FIRE DEPT. SHAKE-UP
 CONFIRMED BY DEEM
(Continued from First Page)

of 55 years and who have served 25 years v,il be eligible for pension if they apply; but if they do not, they may continue in the service as long as they are capable of performing their duties, Chairman Dehm eX- plained today. Pensions will be at the rate of half-pay as in the past, but the wage for the current year will be considered in every case. Under the present plan a man re- ceives half-pay, when pensioned, as of the year Of his pension, receiving no increase when the wage is boost ed.
 Men may be placed into this pen stoned reserve upon application when they have reached the required age and have served 25 years, provided they have a physicians certificate, upon vote of majority of the com- missioners and with the consent of the mayor. They may be recalled to active service whenever their condi- tion is found to warrant return.
 Chairman Dehm favors assignment of veteran fremen to the positions of manuel switchboard operators after April 1. The budget provides for two men, one on each shift. This will take the men selected out of the more laborious and hazardous tasks of fighting fires and their places In the ranks will be taken by younger firemen, under nehm's plan. It may also make it possible for them to remain longer in the department than they might otherwise find it physically possible to do, he ex- plains.

WAS USELESS HOLDUP
New Haven Man, Intended Victim, Had Been Playing Cards So Bandits Got Nothing.

New Haven, Feb. 1o-Vincent Bouton was destined to lose his money; the question was of method only.
 Bouton reported today to police that as he was strolling down the street in the wee, small hours, his saunter was interrupted by two men who jumped out of a car and order- ed him to throw up his hands.
 Bouton put 'em up. But, he re- ported plaintively, it was in vain all around, for he had just come from a little session with the pasteboards." Bouton got more out of the encounter than the hold up men, for he was able to give police very complete descriptions of the men for whom they should look.

Piles Disappear
No Cutting or Salves Needed


 External treatments seldom ban ish Piles and for the very good req son that the cause is inside-bad circulation in affected parts, veins are flabby and bowel walls weak ened.
 To quickly and safely rid yourself of piles you must free the circula- tion-send fresh, healthy blood to the raw, sensitive membranes. h. ternal treatment is one safe method. Ointments and other external treat ments can't give lasting relief.
 J. s. Leonhardt, M. D.. a special ist, set at work some years ago to find real internal remedy for piles. He succeeded. He named his pre- scription HEM-ROID, and it has proven successful in thousands of cases-so successful that now HEM ROID Is sold by druggists under a money back guarantee. It is a harmless tablet, easy to take, and can always be found at Fair Dept Store, Inc, who will promptly re- fund the purchase price if you are dissatisfied.

Mrs. Lindbergh will not continue

On her trip to Grand Rapids Mrs

Honolulu Air Derby
Delayed to Tuesday
By Fziers' Consent

looked on; the smash off Point Iona,
San Diego, which took the lives of
Lieutenants George CoveI and r. S.
Weggener, U. S. NJ, on Tuesday; the
wreck of the huge tri-plane pride of
Los Angeles" as it was attempting to
land here yesterday marked the major
fatalities III the race. The occupants
of the Los Angeles were compelled to
swim to the top Of their plane when it
was submerged in San Francisco bay,
but we're uninjured. With daring that
was aWe-inspiring, the zenaining en-
trants here stoday, nine in number,
continued their preparations for tests,
taking the fataIiStic attitude that they
are safer in the air than on the ground.
The number "13" surrounds the race
arrangements The trail of jinx which
has followed fliers approaching the
starting point, has marked three
planes out of the race in three days,
leaving only nine, out of the original
list of Is entrants. Two avlators
never obtained planes after they post
ed their entry checks, cutting the list
to the iinX number 13; they will start
on their way in the thirteenth hour of
the day and the original starting date
would have landed them in Honolulu
on the thirteenth. Lieutenant CovelPS
monoplane was to have been the thir
teenth starter, until 2ie crashed to
death.
The advancing of the starting date
gave fliers opportunity to snatch need
ed sleep today, before resuming their
tests. Even with the added time, how
ever, it was apparent that all would
not qualify by Tuesday.
The unanimously consent agreement
entered into last night Changes the
starting order in favor of those who
qualify earliest irrespective of the posi-
tions drawn originally. The zero hour
in which to qualify planes will be
Monday at 10 a. M, according to the
agreement.
At the pilots conference last night
suggestion was made to the airport
management that field lights be main
tanned throughout the night after the
fIierS start as some starters may de-
velop trouble few hundred miles out
which will force them to put back to
shore
Four of the nine entrants passed all
tests today. They are:
Bennett Griffin, flying the mono
plane Oklahoma, who retains his place
as first starter.
Norman GODDARD, q naval lieutenant
on leave from San Diego, flying a
monoplane of special design, who will
go into the air after Griffin.
Major Livingston Irving of Berkeley,
who takes his monoplane into third
starting order, place originally as
signed to Charles w. ParkhuTst of
LomaX, Ill
Jack Frost, flying the San Francisco
Examiners yellow cigar shaped mono
plane, noSed "Auggy" Pedlar out of
fourth place, and moved up from
fifteenth.
The pilots will be given starting
positions in the order in which they
are certified to the local committee as
qualified the pilots announced, in ac-
cordance with their agreement.

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Aug. IL up
Benjamin PurnelI, leader Of the
House of David colony, today
broke the silence which has char
acterized his attitude during years
of litigation. Taking the stand
in his own defense in the states
dissolution suit, he readily ad-
mitted he never secured a divorce
from the Kentucky hills girl he
married SO years ago and later
deserted to wed the present queen
of the colony. States attorneys
had plumbed witness after wit
ness in unsuccessful efforts 20
substantiate their charge that
BejaInin was biganist 1t was
the first time Purnell ever testi-
fled in court proceedings.
Aside from that lone admission
PurneIl denied all state aiiega-
tiOns. With a monotOnous reitera-
ton of "nO" and 81 never did"
he classed the states accusations
and the testimony of former girl
cOIOnists as untruths. In categOr-
icaI order he flatIy denied ne

that he taught or believed in
mysterious rites, that there was
an "inner circle" of chosen Shiloh
