said that he
expects to see the farm relief bills
passed, but he could not be so opti-
mistic regarding the Muscle Shoals
bill.

LONDON, February 25.-what with
satisfying his passion for fox hunt
ing and compressing within the few
weeks remaining before his overseas
voyage enough engagements to keep
less active person busy for months,
the Prince of Wales has been rushing
ABOUT the country continuously, dis
playing what the English have come
to call real American hustle"
Almost every day for a week he
has spent part of the day or night
more miles away. To his ordinary
activities he has added. since the
Kings illness, frequent trips to Buck
ingham Palace. He seems to think
no more of travelling 200 miles a
day in order to hunt the fox with
some favorite pack than an enthusi-
astic golfer does of journeying Is
to 20 miles to play over well liked
course.
Does Quick Change Act.
Not long ago Wales journeyed to
Yorkshire and joined a hunt. While
still in the crimson coat of the chase,
with -spattered boots, he hurried
to the railroad station, caught a
train for London. changed into eve
ming dress during the 150-mile jour
ney and appeared Spick andspan at
a dinner where, as the guest of hon
or he delivered an address.
Yesterday morning the prince rode
$50 miles to Rutlandshire, joined in
a fox hunt and returned to London
in the evening. Taking only an
hour to dress, he drove to the festival
dinner of the Royal Female Orphan
age at which he presided and made
another speech-the orphanage being
in need of funds is uSnallV the
case with such institutions not pub
licly supported.
This morning Wales was up bright
and early and took another outward
bound train, this time headed for

to the north. where tonight he dimes
with 700 farmers and proposes the
toast of "Leicestershire farmers and

signs the legislative appropriation
bill, even with a statement of protest.
he will be in the same position with
respect to the deficiency bill should it,
on reaching him, still containSa pro-
vision to increase the pay of his own

The Government departments are
being asked to cut down on every
kind of expense. Mr.. Coolidge thinks
members of Congress deserve an in
crease in pay, but he isn't at all sure
that the rest of the country thinks so.
