SAYS Salaries Unequal.
THE classification act Of 1928,
writes Mr. Steward was enacted 10y
Congress for the purpose OF standard,
fling on the basis of duties performed
the compensation of Federal employees,
exclusive Of the postal service, which
had already been classified.
THE act applied directly to posi-
lions within the District of Columbia,
with provisions for a survey OF the
positions in the field service. upon
which survey the Congress might be
enabled to pass legislation providing
fair. standard rates Of compensation
for these services.
Almost four years have elapsed
since the passage Of the classification
act. No survey has been made and no
steps are being taken by the admins
tering agency, the Personnel CLASH
f1cation Board. 10 carry ouc the will
of Congress in this respect.
"The result is that at the present
time different Government establish
ments pay different salaries for the
same kind of work performed under
the same conditions. in the same com
munity, often in the same building"

CUSTER's LAST STAND
 IN THE SCARLET WEsT''

A reproduction of Busters Last Stand is one of the many thrilling features that make "The Scarlet West" First National picture to- night at the Liberty Theatre, one of the outstanding film productions of the year.
 This episode in American history has no dramatic counterpart, and the producer, Frank J. Carroll, has re- produced it with a fidelity that only six months of research could insure. The camera has visualized this mem- orable event with such graphic viv- idness that it is a sight never to be forgotten.
 One sees the gallant general and his soldiers fighting against bitter odds, gradually being surrounded by the thousands of galloping Indians. One by one the troopers drop in their tracks until only a small band remain. Standing in their midst, erect and unafraid, and firing his rifle as rapidly as possible, is Custer. Undaunted, he fights to the end. A moment after his last man is slain he also drops to the ground-a hero meeting hero's death.

fruits and milk; fruits and vegetables.
Mans stomach is his best friend and
in a state of health he should be un-
conscious that he has one. When pain
reminds him that he has stomach,
it is time to stop abusing it, to feed
it right and not over work it-then it
will serve him to a ripe old age.
Man is an independent, self-willed,
obstinate animal, and an epicure in
his tastes, "who wants what he wants
when he wants it," and doesn't want
to be taught or told what he shall eat
or drink. But when he is down and
almost out he is mighty glad to listen
and follow the fads of those he called
fools.
