fund by these Employer
A. II has been estimated by the
Civil Service commission and the
Bureau of Pensions that approx
mately $4,000 employees pay into
the government retirement fund an
per cent OF their salaries each
month. The amount paid annually
Is estimated at s17.5O0.00o. No
actual figures are available.
Q. After whom was the month
OF May named
A. 1t is supposed to have come
from "Maia," the mother OF the
god Hermes, or Mercury. This
legend Is based upon the similarity
OF the two words. II is thought by
many that the name was probably
given In honor OF the Majores or
MaioreS the original Roman senate,
as June was In honor OF the Juni-
ores. the lower branch Of the Roman
legislature.
Q. Has the League OF Nations
taken steps in regard to the Greco
Bulgar affair?
A. A commission appointed by
the league council has been to
Greece and Bulgaria to ascertain the
facts and causes Of friction between
the countries and to report their
findings to the league assembly.
Q. Who discovered gold In Call
fornia?
A James W. Marshall, who was
at the head OF a gang Of Mormons
digging a mill race at Suffers Fort,
near Sacramento, In 1S48 when he
discovered gold dust In the sand.
The news spread rapidly as far as
the Atlantic seaboard and In 1919
the rush to the new gold fields be.
gan. In the next five years over
$50, 900 Of gold was produced in
California
@. What is SCOT?
4. A black substance consisting
Of carbon from the smoke Of wood
or coal, especially that which adj
heres to the inside of a chimney,
containing also volatile products
condensed from the combustion OF
the wood or coal. including certain
ammonia salts, 1t Is used as a
fertilizer and was at one time used
in medicine.
@. Is there an accurate count Of
the number of drug addicts in the
United States at the present time?
A. In a statement recently issued
the United States Public Health
Service said that they realized how
impossible it was at the present time
to make an exact count of the per-
sons addicted to narcotics In the
United States, in an individual state
or even in one Of our larger cities.
because Of the social and legal fac
tors tending to make addiction a.
secret practice. They have, how
ever, attempted a. number Of sur
veys in recent years from available
state sources, and from reports made
by agents Of the Bureau of Internal
revenue and other persons on the
narcotic clinics conducted in differ
mt parts Of the country. The evil
lence so far seems to show that
maximum estimate for the number
Of addicts in the United States at
the present time would be $50, 900.
Based on actual counts and on the
available supply Of narcotics the es-
innate would be approximately
10000. The report also states that
he number Of addicts has decreased
steadily since 1900. Before this
decrease Aret an there were an estl
mated ndrl5er of 264,00o addicts in
this country,

Celia Aframe Trapped In House When Fire Blocks Only
 Exit
Quick Work by Fire Department Ssv.
 es Wooden Building

Having his attention called to the fire in the home of J. Aframe. South Main street, Tuesday morning, Land lord Harquoil of the City Hotel, next door, rushed out and rescued Miss Celia Aframe, the only person in the tenement. by breaking a window and pulling the girl through. The fire was raging in the entry and flames were coming through the door accompanied by dense black smoke when Landlord Harquoil ran up the outside stairs and rescued Miss Aframe. The window through which the rescue was per- formed was but a few feet from the door where the fire was raging the hardest.
 Clerk Makes Discovery
 The fire was seen by H. Mckee, a clerk in the hotel. who called to the landlord. Others saw the dense smoke at about the same time. Box sl was rung in and the fire department made a quick getaway and was at the fire in time to check 1t before the flames could burst through the south side of the building.
 When the department arrived there
  from the south side of the building, which is in close proximity to the City Hotel across an alley not over thirty feet wide. The hotel is an old wooden structure. \ high wind was blowing from the north and the dense smoke filled the alleyway. IL looked Co the first arrivals at the scene as If the h0- tel would catch.
 Fire We'll Handled
 The ire was SO well handled that on only one or two occasions were tongues of flame seen shooting, for second or two. from the burning building. A line of chemical hose was first laid and then the water. The fire was kept within the walls and on the top floor. Little damage was done ia the meat market of Aframa < Bravo, owners of the building. on the ground floor in the front of the building. No one oc- cupied a down stars tenement in the rear. Except for the damage 10 the roof the loss was mostly confined to the Aframe tenement.
 Rubbish Blamed
 It is believed that the fire started from some rubbish in the entry way near the only exit from the tenement. There was no fire in the Aframe home.
 Mir. Bravo stated after the fire that the building was not fully insured on account of the high rate on that class of building and location. The house. hold effects in the Aframe home were drenched with water. The roof of the building was badly damaged and the fire ate into the partitions. Mir. Bravo would not estimate the loss, but it will probably go over thousand dollars.
