pass a mental examination. Leon
ard V. Harrison, secretary of the
civic affairs committee Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, is cooperating with
the board in preparing questions for
this test.
Our effort will be to remove all
suspicion and to conduct an exami-
nation that will be fair and square
to ALL" Harrison said.
Whether majority faction city
councilmen will succeed in their en-
deavor to kill civil service was being
discussed.
Patronage Removed
Councilmen in the past have OBJ
tanned considerable patronage In
naming policemen and flremen. This
patronage will be removed by civil
service.
However, councilmen claim they
merely wish to see that civil service
has been legalized by councilmanic
action and also say they resent the
fact that Harrison is taking an ac-
tive part in the commissions
affairs.
White said that the commission
will examine aspirants for flremen
when they have finished with the
policemen.

The familiar words from The

applicant for the police force is not
entirely rose-pathed.
For it's to be the survival Of the
fittest under the new civil service
commission, according to John F.
White, president.
With 124 applications received
when the lists closed Dec. /, the
commission is preparing an ex-

Of the law in this city.
Probe Character
First, we make a thorough inves-
tigation Of their character, past life
and standing in their neighborhood,"
White said. This test already has
eliminated a number Of men whose
only qualification was political sup
port"
Much or this work is done by city
detectives.
To date more than thirty persons
have been investigated, commission
officials say.
Then will come a thorough medi-
cal and physical inspection, during
which the applicants who lack physi-
cal and health stamina will be elm
mated, according to White. First
pins were to hold this examination
Saturday, but preliminary investiga-
ton has proceeded slowly recently,

til next week.

old papers that had been left there

You can imagine my surprise and
Joy when l happened to read your
name. You had sold your glorious
pearls to Paula Perier and Kari
whitney and had placed the money
in trust for your two boys. Don't
think that I was happy at the
thought that you had sold your
pearls. Even though the CORE

had some superstition about them
and had attributed much of the un-
happiness that had come to you to
their possession and consequently
you had determined not to keep
them.

had given the pearls he had pur-
chased TO charity and Of course Mis-
Perier can have no superstition

of the finest pearls in all filmdom.
